CRACKER BARREL REPORTS RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2016, RAISES FULL-YEAR EARNINGS GUIDANCE, INCREASES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND AND DECLARES SPECIAL DIVIDEND

Positive Third Quarter Comparable Store Restaurant Sales and Retail Sales

Board Increases Quarterly Dividend to $1.15 per share and Declares Special Dividend of $3.25 per share

LEBANON, Tenn. June 1, 2016 – Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. (“Cracker Barrel” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CBRL) today reported financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 ended April 29, 2016.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 Highlights

 

    Compared to the prior year third quarter, comparable store restaurant sales increased 2.3% and comparable store retail sales increased 2.2%.

 

    Operating income was 9.6% of total revenue, compared to GAAP operating income of 8.1% in the prior year quarter, or 8.2% in the prior year quarter when adjusted to exclude the impact of a prior year litigation accrual. (See non-GAAP reconciliation below.)

 

    On a GAAP basis, earnings per diluted share were $2.04. Excluding the impact of a reduction of the provisions for uncertain tax positions, adjusted earnings per diluted share were $1.82, a 22% increase over adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.49 in the prior year.

Commenting on the third quarter results, Cracker Barrel President and Chief Executive Officer Sandra B. Cochran said, “During the third quarter, we had positive comparable store restaurant and retail sales growth, and continued to outperform the casual dining industry. With the reduction in commodity costs, and our management team’s focus on cost savings initiatives, we increased our operating income by nearly twenty percent. We are encouraged by our May sales results, which we believe have been driven in part by customer enthusiasm around our summer menu offerings.”

Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 Results

Revenue

The Company reported total revenue of $700.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2016, representing an increase of 2.4% over the third quarter of the prior year. Comparable store restaurant sales increased 2.3%, as a 2.9% increase in average check was partially offset by a 0.6% reduction in traffic. The average menu price increase for the quarter was approximately 2.8%. Comparable store retail sales increased 2.2% for the quarter.

The Company believes the Easter holiday shift between March and April resulted in a positive impact on comparable store traffic in March and a negative impact on comparable store traffic in April. Comparable store restaurant traffic, average check and comparable store restaurant and retail sales for the fiscal months of February, March and April, and for the third quarter were as follows:

 

     February     March     April     Third Quarter  

Comparable restaurant traffic

     0.2     0.7     -2.3     -0.6

Average check

     2.9     3.3     2.5     2.9

Comparable restaurant sales

     3.1     4.0     0.2     2.3

Comparable retail sales

     6.1     6.7     -3.6     2.2

Operating Income

Operating income for the third quarter was $67.0 million, or 9.6% of total revenue. GAAP operating income in the prior year quarter was 8.1% of total revenue, or 8.2% when adjusted to exclude the impact of a litigation accrual. As a percentage of total revenue, improvements in cost of goods sold, labor and related expenses, and general and administrative expenses were partially offset by an increase in other store operating expenses.

Diluted Earnings per Share

On a GAAP basis, earnings per diluted share were $2.04 versus $1.47 in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted to exclude the impact of a reduction of the provisions for uncertain tax positions, adjusted earnings per diluted share were $1.82, compared with adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.49 in the prior year quarter.

Quarterly Dividend Increase and Special Dividend

The Company announced that its Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend to $1.15 per share on the Company’s common stock, which represents a 4.5% increase over the Company’s previous quarterly dividend of $1.10. The quarterly dividend is payable on August 5, 2016 to shareholders of record on July 15, 2016.

The Board of Directors also declared a special dividend of $3.25 per share on the Company’s common stock. The special dividend is payable on July 29, 2016 to shareholders of record on July 15, 2016.

Commenting on the quarterly and special dividend, Ms. Cochran said, “We believe the increase in our quarterly dividend and the decision to declare a special dividend reflects our Board’s commitment to a balanced approach to capital allocation, and to an ongoing assessment of our financial results, capital investment and liquidity needs, and our ability to deliver total shareholder return.”

Fiscal 2016 Outlook

Based upon year-to-date financial performance, recent trends, and current estimates, the Company raised its full-year earnings guidance. For fiscal 2016, the Company now expects to report earnings per diluted share on a GAAP basis of between $7.75 and $7.85, and on an adjusted basis of between $7.45 and $7.55. The Company now expects to report increases in comparable store restaurant and retail sales in the range of 2.0% to 2.5%. The Company expects total revenue of between $2.90 billion and $2.95 billion, reflecting the expected opening of five new Cracker Barrel stores during the fiscal year.

The Company now projects food commodity inflation to be flat for the fiscal year. The Company projects operating income margin of approximately 9.5% of total revenue for fiscal 2016. The Company expects depreciation expense between $77 million and $78 million; net interest expense of approximately $14 million; and capital expenditures of between $100 million and $110 million. The Company now expects an effective tax rate for fiscal 2016 of approximately 29% on a GAAP basis, or approximately 31% on an adjusted basis.

The Company expects to report earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 of between $2.05 and $2.15. 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 Third Quarter Results

Page 10

June 1, 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 a reduction of the provisions for uncertain tax positions, the retroactive reinstatement 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.
