The Company will focus on building the infrastructure and developing its expansion strategy for South Korea in order to position this business for long term growth.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a $1 billion share repurchase program. Share repurchases may be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions over a two year period, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, trading restrictions under the Company’s insider trading policy, and other relevant factors. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Joseph B. Parsons, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer, stated, “We are pleased to initiate a share repurchase program, which reflects the Board and management’s confidence in our ability to achieve our long term growth objectives and generate strong free cash flow. This repurchase program underscores our commitment to returning value to shareholders, while maintaining the financial flexibility to strategically invest in our business.”

Outlook

For the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company expects total revenue to be in the range of $1.27 billion to $1.30 billion. This assumes a low double digit comparable store sales increase. Diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $1.31 to $1.34 for the third quarter of fiscal 2015. This assumes 208.3 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding and a tax rate of approximately 32.5%.

For fiscal 2015, the Company now expects total revenue to be in the range of $4.3 billion to $4.4 billion. This assumes a comparable store sales increase in the mid teens. Diluted earnings per share are now expected to be in the range of $4.13 to $4.18 for fiscal 2015. This assumes 208.0 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding and a tax rate of approximately 32.2%.
