G.J.

Positive guest counts drove the increase in comparable restaurant sales, while lower commodity costs continued to pave the way for margin expansion. In addition, sales at our newer restaurants continue to perform at or above our expectations and we are experiencing lower new unit investment costs. Our goal is to continue driving positive traffic growth through our continued commitment to legendary food and service."

Outlook for 2010

The Company reported that comparable restaurant sales for the first four weeks of the third quarter of fiscal 2010 increased 3.0% compared to the same period a year ago.

The Company estimates 2010 diluted earnings per share growth will be approximately 16% to 20% compared to 2009. This estimate is based, in part, on the following assumptions:

  • Comparable restaurant sales growth of approximately 1.0%;
  • 14 to 15 company restaurant openings;
  • Food cost deflation of approximately 2.5% to 3.0%; and
  • Total capital expenditures of approximately $50 million.
