**1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION**

References to "Brinker," the "Company," "we," "us," and "our" in this Form 10-Q refer to Brinker International, Inc. and its subsidiaries and any predecessor companies of Brinker International, Inc. Our Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) as of December 24, 2025 and June 25, 2025, and for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended December 24, 2025 and December 25, 2024, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

We own, develop, operate and franchise the Chili's<sup>®</sup> Grill & Bar ("Chili's") and Maggiano's Little Italy<sup>®</sup> ("Maggiano's") restaurant brands. As of December 24, 2025, we owned, operated or franchised 1,627 restaurants, consisting of 1,160 Company-owned restaurants and 467 franchised restaurants, located in the United States, 27 other countries and two United States territories. Our restaurant brands, Chili's and Maggiano's, are both operating segments and reporting units.

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) is in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), and the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses in the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary to fairly state the interim operating results, financial position and cash flows for the respective periods. However, these operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our June 25, 2025 Form 10-K. We believe the disclosures are sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes. All amounts in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) are presented in millions unless otherwise specified.

**Foreign Currency Translation**

The Foreign currency translation adjustment represents the unrealized impact of translating the financial statements of our Canadian restaurants from their respective functional currency (Canadian dollars) to United States dollars and are reported as a component of Comprehensive income and recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on our Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited).

**Recently Issued Accounting Standards**

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about a company's effective tax rate reconciliation and requires disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, which require us to adopt the provisions in our fiscal 2026 Form 10-K. The amendments should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. Management does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires, for each relevant expense caption on the income statement, detailed disclosure amounts for purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. In addition, this ASU requires companies to include amounts already required by GAAP in the same disclosure, provide a qualitative description of remaining amounts not separately disaggregated, and disclose the amount of total selling expenses along with the companies' definition of selling expenses. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, which would require us to adopt the provisions in our fiscal 2028 Form 10-K. The amendments should be

applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This ASU modernizes outdated guidance for internal-use software costs to reflect current development practices, including agile and iterative methods, replacing the previous waterfall-based model. The amendments eliminate the requirement to classify costs by development stages (preliminary, application development, and post-implementation) and introduce a principles-based threshold for capitalization. Under the new guidance, capitalization begins when management authorizes and commits funding for the project and it is probable the project will be completed and the software will perform its intended function (probable-to-complete threshold). The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, which would require us to adopt the provisions as of the beginning of our fiscal year 2029. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

**2. REVENUE RECOGNITION**

**Deferred Franchise and Development Fees** 

Our deferred franchise and development fees consist of the unrecognized fees received from franchisees. Recognition of these fees in subsequent periods is based on satisfaction of the contractual performance obligations of the active contracts with franchisees. We also expect to earn subsequent period royalties and advertising fees related to our franchise contracts; however, due to the variability and uncertainty of these future revenues which depend upon a sales-based measure, these future revenues are not yet estimable as the performance obligations remain unsatisfied. Deferred franchise and development fees are classified within Other accrued liabilities for the current portion expected to be recognized within the next 12 months, and Other liabilities for the long-term portion in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited).

The following table reflects the changes in deferred franchise and development fees between June 25, 2025 and December 24, 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Deferred Franchise and Development Fees** |
| Balance as of June 25, 2025 | $9.8 |
| Additions | 0.2 |
| Amount recognized to Franchise revenues | (0.7) |
| Balance as of December 24, 2025 | $9.3 |

---

The following table illustrates franchise and development fees expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that were unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of December 24, 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Fiscal Year** | **Franchise and Development Fees Revenue Recognition** |
| Remainder of 2026 | $0.4 |
| 2027 | 0.8 |
| 2028 | 0.7 |
| 2029 | 0.6 |
| 2030 | 0.5 |

**Deferred Gift Card Revenues**

Total deferred revenues related to our gift cards include the full value of unredeemed gift card balances less recognized breakage and the unamortized portion of third party fees. The following table reflects the changes in the Gift card liability between June 25, 2025 and December 24, 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Gift Card Liability** |
| Balance as of June 25, 2025 | $57.2 |
| Gift card sales | 75.0 |
| Gift card redemptions recognized to Company sales | (49.3) |
| Gift card breakage recognized to Company sales | (4.6) |
| Other | (1.4) |
| Balance as of December 24, 2025 | $76.9 |

**3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS** 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under market conditions. Fair value measurements are categorized in three levels based on the types of significant inputs used, as follows:

---

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

---

**Financial Instruments**

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts because of the short maturity of these items.

