Operating Results
Total Company revenues, which include Company-owned restaurant revenue and franchise royalties, increased $36.7 million or 15.9% to $267.4 million in the third quarter of 2014 from $230.7 million in the third quarter of 2013. Restaurants acquired in 2014 had $23.1 million of restaurant revenue.
System-wide restaurant revenue (including franchised units) for the third quarter of 2014 totaled $330.9 million, compared to $314.5 million for the third quarter in 2013 at constant currency rates.
Comparable restaurant revenue increased 0.9% in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year. In the third quarter, guest counts decreased 2.3%, while average guest check increased 3.2%. Comparable restaurants are those Company-owned restaurants that have achieved five full quarters of operations during the period presented, and such restaurants are only included in our comparable metrics if they are comparable for the entirety of both periods presented.
Restaurant-level operating profit margins (a non-GAAP financial measure) were 19.5% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to 20.4% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, a decline of 90 basis points. Excluding acquired restaurants, restaurant-level operating profit margins decreased 30 basis points to 20.1%, primarily due to higher food and beverage costs as a percentage of sales. Schedule II of this earnings release defines restaurant-level operating profit, discusses why it is a useful metric for investors, and reconciles this metric to income from operations and net income.

(1) Excludes Red Robin Burger Works® fast casual restaurants which had 84 and 60 operating weeks in the third quarter of 2014 and 2013
(2) Calculated at constant currency rates
(3) Inclusive of the acquisition of 32 franchised restaurants in the U.S. and Canada that was completed on July 14, 2014
Other Results
Depreciation and amortization costs increased $1.8 million to $15.2 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $13.4 million in the third quarter of 2013. The increased depreciation was primarily related to new restaurants acquired and opened since the third quarter 2013 and restaurants remodeled under our brand transformation initiative.
General and administrative costs were $20.1 million, a decrease of $0.5 million from the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, due mainly to a decrease in incentive compensation.
Selling expenses were $7.7 million, or 2.9% of revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, compared to $6.8 million or 3.0% of revenue a year ago. The increase in selling expenses is primarily due to increased marketing program costs and gift card program growth.
Pre-opening and acquisition costs in the fiscal third quarter of 2014 totaled $2.6 million compared to $2.5 million in the comparable period a year ago. Acquisition costs totaled $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2014 related to the purchase of 32 Red Robin franchised restaurants.
The Company had an effective tax rate of 12.5% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, bringing the year to date effective tax rate to 23.9%, compared to 24.2% a year ago.
Restaurant Development and Acquisitions
As of the end of the third quarter of 2014, there were 402 Company-owned Red Robin® restaurants, seven Red Robin Burger Works® and 98 franchised Red Robin restaurants for a total of 507 restaurants. A year ago, there were 345 Company-owned restaurants, five Red Robin Burger Works and 135 franchised locations. In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company opened six new Red Robin restaurants, closed one restaurant, and acquired 32 restaurants.
As previously announced, on July 14, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of 32 franchised restaurants in the U.S. and Canada for $40 million. The 32 franchised restaurants generate approximately $90 million in restaurant revenue on an annualized basis.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of October 5, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $19.9 million and total debt of $156.1 million, including $8.7 million of capital lease liabilities. The Company increased debt by $19.0 million during the third quarter.
During the third quarter, the Company purchased 326,157 shares of treasury stock for $17.6 million. As of October 5, 2014, there were approximately $19.3 million remaining under the current board authorization for stock repurchases.
Updated Outlook for 2014
Red Robin’s 2014 fiscal year consists of 52 weeks and will end on December 28, 2014.
In fiscal year 2014, the Company expects comparable restaurant revenue growth approaching 3.0%. The Company plans to open 19 new Red Robin restaurants and three Red Robin Burger Works resulting in operating week growth of over 6.0%. Restaurants acquired in 2014 are expected to add revenues of $24 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 and will reduce franchise royalties by approximately $0.7 million.
Capital investments in fiscal year 2014 are expected to be approximately $100 million, excluding approximately $51 million related to acquisitions. In addition to the new restaurant openings, the Company also plans to remodel at least 65 Red Robin restaurants as part of its brand transformation initiative as well as expand patio seating in a few locations.
Restaurant-level operating profit margins in fiscal year 2014 are expected to be approximately 21.3%.
General and administrative costs are expected to be approximately $93 million, while selling expenses are expected to be approximately 3.3% of sales considering increased gift card sales. Pre-opening and acquisition costs are expected to total near $8.5 million in fiscal 2014, of which $2.5 million relates to acquisition and integration costs. Depreciation and amortization is projected to be approximately $64.5 million.
Interest expense is expected to be approximately $3.2 million while the income tax rate in fiscal year 2014 is expected to be approximately 24.5%.
The sensitivity of the Company’s earnings per diluted share to a 1% change in guest counts for fiscal year 2014 is estimated to be $0.30 on an annualized basis. Additionally, a 10 basis point change in restaurant-level operating margin is expected to impact earnings per diluted share by approximately $0.07, and a change of approximately $190,000 in pre-tax income or expense is equivalent to approximately $0.01 per diluted share.

Schedule I
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Results to GAAP Results
(In thousands, except per share data)
In addition to the results provided in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) throughout this press release, the Company has provided non-GAAP measurements which present the 12 and 40 weeks ended October 5, 2014 and the 12 and 40 weeks ended October 6, 2013, net income and basic and diluted earnings per share, excluding the effects of executive transition charges in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014. The Company believes that the presentation of net income and earnings per share exclusive of the identified items gives the reader additional insight into the ongoing operational results of the Company. This supplemental information will assist with comparisons of past and future financial results against the present financial results presented herein. Income tax expense related to the asset impairment charges and the loss on debt refinancing was calculated based on the change in the total tax provision calculation after adjusting for the identified items. The non-GAAP measurements are intended to supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP.

Schedule II
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Restaurant-Level Operating Profit to Income
from Operations and Net Income
(In thousands)
The Company believes that restaurant-level operating profit is an important measure for management and investors because it is widely regarded in the restaurant industry as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance. The Company defines restaurant-level operating profit to be restaurant revenue minus restaurant-level operating costs, excluding restaurant closures and impairment costs. The measure includes restaurant- level occupancy costs, which include fixed rents, percentage rents, common area maintenance charges, real estate and personal property taxes, general liability insurance and other property costs, but excludes depreciation related to restaurant buildings and leasehold improvements. The measure excludes depreciation and amortization expense, substantially all of which is related to restaurant-level assets, because such expenses represent historical sunk costs which do not reflect current cash outlay for the restaurants. The measure also excludes selling, general and administrative costs, and therefore excludes occupancy costs associated with selling, general and administrative functions, and pre-opening costs. The Company excludes restaurant closure costs as they do not represent a component of the efficiency of continuing operations. Restaurant impairment costs are excluded, because, similar to depreciation and amortization, they represent a non-cash charge for the Company’s investment in its restaurants and not a component of the efficiency of restaurant operations. Restaurant-level operating profit is not a measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative, to income from operations or net income as indicators of financial performance. Restaurant-level operating profit as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The table below sets forth certain unaudited information for the 12 and 40 weeks ended October 5, 2014 and the 12 and 40 weeks ended October 6, 2013, expressed as a percentage of total revenues, except for the components of restaurant-level operating profit, which are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenue.
