P.F. CHANG’S FOURTH QUARTER REVENUES TOTAL $214 MILLION
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA (January 5, 2006) P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, Inc. (NASDAQ: PFCB) reported today consolidated revenues of $213.8 million for the fourth quarter ended January 1, 2006 (13 weeks) compared to $199.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2004 (14 weeks). Sales at the company’s P.F. Chang’s China Bistro units accounted for $176.6 million of consolidated revenues while sales at the company’s Pei Wei Asian Diner units accounted for $37.2 million of consolidated revenues.
For the thirteen weeks ended January 1, 2006, comparable store sales increased 1.0% at the Bistro and increased 1.9% at Pei Wei as compared to the thirteen weeks ended January 2, 2005. The increase at the Bistro was the result of an increase in customer traffic and a price increase of approximately 0.7%.

Comparable store sales increased 1.2%, 1.2% and 0.6%, respectively for October, November and December at the Bistro and increased 2.6%, 2.7% and 0.4% respectively for October, November and December at Pei Wei.