The carrying amount of debt outstanding related to our revolving credit facility approximates fair value as the interest rate on this instrument approximates current market rates (Level 2). The fair values of our note are based on quoted market prices and are considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.

The carrying amounts of the note, which are net of unamortized debt issuance costs, and fair value are as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **December 24, 2025** | **December 24, 2025** | **June 25, 2025** | **June 25, 2025** |
| | **Carrying Amount** | **Fair Value** | **Carrying Amount** | **Fair Value** |
| 8.25% notes | $346.4 | $371.1 | $346.0 | $372.3 |

---

**Non-Financial Assets**

We review the carrying amounts of non-financial assets, primarily long-lived property and equipment, finance lease assets, operating lease assets, reacquired franchise rights, goodwill and transferable liquor licenses annually or when events or circumstances indicate that the fair value may not substantially exceed the carrying amount. We determine the fair values of property and equipment, including finance lease assets, operating lease assets and reacquired franchise rights based on Level 3 fair value measurements. The fair values of transferable liquor licenses are based on prices in the open market for licenses in the same or similar jurisdictions and are categorized as Level 2. We record an impairment charge for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value. Any impairment charges are included in Other (gains) and charges in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Unaudited). During the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended December 24, 2025 and December 25, 2024, no indicators of impairment were identified.

Intangibles, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited) includes both indefinite-lived intangible assets such as transferable liquor licenses and definite-lived intangible assets such as reacquired franchise rights. Accumulated

**5. LEASES** 

We typically lease our restaurant facilities through ground leases (where we lease land only, but construct the building and improvements) or retail leases (where we lease the land/retail space and building). In addition to our restaurant facilities, we also lease our corporate headquarters location and certain equipment.

The components of lease expenses included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Unaudited) were as follows:

**6. DEBT**

Long-term debt consists of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **December 24,<br>2025** | **June 25,<br>2025** |
| Revolving credit facility | $20.0 | $— |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total long-term debt, less current portion | $451.3 | $426.0 |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> Current installments of long-term debt consist of finance leases and are recorded within Other accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited). Refer to Note 4 - Accrued Liabilities for further details.

**Revolving Credit Facility**

In the twenty-six week period ended December 24, 2025, net borrowings of $20.0 million were drawn on our revolving credit facility. Additionally, availability was reduced by a $30.1 million letter of credit as of December 24, 2025. Refer to Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies for further information about our letters of credit. As of December 24, 2025, $949.9 million of credit was available under the revolving credit facility.

The $1.0 billion revolving credit facility matures on May 1, 2030 and bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.25% to 2.00% and an undrawn commitment fee of 0.20% to 0.30%, both based on a function of our debt-to-cash-flow ratio. As of December 24, 2025, our interest rate was 4.98% consisting of SOFR of 3.73% plus the applicable margin of 1.25%.

**Financial Covenants**

The indenture for our 8.25% notes contains certain covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations and restrictions on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the indentures) to (i) create liens on Principal Property (as defined in the indenture) and (ii) merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into any other person or sell, transfer, assign, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their property. These covenants are subject to a number of important conditions, qualifications, exceptions, and limitations.

Our debt agreements contain various financial covenants that, among other things, require the maintenance of certain leverage ratios. As of December 24, 2025, we were in compliance with our covenants pursuant to the $1.0 billion revolving credit facility and under the terms of the indentures governing our 8.25% notes.

**7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

**Lease Commitments and Guarantees**

We have, in certain cases, divested brands or sold restaurants to franchisees and have not been released from lease guarantees for the related restaurants. As of December 24, 2025 and June 25, 2025, we have outstanding lease guarantees or are secondarily liable for an estimated $10.1 million and $11.9 million, respectively. These amounts represent the maximum known potential liability of rent payments under the leases, but outstanding rent payments can exist outside of our knowledge as a result of the landlord and tenant relationship being between two third parties. These leases have been assigned to the buyers and expire at the end of the respective lease terms, which range from fiscal 2026 through fiscal 2035. In the event of default under a lease by an owner of a divested brand, the indemnity and default clauses in our agreements with such third parties and applicable laws govern our ability to pursue and recover amounts we may pay on behalf of such parties. We have received notices of default and have

been named a party in lawsuits pertaining to some of these leases in circumstances where the current lessee did not pay its rent obligations and management is closely monitoring any exposure.

**Letters of Credit**

We provide letters of credit to various insurers to collateralize obligations for outstanding claims. As of December 24, 2025, we had $34.1 million in undrawn standby letters of credit outstanding. All standby letters of credit are renewable within the next 8 months.

