$7.50 $8.00 - Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of

Chili's
- Chili's Company sales increased primarily due to favorable comparable restaurant sales driven by higher traffic, favorable menu item mix and menu pricing.
- Chili's Company restaurant expenses, as a percentage of Company sales, decreased primarily due to sales leverage, partially offset by higher hourly labor, repairs and maintenance, higher manager salaries and bonus, and unfavorable commodity costs.
- Chili's franchisees generated sales of approximately
$232.3 million $216.9 million
Maggiano's
- Maggiano's Company sales increased primarily due to favorable comparable restaurant sales driven by menu pricing, partially offset by lower traffic.
- Maggiano's Company restaurant expenses, as a percentage of Company sales, increased slightly primarily due to higher advertising, management salary, repairs and maintenance, and unfavorable commodity costs, offset by sales leverage and lower hourly labor.
Corporate

Restaurant operating margin is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of financial performance. Restaurant operating margin is widely regarded in the restaurant industry as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance of ongoing restaurant-level operations. This non-GAAP measure is not indicative of overall Company performance and profitability because this measure does not directly accrue benefit to the shareholders due to the nature of costs excluded.
We define Restaurant operating margin as Company sales less Food and beverage costs, Restaurant labor and Restaurant expenses. We believe this metric provides a more useful comparison between periods and enables investors to focus on the performance of restaurant-level operations by excluding revenues not related to food and beverage sales at Company-owned restaurants, corporate General and administrative expenses, Depreciation and amortization, and Other (gains) and charges. Restaurant operating margin as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry.
Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (in millions)
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of financial performance. Brinker believes presenting Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful measure of our operating performance, excluding the impacts of financing costs, capital expenditures and special items. We define Adjusted EBITDA as Net income before Provision for income taxes, Other income, net, Interest expenses, Depreciation and amortization and Other (gains) and charges.
