After the bell, JACK is due to report earnings. It can go either way. On one hand, their murder burger division may follow along the road to riches that SONC traveled on. However, the other road may lead it to a dark Mexican city, the same path traveled by CMG, and get eaten by cartel sewer rats.
To be frank, I have no idea how it will play out. I leave it to the Gods, to either smile upon me or smite me into embarrassment.
I look at JACK in the Box and I wind it up. When the JACK pops out tonight, it will either knife me in the face, or bestow great treasures to me. There will be no middle ground. By tonight I will either be a giant JACKASS or I will be swimming in a Knight Capital-esque JACKPOT.
Separately, the market is flat; but I am getting absolutely poleaxed into submission. My boat had small holes in it earlier, superficial in nature and substance. I opted to ignore them and eat sandwiches instead. Now those small, baby bitch, holes have grown in size and threaten to capsize the HMS Fly Will Fuck Your Shit Up battleship. At the present, despite my 15% cash position, I am down 1.6% for the day, led by asshole action in VHC, TEA, EXK, DECK and CTRP.
I’m having my cock-gobbled off by killer Turkeys. There are zombies everywhere and I don’t have any weapons to defend myself with, only the shards from my own broken bones. If need be, I will snap my arm off and use the shard to impale invading zombies. However, I am hoping to make it out of this fucking rakish city with limbs intact.
Calming down, thinking clearly, I have another play setting up, something that may offer significant upside, soon to be revealed upon confirmation by the celestial overlords.
Until then, I’m all about that JACK-ass lifestyle.

Dr. Fly,
Who in the iBC network has the greatest potential to become a ‘tabbed’ blogger?
Why do you gamble? It’s so un-Fly…

Hi George,
I wish you would consider reconnecting with Stocktwits. You were much easier to follow on Stocktwits. On the IBC site your twitter comments get lost in the crowd and that’s a shame.
My 2cents worth.
It is a shame. However, I was not given much of a choice.
Your losses in JACK and VHC will be canceled out by wins in TEA and CPST. CALM up…
TLT is cooperating
See you in 20 minutes.
Could be Jack-on or Jackoff.
I bot me some ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz’s

Jack in the Box Inc. Reports Third Quarter FY 2012 Earnings; Updates Guidance for FY 2012
SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aug. 8, 2012– Jack in the Box Inc. (NASDAQ: JACK) today reported net earnings of $11.6 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the third quarter ended July 8, 2012, compared with net earnings of $18.7 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2011.
Gains from refranchising contributed approximately $0.05 per diluted share for the quarter as compared with approximately $0.13 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.
Operating earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure which the company defines as diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis excluding gains from refranchising and restructuring charges, were $0.37 per diluted share compared with $0.25 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measurements to GAAP results is attached to this release.
During fiscal 2012, the company has been engaged in a comprehensive review of its organization structure, including evaluating opportunities for outsourcing, restructuring of certain functions and workforce reductions. As a result, restructuring charges of $11.3 million, or approximately $0.16 per diluted share, were recorded during the third quarter which relate primarily to costs resulting from employees electing to participate in the company’s voluntary early retirement program. These charges are included in “impairment and other charges, net” in the accompanying consolidated statement of earnings. The company expects to incur additional restructuring charges during the fourth quarter of 2012 relating to this review.
Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the company entered into an agreement to outsource its distribution business, and expects the transition to be completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013, subject to the anticipated completion of certain closing conditions. The company expects that the distribution business, including exit costs, will be reflected as discontinued operations beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Franchise 2.6% 2.4% 3.0% 0.9%
System 2.8% 3.2% 3.5% 1.4%

