CALABASAS HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated (NASDAQ: CAKE) today reported
financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, which ended on

income and diluted net income per share were $16.2 million and $0.35,

The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $15.0 million during the fourth

Comparable restaurant sales at The Cheesecake Factory restaurants
increased 1.9% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.
“Our key financial metrics, including Cheesecake Factory comparable
restaurant sales, adjusted operating margin and adjusted earnings per
share, met or exceeded our expectations during the fourth quarter,” said
David Overton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Solid operational
execution, illustrated by year-over-year increases in labor productivity
and food efficiencies, contributed to these results.”
Overton continued, “We are also honored to be recognized as one of the

This accolade is a testament to our strong culture, industry-leading
training and tangible career advancement we provide for our staff
members and managers. We believe these attributes will continue to
differentiate us as an employer of choice, a position that is even more
critical today to support continued success in the restaurant industry.”
Overton concluded, “During fiscal 2018, we generated over $290 million
in operating cash flow, which coupled with our strong balance sheet,
enables us to make investments to support the Company’s growth
trajectory, while continuing to return meaningful capital to our
shareholders via our dividend and share repurchase program.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Results to GAAP Results
In addition to the results provided in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)
in this press release, the Company is providing non-GAAP measurements
which present net income and diluted net income per share excluding the
impact of certain items. The non-GAAP measurements are intended to
supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results in
accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that the presentation of
these items provides additional information to facilitate the comparison
of past and present financial results.
