                 Jack in the Box Inc. Exceeds Fourth
 Quarter Earnings Forecast and Reports Record Profit for Fiscal Year
                                 2007

  Issues Guidance for FY2008 and Updates Three-Year Business Outlook


    SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 16, 2007--Jack in the Box Inc.
(NYSE:JBX) beat fourth-quarter earnings expectations with net income
of $27.0 million, or 43 cents per diluted share, for the quarter ended
Sept. 30, 2007, compared with $33.2 million, or 46 cents per diluted
share, for the same quarter in 2006. (All per share and share amounts
in this news release reflect the 2-for-1 split of the company's common
stock, effected in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend on Oct.
15, 2007.) Year-ago earnings per diluted share included a 12 cents
benefit from refranchising the company's 25 Jack in the Box(R)
restaurants in Hawaii and a 2 cents reduction from the cumulative
effect of an accounting change.

    For fiscal 2007, net earnings reached a record $126.3 million, or
$1.88 per diluted share, which included a third-quarter benefit of 4
cents per diluted share from an insurance recovery. Fiscal 2006
earnings were $108.0 million, or $1.50 per diluted share.

    Fourth quarter earnings exceeded by 5 cents the high end of the
range previously forecast by the company and analysts' First Call
consensus estimate - 38 cents - due primarily to the following, in
approximate amounts:

    --  +4 cents due primarily to higher sales and leverage on
        improved labor efficiencies and other fixed costs, and lower
        SG&A expense; and

    --  +1 cent from fewer shares outstanding due to stock repurchases
        during the quarter, net of higher interest expense.

    "Jack in the Box Inc. has now delivered earnings per share growth
of more than 20 percent for three consecutive years," said Linda A.
Lang, chairman and chief executive officer. "Our sales and earnings
growth has been a result of our success in repositioning the Jack in
the Box brand to appeal to a broader base of consumers."

    Fourth quarter and fiscal year financial highlights

    Same-store sales at Jack in the Box company restaurants increased
5.2 percent in the fourth quarter on top of a year-ago increase of 5.9
percent. Approximately 2 percent of this year's improvement was due to
price increases. For the full year, same-store sales at Jack in the
Box company restaurants increased 6.1 percent on top of a year-ago
increase of 4.8 percent. Approximately 1.3 percent of the full year's
improvement was due to price increases. Average annual unit volume at
Jack in the Box company restaurants was $1.43 million in fiscal 2007
versus $1.36 million in fiscal 2006.

    System same-store sales at Qdoba Mexican Grill(R) increased 5.8
percent in the fourth quarter on top of a year-ago increase of 4.5
percent. For the full year, system same-store sales were up 4.6
percent at Qdoba on top of a fiscal 2006 increase of 5.9 percent.
Average annual unit volume at Qdoba company restaurants was $1.04
million in fiscal 2007 versus $1.0 million last year.

    Restaurant operating margin was 17.4 percent of sales in the
fourth quarter compared with 17.8 percent a year ago. Commodity costs
increased 180 basis points in 2007, but the impact on restaurant
operating margin was largely offset by fixed cost leverage from higher
sales this year, along with labor efficiencies and profit improvement
program initiatives. For fiscal 2007, restaurant operating margin
improved to 17.9 percent of sales versus 17.5 percent a year ago,
overcoming a 60-basis-points increase in commodity costs partially
offset by fixed cost leverage from higher sales in 2007, labor
efficiencies, profit improvement program initiatives, and lower costs
for utilities.

    SG&A expense rate in the fourth quarter improved to 10.7 percent
of revenues compared with 11.4 percent last year, due primarily to
leverage from higher sales and franchise revenues, lower pension
expense, profit improvement program initiatives and the impact of the
company's refranchising strategy. For the year, SG&A expense rate
improved 80 basis points to 10.2 percent of revenues, due primarily to
the same reasons cited above and the third-quarter insurance recovery.

    Jack in the Box opened 28 new restaurants, including 5 franchised
locations, in the fourth quarter compared with 17 restaurants,
including 3 franchised locations, last year. Qdoba opened 27
restaurants, including 20 franchised locations, in the fourth quarter
versus 21 restaurants, including 17 franchised locations, last year.
For the year, Jack in the Box added 58 new restaurants, including 16
franchised locations, versus 36 restaurants last year, which included
7 franchised locations. The increase in restaurant openings exceeded
by 8 the high end of the range forecast by the company due to the
accelerated opening of restaurants that were projected to open in the
first quarter of fiscal 2008.

