Dated: May 10, 2006 SHELLS SEAFOOD RESTAURANTS, INC. By: /s/ Warren R. Nelson ---------------------------- Warren R. Nelson Executive Vice President and CFO Exhibit 99.1 Shells Seafood Restaurants, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2006 Earnings; Same Store Sales Increase 7.1%; Sixth Consecutive Quarterly Increase Business Editors TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 4, 2006--Shells Seafood Restaurants, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:SHLL) today reported financial results for its first quarter ended April 2, 2006. Key metrics for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 were: -- Revenues increased 16.4% to $14.6 million. -- Comparable restaurant sales increased 7.1%. -- Sixth consecutive quarterly increase. -- Comparable restaurant sales in the 16 remodeled restaurants increased 9.4%, compared to a decrease of 1.3% for the four non-remodeled restaurants. -- The Lent season and Easter holiday occurred three weeks later this year than in fiscal 2005, which had an estimated unfavorable impact of 1.1% on first quarter 2006 comparable restaurant sales. -- Net income of $0.3 million, compared to $0.4 million. -- Diluted earnings per share of $0.01, compared to $0.03. "Guests are impressed with the new Shells, and our sales momentum is strong," said President & CEO Leslie Christon, noting that guest satisfaction ratings for the quarter reached an all-time high. "With nearly all company-owned restaurants now remodeled using our bright new look; the challenge is to attract more new guests to experience what our regulars have been excited about. The investments to reenergize our concept have been significant, and while we're making steady progress, we've still got much work ahead to realize our objectives." First Quarter 2006 Results Revenues for the first quarter of 2006 increased 16.4% to $14.6 million from $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2005, partly due to a 7.1% increase in same store sales. The Company also benefited from a stronger mix of operating restaurants in the first quarter of 2006 versus the same period last year, having opened two new restaurants, relocated one restaurant, closed an underperforming restaurant and terminated the operations of a licensed restaurant. As of the end of the first quarter of 2006, the Company had 25 restaurants in operation compared to 26 units a year-ago. Restaurant operating costs, consisting of food and beverage costs, labor and other operating costs, were $12.4 million, or 85.5% of sales, in the first quarter of 2006, compared to $10.4 million, or 83.6% of sales, in the first quarter of 2005. Food and beverage costs improved 0.9% as a percentage of sales compared to the prior year, because of higher menu pricing implemented to offset the effect of the Florida minimum wage increases, an improvement in liquor mix, and gains derived from better operational controls over food and beverage costs. Labor costs rose 0.6% as a percentage of sales compared to the prior year, mostly due to additional training costs, as well as, the effect of the Florida minimum wage increases on hourly labor. Other operating costs were negatively affected by increased utilities, insurance and occupancy costs, resulting in a 2.2% increase as a percentage of sales, compared to the prior year. "During the first quarter, the benefits of positive same store sales momentum were offset by the margin pressure we faced, which hampered our efforts to improve earnings," Christon said. "For the balance of the year, we will stay vigilant in controlling our operating costs, while enhancing the guest experience." General & administrative expenses were $1.2 million, or 8.1% of revenues, in the first quarter of 2006 compared to $0.9 million, or 7.3% of revenues, in the first quarter of 2005. The Company increased its resources for recruiting and training in the first quarter of 2006 in comparison to the same period last year. Depreciation expense increased $0.2 million, or 0.6% as a percentage of revenues, as compared to the prior year due to additional restaurant remodels and new and relocated restaurants. New restaurant pre-opening expense in the first quarter last year totaled $0.3 million, or 2.4% of revenues, compared to no pre-opening expense in the first quarter of 2006. Net interest expense in the first quarter of 2006 was $0.1 million, or 0.5% of revenues, compared to net interest expense in the first quarter of 2005 of $0.2 million, or 1.3% of revenues. Including non-recurring items as summarized in the ensuing financial tables, net income for the first quarter of 2006 was $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share based upon 26.5 million diluted common shares outstanding, compared to net income in the first quarter of 2005 of $0.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share based upon 15.6 million diluted common shares outstanding. The increase in common shares outstanding is due to the securities issued in the Company's May 2005 private placement financing transaction.
