1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

*Description of the Business -* Bloomin' Brands, Inc. ("Bloomin' Brands" or the "Company"), a holding company that conducts its operations through its subsidiaries, is one of the largest casual dining restaurant companies in the world, with a portfolio of leading, differentiated restaurant concepts. OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC ("OSI") is the Company's primary operating entity.

The Company owns and operates casual, polished casual and fine dining restaurants. The Company's restaurant portfolio includes Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill and Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar. Additional Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grill and Bonefish Grill restaurants are operated under franchise agreements.

*Basis of Presentation -* The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. The Company utilizes a 52-53-week year ending on the last Sunday in December and its fiscal year ending December 27, 2026 will contain 52 weeks. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary for fair statement of results for the periods presented have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Unless otherwise noted, disclosures within these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements relate solely to the Company's continuing operations.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2025. The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

*Reclassifications* - The Company reclassified certain immaterial amounts in prior period financial statements to conform to the current period's presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported Net income.

*Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted* - In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses," ("ASU No. 2024-03") which requires detailed disclosures in the notes to financial statements of expense categories within relevant income statement captions including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. ASU No. 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. ASU No. 2024-03 may be applied either prospectively for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2024-03 will have on its disclosures.

Recent accounting guidance not discussed herein is not applicable, did not have or is not expected to have a material impact to the Company.

2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Equity Method Investment

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(UNAUDITED) - Continued**

*Franchise Revenue* - Effective December 31, 2023, the Company entered into an Amended & Restated Holistic Resolution Agreement (the "2023 Resolution Agreement") with Cerca Trova Southwest Restaurant Group, LLC (d/b/a Out West Restaurant Group) and certain of its affiliates (collectively, "Out West"), who currently operate 72 franchised Outback Steakhouse restaurants in the western United States. The 2023 Resolution Agreement provided for forbearance regarding prior defaults and established operating covenants to maintain such forbearance. Subsequent to the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026, the Company received notice from the agent for Out West's senior lender that Out West was in default of its separate Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of April 25, 2017 (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") and Forbearance Agreement and Fourth Amendment to Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "Forbearance Agreement") with such agent and senior lenders as Out West was no longer in compliance with one or more covenants of such agreements. The senior agent and lenders have not yet elected to take any specific actions with respect to the default notice and have not yet elected to terminate the Forbearance Agreement, Credit Agreement, or other credit documents. Out West continues to operate its restaurants in the ordinary course and was current in its obligations to the Company as of March 29, 2026, including payment of royalties and other fees. If the senior lenders exercise their rights under their forbearance agreement with respect to this default, or the forbearance agreement expires or is terminated, the lenders have a priority right to payment of amounts due and may exercise creditor remedies against Out West, subject to applicable law and loan documents, including foreclosure on Out West's assets. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this process, possible actions by Out West's lenders or any alternatives the Company may consider. The Company is working with Out West and other parties to mitigate potential disruptions and actively evaluating operational, contractual and strategic alternatives to address Out West's near-term liquidity constraints and longer-term operations.

8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

*Interest Rate Risk* - The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate variability, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company's objective in using interest rate derivatives is to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps.

**Designated Hedges**

*Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk -* To manage its exposure to fluctuations in variable interest rates, in March 2024 and December 2023, OSI entered into 11 interest rate swap agreements with ten counterparties with an aggregate notional amount of $375.0 million and one and two-year tenors (the "2023 and 2024 Swap Agreements"). The Company had $100.0 million of interest rate swap agreements that matured on December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

In October 2025, OSI entered into an additional eight interest rate swap agreements with eight counterparties with an aggregate notional amount of $300.0 million and 12- and 21-month tenors (the "2025 Swap Transactions", together with the 2023 and 2024 Swap Agreements, the "Swap Transactions"). The following are the terms of the remaining Swap Transactions:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **NOTIONAL AMOUNT** | **WEIGHTED AVERAGE FIXED INTEREST RATE (1)** | **EFFECTIVE DATE** | **TERMINATION DATE** |
| $175000000 | 4.40% | March 29, 2024 | March 31, 2026 |
| $100000000 | 3.37% | December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2026 |
| $200000000 | 3.18% | March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2027 |

---

____________________

(1)The weighted average fixed interest rate excludes the term SOFR adjustment and interest rate spread described below.

