NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1.    Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of the Business - Bloomin’ Brands (“Bloomin’ Brands” or the “Company”) owns and operates casual, upscale casual and fine dining restaurants. OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC (“OSI”) is the Company’s primary operating entity. The Company’s restaurant portfolio has four concepts: 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 in which the Company has no direct investment 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 (“SEC”). 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. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary for fair financial statement presentation 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. 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 31, 2023.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted - In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” (“ASU No. 2023-07”) which requires disclosure of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the Company’s chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”). ASU No. 2023-07 also allows for multiple measures of segment profit (loss) if the CODM utilizes such measures to allocate resources or assess performance. ASU No. 2023-07 is effective for the Company beginning with the 2024 Form 10-K, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2023-07 will have on its disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” (“ASU No. 2023-09”) which expands existing income tax disclosures, including disaggregation of the Company’s effective income tax rate reconciliation table and income taxes paid disclosures. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective for the Company beginning with the 2025 Form 10-K, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2023-09 will have on its disclosures.

In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275, “The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors,” which requires registrants to include climate-related disclosures in their annual reports, including, but not limited to, material Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, climate-related financial metrics, and governance, oversight and risk management processes for material climate-related risks in their audited financial statements. The final rule also requires certain disclosures regarding expenses incurred in relation to severe weather events and other natural conditions. The disclosure requirements are first effective for the Company beginning with the 2026 Form 10-K. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this rule 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.

Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions - In connection with the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase, on February 29, 2024, the Company entered into partial unwind agreements with certain financial institutions (the “Derivative Counterparties”) relating to a portion of the convertible note hedge transactions (the “Note Hedge Early Termination Agreements”) and a portion of the warrant transactions (the “Warrant Early Termination Agreements” and together with the Note Hedge Early Termination Agreements, the “Early Termination Agreements”) that were previously entered into by the Company in connection with the issuance of the 2025 Notes. Pursuant to the Early Termination Agreements, the Derivative Counterparties made a termination payment to the Company which consisted of approximately $118.2 million in cash and 0.3 million shares of common stock and the Company made a termination payment to the Derivative Counterparties in an aggregate amount of approximately $102.2 million in cash. In connection with the Note Hedge Early Termination Agreements and the Warrant Early Termination Agreements, the Company recorded a $126.5 million increase and a $102.2 million decrease, respectively, to Additional paid-in capital during the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024. The Company also recorded a $8.3 million increase to Accumulated deficit in connection with the Note Hedge Early Termination Agreements.

The remaining warrants have a dilutive effect on the Company’s common stock to the extent that the price of its common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants. In connection with dividends paid during thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024, the strike price for the remaining warrants decreased to $15.47.

10.    Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchases - In February 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) canceled the remaining $57.5 million under the Company’s former share repurchase authorization and approved a new $350.0 million share repurchase authorization (the “2024 Share Repurchase Program”). The 2024 Share Repurchase Program includes capacity above the Company’s normal repurchase activity to provide flexibility in retiring the 2025 Notes at or prior to their May 2025 maturity. The 2024 Share Repurchase Program will expire on August 13, 2025.

On March 1, 2024, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”), in connection with the 2024 Share Repurchase Program, with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) to repurchase $220.0 million of the Company’s common stock.

Under the ASR Agreement, the Company made an aggregate payment of $220.0 million to Wells Fargo and received an aggregate initial delivery of approximately 6.5 million shares of common stock on March 4, 2024, representing approximately 80% of the total shares that were estimated to be repurchased under the ASR Agreement based on the price per share of common stock as of that date. The exact number of shares the Company repurchased under the ASR Agreement was based generally on the average of the daily volume-weighted average price per share of common stock during the repurchase period, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreement. On April 23, 2024, the Company received 1.4 million additional shares of common stock from Wells Fargo in connection with the final settlement of the ASR Agreement.

The Company funded the payment under the ASR Agreement, together with the cash portion of the amounts payable under the Exchange Agreements, primarily with borrowings under the revolving credit facility and net proceeds from the Early Termination Agreements.

As of March 31, 2024, $130.0 million remained available for repurchase under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program. Following is a summary of the shares repurchased during fiscal year 2024:

11.    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk - In March 2024 and December 2023, OSI entered into 11 interest rate swap agreements with ten counterparties (the “Swap Transactions”) to manage its exposure to fluctuations in variable interest rates. The Swap Transactions have an aggregate notional amount of $375.0 million and include one and two-year tenors with the following terms:

$375,000,000 4.52%
____________________
(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 $375.0 million of its outstanding indebtedness from the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“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 estimated $1.6 million of interest income will be reclassified to Interest expense, net over the next 12 months related to the Company’s Swap Transactions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) - Continued
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 31, 2024, all counterparties to the interest rate swaps performed in accordance with their contractual obligations.

