Bob Evans Reports Fiscal 2014 Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Results; Updates Fiscal Year 2015 Outlook

Company reports 4Q 2014 and fiscal 2014 diluted GAAP EPS from continuing operations of $0.40 and $1.16, respectively, compared to $1.05 and $2.90 in the prior year; diluted non-GAAP EPS from continuing operations was $0.48 for the quarter and $1.68 for the full year, compared to $0.69 and $2.39 in the prior year

Key transformational investments were completed during fiscal 2014 despite adverse weather conditions, historically high sow costs, and a major supply disruption. Completion of the Farm Fresh Refresh restaurant remodel program, along with BEF Foods' plant optimization and expansion projects, positions the Company for long-term profitable growth

Company completed its fiscal 2014 $225 million share repurchase program in fiscal 2014. Company has returned more than $800 million to stockholders since 2007 through dividends and share repurchases

Quarterly dividend of $0.31 per share reflects a 12.7 percent increase over prior year period. Dividend paid on June 16, 2014, to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 2, 2014

Bob Evans Restaurants reports 4Q 2014 same-store sales of -4.1 percent; estimates adverse severe winter weather impact of approximately 3.4 percent. Fiscal 2014 full-year same-store sales were -2.1 percent, including an estimated adverse severe winter weather impact of 1.6 percent

Severe winter weather adversely impacted Bob Evans Restaurants' sales, cost of sales, operating wages and other operating expenses including utilities and snow removal, reducing 4Q 2014 diluted GAAP and diluted non-GAAP EPS by approximately $0.21 per diluted share compared to the prior year

At BEF Foods, higher than expected plant startup inefficiencies and the effect of continued high sausage material costs, including sow and trim costs, net of short-term offsets, reduced 4Q 2014 diluted GAAP and non-GAAP EPS by approximately $0.14 per diluted share compared to the prior year period

Costs associated with responses to an activist stockholder; supplemental tax and internal audit staff resources; strengthening the Company's internal processes and controls over financial reporting; and recruiting and relocation costs, net of short-term offsets, adversely impacted results, reducing 4Q 2014 diluted GAAP and non-GAAP EPS by approximately $0.04. For fiscal 2014, the Company incurred $3.0 million of costs associated with responses to an activist stockholder

The Company recognized a tax benefit in the fourth quarter of $6.9 million comprised of $5.7 million due to Section 199 deductions for domestic production activities resulting from BEF Foods' product sales and $1.2 million from state tax settlements. $3.0 million of the total tax benefit is reflected in discontinued operations. The Company will continue efforts to realize additional tax benefits and expects to generate annual tax benefits beginning in fiscal year 2015 of approximately $1.6 million related to Section 199 deductions for domestic production activities

Company's updated fiscal 2015 diluted EPS guidance range set at $1.90 to $2.20. Updated guidance assumes $85 per hundredweight sow costs and gradual improvement in Bob Evans Restaurants' sales trends

Costs associated with responses to an activist stockholder are estimated to be $5.5 million during fiscal 2015. Costs of supplemental tax and internal audit staff resources, and strengthening the Company's internal processes and controls over financial reporting are estimated to be $2.0 million during fiscal 2015

Bob Evans Restaurants expects to drive fiscal 2015 dine-in and off-premise sales by leveraging its new "Get in on Something Good!"™ advertising campaign, and further development of value-oriented sales layers, including Broasted Chicken^® which is expected to drive positive dinner same-store sales trends based on positive test market results

Fiscal 2014 commentary

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Steve Davis said, "Fiscal 2014 financial performance was negatively impacted by several challenges beyond the Company's control, including unusually severe and sustained winter weather, historically high sow costs, and BEF Foods' supplier disruption issues. However, by focusing on factors we can control, we continued transforming our businesses to remain relevant to our restaurant guests, food customers, and stockholders for years to come. 

"We successfully completed several key investment programs at both Bob Evans Restaurants and BEF Foods in fiscal year 2014. As a result of the Farm Fresh Refresh remodeling program, Bob Evans Restaurants now offers guests a consistent and revitalized restaurant environment, better positioning each of our restaurants to deliver an upgraded dine-in experience, while also offering new off-premise sales layers including bakery, carryout, and catering. Fourth-quarter monthly same-store sales trends improved, becoming sequentially less negative during the period. With the benefits of remodeled restaurants, as well as our new menu initiatives, and the recently launched "Get in on Something Good!"™ advertising campaign, Bob Evans Restaurants expects to open up to eight new restaurants and drive same-store sales gains of 1.5 to 2.5 percent during fiscal 2015.

