· Total revenues increased 40.6% to $163.8 million
· Restaurant revenue increased 41.8% to $160.4 million

· A total of 15 new Red Robin® restaurants, 7 company-owned and 8 franchised locations were opened during the period
Highlights for the fifty-three weeks ended December 31, 2006, compared to the fifty-two weeks ended December 25, 2005, are as follows:
· Total revenues increased 27.3% to $618.7 million

· Restaurant-level operating profit increased 27.1% to $128.0 million, including $0.9 million in stock compensation expense
· Diluted earnings per share were $1.75, including $0.24 of stock compensation expense, a $0.07 per share charge from the reacquired franchise costs, and an $0.11 per share benefit from the impact of the extra week in 2006, compared to $1.64 in diluted earnings per share last year, which included a $0.06 per share charge related to significant and unusual items.
· A total of 48 new Red Robin® restaurants, 32 company-owned and 16 franchised locations were opened across in 2006
“Our fourth quarter financial results were stronger than we anticipated due to better than expected operating performance, and a greater benefit from the 53rd week this fiscal period, combined with a the receipt of funds from a class action litigation settlement from Visa and Mastercard, as well as an improvement in our effective tax rate. In 2007, we intend to raise our brand profile through a national media strategy, which we believe will enhance awareness of the Red Robin brand, particularly in newer markets in an effort to drive restaurant sales. We have also tempered new restaurant growth to enable us to focus on brand awareness, improve new restaurant performance, and reduce development costs, all of which we believe can help us drive stronger longer-term financial performance and returns,” said Dennis Mullen, chairman and chief executive officer.
As of the end of fiscal 2006, there were 208 company-owned and 139 franchised Red Robin® restaurants.
The fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 was a 53-week year, and the fiscal fourth quarter of 2006 was a 13-week quarter, while the fiscal year and fourth quarter 2005 included 52 weeks, and 12 weeks, respectively. The calculation of the comparable restaurant sales increase for each period presented in 2006 was made on a 13-week quarter or 53-week fiscal year basis by including the first week of 2006 fiscal year in the comparable restaurant performance for 2005. The calculation of average weekly sales for the periods presented for 2006 includes the additional week in the 13-week or 53-week average, but the prior year comparison of average weekly sales in 2005 has not been modified from previous disclosures.
Beginning with the fiscal first 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 for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2006 and the fiscal year 2006 were $0.06 and $0.24, respectively.
Schedule II of this earnings release reconciles the impact on the net income and diluted earnings per share as reported on a GAAP basis in the fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year of 2006 and 2005, to adjusted amounts excluding stock compensation expense, the reacquired franchise costs, and the extra week. Excluding the impact of stock compensation expense, the reacquired franchise costs, and the extra week in the fourth quarter, net income for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2006 would have increased 46.1% to $8.1 million and net income per diluted share would have increased 48.5% to $0.49. For the full year 2006, net income excluding stock compensation expense, the reacquired franchise costs, and the extra week in the fiscal year, would have increased 14.8% to $32.7 million and net income per diluted share would have increased 14.7% to $1.95 per diluted share.
Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2006 Results
Comparable restaurant sales increased 0.2% for company-owned restaurants in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2006 compared to the fiscal fourth quarter of 2005, driven by a 3.2% increase in the average guest check which was offset by a 3.0% decline in guest counts. Average weekly comparable sales for company-owned restaurants were $61,421 in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2006, compared to $60,966 in the same period a year ago. Average weekly sales for non-comparable company-owned restaurants were $53,557 in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2006, compared to $56,573 in the fiscal fourth quarter a year ago. Average weekly comparable sales for the 13 restaurants acquired from our Washington franchisee were $82,167 in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2006.
Total Company revenues, which include company-owned restaurant sales and franchise royalties and fees, increased 40.6% to $163.8 million in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2006, versus $116.5 million last year. Franchise royalties and fees fell 0.9% to $3.4 million in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2006 compared to the same period a year ago, due in part to the Company’s purchase of 13 franchised locations from the Washington franchisee in the second half of fiscal 2006.
For the fiscal fourth quarter of 2006, the Company’s franchise system reported a decrease in total U.S. franchise restaurant sales of 3.5% to $84.6 million, compared to $87.7 million in the prior year period due to the acquisition of the 13 franchised locations by the Company in the second half of fiscal 2006. Comparable sales in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2006 for franchise restaurants in the U.S. and Canada increased 1.5% and 5.1% over the fiscal fourth quarter of 2005, respectively. Average weekly sales in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2006 for the Company’s comparable franchise restaurants were $55,487 in the U.S. versus $56,379 for the same period the prior year, and C$45,772 in Canada versus C$42,374 in the same period last year. Canadian results are in Canadian dollars.

