Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Chuy’s Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Chuy’s”) is in the business of developing and operating Chuy’s restaurants throughout the United States. Chuy’s is a fast-growing, full-service restaurant concept offering a distinct menu of authentic, freshly-prepared Mexican and Tex Mex inspired food. As of ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015, the Company operated 6365 restaurants in fourteen states.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), except that certain information and notes have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 2014, has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company operates on a 52- or 53- week fiscal year that ends on the last Sunday of the calendar year. Each quarterly period has 13 weeks, except for a 53-week year when the fourth quarter has 14 weeks. Our 2015 fiscal year will consist of 52 weeks and our 2014 fiscal year consisted of 52 weeks.

2.2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the ~~FASB~~Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of this ASU by one year to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (our 2018 fiscal year). Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (our 2017 fiscal year). The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The adoption of this standard update is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Debt Issuance Costs

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements from an asset on the balance sheet to a deduction from the related debt liability. Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 (our 2016 fiscal year). Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard update is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Software Licenses

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which provides guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. ASU 2015-05 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 (our 2016 fiscal year). Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

3. NET INCOME PER SHARE

The number of shares and net income per share data for all periods presented are based on the historical weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding.

Basic net income per share of the Company's common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.

Diluted net income per share of the Company's common stock is computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential shares of common stock equivalents outstanding during the period using the

Table of Contents

treasury stock method for dilutive options and deferred shares (these deferred shares were granted under the Chuy's Holdings, Inc. 2012 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan"), and are referred to as "restricted stock units"). For the thirteen weeks

~~Table of Contents~~

ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 and ~~June 29,~~September 28, 2014 there were approximately ~~47,000~~9,500 and ~~4,000~~24,000 shares, respectively, of common stock equivalents that were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the ~~twenty-six-week~~thirty-nine-week period ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 and ~~June 29,~~September 28, 2014, there were approximately ~~59,000~~39,000 and ~~3,000~~7,000 shares, respectively, of common stock equivalents that were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:

5. LONG-TERM DEBT

Revolving Credit Facility

On November 30, 2012, the Company entered into a secured $25 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, which replaced the Company's previous credit facility. As of ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015, the interest rate on our Revolving Credit Facility was ~~1.94%~~1.91%. The Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio, a lease adjusted leverage ratio and certain non-financial covenants. The Revolving Credit Facility also places certain restrictions on the payment of dividends and distributions. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, Chuy's may declare and make dividend payments so long as (i) no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom and (ii) immediately after giving effect to any such dividend payment, on a pro forma basis, the lease adjusted leverage ratio is at least .50 less than the ratio required to be maintained at such time.

The obligations under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets. As of ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 we had no borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, and the amount available for future borrowings was ~~$25.0~~$25 million.

On October 30, 2015, we entered into an amendment to our Revolving Credit Facility. For additional information, see Note 9 to the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included herein.

Overview

We are a fast-growing, full-service restaurant concept offering a distinct menu of authentic, freshly-prepared Mexican and Tex Mex inspired food. We were founded in Austin, Texas in 1982 and, as of ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015, we operated 6365 Chuy’s restaurants across fourteen states.

We are committed to providing value to our customers through offering generous portions of made-from-scratch, flavorful Mexican and Tex Mex inspired dishes. We also offer a full-service bar in all of our restaurants providing our customers a wide variety of beverage offerings. We believe the Chuy’s culture is one of our most valuable assets, and we are committed to preserving and continually investing in our culture and our customers’ restaurant experience.

Our restaurants have a common décor, but we believe each location is unique in format, offering an “unchained” look and feel, as expressed by our motto “If you’ve seen one Chuy’s, you’ve seen one Chuy’s!” We believe our restaurants have an upbeat, funky, eclectic, somewhat irreverent atmosphere, while still maintaining a family-friendly environment.

Our Growth Strategies and Outlook

Our growth is based primarily on the following strategies:

Pursue new restaurant development;

"Backfill" smaller existing markets to build brand awareness;

Deliver consistent same store sales through providing high-quality food and service; and

Leverage our infrastructure.

As of ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015, we opened ~~four~~six restaurants year-to-date and opened ~~one~~two additional restaurant subsequent to ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015. Over the next five years, we expect to grow our restaurant base by a compounded annualized growth rate of approximately 20%. We have an established presence in Texas, the Southeast and the Midwest, with restaurants in multiple large markets in these regions. Our growth plan over the next five years focuses on developing additional locations in our existing core markets and major markets while continuing to "backfill" our smaller existing markets in order to build our brand awareness.

Performance Indicators

We use the following performance indicators in evaluating our performance:

Number of Restaurant Openings. Number of restaurant openings reflects the number of restaurants opened during a particular fiscal period. For restaurant openings we incur pre-opening costs, which are defined below, before the restaurant opens. Typically new restaurants open with an initial start-up period of higher than normalized sales volumes, which decrease to a steady level approximately six to twelve months after opening. However, operating costs during this initial six to twelve month period are also higher than normal, resulting in restaurant operating margins that are generally lower during the start-up period of operation and increase to a steady level approximately nine to twelve months after opening.

Comparable Restaurant Sales. We consider a restaurant to be comparable in the first full quarter following the 18th month of operations. Changes in comparable restaurant sales reflect changes in sales for the comparable group of restaurants

Table of Contents

over a specified period of time. Changes in comparable sales reflect changes in customer count trends as well as changes in average check. Our comparable restaurant base consisted of 4648 and 3839 restaurants at ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 and ~~June 29,~~September 28, 2014, respectively.

Average Check. Average check is calculated by dividing revenue by total entrées sold for a given time period. Average check reflects menu price increases as well as changes in menu mix. Our management team uses this indicator to analyze trends in customers’ preferences, effectiveness of menu changes and price increases and per customer expenditures.

Average Weekly Customers. Average weekly customers is measured by the number of entrées sold per week. Our management team uses this metric to measure changes in customer traffic.

Average Unit Volume. Average unit volume consists of the average sales of our comparable restaurants over a certain period of time. This measure is calculated by dividing total comparable restaurant sales within a period of time by the total number of comparable restaurants within the relevant period. This indicator assists management in measuring changes in customer traffic, pricing and development of our brand.

Operating Margin. Operating margin represents income from operations as a percentage of our revenue. By monitoring and controlling our operating margins, we can gauge the overall profitability of our company.

The following table presents operating data for the periods indicated:


	Thirteen Weeks Ended						Twenty-Six Weeks Ended						Thirteen Weeks Ended						Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended

Our Fiscal Year

We operate on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Sunday of the calendar year. Each quarterly period has 13 weeks, except for a 53-week year when the fourth quarter has 14 weeks. Our 2014 fiscal year consisted of 52 weeks and our 2015 fiscal year will consist of 52 weeks.

Key Financial Definitions

Revenue. Revenue primarily consists of food and beverage sales and also includes sales of our t-shirts, sweatshirts and hats. Revenue is presented net of discounts associated with each sale. Revenue in a given period is directly influenced by the number of operating weeks in such period, the number of restaurants we operate and comparable restaurant sales growth.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales consists primarily of food, beverage and merchandise related costs. The components of cost of sales are variable in nature, change with sales volume and are subject to increases or decreases based on fluctuations in commodity costs.

Labor Costs. Labor costs include restaurant management salaries, ~~front- and~~front-and back-of-house hourly wages and restaurant-level manager bonus expense and payroll taxes.

Operating Costs. Operating costs consist primarily of restaurant-related operating expenses, such as supplies, utilities, repairs and maintenance, travel cost, insurance, employee benefits, credit card fees, recruiting, delivery service and security. These costs generally increase with sales volume but decline as a percentage of revenue.

