Kent Taylor, Chief Executive Officer of Texas Roadhouse, commented, “We were very pleased to have finished 2012 on a strong note, with double-digit revenue and earnings per share growth. Despite the consumer and inflationary challenges, we achieved our third consecutive year of positive same-store sales growth and another year of increased store level profitability. In addition, our strong balance sheet and healthy cash flows enabled us to return $54 million of excess capital to shareholders through share repurchases and quarterly dividend payments. While we anticipate further commodity inflation in 2013, we believe our brand is well-positioned for future growth and feel confident about increasing our new restaurant growth for the third consecutive year.”
Effective December 25, 2012, the Company acquired two franchise restaurants in Illinois for an aggregate purchase price of $4.3 million. The purchase price was paid in cash. The acquisition did not have a net revenue or accretive impact in 2012 as it occurred on the last day of the Company’s 2012 fiscal year.
The Company reported that comparable restaurant sales at company restaurants for the first 55 days of its fiscal 2013 increased approximately 2.2% compared to the prior year period. Additionally, the Company announced that it implemented a menu price increase of approximately 2.0% across its restaurants in December 2012.
On February 14, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the payment of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock. This payment, which will be distributed on March 29, 2013 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 13, 2013, represents a 33% increase from the cash dividend of $0.09 per share of common stock declared during each quarter of 2012.
