QUARTER 2006 EARNINGS

April Comparable Sales Results Announced;

2006 Earnings Guidance Updated

Highlights

First quarter earnings per share of $0.47 in 2006 vs. $0.30 in 2005 ($0.37 in 2006 vs. $0.33 in 2005, excluding the consolidation of the companys franchisee-owned cheese purchasing entity, BIBP Commodities, Inc. (BIBP)).

35 restaurant openings and 40 closures during the quarter, including 17 restaurant closures in Mexico.

Domestic system-wide comparable sales for the quarter increased 4.2%.

Domestic system-wide comparable sales for April increased 3.8%.

Earnings guidance for 2006 updated to a range of $1.40 to $1.46 per share.

Louisville, Kentucky (April 25, 2006) Papa Johns International, Inc. (NASDAQ: PZZA) today announced revenues of $242.3 million for the first quarter of 2006, representing a decrease of 2.5% from revenues of $248.6 million for the same period in 2005. Net income for the first quarter of 2006 was $16.0 million, or $0.47 per share (including a net gain of $3.4 million, or $0.10 per share, from the consolidation of the results of the franchisee-owned cheese purchasing company, BIBP Commodities, Inc. (BIBP), a variable interest entity), compared to last years net income of $10.0 million, or $0.30 per share (including a net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.03 per share, from the consolidation of BIBP). The first quarter 2005 operating results also included a pre-tax charge of $925,000 ($0.02 per share) associated with the closing of one of our commissary facilities.

The first quarter pre-tax income from continuing operations increased $9.9 million as compared to the corresponding 2005 period. Excluding the impact of BIBP, pre-tax income from continuing operations increased $2.9 million, or $0.05 per share from the corresponding 2005 period.

As previously disclosed, the company sold its Perfect Pizza operations in the United Kingdom, including its franchise rights and leases related to 109 franchised restaurants and a distribution facility, on March 8, 2006. The purchase price was approximately $13.0 million, with $8.0 million received in cash at closing, and the balance to be received under the terms of an interest-bearing note over the next five years. We will continue to franchise and operate the Papa Johns brand in the United Kingdom.

We are pleased with our first quarter results, commented Papa Johns president and chief executive officer, Nigel Travis. Our system continues to perform well in a very competitive category. In fact, with positive comp sales in each of the first four months of this year, this makes sixteen consecutive months of positive comp sales for the Papa Johns system.

Revenues Comparison

The primary reason for the $6.3 million (2.5%) decrease in revenues for the first quarter of 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005, was a $4.0 million decrease in company-owned restaurant revenues, as the 6.1% increase in comparable sales for the quarter was more than offset by a decline in the number of company-owned units resulting from the sale of the 84 company units to a new franchisee at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2005. In addition, VIE restaurant revenues declined $2.7 million reflecting the sale of 19 restaurants at the beginning of the second quarter of 2005 by one of the franchisees to a third party, eliminating the VIE classification under Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (FIN 46), and the related consolidation of the operating results of such restaurants at that time. Changes in other revenue items substantially offset one another.

Operating Results and Cash Flow

Operating Results

Our pre-tax income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2006 was $24.8 million compared to $14.9 million for the corresponding period in 2005. Excluding the impact of the consolidation of BIBP, first quarter pre-tax income from continuing operations was $19.4 million, an increase of $2.9 million over 2005 comparable results. The increase of $2.9 million in pre-tax income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period in the previous year (excluding the consolidation of BIBP) is principally due to the following (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 increased $4.7 million for the quarter, primarily due to fixed cost leverage associated with the noted increase in comparable sales for the period and improved margin from an increase in restaurant pricing.

Domestic Franchising Segment. Domestic franchising operating income increased approximately $200,000 as the $873,000 increase in royalties from the 3.7% increase in comparable sales and the 84 restaurants that were sold by corporate to a franchisee at the beginning of the fourth quarter 2005, was substantially offset by an increase in administrative costs related to the field organizational restructuring implemented in late 2005 to better drive our domestic franchise operations.

Domestic Commissary Segment. Domestic commissaries operating income increased approximately $400,000 in the first quarter of 2006, as compared to the corresponding 2005 period primarily due to the margin on increased sales volumes. The favorable year-over-year impact of the first quarter 2005 pre-tax charge of $925,000 associated with the closing of the Jackson, Mississippi facility was substantially offset by an increase in delivery costs of approximately $800,000 in the first quarter of 2006, as compared to the corresponding 2005 period, reflecting an increase in fuel costs.

