OSI Restaurant Partners, Inc. Delays Release of Third Quarter Results
October 25 2006 - 6:11PM
PR Newswire (US)
TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- OSI Restaurant
Partners, Inc. (NYSE:OSI) today announced that it is delaying its
third quarter earnings release because it has preliminarily
determined that its liability for unearned revenue for unredeemed
gift cards and certificates as of September 30, 2006 is understated
by an estimated $20,000,000 to $40,000,000. The Company is
currently reviewing its unearned revenue account and believes the
understatement of this liability is an accumulation of amounts for
all periods within which gift cards and certificates were sold.
Gift certificate sales began in the early 1990's and increased
commensurate with the Company's growth in restaurants over the
ensuing years. The Company is determining which specific accounting
periods have been affected and whether it will be required to
restate prior period financial statements. The Company intends to
announce its third quarter earnings as soon as possible, but not
later than the date of filing of the Company's third quarter Form
10-Q. IMPORTANT NOTE: This press release contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These forward-looking statements
include the Company's current expectation of the consequences of
the understatement of the Company's unearned revenue account,
including the estimated amount of the understatement, the
possibility that the Company will be required to restate its
financial statements and its expectation of when it will announce
third quarter earnings. These forward-looking statements are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking
statements, including the risk that the amount of the
understatement is determined to be greater than estimated, that a
restatement or any other accounting consequence materially impacts
the Company's financial statements and that unforeseen events could
further delay the Company's third quarter earnings announcement.
The results of this review may affect the Company's assessment of
its internal controls. Except to the limited extent required by
law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any
forward-looking statements. DATASOURCE: OSI Restaurant Partners,
