SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Nov. 9, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:DFRH) (the "Company," or "DRH"), both a franchisor of Bagger Dave's Legendary Burger Tavern(R) ("Bagger Dave's"), a full-service, ultra-casual restaurant and bar, and a leading franchisee of 22 Buffalo Wild Wings(R) ("BWW") restaurants, reports a third quarter revenue increase of $3.2 million or 27.7% to $14.6 million in 2011 from $11.4 million in 2010. The increase was primarily due to the opening of four new restaurants in 2011 (two Bagger Dave's restaurants and two BWW restaurants) and revenues generated by four restaurants (one Bagger Dave's restaurant and three BWW restaurants) that opened prior to 2011 but did not meet the criteria for same-store-sales criteria used by DRH.
Net income attributable to DRH in the third quarter of 2011 was $151 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to an adjusted loss of (0.00) per diluted share in the same period of the prior year.
David G. Burke, CFO of DRH, commented, "Our commitment to our customers and our ability to execute new restaurant openings, continues to pay off. Our growth plans for 2011 are right on schedule and we expect nothing less in 2012."
RESTAURANT OPENINGS
The following table outlines the restaurant unit information for the fiscal years indicated. "Total owned restaurants" reflects the number of restaurants owned and operated by DRH for each year. From the Company's inception to February 1, 2010, it managed nine BWW restaurants that were owned by affiliated parties. On February 1, 2010, these restaurants were acquired by the Company. "Total managed restaurants" reflects the total number of restaurants managed and/or owned by the Company. Our 2009 comparative results are a consolidation of owned and managed restaurants based on the accounting of an acquisition of entities under common control (refer to Note 3 in the notes to consolidated financial statements for further details).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended September 25, 2011 ("Third Quarter 2011") and the nine months ended September 25, 2011 ("Year to Date 2011"), revenue was generated from the operations of 21 BWW restaurants (two of which opened in February 2011) and five Bagger Dave's restaurants (of which one opened in late February 2011 and another opened in mid-September 2011). The Company opened its 22nd BWW restaurant on October 30, 2011. For the three months ended September 26, 2010 ("Third Quarter 2010") and nine months ended September 26, 2010 ("Year to Date 2010"), revenue was generated from the operations of 18 BWW restaurants (of which one opened in June 2010 and another opened in August 2010) and three Bagger Dave's restaurants (one of which opened in February 2010).
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 25, 2011 and September 26, 2010
Our operating results below are expressed as a percentage of total revenue on the basis of comparison to prior periods.
Three Months Ended

