Third Fiscal Quarter 2015 Financial Review
System-wide comparable restaurant sales increased 4.1%, consisting of both company-operated and franchised comparable restaurant sales growth of 4.1%. Comparable restaurant sales growth at company-operated restaurants was composed of increases in price and mix.
Total revenues increased 12.7% to $124.3 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2015 from $110.3 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to an additional net 46 system-wide restaurants at September 27, 2015 compared to September 28, 2014, and comparable restaurant sales growth at our company-operated and franchised restaurants.
Company restaurant revenues increased 12.8% to $117.5 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2015 from $104.2 million in the prior year quarter. Franchise royalty revenues increased 10.7% to $6.4 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2015 from $5.8 million in the prior year quarter.
Restaurant contribution, a non-GAAP measure, increased 17.5% to $21.9 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2015 from $18.7 million in the prior year quarter. As a percentage of company restaurant revenues, restaurant contribution margin, a non-GAAP measure, increased to 18.7% in the third fiscal quarter of 2015 from 17.9% in the prior year quarter.
General and administrative expenses increased $2.1 million to $10.1 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2015 from $7.9 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was due primarily to additional positions added to support an increased number of restaurants in our system, additional costs as a result of operating as a public company, $0.2 million in legal and other expenses incurred in connection with the transition to a new distributor and a $0.5 million accrual pursuant to an employment agreement.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 20.0% to $20.5 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2015 from $17.1 million in the prior year quarter.
Net Income was $8.9 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2015 compared to $7.0 million in the prior year quarter.
Pro Forma Net Income was $8.5 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2015 compared to $5.7 million in the prior year quarter. Pro Forma Diluted Net Income per Share was $0.23 in the third fiscal quarter of 2015 compared to $0.15 in the prior year quarter.

Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Measures
We utilize certain non-GAAP measures when assessing the operational strength and the performance of our business. Bojangles’ cautions that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, reported GAAP results.
Comparable restaurant sales reflects the change in year-over-year sales for the comparable restaurant base (as applicable, system-wide, franchised or company-operated restaurants). A restaurant enters our comparable restaurant base the first full day of the month after being open for 15 months using a mid-month convention.
Restaurant contribution is defined as company restaurant revenues less food and supplies costs, restaurant labor costs and operating costs. Restaurant contribution margin is defined as restaurant contribution as a percentage of company restaurant revenues. Restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin are supplemental measures of operating performance of our company-operated restaurants and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to those reported by other companies. Restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
Pro Forma Net Income represents company net income before items that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance, as well as an estimate of recurring incremental legal, accounting, insurance and other operating and compliance costs we expect to incur as a public

company for those periods where they had not yet been incurred, both as identified in the reconciliation table below. Pro Forma Diluted Net Income per Share represents company diluted net income per share before items that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance, as well as an estimate of recurring incremental legal, accounting, insurance and other operating and compliance costs we expect to incur as a public company for those periods where they had not yet been incurred, both as identified in the reconciliation table below.
EBITDA represents company net income before interest expense (net of interest income), provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents company net income before interest expense (net of interest income), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, items that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance and certain non-cash items, as identified in the reconciliation table below.
Pro Forma Net Income, Pro Forma Diluted Net Income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of our performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. Pro Forma Net Income, Pro Forma Diluted Net Income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. In addition, in evaluating Pro Forma Net Income, Pro Forma Diluted Net Income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses or charges such as those added back to calculate Pro Forma Net Income, Pro Forma Diluted Net Income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
