DAVE & BUSTER’S, INC. REPORTS A TWENTY PERCENT INCREASE IN FIRST QUARTER 2005 EARNINGS PER SHARE
DALLAS (June 7, 2005) Dallas - Dave & Buster’s, Inc. (NYSE:DAB), a leading operator of upscale restaurant/entertainment complexes, today announced earnings for its first quarter ended May 1, 2005.
Total revenue for the first quarter increased 21.9 percent, or $20.8 million, to $115.7 million from $95.0 million in the prior year’s comparable quarter. Food and beverage revenue increased 25.2 percent and amusement and other revenue increased 18.3 percent. Revenue from comparable stores decreased 1.7 percent for the quarter. Operating income for the period increased 29.2 percent to $9.0 million compared to $6.9 million last year. EBITDA increased to $18.7 million, or 23.4 percent, from $15.2 million last year. Net income for the quarter was $4.6 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to net income in the same period last year of $3.6 million, or $0.25 per diluted share.
“We are pleased with our substantial increase in earnings. These results mark our ninth consecutive quarter of year-over-year profitability improvement,” stated Buster Corley, the company’s CEO. “While making sustained progress in overall profitability, we remain focused on same store sales improvement. We believe we have the appropriate strategy in place to accomplish this later in the year.”
“There were costs associated with the Jillian’s integration which we expect to be non-recurring,” stated W. C. Hammett, the company’s CFO. “These costs include items such as training labor and additional food costs related to the new menu roll-out, higher than normal freight costs related to game and equipment transfers and severance and related management relocation costs. We estimate that the impact on total operating expenses for the quarter was approximately $1.0 million.”
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure
presented in accordance with GAAP, is set forth in the attachment to this release.
The Company will hold a conference call to discuss first quarter results on Tuesday, June 7, 2005, at 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time (10:30 a.m. Central Time). The company plans to release earnings the same day before the market opens.
