Results for the first quarter included:

 

·                  Before a one-time charge, diluted earnings per share increased 15.3% to $0.31 from $0.27 in the prior year period;

·                  The Company recorded a one-time, pre-tax charge of $5.0 million ($3.1 million after-tax) for a legal settlement, which had a $0.04 impact on diluted earnings per share;

·                  Comparable restaurant sales increased 6.0% at company restaurants and 6.9% at franchise restaurants;

·                  Eight company restaurants were opened;

·                  Restaurant margins, as a percentage of restaurant sales, decreased 13 basis points to 19.1%.

 

Kent Taylor, Chief Executive Officer of Texas Roadhouse, commented, “We were pleased with our performance during the period and believe that Texas Roadhouse remains very well poised for continued growth.  Our sales momentum continued throughout the quarter for both existing and new restaurants, and we remain on track to open 25 restaurants in 2012.  Additionally, we continue to work toward at least 25 new restaurant openings in 2013.  Finally, our balance sheet remains strong and we will continue to evaluate ways to return capital to shareholders through dividends and future share repurchases.”

 

2012 Outlook

 

The Company reported that comparable restaurant sales at company restaurants for the first four weeks of its second quarter of fiscal 2012 increased approximately 4.8% compared to the prior year period.

 

The Company currently anticipates that GAAP diluted earnings per share for 2012, which includes the legal settlement charge discussed below, will be $0.91 to $0.93.  This compares to diluted earnings per share of $0.88 in 2011.  The updated guidance is based, in part, on the following assumptions:

 

·                  Comparable restaurant sales growth of 4.0% to 5.0%;

·                  25 company restaurant openings;

·                  Food cost inflation of 7.0% to 7.5%, slightly lower than previously expected;

 



 

·                  A pre-tax charge of $5.0 million ($3.1 million after-tax) for a legal settlement.  This charge is expected to negatively impact 2012 diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.04;

·                  An income tax rate of 32.5% to 33.0%, which is much higher than the prior year rate of 29.5% as a result of the expiration of certain federal tax credits at the end of 2011.  The increased tax rate is expected to negatively impact 2012 diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.04; and

·                  Total capital expenditures of $80.0 to $85.0 million.

 

Settlement of a Legal Matter

 

The Company reached a settlement agreement, subject to court approval, of a previously disclosed legal matter relating to Massachusetts wage law.  Accordingly, a pre-tax charge of $5.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted earnings per share, is included in the Company’s financial results for the first quarter.  A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP information for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 is included with this release.

Texas Roadhouse, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Information

(in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

 

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) throughout this document, the Company has provided non-GAAP measurements which present operating results on a basis before the impact of a settlement of a legal matter.  This item is described in detail throughout this document.

 

The Company used earnings before the impact of the legal settlement as a key performance measure of results of operations for purposes of evaluating performance internally.  This non-GAAP measurement is not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP.  Rather, the Company believes that the presentation of results before the legal settlement provides additional information to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations, excluding items that the Company does not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations in the quarter ended March 27, 2012.
