Bravo Brio 4Q net income drops on impairment charges

Same-store sales also fall at Bravo! Cucina Italiana, Brio Tuscan Grille

Heavy asset impairment charges and comparisons to a 53-week operating year in 2013 drove down Bravo Brio Restaurant Group Inc.’s net income in the fourth quarter and full year. Nonetheless, leaders of the Columbus, Ohio-based casual-dining operator reported optimism for several initiatives in 2014.

The 108-unit chain managed to grow full-year revenue 0.5 percent, to $411.1 million. Chief executive Saed Mohseni said in a statement that a successful holiday promotion in December raised profit margins and average check to help the company reach the higher end of its previous guidance for quarterly adjusted profit.
