THE COLONY, Texas, Feb. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — PIZZA INN, INC. (Nasdaq: PZZI – News) today reported a net income per share for its second fiscal quarter ended December 24, 2006 of $0.01 versus a net loss of ($0.06) per share for the same quarter last year. The quarter resulted in net income of $152,000 versus a net loss of ($601,000) for the same quarter last year on revenues of $12.4 million and $12.8 million, respectively.
* Comparable buffet restaurant sales increased 0.6% for the quarter.
Domestic chain-wide comparable restaurant sales decreased 1.3% for the
quarter.
* Total domestic chain-wide restaurant sales decreased 6% for the
quarter due to the decrease in comparable restaurant sales and a net
reduction in franchised restaurants.
* Excluding the impact of gains on sale of assets and rental income, the
Company's revenues decreased approximately 8%, or $1,028,000,
primarily due to the Company's recent decision to reduce the prices of
key food and supply products sold to franchisees through the Company's
distribution division, lower chain-wide restaurant sales, as discussed
above, lower cheese prices, and lower equipment sales. The resulting
reductions in food and supply sales and royalty revenue were partially
offset by increased restaurant sales at company-owned restaurants as a
result of the opening of three company-owned buffet restaurants in
fiscal year 2006.
* During the quarter, the Company incurred $375,000 of legal fees, as
compared to $442,000 in the prior year, which is reflected in general
and administrative expenses.
* During the quarter, the Company incurred non-cash stock compensation
expense of $55,000 as compared to $94,000 in the prior year, which is
reflected in general and administrative expenses.
* During the quarter, the Company recognized a $108,000 benefit from the
reduction to the provision for litigation costs due to the reduction
of accounts payable to PepsiCo as a result of the Company's recent
settlement with PepsiCo, which is broken out separately in the
statement of operations.
The Company’s President and CEO, Tim Taft, commented, “Much has been accomplished in the pursuit of turning around this brand. Franchisees report being healthier than they have been in a long while and, with the recent hiring of Charlie Morrison (CFO) and Susan Gray (Training, HR), we have a complete management team capable of significantly affecting our positive momentum.”
