Luby’s president and CEO Chris Pappas said: “We are not pleased with our shareholder value, same-store sales, guest traffic results, or corporate overhead. The Special Committee of the Board continues its focus on developing shareholder value initiatives. Operationally, we made strategic personnel changes in fiscal 2019, including appointment of a new chief operating officer, VP of Marketing, and VP of Information Technology.

“Already in fiscal 2020, we have realised improved guest traffic and sales trends. Additionally, we are transitioning portions of our accounting, payroll, operational reporting, and other back-office functions to a leading multi-unit restaurant outsourcing firm. We anticipate completing the transition in the first calendar quarter of 2020 and expect to realise additional cost savings and enhanced capabilities from this transition.”

During the fourth quarter, net loss was $9.1m compared to $1.9m in the previous year, with same-store sales decreasing by 3.7% and total sales decreasing by 14.9% to $71.4m.
