Maple Street Biscuit Company
In October 2019, the Company acquired the award-winning fast casual concept Maple Street Biscuit Company (“Maple Street”) in an all-cash transaction for $36 million. At the time of the acquisition, Maple Street had 28 company-owned locations. The Company subsequently converted its Holler & Dash units into Maple Street locations, and Maple Street also opened one additional location in fiscal 2020, bringing the total number of company-owned units in operation to 35.
Fiscal 2021 Outlook
As a result of the pandemic, the sales performance of the Company’s stores varies significantly and is heavily influenced by factors outside the Company’s control, including, but not limited to, capacity restrictions, jurisdictional regulations, and the extent that the local economy has reopened. The Company anticipates these circumstances will continue for the foreseeable future and due to this uncertainty is not providing its customary annual guidance.
Through the first six weeks of the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2021, comparable store restaurant sales decreased approximately 20% and comparable store retail sales decreased approximately 15% when compared to the comparable period in 2019.
In fiscal 2021, the Company anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $100 million, and it expects to open three new Cracker Barrel stores and up to 15 new Maple Street units.

CRACKER BARREL OLD COUNTRY STORE, INC.
Reconciliation of GAAP-basis operating results to non-GAAP operating results
(Unaudited)
In the accompanying press release, the Company makes reference to its full year and fourth quarter 2020 adjusted operating income and earnings per share. This reconciliation excludes the gain on sale of assets from the sale-leaseback transaction which occurred in the fourth quarter as well as the fees related to the two sale-leaseback transactions described above, non-cash impairment charges related to store assets, and the related tax impacts of these items. Additionally, the full-year adjusted operating income and earnings per share also exclude the following items that occurred in the third quarter: non-cash asset impairment charges related to store assets, expenses related to COVID-19, an impairment charge related to its equity investment in Punch Bowl Social, and the related tax impacts of these items. The Company believes excluding these items from its financial results provides investors with an enhanced understanding of the Company’s financial results. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or earnings per share information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
