"During this unprecedented time for the restaurant industry, I'm extremely proud of how our franchisees and team members have responded," said Brandon Solano, Chief Executive Officer of Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. "I've been inspired by our system's resilience and their tireless efforts to ensure that our restaurants remain a safe place to work and dine during the Coronavirus outbreak. Additionally, we have taken extensive measures to protect Rave's financial stability. We looked at all areas to reduce expenses, including furloughing two-thirds of our support staff and an across-the-board 20% pay reduction for all other employees and executive leadership late in the third quarter. I am grateful for our team's sacrifices and the continued support of our guests and communities."

The Company's basic net loss increased $0.28 per share to $0.30 per share for the three months ended March 29, 2020, compared to basic net loss of $0.02 per share for the same period of the prior year. The Company had net loss of $4.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and compared to net loss of $0.3 million for the same period of the prior year. Revenues were $2.7 million for the three months ended March 29, 2020 compared to $3.1 million in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The decline in revenue was primarily due to decreases in restaurant sales, franchise royalties and franchise license fees, partially offset by an increase in advertising funds.

EBITDA of -$0.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was a $0.3 million decrease from the same period of the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA of $0.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was a $0.2 million decrease from the same period of the prior year.

Third Quarter and Year to Date Fiscal 2020 Operating Results

Pizza Inn domestic comparable store retail sales decreased by 7.8% during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the same period of the prior year driven by a significant decline in sales during March related to COVID-19. Year to date, Pizza Inn domestic comparable store retail sales decreased by 1.2% compared to the same period of the prior year.

"As our buffet business was particularly challenged, we took prompt action to maximize value to guests and reduce the impact of dining room closures," said Solano. "Pizza Inn launched Contactless Buffet To-Go for carryout and delivery to provide guests a customized buffet option in the comfort and safety of their own homes. We also recognized the need for off-premise solutions and quickly expanded our online footprint along with negotiating favorable terms with third-party delivery services. Last month, we introduced the 'Right Way Buffet™' that allows our buffet locations to open their dining rooms while practicing enhanced health and safety measures."

Pie Five domestic comparable store retail sales decreased by 21.4% during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the same period of the prior year primarily driven by COVID-19. Year to date, Pie Five domestic comparable store sales decreased by 14.4% compared to the same period of the prior year.

"At Pie Five, we are continuing to work with franchisees to mitigate the effects of the pandemic," said Solano. "Although sales and traffic continue to reflect the impact of this crisis, we believe the investments we made in building a strong loyalty program, third-party delivery partnerships and digital capabilities have positioned us to stay connected to our consumers. Our everyday value offerings have helped to ensure that all of our guests have access to affordable dining options throughout this crisis. I'm also proud of our efforts to serve essential workers that have been bravely serving us in communities across the country."

Consolidated revenues of $2.7 million and $8.4 million for the third quarter and year to date fiscal 2020 were 11.9% and 9.1% lower, respectively, than the same periods of the prior year.

Development Review

During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, Pizza Inn opened three domestic units and closed four units to finish the quarter at 152 domestic units comprised of 83 Buffet Units, 56 Delco/Express Units and 13 PIE Units. As of today, we have 79 domestic Buffet Units, 53 Delco/Express Units and 12 PIE Units open for business with eight temporary closures.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2020, Pie Five opened zero new domestic units and closed ten domestic units, bringing the domestic unit count to 43 restaurants at the end of the quarter. As of today, we have 32 Pie Five restaurants open for business with six temporary closures.

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, discontinued operations, franchisee default and closed store revenue/expense, and closed and non-operating store costs.