**Legal Proceedings**

Evaluating contingencies related to litigation is a process involving judgment on the potential outcome of future events, and the ultimate resolution of litigated claims may differ from our current analysis. Accordingly, we review the adequacy of accruals and disclosures pertaining to litigated matters each quarter in consultation with legal counsel and we assess the probability and range of possible losses associated with contingencies for potential accrual in the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

We are engaged in various legal proceedings and have certain unresolved claims pending. Liabilities have been established based on our best estimates of our potential liability in certain of these matters. Based upon consultation with legal counsel, management is of the opinion that there are no matters pending or threatened which are expected to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

**8. INCOME TAXES** 

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Twenty-Six Week Periods Ended** | **Twenty-Six Week Periods Ended** |
| | **December 24,<br>2025** | **December 25,<br>2024** |
| Effective income tax rate | 14.2% | 14.7% |

---

The federal statutory tax rate was 21.0% for the twenty-six week periods ended December 24, 2025 and December 25, 2024.

The change in the effective income tax rate in the twenty-six week period ended December 24, 2025 to the twenty-six week period ended December 25, 2024 is primarily due to significantly higher excess tax benefits from stock based compensation of $11.9 million in fiscal 2026, partially offset by higher Income before income taxes and resulting deleverage of the FICA tip tax credit.

**9. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY** 

**Share Repurchases**

Our Board of Directors approved a $400.0 million increase in our share repurchase program in August 2025 allowing for a total available authority of $507.0 million. Our share repurchase program is used to return capital to shareholders and to minimize the dilution to our shares outstanding that results from equity compensation grants. We evaluate potential share repurchases under our plan based on several factors, including our cash position, share price, operational liquidity, proceeds from divestitures, borrowings and planned investment and financing needs. Repurchased shares are reflected as an increase in Treasury stock within Shareholder's equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited).

In the twenty-six week period ended December 24, 2025, we repurchased 1.8 million shares of our common stock for $235.0 million, including 1.5 million shares purchased for $192.0 million as part of our share repurchase program and 0.3 million shares purchased from team members to satisfy tax withholding obligations on the vesting of restricted shares. These withheld shares of common stock are not considered common stock repurchases under our authorized common stock repurchase plan. As of December 24, 2025, approximately $315.0 million of share repurchase authorization remains under the current share repurchase program.

**10. NET INCOME PER SHARE** 

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing Net income by the Basic weighted average shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the calculation of Diluted net income per share, the Basic weighted average shares outstanding is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted share awards. Stock options and restricted share awards with an anti-dilutive effect are not included in the Diluted net income per share calculation. Basic weighted average shares outstanding are reconciled to Diluted weighted average shares outstanding as follows:

**ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

**General**

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is intended to help you understand our Company, our operations and our current operating environment. For an understanding of the significant factors that influenced our performance during the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended December 24, 2025 and December 25, 2024. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this quarterly report. All amounts within the MD&A are presented in millions unless otherwise specified.

**Overview**

We own, develop, operate and franchise the Chili's<sup>®</sup> Grill & Bar ("Chili's") and Maggiano's Little Italy<sup>®</sup> ("Maggiano's") restaurant brands. As of December 24, 2025, we owned, operated or franchised 1,627 restaurants, consisting of 1,160 Company-owned restaurants and 467 franchised restaurants, located in the United States, 27 other countries and two United States territories. Our operating segments are Chili's and Maggiano's.

***Operating Environment***

Geopolitical and other macroeconomic events have led, and in the future may lead to, wage inflation, staffing challenges, product cost inflation (inclusive of tariffs) and/or disruptions in the supply chain that impact our restaurants' ability to obtain the products needed to support their operation. Such events could also negatively affect consumer spending potentially reducing guest traffic and/or reducing the average amount guests spend in our restaurants.

***Operations Strategy***

We are committed to strategies and a Company culture that we believe will grow sales, increase profits, bring back guests and engage team members. Our strategies and culture are intended to strengthen our position in casual dining and grow our core business over time. Our primary brand strategy is to make our guests feel special through great food and quality service so that they return to our restaurants.

*Chili's -* Our strategy is to make everyone feel special through a fun atmosphere, delicious food and drinks and Chilihead hospitality. We are making work at Chili's easier, more fun and more rewarding for our team members so that they are more engaged and provide a better experience for our guests. One way we have done this is by eliminating tasks that were unnecessary and did not add value to our guests. We have also simplified our menu to focus on core equities we believe can help grow sales—burgers, fajitas, Chicken Crispers<sup>®</sup>, margaritas, and the Triple Dipper<sup>®</sup>. Our team members can make our core menu items better and more consistently because we have fewer menu items that need to be perfected.

