Pizza Inn Holdings, Inc. today announced results for the fourth fiscal quarter and year ended June 29, 2014. The Company's net loss in the fourth quarter improved by $0.3 million over the comparable period in the prior fiscal year to $0.4 million from a loss of $0.7 million. Conversely, the Company's net loss for the 2014 fiscal year increased $0.3 million to $1.6 million compared to a net loss of $1.3 million in the prior fiscal year. The increase in net loss from prior year was primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses and franchise costs attributable to growth of the Pie Five brand, as well as lower food and supply sales. The fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year 2014 had 13 and 52 weeks, respectively, as compared to 14 and 53 weeks, respectively, in the same periods of the prior fiscal year.
"Fiscal 2014 was an investment year as we continued to build the talent and infrastructure to effectively grow both of our restaurant brands. That investment is reflected in the losses recorded for the last several quarters," said Randy Gier, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are very pleased to see the improving financial performance each of the last three quarters, and especially pleased with the most recent quarter results which we believe reflect our turning the corner on this investment of resources. Both of our brands recorded strong positive comparable store sales growth for the fourth quarter, a trend that has continued in the first quarter of fiscal 2015," added Gier.
