    Total revenues were $430.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to $418.9 million in the prior year second quarter. Net income and diluted net income per share were $24.7 million and $0.42, respectively.

    Operating Results

    Comparable restaurant sales at The Cheesecake Factory and Grand Lux Cafe increased 2.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 from the second quarter of the prior year. By concept, comparable restaurant sales grew 2.3% at The Cheesecake Factory and were flat at Grand Lux Cafe.

    “We continue to demonstrate a best-in-class competitive position with our sixth consecutive quarter of positive comparable sales and increases in guest traffic,” said David Overton, Chairman and CEO. “We experienced higher sales in every day part, with solid gains in the ‘shoulder periods,’ consistent with our performance last quarter. Our average ticket progressed nicely again this quarter as well, with menu mix showing further improvement, as expected.

    “In spite of the high food cost inflation environment, we are managing expenses well, offsetting cost pressures to deliver solid earnings growth. Our operators are doing an outstanding job of running our restaurants efficiently and productively. We are on-track to deliver mid-teens earnings per share growth this year, which is in-line with our longer-term objectives,” continued Overton.

    Development

    The Company currently expects to open seven new restaurants in fiscal 2011. Its most recent opening – The Cheesecake Factory in Short Hills, New Jersey – opened on July 18, 2011, as previously announced.

    Capital Allocation

    Based on its outlook for continued, healthy cash flow generation in fiscal 2011, the Company is increasing its share repurchase target for fiscal 2011 to a range of between $125 million and $150 million, from its previous target of $100 million.

    During the second quarter, the Company repurchased 1,482,343 shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $44.4 million. Year-to-date, the Company has repurchased 3,231,463 shares at a total cost of approximately $95.0 million.

    “We are confident in the near- and long-term outlook for our Company. The health of our business drives our ability to generate increasingly stronger levels of cash flow, which we are returning to shareholders in a meaningful way through share repurchases this year,” concluded Overton.

    In addition to the results provided in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in this press release, the Company is providing non-GAAP measurements which present the second quarter and year-to-date fiscal 2010 changes to net income and diluted net income per share excluding the impact from a certain item. Additional detail regarding this item can be found in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 29, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    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.

    (2) The diluted weighted average shares outstanding are different for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 29, 2010. As a result, the after-tax impact to diluted net income per share from unwinding the interest rate collar in fiscal 2010 is not the same for both periods.
