EPL Intermediate, Inc. (El Pollo Loco) Announces Results for the 13 Weeks and 26 Weeks Ended June 30, 2009

El Pollo Loco reported operating revenue for the 13-week second quarter ended June 30, 2009 of $72.7 million, which is a decrease of $3.7 million, or 4.9%, below operating revenue for the 13-week quarter ended June 30, 2008 of $76.4 million. Operating revenue includes sales at company-operated stores and franchise revenue. The decrease in company-operated restaurant revenue was primarily attributed to a 7.0% decrease in company-operated same-store sales for the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008 and lost sales of $0.5 million from the closure of three company-operated restaurants in 2008. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in restaurant revenue of $1.8 million from nine restaurants opened in 2008 and by $0.6 million generated from two restaurants opened in 2009.
