CBRL GROUP, INC. ANNOUNCES INCREASE IN DILUTED NET INCOME PER SHARE
FOR FISCAL 2006 FOURTH QUARTER
Announces Full-Year Fiscal 2006 Results
Provides Fiscal 2007 Outlook
 

LEBANON, Tenn. (September 19, 2006) -- CBRL Group, Inc. (“CBRL” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CBRL) today announced results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended July 28, 2006, reporting diluted net income per share of $1.03, a 39.2% increase from $0.74 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. Diluted net income per share for the quarter benefited from the Company’s recent recapitalization, in which it repurchased approximately 35% of its outstanding shares financed by a new $725 million term loan, and from a lower income tax rate. For the full year, the Company reported diluted net income per share of $2.50 compared with $2.45 in fiscal 2005.
 
        Highlights of the 2006 fourth-quarter and full-year results include:
      
Comparable store restaurant sales for the fourth quarter were down 3.0% for Cracker Barrel Old Country StoreÒ (“Cracker Barrel”), while comparable store retail sales at Cracker Barrel were down 4.9%
Comparable restaurant sales for the fourth quarter were flat for Logan’s Roadhouse® (“Logan’s”)
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of $671 million was up 1.7% from the year-ago quarter 
Operating income margin in the fourth quarter was 8.9% of total revenues compared to 9.0% in the year-ago quarter
Net income and diluted net income per share for the fourth quarter were $35.8 million and $1.03, respectively, compared to net income of $37.6 million and diluted net income per share of $0.74 in the prior-year comparable period. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 was the first quarter that fully reflected the Company’s recent recapitalization, which had the effect of reducing net income due to higher interest on additional debt, while increasing diluted net income per share due to a reduction in the number of shares outstanding

Full year diluted net income per share for 2006 was $2.50, an increase of 2.0% over 2005, on a 2.9% increase in total revenue. 

Commenting on the quarter, CBRL Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Michael A. Woodhouse said, “Fiscal 2006 was a difficult year from a revenue perspective due to both internal and external factors, including last fall’s devastating hurricane season and the continuing pressure on consumer discretionary income as gasoline prices soared to record levels. Despite these challenges, we are quite pleased to have achieved the solid results reported today. More importantly, we are making progress on improving our future results as we lap last year’s difficult environment and begin to see the benefits from our efforts, especially in our retail operations, and from our recapitalization initiatives.”
 
Fourth-Quarter Fiscal 2006 Results
 
Revenue
Total revenue for the fourth quarter ended July 28, 2006 of $671.1 million increased 1.7% from the fourth quarter of 2005. Comparable store restaurant sales at Cracker Barrel for the period decreased 3.0%, including a 1.0% higher average check, while guest traffic declined 4.0%. Cracker Barrel’s average menu price increase for the quarter was approximately 0.9% compared with last year. Comparable store retail sales at Cracker Barrel decreased 4.9% for the quarter. At Logan’s, comparable restaurant sales for the quarter were flat, as the average check increased 1.7% while guest traffic declined 1.7%. Logan’s average menu price increased approximately 1.7 % during the fourth quarter compared with last year. During the quarter, the Company opened four new Cracker Barrel units, and seven new Logan’s company-operated restaurants.
 
Income
Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2006 of $60.0 million was 8.9% of total revenue compared to $59.5 million, or 9.0% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $35.8 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $37.6 million, or $0.74 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2005. In fiscal 2006, the Company began expensing stock options, recording in the fourth quarter $2.3 million of expense before income taxes (0.4% of revenues) that was not reflected in the year earlier quarter. Other expense items affecting fourth quarter results related to the Company’s recapitalization, including interest expense, the planned divestiture of Logan’s, previously announced severance expenses at Cracker Barrel, and higher utilities expenses and retail cost of goods sold. Margins were also adversely impacted by the effect of softer sales. Offsetting these unfavorable effects were lower food cost of goods sold reflecting favorable commodity costs, improved menu pricing and reduced waste. The Company also benefited from improved hourly labor and workers’ compensation expense, including the effects of reduced actuarial estimates of losses, favorable gift card breakage, lower advertising expense, and lower annual bonus accruals. Other favorable items include gains on the disposition of certain of the locations closed by the Company in the third fiscal quarter and insurance recoveries from last year’s hurricane season. Net income benefited from lower effective state and local income tax rates, completion of a

federal audit and higher than expected tax credits. Diluted net income per share reflected fewer shares outstanding compared with the year-ago period as a result of the recapitalization earlier in the fiscal year.
 
