Part I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued) Item 1. Financial Statements (continued). LUBY'S CAFETERIAS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 28, 1998 (UNAUDITED) Note 1: The accompanying unaudited financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, consequently, do not include all of the disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles. All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in Luby's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 1997. The accounting policies used in preparing these consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in Luby's annual report on Form 10-K. Note 2: During the quarter ended February 28, 1998, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Statement 128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. Earnings per share amounts for all periods have been restated to conform to the requirements of Statement 128. Part I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Liquidity and Capital Resources _______________________________ Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $2,700,000 from the end of the preceding fiscal year to February 28, 1998. All capital expenditures for fiscal 1998 are being funded from cash flows from operations, cash equivalents, and long-term debt. Capital expenditures for the six months ended February 28, 1998, were $11,847,000. As of February 28, 1998, the company owned four undeveloped land sites and one Water Street joint venture restaurant was under construction. During fiscal year 1997 the company purchased 897,500 shares of its common stock at a cost of $19,918,000, which are being held as treasury stock. To complete the treasury stock purchases and fund capital expenditures, the company required external financing and borrowed funds under a $125,000,000 line-of-credit agreement. As of February 28, 1998, the amount outstanding under this line of credit was $86,000,000. The company believes that additional financing from external sources can be obtained on terms acceptable to the company in the event such financing is required. Results of Operations _____________________ Quarter ended February 28, 1998 compared to the quarter ended February 28, 1997. ______________________________________________________________________________ Sales increased $4,374,000, or 3.7%, due to the addition of five new cafeterias in fiscal 1998 and 27 in fiscal 1997, and due to a slight increase in average sales volume at cafeterias opened over one year. This increase was partially offset by the closing of five units, two in August 1997, two in September 1997, and one in January 1998. Cost of food increased $2,235,000, or 7.8%, due primarily to the increase in sales. As a percentage of sales, food costs were higher versus the prior year due to higher commodity prices resulting from poor weather conditions. Payroll and related costs increased $2,134,000, or 6.1%, due primarily to the increase in sales and the higher federal minimum wage which increased first on October 1, 1996, and again on September 1, 1997. Occupancy and other operating expenses increased $1,542,000, or 4.2%, due primarily to the increase in sales. This increase was partially offset by lower preopening expenses due to fewer new store openings as compared to the prior year. General and administrative expenses decreased $385,000, or 6.9%, due primarily to a lower profit sharing contribution estimated for fiscal 1998 as compared to the estimate of the contribution for the same period in the prior year. The decline was partially offset by higher legal and professional fees associated with the company's strategic planning project. Interest expense increased $304,000 due to higher average borrowings under the line-of-credit agreement and lower capitalized interest on qualifying properties as a result of less construction in the current period. The provision for income taxes decreased $224,000, or 5.5%, due primarily to lower income from operations. The effective income tax rate increased from 32.6% to 35.6% since the rate in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 was significantly impacted by the company's restructuring into a holding company. Six months ended February 28, 1998 compared to the six months ended February 28, 1997. ______________________________________________________________________________ Sales increased $6,759,000, or 2.8%, due primarily to the addition of five new cafeterias in fiscal 1998 and 27 in fiscal 1997. The sales increase from new cafeterias was partially offset by a decrease in sales volume at cafeterias opened over one year and the closing of five units, two in August 1997, two in September 1997, and one in January 1998. Cost of food increased $3,703,000, or 6.3%, due primarily to the increase in sales. As a percentage of sales, food costs were higher versus the prior year due to higher commodity prices resulting from poor weather conditions and product promotions featured during the period which had slightly higher food costs. Payroll and related costs increased $5,433,000, or 7.6%, due primarily to the increase in sales and the higher federal minimum wage which increased first on October 1, 1996, and again on September 1, 1997. Occupancy and other operating expenses increased $2,644,000, or 3.6%, due primarily to the increase in sales. With the decline in same-store sales for the six months ended February 28, 1998`, certain fixed expenses in this category have increased as a percentage of sales, including depreciation, property taxes, utilities, and repairs. These increases were partially offset by lower preopening expenses due to fewer store openings as compared to the prior period. In addition, managers' salaries, which are based on the profitability of the cafeterias, decreased as a percent of sales due to lower store profits. General and administrative expenses decreased $674,000, or 6.0%, due primarily to a lower profit sharing contribution estimated for fiscal 1998 as compared to the estimate of the contribution for the same period in the prior year. Interest expense increased $917,000 due to higher average borrowings under the line-of-credit agreement and lower capitalized interest on qualifying properties as a result of less construction in the current period. The provision for income taxes decreased $1,693,000, or 18.9%, due primarily to lower income from operations. The effective income tax rate increased from 35.1% to 35.6%. The Year 2000 _____________ Some of the company's older computer programs were written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. As a result, those computer programs have time-sensitive software that recognizes a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could cause a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, code invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities. The company has assessed the issue and will modify or replace its software so that its computer systems function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter. The company does not expect that the year 2000 issue will materially affect future financial results. Forward-Looking Statements __________________________ The company wishes to caution readers that various factors could cause the actual results of the company to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements made from time to time in news releases, reports, proxy statements, registration statements, and other written communications (including the preceding sections of this Management's Discussion and Analysis), as well as oral statements made from time to time by representatives of the company. Except for historical information, matters discussed in such oral and written communications are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to general business conditions, the impact of competition, the success of operating initiatives, changes in the cost and supply of food and labor, the seasonality of the company's business, taxes, inflation, and governmental regulations.