In connection with the Swap Transactions, the Company effectively converted its outstanding indebtedness based on the notional amount from a variable rate of SOFR, plus a term SOFR adjustment of 0.10% and a spread of 150 to 250 basis points, to the weighted average fixed interest rates within the table above, plus a term SOFR adjustment of 0.10% and a spread of 150 to 250 basis points. The Swap Transactions have an embedded floor of minus 0.10%.

The Swap Transactions have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, are recognized on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and are classified based on the instruments' maturity dates. The Company estimates $1.3 million of interest income will be reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to Interest expense, net over the next 12 months related to the remaining Swap Transactions.

____________________

(1)See Note 7 - *Stockholders' Equity* for interest rate swaps impact on AOCI and Note 10 - *Fair Value Measurements* for fair value discussion of the interest rate swaps.

By utilizing the interest rate swaps, the Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event that the counterparty fails to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. To mitigate this risk, the Company enters into derivative contracts with major financial institutions based upon credit ratings and other factors. The Company continually assesses the creditworthiness of its counterparties. As of March 29, 2026, all counterparties to the Swap Transactions performed in accordance with their contractual obligations.

The Swap Transactions contain provisions whereby the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if the repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company's default on indebtedness. As of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, the Company has not posted any collateral related to the Swap Transactions.

The Company's Swap Transactions are subject to master netting arrangements. As of March 29, 2026, the Company elected not to offset derivative positions in its Consolidated Balance Sheet with the same counterparty under the same agreement.

**Non-Designated Hedges**

The Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to partially offset the foreign currency exchange gains and losses generated by the Brazilian Reais rate risk associated with the purchase price installment payments from the Brazil Sale Transaction. During the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2025, the Company received the final installment payment related to the Brazil Sale Transaction and the foreign currency forward contracts matured.

The following table summarizes the effects of the Company's foreign exchange forward contracts on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the period indicated:

10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, or the exit price, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value is categorized into one of the following three levels based on the lowest level of significant input:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
| Level 2 | Observable inputs available at measurement date other than quoted prices included in Level 1 |
| Level 3 | Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data |

---

*Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis -* The following table summarizes the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by hierarchy level on a recurring basis as of the periods indicated:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|

| **(dollars in thousands)** | **CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS CLASSIFICATION** | **MEASUREMENT LEVEL** | **MARCH 29, 2026** | **DECEMBER 28, 2025** |
| **Assets:** | | | | |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Short-term investments | Cash and cash equivalents | Level 1 | $5625 | $5597 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Interest rate swaps | Other current assets, net | Level 2 | $1235 | $208 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Interest rate swaps | Other assets, net | Level 2 | $768 | $— |
| **Liabilities:** |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Interest rate swaps | Accrued and other current liabilities | Level 2 | $3 | $330 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Interest rate swaps | Other long-term liabilities | Level 2 | $— | $87 |

---

Fair value of each class of financial instruments is determined based on the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT** | **METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS** |
| Short-term investments | Carrying value approximates fair value because maturities are less than three months. |
| Derivative instruments | Fair value measurements are based on the contractual terms of the derivatives and observable market-based inputs. The interest rate swaps are valued using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative using observable inputs including interest rate curves and credit spreads. The Company also considers its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. As of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, the Company determined that the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. |

---

*Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments -* The Company's non-derivative financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt. The fair values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts reported on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets due to their short duration.

Debt is carried at amortized cost; however, the Company estimates the fair value of debt for disclosure purposes. The following table includes the carrying value and fair value of the Company's debt by hierarchy level as of the periods indicated:

| **(dollars in thousands)** | **MARCH 29, 2026** | **MARCH 30, 2025** |

In the U.S., a restaurant company employer may claim a credit against its federal income taxes for FICA taxes paid on certain tipped wages (the "FICA tax credit"). The level of FICA tax credits is primarily driven by U.S. Restaurant sales and is not impacted by costs incurred that may reduce Income before (benefit) provision for income taxes.

For the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, the (benefit) provision for income taxes includes the benefit of FICA tax credits on certain tipped wages relative to forecasted full year Income before (benefit) provision for income taxes. A higher forecasted full year Income before (benefit) provision for income taxes for 2025 when compared to forecasted full year Income before (benefit) provision for income taxes for 2026, resulted in provision for income taxes for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 as compared to benefit for income taxes for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026.

