  Brinker International Announces May Sales   
   
Comparable store sales increased 0.5 percent for the four-week period ending May 26, 2004

May comparable store sales for the four reported brands were as follows:

                              May FY '04          May FY '03
Chili's 0.0% 3.2%
Macaroni Grill -3.0% 1.7%
Maggiano's +3.0% 1.8%
On The Border +6.3% 1.2%


May price increases and product mix-shifts for Brinker and the four reported brands were as follows:

                            Price Increase    Product Mix-Shift
Brinker +1.9% -0.6%
Chili's +2.2% -1.4%
Macaroni Grill +1.6% +0.6%
Maggiano's +1.7% -0.2%
On The Border +1.1% +1.8%


Brinker reaffirmed its estimate of fourth quarter fiscal 2004 earnings to be $0.71 to $0.73 per share, based on quarterly comparable store sales growth in the 1 percent to 3 percent range. The company's fiscal year 2004 contains 53 weeks, and fiscal year 2005 will be a 52-week year.

The company announced initial fiscal year 2005 earnings per share estimates of $2.28 to $2.38, based on the following assumptions:

   --  130 to 135 new restaurant openings, resulting in capacity growth of 6
percent to 7 percent; a high number of openings are scheduled for the
latter part of the fiscal year and will have a minimal effect on
revenues
-- Comparable store sales growth of 1 percent to 3 percent
-- An increase of approximately $11 million pre-tax net interest expense
related to the company's senior notes offering of $300 million at
5.75 percent which closed in May 2004
-- Higher pre-opening expense due to 28 to 34 additional restaurant
openings on a year over year basis
-- Exclusion of any additional costs related to the previously announced
closure of 30 restaurants
-- Approximately 96 to 97 million outstanding diluted shares, exclusive
of any impact of the potential conversion or inclusion in the share
base of the company's outstanding convertible debt
