Pizza Inn Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PZZI) today announced results for the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2013.  First quarter net income decreased to a loss of $0.4 million compared to a loss of $0.1 million for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.  The decline in first quarter net income as compared to the prior year quarter was primarily attributable to a reduction in franchise revenue and food and supply sales related to the Pizza Inn franchise system and an increase in expenses for Pie Five franchise development and Company-owned restaurants.

First quarter franchise revenues decreased $0.1 million, or 7.1%, as compared to the prior fiscal year quarter primarily as a result of lower royalties resulting from lower franchisee retail sales.  Because the franchise development fees received from Pie Five franchisees are not recognized until restaurants open, the fiscal first quarter of 2014 included a relatively small amount of franchise revenue related to Pie Five.  First quarter food and supply sales decreased by approximately $0.7 million, or 9.7%, as compared to the prior year primarily due to a 10.7% decrease in total domestic franchisee retail sales as the result of a decrease in both the average number of stores open and comparable store sales.  First quarter general and administrative expenses remained stable compared to the prior year as higher costs associated with the continued growth of the Pie Five concept were mostly offset by lower stock compensation expense and recruiting fees.

"We continue to feel the year over year impact at Pizza Inn of franchise restaurants closed during 2013.  But, we are pleased that the rate of closures has declined significantly in the past two quarters,” noted Randy Gier, President and CEO.  “In partnership with our franchisees, we are enhancing our product quality, improving our operational consistency, and shifting our marketing focus to further improve the comparable store trends of the Pizza Inn brand,” added Gier.

Company-owned restaurant sales increased 32.1% to $2.4 million due primarily to new restaurant openings at Pie Five.

“We continue to develop and expand our Pie Five concept with the opening of two Company-owned restaurants and three franchise restaurants so far in this fiscal year, bringing the total number of restaurants in operation today to 16,” said Gier.

“Four additional franchise development agreements were signed during the quarter for an additional 35 restaurants in the Richmond, VA, Wichita, KS, Tulsa, OK, Baltimore, MD, and Louisville/Lexington, KY metropolitan areas. Additionally, a development agreement for the Nashville, Tennessee market has been entered into during the second quarter. This brings our total Pie Five franchise restaurants under development agreements to 118.  We are also currently evaluating sites for the expansion of Company Pie Five operations into the Houston market.

“Our results for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 reflect a continued focus on building two strong and sustainable restaurant brands.  We are confident that we are on the right track,” concluded Gier.