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision 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 December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was in a net liability position, including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk, of $0.8 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions as of December 31, 2023, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $0.8 million.

13.    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 2Observable inputs available at measurement date other than quoted prices included in Level 1
Level 3Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data

Fair value of each class of financial instruments is determined based on the following:
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTMETHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS
Fixed income funds and Money market funds
Carrying value approximates fair value because maturities are less than three months.
Derivative instruments
The Company’s derivative instruments include interest rate swaps. 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 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 its 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:

Provision for income taxes$9,970 $14,761 
Effective income tax rate(13.8)%13.6 %

The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 includes the impact of nondeductible losses associated with the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase which, relative to a pre-tax book loss during the quarter, resulted in a negative effective income tax rate.

On January 24, 2024, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary received an unfavorable second level court ruling related to its ongoing litigation regarding its eligibility for tax exemptions under the Brazil tax legislation, that temporarily granted certain industries a 100% exemption from income tax (IRPJ and CSLL) and federal value added taxes (PIS and COFINS) for a five-year period. The Company will appeal this ruling, and believes that it will more likely than not prevail in this appeal and accordingly has not recorded any expense or liability for the disputed amounts.

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 (Loss) income before provision for income taxes.

The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 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 and the impact of nondeductible losses associated with the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase which, relative to a pre-tax book loss during the quarter, resulted in a negative effective income tax rate.

The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023 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 and benefits of Brazil tax legislation that include a temporary reduction in the Brazilian income tax rate from 34% to 0%.

Litigation and Other Matters - The Company recorded reserves of $9.5 million and $13.3 million for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, 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. These leases have varying terms, the latest of which expires in 2032. As of March 31, 2024, the undiscounted payments that the Company could be required to make in the event of non-payment by the primary lessees was $18.9 million. The present value of these potential payments discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of March 31, 2024 was $15.1 million. In the event of default, the indemnity clauses in the Company’s purchase and sale agreements generally govern its ability to pursue and recover damages incurred. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s recorded contingent lease liability was $4.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
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 31, 2024, we owned and operated 1,162 restaurants and franchised 289 restaurants across 46 states, Guam and 13 countries. We have four founder-inspired concepts: 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 31, 2024 includes the following:

•U.S. combined and Outback Steakhouse comparable restaurant sales of (1.6)% and (1.2)%, respectively;
•Decrease in Total revenues of (4.0)% as compared to the first quarter of 2023;
•Operating income and restaurant-level operating margins of 6.4% and 16.0%, respectively, as compared to 9.7% and 17.9%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2023;
•Operating income of $77.1 million as compared to $120.6 million in the first quarter of 2023; and
•Diluted loss per share of $(0.96) as compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.93 for the first quarter of 2023.

Reviewing Strategic Alternatives for Brazil Operations - On May 7, 2024, we announced that we are exploring and evaluating strategic alternatives for our Brazil operations that have the potential to maximize value for our shareholders, including but not limited to, a possible sale of the operations. The Board has retained BofA Securities, Inc. as its financial advisor.

We plan to proceed in a timely manner, but have not set a definitive timetable for completion of this process. There can be no assurance that this review will result in a transaction or other strategic alternative of any kind. We do not intend to make any further public comment regarding the review unless it determines that disclosure is appropriate or necessary.

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

•Average restaurant unit volumes—average sales (excluding gift card breakage and the benefit of value added tax exemptions in Brazil) per restaurant to measure changes in customer traffic, pricing and development of the brand.

•Comparable restaurant sales—year-over-year comparison of the change in sales volumes (excluding gift card breakage and the benefit of value added tax exemptions in Brazil) 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.

•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.

•Restaurant-level operating margin, Income from operations, Net (loss) income and Diluted (loss) 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, overall and particularly within our two segments. 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
23
Table of Contents

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
advertising expenses) represent, in each case as such items are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. The following categories of revenue and operating expenses are not included in restaurant-level operating income and corresponding margin because we do not consider them reflective of operating performance at the restaurant-level within a period:

(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;
(ii)Depreciation and amortization, which, although substantially all of which is related to restaurant-level assets, represent historical sunk costs rather than cash outlays for the restaurants;
(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
(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 support the operations of our restaurants and may materially impact our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) 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 (loss) 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.

