Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. announced preliminary sales results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 29, 2013. For the quarter, total revenue was up 9.2%, or $2.4 million, to approximately $28.5 million against $26.1 million a year ago, more than offsetting the benefit of an additional week in the prior year period. Sales growth was driven by the addition of ten new restaurants since the end of 2012 and comparable restaurant sales growth. Comparable restaurant sales increased 1.1% on a consolidated basis for the fourth quarter of 2013. This compares with an exceptionally strong 9.2% comparable sales growth in the fourth quarter of 2012. Comparable sales growth for the 2013 period was driven primarily by pricing.

For the full year, total revenue increased 40.6% to a record $108.9 million compared with $77.4 million a year ago. Comparable sales were up 3.7%, on both traffic and pricing, compared with 7.6% in 2012.

For the fiscal 2014, the company expects revenue to be in a range of $125 to $130 million.
