LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 6, 2007--Papa John's International, Inc. (NASDAQ: PZZA) today announced revenues of $262.8 million for the third quarter of 2007, representing an increase of 9.6% from revenues of $239.7 million for the same period in 2006. Net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $4.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share (including an after-tax loss of $7.0 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, from the consolidation of the results of the franchisee-owned cheese purchasing company, BIBP Commodities, Inc. (BIBP), a variable interest entity, and a gain of $2.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, from the finalization of certain income tax issues), compared to 2006 third quarter net income of $13.1 million, or $0.40 per diluted share (including an after-tax gain of $3.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, from the consolidation of BIBP, and a gain of $950,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, from the finalization of certain income tax issues).
Revenues were $779.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, representing an increase of 7.7% from revenues of $723.6 million for the same period in 2006. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $25.0 million, or $0.82 per diluted share (including a net loss of $12.5 million or $0.41 per diluted share, from the consolidation of BIBP and a gain of $2.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, from the previously mentioned finalization of certain income tax issues), compared to last year's net income of $44.4 million, or $1.33 per diluted share (including an after-tax gain of $10.4 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, from the consolidation of BIBP and a gain of $950,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, from the previously mentioned finalization of certain income tax issues).

"Our system had an excellent third quarter," commented Papa John's president and chief executive officer, Nigel Travis. "To run positive comp sales in this competitive market place, and against strong sales during the same period last year, is a testament to the strength of our brand. I am also pleased with our revenue and earnings growth for the quarter, and our outlook for the remainder of the year. We will continue to work hard to wow our customers with quality products and superior service to help our system manage through what continues to be a challenging cost environment."
Revenues Comparison
Consolidated revenues were $262.8 million for the third quarter of 2007, an increase of $23.1 million or 9.6%, over the corresponding 2006 period. The increase in revenues was principally due to an $18.8 million increase in domestic company-owned restaurant revenues, reflecting the acquisition of 54 domestic restaurants during the last five months of 2006 and the acquisition of 61 domestic restaurants during the first nine months of 2007. Other sales increased $2.5 million due to expanded commercial volumes at our print and promotions operations. International revenues increased $2.0 million due to the acquisition of five restaurants in Beijing, China in December 2006 and increased royalty revenues from additional franchised units.
For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2007, consolidated revenues increased $56.0 million, or 7.7%, principally due to the reasons mentioned above.
Operating Results and Cash Flow
Operating Results
Our pre-tax income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2007 was $3.8 million, compared to $19.8 million for the corresponding period in 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, pre-tax income was $35.7 million compared to $68.8 million for the corresponding period in 2006. Excluding the impact of the consolidation of BIBP, third quarter 2007 pre-tax income from continuing operations was $14.5 million, which is substantially flat with 2006 comparable results, and pre-tax income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $55.0 million, an increase of $3.2 million (6.3%) over the 2006 comparable results of $51.8 million. An analysis of the changes in pre-tax income from continuing operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively (excluding the consolidation of BIBP), are summarized as follows (analyzed on a segment basis -- see the Summary Financial Data table that follows for the reconciliation of segment income to consolidated income below):
-- Domestic Company-owned Restaurant Segment. Domestic
company-owned restaurants' operating income for the three
months ended September 30, 2007 was $3.5 million, or a
decrease of $2.1 million, from the comparable 2006 period. For
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, operating
income was $19.2 million, or a decrease of $3.8 million, from
the comparable 2006 period. The decline in operating income
for the three- and nine-month periods is primarily due to an
increase in wages (including the impact of a federal minimum
wage increase in July 2007 and certain other minimum wage
increases in various states), increased commodity costs and
increased marketing expenditures at the local market level.
The third quarter 2007 results also include a loss of $500,000
associated with our plan to sell certain company-owned
restaurants in one market. The nine-month period results were
favorably impacted by a $594,000 pre-tax gain associated with
the termination of a lease agreement in the second quarter of
2007.
-- Domestic Commissary Segment. Domestic commissaries' operating
income increased approximately $1.5 million and $3.6 million
for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30,
2007, respectively, from the comparable 2006 periods. These
increases are principally due to increased volumes of higher
margin fresh dough products and improved margins from other
commodities.
-- Domestic Franchising Segment. Domestic franchising operating
income decreased $501,000 and $1.1 million for the three- and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively,
from the comparable 2006 periods. These decreases are
principally due to costs associated with an increase in our
field organizational support staff to improve the performance
of our domestic franchise operations. Royalty revenue was
flat, as an approximate 2.0% decrease in equivalent franchise
units due to various acquisitions of franchise units by the
company was offset by a reduction in royalty waivers granted
to franchisees.