Occupancy Costs. Occupancy costs include rent charges, both fixed and variable, as well as common area maintenance costs, property insurance and taxes, the amortization of tenant allowances and the adjustment to straight-line rent. These costs are generally fixed but a portion may vary with an increase in sales when the lease contains percentage rent.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses include costs associated with corporate and administrative functions that support our operations, including senior and supervisory management and staff compensation (including stock-based compensation) and benefits, travel, legal and professional fees, information systems, corporate office rent and other related corporate costs.

Marketing. Marketing costs include costs associated with our local restaurant marketing programs, community service and sponsorship activities, our menus and other promotional activities.

Table of Contents

Restaurant Pre-opening Costs. Restaurant pre-opening costs consist of costs incurred before opening a restaurant, including manager salaries, relocation costs, supplies, recruiting expenses, initial new market public relations costs, pre-opening activities, employee payroll and related training costs for new employees. Restaurant pre-opening costs also include rent recorded during the period between date of possession and the restaurant opening date.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization principally include depreciation on fixed assets, including equipment and leasehold improvements, and amortization of certain intangible assets for restaurants.

Interest Expense. Interest expense consists primarily of interest on our outstanding indebtedness and the amortization of our debt issuance costs reduced by capitalized interest.

Results of Operations

Potential Fluctuations in Quarterly Results and Seasonality

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including the timing of new restaurant openings and related expenses, profitability of new restaurants, weather, increases or decreases in comparable restaurant sales, general economic conditions, consumer confidence in the economy, changes in consumer preferences, competitive factors, changes in food costs, changes in labor costs and rising gas prices. In the past, we have experienced significant variability in restaurant pre-opening costs from quarter to quarter primarily due to the timing of restaurant openings. We typically incur restaurant pre-opening costs in the five months preceding a new restaurant opening. In addition, our experience to date has been that labor and direct operating costs associated with a newly opened restaurant during the first several months of operation are often materially greater than what will be expected after that time, both in aggregate dollars and as a percentage of restaurant sales. Accordingly, the number and timing of new restaurant openings in any quarter has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant impact on quarterly restaurant pre-opening costs, labor and direct operating costs.

Our business also is subject to fluctuations due to seasonality and adverse weather. The spring and summer months have traditionally had higher sales volume than other periods of the year. Holidays, severe winter weather, hurricanes, thunderstorms and similar conditions may impact restaurant unit volumes in some of the markets where we operate and may have a greater impact should they occur during our higher volume months. As a result of these and other factors, our financial results for any given quarter may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.

Revenue. Revenue increased ~~$12.1~~$9.8 million, or ~~19.1%~~15.3%, to ~~$75.4~~$73.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 from ~~$63.3~~$64.1 million for the comparable period in 2014. This increase was primarily driven by ~~$11.0~~$9.0 million in incremental revenue from an additional ~~133~~102 operating weeks provided by 1211 new restaurants opened during and subsequent to the thirteen weeks ended ~~June 29,~~September 28, 2014 and increased revenue at our comparable restaurants. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue

Table of Contents

related to our non-comparable restaurants that are not included in the incremental revenue discussed above. Revenue for these non-comparable restaurants is historically lower as the stores transition out of the 'honeymoon' period that follows a restaurant's initial opening.

Comparable restaurant sales increased ~~3.2%~~4.2% for the thirteen weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 compared to the thirteen weeks ended ~~June 29,~~September 28, 2014. The increase in comparable restaurant sales was driven primarily by a ~~3.9%~~4.4% increase in average check, offset by a ~~0.7%~~0.2% decrease in average weekly customers. Our revenue mix attributed to bar sales was ~~19.0%~~18.3% during the thirteen weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 compared to ~~19.3%~~17.9% during the comparable period in 2014.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased to ~~26.3%~~26.6% during the thirteen weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 from ~~28.4%~~28.2% during the comparable period in 2014. This decrease is the result of ~~a combination of last year's inflationary spike~~decreases in grocery, dairy and ~~produce (primarily lime costs) which has now decreased to more normal levels, decreases in~~ chicken ~~and groceries~~costs, partially offset by increases in beef and ~~the benefit from recent menu price increases taken in September 2014 and February 2015.~~produce costs.

