VICORP Restaurants, Inc. Announces

Fiscal Second Quarter 2007 Results

DENVER, CO (May 31, 2007) – VICORP Restaurants, Inc., today announced financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended April 19, 2007.  Net revenues for the second quarter of 2007 were $110.0 million, a 3.6% increase from net revenues of $106.2 million reported in the second quarter of 2006. The increase in the net revenue resulted from a 38.5% increase in manufacturing sales to third parties as well as sales at the 16 new restaurants, net of closures, opened or acquired since the end of the second quarter of 2006.  Comparable restaurant sales for the second quarter of 2007 declined 3.4% versus the previous year’s second quarter.  Comparable restaurant sales for Village Inn and Bakers Square decreased 1.2% and 5.6%, respectively.  The net loss for the second quarter of 2007 was $7.4 million versus net loss of $1.3 million in the comparable period of 2006.  Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA” – as calculated in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR and discussed further below under the caption entitled “Factors Affecting Comparability and Non-GAAP Financial Information”) for the second quarter of 2007 was $5.8 million versus $11.1 million for the second quarter of 2006.

Operating loss was $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2007 versus operating profit of $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2006, principally due to lower restaurant operating profit.  Food cost as a percentage of restaurant sales was higher at 26.6% in the second quarter of 2007 versus 25.1% in the comparable period of 2006.  Percentage restaurant food cost increased in the second quarter of 2007 primarily due to commodity cost increases, including the cost of eggs and vegetables throughout the quarter, as well as due to the impact of certain food quality upgrade initiatives introduced at Bakers Square throughout 2007 to-date.  Labor costs as a percentage of restaurant sales increased to 35.3% in 2007 versus 34.0% in the comparable quarter of 2006.  Labor costs increased as a percentage of restaurant sales partially due to negative leverage associated with year-over-year store-level wage increases during a quarter of same store sales decline, certain state minimum wage increases, as well as the somewhat higher percentage labor costs associated with the significant number of restaurants opened over recent quarters. Other operating expenses increased by 1.0 pts to 30.1% of restaurant sales primarily due to increased occupancy expenses in the second quarter of 2007, largely due to the negative leverage associated with normal increases in occupancy costs relative to the decline in comparable restaurant sales, as well as higher percentage occupancy costs associated with the immature newly opened restaurants.

During the second quarter of 2007 the Company opened three new Village Inn restaurants in existing markets, bringing total year-to-date openings to eight restaurants.  In total, we expect to open nine new restaurants in fiscal 2007, all in the Village Inn brand.  Year-to-date, capital expenditures were $5.2 million.  Capital expenditures for fiscal 2007 across all expenditure areas currently are projected at approximately $13.0 million.

Year-to-date net revenues through the second quarter of 2007 were $229.1 million, an increase of 4.9% over the $218.3 million reported in 2006, primarily due to the 60% increase in manufacturing sales to third parties during the comparable year-to-date periods, as well as incremental sales at the 16 net newly opened restaurants since the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2006.  Comparable restaurant sales for fiscal 2007 declined 3.7% versus fiscal 2006.  Comparable restaurant sales for Village Inn decreased 2.3%, while Bakers Square comparable restaurant sales decreased 5.0%.  Net loss for the year-to-date through the second quarter 2007 was $8.5 million versus $1.2 million in the comparable period in 2006.  Adjusted EBITDA was $16.2 million for year-to-date 2007, versus $23.7 million for year-to-date 2006.

Factors Affecting Comparability and Non-GAAP Financial Information

Our fiscal year is comprised of 52 or 53 weeks divided into four fiscal quarters of 12 or 13, 12, 12, and 16 weeks.  Our second quarter of both fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 were comprised of 12 weeks, or 84 days.  Fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 consist of 52 weeks, or 364 total days.

We believe that, in addition to other financial measures, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDAR” are appropriate indicators to assist in the evaluation of our operating performance because they provide additional information with respect to our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital needs and are used by securities analysts and others in evaluating companies in our industry.  However, “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDAR” are not prescribed terms under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, do not directly correlate to cash provided by or used in operating activities and should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to more meaningful measures of performance determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDAR” are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Refer to the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial performance measures to the GAAP measures and other information.