We have a flexible platform of value offerings at both lunch and dinner that we believe is compelling to our guests. Our "3 for Me"<sup>®</sup> platform allows guests to enjoy a non-alcoholic drink, an appetizer and certain entrées starting at just $10.99. We believe our value offerings will continue to be an important traffic driver in the current economic circumstances and we will continue to highlight this value in our marketing efforts. We have increased menu pricing in other areas in light of the inflationary challenges and we have also improved menu offerings and merchandising to incentivize our guests to purchase higher priced items.

In addition, Chili's has focused on a seamless digital experience as our guests' preferences and expectations around dining convenience have evolved in recent years. Investments in our technology and off-premise options have enabled us to provide a faster, more convenient dine-in experience and to offer more To-Go and delivery options for our guests. Our To-Go menu is available through the Chili's mobile app, chilis.com, our delivery partners DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub, Google Food Ordering or by calling the restaurant directly.

In dining rooms, we use tabletop devices with functionality for guests to pay at the table, provide guest feedback and interact with our My Chili's rewards program. Our My Chili's rewards program offers free chips and salsa or a non-alcoholic beverage to members any time they visit our restaurants and allows us to communicate and advertise to our guests through email and text. Our servers use handheld tablets to place orders for our guests, increasing the efficiency of our team members and allowing orders to reach our kitchen quicker for better service to our guests.

*Maggiano's -* At Maggiano's, the focus is executing to improve performance and operations through the Company's Back to Maggiano's strategy. The strategy includes in-flight initiatives across food, service and atmosphere with the aim of revitalizing the brand's core, serving Italian American favorites with warm and attentive service. While our dining rooms support the majority of our business, we also offer carry-out and delivery options through partnerships with delivery service providers that have made our restaurants more accessible to guests. Our restaurants also have banquet rooms to host large special events, particularly during the holiday season in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year.

*Franchise Partnerships -* During the twenty-six week period ended December 24, 2025, there were 10 new franchise restaurant openings and one new development agreement. We plan to strategically pursue expansion of Chili's internationally through development agreements with new and existing franchise partners.

*Company Development -* The following table details the number of restaurant openings during the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended December 24, 2025 and December 25, 2024, respectively, total full year projected openings in fiscal 2026 and the total restaurants open at each period end:

---

Additionally, the Company is relocating one Maggiano's restaurant with an expected opening in the current year.

During the thirteen week period ended December 24, 2025, we purchased the land and buildings for one restaurant that was previously leased.

<sup>(1)</sup> Comparable Restaurant Sales include all restaurants that have been in operation for more than 18 full months. Restaurants temporarily closed 14 days or more are excluded from Comparable Restaurant Sales. Percentage amounts are calculated based on the comparable periods year-over-year.

<sup>(2)</sup> Mix-Shift is calculated as the year-over-year percentage change in Company sales resulting from the change in menu items ordered by guests.

<sup>(3)</sup> Restaurant Capacity is measured by sales weeks and is calculated based on comparable periods year-over-year. No adjustments have been made to capacity for temporary closures.

<sup>(4)</sup> Franchise sales generated by franchisees are not included in Total revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Unaudited); however, we generate royalty revenues and advertising fees based on franchisee revenues, where applicable. We believe presenting Franchise Comparable Restaurant Sales provides investors relevant information regarding total brand performance.

<sup>(5)</sup> Chili's domestic Comparable Restaurant Sales percentages are derived from sales generated by Company-owned and franchise-operated Chili's restaurants in the United States.

<sup>(6)</sup> System-wide Comparable Restaurant Sales are derived from sales generated by Chili's and Maggiano's Company-owned and franchise-operated restaurants.

---

The federal statutory tax rate was 21.0% for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended December 24, 2025 and December 25, 2024.

The change in the effective income tax rate in the thirteen week period ended December 24, 2025 to the thirteen week period ended December 25, 2024 is primarily due to higher Income before income taxes and resulting deleverage of the FICA tip tax credit. The change in the effective income tax rate in the twenty-six week period ended December 24, 2025 to the twenty-six week period ended December 25, 2024 is primarily due to significantly higher excess tax benefits from stock based compensation of $11.9 million in fiscal 2026, partially offset by higher Income before income taxes and resulting deleverage of the FICA tip tax credit.

