(1) Total revenues primarily include retail sales at Company-owned stores, royalties from franchise stores, and related sales from distribution operations, which sell food and equipment to all Company-owned stores and certain franchise stores. Company-owned store and franchise store revenues may vary significantly from period to period due to changes in store count mix, while distribution revenues may vary significantly as a result of fluctuations in food prices, primarily cheese prices.

 

The increases in third quarter and year-to-date total revenues versus the prior year periods were due primarily to increases in domestic Company-owned store revenues, which were driven by higher same store sales, and increases in distribution volumes which were driven by increases in domestic franchise retail sales, offset in part by lower cheese costs. The published cheese block price-per-pound averaged $1.48 and $1.51 in the third quarter and first three quarters of 2005, respectively, down from $1.60 and $1.65 in the comparable periods of 2004. Total revenues were also positively impacted by increases in revenues from international operations, primarily as a result of higher same store sales and store counts.
