PIZZA INN HOLDINGS, INC. REPORTS RESULTS FOR
SECOND QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2014

Company continues to grow Pie Five Pizza Co. concept

 
THE COLONY, Texas – February 12, 2014 -- PIZZA INN HOLDINGS, INC. (NASDAQ: PZZI)
 
Second Quarter Highlights:
 
Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.4 million to a loss of $0.2 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013
Net loss increased $0.3 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2013 to a loss of $0.4 million
Company-owned restaurant sales increased 22.3% over the second quarter of fiscal 2013 to $2.4 million
Two franchised and one Company-owned Pie Five Pizza Co. restaurants opened 
Two additional multi-unit franchise development agreements awarded, resulting in 48 additional units under contract
 
Pizza Inn Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PZZI) today announced results for the second fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2013. The Company had a net loss in the second quarter of $0.4 million compared to a net loss of $0.1 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in net loss from prior year was primarily due to higher costs related to the continued development of the Pie Five concept as well as lower revenue earned from franchising and food and supply distribution, partially offset by higher revenue from Company-owned restaurants.
 
Total revenues for the second quarter and the prior year quarter were $10.2 million and $10.5 million, respectively. Second quarter franchise revenue was relatively stable as compared to the prior year as a decrease in franchise fees and royalties from Pizza Inn franchisees was largely offset by increased royalties and franchise fees from Pie Five franchisees. Additional franchise development fees previously received from Pie Five franchisees have been deferred and will be recognized as future restaurants are opened.

Second quarter food and supply sales decreased by approximately $0.8 million, or 10.4%, as compared to the prior year primarily due to a 7.0% decrease in domestic franchisee retail sales primarily attributable to a reduction in the average number of Pizza Inn stores open and a decrease in Pizza Inn comparable store sales. Second quarter Company-owned restaurant sales increased $0.4 million, or 22.3%, as compared to the prior year as a result of the opening of two new Company-owned Pie Five restaurants in the second half of fiscal 2013 and four new Company-owned Pie Five restaurants in fiscal 2014, partially offset by the closing of one Company-owned Pizza Inn restaurant at the completion of its lease in fiscal 2014. Second quarter general and administrative expenses remained stable compared to the prior year as higher costs associated with the continued growth of the Pie Five concept were mostly offset by lower stock compensation expense and recruiting fees.

“We continued to expand the Pie Five concept with the opening of two franchise locations and one Company-owned location, bringing the total number of units in operation to 18 in the second quarter,” said Randy Gier, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The addition of two multi-unit franchise partners with agreements to develop 48 units in the Washington D.C. metro area and the Nashville, Tennessee market brings the total number of franchise units open or under development to 150,” added Gier.
 
“The performance of our new Pie Five restaurants continues to strengthen as we re-apply our learning with each new restaurant. Honing our site selection, continuing to streamline operations, and enhancing marketing programs have led to the most recently opened Company-owned and franchised Pie Five restaurants consistently performing above the system average sales. As we move forward, we will continue to invest in additional management resources, adding more specialized positions to accelerate our growth and leadership in the segment,” continued Gier.
 
“Pizza Inn continued to execute against its strategy, resulting in building a solid foundation for the Pizza Inn system during the second quarter,” said Gier. “We successfully rolled out improved proprietary products to the system, continued asset revitalization, and successfully opened six domestic and three international units to neutralize the closure of older restaurants. We remain committed to the stabilization and eventual growth of Pizza Inn and will continue to work diligently with our franchise partners to enhance the overall guest experience,” added Gier.
 
“Calendar 2014 is off to a great start as Pizza Inn opened six Express Units in the month of January and Pie Five had the strongest franchise grand opening to date with the opening of the Port Orange, Florida location. We are pleased to have kicked off the New Year with several successful new store openings,” said, Gier.
