(*) EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted weighted average shares are non-GAAP measures. For reconciliations of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income to GAAP net income (loss) and why the Company considers them useful, see the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures accompanying this release.

"We are proud of our third quarter results, including 29% total revenue growth, 4.5% comparable restaurant sales growth, which marks the 23rd consecutive quarter of positive comparable restaurant sales growth, and 34% adjusted EBITDA growth," stated Kevin Miles, president and Chief Executive Officer of Zoës Kitchen. "We opened 10 new Company-owned restaurants during the third quarter, bringing our year to date openings to 29 new Company-owned restaurants. Since the end of the quarter, we have opened an additional four Company-owned restaurants to bring the total for the year to 33, matching the high end of our previous guidance."

Miles added, "Despite headwinds from Hurricane Joaquin, our strategies are driving results and have us excited about the enormous opportunity we have to strengthen and grow our brand through investments in our people, our differentiated menu, our operations, and our new unit development. With each restaurant we open, we provide thousands of families the opportunity to live Mediterranean, fostering an emotional connection with our guests. In addition, our wholesome menu helps them feel better about themselves when they choose Zoës."

Third Quarter 2015 Financial Results

Total revenue, which includes restaurant sales from Company-owned restaurants and royalty fees, increased 29.4% to $56.4 million in the twelve weeks ended October 5, 2015, from $43.6 million in the twelve weeks ended October 6, 2014. Restaurant sales for the twelve weeks ended October 5, 2015 were $56.3 million, an increase of 29.7% from the twelve weeks ended October 6, 2014.

Comparable restaurant sales increased 4.5% during the twelve weeks ended October 5, 2015, consisting of a 4.6% increase in product mix and a 0.3% increase in price, partially offset by a 0.4% decrease in traffic. The comparable restaurant base includes those restaurants open for 18 full periods or longer and included 112 restaurants as of October 5, 2015.

We calculate the change in restaurant traffic as the year-over-year change in the number of transactions at restaurants in our comparable restaurant base, with all transactions being equal regardless of the number of entrees purchased. As the Family Meals and catering portions of our business continue to grow, our method of traffic calculation may potentially understate traffic in favor of mix. With this in mind, we believe it is helpful to look at our traffic and mix growth together when considering the components of comparable restaurant sales growth.

Restaurant contribution increased 41.0% to $12.2 million in the twelve weeks ended October 5, 2015 from $8.6 million in the twelve weeks ended October 6, 2014. As a percentage of restaurant sales, restaurant contribution margin increased 180 basis points to 21.6% as the Company benefited from lower commodity prices and the normalization of repair and maintenance expenses compared to the prior year, which were partially offset by an increase in labor expenses. The increase in labor expenses was driven by an investment in our management bench to support future growth, planned labor inefficiencies at six incremental restaurant openings compared to prior year, and hourly wage inflation.

Net loss for the twelve weeks ended October 5, 2015 was $2.3 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net income of $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the twelve weeks ended October 6, 2014. Adjusted net income was $0.9 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the twelve weeks ended October 5, 2015, compared to adjusted net income of $0.7 million or $0.03 per diluted share, for the twelve weeks ended October 6, 2014.

2015 Fiscal Year to Date Financial Results

Total revenue, which includes restaurant sales from Company-owned restaurants and royalty fees, increased 32.0% to $173.9 million in the forty weeks ended October 5, 2015, from $131.7 million in the forty weeks ended October 6, 2014. Restaurant sales for the forty weeks ended October 5, 2015 were $173.7 million, an increase of 32.3% from $131.3 million in the forty weeks ended October 6, 2014.

Comparable restaurant sales increased 5.9% during the forty weeks ended October 5, 2015, consisting of a 1.5% increase in traffic and a 3.6% increase in product mix, combined with a 0.8% increase in price. The comparable restaurant base includes those restaurants open for 18 full periods or longer and included 112 restaurants as of October 5, 2015.

Restaurant contribution increased 39.6% to $37.4 million in the forty weeks ended October 5, 2015 from $26.8 million in the forty weeks ended October 6, 2014. As a percentage of restaurant sales, restaurant contribution margin increased 110 basis points to 21.5% as the Company benefited from lower commodity prices, which were partially offset by an increase in store operating expenses and labor. The increase in store operating and labor expenses was driven by a normalization of repair and maintenance expenses compared to the prior year as well as an investment in our management bench to support future growth and hourly wage inflation.

Net loss for the forty weeks ended October 5, 2015 was $1.4 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $8.4 million, or $0.50 per basic and diluted share, for the forty weeks ended October 6, 2014. Adjusted net income was $2.5 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the forty weeks ended October 5, 2015, compared to adjusted net income of $0.9 million or $0.05 per diluted share, for the forty weeks ended October 6, 2014.

The Company opened 10 new Company-owned restaurants during the twelve weeks ended October 5, 2015. In addition, we relocated one Company-owned store during the twelve weeks ended October 5, 2015.

Definitions

The following definitions apply to these terms as used throughout this release:

Comparable restaurant sales represent the change in period-over-period sales comparisons for the comparable Company-owned restaurant base. A restaurant becomes comparable in its 18th full fiscal period of operation. The Company presents comparable restaurant sales on a fiscal calendar basis. As a result, our comparable restaurant sales calculation may not correspond exactly to the related calendar periods.

Restaurant contribution is defined as restaurant sales less restaurant operating costs, which are cost of sales, labor, and store operating expenses. Restaurant contribution margin is restaurant contribution as a percentage of restaurant sales.

EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as EBITDA plus equity-based compensation expense associated with the accelerated vesting of stock and stock options at our IPO in April 2014, management and consulting fees, asset disposals, loss on interest cap, loss on extinguishment of debt, non-capitalized offering related expenses, executive transition and relocation costs, casualty loss, and pre-opening costs.

Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net income (loss) adjusted as if the IPO occurred on December 31, 2013. Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) plus equity-based compensation expense associated with the accelerated vesting of stock and stock options at our IPO in April 2014, management and consulting fees, loss on extinguishment of debt, credit facility interest expense, deferred financing costs, non-capitalized offering related expenses, executive transition and relocation costs, casualty loss, and the provision (benefit) for income taxes; less previously capitalized interest and an estimated tax rate of 38%.

Adjusted general and administrative expenses, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as general and administrative expenses less executive transition costs.

Adjusted weighted average shares, a non-GAAP measure, is based on the number of shares outstanding at the date of the IPO as if all shares had been outstanding as of December 31, 2013.

Our first fiscal quarter consists of sixteen weeks and each of our second, third and fourth fiscal quarters consists of twelve weeks, except for a fifty-three week year when the fourth quarter has thirteen weeks.
