CRACKER BARREL REPORTS RESULTS FOR SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2016

AND INCREASES EARNINGS GUIDANCE FOR FISCAL 2016

Positive Comparable Store Restaurant Sales and Retail Sales in the Quarter

LEBANON, Tenn.February 23, 2016 – Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. (“Cracker Barrel” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CBRL) today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 ended January 29, 2016.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2016 Highlights

 

    Compared to the prior year second quarter, comparable store restaurant sales increased 0.6% and comparable store retail sales increased 2.6%.

 

    Operating income margin was 9.2% of total revenue compared to GAAP operating income of 9.4% in the prior year quarter, or 9.7% when adjusted to exclude the impact of a litigation accrual. (See non-GAAP reconciliation below.)

 

    On a GAAP basis, earnings per diluted share were $2.01 versus $1.96 in the prior fiscal year. Results for the current and prior year fiscal quarters each reflect the retroactive reinstatement of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (“WOTC”). Adjusting for these WOTC impacts and the prior year litigation accrual, adjusted earnings per diluted share in the current year quarter were $1.91 compared to $1.93 in the prior year quarter.

Commenting on the second quarter results, Cracker Barrel President and Chief Executive Officer Sandra B. Cochran said, “We continued to deliver positive comparable store sales in the second quarter, continued to outperform our casual dining industry peers, and delivered earnings at the high end of our expectations. During the second half of the fiscal year, our focus will be on providing honest everyday value to our guests, increasing brand awareness, and bringing new and unique menu items to market. We believe that the strength of our brand, as well as our marketing, menu, and cost reduction initiatives, position us to compete effectively in this challenging environment.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2016 Results

Revenue

The Company reported total revenue of $764.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2016, representing an increase of 1.1% over the second quarter of the prior year. Comparable store restaurant sales increased 0.6%, as a 3.4% increase in average check was partially offset by a 2.8% reduction in traffic. The average menu price increase for the quarter was approximately 2.9%. Comparable store retail sales increased 2.6% for the quarter. The Company believes that severe winter weather negatively impacted its comparable store traffic and sales in January by approximately 1.9%, and in the second quarter by approximately 0.6%.

Comparable store restaurant traffic, average check and comparable store restaurant and retail sales for the fiscal months of November, December and January and for the second quarter were as follows:

 

     November     December     January     Second Quarter  

Comparable restaurant traffic

     -2.7     -2.9     -2.6     -2.8

Average check

     3.5     3.5     2.9     3.4

Comparable restaurant sales

     0.8     0.6     0.3     0.6

Comparable retail sales

     3.8     2.5     1.5     2.6

Operating Income

Operating income for the second quarter was $70.5 million, or 9.2% of total revenue. GAAP operating income in the prior year quarter was 9.4% of total revenue, or 9.7% when adjusted to exclude the impact of a litigation accrual. As a percentage of total revenue, increases in other store operating expenses were partially offset by a reduction in labor and related expenses.

Diluted Earnings per Share

On a GAAP basis, earnings per diluted share were $2.01 versus $1.96 in the prior fiscal year. Results for the current and prior year fiscal quarters each reflect the retroactive reinstatement of WOTC. Adjusting for these impacts and the prior year litigation accrual, adjusted earnings per diluted share in the current year quarter were $1.91 compared to $1.93 in the prior year quarter.

Fiscal 2016 Outlook

The Company raised its fiscal year earnings guidance for fiscal 2016 to reflect expected moderation in food commodity prices and the anticipated tax benefit of WOTC. The Company now expects to report adjusted earnings per diluted share for the 2016 fiscal year of between $7.40 and $7.50. The Company

expects to report increases in comparable store restaurant sales and comparable store retail sales in the range of 1.5% to 2.5%. The Company expects total revenue of between $2.90 billion and $2.95 billion, reflecting the expected opening of five or six new Cracker Barrel stores during the fiscal year. The Company projects food commodity inflation of approximately 1.0% for the fiscal year. The Company now projects adjusted operating income margin of approximately 9.5% of total revenue for fiscal 2016. The Company expects depreciation expense between $76 million and $77 million; net interest expense between $14 million and $15 million; and capital expenditures of between $90 million and $100 million. The Company expects an effective tax rate for fiscal 2016 of between 30% and 31%.

The Company expects to report earnings per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 of between $1.70 and $1.80. The Company reminds investors that its outlook for fiscal 2016 reflects a number of assumptions, many of which are outside the Company’s control.

Cracker Barrel Reports Second Quarter Results

Page 10

February 23, 2016

 

CRACKER BARREL OLD COUNTRY STORE, INC.

Reconciliation of GAAP basis operating

results to adjusted non-GAAP operating results

(Unaudited and in thousands)

In the accompanying press release the Company makes reference to As Adjusted general and administrative expenses, operating income, provision for taxes and net income per share before the impact of the retroactive restatement of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit and the prior year Fair Labor Standards Act litigation. The Company believes that excluding these items and their related tax effects from its financial results reflects operating results that are more indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance while improving comparability to prior periods, and, as such, may provide investors with an enhanced understanding of the Company’s past financial performance and prospects for the future. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income or earnings per share information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
