(Nasdaq: RRGB), the casual dining company that serves up fun, feel-good experiences by offering its guests an imaginative selection of high-quality gourmet burgers and innovative menu items in a family-friendly environment, today reported financial results for the twelve weeks and twenty-eight weeks ended July 9, 2006 as well as provided guidance for the third quarter 2006 and updated its outlook for the full year 2006.

Highlights for the twelve week second fiscal quarter of 2006 compared to the same quarter of the prior year are as follows:
· Total revenues increased 19.1% to $135.9 million
· Restaurant revenue increased 19.2% to $132.1 million
· Company-owned comparable restaurant sales increased 3.3%
· Restaurant-level operating profit increased 19.0% to $28.6 million, including pre-tax stock compensation expense of $0.2 million
· Diluted earnings per share were $0.43, including $0.05 of stock compensation expense vs. $0.45 in diluted earnings per share last year, which did not include any material stock compensation expense
· Eight Company-owned restaurants and three franchised restaurants were opened in the quarter
Highlights for the 28 weeks ended July 9, 2006 compared to the 28 weeks ended July 10, 2005, are as follows:
· Total revenues increased 20.0% to $306.4 million
· Restaurant revenue increased 20.1% to $297.7 million
· Company-owned comparable restaurant sales increased 4.1%
· Restaurant-level operating profit increased 18.9% to $63.2 million, including pre-tax stock compensation expense of $0.5 million
· Diluted earnings per share were $0.87, including $0.13 of stock compensation expense vs. $0.93 in diluted earnings per share last year, which did not include any material stock compensation expense
· Seventeen Company-owned restaurants and six franchised restaurants were opened in the 28 weeks
As of the end of the second fiscal quarter of 2006, and prior to the acquisition of 11 franchise restaurants effective July 10, 2006, there were 180 Company-owned and 142 franchised Red Robin® restaurants.
Beginning with the first fiscal quarter of 2006, the Company adopted the requirements related to expensing stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-based Payment (SFAS 123R) on a modified prospective basis. The impact to diluted earnings per share from stock compensation expense on the second quarter of 2006 was $0.05 and $0.13 per diluted share for the fiscal year to date. Before the impact of stock compensation expense, the net income for the second fiscal quarter would have increased 9.2% to $8.1 million and diluted net income per share would have increased 6.7% to $0.48. For the year to date, the net income excluding stock compensation expense would have increased 8.7% to $16.7 million and diluted net income per share would have increased 7.5% to $1.00 per diluted share. Schedule II of this earnings release reconciles the impact of stock compensation expense on the second quarter and year to date 2006 net income and earnings per share.
During the quarter, we exceeded the high-end of our guidance range for both revenues and net income, and delivered strong results despite the current challenges facing the restaurant industry. We attribute our sales performance to the great guest experiences we deliver every shift, as well the high guest frequency we enjoy due to our higher-income demographic and low average check. For the balance of the year, we will focus on restaurant operations, new store development, integrating our recent franchise acquisition, and of course, serving high-quality gourmet burgers and cravable menu items that have made us a premier destination for Americas families, said Dennis Mullen, chairman and chief executive officer.
Second Quarter 2006 Results
Comparable restaurant sales increased 3.3% for Company-owned restaurants in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005, driven by a 2.4% increase in pricing and mix, as well as a 0.9% increase in guest counts. Average weekly comparable sales for Company-owned restaurants were $65,404 for the second quarter of 2006, compared to $64,655 for the second quarter a year ago.
Total Company revenues, which include Company-owned restaurant sales and franchise royalties and fees, increased 19.1% to $135.9 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared to $114.1 million in the prior years second quarter. The Companys franchise royalties and fees increased 16.9% to $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared to $3.2 million in the comparable period a year ago.
For the second quarter of 2006, Red Robins franchise system reported an increase in total U.S. franchise restaurant sales of 16.2% to $88.1 million, compared to $75.8 million in the prior year period. Comparable sales in the second quarter of 2006 for franchise restaurants in the U.S. and Canada increased 2.6% and 9.0% over the second quarter of 2005, respectively. Average weekly sales in the second quarter of 2006 for Red Robins comparable franchise restaurants were $60,806 in the U.S. versus $59,250 for the same period the prior year, and C$48,668 in Canada versus C$44,651 for the comparable period the prior year. Canadian results are in Canadian dollars.
Restaurant-level operating profit margin was 21.7% for the second quarter of 2006 and the second quarter of 2005. The second quarter of 2006 included approximately 0.2% of restaurant revenue related to stock compensation expense. The second quarter 2006 margin improvement, excluding $0.2 million of stock compensation expense, was primarily the result of lower cost of sales and occupancy cost, which were somewhat offset by higher labor and restaurant operating costs.

Schedule I of this earnings release reconciles restaurant-level operating profit to income from operations and net income for all periods presented.

Included in general and administrative expense for the second quarter 2006 was $1.2 million in stock compensation expense, which approximated 0.9% of total revenue, and for which there was no comparable expense last year. Excluding stock compensation expense, the 0.2% increase in the general and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to higher legal fees and marketing expense incurred in 2006, somewhat offset by leverage from the increase in revenue from a year ago.