Full-Year Fiscal 2006 Results
 
Full year fiscal 2006 revenue of $2.6 billion increased 2.9% from 2005. Comparable store restaurant sales year-to-date for Cracker Barrel decreased 1.1%, including a 2.1% higher average check, while guest traffic declined by 3.2%. Comparable store retail sales at Cracker Barrel decreased 8.1% for the year. Logan’s fiscal 2006 comparable restaurant sales increased 0.8%, as average check increased 2.4%, while guest traffic declined 1.6%. In 2006, the Company opened 21 new Cracker Barrel units and 20 new Logan’s company-operated restaurants while franchisees opened an additional two new Logan’s franchised restaurants.
 
The Company reported net income for 2006 of $116.3 million, or $2.50 per diluted share, compared to net income of $126.6 million, or $2.45 per diluted share, for 2005. Fiscal 2006 results included stock option expense of approximately $6.9 million after income taxes, or $0.15 per diluted share. In addition, during fiscal 2006, the Company had incurred expenses for store closings and impairment charges net of the gains on disposition of certain of those properties, expenses related to the implementation of the Company’s strategic initiatives including higher interest expense, organizational restructuring expenses, and higher utilities expenses. The Company benefited during the year from a favorable commodities environment, lower hourly labor and workers’ compensation expense, as well as a lower effective income tax rate and fewer shares outstanding.
 
The Company urges caution in considering its current trends and the outlook disclosed in this press release. The restaurant industry is highly competitive, and trends and guidance are subject to numerous factors and influences, some of which are discussed in the cautionary language at the end of this press release. The Company disclaims any obligations to update disclosed information on trends or targets other than in its periodic filings on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The Company commented on its outlook for fiscal 2007 and announced that it is adopting a practice of providing guidance on full fiscal year targets rather than quarterly expectations or objectives. The Company noted that its outlook reflects many assumptions, many of which cannot be known, including, very importantly, sales expectations and the effects of a possible Logan’s divestiture. In anticipation of divesting Logan’s during fiscal 2007, the Company’s outlook addresses expectations for results of continuing operations for Cracker Barrel, excluding Logan’s, and can be compared to the pro-forma historical results from continuing operations for Cracker Barrel, excluding Logan’s, presented in the financial tables at the end of this release. The Company presently expects fiscal 2007 total revenues from Cracker Barrel of approximately $2.4 billion, reflecting opening 19-20 new Cracker Barrel stores during the year, full-year comparable store restaurant sales that are flat to up 2% and full-year

comparable store retail sales that are up 7-9% compared to prior year (on a comparable week basis), and the benefit of an estimated $45-50 million in sales from a 53rd week in fiscal 2007. The Company presently expects fiscal 2007 operating income margins from continuing operations to be flat to 0.2% of revenues higher than in fiscal 2006. The Company’s margin expectations reflect lower food and retail product costs and the non-recurrence of certain impairment and store closing costs incurred in fiscal 2006, partly offset by higher marketing expenses. Certain expenses related to the Company’s strategic initiatives begun in fiscal 2006 will continue into fiscal 2007. The Company expects the effect of the 53rd week to be margin neutral, including the impact of plans for additional spending to support advertising tests during the year. The Company presently expects fiscal 2007 capital expenditures of up to $115 million, excluding Logan’s.
 
Commenting on the outlook, Mr. Woodhouse said, “Fiscal 2007 will be a transition year for CBRL. We believe that we are in the final stages of the Logan’s divestiture which will leave only the potential refinancing of our existing convertible debt to conclude the strategic initiatives we began in Fiscal 2006. While the exact timing of the expected divestiture, the exact amount to be received, and the use of the proceeds are still to be determined, we are completely focused on Cracker Barrel’s future with a leadership team that brings considerable industry and functional experience to the task. We expect high single-digit percentage revenue growth from same store sales improvements and new store openings, as well as a 53rd week, and flat to slightly improved operating margins. We are investing to sustain the strength of our brand and to create long-term shareholder value.”

The Company provided certain full-year and/or quarterly historical CBRL operating results, excluding Logan’s, at the end of this press release. Also included for 2006 are pro forma depreciation and amortization expense and capital expenditures, excluding Logan’s.
