Additional discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations can be found in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2012. It is available at www.logansroadhouse.com under the investor relations section.
Thomas Vogel, President, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Logan's Roadhouse, Inc., stated, "Our fourth quarter and fiscal year results reflect a challenging economic and competitive environment, as well as the operational challenges we face with commodity inflation and sales deleveraging. Traffic growth remains our top priority and we have focused our efforts on operational execution, menu innovation, traffic building messages, and refreshing our bars where we are encouraged to have gained traction in driving increased alcohol sales."
Mr. Vogel concluded, "In view of the current environment, we are taking a conservative approach to managing our business and capital structure. We have already proactively amended our credit agreement so that we can maintain adequate cushions in our financial covenants and we have also limited restaurant development to approximately 15 restaurants in fiscal year 2013 compared to 19 openings in fiscal year 2012. We intend to continue funding our growth through operating cash flows and lease financing to protect our balance sheet and ensure that we can meet all of our financial obligations. And while we are certainly disappointed to have incurred goodwill and restaurant impairment charges during the fourth quarter, these non-cash charges in no way affect our day to day operations, cash balances, or operating cash flows."

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 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 Restaurant Operating Margin, 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.
Restaurant Operating Margin
Restaurant operating margin represents net sales less (a) cost of goods sold, (b) labor and other related expenses, (c) occupancy costs and (d) other restaurant operating expenses, divided by net sales. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net sales to restaurant operating margin:
