US-based restaurant chain Rave Restaurant Group has reported a 42% decline to $15.12m in total revenues for the fiscal year ending 24 June.

The company currently owns, operates and franchises Pie Five Pizza and Pizza Inn restaurant brands.

Net income improved by $14.4m, or $1.31 per diluted share to $1.9m, or $0.13 per diluted share, in fiscal 2018.

The increase was due to a $7.9m improvement in company-owned stores and a $3.4m benefit from a partial reversal of the previous valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets.

“We are executing on key elements of our revitalisation plans which are driving us towards the next phase of growth.”

Adjusted EBITDA of $0.6m saw an increase of $2.4m, compared to the previous year.

Rave Restaurant Group chief executive officer Scott Crane said: “We are encouraged by progress that we’ve made with both brands. The decisions made in fiscal 2018 have laid a solid foundation for success in coming quarters.