•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.
    
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.

For the period ended March 31, 2024$1,179.5 
________________
(1)The thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023 included high-volume days between December 26th and December 31st and the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 excluded these days. This shift had an estimated $16.5 million negative impact on comparable restaurant sales.
(2)Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023, we are once again subject to the value added taxes for which we were previously exempt under the Brazil tax legislation. See Note 14 - Income Taxes of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details regarding value added tax exemptions in connection with Brazil tax legislation.

The decrease in Restaurant sales during the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to: (i) lower comparable restaurant sales including the impact of the one-week shift in the fiscal calendar, (ii) the closure of 57 restaurants since December 25, 2022 and (iii) value added tax exemptions in Brazil during 2023. The decrease in Restaurant sales was partially offset by the opening of 53 new restaurants not included in our comparable restaurant sales base and the effect of foreign currency translation of the Brazilian Real relative to the U.S. dollar.

____________________
(1)As a percentage of Restaurant sales.

Thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 as compared to thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023

Food and beverage cost decreased as a percentage of Restaurant sales primarily due to 1.3% from increases in average check per person driven by an increase in menu pricing and 0.7% from cost saving and productivity initiatives. These decreases were partially offset by increases as a percentage of Restaurant sales of 0.6% from commodity inflation and 0.4% from unfavorable product mix.

Labor and other related expense increased as a percentage of Restaurant sales primarily due to 2.0% from higher hourly and field management labor costs, primarily due to wage rate inflation, partially offset by a decrease of 0.5% from an increase in average check per person.

Other restaurant operating expense increased as a percentage of Restaurant sales primarily due to 0.9% from higher restaurant-level operating and supply expenses, primarily due to inflation, and 0.7% from higher advertising expense, partially offset by a decrease of 0.2% from certain cost saving and productivity initiatives.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to restaurant development and technology projects, partially offset by a decrease due to restaurant closures under the 2023 Closure Initiative.

General and administrative expense increased primarily due to higher severance partially offset by a decrease in employee stock-based compensation.

BLOOMIN’ BRANDS, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
Provision for impaired assets and restaurant closings increased primarily due to charges in connection with the 2023 Closure Initiative within the U.S. segment.

Income from operations during the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 includes a net operating margin decrease of approximately 0.3% attributable to the lapping of the 2023 Brazil value added tax exemptions (PIS and COFINS). See Note 14 - Income Taxes of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding Brazil tax legislation.

Loss on extinguishment of debt during the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 was in connection with the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase, which is described in further detail within Note 9 - Convertible Senior Notes of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Provision for income taxes for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 includes the impact of nondeductible losses associated with the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase which, relative to a pre-tax book loss during the quarter, resulted in a negative effective income tax rate.

Income from operations

U.S. - The decrease in U.S. Income from operations generated during the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023 was primarily due to: (i) lower restaurant sales, as discussed above, (ii) higher labor, operating and commodity costs, primarily due to inflation, (iii) impairment and closure costs in connection with the 2023 Closure Initiative, (iv) higher advertising expense and (v) unfavorable product mix. These decreases were offset by an increase in average check per person and the impact of certain cost saving and productivity initiatives.

International - The decrease in international Income from operations generated during the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023 was primarily due to: (i) higher operating and labor costs, primarily due to inflation, (ii) lapping value added tax exemptions in Brazil during 2023, (iii) a decline in customer traffic and (iv) commodity inflation. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in average check per person.

(3)Includes the tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments determined based on the nature of the underlying non-GAAP adjustments and their relevant jurisdictional tax rates for all periods presented. The primary difference between GAAP and adjusted effective income tax rates relates to certain non-deductible losses and other tax costs associated with the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase.
(4)Due to a GAAP net loss, antidilutive securities are excluded from diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024. However, considering the adjusted net income position, adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding incorporates 4,031 dilutive securities, including 3,132 for outstanding warrants. Adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding was calculated including the benefit of our convertible notes hedge.

System-Wide Sales - 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. 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 2 - Revenue Recognition of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of March 31, 2024, we had $131.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $57.5 million was held by foreign affiliates. The international jurisdictions in which we have significant cash do not have any known restrictions that would prohibit repatriation.

As of March 31, 2024, we had aggregate undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $46.7 million that may be repatriated to the U.S. without additional material U.S. federal income tax. These amounts are not considered indefinitely reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
As of March 31, 2024, we had $346.7 million in available unused borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, net of letters of credit of $18.3 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. See Note 12 - Long-term Debt, Net in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for further information.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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.