Franchise Acquisition
On July 10, 2006, subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company completed the first closing for the acquisition of 11 of the 13 Red Robin franchised restaurants in the state of Washington for a cash purchase price of approximately $33.5 million, plus the assumption of approximately $1.2 million of negative net working capital.. The total cash purchase price for the acquisition of all 13 restaurants is $42.0 million, plus the assumption of approximately $1.4 million of negative net working capital. The Company also assumed
3
management of the remaining two restaurant locations owned by the Washington franchisees under a management services agreement. The Company expects to close on the remaining two restaurants assuming finalization of acceptable lease terms with the landlords of each of those properties. The acquisition is expected to add $0.04 to $0.05 per diluted share to earnings for the remainder of 2006 excluding any acquisition-related one-time charges. The Company expects to record a one-time non-cash charge of approximately $0.07 per diluted share relating to the termination of franchise agreements for certain of the restaurants that operated at a royalty rate lower than current market royalty rates. For accounting purposes, the financial results for all 13 restaurants will be consolidated in the Companys financial results from the effective date of July 10, 2006 forward, and as such have been incorporated into our third quarter and full year outlook described below.
Outlook
For the third quarter of 2006, which is a 12 week quarter, the Company expects total revenues between $147 million and $149 million and net income of $0.40 to $0.44 per diluted share, including the impact of stock compensation expense (SFAS No. 123R) but excluding the one-time non-cash charge of approximately $0.07 associated with the franchise acquisition described above. The impact of SFAS No. 123R for the third quarter of 2006 is expected to be approximately $0.05 per diluted share. The Companys GAAP basis third quarter 2006 earnings per diluted share are estimated to be between $0.33 and $0.37.
These projected third quarter 2006 results are based upon certain assumptions, including an expected comparable restaurant sales increase of 0.5% to 1.5%, and the anticipated opening of 7 to 8 new Company-owned and 2 new franchised restaurants during the quarter. Two Company-owned and two new franchised restaurants have already opened during the third quarter of 2006. The Company currently has 16 restaurants under construction and the franchisees have 8 restaurants under construction.
For the full year 2006, which is a 53-week year, the Company expects revenues between $615 million and $618 million, and net income of between $1.74 and $1.83 per diluted share. This net income includes the impact of stock compensation expense (SFAS No. 123R) of between $0.22 and $0.23 per diluted share, but excludes the one-time non-cash charge of approximately $0.07 associated with the franchise acquisition described above. The Companys GAAP basis full year 2006 earnings per diluted share are estimated to be between $1.67 and $1.76.
These full year projected results are also based upon certain assumptions, including an expected comparable restaurant sales increase of approximately 2.5% to 3.0% and the opening of 30 to 32 new Company-owned restaurants and the opening of 15 to 17 new franchised restaurants. Of these new restaurants, 19 new Company-owned restaurants have opened, while 8 franchised restaurants have opened.

Schedule I
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Restaurant-Level Operating Profit
to Income
from Operations and Net Income
The Company defines restaurant-level operating profit to be restaurant revenues minus restaurant-level operating costs, excluding restaurant closures and impairment costs in the event closure or impairment charges are incurred. It does not include general and administrative costs, depreciation and amortization, franchise development costs and pre-opening costs. The Company believes that restaurant-level operating profit is an important measure of financial performance because it is widely regarded in the restaurant industry as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance. The Company excludes restaurant closure costs as they do not represent a component of the efficiency of continuing operations. Restaurant impairment costs are excluded, because, similar to depreciation and amortization, they represent a non-cash charge for the Companys investment in its restaurants and not a component of the efficiency of restaurant operations. Restaurant-level operating profit is not a measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative, to income from operations or net income as indicators of financial performance. Restaurant-level operating profit as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The table below sets forth certain unaudited information for the twelve and twenty-eight weeks ended July 9, 2006 and July 10, 2005, expressed as a percentage of total revenues, except for the components of restaurant operating costs, which are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenues.

Certain percentage amounts in the table above do not sum due to rounding as well as the fact that restaurant operating costs are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenues, as opposed to total revenues.
Schedule II
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Results to GAAP Results
In addition to the results provided in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) throughout this press release, the Company has provided non-GAAP measurements which present the twelve and twenty-eight week periods ended July 9, 2006 year-over-year change in net income and diluted net income per share excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense required under of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123R), a revision of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS 123). SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values. The Company adopted the new requirements beginning in fiscal 2006 using the modified prospective transition method and, as a result, will not retroactively adjust results from prior periods. Under this transition method, compensation expense associated with stock options recognized during fiscal 2006 included: 1) expense related to the remaining unvested portion of all stock option awards granted prior to December 25, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123; and 2) expense related to all stock option awards granted subsequent to December 25, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Due to immateriality, the impact of stock-based compensation expense for the twelve and twenty-eight week periods ended July 10, 2005 is not reflected in the table below.
The non-GAAP measurements are intended to supplement the presentation of the Companys financial results in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that the presentation of these items provides additional information to facilitate the comparison of past and present financial results.
