- Net sales increased 4.5% to $150.3 million from $143.8 million.
- Comparable restaurant sales declined 2.3% as an average check increase of 2.4%, was more than offset by a customer traffic decrease of 4.5%.
- Net loss of $10.1 million compared to a net loss of $3.3 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA decreased 9.3% to $12.1 million from $13.3 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, "Our results in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 were largely in line with recent periods, as negative comparable store sales de-leveraged our restaurant operating profit and resulted in lower Adjusted EBITDA contribution compared to the prior-year period. While the economic sensitivities of our guest base are impacting our ability to rebuild traffic, we are making strategic progress to improve the differentiation and effectiveness of our advertising, and we have been successful in increasing our alcohol sales through our bar refresh program. We are hopeful that over time, these efforts will lead to attracting new guests and encouraging more repeat visits."
Mr. Vogel concluded, "We are executing on our operations and business initiatives and believe that we are employing the appropriate strategies to strengthen the Logan's Roadhouse brand over the long term. Our development plans are centered on backfilling existing markets, and we plan to open 13 restaurants this year, which will all be funded through operating cash flows and lease financing. We are facing our near term challenges head-on and feel confident in our positioning and long term opportunities."

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 and the expectation that our new restaurants will be funded through operating cash flows and lease financing. 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2012, and subsequent periodic reports that we have 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 press release, 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, and Adjusted EBITDAR. 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 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.
