PIZZA INN, INC.
Third Quarter FY 2006 versus Third Quarter FY 2005 Results * Diluted EPS was ($0.05) versus $0.00 on a net loss of ($477,000) versus a net loss of ($20,000) for the same quarter last year. * Same store buffet restaurant sales increased 1.1% for the quarter and same store chainwide retail sales increased 0.4% for the quarter. * Total revenues decreased approximately 4%, or $589,000, primarily due to 2.6% overall lower chainwide retail sales as a result of fewer net stores and lower cheese prices. The resulting reductions in food and supply sales and royalty revenues were partially offset by higher company-owned restaurant sales due to the opening of three new company buffet restaurants in the current fiscal year. * Losses for company-owned restaurants increased approximately $140,000 to ($238,000). * Salaries increased approximately $134,000 due to increased staffing levels and severance payments made. * Energy costs increased approximately $114,000. * General and administrative expenses included non-cash stock compensation expense of $88,000 for approximately 560,000 stock option rights granted previously. The prior year did not include any non-cash compensation expense.
The Company's President and CEO, Tim Taft, commented, "Following months of research and preparation, we implemented the first phase of our marketing plan in January of this year and are already seeing encouraging results from these efforts. In addition, the renewed trust and confidence our franchise partners have in the brand's new direction is producing positive results. We continue to work together to establish the proper direction for Pizza Inn, one focused on our competitive strengths and advantages. Although sales performance is improving at Pizza Inn, we have not lost sight of our opportunity to improve its operating performance."
