LAKEWOOD, Colo. – March 1, 2012 – Einstein Noah Restaurant Group, Inc.

Total revenues increased 8.6% to $115.1 million from $106.1 million, including $7.3 million for the 14th week in the fourth quarter of 2011.

 

   

System-wide comparable store sales increased 1.2%.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA of $16.8 million compared to $14.0 million. (*)

 

   

Net income available to common stockholders of $6.1 million; or $0.36 per diluted share, which included $0.03 per diluted share for restructuring expenses, compared to $3.6 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, which included $0.01 per diluted share for restructuring expenses.

 

   

The impact of the 14th week in the fourth quarter of 2011 was approximately $0.03 per diluted share.

Highlights for the 53-Week Fiscal Year 2011 Compared to the 52-Week Fiscal Year 2010:

 

   

Total revenues increased 2.9% to $423.6 million from $411.7 million, including $7.3 million for the 53rd week in fiscal year 2011.

Net income available to common stockholders of $13.2 million; or $0.78 per diluted share, which included $0.04 per diluted share for restructuring expenses, compared to $11.3 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, which included $0.01 per diluted share for restructuring expenses.

Paid $6.3 million in common dividends.

Jeff O’Neill, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We delivered strong results in the fourth quarter characterized by revenue growth and positive comparable store sales along with substantial improvements in our adjusted EBITDA and net income. Although higher commodity costs pressured store-level margins, we effectively controlled other expenses and completed phase one of our cost efficiency program, delivering $2.7 million in savings. We also expanded our system by 55 restaurants in 2011, primarily through franchising and licensing, reduced our debt, and returned capital to our shareholders through our ongoing dividend program.”

O’Neill concluded, “In 2012, we intend to solidify our leadership position in fresh baked goodness and healthy choices by introducing a new smart choices menu of bagel thin sandwiches, salads and soups, and augmenting our specialty beverage platform with real fruit smoothies and new blended coffees and teas. We will also redesign our everyday value layer for breakfast and lunch and capitalize on our momentum in catering sales. Finally, we have started phase two of our cost efficiency program, which is anticipated to generate an additional $3.0 million in annualized savings. We are optimistic about the coming year and look forward to continued progress at Einstein Noah.”

Fourth Quarter 2011 Financial Results

For the fourth quarter ended January 3, 2012, system-wide comparable store sales increased 1.2%, reflecting strong growth in check and strength in catering sales. This was partially offset by lower comparable transactions. Total revenues increased 8.6% to $115.1 million from $106.1 million.

Restaurant gross margin increased 40 basis points to 21.4% due largely to lower other operating costs that were offset by continued inflation.

Manufacturing and commissary gross margin decreased to $1.0 million from $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The decline in gross margin was primarily due to higher commodity costs and an unfavorable shift in product mix to third party customers.

Overall, gross margin was $26.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to $24.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, but held steady at 22.8% of total revenues in both periods.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $9.5 million from $10.2 million due to lower variable incentive compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA was $16.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to $14.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. (*)

The Company incurred restructuring expenses of $0.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2011 primarily related to its decision to close its five food commissaries to streamline its supply chain. The Columbus, Ohio commissary was closed in late 2011 and the remaining four commissaries are expected to close in the first quarter of 2012. The Company expects that the closing of the commissaries will result in savings of approximately $1.2 million in 2012.

Income from operations increased by $1.4 million to $10.3 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) included in this filing, the Company has provided certain non-GAAP financial information, including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, adjustment for Series Z modification, restructuring expenses and other operating expenses/(income) (“adjusted EBITDA”) and free cash flow, which the Company defines as net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used in investing activities. Management believes that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to investors because this information may allow investors to better evaluate ongoing business performance and certain components of the Company’s results. In addition, the Company’s Board of Directors uses this non-GAAP financial information to evaluate the performance of the Company and the management team. This information should be considered in addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered a substitute for the GAAP results. The Company has reconciled the non-GAAP financial information to the nearest GAAP measure.

The Company includes in this document information on system-wide comparable store sales percentages. Comparable store sales percentages refer to changes in sales of our restaurants, whether operated by the company or by franchisees and licensees, in operation for six fiscal quarters including those restaurants temporarily closed for an immaterial amount of time. Some of the reasons restaurants may be temporarily closed include remodeling, relocations, road construction, rebuilding related to site-specific catastrophes and natural disasters. Franchise and license comparable store sales percentages are based on sales of franchised and licensed restaurants, as reported by franchisees and licensees. System-wide sales include sales at all restaurants, whether operated by the Company, franchisees or licensees. Management reviews the increase or decrease in comparable sales to assess business trends. Comparable store sales exclude closed locations.

The Company uses company-owned comparable store sales, franchise and license sales and the resulting system-wide sales information internally in connection with restaurant development decisions, planning, and budgeting analyses. The Company believes comparable store sales information is useful in assessing consumer acceptance of our brands; facilitates an understanding of our financial performance and the overall direction and trends of sales and operating income; helps the Company appreciate the effectiveness of its advertising and marketing initiatives; and provides information that is relevant for comparison within the industry.

Comparable store sales percentages are non-GAAP financial measures, which should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and may not be equivalent to comparable store sales as defined or used by other companies. The Company does not record franchise or license restaurant sales as revenues. However, royalty revenues are calculated based on a percentage of franchise and license restaurant sales, as reported by the franchisees or licensees.
