In June 2016, the Company approved a plan to exit the Australia and Eastern Europe markets, authorizing management to sell or close its five Hooters stores in Australia and its one store in Budapest. Management expects to complete negotiation of terms during the third quarter of 2016, and complete the disposal of the operations by the end of 2016. Accordingly, the operating results and related accounts of those regions have been classified as discontinued operations.
Mike Pruitt, Chairman and CEO of Chanticleer commented, "This was a very strong quarter for Chanticleer; we crossed a critical threshold and achieved EBITDA profitably from our continuing operations. These results were achieved primarily through growth and strong performance at our fast casual better burger segment, the recent strategic discontinuation of certain international stores to focus on restaurants with the strongest economic returns, and realization of initial cost benefits stemming from efficiency initiatives across our company."
Mr. Pruitt continued, "Our Better Burger business, which now accounts for well over half of our revenue, performed very well due to the growing strength of our regional brands. Little Big Burger (LBB), for example, has proven to be an exemplary acquisition and we have meaningfully increased the profitability of this business since acquiring it. We continue to expand our regional concepts through a combination of new company owned and franchise stores, and look forward to continuing to drive organic revenue growth, enhanced margins and grow profitability."

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses information regarding Adjusted EBITDA and Restaurant EBITDA, which differ from the term EBITDA as it is commonly used. In addition to adjusting net income (loss) from continuing operations to exclude taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization, Adjusted EBITDA also excludes pre-opening and closing costs for our restaurants, non-cash expenses, transaction-related expenses, change in fair value of derivative liability and other income and expenses. In addition, Restaurant EBITDA also excludes management fee income, franchise revenue and general and administrative expenses. Adjusted EBITDA and restaurant EBITDA are not measures of performance defined in accordance with GAAP. However, adjusted EBITDA and restaurant EBITDA are used internally in planning and evaluating the company's operating performance and by the Company's creditors. Accordingly, management believes that disclosure of these metrics offers investors, bankers and other stakeholders an additional view of the company's operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of the Company's financial results.
Adjusted EBITDA and Restaurant EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net loss or to net cash used in operating activities as a measure of operating results or of liquidity. It may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, and it excludes financial information that some may consider important in evaluating the company's performance. A reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and Restaurant EBITDA is included in the accompanying financial schedules.
For further information, please refer to Chanticleer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed with the SEC on or about August 11, 2016, available online at www.sec.gov.