International Segment. The international segment, which excludes the Perfect Pizza operations that were sold in March 2006, reported an operating loss of $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to an operating loss of $857,000 in 2005. The decrease in operating results is principally due to increased costs related to the continued development of our support infrastructure throughout the international segment, including the United Kingdom, to support the accelerated development of both company-owned and franchised Papa Johns branded restaurants in our international markets. As reflected in our earlier guidance, the increase in year-over-year operating losses in the international segment is expected to continue throughout the remainder of 2006.

All Others Segment. The operating income for the All others reporting segment increased approximately $700,000 in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the corresponding 2005 period, primarily due to improved operating results from our insurance business and our partnership development activities.

Unallocated Corporate Segment. The unallocated corporate expenses increased $1.2 million for the quarter, as compared to the corresponding prior

year period, primarily due to an increase in equity compensation and executive performance unit incentive plan expense.

Stock options were awarded to the majority of management in late March 2005 with a two-year cliff vesting provision. Accordingly, a partial quarter of expense was recognized in the first quarter of 2005 (approximately $230,000) and a full quarter of expense was recognized in the first quarter of 2006 (approximately $700,000).

Additionally, performance units were awarded in 2005 and 2006 with each award having a three-year performance period. Therefore, the first quarter 2006 operating results include the allocable portion of the estimated cost of the performance unit program for units issued in both 2005 and 2006, while the first quarter of 2005 operating results included only the allocable portion of the estimated cost of the units issued in 2005.

Further, the ultimate cost associated with the performance units is based on the companys ending stock price and total shareholder return relative to a peer group over the three-year performance period ending in December 2007 for the 2005 program and December 2008 for the 2006 program, with the awards paid in cash at the end of the respective performance periods. The estimated ultimate cost associated with the 2005 program increased significantly throughout 2005 as a result of our stock price performance during the year. Therefore, the allocable portion of the estimated cost of the 2005 units recorded in the first quarter of 2006 was substantially larger than that recorded in the first quarter of 2005. The total expense related to the 2005 and 2006 performance unit programs was $788,000 in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to $154,000 in the first quarter of 2005.

The decline in net interest cost for the first quarter of 2006, as compared to the corresponding 2005 period, is principally due to a decrease in our average outstanding debt balance.

The income tax rate was 37.0% for both the first quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2005.

Cash Flow

Cash flow from continuing operations increased to $25.7 million in the first quarter of 2006 from $18.7 million for 2005. The consolidation of BIBP increased cash flow from operations by approximately $5.4 million in 2006 and reduced cash flow from operations by approximately $1.6 million in 2005. Excluding the impact of the consolidation of BIBP, cash flow from continuing operations was substantially flat year-over-year as the increase in income from continuing operations was offset by the classification in 2006 of $2.6 million of excess tax benefits related to the exercise of

non-qualified stock options from operating activities to financing activities as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment.

Form 10-Q Filing

See the Management Discussion & Analysis section of our first quarter Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for additional information concerning the operating results and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 26, 2006.

Comparable Sales and Unit Count

As previously announced, domestic system-wide comparable sales for the first quarter increased 4.2% (composed of a 6.1% increase at company-owned restaurants and a 3.7% increase at franchised restaurants). The timing of the Easter holiday weekend was estimated to have a 0.4% favorable impact on these first quarter results. Total system-wide international sales for Papa Johns branded units increased 29.1% for the quarter, on a constant U.S. dollar basis, over the comparable period last year.

The company today announced that domestic system-wide comparable sales for the four weeks ended April 23, 2006 increased approximately 3.8% (composed of a 4.4% increase at company-owned restaurants and a 3.6% increase at franchised restaurants). The timing of the Easter holiday weekend was estimated to have a 1.0% unfavorable impact on these April period results. Total system-wide international sales for Papa Johns branded units increased 24.2% for the four weeks ended April 23, 2006, on a constant U.S. dollar basis, over the comparable period last year.

During the first quarter of 2006, 22 domestic and 13 international restaurants were opened (3 company-owned and 32 franchised), and 14 domestic and 26 international restaurants were closed (one company-owned, 36 franchised Papa Johns restaurants and 3 franchised Perfect Pizza restaurants). The international closings for the quarter included 17 franchise restaurants in Mexico as discussed further herein.

At March 26, 2006, there were 2,924 Papa Johns restaurants (509 company-owned and 2,415 franchised) operating in 49 states and 22 countries. The company-owned unit count includes 114 restaurants owned in majority-owned domestic joint venture arrangements, the operations of which are fully consolidated into the companys results.

Acquisition Activity

The company acquired three franchised restaurants in the Philadelphia market on January 23, 2006. We expect to open an additional 20 company-owned units in the Philadelphia market over the next four to five years in order to achieve greater market penetration and awareness. This buy and build approach may be used in additional

under-penetrated domestic franchise markets over time to enhance overall net unit growth and successful market development.