Franchise 0.9% 5.0% 2.5% 6.1%
System 2.1% 5.1% 3.0% 5.8%
Linda A. Lang, chairman and chief executive officer, said, “Jack in the Box company same-store sales increased 3.4 percent in the third quarter, driven by a combination of traffic growth and an increase in average check. Four weeks into the fourth quarter, our same-store sales are tracking above our third quarter results. We believe the same-store sales increases we’ve experienced over the last seven quarters reflect the investments we have made to drive sustainable growth by enhancing the entire guest experience at the Jack in the Box brand.
“Qdoba’s same-store sales in the third quarter increased 3.3 percent for company restaurants and 2.1 percent system-wide. Importantly, company restaurant operating margin at Qdoba improved to 18.7 percent in the third quarter from 16.0 percent in the year-ago quarter,” Lang said.
Consolidated restaurant operating margin was 16.5 percent of sales in the third quarter of 2012, compared with 12.5 percent of sales in the year-ago quarter.
Food and packaging costs in the quarter were 160 basis points lower than prior year. The decrease resulted from the benefit of price increases and favorable product mix as well as a greater proportion of Qdoba company restaurants which combined to more than offset commodity inflation. Overall commodity costs were approximately 1 percent higher in the quarter.
Payroll and employee benefits costs were 100 basis points lower than the year-ago quarter, reflecting leverage from same-store sales increases, the benefits of refranchising Jack in the Box restaurants, and the favorable impact of recent acquisitions of Qdoba franchised restaurants.
Occupancy and other costs decreased 140 basis points in the third quarter due primarily to leverage from same-store sales increases, the benefits of refranchising Jack in the Box restaurants, the favorable impact of recent acquisitions of Qdoba franchised restaurants, and a reduction of approximately 50 basis points due to costs associated with the rollout of new menu boards and uniforms during the prior year quarter at Jack in the Box restaurants. These decreases were partially offset by higher debit card fees and higher depreciation expense related to the Jack in the Box re-image program.
SG&A expense for the third quarter increased by $1.2 million and was 10.5 percent of revenues as compared to 9.9 percent in the prior year quarter. The increase in SG&A was attributable primarily to higher incentive compensation accruals, increased G&A related to Qdoba growth, higher pension and pre-opening costs which were partially offset by lower advertising and overhead costs resulting from the company’s refranchising strategy. Mark-to-market adjustments on investments supporting the company’s non-qualified retirement plans had no impact on SG&A in either quarter.
Gains on the sale of 18 company-operated Jack in the Box restaurants to franchisees totaled $3.7 million in the third quarter, or approximately $0.05 per diluted share, compared with $10.2 million, or approximately $0.13 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter from the sale of 112 restaurants. For the third quarter of 2012, average gains were $207,000 per restaurant, and total proceeds related to refranchising were $7.3 million, or an average of $405,000 per restaurant.
Impairment and other charges increased in the quarter to $15.2 million from $2.1 million a year ago. This increase related primarily to restructuring charges of $11.3 million discussed above and an increase in costs associated with closed restaurants.
The company acquired 9 franchised Qdoba restaurants in one market during the third quarter of 2012 for $9.1 million. This acquisition is expected to be accretive to fiscal 2012 restaurant operating margin and earnings per share.
In November 2011, the company’s board of directors approved a new $100 million stock-buyback program that expires in November 2013. The company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the third quarter, and as of July 8, 2012, $100 million remains available under this authorization.
Restaurant openings
Seven new Jack in the Box restaurants opened in the third quarter, including 2 franchised locations, compared with 5 new restaurants opened system-wide during the same quarter last year, of which 1 was franchised.
In the third quarter, 11 Qdoba restaurants opened, including 5 franchised locations, versus 17 new restaurants in the year-ago quarter, of which 11 were franchised.
At July 8, 2012, the company’s system total comprised 2,247 Jack in the Box restaurants, including 1,661 franchised locations, and 614 Qdoba restaurants, including 310 franchised locations.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASUREMENTS TO GAAP RESULTS
(Unaudited)
Operating earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, is defined by the company as diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis excluding gains from refranchising and restructuring charges. Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides important supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing the performance of the company’s core business. In addition, the company uses operating earnings per share in establishing performance goals for purposes of executive compensation. The company encourages investors to rely upon its GAAP numbers, but includes this non-GAAP financial measure as a supplemental metric to assist investors. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure used by the company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Below is a reconciliation of non-GAAP operating earnings per share to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, diluted earnings per share:

