“We are very pleased to report strong second quarter results, highlighted by significant operating margin improvement and robust net income growth. Our solid performance reflects our strategy to focus on our most profitable company-owned stores while growing our industry leading brands through new franchise relationships in favorable locations throughout Brazil,” said Mr. Ricardo Bomeny, President and CEO of Brazil Fast Food. “The outlook for our business for the second half of the year remains positive and we will continue to invest in our brands in the quarters ahead.”
Second Quarter 2011 Results
System-wide sales grew 19.8% in the second quarter to R$207.9 million, driven by an increase in franchised points of sale as well as higher sales from company-owned stores.
Total revenue for the second quarter 2011 increased by 7.6% to R$51.0 million from R$47.4 million in the second quarter 2010. Revenue growth was driven primarily by the continued expansion of Brazil Fast Food’s franchise network and higher sales from company-owned stores.
The Company ended the second quarter of 2011 with 805 points of sale, compared to 735 in the comparable period in 2010.
Net revenue for company-owned and operated outlets was up 9.0% year over year to R$38.3 million in the second quarter of 2011, reflecting an increase in net revenues across the Company’s KFC and Pizza Hut brands, offset somewhat by a decrease in net revenues for the Company’s Bob’s brand due to a reduction in company-owned Bob’s outlets from 55 as of June 30, 2010, to 39 at the end of second quarter 2011 and also offset somewhat by a decrease in Doggis net revenues.
Net revenue from franchisees increased 29.2% year over year to R$7.8 million, driven primarily by an increase in number of franchised retail outlets to 736, up from 650 in the same period a year ago. Other revenue and income totaled R$4.8 million in the second quarter of 2011.
Operating expenses grew 2.0% to R$46.9 million in the second quarter of 2011, primarily due to higher administrative expenses to support the growth of the business as well as increased store costs and expenses. As a percentage of revenue, operating costs declined from 97.1% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2010 to 92.1% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2011, mainly attributable to the company’s strategy to limit its direct operations to its most profitable outlets and also due to improved franchise margins.
Operating income for the second quarter of 2011 was R$4.0 million, compared to operating income of R$1.4 million in the second quarter of 2010. Operating margin in the second quarter of 2011 was 7.9% compared to 2.9% in the same period of 2010.
EBITDA in the second quarter of 2011 was R$5.4 million, compared to R$2.8 million in the second quarter of 2010. EBITDA margin was 10.5% in the second quarter of 2011, compared to 8.1% in the same period of 2010. A table reconciling EBITDA to its nearest GAAP equivalent is provided elsewhere in this press release.
Interest income was R$0.2 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared to interest expense of R$0.7 million in the second quarter of 2010. The reduction in interest expense is attributable to lower interest rates as well as a reduction in the Company's debt.
Net income for the second quarter of 2011 was R$3.3 million, or R$0.41 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of R$0.3 million, or R$0.03 per basic and diluted share, in the same period of 2010.
Six Months 2011 Results
For the six months ended in June 30, 2011, total net revenue was R$105.9 million, up 8.7% from R$97.5 million in the comparable period of 2010. Operating income was R$8.9 million, up 142.9% from R$3.7 million in the comparable period in 2010. Operating margin was 8.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 3.8% in the comparable period in 2010. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was R$7.5 million, up 252.7% from R$2.1 million in the comparable period in 2010. Basic and diluted earnings per share were R$0.93 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to R$0.26 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Financial Condition
As of the balance sheet date on June 30, 2011 the Company had R$20.9 million in cash. Total shareholders' equity was R$40.5 million at the end of the second quarter of 2011, compared to R$33.2 million at the end of 2010.
Business Outlook
“Our primary goal in 2011 is to profitably grow and strategically position our leading brands in Brazil, while continuing to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our existing operations. We also will continue to evaluate the acquisition or development of new brands opportunistically," said Mr. Ricardo Bomeny, President and CEO of Brazil Fast Food. "We see a continuation of the current favorable business environment in 2011 and expect to benefit from, among other factors, increased spending associated with the build-out to support the World Cup and Olympics to be hosted in 2014 and 2016, respectively," concluded Mr. Bomeny.

| RECONCILIATION OF EBITDA TO NET INCOME |
| EBITDA represents earnings before net interest expense, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization. Our management believes EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating companies in our industry. In addition, our management believes that EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculation of EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing and income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending, which items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. As a result, our management uses EBITDA as a measure to evaluate the performance of our business. However, EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and when analyzing our operating performance, investors should use EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for, income from operations and net income, each as determined in accordance with GAAP. Not all companies use identical calculations, and our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as a tax and debt service payments. |
