Columbus, Ohio May 10, 2011 Bravo Brio Restaurant Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: BBRG), owner and
operator of the BRAVO! Cucina Italiana (BRAVO!) and BRIO Tuscan Grille (BRIO) restaurant concepts,
today reported financial results for the 13 weeks ended March 27, 2011. The Company also

Following:
| Revenues increased 10.5% to $90.4 million from $81.8 million. |
||
| Total comparable restaurant revenues increased 2.7%. |
||
| BRIO comparable restaurant sales increased 4.6% and BRAVO! comparable restaurant sales increased 0.6%. |
||
| Restaurant-level operating profit increased 11.8% to $15.8 million from $14.1 million. |
||
| GAAP net income attributed to common shareholders was $4.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted
share, compared to GAAP net loss attributed to common shareholders of ($0.6) million, or
($0.08) per diluted share. |
||
| Modified pro forma net income was $3.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to
modified pro forma net income of $2.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share. Please see the
reconciliation from GAAP to modified pro forma (non-GAAP) net income in the accompanying
financial tables. |
We are very pleased with our overall results in the first quarter of 2011, which included positive
comparable sales for both BRAVO! and BRIO and modified pro forma EPS growth of approximately 50%
compared to the prior year. With a proven operating model and demonstrated track record of
achievement, we look forward to taking our business to new heights this year and are well underway
towards establishing Bravo Brio as the premier Italian restaurant company in the country, said
Saed Mohseni, Chief Executive Officer and President, Bravo Brio Restaurant Group, Inc.
First Quarter 2011 Financial Results
Revenues increased $8.6 million, or 10.5%, to $90.4 million in the first quarter of 2011, from
$81.8 million in the first quarter of 2010. The increase in revenues was primarily due to an
additional 72 operating weeks provided by one new BRAVO! restaurant opened in the first quarter of
2011 and five new restaurants opened in 2010. Total comparable restaurant sales increased 2.7%,
which was driven primarily by a 2.6% increase in guest count.
Total restaurant operating costs increased $6.9 million, or 10.2%, to $74.6 million in the first
quarter of 2011, from $67.7 million in the same period last year. Total restaurant-level operating
profit increased 11.8% to $15.8 million from $14.1 million in the same period last year. As a
percentage of revenues, total restaurant-level operating profit increased to 17.4% in the first
quarter of 2011 from 17.2% in the first quarter of 2010, which was primarily attributable to the
positive leverage from our increased comparable restaurant sales, partially offset by higher
commodity costs.
GAAP net income attributed to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2011 was $4.5 million,
or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss attributed to common shareholders of ($0.6)
million, or ($0.08) per diluted share, in the same period last year.
On a modified pro forma basis, a measure that management believes offers a more useful
year-over-year performance comparison, modified pro forma net income for the first quarter of 2011
was $3.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to modified pro forma net income of $2.5
million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Please see the accompanying
financial tables for a reconciliation from GAAP net income attributed to common shareholders to
modified pro forma (non-GAAP) net income.
First Quarter 2011 Brand Operating Highlights
Comparable restaurant sales at BRIO increased 4.6% in the first quarter of 2011 and average weekly
sales were $97,300. Comparable restaurant sales at BRAVO! increased 0.6% and average weekly sales
were $63,500.
As of March 27, 2011, we owned and operated 48 BRAVO!, 38 BRIO and one Bon Vie restaurant across 29
states.
