HOUSTON, TX - April 13, 2016 - Luby’s, Inc. (NYSE: LUB) (“Luby’s”) today announced unaudited financial results for its twelve-week second quarter fiscal 2016, which ended on March 9, 2016. Certain comparisons for second quarter fiscal 2016 are relative to the prior-year twelve-week period that ended March 11, 2015, instead of the second quarter fiscal 2015, which ended February 11, 2015. Comparisons in this press release for the second quarter fiscal year 2016 are referred to as “second quarter.”

Second Quarter Highlights
Same-store sales increased 2.2%
Luby’s Cafeterias same-store sales increased 3.1%
Fuddruckers same-store sales were level year-over-year
Cheeseburger in Paradise same-store sales increased 4.2%
Revenue grew in each business segment: Company-owned restaurants, Culinary Contract Services, and Franchise operations
Store level profit increased to 14.8%, as a percent of restaurant sales, from 13.5% during the comparable 12 weeks last year
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $4.7 million compared to $3.3 million during the comparable 12 weeks last year

Chris Pappas, President and CEO, commented, “Solid same-store sales growth coupled with expanded store-level profit margins, as well as revenue growth in our Culinary Contract Services and Franchise operations, drove Adjusted EBITDA improvement in the second quarter. In addition, year to date Adjusted EBITDA was $10.4 million compared to $6.6 million last year, an increase of 57%. Our team continues to execute on our strategy to enhance store level performance across all of our brands with defined processes throughout the organization. We remain focused on the key drivers of our businesses to achieve operational excellence of our brands and to efficiently manage costs to grow profitability and enhance shareholder value.”

Restaurant sales in the second quarter increased to $86.3 million, an increase of 2.2% versus the comparable 12 weeks of fiscal 2015.

Luby’s Cafeterias sales increased $0.8 million versus the comparable 12 weeks of fiscal 2015, due to a 3.1% increase in Luby’s same-store sales offset by the closure of three locations. The 3.1% increase was the result of a 4.7% increase in guest traffic offset by a 1.5% decrease in average spend per guest.

Fuddruckers sales increased $0.9 million versus the comparable 12 weeks of fiscal 2015, due to a net increase of five operating Fuddruckers restaurants. Fuddruckers same-store sales were unchanged year-over-year due to a 3.0% increase in average spend offset by a similar 3.0% decrease in guest traffic.

Combo location sales increased marginally and represented 6.1% of total restaurant sales in the first quarter. The addition of our sixth Combo location was offset by a net decrease in sales at other Combo locations.

Cheeseburger in Paradise sales increased 4.2%, with all eight Cheeseburger in Paradise locations in operation included in our same-store grouping.

Store level profit, defined as restaurant sales plus vending revenue less cost of food, payroll and related costs, other operating expenses, and occupancy costs, was $12.7 million, or 14.8% of restaurant sales, in the second quarter compared to $11.4 million, or 13.5% of restaurant sales, during the comparable 12 weeks of fiscal 2015. Lower overall cost of food, payroll and related costs, and operating expenses led to this increase in profitability. Store level profit is a non-GAAP measure, and reconciliation to income from continuing operations is presented after the financial statements.

Culinary Contract Services revenues increased to $3.9 million with 28 operating locations in the second quarter compared to $3.8 million with 24 operating locations during the comparable 12 weeks of fiscal 2015. Culinary profit was 10.2% of Culinary Contract Services sales in the second quarter and 10.6% in the comparable 12-week period of fiscal 2015. Both quarters exceeded our profit targets for the business segment.

Franchise revenue increased 8.4% versus the comparable 12-week period of fiscal 2015. In the second quarter, one international franchisee opened a location in Panama.

Income from continuing operations was a loss of $0.6 million, or a loss of $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $1.3 million, or a loss of $0.04 per diluted share, in the second quarter fiscal 2015. Excluding special items, loss from continuing operations was $0.9 million, or a loss of $0.03 per diluted share, in the second quarter compared to a loss of $2.1 million, or a loss of $0.07 per diluted share, in the second quarter fiscal 2015.

Although store level profit, defined as restaurant sales plus vending revenue, less cost of food, payroll and related costs, other operating expenses, and occupancy costs is a non-GAAP measure, we believe its presentation is useful because it explicitly shows the results of our most significant reportable segment.   The following table reconciles between store level profit, a non-GAAP measure to loss from continuing operations, a GAAP measure:

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest, provision (benefit) for income taxes and depreciation and amortization and excluding net gain (loss) on disposing of property and equipment, provision for asset impairments, non-cash compensation expense, and other income (expense).
Adjusted EBITDA is intended as a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to management and investors in valuing the Company and evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our results to other competitors. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating management's performance when determining incentive compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as computed by other companies. These measures should be considered supplemental and not a substitute or superior to other GAAP performance measures.