2025 Notes Partial Repurchase - On February 29, 2024, we and the Noteholders entered into the Exchange Agreements in which the Noteholders agreed to exchange $83.6 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 2025 Notes for approximately 7.5 million shares of our common stock and $3.3 million in cash, including accrued interest.

Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions - In connection with the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase, we entered into the Early Termination Agreements with the Derivative Counterparties. Upon settlement, we received approximately $118.2 million in cash and 0.3 million shares of common stock from the Derivative Counterparties and paid $102.2 million in cash to the Derivative Counterparties during the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024.

See Note 9 - Convertible Senior Notes of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details regarding the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase and related Early Termination Agreements.

Use of Cash

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, development of new restaurants, remodeling or relocating older restaurants, investments in technology, dividend payments and share repurchases.

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 $270 million to $290 million in 2024. 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.

Dividends and Share Repurchases - In April 2024, our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.24 per share, payable on May 31, 2024. Future dividend payments are dependent on our earnings, financial condition, capital expenditure requirements, surplus and other factors that our Board considers relevant, as well as continued compliance with the financial covenants in our debt agreements.

In February 2024, our Board canceled the remaining $57.5 million under our former share repurchase authorization and approved a new $350.0 million share repurchase authorization. The 2024 Share Repurchase Program includes capacity above our normal share repurchases activity to provide flexibility in retiring our 2025 Notes at or prior to their May 2025 maturity. The 2024 Share Repurchase Program will expire on August 13, 2025.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
On March 1, 2024, we entered into the ASR Agreement, in connection with our previously announced 2024 Share Repurchase Program, with Wells Fargo to repurchase $220.0 million of our common stock. Under the ASR Agreement, we made an aggregate payment of $220.0 million to Wells Fargo and received an aggregate initial delivery of approximately 6.5 million shares of common stock on March 4, 2024, representing approximately 80% of the total shares that are estimated to be repurchased under the ASR Agreement based on the price per share of common stock on that date. On April 23, 2024, we received 1.4 million additional shares of common stock from Wells Fargo in connection with the final settlement of the ASR Agreement.

See Note 10 - Stockholders’ Equity of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details regarding the ASR Agreement.

As of March 31, 2024, $130.0 million remained available for repurchase under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program.

Following is a summary of dividends and share repurchases from fiscal year 2023 through March 31, 2024:
(dollars in thousands)DIVIDENDS PAIDSHARE REPURCHASESTOTAL
Fiscal year 2023$83,742 $70,000 $153,742

________________
(1)Excludes $44.0 million paid in March 2024 for the repurchase of 1.4 million shares that settled on April 23, 2024 in connection with the ASR Agreement. Also excludes $0.4 million of fees recorded in Additional paid-in capital related to repurchases under the ASR Agreement.

Summary of Cash Flows and Financial Condition

Cash Flows - The following table presents a summary of our cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated:
THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED
(dollars in thousands)MARCH 31, 2024MARCH 26, 2023
Net cash provided by operating activities$73,786 $189,668 
Net cash used in investing activities(64,585)(62,945)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities8,758 (116,987)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents(668)(30)
Net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$17,291 $9,706 

Operating Activities - The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities during the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023 was primarily due to changes in working capital and lower net earnings.

Financing Activities - The net cash provided by financing activities during the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 was due to net draws on the revolving credit facility exceeding cash used to repurchase common stock and net cash received from the Early Termination Agreements. Net cash used in financing activities during thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023 was primarily due to net repayments on our revolving credit facility.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
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 31, 2024DECEMBER 31, 2023
Current assets$298,172 $343,314 
Current liabilities894,057 1,002,335 
Working capital (deficit)$(595,885)$(659,021)

Working capital (deficit) includes: (i) Unearned revenue primarily from unredeemed gift cards of $320.0 million and $381.9 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and (ii) current operating lease liabilities of $171.2 million and $175.4 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

For a description of recently issued Financial Accounting Standards that we adopted during the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 and, that are applicable to us and likely to have material effect on our consolidated financial statements, but have not yet been adopted, 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.

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.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase transaction closed on March 5, 2024.

During the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024, certain holders of our 2025 Notes elected to convert $0.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes for a combination of $0.5 million in cash and 26,031 shares of common stock. In connection with this conversion, we exercised our rights under certain convertible note hedge transactions and received a proportionate amount of our common stock during the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024.
