Management believes global restaurant and comparable sales growth information, as defined in the table above, is useful in analyzing our results since our franchisees pay royalties that are based on a percentage of franchise sales. Franchise sales generate commissary revenue in the United States and in certain international markets. Global restaurant and comparable sales growth information is also useful in analyzing industry trends and the strength of our brand. Franchise restaurant sales are not included in company revenues.

Revenues Highlights

Consolidated revenues increased $32.5 million, or 11.9%, for the third quarter of 2011 and increased $72.1 million, or 8.6%, for the nine months ended September 25, 2011, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increases in revenues were primarily due to the following:

• Domestic company-owned restaurant sales increased $8.4 million, or 7.0%, and $20.4 million, or 5.5%, for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2011, respectively, primarily due to increases in comparable sales of 6.3% and 5.0%, respectively.
• North America franchise royalty revenues increased approximately $1.3 million, or 7.9%, and $3.7 million, or 7.0%, for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2011, respectively, due to increases in comparable sales of 4.9% and 3.6%, respectively, and increases in the number of franchise restaurants.
• Domestic commissary sales increased $19.0 million, or 17.0%, and $41.1 million, or 12.1%, for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2011, respectively. The increases were primarily due to increases in the selling prices of certain commodities, most notably cheese, and increases in sales volumes.
• International revenues increased $3.6 million, or 30.6%, and $8.4 million, or 24.5%, for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2011, respectively, primarily due to increases in the number of restaurants and increases in comparable sales of 4.7% and 5.0%, respectively, calculated on a constant dollar basis. Through the first three quarters of 2010, the International segment included revenues from company-owned restaurants located in the United Kingdom, which were sold in the third quarter of 2010.

Operating Highlights

Our income before income taxes, net of noncontrolling interests, for the third quarter of 2011 was $16.0 million, compared to $11.9 million for the corresponding quarter in 2010 ($12.5 million in 2010, excluding the impact of BIBP, an increase of $3.5 million, or 28.0%). For the nine months ended September 25, 2011, pre-tax income, net of noncontrolling interests, was $59.8 million, compared to $58.5 million for the same period in 2010 ($53.0 million in 2010 excluding the impact of BIBP, an increase of $6.9 million, or 13.0%).

Income before income taxes, net of noncontrolling interests, is summarized in the following table on a reporting segment basis:

		Three Months Ended												Nine Months Ended
		Sept. 25,				Sept. 26,				Increase				Sept. 25,				Sept. 26,				Increase
		2011				2010				(Decrease)				2011				2010				(Decrease)

The increase in income before income taxes, net of noncontrolling interests, of $3.5 million, or 28.0%, for the three months ended September 25, 2011, excluding the impact of BIBP in 2010, was primarily due to the following:

• Domestic commissaries and North America franchising operating income both increased due to strong comparable sales results and an increase in the number of restaurants.
• International operating income improved due to increased royalties attributable to strong comparable sales and net unit growth in addition to improved commissary results in the United Kingdom.

These increases in the quarter were partially offset by the following:

• Domestic company-owned restaurants operating income declined due to higher commodity prices, primarily cheese, partially offset by incremental profits from strong comparable sales results.
• Unallocated corporate expenses increased slightly, due to increases in franchise incentives and initiatives and a charge of approximately $800,000 related to lease obligations associated with our former Perfect Pizza operations in the United Kingdom, which were partially offset by a significant decrease in interest expense due to lower debt levels and a lower effective interest rate on borrowings.

The increase in income before income taxes, net of noncontrolling interests, of $6.9 million, or 13.0%, for the nine months ended September 25, 2011, excluding the impact of BIBP in 2010, was primarily due to the previously stated reasons, in addition to the following items:

• "All others" operating results declined primarily due to lower online ordering fees and an increase in infrastructure and support costs at our "eCommerce" business.
• Unallocated corporate expenses decreased due to reduced franchise incentives and initiatives, lower short- and long-term incentive compensation costs, and lower sponsorship fees, partially offset by an increase in travel costs.

Our effective income tax rates, excluding BIBP, were 29.1% and 32.1% for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2011, respectively, representing decreases of 3.2% and 1.2%, from the prior year rates. The lower effective rates were primarily due to the finalization of certain income tax issues which resulted in income tax benefits of $1.0 million and $1.6 million for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively. Our effective income tax rate may fluctuate from quarter to quarter for various reasons, including the settlement or resolution of specific federal and state issues.

See the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for additional information concerning our operating results, including segment and cash flow information, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 25, 2011.

The company's free cash flow for the first nine months of 2011 and 2010 was as follows (in thousands):

			Nine Months Ended
			Sept. 25,				Sept. 26,
			2011				2010
	Net cash provided by operating activities		$	84,348			$	62,159
	Pre-tax income from BIBP cheese purchasing entity			-				(5,505	)
	Purchase of property and equipment			(20,647	)			(23,608	)
	Free cash flow *		$	63,701			$	33,046
*	The increase in free cash flow is due to higher net income, favorable changes in working capital, primarily due to timing of payments, and lower purchases of property and equipment.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities (from the consolidated statements of cash flows) excluding the impact of BIBP, less the purchase of property and equipment. We view free cash flow as an important measure because it is one factor that management uses in determining the amount of cash available for discretionary investment. Free cash flow is not a term defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("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.

Our net debt position, defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents, was $26.3 million at September 25, 2011, compared to $52.8 million at December 26, 2010.

Diluted earnings per share increased $0.01 and $0.07 for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively, due to the reductions in shares outstanding. Approximately 24.5 million actual shares of the company's common stock were outstanding as of September 25, 2011.

Non-GAAP Measures

Certain financial measures we present in this press release exclude the impact of the consolidation of BIBP, which is not a measure that is defined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should not be construed as a substitute for or a better indicator of the company's performance than the company's GAAP measures. Management believes presenting the 2010 financial information excluding the impact of BIBP is important for purposes of comparison to current year results. As previously announced, we terminated our cheese purchasing arrangement with BIBP in February 2011 and BIBP operated at breakeven during the first two months of 2011. The presentation of the non-GAAP measures in this press release is made alongside the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

The company has provided the following table to reconcile the pro forma financial results we present in this press release excluding the impact in 2010 of BIBP to our GAAP financial measures for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 25, 2011 and September 26, 2010:
