Comparable restaurant sales growth was 2.5% for the first quarter, and we believe this positive momentum will continue in the remaining three quarters of the year. ”

Costs of food and paper increased by 7.4% to RMB155.3 million ($25.0 million) in the first quarter of 2014 from RMB144.6 million in the same quarter of 2013, primarily due to the expansion of the Company’s restaurant network. As a percentage of revenues, cost of food and paper was 44.8% in the first quarter of 2014, down from 47.1% in the prior year period.

 

Restaurant wages and related expenses increased by 19.6% to RMB72.9 million ($11.7 million) in the first quarter of 2014 from RMB60.9 million in the same quarter of 2013. The increase was primarily due to increased wage levels and the Company’s overall expansion of its employee base. As a percentage of revenues, restaurant wages and related expenses increased to 21.0% in the first quarter of 2014 from 19.8% in the same quarter of 2013.

 

Restaurant rent expenses increased by 9.3% to RMB35.4 million ($5.7 million) in the first quarter of 2014 from RMB32.4 million in the same quarter of 2013. The increase was primarily due to the expansion of the Company’s restaurant network. As a percentage of revenues, restaurant rental expenses dropped slightly to 10.2% in the first quarter of 2014 from 10.5% in the first quarter of 2013.

 

Restaurant utility expenses increased by 9.7% to RMB20.1 million ($3.2 million) in the first quarter of 2014 from RMB18.3 million in the same quarter of 2013. As a percentage of revenues, restaurant utility expenses were 5.8% in the first quarter of 2014, down from 6.0% in the first quarter of 2013. The decrease of restaurant utility expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to better sales and effective cost control.

Share-based compensation expenses included in SG&A was RMB6.2 million ($1.0 million) in the first quarter of 2014, compared to RMB2.8 million in the first quarter of 2013.

Pre-opening expense for the first quarter of 2014 was RMB2.5 million ($0.4 million), representing an increase of 19.8% as compared to RMB2.1 million in the same quarter of 2013, primarily because of more new store openings compared to the prior year period.

Depreciation expense for the first quarter of 2014 was RMB19.0 million ($3.1 million), representing an increase of 13.1% as compared to RMB16.8 million in the same quarter of 2013, primarily because of the increase in total fixed assets as a result of restaurant network expansion.

Definitions

 

The following definitions apply to these terms used throughout this release:

 

Comparable restaurants are defined as restaurants that were open throughout the periods under comparison. A restaurant is included in the comparison once it has been in operation for 12 full months before the start of the quarter. Comparable restaurants exclude (i) restaurants whose operational area has increased or decreased by more than 5% during the periods under comparison (ii) restaurants that were closed for more than 5% of total days in any period under comparison.

 

Restaurant level operating margin represents total revenue less restaurant operating costs (including food and paper, restaurant wages and related expenses, restaurant rent expenses, restaurant utilities expenses and other restaurant operating expenses), expressed as a percentage of total revenues.

 

Basic net income per ADS are computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of ADS outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per ADS is computed using the more dilutive of the two-class method or the if-converted method.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

 

To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial information presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP measures under Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K of SEC: adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per ADS, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We define adjusted net income as net income excluding share-based compensation expenses and one-time tax levy/(benefit). We define adjusted diluted earnings per ADS as diluted earnings per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses and one-time tax levy/(benefit). We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding foreign exchange gain or loss, other income or expense, property and equipment impairment charges, goodwill impairment and share-based compensation expenses. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned “Supplementary Metrics—Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures” set forth at the end of this release.

 

 
 

 

The Company believes that in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its operating performance and liquidity. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical performance and liquidity. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating the business internally and therefore deems it important to provide all of these information to investors. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons to the Company’s historical performance.

 

One of the limitations of using adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per ADS, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is that they do not include all items that impact the Company’s net income for the relevant periods. They exclude certain items including share-based compensation charges that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business. In addition, the Company's EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in the same manner as the Company does. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
