"The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges to both of our brands but, as our recovery efforts progress, it is encouraging to see our focus on safety, convenience, quality and value resonating with our customers," said Brandon Solano, Chief Executive Officer of Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. "I continue to be inspired by the coordinated response from our franchisees and restaurant support team to drive traffic and incremental sales through new channels and operations."

"At Pizza Inn, we are focusing on safely reopening dining rooms by launching the Right-Way Buffet and relying on third-party home delivery to add new revenue streams," said Solano. "It's our top priority to ensure our guests feel safe inside our dining room and our New Right-Way Buffet is our way of giving them the same buffet experience with enhanced safety measures. Guest feedback has been very positive, with many customers communicating their appreciation for the option of enjoying the same Pizza Inn variety and quality that they have loved for over 60 years. For guests who feel more comfortable enjoying Pizza Inn at home, our Contactless Buffet To-Go is still available for carryout and delivery. In addition, 40% of our system is utilizing third-party home delivery and we anticipate this number to continue to increase."

"A majority of our Pie Five locations are also utilizing third-party delivery and we continue to leverage the Circle of Crust loyalty app as a traffic driver for the brand," said Solano. "In addition, we are also working on exciting new menu enhancements that should be in test later this year and focusing efforts on operational efficiency and positive guest experience."

Clint Fendley, Vice President of Finance at RAVE, commented, "Income before taxes of $32 thousand for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 reflects our aggressive efforts to control costs in the face of the reduced revenue caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. For all of fiscal 2020, the $0.2 million loss before taxes was a $0.6 million improvement over fiscal 2019 largely as the result of reduced impairment costs. Net loss of $4.2 million for the full 2020 fiscal year was primarily the result of income tax expense of $4.1 million attributable to a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets taken in the third quarter. We believe that the budgetary measures we have taken during the last several months and our financial performance during this unprecedented pandemic bode well for the future of the Company."

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 costs, gain/loss sale of assets, costs related to impairment, closed and non-operating store costs. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to net income is included with the accompanying financial statements.
