Excluding certain items, earnings in the latest quarter came to 3 cents per share. Revenue rose 2 percent to $603.7 million versus a year ago but fell short of the $615 million forecast of analysts polled by FactSet. Revenue at company-run stores in North America rose 1 percent. The company said its results were impacted by bad weather during the period and shifts in the timing of the New Year and Easter holidays. At franchised stores, the metric edged up 0.6 percent. This figure is a key gauge of a restaurant operator's performance because it strips out the impact of newly opened and closed locations. Wendy's Co. now expects 2013 adjusted earnings of 20 cents to 22 cents per share, up from 18 cents to 20 cents per share. Wall Street predicts 19 cents per share. Its shares finished at $6.12 on Tuesday.
