Revenue and Operating Highlights
All revenues and operating highlights below are compared to the same period of the prior year and exclude the Incentive Contribution, unless otherwise noted.
Revenues
Consolidated revenues increased
-
Domestic company-owned restaurant sales increased
$9.4 million , or 6.5%, and$35.1 million , or 8.1%, for the three and nine months, respectively, primarily due to increases in comparable sales of 5.1% and 5.0%. The increase for the nine-month period was also due to the net acquisition of 50 restaurants in theDenver andMinneapolis markets from a franchisee in the second quarter of 2012. -
North America franchise royalty revenue increased approximately$600,000 , or 3.4%, and$2.0 million , or 3.4%, for the three and nine months, respectively, primarily due to increases in net franchise units over the prior year and increases in comparable sales of 0.6% and 1.3%, partially offset by royalty incentives offered to franchisees for meeting certain sales targets. The increase for the nine-month period was partially offset by reduced royalties attributable to the company's net acquisition of the 50 restaurants noted above. -
Domestic commissary sales increased
$5.4 million , or 4.1%, and$25.1 million , or 6.3%, for the three and nine months, respectively, primarily due to increases in sales volumes as well as increases in the prices of commodities. -
International revenues increased
$4.4 million , or 24.2%, and$11.2 million , or 21.4%, for the three and nine months, respectively, primarily due to increases in the number of restaurants and increases in comparable sales of 8.1% and 7.7%, calculated on a constant dollar basis.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Third quarter 2013 income before income taxes increased approximately
-
North America franchising increased primarily due to the increase in net restaurants and comparable sales, partially offset by royalty incentives offered to franchisees for meeting certain sales targets. -
International increased primarily due to the increase in net
restaurants and comparable sales results and an improvement in our
United Kingdom results, partially offset by higher operating losses in our company-ownedChina market. - Unallocated corporate expenses decreased primarily due to lower settlement costs than originally estimated for the previously disclosed Agne text messaging class action lawsuit.
These increases were partially offset by the following decrease:
- Domestic commissaries decreased as higher distribution costs more than offset the incremental profits associated with higher sales. We manage commissary results on a full year basis and anticipate the 2013 full year pre-tax income margin will approximate the 2012 margin.
Domestic company-owned restaurants income before income taxes approximated the prior year as the incremental profits associated with higher comparable sales of 5.1% were offset by a lower gross margin.

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities (from the consolidated statements of cash flows) less the purchase of property and equipment. We view free cash flow as an important measure because it is a factor that management uses in determining the amount of cash available for discretionary investment. Free cash flow is not a term defined by GAAP and as a result our measure of free cash flow might not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Free cash flow should not be construed as a substitute for or a better indicator of the company's performance than the company's GAAP measures.
