Equity Research LOS ANGELES | SAN FRANCISCO | NEW YORK | BOSTON | SEATTLE | MINNEAPOLIS | MILWAUKEE Panera Bread Company (PNRA) October 17, 2013 Downgrading to NEUTRAL from OUTPERFORM on Softer Checks and Risk of Disappointing Guidance; PT to $165 • We are downgrading PNRA to NEUTRAL from OUTPERFORM as we no longer expect upward estimate revisions based on our most recent round of checks that indicate a softer end to Q3, and Q4 QTD SSS growth below expectations. • Our checks of 10% of company-owned locations indicated comp deceleration as Q3 came to a close and Q4 QTD comps of ~2.5%. This is a reversal from our August-end checks that indicated an accelerating trend line from July. We now believe the short-lived comp acceleration may have been due to upped promotional activity around loyalty designed to drive near-term visits, and that the comp slowdown may be more structural in nature than we previously believed. Consensus comp expectations are 2.8% for Q3 and 3.8% for Q4. We are lowering our Q3 comp expectation to 2.7% from 3.1% and our Q4 expectation to 2.5% from 4%. Guidance is 2-4%. A conference call to discuss the results will be held at 5:30 rd a.m. PT on Wednesday, October 23 . (Pages 2-4) • 2014 guidance could prove disappointing. Given a slower comp trend line in Q2, Q3 and potentially Q4, we believe 2014 comp and EPS guidance could be below the 2014 consensus expectation of 4% and $7.82, respectively, even in the context of share repurchases. (Page 4) • Share repurchases limit downside, in our opinion. We believe past stepped-up repurchases during periods of share price weakness have established a floor at ~20x forward P/E, and believe post-Q2 weakness could have resulted in another acceleration in repurchases. These repurchases have contributed to $0.09-0.15 in incremental EPS each year from 2010 through 2012, and account for $0.05 in EPS in 2013. $560 million remains on the company’s existing authorization. (Pages 5-6) • Continue to believe Panera is well positioned to make an eventual transition to a mature business model. Even as PNRA’s unit growth likely slows over the next 5 years, we believe that given its healthy franchise base, it is well positioned to adjust its capital structure and operating model to suit a mature model. Given the roadmaps of DNKN, BKW, and DPZ, we believe refranchising and leveraging would justify a share price >$200 once near- to medium-term obstacles, such as turnover in investor base, are overcome. (Pages 7-8) • Lowering our 2013 estimate to $6.81 from $6.87 to reflect lowered comp expectation. Also lowering our 2014 EPS estimate to $7.78 from $7.84. • Lowering PT to $165 from $190. This is a 21x multiple on our 2014 EPS estimate, a 30% discount to peers, based on risk to expectations.

Additional Analysis Slowdown in SSS Growth May be More Structural in Nature than We Previously Believed Our checks of 10% of company-owned locations indicated comp deceleration as Q3 came to a close and Q4 QTD comps of ~2.5%. This is a reversal from our August-end checks that indicated an accelerating trend line from July. We now believe the short-lived comp acceleration may have been due more to upped promotional activity around loyalty designed to drive near-term visits than the unpopularity of seasonal offering centered around shrimp (Figure 1). Thus, the comp slowdown may be more structural in nature than we previously believed, with an increasingly mature Panera’s competitive positioning at risk within both the breakfast daypart (Figure 2) and the sandwich/bakery café quick casual subcategory. According to Technomic, the fast casual sandwich subcategory continues to outgrow all other subcategories, consistently posting mid-teens annual growth rate year-after-year, with most of the growth contribution from smaller, recently formed competitors with growth rates much higher than Panera. 