Louisville, Kentucky (August 2, 2005) - Papa John’s International, Inc. (Nasdaq: PZZA) today announced revenues of $242.1 million for the second quarter of 2005, representing an increase of 5.3% from revenues of $230.0 million for the same period in 2004. Net income for the second quarter of 2005 was $10.9 million, or $0.64 per share, (including a net loss of $117,000, or $0.01 per share, from the consolidation of the results of the franchisee-owned cheese purchasing company, BIBP Commodities, Inc. (BIBP), a variable interest entity) compared to last year’s net loss of $2.6 million, or a loss per share of $0.15 (including a net loss of $11.5 million, or $0.66 per share, from the consolidation of BIBP).

Revenues were $494.5 million for the six months ended June 26, 2005, representing an increase of 5.9% from revenues of $466.9 million for the same period in 2004. Net income for the six months ended June 26, 2005 was $20.8 million, or $1.24 per share (including a net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.06 per share, from the consolidation of BIBP), compared to last year’s net income of $5.9 million, or $0.33 per share (including a net loss of $12.5 million, or $0.70 per share, from the consolidation of BIBP). The 2005 operating results also include a Q1 pre-tax charge of $925,000 ($0.03 per share) associated with the closing of one of our commissary facilities.

Revenues Comparison

The primary factors impacting the year-over-year increases in revenues for the three- and six-month periods ended June 26, 2005 were an increase in comparable sales for our company-owned restaurants (see more detailed information below) and the favorable impact of higher commodity prices, primarily cheese, on commissary sales.

Operating Results and Cash Flow

Operating Results

Our pre-tax income for the second quarter of 2005 was $17.3 million compared to a pre-tax loss of $4.1 million for the corresponding period in 2004. For the six months ended June 26, 2005, pre-tax income was $33.1 million compared to $9.5 million for the corresponding period in 2004. Excluding the impact of the consolidation of BIBP, second quarter 2005 pre-tax income was $17.4 million, an increase of $3.2 million over 2004 comparable results, and pre-tax income for the six months ended June 26, 2005 was $34.9 million, an increase of $5.4 million over 2004 comparable results. The increase of $3.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively, in pre-tax income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 26, 2005 (excluding the consolidation of BIBP) is principally due to the following:

· Operating income at company-owned restaurants increased $3.8 million and $6.5 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 26, 2005, respectively, primarily due to fixed cost leverage associated with the noted increase in comparable sales for the corresponding periods and improved margin from an increase in restaurant pricing (including the impact of the previously announced delivery charge implementation for the majority of company-owned restaurants in June 2005), partially offset by increased commodity costs (principally cheese).

· Domestic franchising operating income increased $1.4 million and $2.3 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 26, 2005, respectively, primarily as a result of increased domestic unit openings and higher royalties from the noted increases in comparable sales for the corresponding periods.

2

· Commissary operating income increased $2.8 million and $4.2 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 26, 2005, respectively, primarily due to improved operating margin and lower administrative costs. The year-to-date 2005 operating income for the commissary reporting unit includes a Q1 pre-tax charge of $925,000 associated with the closing of the Jackson, Mississippi facility at the end of March 2005.

· The franchise insurance program (reported in the All Others segment information) incurred a loss of $150,000 and $475,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended June 26, 2005, respectively. This represented an improvement of approximately $1.0 million in pre-tax operating results for both the three- and six-month periods ended June 26, 2005, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods.

· The favorable year-over-year impact on operating income of the above items for both the three- and six-month periods was partially offset by an increase in unallocated corporate expenses of $5.8 million and $8.6 million, consisting primarily of an increase in bonuses of $1.9 million and $3.4 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 26, 2005, respectively, to business unit and corporate management for meeting pre-established performance goals, an increase in employee benefit costs of $1.6 million and $1.2 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 26, 2005, respectively, (primarily payroll taxes associated with stock option exercises, an increase in the amount of FICA taxes paid on employee tips and increased health insurance costs) and increased professional fees of $700,000 and $2.2 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 26, 2005, respectively, the majority of which related to consulting expenses associated with a project to improve the effectiveness and profitability of our franchisees. Additionally, the second quarter and year-to-date 2004 results included a $550,000 gain on the sale of unused property.

