2. Missed revenue estimates. The company saw revenue figures of $490.2 million, missing our estimate of $509 million despite increasing 19.9%.

3. Reported company-owned restaurant sales increased 21.3% to $466.4 million and net earnings increased 24.4% to $25.3 million.

4. Sally Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our 2015 same-store sales increased 4.2% at company-owned restaurants and 2.5% at franchised locations. Same-store sales growth in the fourth quarter of 1.9% at company-owned restaurants and 0.1% at franchised locations did not meet our expectations, although they continued to outpace the casual dining industry. We estimate the holiday shifts for Halloween and Christmas negatively impacted fourth quarter same-store sales by 30 basis points.”
