Panera Bread Company Reports Q3 2015 Diluted EPS of $1.32, Excluding One-Time Items

St. Louis, MO, October 27, 2015 - Panera Bread Company (NASDAQ: PNRA) today reported financial results for fiscal Q3 2015.

HIGHLIGHTS

- Q3 2015 Revenue increased 7% to $665 million

- Q3 2015 Company-owned comparable net bakery-cafe sales growth continued to accelerate, up 3.8% on a one-year basis and 5.9% on a two-year basis

- Q4 2015 (first 27 days) Company-owned comparable net bakery-cafe sales up 3.4% on a one-year basis and 6.7% on a two-year basis

- 108 bakery-cafes converted to Panera 2.0 during Q3 2015

- Company reaffirms full-year targets

Ron Shaich, Chairman and CEO, noted, "Our strategic plan to generate increased shareholder value by making Panera a better competitive alternative with runways for expanded growth is working. Leading sales indicators are showing just that. Company comp-store sales growth continues to accelerate, rising 3.8% in Q3 and 3.4% for the first 27 days of Q4."

Shaich continued, "We are particularly pleased with these results in light of the slowing sales reported across the industry in October. Q3 represented our best performance in nine quarters. Panera’s Q3 comps outperformed the industry by 229 bps when measured against the Black Box all-industry composite, the largest differential we’ve seen in 2 years."

Shaich concluded, "Our initiatives to expand into several $1 billion-plus adjacent businesses, including catering, delivery and consumer-packaged goods, are also gaining traction. Despite the high level of pressure on our near-term earnings related to the startup and transition costs associated with our strategic initiatives, the progress we see gives us increased confidence in our strategic plan and its ability to drive expanded earnings growth well into the future."

During fiscal Q3 2015, the Company opened 10 new bakery-cafes and its franchisees opened 14 new bakery-cafes. As a result, there were 1,946 bakery-cafes open system-wide as of September 29, 2015.

Bufano continued, “Our leading sales indicators are gaining momentum and we continue to expect relatively improved earnings in the fourth quarter when compared to the first half of the year. We

expect this improvement while accelerating the rate of investment in the second half of the year, as we anticipate converting over 200 Panera 2.0 bakery-cafes in the third and fourth quarters combined. Indeed, we are converting almost 25% of our Company-owned bakery-cafes in six months, at a rate of more than one per day.”

Notes:

The Company will host a conference call that will be broadcast on the Internet at 8:30 A.M. Eastern Time on Wednesday, October 28, 2015 to discuss the fiscal Q3 2015 results, preliminary comparable net bakery-cafe sales results for the first 27 days of fiscal Q4 2015 and earnings targets and business outlook for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2015. To access the call or view a copy of this release, go to http://www.panerabread.com/investor. Access to the call will be made available for 14 days, and the release will be archived for one year.

The Company includes in this release information on Company-owned, franchise-operated, and system-wide comparable net bakery-cafe sales percentages. Company-owned comparable net bakery-cafe sales percentages are based on net sales from Company-owned bakery-cafes included in base store bakery-cafes. Franchise-operated comparable net bakery-cafe sales percentages are based on net sales from franchised bakery-cafes, as reported by franchisees, that are included in base store bakery-cafes. Acquired Company-owned and franchise-operated bakery-cafes and other restaurant or bakery-cafe concepts are included in the Company's comparable net bakery-cafe sales percentages after it has acquired a 100 percent ownership interest and if such acquisition occurred prior to the first day of the Company's prior fiscal year. Comparable net bakery-cafe sales exclude closed locations.

The Company does not record franchise-operated net bakery-cafe sales as revenues. However, royalty revenues are calculated based on a percentage of franchise-operated net bakery-cafe sales, as reported by franchisees. The Company uses franchise-operated and net system-wide sales information internally in connection with store development decisions, planning, and budgeting analyses. The Company believes franchise-operated and net system-wide sales information is useful in assessing consumer acceptance of its brand; facilitates an understanding of its 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, which its franchisees also contribute to based on a percentage of their net sales; and provides information that is relevant for comparison within the industry.

About Panera Bread Company

30 years ago, at a time when quick service meant low quality, Panera set out to challenge this expectation. We believed that food that was good and that you could feel good about, served in a warm and welcoming environment by people who cared, could bring out the best in all of us. To us, that is food as it should be and that is why we exist.

So we began with a simple commitment: to bake fresh bread from fresh dough in every bakery-cafe, every day. No artificial preservatives or short cuts, just bakers with simple ingredients and hot ovens. Each night, any unsold bread and baked goods were shared with neighbors in need.

These traditions carry on today, as we have continued to find ways to be an ally to our guests. That means crafting a menu of soups, salads and sandwiches that we are proud to feed our families. Like poultry and pork raised without antibiotics on our salads and sandwiches. A commitment to transparency and options that empower our guests to eat the way they want. Seasonal flavors and whole grains. And a commitment to removing artificial additives (flavors, colors, sweeteners and preservatives) from the food in our bakery-cafes. Why? Because we think that simpler is better and we believe in serving food as it should be. Because when you don’t have to compromise to eat well, all that is left is the joy of eating.

We’re also focused on improving quality and convenience. With investments in technology and operations, we now offer new ways to enjoy your Panera favorites - like mobile ordering and Rapid Pick-Up for to-go orders - all designed to make things easier for our guests. As of September 29, 2015, there were 1,946 bakery-cafes in 46 states and in Ontario, Canada operating under the Panera Bread^®, Saint Louis Bread Co.^® or Paradise Bakery & Cafe^® names.