Labor Costs. Labor costs as a percentage of revenue decreased to 32.0% during the thirteen weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 from ~~32.9%~~33.9% during the comparable period in 2014, primarily as a result of efficiencies gained from internal initiatives, including labor scheduling best practices and manager staffing based on ~~volume.~~volume as well as leverage from increased sales. The implementation of these initiatives started during the first quarter of 2015.

Operating Costs. Operating costs as a percentage of revenue decreased to ~~13.5%~~13.8% during the thirteen weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 from ~~13.6%~~14.0% during the comparable period in 2014, primarily ~~as a~~the result of a decrease in ~~liquor taxes~~workers compensation and other general and employee related insurance costs of 1020 basis points, ~~and~~ a decrease in travel ~~related expenses~~costs of 2010 basis points partially offset by an increase in insurance costs of 20 basis ~~points~~ related to certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act which went into effect in the first quarter of 2015.

Occupancy Costs. Occupancy costs as a percentage of revenue increased to 6.5% during the thirteen weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 from ~~6.0%~~5.9% during the comparable period in 2014, primarily as a result of higher rental expense and property taxes at certain of our newly opened restaurants as we continue our expansion into larger markets in the East and Northeast.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased ~~$1.4~~$1.2 million, or ~~46.3%~~41.6%, to ~~$4.3~~$4.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 from $2.9 million during the comparable period in 2014. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in performance based bonuses of $0.8 million, an increase in stock-based compensation of ~~$0.3~~$0.1 million associated with new grants under our long-term incentive program, an increase in salary expense of $0.2 million related to additional employees as we continue to strengthen our infrastructure for growth ~~an increase in performance-based bonuses of $0.6 million~~ and smaller increases in other categories ~~including legal and professional fees,~~ related to growth of ~~$0.3~~$0.1 million.

Marketing Costs. As a percentage of revenue marketing costs remained relatively constant at 0.8% during the thirteen weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 compared to 0.7% during the same period in 2014.

Restaurant Pre-opening Costs. Restaurant pre-opening costs decreased ~~$0.6~~$0.2 million to ~~$0.7~~$1.1 million during the thirteen weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 compared to $1.3 million during the same period in 2014. This decrease is primarily the result of differences in the timing of our development schedule. The current year development schedule is backloaded with more openings scheduled in the ~~third and~~ fourth ~~quarters~~quarter compared to 2014. We opened ~~one~~two new ~~restaurant~~restaurants during the thirteen weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 compared to ~~three~~four restaurants opened during the same period in 2014.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization costs increased ~~$0.8~~$0.6 million to $3.2 million during the thirteen weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 from ~~$2.4~~$2.7 million during the comparable period in 2014, primarily as the result of an increase in equipment and leasehold improvement costs associated with our new restaurants.

Interest Expense. Interest expense as a percentage of revenue remained flat at less than 0.1%. ~~Our interest rate on~~There were no borrowings outstanding ~~borrowings~~ as of ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 ~~was 1.94% compared to 1.91% as of June 29, 2014.~~or during the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2015.

Income Tax Expense. ~~For~~Due to higher pre-tax income levels and the utilization of the Company’s remaining federal net operating loss carryforwards in the first half of 2015, the Company's federal statutory tax rate increased from 34% to 35% in the third quarter of 2015 and began paying federal tax obligations from operating cash flows. This increase in tax rate along with lower employment tax credits on employee tips as a percentage of pretax income increased the Company’s effective tax rate to 38.3% for the thirteen weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 ~~our effective~~compared to 26.3% during the same period in 2014. As a result of this increase in federal statutory tax rate ~~decreased to 29.0% from 29.9%~~ during the ~~comparable period in 2014.~~thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2015, we recorded a discrete tax item of approximately $0.4 million to increase our net deferred tax liabilities. The effective income tax rate for 2015 excluding this discrete item is estimated to be between 29% and 31%. The effective tax rates differ from the statutory ~~rate~~tax rates of ~~35.0%~~35% and 34% for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2015 and September 28, 2014, respectively primarily due to normal recurring tax credits attributable to employment taxes paid on employee ~~tips. The effective~~tips and the above discrete item related to the change in the federal statutory tax rate ~~for 2015 is lower than~~during the ~~effective tax rate for 2014 as a result of higher employment tax credits on employee tips as a percent of pretax income.~~thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2015.

