JERICHO, N.Y., Feb. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Nathan's Famous, Inc. (NATH) today reported results for the third quarter of its 2016 fiscal year that ended December 27, 2015.

For the fiscal quarter ended December 27, 2015:

Income from operations increased by 17.8% to $4,435,000, as compared to $3,765,000 during the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2014;
Adjusted EBITDA, as subsequently defined, increased by 12.6% to $4,932,000 as compared to $4,382,000 for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2014;
Net income was $432,000, as compared to $2,241,000 for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2014;
Earnings per diluted share were $0.10 per share, as compared to $0.49 per share for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2014; and
Revenues were $20,564,000, as compared to $22,315,000 during the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2014.
For the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2015:

Income from operations increased by 20.5% to $20,477,000, as compared to $16,991,000 during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2014;
Adjusted EBITDA, as subsequently defined, increased by 17.2% to $22,189,000 as compared to $18,936,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2014;
Net income was $5,589,000, as compared to $10,166,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2014;
Earnings per diluted share were $1.24 per share, as compared to $2.21 per share for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2014; and
Revenues were $81,837,000, as compared to $78,772,000 during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2014.
The Company reported the following:

License royalties increased by 12.8% to $15,406,000 during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2015, as compared to $13,652,000 during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2014. During the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2015, total royalties earned under the John Morrell & Co., agreement increased by 14.2% to $14,091,000 as compared to $12,342,000 of royalties earned during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2014. The increase is substantially attributable to significant organic growth in our consumer packaged hot dog business as a result of more effective sales, marketing and promotional strategies.
Sales from the Branded Product Program, featuring the sale of Nathan's hot dogs to the foodservice industry, increased by 3.5% to $47,160,000 during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2015, as compared to sales of $45,568,000 during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2014. This increase was primarily attributable to a 5.1% increase in the volume of products sold partially offset by lower average selling prices on the portion of our business where the selling price is calculated based upon the market price for beef, which has significantly declined during the past six months.
Sales from Company-operated restaurants were $14,872,000 during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2015 as compared to $14,497,000 during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2014 driven primarily from higher sales at both Coney Island locations.
Revenues from franchise operations were $3,804,000 during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2015, as compared to $4,473,000 during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2014. Total franchise fee income was $388,000 during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2015 as compared to $879,000 during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2014, primarily due to less international development fees. Thirty-five new franchised units were opened during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2015, including 11 international locations, including locations in Russia and Costa Rica, and 16 Branded Menu Program outlets. Twenty-eight new franchised units were opened during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2014, including 10 international locations, including our first locations in Costa Rica and Malaysia and 14 Branded Menu Program outlets. We also recognized forfeited fees of $58,000 during the fiscal 2016 period and $120,000 during the fiscal 2015 period.
On March 10, 2015, Nathan's completed a financing of $135.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes. Nathan's incurred interest expense, including amortized debt issuance costs, totaling $11,126,000 during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2015 on the Notes.
Nathan's also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the purchase by Nathan's of up to an additional 200,000 shares of its common stock. Purchases may be made from time to time, depending on market conditions, in open market or privately negotiated transactions, at prices deemed appropriate by management. There is no set time limit on the repurchases. After giving effect to the increase in the number of shares, an aggregate 266,074 shares remain available for purchase under Nathan's stock buy-back program. To date, pursuant to prior share repurchase programs authorized by the Board of Directors, Nathan's has purchased a total of 4,921,557 shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $68,070,000.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information:

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"), the Company has provided EBITDA excluding (i) interest expense; (ii) provision for income taxes and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense. The Company has also provided Adjusted EBITDA excluding (i) stock-based compensation and (ii) amortization of bond premium on the Company's available-for sale investments that the Company believes will impact the comparability of its results of operations.

The Company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors to assist in assessing and understanding the Company's operating performance and underlying trends in the Company's business because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are (i) among the measures used by management in evaluating performance and (ii) are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under US GAAP and should not be viewed as alternatives to net income or other measures of financial performance or liquidity in conformity with US GAAP. Additionally, our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from other companies. Analysis of results and outlook on a non-US GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with US GAAP.

PR Newswire
Nathan's Famous, Inc.
2 hours ago


JERICHO, N.Y., Aug. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Nathan's Famous, Inc. (NATH) today reported results for the first quarter of its 2016 fiscal year that ended June 28, 2015.