The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025 was lower than the Company's blended federal and state statutory rate of approximately 26% primarily due to the benefit of FICA tax credits on certain tipped wages.

The following table is a summary of cash paid for income taxes for the periods indicated:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED** | **THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED** |
| **(dollars in thousands)** | **MARCH 29, 2026** | **MARCH 30, 2025** |

12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Commitments and Contingencies

*Litigation and Other Matters* - The Company recorded reserves of $4.9 million for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings as of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, within Accrued and other current liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. While the Company believes that additional losses beyond these accruals are reasonably possible, it cannot estimate a possible loss contingency or range of reasonably possible loss contingencies beyond these accruals.

*Lease Guarantees* - The Company assigned its interest, and is contingently liable, under certain real estate leases, the latest of which expires in 2032. As of March 29, 2026, the undiscounted payments that the Company could be required to make in the event of non-payment by the primary lessees were $10.4 million. The present value of these potential payments discounted at the Company's incremental borrowing rate as of March 29, 2026 was $8.7 million. As of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, the Company's recorded contingent lease liability was $1.6 million.

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF**

**FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

**Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes. Unless the context otherwise indicates, as used in this report, the terms the "Company," "we," "us," "our" and other similar terms mean Bloomin' Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

**Cautionary Statement**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Report") includes statements that express our opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms "believes," "estimates," "anticipates," "expects," "feels," "seeks," "forecasts," "projects," "intends," "plans," "may," "will," "should," "could" or "would" or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements are accompanied by such terms. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts.

Given these risks and uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement that we make in this Report speaks only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or to publicly announce the results of any revision to any of those statements to reflect future events or developments. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless specifically expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

**Overview**

We are one of the largest casual dining restaurant companies in the world with a portfolio of leading, differentiated restaurant concepts. As of March 29, 2026, we owned and operated 962 restaurants and franchised 490 restaurants across 46 states, Guam and 12 countries. Our restaurant portfolio includes: Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill and Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar.

*Financial Overview -* Our financial overview for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026 for continuing operations includes the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S. combined and Outback Steakhouse comparable restaurant sales of 0.9% and (0.3)%, respectively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increase in Total revenues of 1.0% as compared to the first quarter of 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operating income and restaurant-level operating margins of 5.6% and 14.0%, respectively, as compared to 5.5% and 13.9%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operating income of $59.1 million as compared to $57.2 million in the first quarter of 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Diluted earnings per share of $0.64 as compared to $0.50 for the first quarter of 2025.

*Our Turnaround Strategy -* In November 2025, we announced a comprehensive turnaround strategy, with a key focus on Outback Steakhouse, to drive long-term sustainable and profitable growth. This strategy is based on four key platforms, including: (i) deliver a remarkable dine-in experience, (ii) drive brand relevancy, (iii) reignite a culture of ownership and fun and (iv) invest in our restaurants. These platforms will be supported by non-guest facing productivity savings, balanced capital allocation and a strong management team.

*Key Financial Performance Indicators* - Key measures that we use in evaluating our restaurants and assessing our business include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Average restaurant unit volumes*—average sales (excluding gift card breakage) per restaurant to measure changes in customer traffic, pricing and development of the brand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Comparable restaurant sales*—year-over-year comparison of the change in sales volumes (excluding gift card breakage) for Company-owned restaurants that are open 18 months or more in order to remove the impact of new restaurant openings in comparing the operations of existing restaurants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *System-wide sales*—total restaurant sales volume for all Company-owned and franchise restaurants, regardless of ownership, to interpret the overall health of our brands.

System-wide sales is a non-GAAP financial measure that includes sales of all restaurants operating under our brand names, whether we own them or not. Sales from restaurants we do not own are not included in our consolidated Restaurant sales. Management uses this information to make decisions about future plans for the development of additional restaurants and new concepts, as well as evaluation of current operations. System-wide sales comprise sales of Company-owned and franchised restaurants. For a summary of sales of Company-owned restaurants, refer to Note 3 - *Revenue Recognition* of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Franchise restaurant sales disclosed as system-wide sales do not represent our sales and are

presented only as an indicator of changes in the restaurant system, which management believes is important information regarding the health of our restaurant concepts and in determining our royalties and/or service fees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Restaurant-level operating margin, Income from operations, Net income and Diluted earnings per share*—financial measures utilized to evaluate our operating performance.