Net Income. As a result of the foregoing, net income increased ~~55.9%~~31.0% to ~~$5.4~~$4.1 million during the thirteen weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 from ~~$3.4~~$3.1 million during the comparable period in 2014.

Revenue. Revenue increased ~~$23.0~~$32.8 million, or ~~19.3%~~17.9%, to ~~$142.2~~$216.1 million for the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 from ~~$119.2~~$183.3 million for the comparable period in 2014. This increase was primarily driven by ~~$21.5~~$30.5 million in incremental revenue from an additional ~~275~~377 operating weeks provided by 1517 new restaurants opened during and subsequent to the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 29,~~September 28, 2014 and increased revenue at our comparable restaurants. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue related to our non-comparable restaurants that are not included in the incremental revenue discussed above. Revenue for these non-comparable restaurants is historically lower as the stores transition out of the 'honeymoon' period that follows a restaurant's initial opening.

Comparable restaurant sales increased ~~2.6%~~3.1% for the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 compared to the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 29,~~September 28, 2014. The increase in comparable restaurant sales was driven primarily by a ~~3.6%~~3.9% increase in average check, offset by a ~~1.0%~~0.8% decrease in average weekly customers. The decrease in average weekly customers is primarily attributable to higher than normal inclement weather days throughout the Southeast and Texas during the first quarter of 2015 which had an approximate $1.1 million impact on comparable sales. Our revenue mix attributed to bar sales was 18.5% during both the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June~~September 27, 2015 and September 28, ~~2015 compared to 18.9% during the comparable period in~~ 2014.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased to ~~26.3%~~26.4% during the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 from ~~28.1%~~28.2% during the comparable period in 2014. This decrease is the result of a combination of last year's inflationary spike in dairy and produce costs (primarily lime costs) which has now decreased to more normal levels as well as other decreases in ~~groceries~~grocery and chicken ~~offset by increases in beef~~costs and the benefit from ~~recent~~ menu price increases taken in September 2014 and February ~~2015.~~2015, partially offset by increases in beef costs.

Labor Costs. Labor costs as a percentage of revenue decreased to ~~32.5%~~32.4% during the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 from ~~33.1%~~33.4% during the comparable period in 2014, primarily as a result of efficiencies gained from internal initiatives, including labor scheduling best practices and manager staffing based on ~~volume.~~volume as well as leverage from increased sales. The implementation of these initiatives started during the first quarter of 2015.

Operating Costs. Operating costs as a percentage of revenue increased to ~~13.7%~~13.8% during the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 from ~~13.5%~~13.7% during the comparable period in 2014, primarily as a result of an increase in insurance costs of 2030 basis points primarily related to certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act which went into effect in the first quarter of 2015 ~~and increases in other insurance costs of 20 basis points,~~ partially offset by a decrease in liquor taxes of 10 basis points and a decrease in travel related expenses of 10 basis points.

Occupancy Costs. Occupancy costs as a percentage of revenue increased to ~~6.6%~~6.5% during the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 from ~~6.2%~~6.1% during the comparable period in 2014, primarily as a result of higher rental expense and property taxes at certain of our newly opened restaurants as we continue our expansion into larger markets in the East and Northeast.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased ~~$2.5~~$3.7 million, or ~~43.0%~~42.5%, to ~~$8.4~~$12.5 million for the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 from ~~$5.9~~$8.7 million during the comparable period in 2014. This increase was ~~primarily~~

Table of Contents

primarily driven by an increase in stock-based compensation of ~~$0.4~~$0.5 million associated with new grants under our long-term incentive program, an increase in salary expense of ~~$0.5~~$0.7 million related to additional employees as we continue to strengthen our infrastructure for growth, an increase in performance-based bonuses of ~~$1.0~~$1.7 million, ~~and smaller increases in other categories, including~~ legal and professional fees related to growth of ~~$0.6~~$0.3 million and smaller increases in other categories of $0.5 million.

