Results of Operations Revenues. Total revenues increased 42.9%43.9% to $109.6$126.2 million for the three months ended March 30,June 29, 1997, from $76.7$87.7 million for the comparable period in 1996, and 43.5% to $235.9 million for the six months ended June 29, 1997, from $164.4 million for the comparable period in 1996. Restaurant sales increased 50.0%56.9% to $52.9$63.6 million for the three months ended in March 30,June 29, 1997, from $35.3$40.5 million for the comparable period in 1996, and 53.7% to $116.5 million for the six months ended June 29, 1997, from $75.8 million for the comparable period in 1996. This increase wasThese increases were primarily due to an increaseincreases of 41%45.9% and 43.4% in the number of equivalent Company-owned restaurants open during the three and six months ended March 30,June 29, 1997, respectively, compared to the same periodperiods 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 11.9%11.0% for the three months ended March 30,June 29, 1997, over the comparable period in 1996, for Company-owned restaurants open throughout both periods. Franchise royalties increased 35.6%40.1% to $5.3$6.0 million for the three months ended March 30,June 29, 1997, from $3.9$4.3 million for the comparable period in 1996, and 38.0% to $11.3 million for the six months ended June 29, 1997, from $8.2 million for the comparable period in 1996. This increase wasThese increases were primarily due to an increaseincreases of 31%30.0% and 30.6% in the number of equivalent franchised restaurants open during the three and six months ended March 30,June 29, -7- 1997, respectively, compared to the same periodperiods in the prior year. Also, sales increased 7.3%10.0% for the three months ended March 30,June 29, 1997, over the comparable period in the 1996, for franchised restaurants open throughout both periods. Franchise and development fees increased 51.6%38.0% to $1.2$1.4 million for the three months ended March 30,June 29, 1997, from $818,000$1.0 million for the comparable period in 1996, and 44.1% to $2.6 million for the six months ended June 29, 1997, from $1.8 million for the comparable period in 1996. This increase wasThese increases were primarily due to the 68142 franchised restaurants opened during the threesix months ended March 30,June 29, 1997, versus the 4397 opened during the comparable period in 1996, an increase of 58.1%46.4%. The average dollar amount of fees per franchised restaurant opening may vary from period to period, as restaurants opened pursuant to older development agreements and "Hometown restaurants" generally have lower required fees than restaurants opened pursuant to more recent development agreements. "Hometown restaurants" are located in smaller markets, generally markets with less than 9,000 households. Commissary sales increased 31.1%28.9% to $41.3$45.6 million for the three months ended March 30,June 29, 1997, from $31.5$35.4 million for the comparable period in 1996, and 30.0% to $86.9 million for the six months ended June 29, 1997, from $66.9 million for the comparable period in 1996. This increase wasThese increases were primarily the result of the increases in equivalent franchised restaurants and comparable sales for franchised restaurants noted above. -7- above, partially offset by a 14% decrease in the average cheese block market price, which resulted in lower sales prices to franchisees. Equipment and other sales increased 70.1%48.1% to $8.9$9.7 million for the three months ended March 30,June 29, 1997, from $5.2$6.5 million for the comparable period in 1996, and 57.9% to $18.6 million for the six months ended June 29, 1997, from $11.8 million for the comparable period in 1996. This increase wasThese increases were primarily due to the increase in equivalent franchised restaurants open during the three and six months ended March 30,June 29, 1997, as compared to the same periodperiods in 1996, and the increase in franchised restaurants opened during the three and six months ended March 30,June 29, 1997, as compared to the same periodperiods in 1996. A portion of the equipment and other sales increase was attributable to the increase in sales of the Papa John's PROFIT System, a proprietary point of sale system, and related PROFIT support services to the franchisees, as well as increasing insurance commissions from franchisees. The company initiated an insurance agency function for franchisees during the fourth quarter of 1996. Costs and Expenses. Restaurant cost of sales, which consists of food, beverage and paper costs, decreased as a percentage of restaurant sales to 26.5%26.3% for the three months ended March 30,June 29, 1997, from 27.8%28.8% for the samecomparable period in 1996, and decreased as a percentage of restaurant sales to 26.4% for the six months ended June 29, 1997, from 28.3% for the comparable period in 1996. This decrease was primarily due to a 7.1%7% and 21% decrease in the average cheese block market prices for the first and more efficient food usage atsecond quarters of 1997, respectively. This decrease in cost was slightly offset by increased price discounting associated with the restaurant level due to improved management information provided by point of sale technology and a maturing restaurant base.12th Anniversary Promotion in April 1997. Restaurant salaries and benefits (27.0%(27.4% vs. 26.9%)26.4% and 27.2% vs. 26.6%, advertising and related costs (9.0% vs. 9.3%) and occupancy costs (5.0% vs. 5.1%) were all relatively consistentrespectively) increased as a percentage of restaurant sales for the three and six months ended June 29, 1997, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. Salaries and benefits were relatively consistent for the three months ended March 30, 1997, as compared to the same period in 1996. The increase in the second quarter of 1997 primarily related to increased staffing levels to ensure quality customer service was delivered during the 12/th/ Anniversary Promotion. Advertising and related costs (9.4% vs. 9.5% and 9.2% vs. 9.4%, respectively) and occupancy costs (4.8% vs. 4.9% and 4.9% vs. 5.0, respectively) were relatively consistent as a percentage of sales for the three and six months ended June 29,1997, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. Other restaurant operating expenses decreased as a percentage of restaurant sales to 13.2% for the three months ended June 29, 1997, from 13.5% for the comparable period in 1996, but increased as a percentage of restaurant sales to 14.1%13.7% for the threesix months ended March 30,June 29, 1997, from 13.4%compared to 13.5% for the comparable period in 1996. 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 workers compensation insurance. Other operating expenses also include an allocation of commissary operating expenses equal to 3% of -8- 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 increase inimpact on other restaurant operating expenses as a percentage of restaurant sales was primarily due to higher training costs as a greater effort was made in 1997 thanincurred in the prior yearfirst quarter of 1997 to prepare for the anticipated12th Anniversary Promotion was partially offset by the impact of higher sales volumes resulting from the 12th Anniversary promotional campaign conducted earlyvolume in the second quarter.quarter, also attributable to the 12/th/ Anniversary Promotion. Commissary, equipment and other expenses include cost of sales and operating expenses associated with sales of food, paper, equipment, information systems, and printing and promotional items to franchisees and other customers.
