Fourth Quarter 2011 Results

System-wide sales grew 18.5% in the fourth quarter to R$ 277.8 million, driven by an increase in the number of franchised points of sale as well as higher sales from company-owned stores.

Total revenue for the fourth quarter 2011 increased by 7.5% to R$60.5 million compared to R$56.2 million in the fourth quarter 2010. Revenue growth was primarily driven by the continued expansion of Brazil Fast Food’s franchisee network as well as gains from economies of scale and the associated increase in the Company’s purchasing power.

Net revenue for company-owned and operated outlets was up 8.4% year-over-year to R$45.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, reflecting an increase in net revenues across the Company’s Bob’s, KFC and Pizza Hut brands, offset somewhat by a decrease in net revenues for the Company’s Doggis brand. At the end of 2011, the Company had no ownoperated Doggis’ stores.

Net revenue from franchisees increased 27.0% year-over-year to R$11.0 million, driven primarily by an increase in number of franchised retail outlets to 813, up from 712 in the same period a year ago. Other revenue and income totaled R$3.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Operating expenses grew 16.6% to R$58.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, primarily due to higher store costs and expenses and the significant decline in the net result of assets sold and impaired, which was a loss of R$1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, as compared to a net gain of R$1.4 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of revenue, operating costs increased from 89.2% of total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2010 to 96.7% of total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2011, mainly attributable to variance in asset sales.

Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was R$2.0 million, compared to R$6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, primarily due to the non-recurring items noted above. Operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2011 was 3.3% compared to 10.8% in the same period of 2010.

EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2011 was R$2.8 million, compared to R$8.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. EBITDA margin was 4.7% in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to 14.4% in the comparable period of 2010. Please refer Table No. 4 in this press release for a reconciliation of EBITDA to its nearest GAAP equivalent.

Interest income was R$0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to interest expense of R$0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The higher interest income is attributable to lower debt and improved working capital.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was R$1.9 million or R$0.23 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of R$4.2 million or R$0.52 per basic and diluted share in the same period of 2010.

Subsequent Events

Brazil Fast Food and YRI will remain close partners as the Company will continue to contribute to the development of YRI’s brands as a KFC franchisee focused in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo and as a Pizza Hut franchisee with operations in the São Paulo metropolitan area.

Business Outlook

Over the last few years, Brazil Fast Food has developed a multi-brand strategy through agreements with leading brands to expand in Brazil the KFC and Pizza Hut business through own stores and the Doggis business through franchises. At the end of year 2012, the Company expects Bobs’ brand to reach a total of 1000 points of sale, a 20.5% increase from 830 points of sale at the end of 2011.

“In 2012, we aim to consolidate our market position and improve our consumer perception. We are working towards increasing sales and guest count at our KFC stores by improving our operations and promoting KFC’s Buckets at dinner party and weekends. Moreover, our Pizza Hut stores and delivery operations outperformed this year and in 2012, we plan to enhance our own-operated Pizza Hut stores results, consolidate “Pizza Hut Express with PHD platform” and expand our Pizza Hut stores,” said Mr. Bomeny.

“We are expanding our Doggis’ brand exclusively through franchisees. We plan to initiate a pilot project to reduce overall investment and operational costs by simplifying the store layout and product offering. Hot dogs are popular among all social classes in Brazil and with this pilot project, we will be able to expand the brand by setting up small stores in high pedestrian areas. Our revenue growth in 2012 will largely be driven by our expansion of Pizza Hut chain in Brazil through own-operated stores, improvement of our KFC store margins and our efforts to expand the number of our franchisees and franchised retail outlets under the Bob’s and Doggis brands,” concluded Mr. Bomeny.

RECONCILIATION OF EBITDA TO NET INCOME

EBITDA represents earnings before net interest expense, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization. Our management believes EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating companies in our industry. In addition, our management believes that EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculation of EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing and income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending, which items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. As a result, our management uses EBITDA as a measure to evaluate the performance of our business. However, EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and when analyzing our operating performance, investors should use EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for, income from operations and net income, each as determined in accordance with GAAP. Not all companies use identical calculations, and our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as a tax and debt service payments.