"We are encouraged by insights gained from the two initial Bob Evans Express locations opened during fiscal 2014. With this experience, we are moving forward with plans to license up to ten new Bob Evans Express locations in fiscal year 2015 where we expect to assess the concept's performance in new venues, including potential sites in shopping malls, airports, corporate campuses, manufacturing facilities, college campuses, and hospitals. We are already making progress as we are currently finalizing details for two airport and two mall locations. Ultimately, we believe Bob Evans Express represents a licensing opportunity on a national scale.

"At BEF Foods, completion of a multi-year plant network optimization and vertical integration project reduced our production footprint from nine manufacturing facilities and two primary co-packers to four manufacturing facilities with supplemental co-packing arrangements for meeting high seasonal demand and production of selected products. At the four production facilities, we expect our investments in expansions, equipment upgrades, and efficiency enhancements to enable continued growth, both top- and bottom-line, as we focus on expanding points of retail distribution and increasing product authorizations at each point of retail distribution." 

Davis continued, "We remain deeply committed to generating returns for our stockholders through our balanced approach to capital allocation. Along with investing an expected $85 to $90 million of capital expenditures in our businesses during fiscal 2015, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $100 million of shares during fiscal year 2015. As capital expenditures return to a more typical level focused on opening new restaurants, ERP implementation, smaller-scale efficiency projects, and infrastructure maintenance in fiscal 2015, both Bob Evans Restaurants and BEF Foods are focused on operational execution. Strategic priorities in fiscal 2015 include media and trade spending to drive traffic in our restaurants, and sales in the grocery store, along with menu and product innovation. 

"Fiscal 2015 is the year we expect to begin reaping the rewards of the recent capital investments we have made in Bob Evans Restaurants and BEF Foods. We believe the critical investments have been completed, the strategic course has been set, and we have the programs in place to execute effectively." 

Fourth-quarter fiscal 2014 consolidated operating results

Operating profit from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was reduced by approximately $14.0 million, or approximately $0.39 per diluted share, compared to the prior year period due to severe winter weather, higher than projected sausage material costs, and other cost impacts as detailed below.

Items affecting Bob Evans Restaurants – $7.6 million: 

• $7.6 million related to severe winter weather, including: an estimated $8.1 million of lost sales, equating to an approximately $4.1 million profit impact of lost sales; $2.8 million in unfavorable other operating expenses, which includes snow removal, utilities, facility repair and other maintenance-related items; $0.5 million in unfavorable labor expenses; and $0.2 million of unfavorable food costs due to spoilage.   

Items affecting BEF Foods – $5.0 million:

• $3.1 million resulting from: $6.6 million of sausage material costs, including: $5.6 million of sow costs and $1.0 million of trim costs, due to increased sow and trim costs compared to last year's comparable quarter; partially offset by $1.9 million of increased sausage pricing, and a $1.6 million reduction of sausage trade spending. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, sow costs averaged $78.47 per hundredweight compared to $59.07 per hundredweight for the comparable period last year. 
• $1.9 million resulting from: $2.8 million in startup costs and lower production efficiency at the newly expanded Sulphur Springs, Texas, facility compared to last year, partially offset by $0.9 million of savings related to the October 2013 consolidation of fresh sausage manufacturing facilities. The Company saw startup inefficiencies moderate during the fourth quarter and expects continued improvement in fiscal 2015.

Items affecting both Bob Evans Restaurants and BEF Foods – $1.4 million:

• $1.4 million resulting from: $4.5 million in the SG&A line comprised of $3.0 million of additional professional services, primarily costs related to responses to an activist stockholder, supplemental tax and internal audit staff resources, and strengthening the Company's internal processes and controls over financial reporting, and $1.5 million related to recruiting and relocation expenses, partially offset by $3.1 million of bonus and other performance related favorability as Company results did not meet the performance-based incentive compensation requirements.

Net interest expense – The Company's non-GAAP net interest expense was $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, up $1.1 million, compared to $0.5 million in the corresponding period last year. The Company had $459 million of revolver debt outstanding at the end of the period compared to $201 million in the corresponding period last year. The increase was due to share repurchases and capital expenditures. The borrowing rate on the Company's outstanding debt was 1.54 percent at the end of the fourth quarter, compared to 1.45 percent at the end of the fourth quarter in the prior year.   

Taxes – For non-GAAP items, the Company utilized a 31 percent rate during the fourth quarter compared to 32 percent in the corresponding period last year. The Company's effective GAAP tax rate was -214 percent for the quarter compared to -36 percent in the corresponding period last year. The decreased rate over the prior year is primarily attributable to the Company's Section 199 domestic production activities deductions and favorable state tax settlements.

As of the end of the quarter, the Company has realized $48.4 million of the cash tax benefit from the fiscal 2013 conversions of its restaurant operating companies. The Company expects an additional $0.7 million of cash refunds related to the conversions in fiscal year 2015.

Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding – The Company's diluted weighted-average shares outstanding were 24.6 million shares in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to 28.2 million shares in the corresponding period last year. There were 23.5 million shares outstanding at the end of the quarter, compared to 27.4 million shares in the corresponding period last year. The Company repurchased 2.2 million shares for $110.9 million during the fourth quarter. The Company completed the authorized fiscal 2014 $225 million share repurchase of its common stock as planned prior to the end of fiscal 2014.

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company. The Company believes that the additional measures are useful to investors for financial analysis as excluding these items reflects operating results that are more indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance and improve comparability to prior periods.   However, non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. Please see the table in this release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP results. 

Fourth-quarter fiscal 2014 Bob Evans Restaurants segment summary

Net sales – Bob Evans Restaurants' net sales were $231.0 million, down 4.4 percent, compared to net sales of $241.7 million in the corresponding period last year. Same-store sales declined by 4.1 percent, below the Knapp-Track™ family dining index of -1.5 percent for the same period. Severe winter weather is estimated to have adversely impacted net sales by $8.1 million and same-store sales by approximately 3.4 percent. As noted within the table below, the dinner daypart is the most challenged part of the day. The Company's new Broasted Chicken^® platform is designed to improve dinner traffic trends.

During the fourth quarter, the Farm Fresh Refresh remodeling program was completed and resulted in 359 closed restaurant days, compared to 535 days in the corresponding period last year.   

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, Bob Evans Restaurants:

• opened one new restaurant located in Harrison, Ohio.

Operating income – Bob Evans Restaurants' non-GAAP operating income was $4.2 million, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $20.8 million in the corresponding period last year. The primary drivers of the decline were:  increased other operating expenses of $5.1 million, including $2.8 million of snow removal, utilities, facility repair and other severe winter weather-related items; an approximately $4.1 million profit impact of lost sales resulting from severe winter weather; $2.3 million of incremental depreciation; $2.3 million of professional expenditures related to responses to an activist stockholder, supplemental tax and internal audit staff resources, and strengthening the Company's internal processes and controls over financial reporting; $2.1 million of increased advertising expenses; $1.4 million of increased corporate overhead allocation as a result of the Company providing transition services to Mimi's Café at less than cost; $1.2 million related to recruiting and relocation expenses; $0.9 million of operating wage rate variance due to sales deleverage, including $0.5 million related to severe winter weather; and $0.7 million of unfavorable cost of sales rate variance primarily impacted by increased pork, bakery, and beef costs, including $0.2 million of food waste related to severe winter weather. The aggregate impact of these items was partially offset by $2.3 million of incentive compensation and other favorability. 

Fourth-quarter fiscal 2014 BEF Foods segment summary

Net sales – BEF Foods' net sales were $95.3 million, an increase of 3.4 percent, compared to net sales of $92.3 million in the corresponding period last year. Increased side dish volume and sausage pricing increases were partially offset by volume declines in foodservice, primarily resulting from the sale of the Company's Irvine, California, production facility. 

Operating income – BEF Foods' non-GAAP operating income was $3.3 million, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $8.2 million in the corresponding period last year. The primary drivers of the decline were: $6.6 million of incremental sausage material costs, including sow and trim costs; $2.8 million related to the startup of the Sulphur Springs facility; $0.7 million of professional expenditures related to responses to an activist stockholder, supplemental tax and internal audit staff resources, and strengthening the Company's internal processes and controls over financial reporting; $0.6 million of increase in corporate overhead allocation as a result of the Company providing transition services to Mimi's Café at less than cost; and $0.3 million related to recruiting and relocation expenses. The drivers of the decline were partially offset by $1.9 million of increased sausage pricing, a $1.6 million reduction in sausage trade spending, $0.9 million of savings related to the October 2013 consolidation of fresh sausage manufacturing facilities, and $0.8 million of incentive compensation and other favorability. 