Marketing Costs. As a percentage of revenue marketing costs remained relatively constant at 0.8% during the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 compared to 0.7% during the same period in 2014.

Restaurant Pre-opening Costs. Restaurant pre-opening costs decreased ~~$0.7~~$0.9 million to ~~$1.8~~$2.9 million during the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 compared to ~~$2.5~~$3.7 million during the same period in 2014. This decrease is primarily the result of differences in the timing of our development schedule. The current year development schedule is backloaded with more openings scheduled in the ~~third and~~ fourth ~~quarters~~quarter compared to 2014. We opened ~~four~~six new restaurants during the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 compared to ~~six~~ten restaurants opened during the same period in 2014.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization costs increased ~~$1.4~~$2.0 million to ~~$6.2~~$9.4 million during the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 from ~~$4.8~~$7.4 million during the comparable period in 2014, primarily as the result of an increase in equipment and leasehold improvement costs associated with our new restaurants.

Interest Expense. Interest expense as a percentage of revenue remained flat at less than 0.1%. ~~Our interest rate on~~There were no borrowings outstanding ~~borrowings~~ as of ~~June 28, 2015 was 1.94% compared to 1.91% as of June 29, 2014.~~September 27, 2015.

Income Tax Expense. ~~For~~Due to higher pre-tax income levels and the ~~twenty-six weeks ended June 28,~~utilization of the Company’s remaining federal net operating loss carryforwards in the first half of 2015, ~~our~~the Company's federal statutory tax rate increased from 34% to 35% in the third quarter of 2015 and began paying federal tax obligations from operating cash flows. This increase in tax rate along with lower employment tax credits on employee tips as a percentage of pre-tax income increased the Company’s effective tax rate ~~decreased~~ to ~~29.0% from 29.9%~~32.3% for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2015 compared to 28.8% during the ~~comparable~~same period in 2014. As a result of this increase in federal statutory tax rate during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2015, we recorded a discrete tax item of approximately $0.4 million to increase our net deferred tax liabilities. The effective income tax rate for 2015 excluding this discrete item is estimated to be between 29% and 31%. The effective tax rates differ from the statutory ~~rate~~tax rates of ~~35.0%~~35% and 34% for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2015 and September 28, 2014, respectively primarily due to normal recurring tax credits attributable to employment taxes paid on employee ~~tips. The effective~~tips and the above discrete item related to the change in the federal statutory tax rate ~~for 2015 is lower than~~during the ~~effective tax rate for 2014 as a result of higher employment tax credits on employee tips as a percent of pretax income.~~thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2015.

Net Income. As a result of the foregoing, net income increased ~~41.6%~~38.0% to ~~$8.6~~$12.7 million during the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 from ~~$6.1~~$9.2 million during the comparable period in 2014.

Liquidity

Our principal sources of cash are net cash provided by operating activities, which includes tenant improvement allowances from our landlords, and borrowings under our $25 million credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility")~~, which we entered into on November 30, 2012.~~. Our need for capital resources is driven by our restaurant expansion plans, ongoing maintenance of our restaurants, investment in our corporate and information technology infrastructure, obligations under our operating leases and interest payments on our debt. Based on our current growth plans, we believe our expected cash flows from operations, expected tenant improvement allowances and available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to finance our planned capital expenditures and other operating activities for at least the next twelve months.

Consistent with many other restaurant and retail chain store operations, we use operating lease arrangements for our restaurants. We believe that these operating lease arrangements provide appropriate leverage of our capital structure in a financially efficient manner.

Our liquidity may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including a decrease in customer traffic or average check per customer due to changes in economic conditions.

Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	7,634		$	4,439		$	10,598		$	3,493

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased ~~$8.8~~$12.6 million to ~~$23.2~~$33.8 million for the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015, from ~~$14.4~~$21.2 million during the comparable period in 2014. Our business is almost exclusively a cash business.

~~Table of Contents~~

Almost all of our receipts come in the form of cash and cash equivalents and a large majority of our expenditures are paid within a 30 day period. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities during the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 from the comparable period in 2014 was primarily due to an increase in net income of ~~$2.5~~$3.5 million; net increases in non-cash reconciling items of ~~$2.4~~$3.7 million primarily related to increases in depreciation and amortization as a result of our continued expansion, increases in stock-based compensation associated with new grants under our long-term incentive program, an increase in ~~deferred taxes and a decrease in~~ excess tax benefit from stock-based ~~compensation.~~compensation partially offset by a combination of a decrease in deferred income taxes and an increase in amortization of deferred lease incentives. This increase also included net increases from changes in operating assets and liabilities of ~~$3.9~~$5.3 million primarily related to increases in accrued liabilities and deferred ~~rent, prepaid expenses and other current assets and deferred~~ lease incentives due to timing differences.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased ~~$7.0~~$8.2 million to ~~$10.7~~$18.4 million for the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015, from ~~$17.7~~$26.7 million for the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended 2014. This decrease ~~was the result of~~resulted from the timing of our construction schedule and the related construction payments associated with the construction of our ~~four~~six new restaurants that opened during the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015, as well as expenditures related to ~~five~~four additional unopened restaurants currently under construction as compared to ~~six~~ten new restaurants opened and five additional restaurants under construction during the comparable period in 2014.

Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $8.6 million for the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 compared to ~~$2.3~~$3.6 million provided by financing activities during the comparable period in 2014. This ~~decrease~~increase in net cash used was primarily the result of $8.8 million in net payments on the Revolving Credit facility (net of borrowings of $1.0 million) during the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015, compared to net borrowings of ~~$2.0~~$2.8 million (net of payments of $1.5 million) during the comparable period in 2014. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options decreased by $0.2 million to $0.1 million during the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 from $0.3 million during the comparable period in 2014. During the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 we also incurred $0.1 million related to the indirect repurchase of shares for minimum tax withholdings. In addition, during the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015 we recognized ~~$0.5~~$0.4 million less in excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation compared to the same period in 2014 as a result of a decrease in option exercises during the current period.

As of ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015, we had no financing transactions, arrangements or other relationships with any unconsolidated affiliates or related parties. Additionally, we had no financing arrangements involving synthetic leases or trading activities involving commodity contracts.

Capital Resources

Long-Term Capital Requirements

Our capital requirements are primarily dependent upon the pace of our growth plan and resulting new restaurants. Our growth plan is dependent upon many factors, including economic conditions, real estate markets, restaurant locations and the nature of our lease agreements. Our capital expenditure outlays are also dependent on costs for maintenance and capacity additions in our existing restaurants as well as information technology and other general corporate capital expenditures.

The capital resources required for a new restaurant depend on whether the restaurant is a ground-up construction or a conversion. We estimate that each ground-up restaurant will require a total cash investment of $1.6 million to $2.4 million (net of estimated tenant improvement allowances of between zero and $1.0 million). We estimate that each conversion will require a total cash

Table of Contents

investment of $2.0 million to $2.2 million. In addition to the cost of the conversion or ground-up buildout, we expect to spend approximately $375,000 to $425,000 per restaurant for restaurant pre-opening costs. We target a cash-on-cash return beginning in the third operating year of 30.0%, and a sales to investment ratio of 1.9:1 for our new restaurants.

For 2015, we currently estimate capital expenditure outlays will ~~range between $27.5 million and $30.0~~be approximately $27.0 million, net of agreed upon tenant improvement allowances and excluding approximately $4.7 million of restaurant pre-opening costs for new restaurants that are not capitalized. We spent ~~$1.8~~$2.9 million on pre-opening costs during the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine weeks ended ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015. These capital expenditure estimates are based on average new restaurant capital expenditures of $2.4 million in 2015 (net of estimated tenant improvement allowances) each for the opening of 10 ~~to 11~~ new restaurants as well as $3.5 million to maintain and remodel our existing restaurants and for general corporate purposes.

