CINCINNATI, July 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Frisch's Restaurants, Inc. (NYSE MKT: FRS) reported revenue from continuing operations of $203,712,158 for the fiscal year ended May 28, 2013, with those revenues declining 0.7 percent from $205,082,827 in the prior year. Earnings from continuing operations for the year increased 20.2 percent to $6,974,101 ($1.38 diluted earnings per share) compared to $5,801,540 ($1.17 diluted earnings per share) last year.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, revenue from continuing operations increased 2.7 percent to $48,792,356 versus $47,499,363 in the prior year. Earnings from continuing operations increased 44.7 percent in the fourth quarter to $2,267,875 ($0.45 diluted earnings per share) compared to $1,567,470 ($0.31 diluted earnings per share) in the prior year. Same store sales from continuing operations were up 1.0 percent in the fourth quarter fiscal 2013 while overall sales increased 2.7 percent as a result of new restaurant openings. Gross profit margin from continuing operations in the fourth quarter improved over the prior year, as a result of higher volumes and cost management. Administrative and advertising expense decreased 2.8 percent in fourth quarter fiscal 2013 primarily as a result of lower head count.
Craig F. Maier, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We wrapped up 2013 on a strong note as fourth quarter revenue was up 2.7 percent while fourth quarter earnings were up 44.7 percent. The combination of solid sales and good cost control measures drove the earnings increase."