For the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2015:
•Revenues increased by 11.1% to $30,654,000, as compared to $27,585,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014;
•Income from operations increased by 12.3% to $7,616,000, as compared to $6,779,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014;
•Adjusted EBITDA, as subsequently defined, increased by 10.9% to $8,257,000 as compared to $7,447,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014;
•Net income was $2,310,000, as compared to $4,071,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014; and
•Earnings per diluted share were $0.50 per share, as compared to $0.89 per share for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014.

The Company reported the following:



•License royalties increased by 17.4% to $6,536,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2015, as compared to $5,568,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014. During the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2015, royalties earned under the John Morrell & Co., agreement increased by 19.7% to $6,095,000 as compared to $5,090,000 of royalties earned during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014.
•Sales from the Branded Product Program, featuring the sale of Nathan's hot dogs to the foodservice industry, increased by 15.6% to $17,415,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2015, as compared to sales of $15,064,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014. The increase is substantially attributable to significant organic growth in our consumer packaged hot dog business as a result of more effective sales, marketing and promotional strategies.
•Sales from the Company-operated restaurants were $5,299,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2015 as compared to $5,291,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014.
•Revenues from franchise operations decreased to $1,227,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2015, as compared to $1,489,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014. Total franchise fee income was $41,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2015 as compared to $227,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014, primarily due to store opening variances in our international franchising program. Fifteen new franchised units were opened during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2015, including ten Branded Menu Program outlets. Nine new franchised units were opened during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014, including five Branded Menu Program outlets and our first location in Costa Rica.
•On March 10, 2015, Nathan's completed its financing of $135.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2020. As a result of this offering, Nathan's results for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2015, include interest expense of approximately $3.7 million which has reduced net income by approximately $2.2 million or $0.47 per diluted share.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information:

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"), the Company has provided EBITDA excluding (i) interest expense; (ii) provision for income taxes and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense. The Company has also provided Adjusted EBITDA excluding (i) stock-based compensation and (ii) amortization of bond premium on the Company's available-for sale investments that the Company believes will impact the comparability of its results of operations.

The Company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors to assist in assessing and understanding the Company's operating performance and underlying trends in the Company's business because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are (i) among the measures used by management in evaluating performance and (ii) are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under US GAAP and should not be viewed as alternatives to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity in conformity with US GAAP. Additionally, our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from other companies. Analysis of results and outlook on a non-US GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with US GAAP.

JERICHO, N.Y., Aug. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Nathan's Famous, Inc. (NATH) today reported results for the first quarter of its 2016 fiscal year that ended June 28, 2015.

For the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2015:

•Income from operations increased by 12.3% to $7,616,000, as compared to $6,779,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014;
•Adjusted EBITDA, as subsequently defined, increased by 10.9% to $8,257,000 as compared to $7,447,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014;
•Net income was $2,310,000, as compared to $4,071,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014; and
•Earnings per diluted share were $0.50 per share, as compared to $0.89 per share for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014.

The Company reported the following:



•License royalties increased by 17.4% to $6,536,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2015, as compared to $5,568,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014. During the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2015, royalties earned under the John Morrell & Co., agreement increased by 19.7% to $6,095,000 as compared to $5,090,000 of royalties earned during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014.
•Sales from the Branded Product Program, featuring the sale of Nathan's hot dogs to the foodservice industry, increased by 15.6% to $17,415,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2015, as compared to sales of $15,064,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014. The increase is substantially attributable to significant organic growth in our consumer packaged hot dog business as a result of more effective sales, marketing and promotional strategies.
•Sales from the Company-operated restaurants were $5,299,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2015 as compared to $5,291,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014.

Total franchise fee income was $41,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2015 as compared to $227,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014, primarily due to store opening variances in our international franchising program. Fifteen new franchised units were opened during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2015, including ten Branded Menu Program outlets. Nine new franchised units were opened during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014, including five Branded Menu Program outlets and our first location in Costa Rica.
•On March 10, 2015, Nathan's completed its financing of $135.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2020. As a result of this offering, Nathan's results for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2015, include interest expense of approximately $3.7 million which has reduced net income by approximately $2.2 million or $0.47 per diluted share.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information:

Nathan's Famous, Inc. Reports Year-End And Fourth Quarter Results
PR Newswire Nathan's Famous, Inc.
June 13, 2014 8:30 AM
JERICHO, N.Y., June 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Nathan's Famous, Inc. (NATH) today reported results for its fiscal year and fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2014.

