  Share This Story

PORTLAND, Ore. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurants, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSSR) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 27, 2009.

Financial results for the second quarter 2009 compared to the second quarter 2008:

  • Revenues decreased 7.0% to $92.7 million from $99.7 million
  • Comparable restaurant sales decreased 17.3%
  • Net income of $1.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.4 million, or $0.16 per diluted share
  • Pro forma net income was $1.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, excluding impairment, restructuring and other charges (see attached reconciliation to GAAP)

Revenues for the second quarter of 2009 decreased 7.0% to $92.7 million from $99.7 million in the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in revenues is primarily attributable to the decline in comparable restaurant sales, partially offset by revenue from new restaurants not in the comparable restaurant base. The decrease in comparable restaurant sales of 17.3% was a result of a 16.7% decrease in traffic, which was coupled with a decrease in net pricing of 0.6%.

Bill Freeman, Chief Executive Officer said, "While the challenging economic environment resulted in a decrease in comparable sales for the quarter, we are pleased with the impact our cost savings initiatives have had on our operating results. Throughout the second quarter we remained focused on our efforts to contain costs while introducing new revenue building initiatives for the future. I am encouraged by the evolution of our marketing strategy as we focus on communicating to a broader audience to strengthen our connectivity to our guests."

2009 Outlook

The Company reaffirms its annual guidance of approximately $370.0 million in revenues and diluted earnings per share of $0.25-$0.30.

The Company expects its annualized effective tax rate to be between 5% to 10% due to the projection of modest taxable income for the year in certain taxing jurisdictions and the change in net deferred tax assets will be insignificant.

The Company opened two new restaurants in the first quarter and did not open any restaurants in the second quarter of 2009. The Company does not plan to open any additional restaurants in 2009. Capital expenditures for 2009 are expected to be approximately $8.0 million.

Reconciliation of Actual / Pro forma Net Income Per Share - GAAP to Non-GAAP

(unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share data)

Pro forma net income per share outstanding at the end of the period is a non-GAAP measurement. The following tables reconcile actual net income and net income per share determined in accordance with GAAP to pro forma net income and net income per share based on the shares outstanding at the end of the period presented:

Thirteen week

period ended

June 27, 2009

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP items
Net income (per GAAP) $ 1,188
Income tax benefit (64 )
Impairment, restructuring and other charges 371
Pro forma income before income taxes 1,495
Income tax expense * 150
Pro forma net income $ 1,345
Pro forma net income per share
Basic $ 0.09
Diluted $ 0.09
Shares used in computing pro forma net income per share
Basic 14,773
Diluted 14,807

* The Company utilized the estimated effective annualized tax rate of 10.0% for the calculation of pro forma income tax expense in the presentations above.

The Company believes this non-GAAP measurement is useful to investors since during the periods presented the Company incurred charges that affected the Company's performance related to the incurrence of impairment, restructuring and other charges. During the second quarter the Company incurred a $371,000 net charge which includes a net charge of $132,000 related to a restaurant closing in the second quarter of 2009 due to expiration of its lease, a net credit of $156,000 related to the subleasing and sale of leasehold improvements in the second quarter of 2009 of a previously closed restaurant, which we closed in June of 2008, and severance and other employee termination costs of $395,000.
