CINCINNATI, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Frisch's Restaurants, Inc. (NYSE Amex: FRS) reported higher earnings for its 12-week fiscal second quarter ended December 15, 2009. Net earnings for the quarter increased 6.9% to $2,369,217 compared to $2,215,787 last year. Diluted earnings per share increased to $.46 per share, from $.43 per share last year. Sales declined 1.7% to $67,898,586 from $69,093,061 in last year's second quarter.
For the first half of fiscal 2010, sales were $156,880,688 falling 1.3% from $158,974,692 for the first half of last year. Earnings increased 22% to $5,356,882 from $4,390,847. Diluted earnings per share rose to $1.03 from $.85 last year.
Craig F. Maier, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Same store sales at our Big Boy Restaurants decreased a modest 0.4% in the second quarter. The sluggish economy and continuing high unemployment have driven down customer traffic in our restaurants."
Maier added, "Our Golden Corral restaurants posted a same store sales decline of 3.6% during the second quarter. The recession in the Midwest has had an even stronger negative impact on the sales of our Golden Corrals. Despite the lower sales, our Golden Corrals managed to post their fourth straight quarter of positive earnings."
The increase in earnings for the quarter in both concepts can mostly be attributed to a drop in food cost. Earnings were also helped by lower utility costs, offset to a degree by rises in pension and medical plan expenses.
The Company opened two new Big Boy restaurants in the second quarter, one of which replaced an older facility on a superior nearby site. Frisch's operates 89 company-owned Big Boy restaurants and there are an additional 25 franchised Big Boy restaurants operated by licensees. The Company also operates 35 Golden Corral restaurants.