-- International Segment. The international operating results,
which exclude the Perfect Pizza operations in the United
Kingdom that were sold in March 2006, reported losses of $2.0
million and $6.4 million for the three- and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2007, respectively, compared to losses of
$2.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively, in the same
periods of the prior year. The improvement in the operating
results for the nine-month period was due to the prior year
results including a $470,000 charge incurred in the second
quarter of 2006 related to management reorganization costs in
one of our international operating units. Increased revenues
in 2007 due to the growth in number of units and unit volumes
were substantially offset by increased personnel and
infrastructure investment costs.
-- All Others Segment. The "All others" reporting segment
reported operating earnings of $1.3 million and $4.0 million
for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30,
2007, respectively, compared to $1.1 million and $3.8 million,
respectively, in the same periods of the prior year. The
increase of $242,000 in operating income for the three-month
period was primarily due to an improvement in the operating
results of our print and promotions operations, reflecting an
increase in our sales to commercial customers. The increase of
$249,000 for the nine-month period was primarily due to the
improved operating results of our online operation. The
nine-month period operating results at our print and
promotions operations during 2007 are substantially the same
as the 2006 results.
-- Unallocated Corporate Segment. Unallocated corporate expenses
decreased approximately $1.0 million and $4.0 million for the
three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007,
respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of
2006. The decreases in both periods are primarily due to lower
general and administrative costs, including management
incentives (as more fully discussed below), health insurance
and legal costs. The nine-month period decrease was also
impacted by the collection of a $650,000 receivable, which had
previously been reserved, from Papa Card, Inc., a nonstock,
nonprofit corporation, which administers the Papa John's gift
card program.
The following table summarizes our recorded expense (income) associated with our management incentive programs (in thousands):

=======================================
Decrease $ (854) $(4,386)
========= =========
The decrease in the executive performance unit incentive plan expense for the three- and nine-month periods of 2007, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods, was primarily due to the forfeiture of units associated with certain executive departures and the change in the Founder Chairman's status from an employee director of the company to a non-employee director during the second quarter of 2007.
The annual management incentive bonus plan is based on the company's annual operating income performance and certain sales measures as compared to pre-established targets. The decrease in the expense for the three- and nine-month periods in 2007 as compared to the corresponding prior year periods was primarily due to updated sales and operating income projections for the full year and the transition of the Founder Chairman to a non-employee director status.
Net interest expense included in the unallocated corporate segment, increased approximately $1.0 million and $3.5 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to the corresponding 2006 periods, principally due to a higher average debt balance resulting from share repurchase activity under our share repurchase program and franchise restaurant acquisitions during the last twelve months. The increase in net interest costs was offset, in this operating segment, by an increase in allocations to the operating units receiving corporate support for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the corresponding periods of 2006, partially due to an increase in the number of company-owned restaurants.
During the third quarter of 2007, the company recorded a $2.4 million reduction in its customary income tax expense due to the finalization of certain income tax issues. The effective income tax rate was 29.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to 36.1% in the corresponding 2006 period.
Cash Flow
Cash flow from continuing operations was $47.2 million in the first nine months of 2007 as compared to $67.9 million for the comparable period in 2006. The consolidation of BIBP decreased cash flow from operations by approximately $19.4 million in the first nine months of 2007 and increased cash flow from operations by approximately $17.0 million in the comparable period in 2006. Excluding the impact of the consolidation of BIBP, cash flow from continuing operations increased $15.7 million in the first nine months of 2007 as compared to the corresponding 2006 period, primarily due to an increase in net income and an improvement in working capital including accounts receivable, inventories and other liabilities.
Form 10-Q Filing
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 and cash flow for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007.
Comparable Sales, System-wide Sales and Unit Count
Domestic system-wide comparable sales for the third quarter of 2007 increased 0.2% (composed of a 0.5% increase at company-owned restaurants and flat sales at franchised restaurants). Domestic system-wide comparable sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased 0.2% (composed of a 0.1% decrease at company-owned restaurants and a 0.3% decrease at franchised restaurants). Comparable sales percentage represents the change in year-over-year sales for the same base of restaurants for the same calendar period.
