Dow Jones Description

We are one of the largest casual dining restaurant companies in the world, with six restaurant concepts, more than 1,475 system-wide restaurants and 2008 annual revenues for Company-owned restaurants exceeding $3.9 billion. We operate in 49 states and in 20 countries internationally, predominantly through Company-owned restaurants, but we also operate under a variety of partnerships and franchises. Our primary concepts include Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill and Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar. Our other non-core concepts include Roy's and Cheeseburger in Paradise. In May 2009, we executed a letter of intent to sell our Cheeseburger in Paradise concept for $2,000,000 to an entity to be formed and controlled by the president of the concept. Our long-range plan is to exit our Roy's concept, but we do not have an established timeframe within which this will occur. Our primary focus as a company of restaurants is to provide a quality product together with quality service across all of our brands. This goal entails offering consumers of different demographic backgrounds an array of dining alternatives suited for differing needs. Our sales are primarily generated through a diverse customer base, which includes people eating in our restaurants as regular patrons who return for meals several times a week or on special occasions such as birthday parties, private events and for business entertainment. ...
