Garutti continued, "We're executing our multi-format growth strategy with great Shacks in our current markets as well as new markets across the country. We remain encouraged by the great locations we are seeing. Based upon our updated development plans, we now expect to open 19 Shacks this year and 21 to 22 next year, representing growth of 43% and 35% in 2016 and 2017, respectively. With the recent test launch of our first ever Shack App, we are meeting our guests where they are, and are beginning to lay the groundwork to connect the digital experience with the community gathering place of the Shack. This is just our first step, but we are excited about the endless possibilities the App brings to Shake Shack and our guests."

Third Quarter 2016 Review

Total revenue, which includes Shack sales and licensing revenue, increased 40.0% to $74.6 million in the third quarter of 2016, from $53.3 million for the third quarter of 2015. Shack sales for the third quarter of 2016 were $71.9 million, an increase of 40.2% from $51.3 million in the same quarter last year, due primarily to the opening of new Shacks, as well as same-Shack sales growth. Licensing revenue for the third quarter was $2.7 million, an increase of 34.9% from $2.0 million in the same quarter last year, due primarily to the opening of new licensed Shacks.

Same-Shack sales were 2.9% for the third quarter of 2016 versus 17.1% growth in the third quarter last year. The comparable Shack base includes those restaurants open for 24 months or longer. For the third quarter of 2016, the comparable Shack base included 26 Shacks versus 16 Shacks for the third quarter of 2015.

Average weekly sales for domestic company-operated Shacks remained constant at $103,000 for the third quarter of 2016 compared to the same quarter last year.

Shack-level operating profit, a non-GAAP measure, increased 32.6% to $20.7 million for the third quarter of 2016 from $15.6 million in the same quarter last year. As a percentage of Shack sales, Shack-level operating profit margins decreased 160 basis points to 28.8%, primarily due to increased labor and related expenses resulting from the company-wide increase to the starting hourly wage that was implemented at the beginning of the fiscal year, as well as an increase in medical claims. A reconciliation of Shack-level operating profit to operating income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is set forth in the schedules accompanying this release. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

General and administrative expenses increased to $7.9 million for the third quarter of 2016 from $5.7 million in the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily driven by higher payroll expense from increased headcount at the home office to support growth plans as well as the costs associated with the Annual Leadership Retreat which occurred in Q2 of last year but are included in Q3 this year. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 10.6% for the third quarter of 2016 from 10.8% in the third quarter last year, primarily due to the increased levels of Shack sales.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, increased 26.3% to $15.2 million. As a percent of total revenue, adjusted EBITDA margins decreased approximately 220 basis points to 20.3% compared to 22.5% for the year ago period. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is set forth in the schedules accompanying this release. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. was $3.8 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2016, compared to $1.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

Adjusted pro forma net income, a non-GAAP measure, increased 25.1% to $5.5 million, or $0.15 per fully exchanged and diluted share during the third quarter of 2016, compared to $4.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share during the third quarter of 2015. A reconciliation between net income (loss) attributable to Shake Shack Inc. and adjusted pro forma net income is included in the accompanying financial data.

Updated 2016 Outlook

For the fiscal year ending December 28, 2016, the Company is revising its financial outlook to the following:

Definitions

The following definitions apply to these terms as used in this release:

"Shack sales" is defined as the aggregate sales of food and beverages in domestic company-operated Shacks and excludes sales from licensed Shacks.

"Same-Shack sales" represents Shack sales for the comparable Shack base, which is defined as the number of domestic company-operated Shacks open for 24 months or longer.

"Average weekly sales" is calculated by dividing total Shack sales by the number of operating weeks for all Shacks in operation during the period. For Shacks that are not open for the entire period, fractional adjustments are made to the number of operating weeks such that it corresponds to the period of associated sales.

"Shack-level operating profit margin" is defined as Shack sales less certain operating expenses, including food and paper costs, labor and related expenses, other operating expenses and occupancy and related expenses as a percentage of Shack sales.

“EBITDA” means, for any reporting period, net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense.

“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense, adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that the Company does not consider in their evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include equity-based compensation expense, deferred rent adjustments, as well as certain other non-recurring items. Effective September 28, 2016, the Company no longer excludes pre-opening costs from its computation of Adjusted EBITDA. Prior period amounts have been restated to conform to the current period computation methodology.

"Adjusted pro forma net income" represents net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. assuming the full exchange of all outstanding membership interests of SSE Holdings, LLC for shares of Class A common stock, adjusted for certain non-recurring items the Company does not believe directly reflect their core operations.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(UNAUDITED)

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: Shack-level operating profit, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share (collectively the "non-GAAP financial measures"). The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures used by the Company are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation.

Shack-Level Operating Profit

Shack-level operating profit and Shack-level operating profit margin are supplemental measures of operating performance and are not required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. The Company believes that Shack-level operating profit and Shack-level operating profit margin, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, are important measures used to by management to evaluate the performance and profitability of each Shack, individually and in the aggregate. A reconciliation of Shack-level operating profit to operating income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is set forth below.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net income or cash flow from operations, as determined by GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used by management to measure the operating performance of their business, facilitate internal comparisons to historical performance and competitors' operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is also utilized as a metric in the Company's bonus and equity incentive programs. A reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is set forth below.

Adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share is calculated by dividing adjusted pro forma net income by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding LLC Interests, after giving effect to the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options.

Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share, as determined by GAAP. Management believes adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share supplement GAAP measures and enables them to more effectively evaluate their performance period-over-period and relative to competitors. A reconciliation of adjusted pro forma net income to net income (loss) attributable to Shake Shack Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and the computation of adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share are set forth below.
