Selected Highlights for the First Quarter 2012 Compared to the Combined First Quarter 2011:
- Opened seven new restaurants.
- Net sales increased 6.0% to $143.8 million from $135.6 million.
- Comparable store sales declined 1.7%, as a 3.8% increase in average check was more than fully offset by a decline in customer traffic.
- Net loss of $3.3 million compared to a net loss of $6.3 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA decreased 13.5% to $13.3 million from $15.4 million. (*)
(*) Please see reconciliation table at the end of this release.
Thomas Vogel, President, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Logan's Roadhouse, Inc., stated, "While our top-line benefited from the sales contributions of our new openings, we attribute the decrease in comparable store sales and customer traffic to the economic uncertainty facing our core customer base. From a margin standpoint, higher commodity costs also pressured restaurant-level profitability during the quarter. Despite these near term challenges, we remain focused on reinforcing our value proposition and executing our brand strategies to deliver consistent EBITDA growth over time."
Mr. Vogel concluded, "Our new units continue to generate solid returns, which gives us confidence in our self-funded development plan for this year. While we will remain prudent in our use of capital, we are pleased with the real estate opportunities we are seeing, and as a result, we expect to open 20 Company restaurants in fiscal 2012."
Additional discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations can be found in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended October 30, 2011. It is available at www.logansroadhouse.com under the investor relations section.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains statements about future events and expectations that constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "plan," "seek," "will," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe" or the negative thereof or similar terminology. These statements are based on management's beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future financial and operating performance and growth plans, taking into account the information currently available. These statements are not statements of historical fact. Examples of forward-looking statements in this press release include our targets for future new unit growth. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from the expectations of future results we express or imply in any forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on such statements. Please refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, and subsequent periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for a discussion of risk factors that may contribute to these differences. Any forward-looking information presented herein is made only as of the date of this supplemental report, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release also contains non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDAR, and the Combined presentation of the Predecessor and Successor periods of fiscal year 2011. The Company believes that these measures, together with reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure, are helpful to both management and investors in understanding and analyzing financial performance. However, the Company's non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures and the Combined presentation for fiscal year 2011 have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures.
To the extent we discuss any non-GAAP financial measures on the earnings call, a reconciliation of each measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is available in this press release. In addition, the Current Report on Form 8-K furnished to the SEC concurrent with the issuance of this press release includes a more detailed description of each of these non-GAAP financial measures, together with a discussion of the usefulness and purpose of such measures.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR.

(a) Prior to the completion of the Transactions (as defined in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), sponsor management fees consisted of fees paid to our previous owners under a management and consulting services agreement, which was terminated in connection with the completion of the Transactions. Following the completion of the Transactions, sponsor management fees consist of fees paid to our current private equity sponsor under an advisory agreement.
(b) Loss on disposal of property and equipment consists of the loss on disposal or retirement of assets that are not fully depreciated.
(c) Pre-opening expenses (excluding rent) include expenses directly associated with the opening of a new restaurant.
(d) Hedging gain relates to fair market value changes of an interest rate swap. The interest rate swap was terminated in connection with the Transactions.
(e) We recognize losses in connection with the sale and leaseback of restaurants when the fair value of the property being sold is less than the undepreciated cost of the property.
(f) Non-cash rent adjustments represent the non-cash rent expense calculated as the difference between GAAP rent expense and amounts payable in cash under the leases during such time period. In measuring our operational performance, we focus on our cash rent payments.
(g) Costs related to the Transactions include: expenses related to business combination accounting recognized in connection with the Transactions, a one-time fee of $7.0 million paid to our current private equity sponsor and legal, professional, and other fees incurred as a result of the Transactions.
(h) Non-cash stock-based compensation represents compensation expense recognized for time-based stock options issued by our ultimate parent company.
(i) Other adjustments include ongoing expenses of closed restaurants, as well as inventory write-offs, employee termination buyouts and incidental charges related to restaurant closings.
(j) Cash rent expense represents actual cash payments required under our leases.
