		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[We remain Neutral on McDonald&#8217;s Corp. (MCD) with solid comparable sales (comps) momentum, expansion and accelerated remodeling on the one side, and commodity inflation, increased selling, general and administrative expenses as well as the expected currency headwinds for 2012 on the other. The Oak Brook, Illinois-based company continues to deliver solid comps on the heels of product innovation, along with value menu offerings, McCafe premium beverages and a variety of core items. In the first nine months of the year, the company’s breakfast sales have grown 5.1%. Internationally, McCafe is focused on hot beverages at present. Also, the company has identified a number of markets to test or add Real Fruit Smoothies and Frappes over the next few years, starting with Australia. McDonald’s plans to spend $2.9 billion in 2012, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The restaurant industry is showing improvements and seems poised for long-term growth, but concerns about the health of the U.S. economy and the nagging sovereign debt issues in Europe pose some risks to this outlook. 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. The Current Situation Index, which measures comparable-store ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview 10/14/11 While the earnings season kicked off this past week, only 38 firms reported. The game really gets under way next week, when we will get reports from 336 firms, including 99 members of the S&#38;P 500. Thus, by the end of the week we will have a very good idea of how the overall season will go. Not only will there be a lot of reports, but many of those we get will be very important ones. The table at the end of this report reads like a who’s who of American industry, including: Apple (AAPL), American Express (AXP), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), General Electric (GE), Goldman Sachs (GS), IBM (IBM), Intel (INTC) and McDonald’s (MCD). And that&#8217;s just the first half of the alphabet! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Colorado-based Red Robin Gourmet Burgers Inc. (RRGB), which currently operates more than 450 restaurants across the United States and Canada, is set to open a new restaurant in Baltimore, Maryland on October 10, 2011. The new restaurant will come up at 8200 Perry Hall Blvd, in the White Marsh Mall. The White Marsh Mall is one of the largest malls in the Baltimore area, with 5 anchor stores and 142 specialty shops. Given the strategic location of this new restaurant, we believe it will drive significant growth in the coming days. Apart from its popular offering of gourmet burgers, entrees, salads and beverages, the menu will offer an interesting variety for children. Apart from Red Robin, other major restaurant operators including Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc (BWLD), The Wendy’s Company (WEN) ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Cheesecake Factory Inc. (CAKE), which currently operates 168 restaurants, recently announced the opening of a new unit in San Mateo, California. This is the fifth of the company’s targeted 7 new openings for fiscal 2011. The other restaurants have already opened in Texas, New Jersey, Florida and Connecticut. The newly opened restaurant spans approximately 8,500 square feet and accommodates around 251 guests. It is located in the Hillsdale Shopping Center, which hosts over 130 stores and is anchored by three department stores (Nordstrom Inc. (JWN), Macy’s Inc (M) and Sears). We expect the restaurant to benefit immensely from its strategic positioning. We also expect a great variety of menu offering at the new unit to attract guests.

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.

There will be 348 firms reporting, and 108 of those are in the S&#38;P 500. By next Friday we should have a very good handle on how the overall earnings season will go. The firms reporting this week are sort of like a who&#8217;s who of U.S. industry including: Apple (AAPL), American Express (AXP), Bank of America (BAC), Caterpillar (CAT), General Electric (GE), International Business Machines (IBM), Intel (INTC), McDonald&#8217;s (MCD), Schlumberger (SLB) and Verizon (VZ). That is an interesting cross section of U.S. business.

		<description><![CDATA[McDonald&#8217;s Corp. (MCD) posted global comparable sales growth of 5.3% in January, on the heels of strong sales of beverage and core menu products. Comparable sales growth stepped up from 2.6% in January 2010. The fast-food restaurant operator witnessed an uptrend across its domestic and international markets on a year-over-year basis. Geographically however, Europe was the major contributor to the month’s growth followed by Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa (APMEA) region and the United States. Comparable sales in the United States climbed to 3.1% from a decline of 0.7% in January 2010 driven by the sale of Chicken McNuggets and hot McCafe premium beverages partially offset by a severe winter. However, performance of the McCafe beverage line launched last year continues to surpass all sales targets despite a severe winter. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The restaurant industry finally appears well positioned for gradual improvement in the first half of 2011. The industry had been depressed by extremely tough challenges since the end of 2009 from the economic turmoil that resulted in weak labor and tight credit markets, resulting in lower discretionary spending. Riding on the back of a slowly reviving U.S. economy and the consequent rise in comparable-store sales, restaurant operators posted improved results in the recent months. We expect restaurant companies to continue delivering better numbers in the upcoming quarters. Encouraging guidance delivered by most of the companies also indicate a return to positive comps. A recent survey by the National Restaurant Association revealed that the Restaurant Performance Index, measuring the health and outlook for the U.S. restaurant industry, was 99.9 in November, ]]></description>

The fast-food restaurant operator witnessed an uptrend across its domestic and international markets on a year-over-year basis.

		<description><![CDATA[Caribou Coffee Company Inc. (CBOU), the second largest company-owned premium coffeehouse operator in the United States, posted third quarter 2010 earnings of 8 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. The third quarter earnings also surpassed the year-ago quarter’s 3 cents. The better-than expected results were driven by double-digit growth in top line and higher margin. Caribou Coffee’s net sales in the reported quarter climbed 11.8% to $70.2 million and also outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $67.0 million. The top line was driven by a strong growth across all the three lines of business. Coffeehouse sales rose 3.9% year over year to $56.6 million, as comparable-store sales jumped 4.4%, resulting from a higher traffic and rise in average guest check. Commercial sales leaped 71.6% to ]]></description>

Wendy’s/Arby’s had posted 3 cents a share in the year-earlier quarter. Sales deleverage coupled with higher commodity costs led to the decline in earnings. Total revenue in the quarter under review tumbled 4.7% year over year to $861.2 million. Sales from company-operated restaurants dropped 5.0% to $766.0 million and franchise revenue dipped 2.1% to $95.2 million. Revenues were hurt by sluggish sales both at Wendy’s and Arby&#8217;s restaurants. Adjusted EBITDA also plunged 19.6% to $100.0 million. Wendy’s Operating Highlights Wendy’s total revenue in the quarter dropped 2.1% year over year to $600.7 million mainly due to the decline in company-operated restaurants (down 2.3%) and almost flat performance ]]></description>

(CAKE) announced that it had opened a Cheesecake Factory restaurant at the Bridgewater Commons in Bridgewater, New Jersey on August 23. The new 8,500 square feet Bridgewater restaurant can accommodate 225 guests. This is the third and last unit opening for this year. In the first quarter of 2010, the company opened two restaurants in Tucson, Arizona and Newark, Delaware. Cheesecake’s restaurants are primarily located in or near malls and shopping centers. Hence, during the economic downturn, a decline in customer visit to malls negatively affected restaurant usage and same-store sales. Cheesecake is planning expansion activities for the upcoming years despite a challenging macroeconomic environment. Beyond 2010, the company remains optimistic about unit developments with recent availability of high-quality restaurant sites. Apart from malls, these sites ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated (CAKE) recently reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter 2009 results on the heels of effective cost management. Cost savings of over $7 million were realized during the quarter. The quarterly earnings of 28 cents a share outstripped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 24 cents and surged 86.7% from 15 cents delivered in the prior-year quarter. The boost was helped by a 5.7% drop in cost of sales, a 3.3% slide in labor expenses, and a 2.1% dip in other operating costs and expenses. Management now expects first-quarter 2010 earnings between 23 cents and 25 cents a share. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the first quarter is 23 cents.