Cash Flow

Cash flow from operations increased to $37.8 million in the first six months of 2005 from $6.1 million for the comparable period in 2004. The consolidation of BIBP reduced cash flow from operations by approximately $1.8 million in 2005 and $20.0 million in 2004. The primary reasons for the $13.5 million increase in cash flow from operations in the first six months of 2005 (prior to BIBP consolidation) were the above noted increases in operating income, net of income taxes, and favorable working capital changes.

Form 10-Q Filing

See the Management Discussion & Analysis section of our second quarter Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 3, 2005 for additional information concerning the operating results and cash flows for the three- and six-month periods ended June 26, 2005.

Comparable Sales and Unit Count

As previously announced, domestic system-wide comparable sales for the second quarter increased 6.1% (composed of a 7.6% increase at company-owned restaurants and a 5.6% increase at franchised restaurants). The second quarter of 2005 featured two system-wide national promotions supported by national television as compared to one such promotion in the second quarter of 2004. The company noted that the previously announced June 2005 implementation of delivery fees at a majority of company-owned restaurants had a low single-digit favorable impact on comparable sales for the quarter. Total system-wide international sales increased 14.2% for the second quarter of 2005, on a constant U.S. dollar basis, over the comparable period in 2004, primarily as a result of additional franchised restaurants in 2005 as compared to 2004.

Domestic system-wide comparable sales for the first six months of 2005 increased 4.9% (composed of a 5.7% increase at company-owned restaurants and a 4.6% increase at franchised restaurants). Total system-wide international sales increased 13.5% for the six months ended June 2005, on a constant U.S. dollar basis, over the comparable period in 2004.

The company today announced that domestic system-wide comparable sales for the four weeks ended July 24, 2005 increased approximately 2.7% (composed of a 8.0% increase at company-owned restaurants and a 1.0% increase at franchised restaurants). The company expects delivery charges to have a low-to-mid single-digit favorable impact on comparable sales until such time as the implementation date is lapped in June 2006. The company also announced today that the domestic system has voted to increase the contribution rate into the national marketing fund, as a percentage of unit sales, effective as of January 2006 (from the current 2.25% level to 2.60%). Total system-wide international sales for the four weeks ended July 24, 2005 increased 15.1%, on a constant U.S. dollar basis, over the comparable period last year.

During the second quarter of 2005, 55 domestic and international restaurants were opened (one company-owned and 52 franchised Papa John’s restaurants and two franchised Perfect Pizza restaurants in the United Kingdom) and 25 restaurants closed (24 franchised Papa John’s restaurants and one franchised Perfect Pizza restaurant). For the first six months of 2005, 96 domestic and international restaurants were opened (two company-owned and 91 franchised Papa John’s restaurants and three franchised Perfect Pizza restaurants) and 54 restaurants closed (48 franchised Papa John’s restaurants and six franchised Perfect Pizza restaurants). At June 26, 2005, there were 2,875 Papa John’s restaurants (571 company-owned and 2,304 franchised) operating in 49 states and 19 countries. The company is also the franchisor of 114 Perfect Pizza restaurants in the United Kingdom.

4

Share Repurchase Activity

The company did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the second quarter of 2005 and has not repurchased any shares subsequent to June 26, 2005. The company repurchased 403,000 shares of common stock at an average price of $34.56 per share during the first quarter of 2005. The company’s board of directors has authorized the repurchase of up to an aggregate $450.0 million of common stock through December 25, 2005. Through March 27, 2005, $434.5 million of common stock had been repurchased (representing 16.1 million shares at an average price of $26.95 per share) since the program began in 1999. Approximately 17.0 million actual shares were outstanding as of June 26, 2005, an increase of approximately 425,000 shares since March 27, 2005, due to second-quarter stock option exercise activity.

