Dave & Buster’s, Inc. Reports Financial Results for
Second Quarter Ended July 31, 2011


DALLAS—September 13, 2011—Dave & Buster's, Inc., a leading operator of high volume entertainment/dining complexes, today announced results for its second quarter ended July 31, 2011.
 
Total revenues increased 0.6% to $128.7 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared to $127.9 million in the second quarter of 2010.  The year-over-year revenue increase was driven by a 1.9% increase in comparable store sales and was partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in revenues from non-comparable stores and other revenue sources.  Total Food and Beverage revenues decreased 1.0%, while revenues from Amusements and Other increased 2.2%.
 
Adjusted EBITDA increased 7.8% to $19.7 million in the second quarter of 2011 versus $18.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
 
Total revenues for the 26-week period increased 2.9% to $277.3 million from $269.5 million for the comparable period last year.  This revenue increase was comprised of a 4.2% increase in comparable store sales, which was partially offset by the loss of $2.7 million in revenues associated with the late first quarter 2010 flood-related closure of the Company’s store in Nashville, Tennessee and a $0.3 million net decrease in revenues from non-comparable stores and other revenue sources.  Total Food and Beverage revenues increased 1.6% and revenues from Amusements and Other increased 4.2%.
 
Adjusted EBITDA for the 26-week period increased 17.9% to $53.3 million versus $45.2 million for the comparable period last year.
 
The Adjusted EBITDA for all periods were not adversely affected by the May 2, 2010, closure of our Nashville store as the result of coverage under our business interruption insurance policy.
 
“I am very proud of our results for the first half of the year,” said Steve King, Chief Executive Officer. “Growing our Adjusted EBITDA by nearly 18% is an outstanding achievement, especially given the lackluster macroeconomic environment.”
 
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
A reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP, is set forth in the attachment to this release.

NOTE

(1) As previously reported by the Company, on June 1, 2010, affiliates of Oak Hill Capital Partners acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of our direct parent, Dave & Buster’s Holdings, Inc.  Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require operating results for the Company prior to the June 1, 2010 acquisition to be presented as Predecessor’s results in the historical financial statements.  Operating results for the Company subsequent to the June 1, 2010 acquisition are presented or referred to as Successor’s results in our historical financial statements.  References to the 13 week period ended August 1, 2010 included in this release, relate to the 62 day period ended August 1, 2010 in the Successor period and the 29 day period ended May 31, 2010 in the Predecessor period.  References to the 26 week period ended August 1, 2010 included in this release, relate to the 62 day period ended August 1, 2010 in the Successor period and the 120 day period ended May 31, 2010 in the Predecessor period.  References to the 13 week and 26 week periods ended July 31, 2011 included in this release, relate to the Successor periods.  The results for the Successor periods include the impacts of purchase accounting.

(2) The number of stores open at July 31, 2011 includes our store in Orlando, Florida which opened on July 18, 2011.  The store counts as of the end of both fiscal periods include one franchise location in Canada and our location in Nashville, Tennessee, which remains closed as of July 31, 2011 and is expected to reopen in the fourth quarter of 2011.  The store count as of August 1, 2010, includes a store in Dallas, Texas which was permanently closed on May 2, 2011.
 
(3) EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit), interest expense (net) and depreciation and amortization.  Adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, is defined as EBITDA plus (gain) loss on asset disposal, share-based compensation expense, pre-opening costs, reimbursement of affiliate expenses, and other non-cash or non-recurring charges.  The company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (collectively, “EBITDA – Based Measures”) provide useful information to debt holders regarding the Company’s operating performance and its capacity to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures.  The Company believes that the EBITDA – Based Measures are used by many investors, analysts and rating agencies as a measure of performance.  In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is approximately equal to “Consolidated EBITDA” as defined in our senior secured credit facility and indentures relating to the Company’s senior notes.  Neither of the EBITDA – Based Measures is defined by GAAP and neither should be considered in isolation or as an alternative to other financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance.  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as defined in this release may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
