Second Quarter & Year-to-Date 2013 Financial Results

Company Updates 2013 Outlook

Columbus, Ohio – July 30, 2013 - Bravo Brio Restaurant Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: BBRG) (the Company) owner and operator of the BRAVO! Cucina Italiana (BRAVO!) and BRIO Tuscan Grille (BRIO) restaurant concepts, today reported financial results for the 13 and 26 week periods ended June 30, 2013. The Company also updated its 2013 outlook.

Selected Second Quarter 2013 Highlights Compared to the Second Quarter 2012:

• Revenues increased 2.7% to $105.6 million from $102.8 million.

• Total comparable restaurant sales decreased 3.0%.

• Comparable restaurant sales decreased 1.6% at BRAVO! and 4.0% at BRIO.

• Restaurant-level operating profit decreased 3.4% to $17.9 million from $18.6 million.

• Net income was $4.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.1 million, or $0.25 per diluted share.

Selected Year-to-Date 2013 Highlights Compared to the Year-Ago Period:

• Revenues increased 3.7% to $208.7 million from $201.2 million.

• Total comparable restaurant revenues decreased 2.7%.

• Comparable restaurant sales decreased 1.6% at BRAVO! and 3.6% at BRIO.

• Restaurant-level operating profit decreased 3.6% to $34.5 million from $35.8 million.

• Net income was $8.0 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.9 million, or $0.43 per diluted share.

Saed Mohseni, Chief Executive Officer and President, said, “Our financial results for the second quarter did not meet our expectations for revenues or diluted EPS. Comparable sales proved to be lower than we had anticipated due to a number of factors, including a decline in guest counts, limited use of our outdoor terraces, and a menu-mix driven decrease in BRIO’s average check related to ourLighter Side of Tuscany menu. The success of our ‘light’ menu, which has substantially exceeded our expectations, has positioned us well for the long-term as it responds to our guests’ increasing desire for healthier dining options. Based on our performance year-to-date, we have revisited some of our key assumptions for full year guidance and have adjusted our projections accordingly.”

Mohseni continued, “We will be developing eight new restaurants in 2013 and through the first half of the year have already opened three locations. While more recently our expansion has been skewed towards BRIO, the real estate projects currently being developed for 2014 and thereafter will enable us to add more BRAVO!s to our portfolio, and we look forward to growing in markets such as Florida, California, and the Northeast.”

Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results

Revenues increased $2.8 million, or 2.7%, to $105.6 million in the second quarter of 2013, from $102.8 million in the second quarter of 2012. The increase in revenues was primarily due to an additional 71 operating weeks provided by three new restaurants opened in the first half of 2013 and six new restaurants opened in the last thirty-nine weeks of 2012. Total comparable restaurant sales decreased 3.0%, attributed to a 2.1% decrease in guest counts and a 0.9% decrease in average check.

Total restaurant operating costs, which includes costs of sales, labor costs, operating costs and occupancy costs, increased $3.5 million, or 4.1%, to $87.7 million in the second quarter of 2013, from $84.2 million in the second quarter of 2012. Total restaurant-level operating profit decreased $0.7 million, or 3.4%, to $17.9 million from $18.6 million in the same period last year. As a percentage of revenues, total restaurant-level operating profit decreased to 17.0% in the second quarter of 2013 from 18.1% in the second quarter of 2012, which was primarily attributable to the deleveraging resulting from the comparable sales decrease in 2013 as compared to 2012.

Net income in the second quarter of 2013 was $4.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.1 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the same period last year.

Second Quarter 2013 Brand Operating Highlights

Comparable restaurant sales at BRAVO! decreased 1.6% and average weekly sales were $68,000. Comparable restaurant sales at BRIO decreased 4.0% and average weekly sales were $94,200.
