- General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue improved to 10.1% from 12.8% in the comparable quarter last year
- Company has reduced G&A levels by 50% during past 2 years as a result of integration and efficiency initiatives - lowest level in company history.
- Sequential G&A reduction of approximately 21% from Q1 17 - Operating loss from continuing operations was $1.1 million ($0.4 million excluding non-cash asset impairment charge) compared to $0.4 million in the comparable quarter last year.
- Net loss attributable to Common Shareholders was $1.4 million, ($0.58) per share, compared to $5.0 million, ($2.35) per share in the comparable quarter last year.
- Sequential improvement from $1.7million, ($0.80) per share in Q1 17. - Restaurant EBITDA was $1.2 million compared to $1.4 million for the comparable quarter of last year.
- Sequential improvement of 31% from $0.9 million Q1 17. - Adjusted EBITDA was $246 thousand compared to $195 thousand in the comparable quarter last year.
- Sequential improvement from negative $0.3 million in Q1 17 to positive $0.2 million - During the quarter, the Company opened two new Little Big Burger stores in Oregon, one new BGR location in Virginia, and expects to open a total of 8 to 12 new stores during 2017.
- The Company also announced the completion of a new $6 million financing with certain strategic investors, two of whom are partnering with the Company for the continued roll out of Little Big Burger restaurants via joint ventures and franchising. $5 million of proceeds was used to pay off, in full, the Florida Mezzanine note payable.
Mike Pruitt, Chairman and CEO of Chanticleer commented, "We are continuing to accelerate growth of our Little Big Burger Concept. Store revenue improved sequentially from the first quarter, but were down as compared to prior year periods as we saw softer traffic particularly in our East Coast locations this spring as compared to last spring. Our new Little Big Burger restaurants opened this year are generating above average sales and outperforming our expectations, which bodes well for continued growth of the brand as we enter new markets."
"The refinancing our debt in May provides a better foundation on which to drive growth going forward and we are evaluating several initiatives to further enhance cash flow, reduce debt levels and improve the Company's financial position in the second half. Those initiatives include closing underperforming stores and exploring the sale of non-core assets to drive cash flow and better position the Company for future growth in the US better burger market."
"We are excited for the growth potential of the Little Big Burger Brand and remain on track to open 8-12 new company and franchise stores this year and expect to see meaningful improvement in consolidated EBITDA levels in the second half of the year."

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses information regarding Adjusted EBITDA and Restaurant EBITDA, which differ from the term EBITDA as it is commonly used. In addition to adjusting net income (loss) from continuing operations to exclude taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization, Adjusted EBITDA also excludes pre-opening and closing costs for our restaurants, non-cash expenses, transaction and severance related expenses, change in fair value of derivative liability and other income and expenses.
In addition, Restaurant EBITDA also excludes management fee income, franchise revenue and general and administrative expenses. Adjusted EBITDA and restaurant EBITDA are not measures of performance defined in accordance with GAAP. However, adjusted EBITDA and restaurant EBITDA are used internally in planning and evaluating the company's operating performance and by the Company's creditors. Accordingly, management believes that disclosure of these metrics offers investors, bankers and other stakeholders an additional view of the company's operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of the Company's financial results.
Adjusted EBITDA and Restaurant EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net loss or to net cash used in operating activities as a measure of operating results or of liquidity. It may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, and it excludes financial information that some may consider important in evaluating the company's performance. A reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and Restaurant EBITDA is included in the accompanying financial schedules.
For further information, please refer to Chanticleer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed with the SEC on or about August 14, 2017, available online at www.sec.gov.