International Update

A total of 13 restaurants were opened in all international markets during the quarter, of which seven were located in our fastest growing markets of Korea and China. As of March 26, 2006, we had a total of 69 franchised restaurants open and contractual agreements for an additional 486 Papa Johns restaurants to be opened over the next eight years in these two countries. We also have a 100-unit development agreement for Northern India, the first unit of which was opened in early April. Our total international development pipeline as of March 26, 2006 included 839 restaurants to be opened over the next ten years.

In the fourth quarter of 2005, we terminated the master franchise agreement in Mexico. In the first quarter of 2006, 17 franchised and subfranchised restaurants in Mexico were closed, and an additional 17 restaurants closed in early April. The remaining five franchised units are expected to continue operations. The royalty income earned from the 17 restaurants closed in April was not material to our first quarter operating results. We are committed to the development of Mexico as an important international market and are currently evaluating our alternatives, including potential direct investment via a joint venture or other methods. As an indication of this commitment, we recently acquired the commissary facility in Mexico City to ensure a consistent supply of high-quality products to our restaurants.

As previously noted, the company sold its Perfect Pizza operations, consisting of the franchised units and related distribution operations on March 8, 2006. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, we have classified the Perfect Pizza operating results, including directly associated G&A expenses, as discontinued operations for both 2006 and 2005. The following summarizes the discontinued operations for the first quarter of 2006 and 2005 (in 000s):

	2006		2005
Net sales	$	2,421	$	3,737

Pre-tax income	$	617	$	901

Net income	$	389	$	568

Share Repurchase Activity

The company repurchased approximately 716,000 shares of its common stock during the first quarter at an average price of $30.86 per share, or a total of $22.1 million, and a total of 437,000 shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of stock options. Subsequent to the first quarter 2006, through April 20, 2006, the company

repurchased an additional 221,000 shares of common stock at an average price of $32.26 per share.

As a result, there were 34.0 million diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the first quarter of 2006 as compared to 33.6 million for the same period in 2005. Approximately 32.8 million actual shares of the companys common stock were outstanding as of March 26, 2006. The companys board of directors has authorized the repurchase of up to an aggregate $575.0 million of common stock through December 31, 2006, and through April 20, 2006, approximately 35.6 million shares have been repurchased at a total cost of $525.0 million (average price of $14.73).

The companys share repurchase activity increased earnings per share from continuing operations by approximately $0.02 for the first quarter of 2006.

2006 Earnings Guidance Updated

The company announced that its previously disclosed earnings per share guidance for 2006 in the range of $1.38 to $1.46 for the 53-week year, excluding any potential impact from the required consolidation of BIBP, has been updated to a range of $1.40 to $1.46 in response to actual first quarter results.

The full-year 2006 forecast includes an expected continuing improvement in operating results for domestic company-owned restaurants and franchising operations as well as domestic commissary operations, as compared to full-year 2005 results for these segments. In addition, the fourth quarter 2006 results are expected to be favorable to the fourth quarter 2005 results due to certain non-recurring costs incurred in Q4-05. The forecast also includes the following factors, which have a negative impact on full-year 2006 results as compared to the same period in the prior year:

The expense related to stock options and performance units is expected to be approximately $4.2 million higher in total in 2006, as compared to 2005, as the 2006 operating results include expenses associated with both the 2006 and 2005 awards due to the previously mentioned vesting periods for the awards, while the 2005 operating results only include the expenses associated with the 2005 awards.

The Perfect Pizza discontinued operations generated approximately $1.8 million of after-tax income for full-year 2005 (or $0.05 per share) as compared to $389,000 ($0.01 per share) for 2006.

We are continuing to make investments in our international infrastructure in support of our international growth, including the United Kingdom, where we are planning to accelerate development of both company-owned and franchised Papa Johns restaurants now that the sale of the Perfect Pizza brand has been completed.

As previously disclosed, the impact of the additional week of operations in the fourth quarter of 2006 is expected to increase earnings per share by $0.07, as reflected in the above earnings guidance range.

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 managements 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; increases in or sustained high levels of food, 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; economic, political and health conditions in the countries in which the company or its franchisees operate; the selection and availability of suitable restaurant locations; negotiation of suitable lease or financing terms; constraints on permitting and construction of restaurants; 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; federal and state laws governing such matters as wages, working conditions, citizenship requirements and overtime; 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 in under-penetrated or emerging markets, leading to greater unit closings than anticipated. Increases in projected claims losses for the companys self-insured coverage or within the captive franchise insurance program could have a significant impact on our operating results. Our international operations are subject to additional factors, including currency regulations and fluctuations; differing business and social cultures and consumer preferences; diverse government regulations and structures; ability to source 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 companys financial and other results is included in the companys Forms 10-Q and 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
