While we continue to address our opportunity to deliver traffic growth, these profitability gains reflect the dedication of our restaurant teams who have embraced an ownership mindset. Combined with the benefit of recent corporate efficiency initiatives, our improved financial foundation provides us with the resources needed to accelerate investments in traffic-driving initiatives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Providing Net income (loss) guidance is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items.