Fiscal 2014 consolidated results and GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation

For the full year of fiscal 2014, net income from continuing operations was $31.0 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, compared with net income from continuing operations of $82.6 million, or $2.90 per diluted share, in the prior year which included $6.1 million of income tax benefit. Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations was $44.7 million, or $1.68 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income from continuing operations of $68.1 million, or $2.39 per diluted share, in the prior year.

Fiscal 2014 consolidated operating results

Operating profit in fiscal 2014 was reduced by approximately $41.6 million, or approximately $1.07 per diluted share, compared to the prior year, due to severe winter weather, higher than projected sausage material costs, and other cost impacts as detailed below.

Items affecting Bob Evans Restaurants – $15.8 million:

• $13.3 million related to severe winter weather, including: an estimated $15.3 million of lost sales, equating to an approximately $7.7 million profit impact of lost sales; $4.0 million in unfavorable other operating expenses which includes snow removal, utilities, facility repair and other maintenance-related items; $1.1 million in unfavorable labor expenses; and $0.5 million of unfavorable food costs due to spoilage.   
• $2.5 million associated with the second quarter implementation of a new restaurant workforce management initiative. $1.7 million impacted the operating wages line, $0.4 million in the SG&A line, $0.2 million of incremental depreciation, $0.1 million of additional discounts, and $0.1 million in other operating expenses. The project is complete and fully implemented.

Items affecting BEF Foods – $23.0 million:

• $15.1 million resulting from: $22.6 million of increased sausage material costs, including $21.1 million of sow costs and $1.5 million of trim costs; partially offset by a $4.4 million reduction of sausage trade spending and $3.1 million of increased sausage pricing. During fiscal 2014, sow costs averaged $73.23 per hundredweight compared to $53.87 per hundredweight for fiscal 2013.
• $4.1 million resulting from a supplier dispute related to BEF Foods' refrigerated side dish business, primarily resulting from the margin impact of lost sales related to the supplier dispute. The Company's former primary side dish supplier, who is also a competitor, unexpectedly stopped providing the Company with product in advance of the peak winter holiday season, causing lost sales as product supply was terminated. The Company no longer sources product from the supplier.
• $3.8 million resulting from: $6.2 million in startup costs and lower production efficiency at the newly expanded Sulphur Springs facility compared to last year, partially offset by $2.4 million of savings related to the October 2013 consolidation of fresh sausage manufacturing facilities. The Company saw startup inefficiencies moderate during the fourth quarter and expects continued improvement in fiscal 2015.

Items affecting both Bob Evans Restaurants and BEF Foods – $2.8 million:

• $2.8 million resulting from: $9.8 million in the SG&A line comprised of $6.0 million of additional professional services, including costs for strengthening the Company's internal processes and controls over financial reporting and responses to an activist stockholder, and $3.8 million related to recruiting, relocation, and severance expenses, partially offset by $7.0 million of bonus and other performance related favorability as Company results did not meet the performance-based incentive compensation requirements.

Net interest expense –The Company's non-GAAP net interest expense was $3.9 million for fiscal 2014, compared to $5.3 million last year. The Company had $459 million of revolver debt outstanding at the end of fiscal 2014 compared to $201 million at the end of fiscal 2013. The increase was due to share repurchases and capital expenditures. The borrowing rate on the Company's outstanding debt was 1.54 percent at the end of fiscal 2014, compared to 1.45 percent at the end of fiscal 2013. During fiscal 2013, the Company refinanced its private placement notes with lower cost and more flexible revolver debt.

Taxes – For non-GAAP items, the Company utilized a 31 percent tax rate, compared to 32 percent last year. The Company's effective GAAP tax rate was 0.5 percent for fiscal year 2014 compared to -8.0 percent in fiscal 2013. The Company has anomalous effective tax rates in both fiscal 2014 and 2013. In fiscal 2014, the rate is primarily attributable to the Company's Section 199 domestic production activity deductions, favorable state tax settlements, and statute expiration in certain states. In fiscal 2013, the rate is primarily attributable to the impact of the conversion of SWH Corporation to a limited liability company. Additionally, the tax rate in both fiscal 2014 and 2013 was also affected by permanent items having a greater relative impact on lower pre-tax income.

Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding – The Company's diluted weighted-average shares outstanding were 26.7 million shares for fiscal 2014, compared to 28.5 million shares in the prior year. The Company repurchased 4.4 million shares for $225 million during fiscal 2014. 

Balance sheet highlights – The Company's cash balance and revolver borrowings at the end of fiscal 2014 were $7.8 million and $458.9 million, respectively. The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants at the end of fiscal 2014. The Company's leverage ratio as defined in its credit agreement was 3.27 at year-end.

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company. The Company believes that the additional measures are useful to investors for financial analysis as excluding these items reflects operating results that are more indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance and improve comparability to prior periods.   However, non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. Please see the table in this release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP results. 

Fiscal 2014 Bob Evans Restaurants segment summary

Net sales – Bob Evans Restaurants' net sales were $956.6 million, down 2.5 percent compared to net sales of $981.4 million in the corresponding period last year. Same-store sales declined by 2.1 percent, below the Knapp-Track™ family dining index which was flat for the same period. Unusually severe and sustained winter weather from November through February is estimated to have adversely impacted net sales by $15.3 million and same-store sales by approximately 1.6 percent. As noted within the table below, the dinner daypart is the most challenged part of the day. The Company's new Broasted Chicken^® platform is designed to specifically address weak dinner traffic trends.

Fiscal 2014 SSS% Daypart Performance
Daypart	On-Premise	Off-Premise	Total
Breakfast	-1.8%	7.7%	-1.2%
Lunch	-2.0%	3.7%	-1.6%

During fiscal 2014, the Farm Fresh Refresh remodeling program was completed. For the full year, the Company experienced 1,445 closed restaurant days, compared to 1,337 days in fiscal 2013, with a relatively minor overall impact on same-store sales. 

During fiscal 2014, Bob Evans Restaurants:

• remodeled 229 restaurants;
• closed three restaurants; and
• opened four new restaurants.

Operating income – Bob Evans Restaurants' non-GAAP operating income was $42.4 million, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $76.6 million last year. The primary drivers of the decline were:  an approximately $7.7 million profit impact of lost sales resulting from severe winter weather; $7.1 million of incremental depreciation; $5.7 million of unfavorable cost of sales rate variance primarily impacted by increased pork, bakery, and beef costs, including $0.5 million of food waste related to severe winter weather; $4.8 million of increased corporate overhead allocation as a result of the Company providing transition services to Mimi's Café at less than cost; $4.5 million of professional expenditures related to responses to an activist stockholder, supplemental tax and internal audit staff resources, and strengthening the Company's internal processes and controls over financial reporting; $3.0 million related to recruiting and relocation expenses; approximately $1.9 million of operating wage rate variance due to sales deleverage, including $1.1 million related to severe winter weather; and $1.7 million of other operating expenses including the impact of $4.0 million of snow removal, utilities, facility repair and other severe winter weather-related items. The aggregate impact of these items was partially offset by $5.3 million of incentive compensation favorability. 

Fiscal 2014 BEF Foods segment summary

Net sales – BEF Foods' net sales were $372.0 million, an increase of 6.6 percent, compared to net sales of $348.8 million last year. The previously referenced supplier dispute impacted BEF Foods' sales as the Company was unable to completely fill many orders from key customers during the peak winter holiday season. The Company estimates sales were adversely impacted by approximately $10.7 million as a result of the supply disruption. Furthermore, the dispute hampered the Company's operations as the termination of supply of a key product line necessitated several modifications to the Lima, Ohio, manufacturing facility to accommodate new equipment and processes in order to insource production.

Operating Income – BEF Foods' non-GAAP operating income was $12.9 million, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $30.7 million last year. The primary drivers of the decline were: $22.6 million of incremental sausage material costs, including $21.1 million of sow costs and $1.5 million of trim costs; $6.2 million related to the startup of the Sulphur Springs facility expansion impacting the operating wages and other operating expenses; $4.1 million related to the supplier dispute, including the profit effect of lost sales and higher co-packer prices before supply was terminated; $2.1 million of increase in corporate overhead allocation as a result of the Company providing transition services to Mimi's Café at less than cost; $1.5 million of professional expenditures related to responses to an activist stockholder, supplemental tax and internal audit staff resources, and strengthening the Company's internal processes and controls over financial reporting; and $0.8 million related to recruiting and relocation expenses. The drivers of the decline were partially offset by a $4.4 million reduction of sausage trade spending, $3.1 million of increased sausage pricing, $2.4 million of savings related to the October 2013 consolidation of fresh sausage manufacturing facilities, $1.8 million of incentive compensation favorability, and sales leverage. 

