Said Brandon Solano, Chief Executive Officer of RAVE Restaurant Group, Inc., "Our fiscal year shows significant same store sales growth at both Pizza Inn and Pie Five, double-digit total revenue growth, and an increase in earnings quality as we overlapped $0.7 million in prior year Employee Retention Credit (ERC) funding resulting in a modest $0.2 million dip in pre-tax income."

"While maintaining the discipline of cost controls, we continue to invest in the future of our business," Solano said. "The investments in our Pizza Inn retail image have begun to pay returns as we opened our first new image retail prototype in Asheboro, NC, in May and begin a new era of reimaging our tired buffet assets in the Pizza Inn system. Our development pipeline yielded four new buffets in Q4, resulting in net +5 Pizza Inn buffets for FY '23, marking the second consecutive year of net buffet increases after 24 consecutive years without growth."

Solano continued, "While the restaurant industry appears to have abandoned dine-in, we continue to lean into our differentiated strategy, focusing on the value and variety of Pizza Inn's buffet while capturing delivery and carry-out. We know our customers are hungry for a connection and an 'experience‘ with their families. To deliver on customer expectations and increase our competitiveness, we announced a required buffet reimaging program at our July Pizza Inn franchise convention. We plan to reimage our tired buffet assets and bring our new retail image to 95% of our locations within the next three years."

"Similarly, Pie Five is undergoing significant investment and changes. After rolling out the most significant menu transformation in the brand's history, focusing on differentiated pizzas made for the individual, and eliminating large pizzas, we are implementing a test to add Pizza Inn "ghost kitchens" to targeted Pie Five locations. This test will leverage Pizza Inn's "latent brand equity" in areas without Pizza Inn coverage to drive volume and four-wall economics. We expect to be in-field with this test in Q2."

"Overall, we had a strong fiscal year '23 and I'm grateful for our gritty franchisees and team members and their relentless commitment to excellence."

Clint Fendley, Chief Financial Officer of RAVE Restaurant Group, Inc. further explained, "Fiscal 2023's financial results highlight the Company's continued efforts to invest in our brands while maintaining a healthy balance sheet and creating value for our shareholders. During fiscal 2023, domestic buffet count increased and comparable sales grew for both brands, resulting in revenue growth outpacing expenses. Cash provided by operating activities increased by $1.2 million and we repurchased shares of our common stock for a total of $5.0 million during fiscal 2023."

"In fiscal 2022 we fully recognized our deferred tax asset of $5.7 million due to the long-term earnings and growth prospects for our company, impacting year-over-year fiscal 2023 net income comparisons."

"As we reimage locations and expand our brand, we plan on maintaining cost controls and seeking out ways to maximize value for our shareholders. We look forward to continued execution of our differentiated strategy and investment in our brands during fiscal 2024."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). However, the Company also presents and discusses certain non-GAAP financial measures that it believes are useful to investors as measures of operating performance. Management may also use such non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the effectiveness of business strategies and for planning and budgeting purposes. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as an alternative or substitute for its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be important supplemental measures of operating performance that are commonly used by securities analysts, investors and other parties interested in our industry. The Company believes that EBITDA is helpful to investors in evaluating its results of operations without the impact of expenses affected by financing methods, accounting methods and the tax environment. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides additional useful information to investors by excluding non-operational or non-recurring expenses to provide a measure of operating performance that is more comparable from period to period. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures for evaluating operating performance, assessing the effectiveness of business strategies, projecting future capital needs, budgeting and other planning purposes.

"EBITDA" represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. "Adjusted EBITDA" represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, severance, gain/loss on sale of assets, costs related to impairment and other lease charges, franchise default and closed store revenue/expense, and closed and non-operating store costs. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to net income is included with the accompanying financial statements.

Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release, other than historical information, may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Assumptions relating to these forward-looking statements involve judgments with respect to, among other things, the effectiveness of our cost cutting measures, the continued returns on our reimaging initiatives, the strength of our development pipeline, as well as future economic, competitive and market conditions, regulatory framework and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of RAVE Restaurant Group, Inc. Although the assumptions underlying these forward-looking statements are believed to be reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that any forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward-looking statements, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation that the objectives and plans of RAVE Restaurant Group, Inc. will be achieved.
