Highlight of Business Operations:Maggiano’s revenues increased 3.4% to $94.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 from $91.6 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2011. For the year-to-date period, Maggiano’s revenues increased 3.4% to $290.9 million from $281.2 million in fiscal 2011. The increase in revenue was driven by comparable restaurant sales increases of 3.9% and 3.4% for the third quarter and year-to-date periods of fiscal 2012, respectively, resulting from favorable menu prices and improved traffic, partially offset by a $0.7 million reduction related to the gift card breakage adjustment recorded in the third quarter.

Royalty and franchise revenues increased 1.8% to $17.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $17.1 million in the prior year. For the year-to-date period, royalty and franchise revenues increased 3.3% to $49.8 million compared to $48.2 million in fiscal 2011. The increase is primarily due to an increase in royalty revenues driven by the net addition of seven franchised restaurants since March 30, 2011. Royalty revenues are recognized based on the sales generated by our franchisees and reported to us. Our franchisees generated approximately $415 million in sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, an increase of 3.5% over the prior year. For the year-to-date period, our franchisees generated approximately $1,193 million in sales, an increase of 4.0% over prior year.

Cost of sales, as a percent of revenues, increased to 27.6% for the third quarter and 27.3% for the year-to-date periods of fiscal 2012 from 27.2% and 26.9% for the respective prior year periods. Cost of sales was negatively impacted in the current year by an increase in commodity pricing on beef, oils and dairy, partially offset by favorable menu pricing. Third quarter cost of sales as a percent of revenues was also negatively impacted by approximately 0.1% due to the gift card breakage adjustment to revenues.

The effective income tax rate increased to 28.2% for the third quarter compared to 27.5% in the prior year primarily due to increased earnings. The effective income tax rate increased to 28.8% for the year-to-date period compared to 22.5% in the prior year primarily due to the resolution of certain state tax positions resulting in a positive impact in the prior year as well as increased earnings in the current year.

The Strategy of Ben Graham – Warren Buffett’s Mentor

From 1923 to 1957 Warren Buffett’s mentor, Ben Graham, followed a strategy of investing in net-nets. He said: “It always seemed, and still seems ridiculously simple to say that if one can acquire a diversified group of common stocks at a price less than the...net current assets alone…the results should be quite satisfactory. They were so in our experience, for more than 30 years.”
Today net-nets are rare. They are collected under GuruFocus’ Net-Net Screener. GuruFocus also publishes a monthly newsletter which recommends the safest net-nets. All of these are included in GuruFocus Premium Membership.
