“We exceeded our previously-raised annual adjusted EBITDA and earnings guidance, and we extended our record of positive system-wide comparable restaurant sales to 23 consecutive quarters in the face of significant competitive discounting, a competitor introducing breakfast all day, and catastrophic flooding in the Carolinas during the fourth fiscal quarter. Our two- and three-year stacked system-wide comparable restaurant sales for the fourth fiscal quarter increased 7.7% and 10.6%, respectively. I am delighted in what our team accomplished in fiscal 2015 and look forward to what we can achieve in fiscal 2016. Our iconic Bojangles’® brand connects well with customers across all generations with a menu and diversified day-part mix that is distinct from our peers. Bojangles’ is further blessed with strong leadership executing a strategy to create the best guest experience possible at all our restaurants and grow the organization in a smart and measured way,” said Bojangles’ President and CEO Clifton Rutledge.

“We expect to continue delivering on our stated goals through targeted plans for fiscal 2016 that build upon our solid fiscal 2015 performance. We intend to grow the Bojangles’ system by approximately 8% in net unit count this year through development in adjacent areas within the Southeast and infilling in our core North and South Carolina markets. While doing so, we intend to uphold our commitment to operational excellence based upon our people and Bo-Size Service strategies, enhance our technological platform, and foster better awareness and stronger loyalty through social and digital engagement. My enthusiasm for this brand and the opportunities ahead of us is shared by our team members and franchise partners across more than 660 Bojangles’ restaurants,” he concluded.

Fourth Fiscal Quarter 2015 Financial Review

System-wide comparable restaurant sales increased 0.6%, consisting of company-operated and franchised comparable restaurant sales growth of 0.7% and 0.6%, respectively. Comparable restaurant sales growth at company-operated restaurants was due to increases in price, offset by lower transactions and mix.

Total revenues increased 9.6% to $128.8 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 from $117.4 million in the prior year fiscal quarter. The increase was primarily due to an additional net 40 system-wide restaurants at December 27, 2015 compared to December 28, 2014, and comparable restaurant sales growth at our company-operated and franchised restaurants.

Company restaurant revenues increased 9.9% to $122.2 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 from $111.2 million in the prior year fiscal quarter. Franchise royalty revenues increased 5.0% to $6.4 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 from $6.1 million in the prior year fiscal quarter.

Restaurant contribution, a non-GAAP measure, increased 5.8% to $23.1 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 from $21.8 million in the prior year fiscal quarter. As a percentage of company restaurant revenues, restaurant contribution margin, a non-GAAP measure, decreased to 18.9% in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 from 19.6% in the prior year fiscal quarter.

General and administrative expenses increased 8.8% to $10.2 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 from $9.3 million in the prior year fiscal quarter. The increase was primarily due to additional positions added to support an increased number of restaurants in our system, additional costs as a result of operating as a public company, and $0.4 million in expenses incurred in connection with the transition to a new distributor, partially offset by a reduction in performance-based incentive compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 4.8% to $21.3 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 from $20.3 million in the prior year fiscal quarter.

Net Income was $7.8 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 compared to $7.9 million in the prior year fiscal quarter.

Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Measures

We utilize certain non-GAAP measures when assessing the operational strength and the performance of our business. Bojangles’ cautions that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, reported GAAP results.

Comparable restaurant sales reflects the change in year-over-year sales for the comparable restaurant base (as applicable, system-wide, franchised or company-operated restaurants). A restaurant enters our comparable restaurant base the first full day of the month after being open for 15 months using a mid-month convention.

Restaurant contribution is defined as company restaurant revenues less food and supplies costs, restaurant labor costs and operating costs, as identified by the reconciliation table below. Restaurant contribution margin is defined as restaurant contribution as a percentage of company restaurant revenues. Restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin are supplemental measures of operating performance of our company-operated restaurants and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to those reported by other companies. Restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Pro Forma Net Income represents company net income before items that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance, as well as an estimate of recurring incremental legal, accounting, insurance and other operating and compliance costs we expect to incur as a public company for those periods where they had not yet been incurred, both as identified in the reconciliation table below. Pro Forma Diluted Net Income per Share represents company diluted net income per share before items that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance, as well as an estimate of recurring incremental legal, accounting, insurance and other operating and compliance costs we expect to incur as a public company for those periods where they had not yet been incurred, both as identified in the reconciliation table below.

EBITDA represents company net income before interest expense (net of interest income), provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents company net income before interest expense (net of interest income), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, items that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance and certain non-cash items, as identified in the reconciliation table below.

Pro Forma Net Income, Pro Forma Diluted Net Income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of our performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. Pro Forma Net Income, Pro Forma Diluted Net Income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. In addition, in evaluating Pro Forma Net Income, Pro Forma Diluted Net Income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses or charges such as those added back to calculate Pro Forma Net Income, Pro Forma Diluted Net Income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
