“We are pleased to report a very strong quarter of profitability and EBITDA growth, reflecting the strength of our brands and shift towards more franchised stores,” said Ricardo Figueiredo Bomeny, CEO of Brazil Fast Food Corp. “We maintained a strong and liquid balance sheet, which gives us the flexibility to invest in future expansion.”

Second Quarter 2012 Results

System-wide sales grew 22.3% in the second quarter to R$254.2 million, driven by an increase in the number of franchised points of sale as well as higher sales from company-owned stores.

Total revenue for the second quarter 2012 increased by 8.0% to R$55.1 million compared to R$51.0 million in the second quarter 2011.

Net restaurant sales for company-owned retail outlets was up 5.0% year-over-year to R$40.2 million in the second quarter 2012, reflecting an increase in net revenues across the Company’s KFC and Pizza Hut brands, offset somewhat by a decrease in net revenues for the Company’s Bob’s and Doggis brand. In 2011 the Company converted all its own-operated Doggis’ stores to franchised stores.

Net revenue from franchisees increased 23.7% year-over-year to R$9.7 million, driven primarily by an increase in number of franchised retail outlets to 893, up from 736 in the same period a year ago. Other revenue and income totaled R$5.1 million in the second quarter 2012 up from R$4.8 million in the year ago period.

Operating expenses grew 6.6% to R$50.0 million in the second quarter 2012 from R$46.9 million in the second quarter of 2011. As a percentage of revenue, operating costs declined to 90.9% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2012 to 92.1% of total revenue in the same period of 2011.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2012 was R$5.0 million, compared to R$4.0 million in the second quarter of 2011. Operating margin in the second quarter of 2012 improved to 9.1% compared to 7.9% in the same period of 2011.

EBITDA in the second quarter of 2012 was R$6.7 million, compared to R$5.4 million in the second quarter of 2011. EBITDA margin was 12.1% compared to 10.5% in the comparable period of 2011. Please refer Table No. 4 in this press release for a reconciliation of EBITDA to its nearest GAAP equivalent.

Interest expense was R$0.2 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to interest income of R$0.2 million in the second quarter of 2011.

Net income for the second quarter of 2012 was R$3.6 million, or R$0.45 per basic and diluted share, up 10.6% from net income of R$3.3 million, or R$0.41 per basic and diluted share in the same period of 2011.

Six Months 2011 Results

For the six months ended in June 30, 2012, total net revenue was R$115.6 million, up 9.1% from R$105.9 million in the comparable period of 2011. Operating income was R$10.6 million, up 18.4% from R$8.9 million in the comparable period in 2011. Operating margin was 9.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 8.4% in the comparable period in 2011. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was R$7.0 million, down 6.4% from R$7.5 million in the comparable period in 2010. Basic and diluted earnings per share were R$0.87 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to R$0.93 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2012, Brazil Fast Food had R$23.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, up from R$21.4 million as of December 31, 2011. Working capital was R$15.2 million, as compared to R$16.9 million as of the end of 2011. Total shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2012 was R$53.2 million, compared to R$45.5 million at the end of 2011.

In the first six months of 2012, Brazil Fast Food generated net cash flow from operating activities of R$8.5 million, representing a decrease of 11.9%, from R$9.6 million for the comparable period in 2011. The Company used R$9.0 million in cash towards investment in property and equipment to improve the Company’s retail operations, mainly setting up new owned-and-operated KFC and Pizza Hut stores.

Business Outlook

In May 2012, the Company acquired Yoggi do Brasil Ltda (“Yoggi”) which operates a franchise network of frozen yogurt in Brazil since 2008 with 48 franchised point of sales and 43 franchisees. Management anticipates synergy savings from this acquisition and foresees possible market consolidation. Brazil Fast Food expects to increase the total number of points of sale to 150 over the next five years.

“Under the KFC and Pizza Hut brand, we have own-operated stores, as franchisee of Yum! brands. We are focused on enhancing our own-stores profitability and operational margins in the coming quarters. We do not have any own-operated stores under the Doggis and Yoggi brands. Our growth strategy for these two brands is to expand through franchisees and to become a market leader in the hot dog and frozen yogurt segments. We believe there is a tremendous growth opportunity in Brazil and we will seek to expand our market share in these two segments. At the end of 2012, we expect Bobs’ brand to reach a total of 1000 points of sale, a 20.5% increase from 2011. Our objective is to continuously expand and increase our margins for our own-operated stores and franchised stores under the Bob’s brand,” concluded Mr. Bomeny.
