Dave & Buster’s, Inc. Reports
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2006 Results

DALLAS—May 10, 2007—Dave & Buster’s, Inc., a leading operator of upscale restaurant/entertainment complexes, today announced results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended February 4, 2007.

Highlights for the 14 week fourth quarter of 2006 compared to the 13 week fourth quarter of 2005 were as follows:

·                  Total revenue increased 9.7 % to $143.9 million from $131.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.

·                  Food and Beverage revenues for the quarter increased 12.2% versus prior year, while Amusement and Other revenues increased 6.5% for the fourth quarter.

·                  Same store sales (excluding the fourth quarter adjustment to Amusement revenue discussed below) increased 1.3% over a comparable 14 week period in 2005, while same store sales for previously acquired Jillian’s were up 7.7% over a similar period in 2005.

·                  During the fourth quarter the Company recorded two non-cash, non-recurring charges totaling approximately $5.5 million.  The Company reduced Amusement revenues by $2.4 million as a result of a revision to its method of estimating the timing of revenue recognized for amusement game plays. The Company does not expect the deferral of revenue to change significantly in future periods.  As such, we do not anticipate a recurring financial statement impact related to this method change.  Also, the Company recorded additional liabilities resulting from its change in estimate related to workers compensation and general liability claims resulting in a $3.1 million increase in store operating expenses.  The majority of the adjustment for insurance relates to policy periods prior to fiscal 2006.  Collectively, these adjustments do not reflect a material change in the historic trends or business outlook of the Company.

·                  Operating income (excluding non-cash, non-recurring charges) increased to $10.8 million from $7.9 million in the same period last year.

·                  During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company opened one location in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area.

Highlights for the 53 week fiscal year 2006 compared to the 52 week fiscal year 2005 were as follows:

·                  Total revenue increased 10.1% to $510.2 million from $463.5 million.

·                  Food and Beverage revenues for the year increased 11.9% versus prior year, while Amusement and Other revenues increased 7.9% for the year.




·                  Same Store Sales (excluding non-cash, non-recurring charges) increased 4.1% compared to a 53 week 2005 period, while same store sales for its previously acquired Jillian’s were up 6.8% over the same time period.

·                  Operating income (excluding one-time, non-recurring charges) increased to $13.4 million from $13.0 million year over year.

“We have made significant progress in our margin improvement versus prior year while maintaining the sales momentum we established in the first half of the year,” stated Steve King, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. “I am proud of our team’s ability to stay focused this year on improving operating performance and leveraging our sales increases throughout the fourth quarter.”

Review of Operating Results

Total reported revenues increased 9.7% to $143.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to $131.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. Total revenue growth, based on a comparable 14 week period in 2005, increased 4.6% (excluding the adjustment to Amusement revenue).  This revenue growth was comprised primarily of a 1.3% increase in comparable store sales and a 7.7% sales increase at the previously acquired Jillian’s stores.  Reported Food and Beverage revenues increased 12.2% while revenues from Amusements and Other increased 6.5% (increases of 5.2% and 3.8%, respectively on a comparable 14 week basis excluding the adjustment to Amusement revenue).

Reported revenues for the 53 week fiscal year ended February 4, 2007 increased to $510.2 million from $463.4 million in Fiscal 2005.  Total revenue growth, based on a 53 week 2005 increased 8.6% (excluding the adjustment to Amusement revenue). This increase was comprised primarily of comparable store sales increases of 4.1% and sales increases at the previously acquired Jillian’s locations of 6.8%.  Reported Food and Beverage revenues increased 11.9% while revenues from Amusements and Other increased 7.9% (increases of 9.8% and 7.1%, respectively on a comparable 53 week basis excluding the adjustment to Amusement revenue).

EBITDA (Modified) for the fourth quarter of 2006 of $19.7 million is above prior year by $1.0 million and is negatively impacted by the $5.5 million non cash, one time, non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the non-recurring charges, increased 21.4% to $26.7 million versus $22.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.

For the fiscal year 2006, EBITDA (Modified) of $56.7 million increased by $0.4 million versus $56.3 million in fiscal year 2005, and was impacted by the previously mentioned $5.5 million fourth quarter charges combined with expenses associated with the March 2006 merger transaction. Adjusted EBITDA improved 9.1% to $70.5 million in fiscal 2006 versus $64.6 million in fiscal 2005.

Mr. King concluded, “I am confident that the foundation we put in place in 2006 to re-energize this strong brand will continue to produce improved results as we move through 2007 and beyond.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

A reconciliation of EBITDA (Modified) and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP, is set forth in the attachment to this release.

NOTES

(1) EBITDA (Modified), a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit), interest expense (net), amortization, depreciation, stock-based compensation, and gain (loss) on disposal of assets.  Adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, is defined as EBITDA (Modified) plus startup costs, Wellspring expense reimbursement, non-cash and non-recurring charges.  The company believes that EBITDA (Modified) and Adjusted EBITDA (collectively, “EBITDA — Based Measures”) provide useful information to debt holders regarding the Company’s operating performance and its capacity to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures.  The Company believes that the EBITDA — Based Measures are used by many investors, analysts and rating agencies as a measure of performance.  In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is approximately equal to “Consolidated EBITDA” as defined in our Senior Credit Facility and indentures relating to the Company’s senior notes.  Neither of the EBITDA — Based Measures is defined by GAAP and neither should be considered in isolation or as an alternative to other financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance.  EBITDA (Modified) and Adjusted EBITDA as defined in this release may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