Restaurant-level operating profit margins at company-owned restaurants increased to 21.5% in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2006 from 20.6% in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2005. Fiscal fourth quarter restaurant-level operating profit included $0.2 million in stock compensation expense, which approximated 0.1% of restaurant revenue. Fiscal fourth quarter 2006 restaurant-level operating profit margins were positively impacted by lower cost of sales, labor, and restaurant operating costs, which were somewhat offset by higher occupancy costs.
The Company’s restaurant-level operating profit metric does not represent income from operations or net income calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Schedule I of this earnings release reconciles restaurant-level operating profit to income from operations and net income for all periods presented.
General and administrative expense was $13.3 million in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2006 and $9.2 million in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2005, which were 8.1% and 7.9% of total revenue, respectively. Included in general and administrative expense for the fiscal fourth quarter 2006 was $1.0 million in stock compensation expense, which approximated 0.6% of total revenue, and for which there was no comparable expense last year.
In the fiscal fourth quarter of 2006, the Company also:
· Incurred $0.3 million in pre-tax charges for reacquired franchise costs or $0.01 per diluted share after tax, relating to the termination of a franchise agreement for the acquired Puyallup restaurant, as it operated at a royalty rate lower than current market royalty rates;
· Received $0.3 million for a widely publicized class action litigation settlement with credit card companies, which was a benefit to general and administrative expense, or $0.01 per diluted share after tax,
· Realized a reduction in the effective tax rate, which benefited diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.05.
Net income for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2006 was $8.8 million or $0.53 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $5.5 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2005. Net income for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2006 includes $1.2 million in pre-tax stock compensation expense, or $0.06 per diluted share, after tax.

Outlook
Beginning with the Company’s 2007 fiscal year, the Company will provide only annual guidance for revenue, comparable restaurant sales growth, and earnings per share expectations. The Company will continue to provide quarterly unit development expectations for both company-owned units as well as franchise units. The Company plans to give quarterly updates to its 2007 annual revenue and comparable restaurant sales, and earnings guidance as circumstances warrant it.
For the first quarter of 2007, which is a 16 week quarter, the Company expects to open 8 to 9 new company-owned and 7 to 9 new franchised restaurants. Five company-owned and 2 new franchised restaurants have already opened during the first quarter of 2007, and 15 company-owned and 10 franchise restaurants are currently under construction. For the first half of 2007, the Company expects to open between 17 and 19 new restaurants of the 24 to 27 new company-owned units planned for the full fiscal year of 2007. The franchisees are expected to open between 15 and 17 new restaurants in fiscal 2007.
4
For the full year of 2007, which is a 52-week year, the Company expects revenues of $715 to $735 million and net income of $1.75 to $1.85 per diluted share, including the impact of Statement of SFAS No. 123R. The impact of SFAS No. 123R for the full fiscal year of 2007 is expected to be between $0.28 and $0.30 per diluted share.
These projected full fiscal year 2007 results are also based upon certain assumptions, including an expected comparable restaurant sales increase of approximately 2% to 3.5%. Forecasted growth in annual comparable restaurant sales are expected to be concentrated in the last three quarters of the fiscal year.
The Company’s 2007 financial guidance includes the launch of a national advertising campaign that will be funded by company-owned and franchised restaurants. Total 2007 spending is expected to be approximately $11.0 million to $11.5 million which will be funded by a national advertising fund, whereby each restaurant in the system, company-owned and franchised, is contributing approximately 1% of their restaurant revenue in 2007. The company-owned restaurants will contribute an incremental 0.5% beginning in March 2007 to the national advertising fund, with the remaining 0.5% contributions coming from the reallocation of historical marketing spending.

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 Company’s 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 thirteen and fifty-three weeks ended December 31, 2006 and the twelve and fifty-two weeks ended December 25, 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.

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 thirteen and fifty-three week periods ended December 31, 2006, year-over-year change in net income and diluted net income per share excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123R), the reacquired franchise costs, the significant and unusual items incurred in 2005 as described previously, and the impact of the extra week in fiscal 2006. The Company adopted SFAS 123R beginning in fiscal 2006 using the modified prospective transition method and, as a result, will not retroactively adjust results from prior periods. The non-GAAP measurements are intended to supplement the presentation of the Company’s 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.