Was that good or bad?
Seriously? Was that necessary?
Use a fucking link douchebag.
Just post a fuckin’ LINK, asshole. We don’t need the whole bible here.
Apologies and a big Fuck ya all to ya bunch of whiny yallops… didn’t mean to put all this shinola up but during the cut and paste on my iPhone, that fucked up auto-drop down widget for yields and futures fuck everything up and i guess i hit the post button… and we can’t edit or delete after either…
What about the e coli write offs?
Does anyone else think the auto drop down of futures/yields/etc widget is annoying?
I like the rolling headline feature but do not like the mouseover auto drop. I think a clickable arrow or something on the top left to make it drop down would be less browser intrusive.
Fly what do you think?
It constantly gets in my way.
I can nuke it.
Wait! I like it.
You should be able to trigger it on mouseover after something like 1.5 seconds. That, or have a button you click on that pulls it down – that is probably best.
yeah the delay might be the trick
Don’t Senor.
(Right) Sidebar?
Ok, I thought I was the only one annoyed with the roll down. I can’t even see the comments section anymore via my phone because it somehow covers the entire screen. It’s a nice feature but it seems to get in the way especially when I am trying to view the site via my phone.
It’s fixed. Thank you.
You da man.
I like it, but the clickable thing works just as well I guess.
I hate that feature.its annoying from mobile pones as well as in the office pc I use it.
Also I liked the white background better.
Not a problem on an iPad.
Fly…bubula….you know you got it all…now stop “jjackin around” and put your ass back into YELP for fucksakes Fly
And I am not pumping it as I don’t own just returning the favor for RAX
Started day with $SODA ,sold and made some coin. Feeling Cocky….Then $MCD…$VHC…$JACK.To quote that great trader Jerome “Curly” Howard.”were not stupid…were morons”.
Is anyone round these hallowed halls knowledgeable enough to inform the Blind Man as to the causes that creates after hour spikes such as $JACK (NO “I’m lovin’ it”)?
Obviously disclosure of accountant’s earnings is the issue, but is anyone here an after hours market expert? (this line of inquiry is hideous – I LIKE bebes – thank you).
Merci.
After hours is not a real market. Just a few traders pushing a stock around randomly, buying a bit and selling a bit. Unless the percentage gains or losses are huge, it is meaningless. You find out the next day what the real market really thinks of a stock.
If JACK remains green throughout tomorrow, that might mean it’s one of those stocks with bad earnings, after which traders believe the worst news is in, and the company and stock are at a bottom, and it’s all up from here.
Seriously? You are a day or two from calling a top…..go back to 60% cash. Just sayin
Dffpa, who knows?
Maybe Fly’s “another play setting up, something that may offer significant upside, soon to be revealed ” involves shorting a top, for all we know.
Whatever the new play may be, I await it with bated breath.
Never short a boring market and gosh darn it if this isn’t exactly that.
SNOOZE-FEST
Tiny melt-ups day after day in “anticipation” or in “hopes of” usually lead to a nice fat kick to the nuts when reality sets back in.
Be safe my trading friends.
VHC GOING TO MAKE New LOWS
VHC RIPS YOUR SCROTUM OFF FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING.
If it does who cares I’m not short or long on this non sense , just telling you that your balls are going to get punched in the next week or so .
How bold of you.

This is an OUTRAGE. If it looks like the earth it must be… Conspiracy!!!
Hilarious post.
where is FLY this am???
I’m betting Fly caught a nice trade in Jack and didn’t wait for extra cheese and double fries. Got Jack on before Jack off.
