Papa John's reported first-quarter net loss of $3.80 million, or 12 cents per share, down from a net income of $17.4 million, or 52 cents per share, a year earlier.

Last July, Papa John's sales cratered after it was reported that founder John Schnatter used the n-word on a conference call.

The company reported first-quarter net loss of $3.80 million, or 12 cents per share, down from net income of $17.4 million, or 52 cents per share, a year earlier. While sales tanked, Papa John's provided $4.9 million in financial assistance to its U.S. franchisees by reducing royalties. That royalty relief resulted in a 12-cent loss per share.
