Pizza Inn Holdings, Inc. Reports Results for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2013

Company Continues to Grow Pie Five Pizza Co. Concept


THE COLONY, Texas, Nov. 7, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PIZZA INN HOLDINGS, INC. (Nasdaq:PZZI)

First Quarter Fiscal Year 2013 Highlights:

  • The Company opened an additional Pie Five Pizza Co. restaurant
  • Company-owned restaurant sales increased 41.4% over the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to $1.8 million
  • Net income decreased $0.4 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to a loss of $58,000
  • Compared to first quarter of fiscal 2012, total domestic franchised same store sales declined 6.8%
  • EBITDA decreased $0.4 million to $0.3 million compared to first quarter of fiscal 2012

Pizza Inn Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:PZZI) today announced results for the first fiscal quarter ended September 23, 2012. First quarter net income decreased $0.4 million to a loss of $58,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to net income of $0.3 million, or $0.04 per share, for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. The decline in net income was primarily attributable to lower revenue earned from franchising and food and supply sales and higher costs related to the continued development of the Pie Five Pizza Co. concept when compared to the first quarter ended September 25, 2011.

First quarter revenues decreased to $10.4 million in fiscal 2013 compared to $11.1 million in the prior fiscal year. Food and supply sales decreased by approximately $1.2 million, or 13.4%, due to the combined impact of a decrease in the average number of restaurants open, a 9.4% decrease in total domestic franchisee retail sales and a decrease in non-proprietary items purchased from the Company by franchisees. Compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012, Company-owned restaurant sales increased 41.4% to $1.8 million due primarily to new store openings. 

"We continue to develop and expand our Pie Five concept with the addition of one new store opened in the fiscal first quarter and our eighth store in October," commented Clinton Coleman, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased with the performance of the last several new stores and are planning to accelerate the opening of Pie Five stores in the second half of fiscal 2013. Our franchise development activities are ramping up, as experienced multi-unit operators in many markets are indicating a high degree of interest in the Pie Five concept. Meanwhile our Pie Five brand has drawn national attention as a result of being named a Hot Concept for 2012 by Nation's Restaurant News. We continue to invest in people and infrastructure in anticipation of further development of Company-owned and franchised units of our Pie Five concept." 

"The retail sales trend in the Pizza Inn system continued to be impacted during the first quarter by the high level of pricing competition in the pizza market. While food and supply sales relative to total domestic franchisee sales remained below our historical norms during the first quarter, the trend improved from the pace of the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2012. We continue to evaluate new initiatives for providing high-quality, non-proprietary food products to our franchisees," Mr. Coleman concluded.
