First-Quarter Fiscal 2005 Results

Total revenue for the first fiscal quarter ended October 29, 2004 of $612.7 million increased 6.3% from the first fiscal quarter of 2004. Comparable store restaurant sales for the first quarter for the Cracker Barrel concept increased 2.3%, including a 3.2% higher average check and 0.9% lower guest traffic. Cracker Barrel implemented approximately a 1.7% menu price increase during October, bringing the average menu price increase for the full quarter to approximately 2.1%. Comparable store retail sales at Cracker Barrel decreased 5.4% for the quarter. Logan's comparable restaurant sales for the quarter were up 3.9% as average check increased 5.0%, and guest traffic decreased 1.1%. Logan's implemented approximately a 0.9% menu price increase at the beginning of October, bringing the average menu price increase to approximately 3.2% for the full quarter. As previously reported, sales at both Cracker Barrel and Logan's were unfavorably affected by hurricanes during the quarter. The Company estimated that comparable store restaurant sales were reduced by less than 0.5% at Cracker Barrel and Logan's for the quarter as a result of net lost sales from the hurricanes. The Company also estimated that net lost sales from the hurricanes reduced comparable store retail sales at Cracker Barrel by approximately 0.5-1.0%. The combined net lost sales for the quarter, including stores not yet in the comparable store base, for Cracker Barrel and Logan's was an estimated $2 million. During the quarter, the Company opened five new Cracker Barrel units and seven new company-operated Logan's locations.

The Company reported net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 of $30.3 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, up from net income of $28.2 million and diluted net income per share of $0.56 for the first quarter of fiscal 2004. In addition to the lost income on the sales effect noted above, the Company estimated that pre-tax pre-tax adjanterior al impuesto

 income for the first quarter was also reduced by approximately $0.6 million in hurricane-related property damage and higher direct costs associated with restoring operations at affected stores, net of estimated insurance recoveries.

The Company reported that net cash provided by operating activities of $37.8 million was up sharply from $5.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2004, and slightly higher than net cash used for the purchase of property and equipment (capital expenditures) of $37.4 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 $29.7 million, primarily reflecting a greater number of new store openings in development for fiscal 2005.

The Company repurchased 1.1 million shares of its common stock for approximately $39.9 million during the quarter, paid $5.4 million to shareholders in a quarterly dividend, and declared de·clare

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 second quarter of fiscal 2005, which ends January January: see month.  28, 2005, is for a percentage increase up to the low double digits Double Digits was a pricing game on the American television game show, The Price Is Right. Played from April 20, 1973 through May 18, 1973's show, it was played for a car and used small prizes.  compared to $0.57 per share in the second quarter of last year on a total revenue increase of approximately 7-8% (see discussion of "Potential Change in Accounting for Convertible Debt Securities" below for the potential impact on guidance and historical diluted net income per share of potential new accounting requirements). 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 second quarter to be up approximately 1-3% at Cracker Barrel and up approximately 2-4% at Logan's. Comparable store retail sales at Cracker Barrel are presently expected to be down 0-2% compared with the year-ago quarter, reflecting an improvement from first-quarter trends anticipated as a result of planned merchandising merchandising

In liturgical importance it ranks after Easter, Pentecost, and Epiphany (Jan. 6).  holiday shopping season. The Company presently expects operating income margins for the quarter to be down slightly from prior year, primarily reflecting the fact that the Company has not yet lapped the significant commodity cost increases that began late in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year, as well as higher expected advertising spending and utilities costs. The Company presently has an estimated 80% of its expected food purchases for the second quarter contracted with an overall expected percentage inflation on food purchases of approximately 5% from the second quarter of last year, primarily reflecting expectations for higher beef, 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.  and tomato prices. The Company presently expects to open five new Cracker Barrel units in the second quarter, of which one has already opened, and five new Logan's company-operated units, of which one has already opened. In addition, one new franchised Logan's restaurant has already opened in the quarter.

For the full year, the Company presently expects a percentage increase in diluted net income per share in the mid-teens above $2.31 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 approximately flat to the 8.0% of revenue recorded in fiscal 2004 (also excluding the effect of the settlement charge). (See discussion of "Potential Change in Accounting for Convertible Debt Securities" below for the potential impact on guidance and historical diluted net income per share of potential new accounting requirements). The Company's full-year guidance reflects less commodity inflation in the second half of the year than in the first half, and the Company reported that approximately 55% of its food cost purchases for the second half of the fiscal year are contracted. The Company is developing plans to address the impact of recently 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, and these increases are reflected in the Company's current guidance.

Potential Change in Accounting for Convertible Debt Securities

The Company announced that it is likely to be required to implement a change in accounting for convertible debt that would change its calculation of diluted net income per share. An accounting change is expected to be required as proposed under the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue Abstract No. 04-8 that would require the use of "if-converted" accounting for contingently con·tin·gent

 effect on fiscal 2004 is slightly less than previously estimated by the Company (restated fiscal 2004 diluted net income per share of $2.14 including the effect of the settlement charge compared with a previous estimate of $2.12). The Company noted that the change in accounting does not change the income statement or balance sheet for those affected periods nor does it have any economic effect, since the terms of the notes are unchanged. At the present time, the Company has not determined what response or change in policy, if any, it might undertake to offset any part of the dilutive effect Dilutive effect

 of this accounting change.

The impact on the Company's guidance for the second quarter and full year of fiscal 2005 is as follows. Including the effect of the accounting change, if required to be adopted, the Company presently expects diluted net income per share to be reduced by approximately three cents in each of the second and third quarters and approximately five cents in the fourth quarter. The effect on the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 is expected to be slightly higher as the Company will have amortized fully the deferred financing costs on issuance of the convertible notes during the third quarter. Because prior-year diluted net income per share also must be reduced under the proposed accounting change, the Company expects its guidance of percentage growth in diluted net income per share compared with the prior year not to be affected materially.
