CALABASAS HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 22, 2017--
The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated (NASDAQ: CAKE) today reported
financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, which ended on
January 3, 2017.
Total revenues were $603.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016
as compared to $526.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. The
fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 included 14 weeks compared to 13 weeks in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015; the additional week in fiscal 2016
contributed approximately $54.7 million of sales. Net income and diluted
net income per share were $32.4 million and $0.66, respectively, in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.
The Company recorded a pre-tax, non-cash charge of $0.1 million during
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 related to the planned relocation of
one The Cheesecake Factory restaurant. Excluding this item, net income
and diluted net income per share were $32.4 million and $0.67,
respectively.
Comparable restaurant sales at The Cheesecake Factory restaurants
increased 1.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 (14 weeks vs. 14
weeks).
“We delivered our 28th consecutive quarter of positive
comparable sales, marking seven years of strong financial performance
and meaningful shareholder value creation,” said David Overton, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer. “We significantly outperformed the casual
dining industry again during the fourth quarter as we continued to take
market share.”
Overton concluded, “We delivered on all of our objectives in 2016,
including producing solid comparable sales performance, achieving our
domestic unit growth goal, expanding our international presence to a
total of 15 locations and increasing operating margins, all of which
contributed to approximately 20% earnings per share growth. By
maintaining our differentiated positioning and commitment to operational
excellence, we believe we will uphold our leadership position in the
casual dining industry in 2017 and beyond.”

The Company opened five The Cheesecake Factory restaurants and one Grand
Lux Cafe during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, meeting its objective

fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, including the first location in Qatar and
the third location in Mexico, for a total of four locations opened under