    Qdoba added 87 new restaurants, including 77 franchised locations,
in fiscal 2007 compared with 71 restaurants, including 58 franchised
locations, a year ago. At Sept. 30, the company's system total
comprised 2,132 Jack in the Box restaurants, including 696 franchised
locations and 60 with Quick Stuff(R) convenience stores, and 395 Qdoba
restaurants, including 305 franchised locations.

    Gains on sale of 24 company-operated Jack in the Box restaurants
to franchisees totaled $12.2 million in the fourth quarter compared
with $22.2 million in the year-ago quarter from the sale of 35
restaurants, which included approximately $15 million in gains from
the sale of the company's 25 Hawaiian locations. The difference in
average gains is related to the specific sales and cash flows of
restaurants sold. For fiscal 2007, gains on sale of 76
company-operated restaurants to franchisees totaled $39.3 million
compared with $42.0 million in fiscal 2006 from the sale of 82
restaurants.

    Capital expenditures were $47.2 million in the fourth quarter
compared with $53.2 million in the same quarter last year. For the
full year, capital expenditures totaled $154 million versus $150
million in fiscal 2006.

    Treasury highlights

    In the fourth quarter, stockholders approved an amendment to the
company's certificate of incorporation to increase the total number of
shares of common stock that Jack in the Box Inc. is authorized to
issue, to 175 million shares from 75 million shares, and in the first
quarter of fiscal 2008 the company successfully effected a 2-for-1
split of its common stock.

    Jack in the Box Inc. repurchased approximately 1.6 million shares
of its common stock in the fourth quarter, prior to the stock split,
for approximately $100 million, thereby completing a repurchase
program authorized by the company's board of directors in 2005.

    The company said today that its board of directors has authorized
a new $200 million program to repurchase shares of Jack in the Box
Inc. common stock at prevailing market prices, in the open market or
in private transactions, from time to time, over the next three years.

    New market expansion

    Jack in the Box expanded into a new contiguous company market in
the fourth quarter - Corpus Christi, Texas. The first restaurant there
generated record opening-week sales for the company, and sales
continue to exceed expectations. A second restaurant in Corpus Christi
opened last week, and additional locations are slated to open in 2008.

    Earlier this week, Jack in the Box expanded into a second new
contiguous company market - Denver - and in 2008, franchisees are
expected to open Jack in the Box restaurants in three new contiguous
markets: Albuquerque, N.M., Midland/Odessa, Texas, and Abilene/San
Angelo, Texas.

    Fourth quarter initiatives

    The company attributed the sales growth in fiscal 2007 largely to
the progress made in reinventing the Jack in the Box brand through
sweeping upgrades to its menu and by improving the guest experience
through service initiatives and enhancements to the restaurant
environment. Following are highlights for the quarter:

    --  Jack in the Box added the Sirloin Steak & Egg Burrito, which
        features a flour tortilla stuffed with 100% sirloin steak,
        shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheeses, scrambled eggs and
        hash browns, topped with a chipotle sauce and served with a
        side of fire-roasted salsa. In 2007, Jack in the Box was the
        first major quick-serve chain to add sirloin steak to its
        menu, and during the year the company introduced several
        products featuring this high-quality ingredient.

    --  As a complement to its line of real ice cream shakes, Jack in
        the Box introduced Real Ice Cream Floats, refreshing beverages
        featuring vanilla ice cream mixed with a choice of soda,
        including Barq's(R) Root Beer, Dr Pepper(R) and Fanta(R)
        orange. To support the new product line, which began selling
        in July, Jack in the Box launched a limited-time promotion to
        "Float Your Combo," whereby guests could upgrade their combo
        meal beverages with a Real Ice Cream Float for a slight
        charge.

    Jack in the Box continues to re-image restaurants with a
comprehensive program that includes a complete redesign of the dining
room and common areas. Finishes include ceramic tile floors, a mix of
seating styles ranging from booths and bars to high-top round tables,
decorative pendant lighting, graphics and wall collages, music, new
paint schemes and landscaping. The company re-imaged 187 restaurants
during the year, and franchisees re-imaged another 13 locations. Since
the current re-image program was approved last year, approximately 350
company and franchised Jack in the Box restaurants have been
re-imaged. The entire Jack in the Box system, including franchised
locations, is expected to be re-imaged over the next 3-4 years.