For the fiscal year ended March 30, 2014:

Revenues increased by 15.9% to $82,927,000, as compared to $71,543,000 during the fifty-three weeks ended March 31, 2013;
Net income increased by 11.5% to $8,327,000 as compared to $7,468,000 for the fifty-three weeks ended March 31, 2013; and
Earnings per diluted share increased by 11.0% to $1.81 as compared to $1.63 for the fifty-three weeks ended March 31, 2013.
For the fourth quarter ended March 30, 2014:

Revenues increased by 15.7% to $17,331,000, as compared to $14,976,000 during the fourteen weeks ended March 31, 2013;
Net income was $1,218,000 as compared to $1,555,000 for the fourteen weeks ended March 31, 2013; and
Earnings per diluted share were $0.27 as compared to $0.34 for the fourteen weeks ended March 31, 2013.
The Company also reported the following:

In March 2014, our new license agreement commenced with John Morrell & Co. replacing SMG, Inc. as Nathan's exclusive licensee to manufacture and sell Nathan's branded hot dog, sausage and corned beef products at retail. John Morrell & Co began initial shipments during the third week of March 2014. We expect to begin realizing the financial benefits of this new agreement in our first fiscal quarter ending in June 2014. As previously disclosed, we believe the financial terms of the John Morrell agreement are more advantageous to us compared to the financial terms of the previous SMG agreement. These improved terms include royalties of 10.8% of net sales, compared to approximately 4.5% of net sales under the SMG agreement, and significant minimum annual royalty guarantees. Under the John Morrell Agreement, the minimum guarantee for the first year is $10 Million, and we believe that actual royalties shall exceed the minimum. Royalties earned under the SMG agreement over the last 12 months of the SMG agreement were $5,323,000.
License royalties pursuant to all license agreements were $8,513,000 during the fifty-two weeks ended March 30, 2014, as compared to $8,571,000 during the fifty-three weeks ended March 31, 2013.
Sales from the Branded Product Program, featuring the sale of Nathan's hot dogs to the foodservice industry, increased by 20.0% to $51,877,000 during the fifty-two weeks ended March 30, 2014, as compared to sales of $43,214,000 during the fifty-three weeks ended March 31, 2013. Currently, products are being distributed throughout all 50 states in channels that include restaurant systems, convenience stores, travel centers, sports stadiums, entertainment venues, colleges and universities and vending.
Sales from the Company-owned restaurants were $13,231,000 during the fifty-two weeks ended March 30, 2014 as compared to $13,403,000 during the fifty-three weeks ended March 31, 2013; the decline in sales was due to the following: (1) Our Flagship Coney Island restaurant, which was severely damaged by Superstorm Sandy, reopened on May 20, 2013, losing eight (8) weeks of the spring season during the fiscal 2014 period, compared to the post-Sandy closure of twenty-two (22) weeks from November 2012 through March 2013 when sales at the restaurant are lower; and (2) The temporary closing of our Yonkers restaurant for redevelopment from December 2012 until reopening in November 2013. We estimate these two factors negatively impacted the sales comparison by approximately $2,087,000.
Sales at our two Coney Island locations were approximately $876,000 higher in the aggregate for the comparative weeks of operations during the fiscal year ended March 30, 2014 as compared to the prior fiscal year. Sales at our seasonal Boardwalk restaurant in Coney Island were approximately 16.8% higher during the thirty weeks of operations during the fiscal year ended March 30, 2014 as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.
Gross profit decreased to 19.0% of sales during the fifty-two weeks ended March 30, 2014, as compared to 20.8% of sales during the fifty-three weeks ended March 31, 2013 due primarily to the impact of the higher cost of beef on our Branded Product Program. During the fiscal 2014 period, the cost of our beef products were approximately 6.7% higher than the fiscal 2013 period due primarily to the increase in the beef trimmings markets during the fiscal year. We have taken steps to pass the recent cost increases on through price increases, but there can be no assurance we will be successful in doing so.
Revenues from franchise operations were $5,718,000 during the fifty-two weeks ended March 30, 2014, as compared to $5,842,000 during the fifty-three weeks ended March 31, 2013. We opened 56 new franchised units during the fifty-two weeks ended March 30, 2014, including eight Branded Menu Program outlets. Franchise sales were negatively impacted due to the unusually harsh winter weather this year.
Nathan's executed Master Development Agreements for the development of Nathan's restaurants and retail distribution throughout Costa Rica and the City of Lisbon, Portugal.
Nathan's realized a gain of $2,774,000 during the fifty-two weeks ended March 30, 2014 in connection with the settlement of its property damage and business interruption claims relating to Superstorm Sandy.
Nathan's recognized an impairment charge of $400,000 in connection with a long-term investment.

