    CONCLUSION

    The company delivered 2Q14 operating earnings of $0.20 per share, which was in-linewith our $0.20 estimate and below consensus of $0.22. Results were driven by same-store

    sales of (6.0%) at Bravo and (4.5%) at Brio. During the third quarter we understand

    trends are running in a range similar to that of 2Q. We are maintaining our Neutral

    rating and price target on BBRG shares based on 16x (unchanged vs. prior) our updated

    FY15E EPS, which takes into account recent results, current trends, and the company's

    updated guidance.

    Second-quarter operating results below consensus expectations & in-line with PJCestimate: Second-quarter operating earnings were $0.20 per share, in-line with our

    estimate and below the street at $0.22. Total revenues were down approximately

    (1.1%) y/y to $104.5M, based partially on same-store sales of (6.0%) at Bravo

    (versus our (5.0%) projection) and (4.5%) at Brio (versus our (5.0%) projection). The

    company opened one new Bravo during the quarter, in line with our expectation. Webelieve Brio and Bravo same-store sales reflect approximately (0.8%) price/mix and

    (3.7%) traffic at Brio and +3.0% price/mix and (9.0%) traffic at Bravo. See page two

    for a chart comparing the variance of actual results to our estimates.

    Ongoing focus on shareholder returns in place; FY14 unit growth maintained at 6units:The company's previously announced priorities of slowing FY14 unit growth

    were maintained with updated guidance calling for 6 new units unchanged vs. prior.

    The company repurchased approximately $2.4M in shares during the quarter and

    thus has approximately $8.5M remaining on its authorization. Although not reflected

    in our current estimates, for perspective we note the remaining authorization could

    potentially equate to approximately $0.01 in incremental EPS on our current FY14

    estimates and approximately $0.02 on FY15 EPS estimates (assuming even execution

    across FY14 and at today's closing price of $14.90).

    Updating FY14 & FY15 estimates:We are updating our FY14 and FY15 estimates. ForFY14, we expect total revenues of $407.3M (vs. $417.9M prior), reflecting our (4.0%)

    Brio same-store sales projection (vs. (2.4%) prior) and our (5.1%) Bravo same-store

    sales projection (unchanged vs. (2.6%) prior). Our FY14 EPS estimate ticks down to

    $0.71 (from $0.78 prior) on the company's updated expectations for FY14. We expect 2

    new unit openings at Brio (unchanged vs. prior) and 4 new Bravo in FY14 (unchanged

    vs. prior). For FY15, we are updating our EPS estimate to $0.78 (from $0.84 prior),

    which is based partially on our expectation for same-store sales of (3.0%) at Brio and

    (4.0%) at Bravo (vs. our prior expectations of flat).

    RISKS TO ACHIEVEMENT OF PRI CE TARGET

    Risks include attractive valuation (buyout perspective), comp improvement and leverage.
