GOLDEN, Colo., Aug. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Einstein/Noah Bagel Corp. (Nasdaq: ENBX) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended July 11, 1999. Highlights include:
-- Systemwide net revenue was $87,296,000 versus $87,899,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1998. The decrease was due to a smaller average base of stores in 1999. -- Systemwide store level cash flow increased 16.4% to $14,232,000 from $12,224,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1998. -- Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $6,017,000 versus $4,253,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1998. -- Reported net loss for the quarter was $ 2,733,000 or $0.08 diluted loss per share versus a net loss of $8,949,000 or $0.27 diluted loss per share for the second quarter of fiscal 1998. -- Systemwide average net weekly per store sales for the quarter were $13,529 compared with $13,326 for the second quarter of fiscal 1998. -- At the end of the quarter, there were 540 stores open, 428 Einstein Bros.(R) Bagels and 112 Noah's New York Bagels(R) stores.
"Although the second quarter systemwide net revenue was relatively flat compared with a year ago, this quarter we delivered solid store-level cash flow of $14,232,000. This represents a 16.4% increase versus the second quarter of 1998. While we still have improvements to make, I am encouraged by the store operations and by our ability to manage the store P&L," said Bob Hartnett, Chairman, CEO and President.

"This Summer we introduced more fresh sandwiches and salads on flatbreads at Einstein Bros. Bagels. Our new signature sandwiches, The Cobbie, Club Mex and Big Hero are featured on our new Challah rolls. In addition, we have introduced an improved egg bagel sandwich so customers can add ingredients such as scallions and cheese to turkey sausage and green chilies to smoked salmon. The introduction of these new items is consistent with our strategy of providing both long-time customers and interested newcomers incredibly fresh and flavorful alternatives to dining in the morning and throughout the day," added Hartnett.
Currently, there are 540 ENBC retail bagel stores in 29 states and the District of Columbia operating under the Einstein Bros.(R) Bagels and Noah's New York Bagels(R) brand names. Einstein Bros. and Noah's stores are unique bagel cafes and bakeries featuring fresh-baked bagels, a variety of cream cheese spreads, specialty coffee drinks, soups, sandwiches and salads.
