See accompanying notes. -6- PAPA JOHN'S INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) March 31, 1996 NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 29, 1996. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Papa John's International, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. NOTE 2 -- BUSINESS COMBINATIONS In February 1996, the Company purchased the assets and assumed certain liabilities of one Papa John's restaurant in Floyds Knob, Indiana, from Educators, Inc., a franchisee, for $60,000. The purchase price consisted of a cash payment of $30,000 and the issuance of 1,059 shares of Company stock. In May 1996, the Company purchased the assets and assumed certain liabilities of three Papa John's restaurants in Indianapolis, Indiana from Acumen, Inc., a franchisee. The total consideration paid was approximately $1,425,000 consisting of 33,474 shares of Company common stock. The above business combinations were accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. NOTE 3 -- FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS In April 1996, the Company purchased 6 acres of land in Louisville, Kentucky for approximately $787,000. Of the total purchase price, approximately $520,000 was financed through non-interest bearing promissory note with the sellers. The note require quarterly principal payments through October 1996, at which time such notes will be paid in full. The land is adjacent to 31 previously purchased acres which will be the site of the Company's corporate headquarters and Kentucky commissary facility. -7- NOTE 4 -- COMMON STOCK OFFERING In May 1996, the Company completed a public offering of one million shares of its common stock at a price of $47.25 per share. The net proceeds to the Company of the offering were approximately $44.5 million. The Company has granted an overallotment option to the underwriters to purchase up to a maximum of 138,500 additional shares of common stock at $47.25 per share. This option is exercisable for 30 days from May 1, 1996, and, if exercised, would provide additional net proceeds to the Company of approximately $6.2 million. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues. Total revenues increased 47.5% to $76.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996, from $52.0 million for the comparable period in 1995. Restaurant sales increased 56.9% to $35.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996, from $22.5 million for the comparable period in 1995. This increase was primarily due to an -8- increase of 51.2% in the number of equivalent Company-owned restaurants open during the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to the same period in the prior year. "Equivalent restaurants" represent the number of restaurants open at the beginning of a given period, adjusted for restaurants opened or acquired during the period on a weighted average basis. Also, sales increased 8.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1996, over the comparable period in 1995, for Company-owned restaurants open throughout both periods. Franchise royalties increased 30.1% to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996, from $3.0 million for the comparable period in 1995. This increase was primarily due to an increase of 31.1% in the number of equivalent franchised restaurants open during the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to the same period in the prior year. Also, sales increased 5.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1996, over the comparable period in 1995, for franchised restaurants open throughout both periods. Franchise and development fees remained relatively consistent at $818,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to $813,000 for the comparable period in 1995, as franchised restaurant openings for the two periods were also relatively consistent. Commissary sales increased 42.8% to $31.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996, from $22.1 million for the comparable period in 1995. This increase was primarily the result of the increases in equivalent franchised restaurants and comparable sales for franchised restaurants noted above. Additionally, sales for the Orlando commissary increased for the three months ended March 31, 1996, versus the comparable period in 1995 due to its conversion from a dough production facility to a full-service commissary and distribution center beginning in August 1995. Equipment and other sales increased 43.4% to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996, from $3.6 million for the comparable period in 1995. This increase was primarily due to the increase in equivalent franchised restaurants open during the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. Costs and Expenses. Restaurant cost of sales, which consist of food, beverage and paper costs, decreased as a percentage of restaurant sales to 27.8% for the three months ended March 31, 1996, from 28.4% for the same period in 1995. This decrease was primarily due to lower product costs resulting from increased purchasing power, and more efficient food usage at the restaurant level due to improved management information provided by point of sale technology and a maturing restaurant base. Restaurant salaries and benefits (26.9% vs. 26.7%), advertising and related costs (9.3% vs. 9.3%) and occupancy costs (5.1% vs. 5.0%) were all relatively consistent as a percentage of restaurant sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. Other restaurant operating expenses decreased as a percentage of restaurant sales to 13.4% for the three months ended March 31, 1996, from 14.4% for the comparable period in 1995. Other operating expenses include all other restaurant-level operating costs, the material components of which are automobile mileage reimbursement for delivery drivers, telephone costs, training costs and -9- workers compensation insurance. Other operating expenses