P.F. CHANG’S SECOND QUARTER REVENUES GROW 14%
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA (July 6, 2006) P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, Inc. (NASDAQ: PFCB) reported today consolidated revenues of $226.0 million for the second quarter ended July 2, 2006 compared to $198.1 million for the second quarter of 2005. Sales at the company’s P.F. Chang’s China Bistro units accounted for $183.7 million of consolidated revenues while sales at the company’s Pei Wei Asian Diner units accounted for $42.3 million of consolidated revenues.
For the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2006, comparable store sales decreased 1.0% at the Bistro (taking into account a 2.9% effective price increase) and decreased 3.9% at Pei Wei (taking into account a 1.7% effective price increase) as compared to the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005. Comparable store sales declined 2.5% for April, increased 1.1% for May and declined 1.1% for June at the Bistro and decreased 5.9%, 2.9% and 2.4% for April, May and June, respectively, at Pei Wei.
During the second quarter of 2006, the company opened four new Bistro restaurants and seven new Pei Wei restaurants.
Based on the shortfall in revenue at both of our brands as well as continued pressure on labor costs, we expect that earnings per share will range between $0.29 and $0.31 for the second quarter.
The company intends to release its second quarter earnings results on July 26, 2006 at approximately 7:00 am ET. A conference call will be held later that same day at 1:00 pm ET. A webcast of the conference call can be accessed at www.pfcb.com.
P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, Inc. owns and operates two restaurant concepts in the Asian niche. P.F. Chang’s China Bistro combines high-quality, traditional Chinese cuisine with attentive service in a sophisticated contemporary bistro setting. Pei Wei Asian Diner offers a modest menu of freshly prepared Asian cuisine served in a relaxed, warm environment offering attentive counter service and take-out flexibility.
