Building 6, Suite 1 922 Highway 33 Freehold, N.J. 07728 CONTACT: Michael Shapiro Senior Vice President Chief Financial Officer (732) 294-2270 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FOODARAMA SUPERMARKETS, INC. REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR END RESULTS Freehold, N.J., March 15, 2004 -- Foodarama Supermarkets, Inc. (ASE-FSM) today announced that sales for the 13 weeks ended January 31, 2004 totaled $294,715,000, compared to $257,091,000 for the prior year period. Same store sales from the twenty stores operated in both periods increased 3.6% period to period. Sales for the current quarter included the operations of the new locations in Woodbridge, Ewing, North Brunswick and Hamilton New Jersey opened in December 2002, January 2003, May 2003 and October 2003, respectively. The locations in Woodbridge and North Brunswick replaced older, smaller stores. In the current quarter net income was $1,240,000 or $1.22 per diluted share. The Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the first quarter ended January 31, 2004 were $10,569,000. For the thirteen weeks ended February 1, 2003, the Company reported net income of $349,000 or $.34 per diluted share. The Company's EBITDA for the first quarter ended February 1, 2003 were $6,786,000. EBITDA is presented because management believes that EBITDA is a useful supplement to net income and other measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States since it is a meaningful measure of a company's performance and ability to meet its future debt service requirements, fund capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered as an alternative to (i) net income (or any other measure of performance under generally accepted accounting principles) as a measure of performance or (ii) cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows or as a measure of liquidity. The following table reconciles reported net income to EBITDA.
