Commenting on the third quarter results, Cracker Barrel President and Chief Executive Officer, Sandra B. Cochran said, “Our third quarter results included solid comparable store restaurant sales growth of 7.4% compared to the prior year. Although this was below our expectations as a result of the casual dining traffic declines that occurred toward the end of the quarter, I was pleased that we outperformed the Black Box Intelligence Casual Dining Index for the fourth consecutive quarter. Our teams remain focused on operational excellence, staffing and retention, and delivering an exceptional guest experience. Our everyday value and menu innovation is resonating with guests, and we’re making great progress on key initiatives including catering, our loyalty program, and cost savings, which we believe will position us well for the long-term as we navigate through the present uncertain environment.”

Third Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results
Revenue
The Company reported total revenue of $832.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, representing an increase of 5.4% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Cracker Barrel comparable store restaurant sales increased 7.4%, including total menu pricing of approximately 8.8%. Comparable store retail sales decreased 4.6% from the prior year quarter.
Operating Income
GAAP operating income for the third quarter was $16.8 million, or 2.0% of total revenue, compared to $30.5 million, or 3.9% of total revenue, in the prior year quarter. Excluding approximately $13.9 million dollars in impairment charges and store closure costs and the approximately $3.2 million in non-cash amortization related to the gains on the previously disclosed sale and leaseback transactions, adjusted^1^ operating income for the third quarter was $33.9 million, or 4.1% of total revenue, compared to $33.6 million, or 4.3%, of total revenue in the prior year quarter.
The decline in the Company’s GAAP operating income as a percentage of total revenue versus the prior year quarter is primarily due to impairment charges and store closure expenses, higher general and administrative expenses, and higher cost of retail goods sold in the current year quarter.
The decline in the Company’s adjusted operating income as a percentage of total revenue versus the prior year quarter is primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses and cost of retail goods sold in the current year quarter, partially offset by lower restaurant cost of goods sold and lower labor and related expenses in the current year quarter.
Net Income, EBITDA, and Earnings per DilutedShare
GAAP net income for the third quarter was $14.0 million, or 1.7% of total revenue compared to prior year quarter GAAP net income of $27.5 million, or 3.5% of total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA^1^ was $60.3 million, or 7.2% of total revenue, a 1.2% increase compared to the prior year quarter EBITDA^1^ of $59.6 million, or 7.5% of total revenue.
GAAP earnings per diluted share for the third quarter were $0.63, a 47% decrease compared to the prior year quarter GAAP earnings per diluted share of $1.19. Adjusted^1^ earnings per diluted share were $1.21, a 6.2% decrease compared to the prior year quarter adjusted^1^ earnings per diluted share of $1.29.
Quarterly Dividend Declaration
The Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $1.30 per share on the Company’s common stock. The quarterly dividend is payable on August 8, 2023 to shareholders of record as of July 21, 2023.
Fiscal 2023 Fourth Quarter Outlook
The Company anticipates the near-term environment will remain challenged due to heightened economic uncertainty, lower discretionary spending, and weaker consumer confidence. The Company has accordingly updated its outlook for the fourth quarter as follows:
| ● | Total revenue growth of 1% to 3% compared to the prior year quarter; |
|---|---|
| ● | One new Cracker Barrel unit and five to seven new Maple Street Biscuit Company units; |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Commodity inflation that is approximately flat and wage inflation of approximately 5% compared to the<br>prior year quarter |
| --- | --- |
| ● | GAAP operating income margin rate of 4.1% to 5.1% and adjusted operating income margin rate of 4.5% to<br>5.5%; |
| --- | --- |
