Thomas Vogel, President, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Logan’s Roadhouse, Inc., stated, “During the third quarter, sales contributions from new restaurant openings more than offset lower comparable store sales and we generated Adjusted EBITDA growth despite slightly negative comparable store sales.  Our core demographic continues to be impacted by high unemployment levels and lower discretionary income, therefore increasing guest counts remains both a significant challenge as well as our top organizational priority.  We continue to actively test and implement brand building and new product messages across all of our day parts to encourage more visits to Logan’s.”

Mr. Vogel concluded, “We completed our fiscal 2012 development schedule with our 19th restaurant opening in the beginning of the fourth quarter and we remain focused on continuing to fund our new restaurant growth through operating cash flows and lease financing."

Additional discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations can be found in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended April 29, 2012.  It is available at www.logansroadhouse.com under the investor relations section.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains statements about future events and expectations that constitute forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “plan,” “seek,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe” or the negative thereof or similar terminology.  These statements are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future financial and operating performance and growth plans, taking into account the information currently available.  These statements are not statements of historical fact.  Examples of forward-looking statements in this press release include our targets for future new unit growth.  Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the expectations of future results we express or imply in any forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on such statements.  Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, and subsequent periodic reports that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for a discussion of risk factors that may contribute to these differences.  Any forward-looking information presented herein is made only as of the date of this supplemental report, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release also contains non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR, and the Combined presentation of the Predecessor and Successor periods of fiscal year 2011.  The Company believes that these measures, together with reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure, are helpful to both management and investors in understanding and analyzing financial performance.  However, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.  These non-GAAP measures and the Combined presentation for fiscal year 2011 have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures.

To the extent we discuss any non-GAAP financial measures on the earnings call, a reconciliation of each measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is available in this press release. In addition, the Current Report on Form 8-K furnished to the SEC concurrent with the issuance of this press release includes a more detailed description of each of these non-GAAP financial measures, together with a discussion of the usefulness and purpose of such measures.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR.

(a)  
Prior to the completion of the Transactions, sponsor management fees consisted of fees paid to our Predecessor owners under a management and consulting services agreement, which was terminated in connection with the completion of the Transactions.

Restaurant impairment charges were recorded in connection with the determination that the carrying value of certain of our restaurants exceeded their estimated fair value.
 
(c)  
Loss on disposal of property and equipment consists of the loss on disposal or retirement of assets that are not fully depreciated.
 
(d)  
Restructuring costs include severance and other related charges.
