Brazil Fast Food Announces Second Quarter 2012 Results

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Aug 20, 2012 — Brazil Fast Food Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: BOBS) (“Brazil Fast Food”, or the “the Company”), the second largest fast-food restaurant chain in Brazil with 963 points of sale, operating under (i) the Bob’s brand, (ii) the Yoggi brand, (iii) KFC and Pizza Hut São Paulo as franchisee of Yum! Brands, and (iv) Doggis as franchisee of Gastronomia & Negocios S.A. (former Grupo de Empresas Doggis S.A.), today announced financial results for the second quarter 2012 ended June 30, 2012.

System-wide sales totaled R$254.2 million, up 22.3% from the second quarter 2011

“We are pleased to report a very strong quarter of profitability and EBITDA growth, reflecting the strength of our brands and shift towards more franchised stores,” said Ricardo Figueiredo Bomeny, CEO of Brazil Fast Food Corp. “We maintained a strong and liquid balance sheet, which gives us the flexibility to invest in future expansion.”

Second Quarter 2012 Results

System-wide sales grew 22.3% in the second quarter to R$254.2 million, driven by an increase in the number of franchised points of sale as well as higher sales from company-owned stores.

Total revenue for the second quarter 2012 increased by 8.0% to R$55.1 million compared to R$51.0 million in the second quarter 2011.

Net restaurant sales for company-owned retail outlets was up 5.0% year-over-year to R$40.2 million in the second quarter 2012, reflecting an increase in net revenues across the Company’s KFC and Pizza Hut brands, offset somewhat by a decrease in net revenues for the Company’s Bob’s and Doggis brand. In 2011 the Company converted all its own-operated Doggis’ stores to franchised stores.

Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2012, Brazil Fast Food had R$23.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, up from R$21.4 million as of December 31, 2011. Working capital was R$15.2 million, as compared to R$16.9 million as of the end of 2011. Total shareholders' equity as of June 30, 2012 was R$53.2 million, compared to R$45.5 million at the end of 2011.

In the first six months of 2012, Brazil Fast Food generated net cash flow from operating activities of R$8.5 million, representing a decrease of 11.9%, from R$9.6 million for the comparable period in 2011. The Company used R$9.0 million in cash towards investment in property and equipment to improve the Company's retail operations, mainly setting up new owned-and-operated KFC and Pizza Hut stores.

Business Outlook

In May 2012, the Company acquired Yoggi do Brasil Ltda (“Yoggi”) which operates a franchise network of frozen yogurt in Brazil since 2008 with 48 franchised point of sales and 43 franchisees. Management anticipates synergy savings from this acquisition and foresees possible market consolidation. Brazil Fast Food expects to increase the total number of points of sale to 150 over the next five years.

“Under the KFC and Pizza Hut brand, we have own-operated stores, as franchisee of Yum! brands. We are focused on enhancing our own-stores profitability and operational margins in the coming quarters. We do not have any own-operated stores under the Doggis and Yoggi brands. Our growth strategy for these two brands is to expand through franchisees and to become a market leader in the hot dog and frozen yogurt segments. We believe there is a tremendous growth opportunity in Brazil and we will seek to expand our market share in these two segments. At the end of 2012, we expect Bobs’ brand to reach a total of 1000 points of sale, a 20.5% increase from 2011. Our objective is to continuously expand and increase our margins for our own-operated stores and franchised stores under the Bob’s brand,” concluded Mr. Bomeny.

EBITDA represents earnings before net interest expense, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization. Our management believes EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating companies in our industry. In addition, our management believes that EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculation of EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing and income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending, which items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. As a result, our management uses EBITDA as a measure to evaluate the performance of our business. However, EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and when analyzing our operating performance, investors should use EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for, income from operations and net income, each as determined in accordance with GAAP. Not all companies use identical calculations, and our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as a tax and debt service payments.
