“Following a strong first half of the year, we’ve hit our 16th consecutive quarter of profitability with steady same-store sales at both
Pizza Inn and Pie Five in Q3,” said Brandon Solano, Chief Executive Officer of RAVE Restaurant Group, Inc. "This fiscal quarter, we restructured our executive team with some of the industry’s most well-respected and results-driving talent, further
elevating the caliber of our overall team, while at the same time realizing significant savings in employee-related expenses.”
“We are proud of our Q3 performance over the past three years. Over the past two years, same-store sales have increased by 13.7% at Pizza Inn and by
1.7% at Pie Five, and in the last three years, Q3 same-store sales grew 36.5% and 23.1% at Pizza Inn and Pie Five respectively. We are pleased to report growth in RAVE’s total overall Q3 sales, profit and net income as compared to the same period
last year," Solano continued. “Through the first three quarters of the current fiscal year, we have matched the $1.6 million in net income that the company delivered in all four quarters combined in the prior fiscal year. This is a testament to the
dedication of our team and the effectiveness of our financial strategies, positioning us for sustained growth and shareholder value."
On reimaging, Solano noted, “We are steadfast in our commitment to continue expanding our reimaging and marketing programs. As of the end of quarter
three, we have 12 Pizza Inn restaurants set to begin the reimage process, in addition to the five sites that are already in progress or completed. This program embodies our determination to invest in our long-term success, as we expect to see
double-digit same-store sales increases once completed.”
Newly hired Chief Financial Officer, Jay Rooney added, “I am very excited and feel fortunate to join the incredible RAVE team at this time when we are
focused on right-sizing expenses to grow the bottom line. To generate over $1.0 million in operating cash this quarter was truly impressive. Equally exciting is the company’s commitment to revitalizing and growing sales through reimaging existing
restaurants and opening new franchised restaurants. The middle of the P&L is solid and the top line has tremendous growth potential.”
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, the
Company also presents and discusses certain non-GAAP financial measures that it believes are useful to investors as measures of operating performance. Management may also use such non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the effectiveness of
business strategies and for planning and budgeting purposes. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as an alternative or substitute for its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
The Company considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be important supplemental measures of operating performance that are commonly used by securities
analysts, investors and other parties interested in our industry. The Company believes that EBITDA is helpful to investors in evaluating its results of operations without the impact of expenses affected by financing methods, accounting methods and
the tax environment. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides additional useful information to investors by excluding non-operational or non-recurring expenses to provide a measure of operating performance that is more comparable from
period to period. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures for evaluating operating performance, assessing the effectiveness of business strategies, projecting future capital needs, budgeting and other planning purposes.
“EBITDA” represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” represents earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, severance, gain/loss on sale of assets, costs related to impairment and other lease charges, franchise default and closed store revenue/expense, and closed and non-operating store costs. A
reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to net income is included with the accompanying financial statements.
Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release, other than historical information, may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Assumptions relating
to these forward-looking statements involve judgments with respect to, among other things, the effectiveness of our cost cutting measures, the timing to complete as well as the continued returns on our reimaging initiatives, the strength of our
development pipeline, as well as future economic, competitive and market conditions, regulatory framework and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of RAVE
Restaurant Group, Inc. Although the assumptions underlying these forward-looking statements are believed to be reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that any forward-looking statements will
prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward-looking statements, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation that the objectives and plans of RAVE Restaurant Group, Inc.
will be achieved.
Dallas-based RAVE Restaurant Group [NASDAQ: RAVE] has inspired restaurant innovation and countless customer smiles with its trailblazing pizza concepts. The Company
franchises, licenses and supplies Pie Five and Pizza Inn restaurants operating domestically and internationally. The Pizza Inn experience is unlike your typical buffet. Since 1958, Pizza Inn's house-made dough, house-shredded 100% whole milk
mozzarella cheese, fresh ingredients and house-made signature sauce combined with friendly service solidified the brand to become America's favorite hometown pizza place. This, in addition to its small-town vibe, are the hallmarks of Pizza Inn
restaurants. In 2011, RAVE introduced Pie Five Pizza, pioneering a fast-casual pizza brand that transformed the classic pizzeria into a concept offering personalization, sophisticated ingredients and speed. Pie Five's craft pizzas are baked fresh
daily and feature house-made ingredients, creative recipes and craveable crust creations. For more information, visit www.raverg.com, and follow on Instagram @pizzainn and @piefivepizza.
