“Quarter Four represented our 21st consecutive quarter of profitability as we continue to deliver profitable operating results” said Brandon
Solano, Chief Executive Officer of RAVE Restaurant Group, Inc.
“Thirteen restaurants had implemented the ‘I
ate at Pizza Inn’ eight-dollar value promotion by midway through the fourth quarter and continued the offer into the new fiscal year with great success," continued Solano.
“The ‘I ate at Pizza Inn’ restaurants experienced a 30.6% year over year sales lift and a 34.7% traffic lift for the final eight weeks of the fourth quarter. Twelve of the thirteen restaurants continued the promotion through Q1 of fiscal 2026
and more restaurants are slated to add the promotion later in fiscal year 2026. We are excited to have unlocked a powerful value promotion that resonates with our guests and drives considerable traffic into our Pizza Inn restaurants. The offer
allows guests to dine at our buffets for $8.00 excluding drink purchase all day on weekdays and is supported by in-market advertising. I am very proud of our Marketing team who created and delivered the promotion and our franchise partners for
their flawless execution. The Pizza Inn stores that did not participate in the I$8 promotion instead ran a summer salad bar promotion and also had amazing sales results with same store sales growth of over 5%."
Solano added, “Coming off another solid fiscal year, one which saw Pizza Inn increase the net buffet store count for the fourth year in a row, the
brand is poised for accelerated growth. We continue to build our Pizza Inn pipeline for both new and reimaged stores. We currently have completed eleven reimages and the reimage results continue to be very positive. We opened new Pizza Inn buffets
in North Carolina and Oklahoma during the quarter. Our new domestic store pipeline has 31 total stores under contract with 12 under contract for our current fiscal year ending June 28, 2026. Internationally, we had a strong opening of our first
Pizza Inn in Egypt and our eighth unit in Saudi Arabi opened in the fourth quarter.”
Chief Financial Officer Jay Rooney added, “We continued
to efficiently manage expenses throughout fiscal year 2025 and finished the year with positive 6.3%
comparable store sales in the fourth quarter at Pizza Inn leading to a total annual pre-tax income increase of
over 17 percent from the prior 53-week fiscal year. I am impressed by the efforts and results of the
entire Rave team.”
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, the
Company also presents and discusses certain non-GAAP financial measures that it believes are useful to investors as measures of operating performance. Management may also use such non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the effectiveness of
business strategies and for planning and budgeting purposes. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as an alternative or substitute for its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
The Company considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be important supplemental measures of operating performance that are commonly used by securities
analysts, investors and other parties interested in our industry. The Company believes that EBITDA is helpful to investors in evaluating its results of operations without the impact of expenses affected by financing methods, accounting methods and
the tax environment. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides additional useful information to investors by excluding non-operational or non-recurring expenses to provide a measure of operating performance that is more comparable from
period to period. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures for evaluating operating performance, assessing the effectiveness of business strategies, projecting future capital needs, budgeting and other planning purposes.
“EBITDA” represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” represents earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, severance, gain/loss on sale of assets, costs related to impairment and other lease charges, franchise default and closed store revenue/expense, and closed and non-operating store costs.
A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to net income is included with the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release, other than historical information, may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Assumptions relating
to these forward-looking statements involve judgments with respect to, among other things, the effectiveness of our cost cutting measures, the timing to complete as well as the continued returns on our reimaging initiatives, the strength of our
development pipeline, as well as future economic, competitive and market conditions, regulatory framework and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of RAVE
Restaurant Group, Inc. Although the assumptions underlying these forward-looking statements are believed to be reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that any forward-looking statements will
prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward-looking statements, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation that the objectives and plans of RAVE Restaurant Group, Inc.
will be achieved.