2011 2010
Total revenue 100.0% 100.0%

Compensation costs 29.2% 29.3.%

General and administrative 23.6% 23.0%

Total revenue for Third Quarter 2011 was $14.6 million, an increase of $3.2 million or 27.7% over the $11.4 million of revenue generated during Third Quarter 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to two factors. First, approximately $2.6 million of the increase was attributable to revenues generated from the opening of four new restaurants in 2011 (two Bagger Dave's restaurant and two BWW restaurants) and revenues generated by four restaurants (one Bagger Dave's restaurant and three BWW restaurants) that opened prior to 2011 but did not meet the criteria for same-store-sales for all or part of the three-month period. Second, we believe the remaining $596 thousand increase was related to a 5.7% increase in same-store-sales for 16 BWW restaurants meeting our same-store-sales criteria and a 10.2% increase in same-store-sales for three Bagger Dave's restaurants meeting our same-store-sales criteria.
Compensation cost increased by $908 thousand or 27.1% to $4.3 million in Third Quarter 2011 from $3.3 million in Third Quarter 2010. The increase was primarily due to the addition of six restaurants. Compensation cost as a percentage of sales decreased to 29.2% in Third Quarter 2011 from 29.3% in Third Quarter 2010 primarily due to the fact that the proportional increase in revenue exceeded the increase of management compensation.
Food and beverage cost increased by $926 thousand or 28.0% to $4.2 million in Third Quarter 2011 from $3.3 million in Third Quarter 2010. The increase was primarily due to the addition of six restaurants. Food and beverage cost as a percentage of sales remained consistent at 29.0% in Third Quarter 2011 and Third Quarter 2010.
General and administrative cost increased by $816 thousand or 31.1% to $3.4 million in Third Quarter 2011 from $2.6 million in Third Quarter 2010. This increase was primarily due to the addition of six restaurants. General and administrative cost as a percentage of sales increased to 23.6% in Third Quarter 2011 from 23.0% in Third Quarter 2010 primarily due to a nonrecurring increase in professional fees.
Pre-opening cost increased by $69 thousand or 104.2% to $135 thousand in Third Quarter 2011 from $66 thousand in Third Quarter 2010. The difference in pre-opening cost was due to the timing and overall cost to build and open new stores during the period. The Company had one new store opening in the Third Quarter 2011 and two scheduled openings in early Fourth Quarter 2011, versus one store opening in Third Quarter 2010 and one store opening in Fourth Quarter 2010. Pre-opening cost as a percentage of sales increased to 0.9% in Third Quarter 2011 from 0.6% in Third Quarter 2010.
Occupancy cost increased by $44 thousand or 5.4% to $855 thousand in Third Quarter 2011 from $811 thousand in Third Quarter 2010. This increase was primarily due to the addition of six new stores. Occupancy cost as a percentage of sales decreased to 5.9% in Third Quarter 2011 from 7.1% in Third Quarter 2010, primarily due to the Brandon building acquisition in June 2010 as well as negotiated rate reductions.
Depreciation and amortization cost increased by $183 thousand or 26.1% to $881 thousand in Third Quarter 2011 from $699 thousand in Third Quarter 2010. This increase was primarily due to the addition of six restaurants. Depreciation and amortization cost as a percentage of sales decreased to 6.0% in Third Quarter 2011 from 6.1% in Third Quarter 2010 primarily due to the increase in same-store-sales.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Cash and cash equivalents were $2.2 million at September 25, 2011 compared with $1.4 million at December 26, 2010.
DRH generated $5.5 million in cash from operations in year to date 2011 compared with cash from operations of $2.8 million in the same period in the prior year. The increase in cash flows is attributed to the increase in the number of stores and efficiencies gained at existing stores.
Total capital expenditures for the 2011 year are expected to be approximately $9.1 million, of which approximately $7.2 million is for new restaurant construction, $1.3 million is for existing store renovations, and $0.6 million is for real estate.
Outlook for fourth quarter in 2011 and for 2012
During the final quarter 2011, on November 13, 2011, DRH will open its sixth Bagger Dave's restaurant in Cascade Township, Michigan.
On June 7, 2011, the Company, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into a First Amended and Restated Development Line of Credit Agreement (the "DLOC Agreement") with RBS, N.A. ("RBS"). The DLOC Agreement provides for an $8 million credit facility with RBS (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility consists of a $7 million development line of credit ("DLOC") and a $1 million revolving line of credit ("Revolving Line of Credit"). The Credit Facility will fund the development of Buffalo Wild Wings in the states of Florida and Michigan and Bagger Dave's restaurants in up to six states in the Midwest. The remaining capital needs will be funded via operational cash flows.
Michael Ansley, President and CEO of DRH, stated, "We are pleased with our performance and very excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. We continue to not only grow Buffalo Wild Wings but also fulfill our commitment to expand Bagger Dave's throughout the Midwest with a combination of Company-owned stores and new franchisees. 2012 will be the strongest year yet for Diversified Restaurant Holdings."

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Nov. 9, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:DFRH) (the "Company," or "DRH"), both a franchisor of Bagger Dave's Legendary Burger Tavern(R) ("Bagger Dave's"), a full-service, ultra-casual restaurant and bar, and a leading franchisee of 22 Buffalo Wild Wings(R) ("BWW") restaurants, reports a third quarter revenue increase of $3.2 million or 27.7% to $14.6 million in 2011 from $11.4 million in 2010. The increase was primarily due to the opening of four new restaurants in 2011 (two Bagger Dave's restaurants and two BWW restaurants) and revenues generated by four restaurants (one Bagger Dave's restaurant and three BWW restaurants) that opened prior to 2011 but did not meet the criteria for same-store-sales criteria used by DRH.
Net income attributable to DRH in the third quarter of 2011 was $151 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to an adjusted loss of (0.00) per diluted share in the same period of the prior year.
David G. Burke, CFO of DRH, commented, "Our commitment to our customers and our ability to execute new restaurant openings, continues to pay off. Our growth plans for 2011 are right on schedule and we expect nothing less in 2012."