also include an allocation of commissary operating expenses equal to 3% of Company-owned restaurant sales in order to assess a portion of the costs of dough production and food and equipment purchasing and storage to Company-owned restaurants. The decrease in other restaurant operating expenses as a percentage of restaurant sales was primarily due to a smaller relative number of new restaurants opened during the first three months of 1996 (13 new restaurants in relation to 217 existing restaurants, or 6.0%) compared to the first three months of 1995 (14 new restaurants in relation to 133 existing restaurants, or 10.5%). Restaurant operating expenses historically have been higher as a percentage of restaurant sales in the early months of operations of new restaurants. The Company also revised its workers compensation insurance coverage for 1996, resulting in reduced costs at the restaurant level. Commissary, equipment and other expenses include cost of sales and operating expenses associated with sales of food, paper, equipment, printing and promotional items to franchisees and other customers. These costs remained relatively consistent as a percentage of combined commissary sales and equipment and other sales at 92.2% for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to 92.3% for the same period in 1995. A decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of combined commissary sales and equipment and other sales to 79.9% for the three months ended March 31, 1996, from 80.4% for the comparable period in 1995 due to increased purchasing power was substantially offset by an increase in other operating expenses to 6.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1996, from 6.2% for the comparable period in 1995 due primarily to increased delivery costs resulting from larger commissary service areas. General and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of total revenues to 7.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1996, from 8.8% for the comparable period in 1995. This decrease was primarily due to the hiring of additional corporate and restaurant management personnel throughout 1995 to develop the infrastructure necessary to support planned growth for 1996 and beyond. The infrastructure was substantially in place at the end of 1995, providing efficiencies in 1996 as revenue growth continued. Depreciation and amortization increased as a percentage of total revenues to 3.8% for the three months ended March 31, 1996, from 3.4% for the comparable period in 1995. This increase was primarily due to additional capital expenditures by the Company, the amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions and the amortization of deferred pre-opening costs for newly-opened restaurants and commissaries and other deferred expenses, partially offset by the impact of a change in the depreciable lives of certain restaurant equipment and signage effective at the beginning of the third quarter of 1995 to more accurately reflect the economic lives of such assets. Investment Income. Investment income increased to $528,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, from $426,000 for the comparable period in 1995. This increase was primarily the result of higher average investment balances during the first quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995 due to the investment of proceeds from the Company's public offering of common stock in August 1995. -10- Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense reflects a combined federal, state and local effective tax rate of 37% for the three months ended March 31, 1996, versus 38% for the comparable period in 1995. This decrease is primarily due to the impact of tax-exempt income generated by the investment portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 1996. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company requires capital primarily for the development and acquisition of restaurants, the addition of new commissary and support services facilities and equipment and the enhancement of corporate systems and facilities. Capital expenditures of $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996, were primarily funded by cash flow from operations. Cash flow from operations increased to $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996, from $3.4 million for the comparable period in 1995, due primarily to the higher level of net income for the first quarter of 1996. In addition to restaurant development and possible acquisitions, significant capital projects for the next twelve months are expected to include the construction of new commissary and distribution facilities in Denver, Colorado and Phoenix, Arizona. The Company also expects to begin construction during mid-1996 of a 150,000 to 200,000 square foot facility in Louisville, Kentucky, scheduled for completion in mid-1997, approximately one-half of which will accommodate relocation and expansion of the Louisville commissary facility and the remainder of which will accommodate relocation and consolidation of corporate offices. In addition, during each of 1996 and 1997 the Company expects to provide approximately six to eight million dollars in loans to selected franchisees under a recently adopted loan program. However, the amounts actually provided during 1996 and 1997 may vary as the Company gains experience with the loan program. Capital resources available at March 31, 1996, include $11.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, $33.3 million of investments and $7.6 million available under a line of credit expiring June 29, 1996. In May 1996 the Company received net proceeds of approximately $44.5 million from a public offering of one million shares of its common stock. The Company expects to fund planned capital expenditures for the next twelve months from these resources and operating cash flows. -11- PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