Restaurant-level operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure widely regarded in the industry as a useful metric to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance of ongoing restaurant-level operations, and we use it for these purposes. Our restaurant-level operating margin is expressed as the percentage of our Restaurant sales that Food and beverage costs, Labor and other related expense and Other restaurant operating expense (including advertising expenses) represent, in each case as such items are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The following categories of revenue and operating expenses are not included in restaurant-level operating income and the corresponding margin because we do not consider them reflective of operating performance at the restaurant-level within a period:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Franchise and other revenues, which are earned primarily from franchise royalties and other non-food and beverage revenue streams, such as rental and sublease income;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Depreciation and amortization, which, although substantially all of which is related to restaurant-level assets, represent historical sunk costs rather than current cash outlays for the restaurants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)General and administrative expense, which includes primarily non-restaurant-level costs associated with support of the restaurants and other activities at our corporate offices; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)Asset impairment charges and restaurant closing costs, which are not reflective of ongoing restaurant performance in a period.

Restaurant-level operating margin excludes various expenses, as discussed above, that are essential to supporting the operations of our restaurants and may materially impact our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. As a result, restaurant-level operating margin is not indicative of our consolidated results of operations and is presented exclusively as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, Net income or Income from operations. In addition, our presentation of restaurant-level operating margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Adjusted restaurant-level operating margin, Adjusted income from operations, Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted earnings per share*—non-GAAP financial measures utilized to evaluate our operating performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

We believe that our use of these non-GAAP financial measures permits investors to assess the operating performance of our business relative to our performance based on U.S. GAAP results and relative to other companies within the restaurant industry by isolating the effects of certain items that may vary from period to period without correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. However, our inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that the items for which we have made adjustments are unusual or infrequent or will not recur. We believe that the disclosure of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors as they form part of the basis for how our management team and Board evaluate our operating performance, allocate resources and administer employee incentive plans.

*<u>Thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026 as compared to thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025</u>*

*Food and beverage cost* increased as a percentage of Restaurant sales primarily due to 1.3% from commodity inflation. This impact was offset by 1.3% from an increase in average check per person, primarily due to menu pricing.

*Labor and other related expense* increased as a percentage of Restaurant sales primarily due to 0.6% from higher hourly and field management labor costs, mainly due to wage rate inflation and health insurance, partially offset by 0.5% from an increase in average check per person.

*Other restaurant operating expense* decreased as a percentage of Restaurant sales primarily due to: (i) 0.5% from cost-saving and productivity initiatives, (ii) 0.3% from lower advertising expense and (iii) 0.2% from an increase in average check per person. These impacts were partially offset by 0.8% from higher restaurant-level operating and supply expenses, mainly due to inflation.

*Depreciation and amortization expense* increased primarily due to accelerated depreciation associated with equipment upgrades in connection with the turnaround strategy.

**FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued**

*General and administrative expense* decreased primarily due to lapping severance and costs associated with our foreign currency forward contracts incurred during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025.

*Provision for impaired assets and restaurant closings* increased primarily due to higher impairment and other costs related to restaurant closures and underperforming restaurants.

*(Benefit) provision for income taxes* for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025 includes the benefit of FICA tax credits on certain employees' tips relative to forecasted full year Income before (benefit) provision for income taxes. A higher forecasted full year Income before (benefit) provision for income taxes for 2025 when compared to forecasted full year Income before (benefit) provision for income taxes for 2026, resulted in provision for income taxes for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 as compared to benefit for income taxes for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026.

<u>SEGMENT PERFORMANCE</u>

Revenue for the U.S. reportable segment includes transactions with customers and revenues for both reportable segments include royalties from franchisees. There were no material transactions among reportable segments. Excluded from Income from operations for U.S. are certain legal and corporate costs not directly related to the performance of the segments, most stock-based compensation expenses, a portion of insurance expenses and certain bonus expenses.

Operating income is utilized by our CODM as the primary segment profit or loss measure to allocate resources in the planning and forecasting process and also to review operating performance by monitoring actual results versus prior year and forecasts.

Refer to Note 13 - *Segment Reporting* of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for reconciliations of segment income from operations to the consolidated operating results.

