HOUSTON, April 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Luby's, Inc. (NYSE:LUB) ("Luby's") which is in the process of monetizing its assets for the benefit of its shareholders, announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended March 9, 2022.

Financial Results

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

As a result of Luby's shareholder approval of its plan of liquidation on November 17, 2020, effective November 19, 2020, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company began reporting its financial results on the liquidation basis of accounting. The liquidation basis of accounting requires, among other things, that management estimates net sales proceeds on an undiscounted basis, as well as include in the Company's assets and liabilities the undiscounted estimate of future revenues and expenses through the end of the liquidation. Based on the liquidation basis of accounting, the net assets in liquidation at March 9, 2022 are currently estimated to result in future aggregate liquidating distributions of $2.89 per common share based on the number of common shares outstanding on that date. This represents no change from our last reported estimate at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2022. After giving effect to the $0.50 per common share distribution paid on March 28, 2022, the net assets in liquidation are currently estimated to result in remaining future aggregate liquidating distributions of $2.39 per common share. This estimate of future liquidating distributions includes projections of sales proceeds and net operating revenues to be received and costs and expenses to be incurred, including costs to dispose of the Company's assets to complete the plan of liquidation, including costs of any transfers to a liquidating entity at that time.

There is inherent uncertainty with these projections, and accordingly, these projections could change materially based on a number of factors both within and outside of Luby's control. There can be no assurance that these estimated values will be realized. Such amounts should not be taken as an indication of the timing or the amount of future distributions or our actual dissolution.

The current estimate of net assets in liquidation at March 9, 2022 has been estimated based on undiscounted cash flow projections and assumes a final liquidation of the Company on June 30, 2022, with any remaining assets and liabilities being transferred to a liquidating entity at that time, even though the actual timing of the sale of the Company's remaining operating locations and real estate holdings cannot be determined with any specificity at this time. As such, the final liquidation of the Company and it's monetization of it's remaining assets while in a liquidating entity is subject to future events and uncertainties. Liabilities are carried at their contractual amounts due as adjusted for the impact of timing of the planned liquidation. It is not possible to predict with certainty the timing or aggregate amount which may ultimately be distributed to our shareholders and no assurance can be given that the distributions will equal or exceed the estimate presented in this release.

Asset Sales

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company sold 4 real estate assets for total gross proceeds of approximately $10.3 million.

Subsequent to the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company sold the Culinary Contract Services business.

The Company currently owns 18 real estate assets, of which 6 are operating locations and 12 are vacant. The Company currently has 10 Luby's Cafeterias and two Fuddruckers (including 1 combo unit) which are managed by third parties as the Company pursues disposition options for owned properties and leases.

Distributions

On March 28, 2022, the Company paid a cash liquidating distribution of $15.5 million, or $0.50 per common share, to stockholders of record as of March 21, 2022.
