LOUISVILLE, KY. (May 1, 2017)

— Texas Roadhouse, Inc. (NasdaqGS: TXRH), today announced financial results for the 13-week period ended March 28, 2017.

($000’s)	2017		2016		% Change

Results for the first quarter included the following highlights:

· Comparable restaurant sales increased 3.1% at company restaurants and 3.8% at domestic franchise restaurants;

· Restaurant margin, as a percentage of restaurant sales, decreased 21 basis points to 19.9%, primarily driven by wage rate inflation, partially offset by the benefit of lower food costs;

· Results for the quarter included a pre-tax charge of $14.9 million ($9.2 million after-tax), or $0.13 per diluted share, related to a previously disclosed legal matter which was settled during March 2017. The impact of the legal charge was partially offset by a pre-tax charge recorded in the first quarter of 2016 of $5.5 million ($3.4 million after-tax) related to a separate legal matter which had an impact of $0.05 on diluted earnings per share in that quarter;

· Diluted earnings per share decreased 4.4% to $0.48 from $0.50 in the prior year; and,