*U.S. -* The increase in U.S. Income from operations generated during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 was primarily due to: (i) an increase in average check per person, primarily due to pricing, (ii) cost-saving and productivity initiatives and (iii) lower advertising expense. These increases were partially offset by higher commodity, operating and labor costs, mainly due to inflation.

(1)See the *Adjusted Income from Operations Non-GAAP Reconciliations* table above for details regarding income from operations adjustments.

(2)The tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments is determined by recomputing the (benefit) provision for income taxes on an adjusted basis. The difference between the recomputed (benefit) provision for income taxes and the GAAP (benefit) provision for income taxes represents the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. The thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 also includes an adjustment to (benefit) provision for income taxes related to foreign currency gains on the Brazil Sale Transaction installment receivable.

(1)Interest rate for revolving credit facility represents the weighted average interest rate as of March 29, 2026.

As of March 29, 2026, we had $728.7 million in available unused borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, net of letters of credit of $16.3 million.

Our credit agreement, as amended, contains various financial and non-financial covenants. A violation of these covenants could negatively impact our liquidity by restricting our ability to borrow under the revolving credit facility and cause an acceleration of the amounts due under the credit facilities.

**BLOOMIN' BRANDS, INC.**

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF**

**FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued**

As of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, we were in compliance with our debt covenants. We believe that we will remain in compliance with our debt covenants during the next 12 months and beyond.

<u>Sources and Uses of Cash</u>

Cash flows generated from operating activities and availability under our revolving credit facility are our principal sources of liquidity, which we use for operating expenses, remodeling or relocating older restaurants, investments in technology and equipment and development of new restaurants.

We believe that our expected liquidity sources are adequate to fund debt service requirements, lease obligations, capital expenditures and working capital obligations during the 12 months following this filing. However, our ability to continue to meet these requirements and obligations will depend on, among other things, our ability to achieve anticipated levels of revenue and cash flow and our ability to manage costs and working capital successfully.

*Capital Expenditures* - We estimate that our capital expenditures will total approximately $185 million to $195 million in 2026. The amount of actual capital expenditures may be affected by general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors, among other things, including raw material constraints.

<u>Summary of Cash Flows and Financial Condition</u>

*Cash Flows* - The following chart presents a summary of our cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities from continuing operations for the periods indicated:

![196](blmn-20260329_g2.jpg)

*Operating Activities* - The increase in net cash provided by operating activities during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 was primarily due to higher cash earnings partially offset by changes in working capital.

*Investing Activities* - Net cash used in investing activities during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026 was due to capital expenditures. Net cash provided by investing activities during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 was primarily due to proceeds from the Brazil Sale Transaction, net of taxes withheld, partially offset by capital expenditures and payments on foreign currency forward contracts.

**BLOOMIN' BRANDS, INC.**

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF**

**FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued**

*Financing Activities -* Net cash used in financing activities during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026 was primarily due to net payments on the revolving credit facility. Net cash used in financing activities during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 was primarily due to net payments on the revolving credit facility from the Brazil Sale Transaction proceeds.

*Financial Condition* - Following is a summary of our current assets, current liabilities and working capital (deficit) as of the periods indicated:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **(dollars in thousands)** | **MARCH 29, 2026** | **DECEMBER 28, 2025** |
| Current assets | $208804 | $269638 |
| Current liabilities | 799879 | 878646 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Working capital (deficit) | $(591075) | $(609008) |

---

Working capital (deficit) includes: (i) Unearned revenue primarily from unredeemed gift cards of $321.4 million and $377.9 million as of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, respectively, and (ii) current operating lease liabilities of $177.0 million and $176.3 million as of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, respectively, with the corresponding operating right-of-use assets recorded as non-current on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have, and in the future may continue to have, negative working capital balances (as is common for many restaurant companies). We operate successfully with negative working capital because cash collected on restaurant sales is typically received before payment is due on our current liabilities, and our inventory turnover rates require relatively low investment in inventories. Additionally, ongoing cash flows from restaurant operations and gift card sales are typically used to service debt obligations and to make capital expenditures.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our critical accounting estimates have not changed materially from those previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025.

**Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards**

See Note 1 - *Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation* of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a summary of new accounting standards.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk**

We are exposed to market risk from changes in commodity prices, labor inflation, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We believe that there have been no material changes in our market risk since December 28, 2025. See Part II, Item 7A., "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2025 for further information regarding market risk.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

We have established and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 29, 2026.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
