Unit Level Second Quarter Performance Exceeds Prior Year - Revenues Increase 21%
MINNEAPOLIS, August 10, 2005 - Granite City Food & Brewery Ltd. (Nasdaq: GCFB) today reported the results of operations for the second quarter ended June 28, 2005.
For the quarter ended June 28, 2005, total revenue was $8,534,251 compared to $7,460,935 for the second quarter of 2004. The Company reported a net loss of ($579,322), or ($0.05) per share for the quarter ended June 28, 2005, compared to a net loss of ($369,265), or ($0.11) per share for the second quarter of 2004.
"We are extremely pleased with our store-level contribution," said Steve Wagenheim, Granite City Food & Brewery's President and CEO. "Our income from restaurant operations, before pre-opening, corporate overhead, depreciation and amortization, was 19.2% of revenue for the quarter and 18.0% year to date. I believe this is one of the strongest unit level performances in the industry," Wagenheim added, "and we are looking forward to continued strong performance as our guests enjoy the summer patio season." Wagenheim said the company anticipates additional increases in corporate overhead costs in the near term as it continues building a solid infrastructure to maintain growth. However, he said he believes the addition of new units will result in greater economies of scale for these costs in the long term and will increase shareholder value.
For the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2005, total revenue was $16,404,588 compared to $13,600,302 for the same period last year. The Company reported a net loss of ($961,976), or ($0.08) per share for the two quarters ended June 28, 2005 compared to a net loss of ($672,392), or ($0.27) per share for the same period one year ago.