    Strategic plan update

    In September, the company's board of directors approved the
continuation of the strategic plan for Jack in the Box Inc. and the
following four key initiatives comprising that updated plan:

    --  Growth - To grow earnings, same-store sales, and other key
        operating and financial metrics, as well as expand the Jack in
        the Box and Qdoba brands. Both brands will continue to fill in
        existing markets, with Jack in the Box also adding units in
        new contiguous markets and Qdoba adding units in contiguous
        and new markets.

    --  Brand reinvention - To differentiate Jack in the Box from the
        competition and deliver a restaurant experience superior to
        that typically found in the QSR segment by holistically
        reinventing the brand. Brand reinvention focuses on major
        improvements in the following areas:



          -- Menu innovation. Jack in the Box will continue to
           differentiate its menu from the competition and broaden the
           brand's consumer appeal by developing new products that are
           unique to the QSR segment, such as burgers and sandwiches
           featuring premium ingredients like hearth-baked ciabatta
           bread and sirloin steak. Added to the menu in fiscal 2007,
           sirloin steak is a high-quality ingredient that can serve
           as a platform to launch additional innovative products.

          -- Enhanced restaurant environment. In the next 3-4 years,
           the entire Jack in the Box system, including franchised
           locations, will be re-imaged with a comprehensive program
           that includes a complete redesign of dining rooms and
           common areas as well as new paint schemes, landscaping and
           other exterior enhancements. In markets where all
           restaurants were re-imaged, the company is seeing positive
           sales trends and higher attribute ratings.

          -- Service improvements. To improve the level and
           consistency of guest service, Jack in the Box will continue
           to build upon recent internal-service initiatives at
           company restaurants to help attract higher-quality
           applicants for team member positions, which can ultimately
           improve productivity, maximize retention, and reduce
           training costs. These initiatives include access to
           affordable healthcare for all full- and part-time team
           members, an ESL (English-as-a-second-language) program for
           Spanish-speaking restaurant employees, and computer-based
           training. Additionally, the chain will leverage new
           technologies to improve speed of service and guest
           satisfaction. As an example, in 2007 the company equipped
           all restaurants with "contactless" credit-card readers,
           enabling guests to pay at the front counter or drive-thru
           simply by holding their cards in front of the device. The
           company is also testing self-serve kiosks, which offer
           guests an alternative method of ordering inside Jack in the
           Box restaurants. And outside restaurants, at certain high-
           volume locations, team members positioned near the drive-
           thru menu board process drive-thru orders utilizing a
           portable wireless communications device.



    --  Expand franchising - To continue expanding franchise
        operations to generate higher margins and returns for the
        company, while mitigating business-cost and investment risks.
        The company's long-term goal is to increase the percentage of
        franchise ownership by approximately 5 percent annually and
        move toward an ultimate goal of franchise ownership in the
        range of 70-80 percent, which would be more closely aligned
        with that of the QSR industry. The Jack in the Box system is
        currently approximately 33 percent franchised.

    --  Improve the business model - To improve restaurant
        profitability and returns and increase the long-term value of
        the business as Jack in the Box transitions to a new business
        model comprised of predominantly franchised restaurant
        locations. The company will also focus on profit improvement
        initiatives to reduce G&A and improve operating margins
        without negatively impacting the guests' experience. Other
        initiatives include a new restaurant prototype featuring a
        re-engineered kitchen.

    Guidance & three-year business outlook (in approximate amounts)

    Jack in the Box Inc. today announced changes to the guidance it
will issue on an annual and quarterly basis. The company will provide
full-year detail on company and restaurant operations, as well as a
longer-term, three-year outlook. The company will also provide
additional detail on key performance metrics. The company will
discontinue its practice of updating quarterly earnings guidance,
although it will continue providing quarterly same-store sales
forecasts. Unless otherwise noted, the following guidance and
underlying assumptions pertain to the fiscal year ending Sept. 28,
2008:

    Q1 guidance

    --  2-3 percent same-store sales increase at Jack in the Box
        company restaurants on top of a 5.6 percent increase in the
        year-ago quarter.

    --  4-6 percent same-store sales increase at Qdoba system
        restaurants on top of a 4.1 percent increase in the year-ago
        quarter.