2013 2012 2011 Figure 1: Seasonal Offerings and New Menu Items Spring Breakfast Power Sandwich Chicken Noodle Soup Easter Egg Cookie Steak and Blue Cheese Salad Steak and Egg Breakfast Sandwich Steak and White Cheddar Panini Thai Chopped Chicken Salad Valentine Cookie Wild Berry Smoothie Summer Flower Cookie Frozen Lemonade & Strawberry Lemonade Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup Strawberry Poppyseed & Chicken Salad Fall Chocolate Pecan Babka Cranberry Orange Smoothie with Ginseng Pumpkin Cookie Pumpkin Spice Latte Roasted Turkey Artichoke Panini Roasted Turkey Harvest Salad Steak Chili with Cornbread Jack-o-lantern Cookie Winter Cranberry Walnut Pannetone Gingerbread Man Cookie Holiday Bread Mint Crinkle Cookie Peppermint Mocha Sonoma Chicken Stew Steak Balsamic Panini Spring Acai Berry Iced Tea Carrot Cake with Walnuts Chicken Tortilla Soup Cuban Chicken Panini Easter Egg Cookie Mediterranean Egg White Breakfast Sandwich Mediterranean Salmon Salad Peach Nectar Smoothie with Ginseng Roasted Turkey Fuji Apple Salad Steel Cut Oatmeal Strawberry Hot Cross Buns Toffee Nut Cookie Valentine Cookie Summer Black Cherry Smoothie Chopped Chicken Cobb Salad with Avocado Corn Chowder Flower Cookie Fresh Fruit Pastry Frozen Lemonade Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup Peanut Butter Dream Cookie Roasted Turkey & Avocado BLT Steel Cut Oatmeal with Blueberries & Granola Strawberry Poppyseed & Chicken Salad Fall Chocolate Pecan Babka Cranberry Orange Muffin Jack-o-lantern Cookie Pumpkin Cookie Pumpkin Pie Bagel Pumpkin Spice Latte Roasted Turkey & Cranberry Panini Roasted Turkey Harvest Salad Sausage & Gouda Baked Egg Souffle Sonoma Chicken Stew Steel Cut Oatmeal with Dried Cherries Winter Big Kid Grilled Cheese Christmas Tree Cookie Dinner Rolls Ham & Gruyere Breakfast Sandwich Holiday Bread Peppermint Mocha Red Velvet Crinkle Cookie Skinny Caffe Mocha Spring Cheese Babka Chocolate Due with Walnuts Flower Cookie Pesto Sacchettini Roasted Turkey & Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Breakfast Sandwich Rustic Penne Bolognese Tortellini Alfredo Summer Bacon Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich Chilled Shrimp & Soba Noodle Sandwich Corn Chowder Fresh Fruit Pastry Frozen Cherry Limeade Iced Coffee Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup Shrimp Salad Sandwich Steel Cut Oatmeal with Blueberries & Granola Strawberry Poppyseed & Chicken Salad Tropical Hibiscus Iced Tea Fall Apple Chips and Pecan Oatmeal Chocolate Truffle Babka Chocolate, Vanilla and Red Velvet Cupcakes Cranberry Orange Muffin Jack-o-lantern Cookie Pumpkin Pie Bagel Pumpkin Spice Latte Rigatoni San Marzano Roasted Tomato and Feta Baked Egg Souffle Roasted Turkey Harvest Wheatberry Salad Vegeterian Squash Soup Source: Company data, Wedbush Securities, Inc.

Nick Setyan (213) 688-4519 Panera Bread Company | 6 Valuation Assuming 100% Franchise Model and 5x Debt/EBITDA We believe Panera’s unit growth could slow to the low- to mid-single digits as it approaches our estimate of its potential unit opportunity of ~2,500 units over the next 5 years. However, we believe that given its healthy franchise base, it is well positioned to adjust its capital structure and operating model to suit a mature model. Given the roadmaps of DNKN, BKW, and DPZ, we believe refranchising and leveraging would justify a share price >$200 as early as 2014. Assuming Panera refranchises all of its co-owned restaurants, we believe its operating margins would approach DNKN’s ~50%. We also assume Panera would be able to refranchise at a multiple of 5x restaurant-level EBITDA. Our sensitivity analysis using 2-4% SSS growth and 40-50% operating margins indicates a share price of $351-464 in 2018 and $221-292 in 2014 discounted back at a WACC of 9.71% (Figures 8-11).
