Dave & Buster’s, Inc. Reports Record Quarterly
Adjusted EBITDA of $39.7 Million
DALLAS—June 12, 2012—Dave & Buster's, Inc., a leading operator of high volume entertainment/dining complexes, today announced results for its first quarter ended April 29, 2012.
Total revenues increased 10% to $163.5 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared to $148.6 million in the first quarter of 2011. The year-over-year revenue increase was primarily driven by a $16.1 million increase in revenues from non-comparable stores. Revenues at our comparable stores were essentially flat compared to the first quarter of 2011. Across all stores, Food and Beverage revenues increased $4.9 million or 6.6% and Amusements and Other revenues increased $10 million or 13.4% compared to the first quarter of 2011.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 18.0% to $39.7 million in the first quarter of 2012 versus $33.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
“We achieved record Adjusted EBITDA results, primarily fueled by the stores we opened in 2011 and early 2012,” said Steve King CEO of Dave & Buster's. “While the exceptionally mild winter across the country hurt our comparable store sales, our margin enhancing initiatives enabled us to deliver exceptional results.”

NOTE
(1) The store count as of May 1, 2011, includes a store in Dallas, Texas, which was permanently closed on May 2, 2011.
(2) EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net income (loss) before income tax provision (benefit), interest expense (net) and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, is defined as EBITDA plus (gain) loss on asset disposal, share-based compensation expense, pre-opening costs, reimbursement of affiliate expenses, and other non-cash or non-recurring charges. The company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (collectively, “EBITDA – Based Measures”) provide useful information to debt holders regarding the Company’s operating performance and its capacity to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. The Company believes that the EBITDA – Based Measures are used by many investors, analysts and rating agencies as a measure of performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is approximately equal to “Consolidated EBITDA” as defined in our senior secured credit facility and indentures relating to the Company’s senior notes. Neither of the EBITDA – Based Measures is defined by GAAP and neither should be considered in isolation or as an alternative to other financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as defined in this release may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