    Fiscal year 2008 guidance

    --  $1.98-2.06 per diluted share in earnings. Included in the
        range is the estimated impact of the company's $25,000
        contribution to franchisees for each re-imaged restaurant
        completed on schedule and to standard (-4 cents); facility
        charges arising from kitchen enhancements and acceleration of
        the restaurant re-image program (-6 cents); and a higher tax
        rate (-5 cents).

    --  2-4 percent same-store sales increase at Jack in the Box
        company restaurants on top of a 6.1 percent increase in fiscal
        2007.

    --  4-6 percent same-store sales increase at Qdoba system
        restaurants.

    --  35-45 new Jack in the Box restaurants, including 13-17
        franchised locations.

    --  75-90 new Qdoba restaurants, including 60-70 franchised
        locations.

    --  $45-48 million in gains from the sale of 100-120 Jack in the
        Box restaurants to franchisees, with approximately $60-70
        million in cash flow resulting from the sales.

    --  350-400 re-imaged Jack in the Box restaurants, including
        100-150 franchised locations, with a projected completion of
        the re-image program in 3-4 years.

    --  $175-185 million in capital expenditures, including investment
        costs related to the Jack in the Box restaurant re-image
        program and kitchen enhancements.

    --  SG&A expense rate at approximately 10 percent of revenue.

    --  Tax rate of approximately 37-37.5 percent.

    Long-term goals (fiscal years 2009-2011)

    --  Earnings growth of 12-15 percent per year, with continued
        focus on improving returns on invested capital.

    --  Same-store-sales growth of 2-4 percent annually at Jack in the
        Box restaurants.

    --  Same-store-sales growth of 3-5 percent annually at Qdoba
        restaurants.

    --  Sale of approximately 110-130 Jack in the Box restaurants to
        franchisees annually, generating gains of $45-55 million per
        year, with approximately $65-75 million in cash flow resulting
        from the sales. By 2011, the Jack in the Box system is
        expected to be approximately 55 percent franchised.

    --  Capital expenditures are estimated to decrease by
        approximately $10-20 million per year until 2010 or 2011 when
        the company completes the restaurant re-image program, at
        which time annual capital expenditures are expected to return
        to historical levels of approximately $125 million or less.

    First-quarter initiatives

    Among the company's first-quarter marketing events are the
following:

    --  In October, Jack in the Box introduced a new Bold Roast
        Coffee, a full-bodied brew featuring a European roast of 100
        percent Arabica beans. Available in regular and decaf and
        served in two sizes, the new java blends coffeehouse quality
        with fast-food value and convenience.

    --  Later this month, Jack in the Box will introduce a new version
        of its popular line of holiday antenna balls that the chain
        will offer free for a limited time with the purchase of any
        sirloin burger combo. The new holiday ball, which sports a
        string of miniature lights on Jack's pointy yellow hat and a
        green garland collar, comes with a plastic post attached to a
        suction cup, enabling guests more flexibility in displaying
        the antenna topper.

    --  In December, Jack in the Box will expand its line of sirloin
        steak products with the Sirloin Steak Melt, a
        cheesesteak-style sandwich featuring marinated sirloin steak
        and three kinds of melting cheese topped with grilled onions
        and peppercorn mayo and served on grilled sourdough bread.

    --  In January, Jack in the Box will add a new flavor, Cherry Chip
        Bliss, to its lineup of shakes. The new shake will feature the
        chain's signature vanilla ice cream mixed with pieces of real
        cherry and chocolaty chips, and served with creamy whipped
        topping and a maraschino cherry.

    --  Jack in the Box will also debut a new "Smart Choice" logo to
        help direct guests to lighter menu options. Two new menu
        additions bearing the Smart Choice logo will be: Grilled
        Chicken Strips and a revamped Chicken Fajita Pita sandwich
        featuring a pita made with whole grain. The Grilled Chicken
        Strips feature a serving of four all white-meat chicken strips
        and are served with a side of teriyaki dipping sauce. The
        Chicken Strips have only 190 calories without the sauce and
        260 calories and 2 grams of fat with one serving of sauce. The
        Chicken Fajita Pita, a staple on the chain's menu for 20
        years, has 300 calories, and the new pita contains 16 grams of
        whole grain per serving.

    --  Also in January, Jack in the Box will launch a limited-time,
        bundled-meal promotion to drive traffic.
