UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

On November 16, 2014, Ruth’s Hospitality Group, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Company”) and Landry’s, Inc. and Mitchell’s Entertainment, Inc., an affiliate of Landry’s Inc. (together with Landry’s Inc., “Landry’s”), entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to sell its Mitchell’s Fish Market and Mitchell’s/Cameron’s Steakhouse restaurants (collectively, the “Mitchell’s Restaurants”) and related assets to Landry’s for $10 million. The sale of the Mitchell’s Restaurants closed on January 21, 2015. The assets sold consist primarily of leasehold interests, leasehold improvements, restaurant equipment and furnishings, inventory, and related intangible assets, including brand names and trademarks associated with the 21 Mitchell’s Restaurants. Under the terms of the Agreement, Landry’s assumed the Mitchell’s Restaurants’ facility lease obligations and the Company will reimburse Landry’s for gift cards that are sold prior to the closing date and used at the Mitchell’s Restaurants during the 18 months following the closing date. In the Agreement, the Company and Landry’s have made customary representations and warranties and have agreed to customary covenants relating to the sale of the Mitchell’s Restaurants. Specifically, (i) before the closing date, the Company was subject to certain business conduct restrictions with respect to its operation of the Mitchell’s Restaurants, and (ii) for 18 months following the closing date, neither the Company nor Landry’s will knowingly solicit or employ, or seek to solicit or employ, certain key employees of the other party, subject to certain limited exceptions. It is anticipated that Landry’s will offer employment to substantially all of the employees of the Mitchell’s Restaurants. The Company and Landry’s have agreed to indemnify each other for losses arising from certain breaches of the Agreement and for certain other liabilities.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the sale of the Mitchell’s Restaurants. The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to matters that are (1) directly attributable to the sale of the Mitchell’s Restaurants, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statements of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the operating results of the Company. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information and the historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 28, 2014 and the historical audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013, and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is presented for informational purposes only. It has been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the SEC and is not necessarily indicative of what our financial position or results of operations actually would have been had we completed the sale of the Mitchell’s Restaurants at the dates indicated, nor does it purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the Company.

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the sale of the Mitchell’s Restaurants. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the thirty-nine week period ended September 28, 2014 and fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 28, 2014, have been derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company, which are included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 28, 2014 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2013. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income reflect the Company's results as if the sale of the Mitchell’s Restaurants had occurred as of December 27, 2010. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 28, 2014 reflects the Company's position as if the sale of the Mitchell’s Restaurants had occurred on that date.

 

Future income statements of the Company will treat the results of the Mitchell’s Restaurants as a discontinued operation.

 

Historical Ruth's Hospitality Group, Inc.

 

This column reflects the Company’s historical unaudited financial position as of September 28, 2014, the historical audited operating results for the fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, and the unaudited historical operating results for the thirty-nine week period ended September 28, 2014, prior to any adjustment for the sale of the Mitchell’s Restaurants and the other adjustments described below.

 

On January 21, 2015 the Company completed the previously announced sale of the Mitchell’s Restaurants to Landry’s. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the total cash consideration for Mitchell’s Restaurants was $10 million.

 

The following are included in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the thirty-nine week period ended September 28, 2014 and fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 28, 2014.

 

(1) Results of the Mitchell’s Restaurants

 

This column includes amounts representing the revenues, and expenses attributable to the Mitchell’s Restaurants which were included in the Company's historical financial statements. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, the amounts eliminated on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income do not include certain indirect corporate overhead included in general and administrative as such amounts would have been absorbed by the Company in the absence of the Mitchell’s Restaurants.

 

Income taxes are comprised of (a) taxes calculated at the composite federal and state statutory tax rate times the pre-tax loss plus (b) the FICA tip credit benefit attributable to the restaurant sales of the Mitchell’s Restaurants. A reconciliation of the U.S. statutory tax rate to the effective tax rate applicable to operations for the Mitchell’s Restaurants for the thirty-nine week period ended September 28, 2014 and fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 follows:

(3) Earning Per Share

 

Basic earnings per common share for fiscal years 2012 and 2011 is computed under the two-class method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260. Under the two-class method, a portion of net income is allocated to participating securities, such as the Company’s preferred stock, and therefore is excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share allocated to common shares. Diluted earnings per common share for fiscal years 2012 and 2011 is computed by dividing the net income applicable to preferred and common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period. Income from continuing operations for fiscal years 2012 and 2011, in both the basic and diluted earnings per common share calculations, is reduced by the Company’s preferred stock dividends ($514 thousand and $2.5 million, respectively), accretion of the Company’s preferred stock to its redemption value ($73 thousand and $353 thousand, respectively) and the excess of redemption value over carrying value of preferred shares redeemed ($35.8 million and $0, respectively).