Based on our growth plans, we believe our combined expected cash flows from operations, available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and expected tenant improvement allowances will be sufficient to finance our planned capital expenditures and other operating activities in fiscal 2015.

Short-Term Capital Requirements

Our operations have not required significant working capital and, like many restaurant companies, we operate with negative working capital. Restaurant sales are primarily paid for in cash or by credit card, and restaurant operations do not require significant inventories or receivables. In addition, we receive trade credit for the purchase of food, beverages and supplies, therefore reducing the need for incremental working capital to support growth. We had a net working capital deficit of ~~$6.7~~$4.6 million at ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015, compared to a net working capital deficit of $5.1 million at December 28, 2014.

Revolving Credit Facility

On November 30, 2012, the Company entered into a $25.0 million Revolving Credit Facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, which replaced the company's previous credit facility. As of ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015, we had no borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, and the amount available for future borrowings was $25.0 million. The Revolving Credit Facility (a) ~~will mature on November 30, 2017, unless the Company exercises its option to voluntarily reduce all of the commitment before the maturity date, (b)~~ accrues commitment fees on the daily unused balance of the facility at an applicable margin, which varies based on the Company's consolidated total lease adjusted leverage ratio and ~~(c)~~(b) provides for letters of credit in amounts totaling the lesser of $5 million or the available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate based upon the Company’s election, of ~~(i)~~(a) the base rate (which is the highest of the prime rate, federal funds rate plus 0.50% or one month LIBOR) plus 1%, or ~~(ii)~~(b) LIBOR, plus, in either case, an applicable margin based on the Company’s consolidated total lease adjusted leverage ratio. Interest is due at the end of each quarter if the Company selects to pay interest based on the base rate and at the end of each LIBOR period if it selects to pay interest based on LIBOR. The Company has elected a variable rate of interest based on LIBOR. As of ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015, this interest rate was ~~1.94%~~1.91%. The Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio, a lease adjusted leverage ratio and certain non-financial covenants. As of ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility. ~~Based on our capital expenditure plans, contractual commitments and cash flow from operations, we expect to be able to comply with these covenants during the term of the agreement.~~

The obligations under the Company’s long-term debt are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets.

Based on our capital expenditure plans, contractual commitments and cash flow from operations, we expect to be able to comply with the covenants of the Revolving Credit Facility as amended by the Amendment during the term of the agreement.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from what was previously reported in our Annual Report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015, we had no off balance sheet arrangements or transactions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our long-term indebtedness. Our principal interest rate exposure relates to loans outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility. All outstanding indebtedness under our Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR. Each quarter point change in interest rates on the variable portion of indebtedness under our Revolving Credit Facility would result in an annualized change to our interest expense of approximately $2,500 per every million dollars borrowed. As of ~~June 28,~~September 27, 2015, we had no borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to market price fluctuation in food product prices. Given the historical volatility of certain of our food product prices, including produce, chicken, beef and dairy, these fluctuations can materially impact our food and beverage costs. While we have taken steps to enter into long term agreements for some of the commodities used in our restaurant operations, there can be no assurance that future supplies and costs for such commodities will not fluctuate due to weather, government regulations and other conditions outside of our control.

Consequently, such commodities can be subject to unforeseen supply and cost fluctuations. Because we typically set our menu prices in advance of our food product prices, we cannot immediately take into account changing costs of food items. To the extent that we are unable to pass the increased costs on to our customers through price increases, our results of operations would be adversely affected. We currently do not use financial instruments to hedge our risk to market price fluctuations in our food product ~~prices at this time.~~prices.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

The design of any system of control is based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all future events, no matter how remote, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may not deteriorate. Because of its inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
