Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Restaurant Progression Three Months Ended March 30, March 31, 1997 1996 --------- --------- Company - owned: - ---------------- Beginning of period 303 217 Opened 22 13 Closed - (1) Acquired - 1 ----- ----- End of Period 325 230 ===== ===== Franchised: - ----------- Beginning of period 857 661 Opened 68 43 Closed - (1) Sold to Company - (1) ----- ----- End of Period 925 702 ===== ===== Total at end of period 1,250 932 ===== ===== Results of Operations Revenues. Total revenues increased 42.9% to $109.6 million for the three months ended March 30, 1997, from $76.7 million for the comparable period in 1996. Restaurant sales increased 50.0% to $52.9 million for the three months ended in March 30, 1997, from $35.3 million for the comparable period in 1996. This increase was primarily due to an increase of 41% in the number of equivalent Company-owned restaurants open during the three months ended March 30, 1997, compared to the same period in the prior year. "Equivalent restaurants" represent the number of restaurants open at the beginning of a given period, adjusted for restaurants opened or acquired during the period on a weighted average basis. Also, sales increased 11.9% for the three months ended March 30, 1997, over the comparable period in 1996, for Company-owned restaurants open throughout both periods. Franchise royalties increased 35.6% to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 30, 1997 from $3.9 million for the comparable period in 1996. This increase was primarily due to an increase of 31% in the number of equivalent franchised restaurants open during the three months ended March 30, 1997, compared to the same period in the prior year. Also, sales increased 7.3% for the three months ended March 30, 1997, over the comparable period in the 1996, for franchised restaurants open throughout both periods. Franchise and development fees increased 51.6% to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 30, 1997, from $818,000 for the comparable period in 1996. This increase was primarily due to the 68 franchised restaurants opened during the three months ended March 30, 1997, versus the 43 opened during the comparable period in 1996, an increase of 58.1%. The average dollar amount of fees per franchised restaurant opening may vary from period to period, as restaurants opened pursuant to older development agreements and "Hometown restaurants" generally have lower required fees than restaurants opened pursuant to more recent development agreements. "Hometown restaurants" are located in smaller markets, generally markets with less than 9,000 households. Commissary sales increased 31.1% to $41.3 million for the three months ended March 30, 1997, from $31.5 million for the comparable period in 1996. This increase was primarily the result of the increases in equivalent franchised restaurants and comparable sales for franchised restaurants noted above. -7- Equipment and other sales increased 70.1% to $8.9 million for the three months ended March 30, 1997, from $5.2 million for the comparable period in 1996. This increase was primarily due to the increase in equivalent franchised restaurants open during the three months ended March 30, 1997, as compared to the same period in 1996, and the increase in franchised restaurants opened during the three months ended March 30, 1997, as compared to the same period in 1996. Costs and Expenses. Restaurant cost of sales, which consists of food, beverage and paper costs, decreased as a percentage of restaurant sales to 26.5% for the three months ended March 30, 1997, from 27.8% for the same period in 1996. This decrease was primarily due to a 7.1% decrease in average cheese block market prices, and more efficient food usage at the restaurant level due to improved management information provided by point of sale technology and a maturing restaurant base. Restaurant salaries and benefits (27.0% vs. 26.9%), advertising and related costs (9.0% vs. 9.3%) and occupancy costs (5.0% vs. 5.1%) were all relatively consistent as a percentage of restaurant sales for the three months ended March 30, 1997, as compared to the same period in 1996. Other restaurant operating expenses increased as a percentage of restaurant sales to 14.1% for the three months ended March 30, 1997, from 13.4% for the comparable period in 1996. Other operating expenses include all other restaurant-level operating costs, the material components of which are automobile mileage reimbursement for delivery drivers, telephone costs, training costs and workers compensation insurance. Other operating expenses also include an allocation of commissary operating expenses equal to 3% of Company-owned restaurant sales in order to assess a portion of the costs of dough production and food and equipment purchasing and storage to Company-owned restaurants. The increase in other operating expenses as a percentage of restaurant sales was primarily due to higher training costs, as a greater effort was made in 1997 than in the prior year to prepare for the anticipated higher sales volumes resulting from the 12th Anniversary promotional campaign conducted early in the second quarter. Commissary, equipment and other expenses include cost of sales and operating expenses associated with sales of food, paper, equipment, information systems, and printing and promotional items to franchisees and other customers. These costs decreased as a percentage of combined commissary sales and equipment and other sales to 90.9% for the three months ended March 30, 1997, as compared to 92.2% for the same period in 1996. Cost of sales as a percentage of combined commissary sales and equipment and other sales decreased to 76.8 % for the three months ended March 30, 1997, from 79.9% from the comparable period in 1996, due to the timing of certain favorable commodity price changes. The decrease was offset by an increase in other operating expenses to 8.1%, for the three months ended March 30, 1997, from 6.6% for the comparable period in 1996, due primarily to increased delivery costs resulting from larger commissary service areas and costs related to the opening of two commissary facilities in 1997. General and administrative expenses (7.7% vs. 7.6%) and depreciation and amortization (3.7% vs. 3.8%) were relatively consistent as a percentage of total revenues for the three months ended March 30, 1997, as compared to the same period in 1996. Investment Income. Investment income increased to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 30, 1997, from $528,000 for the comparable period in 1996. This increase was primarily the result of higher average investment balances during the first quarter of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996 due to the investment of proceeds from the Company's public offering of common stock in May 1996. Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense reflects a combined federal, state and local effective tax rate of 37% for the three months ended March 30, 1997 and March 31, 1996, representing statutory rates reduced by the impact of tax-exempt income generated by the investment portfolio. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company requires capital primarily for the development and acquisition of restaurants, the addition of new commissary and support services facilities and equipment and the enhancement of corporate systems and facilities. Capital expenditures of $11 million for the three months ended March 30, 1997, were primarily funded by cash flow from operations supplemented by existing cash balances. Cash flow from operations increased to $8.6 million for the three months ended March 30, 1997, from $5.4 million for the comparable period in 1996, due primarily to the higher level of net income for the first quarter of 1997. -8- In addition to restaurant development and potential acquisitions, significant capital projects for the next twelve months are expected to include the construction of new commissary facilities in Des Moines, Iowa and the Pacific Northwest area. The Company also expects to begin construction during mid-1997 of a 250,000 square foot facility in Louisville, Kentucky, scheduled for completion in mid-1998, approximately one-half of which will accommodate relocation and expansion of the Louisville commissary operations and Novel Approach promotional division and the remainder of which will accommodate relocation and consolidation of corporate offices. In addition, the Company expects to provide approximately $8 to $12 million in loans under the franchisee loan program. The amounts actually funded may vary as the Company continues to gain experience with the loan program. Capital resources available at March 30, 1997, include $16.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, $63.2 million of investment and a $10 million line of credit expiring in June 1997. The Company expects to fund planned capital expenditures for the next twelve months from these resources and operating cash flows. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings The Company is subject to claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that all such claims and actions currently pending against it are either adequately covered by insurance or would not have a material adverse effect on the Company if decided in a manner unfavorable to the Company.
