Ark Restaurants Announces Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2011
Total revenues for the three-month period ended April 2, 2011 were $30,219,000 versus $25,113,000 in the three months ended April 3, 2010. For the three-month period ended April 2, 2011 total revenues include $5,748,000 of consolidated VIE revenues.
Ark Restaurants Corp. (NASDAQ: ARKR) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended April 2, 2011.
Effective October 3, 2010, the Company adopted amendments to ASC 810 (formerly FASB Statement of Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 167—Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“SFAS No 167”)). The new standard pertains to the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) if the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. As a result we were required to consolidate certain limited partnerships effective as of the adoption date. The Company did not retroactively apply this guidance.
As of April 2, 2011 the Company had no long-term debt and cash, cash equivalents and short term investments totaling $5,239,000 (including $834,000 of cash related to VIEs).
Total revenues for the three-month period ended April 2, 2011 were $30,219,000 versus $25,113,000 in the three months ended April 3, 2010. For the three-month period ended April 2, 2011 total revenues include $5,748,000 of consolidated VIE revenues.
Total revenues for the six-month period ended April 2, 2011 were $62,632,000 versus $50,689,000 in the six months ended April 3, 2010. For the six-month period ended April 2, 2011 total revenues include $10,515,000 of consolidated VIE revenues.
Continuing Operations EBITDA adjusted for non-cash stock option expense and non-controlling interests for the three-month period ended April 2, 2011 was a negative $563,000 versus a positive $128,000 during the same three-month period last year. The Company’s net loss from continuing operations for the three-month period ended April 2, 2011 was $1,468,000, or $0.42 per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $671,000, or $0.19 per basic and diluted share, for the same three-month period last year.
Continuing Operations EBITDA adjusted for non-cash stock option expense and non-controlling interests for the six-month period ended April 2, 2011 was $611,000 versus $185,000 during the same six-month period last year. The Company’s net loss from continuing operations for the six-month period ended April 2, 2011 was $1,585,000, or $0.46 per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $1,395,000, or $0.40 per basic and diluted share, for the same three-month period last year.
The decreases in Continuing Operations EBITDA and net loss from continuing operations for the three and six month periods ended April 2, 2011 as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2010 were primarily the result of increased food costs as a result of higher commodity prices, poor weather conditions and a decrease in operating income from the VIEs that were consolidated as of October 3, 2010.
Compared to the same three month period last year, Company-wide same store sales increased 0.7%.

| (a) | EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle. Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company believes the use of this non-GAAP financial measure enhances an overall understanding of the Company's past financial performance as well as providing useful information to the investor because of its historical use by the Company as both a performance measure and measure of liquidity, and the use of EBITDA by virtually all companies in the restaurant sector as a measure of both performance and liquidity. However, investors should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for determining the Company's operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. A reconciliation of EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, pre-tax income (loss), is included above. |