The company’s share repurchase activity during the past twelve months increased earnings per share by approximately $0.03 for the second quarter of 2005 and $0.06 on a year-to-date basis.

Update of 2005 Earnings Guidance

In connection with the first-quarter earnings release, the company previously announced an increase in the 2005 earnings per share guidance to a range of $2.35 to $2.41, excluding the impact from the required consolidation of BIBP. Based upon actual second-quarter operating results and July sales results, the company is now further increasing its 2005 EPS guidance to a range of $2.42 to $2.48. The favorable impact of the year-to-date results on full-year 2005 earnings is expected to be somewhat mitigated by the company’s plans to spend approximately $2.0 million to $3.0 million for certain marketing and other operational initiatives during the last half of 2005 on behalf of the domestic system, with resulting benefits expected to appear primarily in 2006.

The updated full-year 2005 guidance assumes that domestic comparable sales will increase 4% to 6% for the year and domestic company-owned restaurant operating margin will approximate 19.0% to 21.0% for the full year. Additionally, commissary and other operating margin is expected to approximate 8.5% to 9.0% for the full year and G&A expenses are expected to approximate 8.5% to 9.0% of total revenues for the full year. Other general expenses are expected to approximate $5.5 to $6.0 million, a $2.5 million increase from previous guidance as a result of the above-noted plans related to certain marketing and other operational initiatives. There are no other significant changes in the assumptions we provided in our press release dated December 15, 2004.

Based on actual results to date and current Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) milk futures market prices for the remainder of the year, the consolidation of BIBP is currently expected to increase full-year 2005 pre-tax income approximately $3.9 million (including the $1.8 million pre-tax loss incurred in the first six months of 2005) or $0.15 per share. Accordingly, the 2005 earnings guidance including the expected impact from the consolidation of BIBP is projected to be in the $2.57 to $2.63 per share range. The inherit volatility in the cheese spot market and milk futures market can lead to similar volatility in projecting the impact of the consolidation of BIBP on the company’s financial results. Accordingly, we will continue to update these projections on a quarterly basis.

Forward-Looking Statements

Except for historical information, this announcement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements reflect management's expectations based upon currently available information and data; however, actual results are subject to future events and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to materially differ from those projected in these statements. Certain factors that can cause actual results to materially differ include: the uncertainties associated with litigation; increases in advertising, promotions and discounting by competitors, which may adversely affect sales; new product and concept developments by food industry competitors; the ability of the company and its franchisees to open new restaurants and operate new and existing restaurants profitably; increases in or sustained high levels of food, labor, utilities, fuel, employee benefits, insurance and similar costs; the ability to obtain ingredients from alternative suppliers, if needed; health- or disease-related disruptions or consumer concerns about the commodities supplies; economic, political and health conditions in the countries in which the company or its franchisees operate; the selection and availability of suitable restaurant locations; negotiation of suitable lease or financing terms; constraints on permitting and construction of restaurants; higher-than-anticipated construction costs; hiring, training and retention of management and other personnel; changes in consumer taste, demographic trends, traffic patterns and the type, number and location of competing restaurants; federal and state laws governing such matters as wages, working conditions, citizenship requirements and overtime; and labor shortages in various markets resulting in higher required wage rates. The above factors might be especially harmful to the financial viability of franchisees in under-penetrated or emerging markets, leading to greater unit closings than anticipated. Increases in projected claims losses for the company’s self-insured coverage or within the captive franchise insurance program could have a significant impact on our operating results. Our international operations are subject to additional factors, including currency regulations and fluctuations; differing cultures and consumer preferences; diverse government regulations and structures; ability to source high-quality ingredients and other commodities in a cost-effective manner; and differing interpretation of the obligations established in franchise agreements with international franchisees. Further information regarding factors that could affect the company's financial and other results is included in the company's Forms 10-Q and 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