Worldwide system sales increased 4.3% to $524.6 million for the third quarter of 2007 and increased 3.5% to $1.59 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The following table summarizes system-wide sales for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and September 24, 2006, on an actual U.S. dollar basis (dollars in thousands):

================================
During the third quarter of 2007, 38 domestic restaurants (two company-owned and 36 franchised) were opened, including ten franchised units in Live Nation amphitheaters under a previously announced agreement. Additionally, 29 international restaurants (one company-owned and 28 franchised) were opened, while 13 domestic and five international franchised restaurants were closed, resulting in 49 net openings worldwide for the quarter. There were 124 net openings worldwide for the first nine months of 2007. Our total domestic development pipeline as of September 30, 2007 included 335 restaurants scheduled to open over the next nine years.
At September 30, 2007, there were 3,139 Papa John's restaurants (660 company-owned and 2,479 franchised) operating in all 50 states and 27 countries. The company-owned unit count includes 130 restaurants operated in majority-owned domestic joint venture arrangements, the operating results of which are fully consolidated into the company's results.
Acquisition Activity
As previously disclosed, the company acquired 31 franchised Papa John's restaurants located in Missouri and Kansas on July 2, 2007. The purchase price of $10.3 million, of which approximately $7.2 million was recorded as goodwill, was paid in cash. In addition, during the third quarter of 2007, the company completed the acquisition of 11 franchised Papa John's restaurants located in the Washington, D.C. area through our 70% owned joint venture, Colonel's Limited, LLC. The purchase price of $6.1 million, of which approximately $4.7 million was recorded as goodwill, was paid in cash. At this time, the company does not expect to acquire a significant number of additional restaurants from the franchisees in the future.
International Update
A total of 29 restaurants were opened in international markets during the third quarter of 2007, of which nine were located in our fastest-growing markets, Korea and China. As of September 30, 2007, the company had a total of 412 corporate and franchised restaurants operating internationally, of which 129 were located in Korea and China. Our total international development pipeline as of September 30, 2007 included approximately 800 restaurants scheduled to open over the next nine years. During October 2007, we entered into a 40-unit development agreement in Poland and a 50-unit development agreement in Turkey. We expect the initial unit openings for both new countries will occur in 2008.
Share Repurchase Activity
The company repurchased approximately 990,000 shares of its common stock at an average price of $26.39 per share, or a total of $26.1 million, during the third quarter of 2007, and 2.2 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $27.99 per share, or a total of $61.9 million, during the first nine months of 2007. Subsequent to the third quarter of 2007, through October 31, 2007, the company repurchased an additional $10.9 million of common stock (471,000 shares at an average price of $23.21 per share). A total of 27,000 and 674,000 shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of stock options for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively.
There were 30.0 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2007 as compared to 32.6 million for the same period in 2006. Approximately 29.2 million actual shares of the company's common stock were outstanding as of September 30, 2007. The company's board of directors has authorized the repurchase of up to an aggregate $675 million of common stock through December 30, 2007, which was substantially completed as of October 31, 2007.
The company's share repurchase activity increased earnings per diluted share from continuing operations by $0.01 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 (no impact on the third quarter of 2007).
Franchise Agreement Renewals
The company today also announced the completion of the initial communication to its domestic franchisees of a Franchise Agreement Renewal Program (the Renewal Program). Substantially all existing franchise agreements have an initial 10-year term with a 10-year renewal option. Many of these original agreements have reached or will reach the end of their initial term in the next few years and will therefore require renewal.
The company collaborated with the Franchise Advisory Council, which consists of company and franchisee representatives of domestically owned restaurants, to develop a revised form of franchise agreement that will be available for execution upon renewal by existing franchisees (the Negotiated Agreement). The primary objectives of the negotiation of a revised form of franchise agreement included:
-- Providing visibility to franchisees as to the potential timing
and amount of future royalty rate increases;
-- Ensuring minimum funding levels for the National Marketing
Fund given the scale advantages of our larger competitors;
-- Providing a funding mechanism for continued investment in
maintaining and enhancing our online technological
capabilities; and
-- Addressing alternative marketing or other business
developments to ensure the new form of franchise agreement is
consistent and up to date.
Under the Renewal Program, the Company is offering certain renewal fee discounts to encourage all existing franchisees to renew under the Negotiated Agreement by December 31, 2007. Additionally, existing franchisees electing not to renew under the Negotiated Agreement by this date will be offered the then-current standard form of franchise agreement (the New Standard Agreement) upon their subsequent renewal.
