Second-Quarter Fiscal 2005 Results

Total revenue for the second fiscal quarter ended January 28, 2005 of $667.2 million increased 8.9% from the second fiscal quarter of 2004. Comparable store restaurant sales for the second quarter for the Cracker Barrel concept increased 3.2%, including a 4.1% higher average check but 0.9% lower guest traffic. Cracker Barrel's average menu price increase for the full quarter was approximately 3.1%, including approximately 1.7% in menu pricing taken in January of last year and lapped during January this year. Comparable store retail sales at Cracker Barrel decreased 0.3% for the quarter. Logan's comparable restaurant sales for the quarter were up 4.4% as average check increased 4.0% and guest traffic increased 0.4%. Logan's carried approximately 3.3% of menu price increase during the quarter. During the quarter, the Company opened five new Cracker Barrel units, four new company-operated Logan's locations and two new franchised Logan's restaurants.

The Company reported net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 of $32.6 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, up 13.7% and 18.9%, respectively, from estimated restated net income of $28.6 million and estimated restated diluted net income per share of $0.53 for the second quarter of fiscal 2004. In the second quarter, the Company has determined that it is likely to incur To become subject to and liable for; to have liabilities imposed by act or operation of law.

The Company also repurchased approximately 1.2 million shares of its common stock during the quarter for approximately $47.2 million.

The Company announced that its results reflected certain restatements of historical period results. As announced in its November November: see month.  18, 2004 press release, the Company's second-quarter diluted net income per share calculation includes the effect of implementing EITF Issue No. 04-8, which requires accounting for the Company's contingently convertible debt using "if-converted" accounting regardless of whether the contingency contingency n. an event that might not occur.  allowing debt holders to convert is met. As previously announced, the Company implemented the rule change in reporting its second fiscal quarter results, and it has restated previous years to reflect the effect of the rule change on prior periods. Additionally, the Company has changed its current and historical accounting for certain leases to conform with changes recently adopted by numerous other public companies.

Six-Month Fiscal 2005 Results

Total revenue for the six months ended January 28, 2005 of $1.3 billion increased 7.6 % from the first six months of 2004. Comparable store restaurant sales for the six months for the Cracker Barrel concept increased 2.8%, including a 3.6% higher average check but 0.8% lower guest traffic. Comparable store retail sales at Cracker Barrel decreased 2.5% for the first six months of fiscal 2005. Logan's comparable restaurant sales for the first six months were up 4.2% with a 4.6% increase in average check but 0.4% lower guest traffic. The Company opened 10 new Cracker Barrel units and 11 new company-owned Logan's locations; two new franchised Logan's restaurants also opened.

The Company reported net income for the first six months of fiscal 2005 of $62.5 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, reflecting increases of 10.6% and 13.2%, respectively, from estimated restated net income of $56.5 million and estimated restated diluted net income per share of $1.06 for the first six months of fiscal 2004.

The Company reported that year-to-date net cash provided by operating activities of $137.4 million was up sharply from $76.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2004, and well in excess of net cash used for the purchase of property and equipment (capital expenditures) of $76.6 million. The increased cash provided by operations reflected increased levels of accounts payable from the relatively low levels at the end of fiscal 2004 as well as the higher reported net income. Capital expenditures were higher than the prior year's $63.9 million, primarily reflecting a greater number of new store openings in development for fiscal 2005.

The Company repurchased approximately 2.3 million shares of its common stock for approximately $87.1 million year-to-date and paid $11.3 million to shareholders in dividends. As of the end of the second quarter, the Company had approximately 0.6 million shares remaining to be repurchased under previously disclosed dis·close

Restatement Related to Changes for Lease Accounting

Effective with the reporting contained in this press release, the Company has changed its accounting for certain operating leases Operating Lease

The Company urges caution in considering its current trends and the earnings guidance disclosed in this press release. The restaurant industry is highly competitive, and trends and guidance are subject to numerous factors and influences, some of which are discussed in the cautionary language at the end of this press release. The Company disclaims any obligation to update disclosed information on trends or targets other than in its periodic filings under Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Fiscal 2005 Earnings Guidance

The Company's present guidance for diluted net income per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2005, which ends April 29, 2005, is for a percentage increase up to the mid-teens compared to the estimated restated $0.48 per share in the third quarter of last year on a total revenue increase of approximately 9-10%. Earnings guidance reflects many assumptions, many of which cannot be known, including, very importantly, sales expectations. The Company presently expects comparable store restaurant sales for the full third quarter to be up approximately 3-5% at Cracker Barrel and up approximately 2-4% at Logan's. Comparable store retail sales at Cracker Barrel are presently expected to be approximately flat to down 1% compared with the year-ago quarter. The Company presently expects operating income margins for the quarter to be flat to down slightly, primarily reflecting higher marketing expenses partly offset by other cost favorability, including lower cost of sales. The Company presently has an estimated 80-85% of its expected food purchases for the third quarter contracted with an overall expected percentage inflation on food purchases of approximately 1% from the third quarter of last year, primarily reflecting expectations for higher pork pork, flesh of swine prepared as food, one of the principal commodities of the meatpacking industry. Pork has long been a staple food in most of the world, although religious taboos have limited its use, especially among Jews and Muslims. , chicken and beef prices, partly offset by lower dairy dairy

 costs. The

Company presently expects to open seven new Cracker Barrel units in the third quarter, two of which have already opened, and six new Logan's company-operated units, of which one has already opening. In addition, one new franchised Logan's restaurant is expected to open in the quarter.

With the present outlook for a strong fourth quarter, the Company presently expects a percentage increase for the full fiscal year in diluted net income per share in the mid-to-high teens above the estimated restated $2.18 in fiscal 2004 (excluding the settlement charge taken in the fourth quarter of last year), reflecting a high-single-digit percentage increase in total revenue and a full-year operating income margin that is up slightly compared with an estimated restated 7.9% of revenue recorded in fiscal 2004 (also excluding the effect of the settlement charge). The Company's full-year guidance includes an expectation for lower commodity costs in the fourth quarter than in the prior year, with approximately 70% of the Company's food cost purchases for the fourth quarter currently contracted. The Company is developing plans to address the impact of enacted minimum wage increases in certain states in which it operates. The estimated cost of the minimum wage increases is expected to be approximately $1.2-$1.3 million in the fourth quarter and substantially less than that in the third quarter.
