Third Quarter 2012 Results
System-wide sales grew 12.5% in the third quarter to R$266.5 million, driven
by an increase in the number of franchised points of sale.
Total revenue for the third quarter 2012 was R$60.5 million in line with
R$60.4 million in the third quarter 2011, reflecting a reduction owned and
operated stores in line with the Company’s strategy to increase the focus on
franchise operations. In addition, third quarter 2011 results benefited from
the positive impact of the Rock in Rio concert, while there was no comparable
event in the same period of 2012.
Net restaurant sales for company-owned retail outlets declined 5.9%
year-over-year to R$43.3 million in the third quarter 2012, reflecting a
decrease in net revenues for the Company’s Bob’s and Doggis brand, which was
partially offset by increases in net revenues across the Company’s KFC and
Pizza Hut brands.
Net revenue from franchisees increased 28.0% year-over-year to R$11.3 million,
driven primarily by an increase in number of franchised retail outlets to 916,
up from 781 in the same period a year ago. Other revenue and income totaled
R$5.9 million in the third quarter 2012 up from R$5.6 million in the year ago
period.
Operating expenses declined 3.5% to R$53.0 million in the third quarter 2012
from R$54.9 million in the third quarter of 2011. As a percentage of revenue,
operating costs declined to 87.6% of total revenue in the third quarter of
2012 from 90.0% of total revenue in the same period of 2011.
Operating income for the third quarter of 2012 was R$7.5 million, an increase
of 36.0% from R$5.5 million in the third quarter of 2011. Operating margin in
the third quarter of 2012 improved to 12.4% compared to 9.1% in the same
period of 2011.
EBITDA in the third quarter of 2012 was R$9.0 million, up by 27.6% compared to
R$7.0 million in the third quarter of 2011. EBITDA margin was 14.8% compared
to 11.6% in the comparable period of 2011. Please refer Table No. 5 in this
press release for a reconciliation of EBITDA to its nearest GAAP equivalent.
Interest expense was R$0.3 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared to
interest income of R$0.5 million in the third quarter of 2011.
Net income for the third quarter of 2012 was R$5.9 million, or R$0.73 per
basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of R$0.5 million, or R$0.07
per basic and diluted share in the same period of 2011.
Nine Months 2011 Results
For the nine months ended in September 30, 2012, total net revenue was R$176.0
million, up 5.8% from R$166.3 million in the comparable period of 2011.
Operating income was R$18.1 million, up 25.1% from R$14.4 million in the
comparable period in 2011. Operating margin was 10.3% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2012 compared to 8.7% in the comparable period in 2011.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was R$13.0 million, up
78.8% from R$7.0 million in the comparable period in 2011. Basic and diluted
earnings per share were R$1.60 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012
compared to R$0.86 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Financial Condition
As of September 30, 2012, Brazil Fast Food had R$28.4 million in cash and cash
equivalents, up from R$21.4 million as of December 31, 2011. Working capital
was R$22.8million, as compared to R$16.9 million as of the end of 2011. Total
shareholders' equity as of September 30, 2012 was R$53.8 million, compared to
R$41.9 million at the end of 2011.
In the first nine months of 2012, Brazil Fast Food generated net cash flow
from operating activities of R$14.7 million, representing an increase of
33.8%, from R$11.0 million for the comparable period in 2011. The Company used
R$12.9 million in cash towards investment in property and equipment to improve
the Company's retail operations, mainly setting up new owned-and-operated KFC
and Pizza Hut stores, and the acquisition of the Yoggi do Brasil Ltda
(“Yoggi”) franchise network of frozen yogurt in Brazil.
Business Outlook
“We expect to see continued positive trends in the business in our seasonally
strong fourth quarter, as we execute our strategy to grow the number of
franchised outlets and pursue operational efficiencies so as to achieve
profitable operations across each of our brands. We have recently reduced the
number of franchises for the Yoggi brand, due to slowing consumer demand for
frozen yogurt, but we are working to modify the store concept and are
optimistic about its longer-term potential. We believe that quick service
restaurant sector remains very underpenetrated in Brazil and our goal is to
develop leading brands that cater to the tastes of modern Brazilian consumer
so as to lead the growth of the industry,” concluded Mr. Bomeny.

EBITDA represents earnings before net interest expense, income tax provision,
depreciation and amortization. Our management believes EBITDA is useful to
investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and
other interested parties in evaluating companies in our industry. In addition,
our management believes that EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating
performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because the
calculation of EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing and income
taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending, which items may vary for
different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. As
a result, our management uses EBITDA as a measure to evaluate the performance
of our business. However, EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under
generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and when analyzing our
operating performance, investors should use EBITDA in addition to, and not as
an alternative for, income from operations and net income, each as determined
in accordance with GAAP. Not all companies use identical calculations, and our
presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of
other companies. Furthermore, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free
cash flow for our management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider
certain cash requirements such as a tax and debt service payments.