H.R. 1., also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), was enacted on July 4, 2025. The legislation included several provisions that impact the timing and magnitude of certain tax deductions, including restoring 100% bonus depreciation for qualifying property. We have applied the key provisions impacting our financial position for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended December 24, 2025, and will continue to assess the potential impacts on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as additional guidance from the OBBBA is issued.

| Net cash used in financing activities | $(222.0) | $(225.0) | $3.0 |

---

Net cash used in financing activities decreased slightly primarily due to a decrease in net repayments of long-term debt as a result of the prior year payoff of our $350.0 million 5.00% notes, offset by an increase in share repurchase activity in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025.

*Debt*

During the twenty-six week period ended December 24, 2025, net borrowings of $20.0 million were drawn on the revolving credit facility. Additionally, availability was reduced by a $30.1 million letter of credit as of December 24, 2025. Refer to Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies for further information about our letters of credit. As of December 24, 2025, $949.9 million of credit was available under the revolving credit facility.

**31**

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2eb19d3316494223a13e59a455eb925e_7)</u>**

Our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility, as amended, matures on May 1, 2030 and bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.25% to 2.00% and an undrawn commitment fee of 0.20% to 0.30%, both based on a function of our debt-to-cash-flow ratio. As of December 24, 2025, our interest rate was 4.98% consisting of SOFR of 3.73% plus the applicable margin of 1.25%.

As of December 24, 2025, we were in compliance with our covenants pursuant to the $1.0 billion revolving credit facility and under the terms of the indentures governing our 8.25% notes. We expect to remain in compliance with our covenants during the remainder of fiscal 2026.

*Share Repurchase Program*

Our Board of Directors approved a $400.0 million increase in our share repurchase program in August 2025 allowing for a total available authority of $507.0 million. Our share repurchase program is used to return capital to shareholders and to minimize the dilution to our shares outstanding that results from equity compensation grants. We evaluate potential share repurchases under our plan based on several factors, including our cash position, share price, operational liquidity, proceeds from divestitures, borrowings and planned investment and financing needs. Repurchased shares are reflected as an increase in Treasury stock within Shareholder's equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited).

In the twenty-six week period ended December 24, 2025, we repurchased 1.8 million shares of our common stock for $235.0 million, including 1.5 million shares purchased for $192.0 million as part of our share repurchase program and 0.3 million shares purchased from team members to satisfy tax withholding obligations on the vesting of restricted shares. These withheld shares of common stock are not considered common stock repurchases under our authorized common stock repurchase plan. As of December 24, 2025, approximately $315.0 million of share repurchase authorization remains under the current share repurchase program.

***Cash Flow Outlook***

Based on the current level of operations, we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, coupled with cash generated from operations and availability under our existing revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet our capital expenditure and working capital needs for at least the next twelve months.

***Future Commitments and Contractual Obligations***

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we entered into long-term purchase obligations for various marketing programs, primarily media purchases. Payments remaining under these contracts are $5.5 million in fiscal 2026, $21.2 million in fiscal 2027, $21.1 million in fiscal 2028, and $4.4 million in fiscal 2029.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts 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 June 25, 2025.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements** 

The impact of recent accounting pronouncements can be found at Note 1 - Basis of Presentation in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q report.

**ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

**Interest Rate Risk**

The terms of our revolving credit facility require us to pay interest on outstanding borrowings at SOFR plus an applicable margin based on a function of our debt-to-cash flow ratio. As of December 24, 2025, $20.0 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility. We estimate that a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the

**32**

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2eb19d3316494223a13e59a455eb925e_7)</u>**

current interest rate on the outstanding balance of this variable rate financial instrument as of December 24, 2025 would result in an additional $0.2 million of annual interest expense.

**Commodity Price Risk**

We purchase food and other commodities for use in our operations based on market prices established with our suppliers. While our purchasing commitments partially mitigate the risk of such fluctuations, there is no assurance that supply and demand factors such as disease, inclement weather, tariffs, or recent geopolitical unrest, will not cause the prices of the commodities used in our restaurant operations to fluctuate. The aggregate impact of these and other factors contributed to cost inflation in recent years. Additionally, if there is a time lag between increasing commodity prices and our ability to increase menu prices or if we believe a commodity price increase to be short in duration and we choose not to pass on the cost increases, our short-term financial results could be negatively affected.

**ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

**EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

**INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING** 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the thirteen week period ended December 24, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Information regarding legal proceedings is incorporated by reference from Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q report.

**ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS**

It is not possible to predict or identify all risk factors.

Therefore, the risks identified are not intended to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties.

There have been no material changes in the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2025.
