GAAP earnings per diluted share for fiscal year 2014 were $2.25 compared to $2.22 in fiscal year 2013. On an adjusted basis, fiscal 2014 diluted earnings per share were $2.66 compared to $2.37 in the prior year. See Schedule I for a reconciliation of adjusted net income and earnings per share.
“Our commitment to providing guests with a great dining experience, combined with effective marketing and menu strategies, enabled us to continue to take market share in the fourth quarter as we capped off another successful year at Red Robin,” said Steve Carley, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. chief executive officer. “In 2015 we will build on those achievements through everyday value, menu innovation, and promotional tie-ins while remodeling at least 125 additional restaurants to our new brand standards.”
Operating Results
Total Company revenues, which include Company-owned restaurant revenue and franchise royalties, increased $40.2 million or 16.6% to $282.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 from $241.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Restaurants acquired in 2014 generated $22.9 million of restaurant revenue in the fourth quarter of 2014.
System-wide restaurant revenue (including franchised units) for the fourth quarter of 2014 totaled $348.0 million, compared to $324.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 at constant currency rates.
Comparable restaurant revenue increased 3.6% in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year. In the fourth quarter, guest counts increased 1.2% and average guest check increased 2.4%. Comparable restaurants are those Company-owned restaurants that have achieved five full quarters of operations during the period presented, and such restaurants are only included in our comparable metrics if they are comparable for the entirety of both periods presented.
Restaurant-level operating profit margins (a non-GAAP financial measure) were 21.3% in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to 21.7% in the fourth quarter of 2013, a decline of 40 basis points. Excluding the 36 restaurants acquired in 2014, restaurant-level operating profit margins increased 50 basis points to 22.2% primarily driven by a decrease in labor costs. Schedule II of this earnings release defines restaurant-level operating profit, discusses why it is a useful metric for investors, and reconciles this metric to income from operations and net income.

Other Results
Depreciation and amortization costs increased $2.8 million to $16.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $13.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The increased depreciation was primarily related to restaurants acquired and opened since the fourth quarter of 2013 and restaurants remodeled under our brand transformation initiative.
General and administrative costs were $22.1 million, a decrease of $0.7 million from the fourth quarter of 2013, primarily driven by lower incentive compensation, partially offset by an increase in salaries and benefits. The fourth quarter of 2013 included a $1.6 million nonrecurring special bonus awarded by the board.
Selling expenses were $9.5 million, or 3.4% of total revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $8.0 million or 3.3% of total revenues a year ago. This increase was primarily due to increased advertising.
Pre-opening costs in the fourth quarter of 2014 totaled $1.2 million compared to $1.9 million in the comparable period a year ago. The decrease was primarily driven by fewer Red Robin restaurants opening in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the fourth quarter of 2013.
The Company recorded asset impairment charges of $8.8 million, of which $7.6 million related to the write-off of in-development software, and $1.2 million related to impairments of three restaurants.
The Company's fiscal 2014 effective tax rate was 22.2%, compared to 21.8% in fiscal year 2013.
Restaurant Development and Acquisitions
As of the end of the fourth quarter of 2014, there were 408 Company-owned Red Robin® restaurants, seven Red Robin Burger Works® and 99 franchised Red Robin restaurants for a total of 514 restaurants. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company opened six new Red Robin restaurants, opened one Red Robin Burger Works and closed one Red Robin Burger Works. One franchise location opened in the fourth quarter.
Under our brand transformation initiative, the Company has remodeled a total of 104 Red Robin restaurants to our new brand standards through fiscal year 2014.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of December 28, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $22.4 million and total debt of $147.9 million, including $8.5 million of capital lease liabilities. The Company decreased debt by $8.2 million during the fourth quarter.
Cash generated from operations in 2014 totaled $123.6 million compared to $113.5 million in 2013. 2014 Capital investments, including the acquisition of 36 franchised restaurants, totaled $155.2 million compared to $78.9 million in the prior year.
During the fourth quarter, the Company purchased 19,900 shares of treasury stock for $1.2 million. As of December 28, 2014, there was approximately $18.1 million remaining under the current board authorization for stock repurchases. In 2014, the Company purchased a total of 463,780 shares of treasury stock for $26.9 million. The Company’s Board of Directors recently reauthorized its share repurchase program and approved the repurchase of up to a total of $50 million in the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the repurchase program, purchases may be made from time to time at the Company’s discretion and the Company is not obligated to acquire any particular amount of common stock.

Outlook for 2015
Red Robin’s 2015 fiscal year consists of 52 weeks and will end on December 27, 2015.
In fiscal year 2015, the Company expects total revenue growth of 12.0% to 13.0% including comparable restaurant revenue growth of 2.0% to 3.0%. The Company plans to open 20 new Red Robin restaurants and five Red Robin Burger Works resulting in operating week growth from new locations of approximately 6%.
Capital investments in fiscal year 2015 are expected to total near $140.0 million. In addition to the new restaurant openings, the Company plans to remodel at least 125 Red Robin restaurants as part of its brand transformation initiative.
Restaurant-level operating profit margins in fiscal year 2015 are expected to approach 21.4%.
General and administrative costs are expected to be between $97.0 million and $99.0 million, while selling expenses are expected to be approximately 3.2% of total revenues. Pre-opening and acquisition costs are expected to total near $7.0 million in fiscal 2015. Depreciation and amortization is projected to be approximately $77.0 million.
Interest expense is expected to be approximately $4.0 million while the income tax rate in fiscal year 2015 is expected to be approximately 27.0%.
The sensitivity of the Company’s earnings per diluted share to a 1.0% change in guest counts for fiscal year 2015 is estimated to be $0.34 on an annualized basis. Additionally, a 10 basis point change in restaurant-level operating margin is expected to impact earnings per diluted share by approximately $0.08, and a change of approximately $145,000 in pre-tax income or expense is equivalent to approximately $0.01 per diluted share.

Schedule II
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Restaurant-Level Operating Profit to Income
from Operations and Net Income
(In thousands)
The Company believes that restaurant-level operating profit is an important measure for management and investors 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 defines restaurant-level operating profit to be restaurant revenue minus restaurant-level operating costs, excluding restaurant closures and impairment costs. The measure includes restaurant- level occupancy costs, which include fixed rents, percentage rents, common area maintenance charges, real estate and personal property taxes, general liability insurance and other property costs, but excludes depreciation related to restaurant buildings and leasehold improvements. The measure excludes depreciation and amortization expense, substantially all of which is related to restaurant-level assets, because such expenses represent historical sunk costs which do not reflect current cash outlay for the restaurants. The measure also excludes selling, general, and administrative costs, and therefore excludes occupancy costs associated with selling, general, and administrative functions, and pre-opening costs. 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 12 and 52 weeks ended December 28, 2014 and the 12 and 52 weeks ended December 29, 2013, expressed as a percentage of total revenues, except for the components of restaurant-level operating profit, which are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenue.
