		<description><![CDATA[The restaurant industry appears well positioned for gradual improvement in the first half of 2012. The global economy had been affected by challenges mainly in the second half of 2011 due to concerns about the nagging sovereign debt issues in Europe and the health of the U.S. economy. While these remain issues, the outlook for the U.S. economy has significantly improved lately. But despite these odds, restaurant operators have managed to post improved results in the last few months on the back of modest traffic improvement and the consequent rise in comparable store sales. Easy comparisons from the prior year placed performance of 2011 in a brighter light. Encouraging guidance delivered by most of the companies also indicate a return to solid comps. With some expected turnaround in Greece&#8217;s debt ]]></description>

Fund from operations, a widely used metric to gauge the performance of REITs, is obtained after adding depreciation and amortization and other non-cash expenses to net income. Excluding non-recurring items totaling $24.7 million primarily related to non-cash impairment charges, FFO in the fourth quarter of 2011 was $72.1 million or 26 cents per share. The recurring FFO was in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate.

		<description><![CDATA[The Thanksgiving weekend brought record sales for retailers who went on to post better-than-expected November comparable-store sales and are now padding up for the holiday season. Does this indicate that the retail party has just begun? Early hours store openings, huge discounts, promotional activities and free shipping on online purchases were enough to lure customers on Black Friday that turned out to be a bonanza for both brick-and-mortar as well as e-commerce retailers. The data released by Swampscott, Massachusetts-based Retail Metrics, reveals that comparable-store sales of over 20 companies rose 3.2% beating the expectation of 3.1%. The data provider further added that 57% of retailers outpaced while 33% missed their expectations. Yes, there were retailers that stuck to old traditions and were not bold to think out of the box. ]]></description>

However, if we look back at the last few months, restaurant operators managed to post improved results riding on the back of modest traffic improvement and the consequent rise in comparable-store sales. A recent survey by the National Restaurant Association revealed that the Restaurant Performance Index (RPI), measuring the health and outlook on the U.S. restaurant industry, was 100.1 in September, up 0.7% from August. It was the highest level since June. The RPI run-rate in the last three months connotes improvements in same-store sales and customer traffic.

		<description><![CDATA[A Glimpse at Fiscal 2010 Fiscal 2010 for retailers was a year of continuous process of streamlining and assimilating internal processes. With this priority in mind, retailers concentrated more on aligning inventories, improving efficiencies and spending on technology, which led them to enter fiscal 2011 with a more optimistic outlook. The Challenges and Opportunities of 2011 The retail industry is well positioned to face another year of challenges and utilize to the fullest the opportunities made available by the economic recovery, even as the quality and pace of the recovery has left much to be desired. Despite continued problems, consumers are slowly gaining confidence in the market and increasing their spending power, which is helping retail sales show signs of recovery.

		<description><![CDATA[The restaurant industry is finally showing improvements and seems poised for long-term growth. Riding on the back of a slowly reviving U.S. economy and the consequent rise in comparable-store sales, restaurant operators have managed to post improved results in recent months. We expect restaurant companies to continue delivering better numbers in the upcoming quarter over the year-earlier period. In second quarter 2011, most big names in the industry outperformed the Zacks Consensus estimates. More good news came from the NPD foodservice market research report, which stated that annual visits to restaurants are expected to increase by 8% over the next ten years. A recent survey by the National Restaurant Association revealed that the Restaurant Performance Index (RPI), measuring the health and outlook on the U.S. restaurant industry, was 99.9 in ]]></description>

Earlier, Toys ‘R’ Us had reported fiscal 2011 first quarter loss of $67 million compared to a loss of $55 million in the year-earlier quarter. The increase in quarterly loss was primarily driven by higher operating expenses and lower same-store sales, partially offset by an increase in net sales driven by positive contributions from new locations and a foreign-currency benefit.

		<description><![CDATA[The restaurant industry finally seems ready to show improvements in the second half of 2011. Riding on the back of a slowly reviving U.S. economy and the consequent rise in comparable-store sales, restaurant operators have managed to post improved results in recent months. We expect restaurant companies to continue delivering better numbers in the upcoming quarter over the year-earlier period. A recent survey by the National Restaurant Association revealed that the Restaurant Performance Index (RPI), measuring the health and outlook on the U.S. restaurant industry, was 100.7 in February, up 0.4% from January. The RPI gain in February connotes improvements in same-store sales and customer traffic. The Current Situation Index, which measures comparable-store sales, traffic counts, labor costs and capital expenditures in the restaurant industry, was 99.4 in February, up ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Insight from Fiscal 2010 Fiscal 2010 was a year of hard work, involving the continuous streamlining of internal processes. To that end, retailers concentrated on aligning inventories with sales, improving operating efficiencies and spending on technology. These focused efforts helped retailers enter fiscal 2011 with a more optimistic outlook. Foresight for Fiscal 2011 While challenges no doubt still abound, retailers appear to be in a good position to take advantage of a much improved economy. Retailers are now hoping to focus more on bringing new concepts to stores and luring customers by the age-old marketing ploy of replacing customer needs by wants. On the operational front, retailers would like to hone their supply chains and maintain lean inventory levels.