One key provision of the Negotiated Agreement relates to the timing and amount of future royalty rate increases. A one-quarter percent increase in royalty rate, to 4.25%, has been announced effective in January 2008 for franchisees renewing under the Negotiated Agreement, which is expected to include the majority of franchisees. The royalty rate for all new franchisees and any existing franchisees who elect to renew under the New Standard Agreement will be 5% in 2008. Specific information related to this and other key provisions, including the expected financial impact on the company, is included in the company's Form 10-Q filing.
2007 Earnings Guidance Updated
In connection with the second quarter earnings release, the company revised the original earnings guidance for 2007, excluding the impact of the consolidation of BIBP, to a range of $1.56 to $1.60 per share. Based upon actual third quarter operating results, including the impact of the finalization of certain income tax issues, which resulted in an additional $0.08 of earnings per share, the company is updating its 2007 EPS guidance, excluding the impact of the consolidation of BIBP, to a range of $1.64 to $1.68 per share.
Our determination of the updated earnings guidance considered several factors, including the negative impact on our domestic company-owned restaurant operating results from the continued increases in commodities, such as the prices for cheese and wheat, as well as an increase in labor costs as a result of changes in federal and state minimum wage regulations.
We do not expect significant variances in the key operating assumption projections for full year 2007 included in our second quarter earnings release dated August 7, 2007, other than a modest increase in net interest expense and a modest decrease in average diluted shares as a result of share repurchase activity, and a reduction in net unit openings to a range of 180 to 200 net units due to a combination of slightly fewer projected openings and slightly greater projected closings.
Forward-Looking Statements
Except for historical information, this announcement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements reflect management's expectations based upon currently available information and data; however, actual results are subject to future events and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to materially differ from those projected in these statements. Certain factors that can cause actual results to materially differ include: the uncertainties associated with litigation; changes in pricing or other marketing or promotional strategies by competitors, which may adversely affect sales; new product and concept developments by food industry competitors; the ability of the company and its franchisees to meet planned growth targets and operate new and existing restaurants profitably; general economic conditions; increases in or sustained high cost levels of food ingredients and other commodities, paper, utilities, fuel, employee compensation and benefits, insurance and similar costs; the ability to obtain ingredients from alternative suppliers, if needed; health- or disease-related disruptions or consumer concerns about commodities supplies; the selection and availability of suitable restaurant locations; negotiation of suitable lease or financing terms; constraints on permitting and construction of restaurants; local governmental agencies' restrictions on the sale of certain food products; higher-than-anticipated construction costs; the hiring, training and retention of management and other personnel; changes in consumer taste, demographic trends, traffic patterns and the type, number and location of competing restaurants; franchisee relations; the timing of franchise agreement renewals; the possibility of impairment charges if our United Kingdom operations or recently acquired restaurants perform below our expectations; federal and state laws governing such matters as wages, benefits, working conditions, citizenship requirements and overtime, including legislation to further increase the federal and state minimum wage; and labor shortages in various markets resulting in higher required wage rates. The above factors might be especially harmful to the financial viability of franchisees or company-owned operations in under-penetrated or emerging markets, leading to greater unit closings than anticipated. Increases in projected claims losses for the company's self-insured coverage or within the captive franchise insurance program could have a significant impact on our operating results. Additionally, domestic franchisees are only required to purchase seasoned sauce and dough from our quality control centers (QC Centers) and changes in purchasing practices by domestic franchisees could adversely affect the financial results of our QC Centers. Our international operations are subject to additional factors, including political and health conditions in the countries in which the company or its franchisees operate; currency regulations and fluctuations; differing business and social cultures and consumer preferences; diverse government regulations and structures; ability to obtain high-quality ingredients and other commodities in a cost-effective manner; and differing interpretation of the obligations established in franchise agreements with international franchisees. Further information regarding factors that could affect the company's financial and other results is included in the company's Forms 10-Q and 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

amortization, net interest and income taxes. EBITDA provides us with
an understanding of one aspect of earnings before the impact of
investing and financing transactions and income taxes. While EBITDA
should not be construed as a substitute for net income or a better
indicator of liquidity than cash flows from operating activities,
which are determined in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), it is included herein
to provide additional information with respect to the ability of the
company to meet its future debt service, capital expenditure and
working capital requirements. EBITDA is not necessarily a measure of
the company's ability to fund its cash needs and it excludes
components that are significant in understanding and assessing our
results of operations and cash flows. In addition, EBITDA is not a
term defined by GAAP and as a result our measure of EBITDA might not
be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The above EBITDA calculation includes the operating results of BIBP
Commodities, Inc., a variable interest entity.