The Company saw continued improvement in production efficiencies at the Sulphur Springs facility during the fourth quarter. Production volume increased while costs continued to decrease. The Company expects to be operating at planned efficiencies by the peak winter holiday season of fiscal year 2015.

BEF Foods' non-GAAP SG&A was $64.8 million. The Company classifies transportation and marketing expenses of $17.1 million and $6.4 million, respectively, in SG&A for the BEF Foods business. 

Fiscal year 2015 outlook

"We completed significant investment programs at both Bob Evans Restaurants and BEF Foods during fiscal 2014. Over the long-term, these investments are expected to drive sustainable earnings growth. In fiscal 2015, we expect improved performance from both of our business segments. However, consumer confidence continues to be adversely impacted by ongoing macroeconomic headwinds, including health care costs and unemployment which disproportionately affects lower- and middle-income consumers. Additionally, an increasingly competitive environment and ongoing commodity cost pressures continue to challenge our business," said Chief Financial Officer Mark Hood.

The Company expects fiscal 2015 earnings per diluted share of $1.90 to $2.20. This guidance range incorporates approximately $8 million of increased performance-based incentive compensation accrued to target levels.  

Fiscal 2015 guidance anticipates gradual improvement of Bob Evans Restaurants performance due to: the chain-wide roll-out of Broasted Chicken^®; lapping last year's unusually severe and sustained winter weather; consistent marketing support throughout the year; and continued off-premise sales growth. 

At BEF Foods, fiscal 2015 performance is likewise expected to improve throughout the year due to: growth of refrigerated side dish volume due to distribution growth as well as the absence of the supplier disruption the Company experienced during the peak winter holiday season during fiscal 2014; and the absence of plant startup costs and improved plant efficiencies, partially offset by increased year-over-year sow costs. The Company expects net pricing to be better aligned with sow costs in fiscal 2015.

From a corporate perspective, 2015 guidance includes: approximately $5.5 million of costs associated with responses to an activist stockholder, and $2.0 million of costs associated with supplemental tax and internal audit staff resources, and strengthening the Company's internal processes and controls over financial reporting. These items are expected to primarily impact the first half of the fiscal year.

Consolidated Company highlights

• Net sales – approximately $1.38 to $1.40 billion. 
   
• Capital expenditures – approximately $85 to $90 million.  
   
• ERP implementation – expenses related to ERP implementation are expected to be $4 to $5 million.  
   
• Depreciation and amortization – approximately $83 to $87 million.
   
• Net interest expense – approximately $8.5 to $10.5 million.
   
• Tax rate – approximately 30 to 31 percent. 
   
• Diluted weighted-average share count – approximately 23.8 million shares. The company expects share repurchase activity to occur during the second half of the fiscal year. Accretion from share repurchase activity is expected to be offset by increased interest expense in fiscal 2015.

Bob Evans Restaurants segment

• Net sales: Same-store sales of 1.5 to 2.5 percent. The Company expects first quarter same-store sales of -2.5 to -3.0 percent, with flat to low single-digit positive same-store sales for the second quarter, and high single-digit positive same-store sales for the second half of fiscal 2015 aided by lapping severe and sustained winter weather experienced during fiscal 2014. 
   
• Operating margins: 5.8 to 6.2 percent, resulting from expected sales growth, continued labor and food cost improvement, partially offset by increased depreciation, primarily as a result of the Farm Fresh Refresh program and new restaurants, increased repair and maintenance expenses, and commodity cost increases of 2 to 3 percent. 

BEF Foods segment

• Net sales: Overall net sales of $430 to $440 million, an increase of 16 to 18 percent. 
   
• Operating margins: 7.5 to 9.5 percent, resulting from expected sales growth, improved plant efficiencies, which include the realization of fiscal 2014 plant closure benefits, and expected realization of net pricing to better offset increased sow costs. For the first quarter, the Company expects sow costs to average $88 to $90 per hundredweight, compared to $63 per hundredweight for the prior year. For the remainder of the year, the Company expects sow costs of $80 to $90 per hundredweight, compared to the fiscal year 2014 average of $73 per hundredweight.

This outlook is subject to a number of factors beyond the Company's control, including the risk factors discussed in the Company's fiscal 2014 annual report on Form 10‑K and its other subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