Total revenue for Third Quarter 2011 was $14.6 million, an increase of $3.2 million or 27.7% over the $11.4 million of revenue generated during Third Quarter 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to two factors. First, approximately $2.6 million of the increase was attributable to revenues generated from the opening of four new restaurants in 2011 (two Bagger Dave's restaurant and two BWW restaurants) and revenues generated by four restaurants (one Bagger Dave's restaurant and three BWW restaurants) that opened prior to 2011 but did not meet the criteria for same-store-sales for all or part of the three-month period. Second, we believe the remaining $596 thousand increase was related to a 5.7% increase in same-store-sales for 16 BWW restaurants meeting our same-store-sales criteria and a 10.2% increase in same-store-sales for three Bagger Dave's restaurants meeting our same-store-sales criteria.
Compensation cost increased by $908 thousand or 27.1% to $4.3 million in Third Quarter 2011 from $3.3 million in Third Quarter 2010. The increase was primarily due to the addition of six restaurants. Compensation cost as a percentage of sales decreased to 29.2% in Third Quarter 2011 from 29.3% in Third Quarter 2010 primarily due to the fact that the proportional increase in revenue exceeded the increase of management compensation.
Food and beverage cost increased by $926 thousand or 28.0% to $4.2 million in Third Quarter 2011 from $3.3 million in Third Quarter 2010. The increase was primarily due to the addition of six restaurants. Food and beverage cost as a percentage of sales remained consistent at 29.0% in Third Quarter 2011 and Third Quarter 2010.
General and administrative cost increased by $816 thousand or 31.1% to $3.4 million in Third Quarter 2011 from $2.6 million in Third Quarter 2010. This increase was primarily due to the addition of six restaurants. General and administrative cost as a percentage of sales increased to 23.6% in Third Quarter 2011 from 23.0% in Third Quarter 2010 primarily due to a nonrecurring increase in professional fees.
Pre-opening cost increased by $69 thousand or 104.2% to $135 thousand in Third Quarter 2011 from $66 thousand in Third Quarter 2010. The difference in pre-opening cost was due to the timing and overall cost to build and open new stores during the period. The Company had one new store opening in the Third Quarter 2011 and two scheduled openings in early Fourth Quarter 2011, versus one store opening in Third Quarter 2010 and one store opening in Fourth Quarter 2010. Pre-opening cost as a percentage of sales increased to 0.9% in Third Quarter 2011 from 0.6% in Third Quarter 2010.
Occupancy cost increased by $44 thousand or 5.4% to $855 thousand in Third Quarter 2011 from $811 thousand in Third Quarter 2010. This increase was primarily due to the addition of six new stores. Occupancy cost as a percentage of sales decreased to 5.9% in Third Quarter 2011 from 7.1% in Third Quarter 2010, primarily due to the Brandon building acquisition in June 2010 as well as negotiated rate reductions.
Depreciation and amortization cost increased by $183 thousand or 26.1% to $881 thousand in Third Quarter 2011 from $699 thousand in Third Quarter 2010. This increase was primarily due to the addition of six restaurants. Depreciation and amortization cost as a percentage of sales decreased to 6.0% in Third Quarter 2011 from 6.1% in Third Quarter 2010 primarily due to the increase in same-store-sales.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Cash and cash equivalents were $2.2 million at September 25, 2011 compared with $1.4 million at December 26, 2010.
DRH generated $5.5 million in cash from operations in year to date 2011 compared with cash from operations of $2.8 million in the same period in the prior year. The increase in cash flows is attributed to the increase in the number of stores and efficiencies gained at existing stores.
Total capital expenditures for the 2011 year are expected to be approximately $9.1 million, of which approximately $7.2 million is for new restaurant construction, $1.3 million is for existing store renovations, and $0.6 million is for real estate.
Outlook for fourth quarter in 2011 and for 2012
During the final quarter 2011, on November 13, 2011, DRH will open its sixth Bagger Dave's restaurant in Cascade Township, Michigan.
On June 7, 2011, the Company, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into a First Amended and Restated Development Line of Credit Agreement (the "DLOC Agreement") with RBS, N.A. ("RBS"). The DLOC Agreement provides for an $8 million credit facility with RBS (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility consists of a $7 million development line of credit ("DLOC") and a $1 million revolving line of credit ("Revolving Line of Credit"). The Credit Facility will fund the development of Buffalo Wild Wings in the states of Florida and Michigan and Bagger Dave's restaurants in up to six states in the Midwest. The remaining capital needs will be funded via operational cash flows.
Michael Ansley, President and CEO of DRH, stated, "We are pleased with our performance and very excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. We continue to not only grow Buffalo Wild Wings but also fulfill our commitment to expand Bagger Dave's throughout the Midwest with a combination of Company-owned stores and new franchisees. 2012 will be the strongest year yet for Diversified Restaurant Holdings."