Nathan's Famous, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results

Nathan's Famous, Inc. 2 hours ago

JERICHO, N.Y., Nov. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Nathan's Famous, Inc. (NATH) today reported results for the second quarter of its 2014 fiscal year that ended September 29, 2013.

For the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2013:
•Net income was $2,648,000 as compared to $2,845,000 for the thirteen weeks ended September 23, 2012;
•Earnings per diluted share were $0.57 as compared to $0.62 for the thirteen weeks ended September 23, 2012; and
•Revenues increased by 10.8% to $23,662,000, as compared to $21,360,000 during the thirteen weeks ended September 23, 2012.

For the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2013:
•Net income increased by 23.7% to $6,002,000 as compared to $4,851,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended September 23, 2012;
•Earnings per diluted share increased by 22.6% to $1.30 as compared to $1.06 for the twenty-six weeks ended September 23, 2012; and
•Revenues increased by 13.3% to $47,063,000, as compared to $41,542,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 23, 2012.

The Company also reported the following:
•In March 2014, our new license agreement will commence with John Morrell & Co. replacing SMG, Inc. as Nathan's exclusive licensee to manufacture and sell branded hot dog, sausage and corned beef products at retail. As previously disclosed, we believe the financial terms of the John Morrell agreement are more advantageous to us compared to the financial terms of the current SMG agreement. Among those improved terms are royalties of 10.8% of net sales, compared to approximately 4.5% of net sales under the SMG agreement, as well as significant minimum annual royalty guarantees. Under the John Morrell Agreement, the minimum guarantee for the first year is $10 Million, and we believe that actual royalties should exceed the minimum. Royalties earned under the SMG agreement over the last 12 months were $5,366,000.
•License royalties pursuant to all license agreements were $4,416,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2013, as compared to $4,351,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 23, 2012.
•Sales from the Branded Product Program, featuring the sale of Nathan's hot dogs to the foodservice industry, increased by 16.4% to $27,101,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2013, as compared to sales of $23,291,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 23, 2012.
•Sales from the Company-owned restaurants were $9,545,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2013 as compared to $10,697,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 23, 2012; the decline in sales was due to the following: (1) Our Flagship Coney Island restaurant, which was severely damaged by Superstorm Sandy, was not fully repaired and did not reopen until May 20, 2013, and operated for only 18 weeks of the current fiscal year, compared to the full 26 weeks at this point of fiscal 2013; and (2) The temporary closing of our Yonkers restaurant for redevelopment since December 2012. We estimate that these two factors negatively impacted the sales comparison by approximately $1,895,000.
•Sales at our two Coney Island locations were approximately $801,000 higher in the aggregate than last season even though our Flagship Coney Island restaurant only operated for 18 weeks during the fiscal period ending September 29, 2013. Sales at our seasonal Boardwalk restaurant in Coney Island were approximately 17.1% higher during the 26 weeks ended September 29, 2013 than the 26 weeks ended September 23, 2012.
•Gross profit decreased to 21.7% of sales during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2013, as compared to 23.9% of sales during the twenty-six weeks ended September 23, 2012 due primarily to the impact of the higher cost of beef. During the second quarter fiscal 2014, the cost of our beef products were approximately 9.0% higher than the second quarter fiscal 2013 due primarily to an unusual increase in the beef trimmings markets during August and September 2013. We have begun taking steps to pass the recent cost increases on through price increases but there can be no assurance we will be successful in doing so.
•Revenues from franchise operations were $2,863,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2013, as compared to $2,938,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 23, 2012. Fifteen new franchised units were opened during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2013, including four Branded Menu Program outlets and seven locations in Moscow.
•Nathan's realized a gain of $2,801,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2013 in connection with the settlement of its flood damage and contents loss insurance claims relating to Superstorm Sandy.
•Nathan's recognized an impairment charge of $400,000 in connection with a long-term investment.
•Nathan's final appeal in the SMG litigation was denied. As a result, the judgment of $4,910,000 and all post-judgment interest of $1,099,000, was satisfied on July 24, 2013. As previously described, we accrued the expense of the judgment in October 2010, and have been accruing the expenses for post-judgment interest on a monthly basis throughout the appeals process.
•In October, 2013, Nathan's was ranked #55 on the Forbes list of the Best Small Companies in America and was listed as the Best Small Company in New York State.
