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 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. 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 29, 2024.
Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted - 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, and 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. 2023-09 will have on its disclosures.
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 the Company beginning with the 2027 Form 10-K, with early adoption permitted, and 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.
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 (loss).
2. Discontinued Operations
On December 30, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Seller”) completed the sale of 67% of the ownership interest in its business in Brazil (the “Disposal Group”) to a fund managed by an affiliate of Vinci Partners Investments Ltd. (the “Buyer”) (the “Brazil Sale Transaction”). Following the closing, the Brazil restaurants began operating as unconsolidated franchisees.
The aggregate consideration paid to the Seller consisted of 67% of the enterprise valuation of the Disposal Group in the amount of R$2.06 billion Brazilian Reais, which equaled R$1.4 billion Brazilian Reais (approximately $225.3 million in U.S. Dollars based on the exchange rate on the Closing Date), subject to customary adjustments, and withholding for Brazilian taxes (the “Purchase Price”). On December 30, 2024, the Company received cash proceeds, net of withheld income taxes, of $103.9 million, in U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate on the Closing Date, representing 52% of the Purchase Price. The proceeds were applied to the Company’s revolving credit facility during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025. The second installment payment, representing 48% of the Purchase Price, is due on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (based on the exchange rate on the date of payment) and will generate interest income based on the interbank deposit rate in Brazil until paid.
The sale represents a strategic shift to a primarily franchised model for the Company’s international operations. The assets and liabilities of the Disposal Group were classified as held for sale on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 29, 2024. For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, all sales, direct costs and expenses and income taxes attributable to restaurants classified as discontinued operations have been aggregated to a single caption titled Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for all periods presented.
As of the Closing Date, the fair value of the Company’s retained interest was $59.9 million based on the proportional enterprise valuation of the Disposal Group, adjusted for debt used by the Buyer to fund a portion of the Purchase Price and to be pushed down to the operating entity subsequent to the second installment payment. See Note 3 - Equity Method Investment for additional details regarding the Company’s retained interest in its Brazil operations.
Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) includes the following for the periods indicated:

(1)The thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 include $1.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of net foreign currency translation gains on contingent consideration assets and indemnification liabilities, as discussed below.
Contingent Consideration Assets and Indemnification Liabilities - On the Closing Date, the Company recognized contingent consideration assets of $29.3 million, primarily judicial deposits, and indemnification liabilities of $6.9 million, primarily labor and tax exposures, within Other assets, net and Other long-term liabilities, net, respectively, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet in connection with the Brazil Sale Transaction. As of June 29, 2025, the Company’s balance of contingent consideration assets and indemnification liabilities, which are denominated in Brazilian Reais, increased to $33.1 million and $7.8 million, respectively, as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. All post-closing adjustments related to contingent consideration assets and indemnification liabilities will be reflected in discontinued operations.
The Company retained a 33% interest in the franchisee of the Company’s restaurants in Brazil subsequent to the sale, which is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. To ensure timely reporting, the Company records the results of the equity method investment in Brazil on a calendar basis one-month lag.
As of June 29, 2025, the carrying value of the Company’s equity method investment was $61.7 million and is recorded in Equity method investment on its Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company’s proportionate share of net loss from its equity interest was $1.8 millionand $3.1 millionfor the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, respectively, and is recorded within Loss from equity method investment, net of tax in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

8. Supplemental Balance Sheet Information
Other current assets, net, consisted of the following as of the periods indicated:
Goodwill and Intangible Assets - The Company performs its annual assessment for impairment of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets during its second fiscal quarter. During the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025, the Company performed a quantitative impairment analysis due to the recent decline in the Company’s market capitalization, while its 2024 assessment was qualitative. In connection with these assessments, the Company did not record any impairment charges.
The goodwill analysis indicated that all reporting units had fair values that exceeded their carrying values. However, the Outback Steakhouse and Bonefish Grill reporting units had fair values that decreased to approximately 10% above their respective carrying values. The fair values for the Outback Steakhouse and Bonefish Grill reporting units decreased primarily due to lower cash flow estimates, increased discount rates, lower market multiples, and additionally for Bonefish Grill, a lower long-term growth rate, compared to the last quantitative impairment analysis performed during the quarter ended June 25, 2023.
The quantitative impairment analysis for indefinite-lived intangible assets indicated that all trade names had fair values exceeding their carrying values; however, the Outback Steakhouse trade name’s fair value decreased to approximately 15% above its carrying value. Similar to the goodwill analysis, the fair value of the Outback Steakhouse trade name decreased primarily due to lower projected system-wide sales and an increased discount rate.
Fair value determinations require considerable judgement and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates and market factors.Key assumptions include cash flow estimates (including sales and operating profit), long-term growth rates, discount rates, royalty rates, market multiples and other market factors. Sales declines, unplanned increases in commodity or labor costs, decreases to the market multiples, increases in discount rates, deterioration in overall economic conditions and challenges in the restaurant industry or any such event may impact the Company’s fair value determinations and may result in future impairment charges. It is possible that changes in circumstances or changes in assumptions and estimates could result in impairment of the Company’s goodwill or other intangible assets. Further, as a result of the decreased fair values, the Outback Steakhouse and Bonefish Grill reporting units and the Outback Steakhouse trade name are at a higher risk of future impairment.

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 that include one and two-year tenors. The remaining Swap Transactions have an aggregate notional amount of $275.0 million with the following terms:

(1)The weighted average fixed interest rate excludes the term SOFR adjustment and interest rate spread described below.
In connection with the remaining Swap Transactions, the Company effectively converted $275.0 million of its outstanding indebtedness from 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 $0.7 million of interest expense will be reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) to Interest expense, net over the next 12 months related to the Swap Transactions.
The following table presents the fair value and classification of the Company’s swap agreements as of the periods indicated:

____________________
(1)See Note 13 - 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 June 29, 2025, 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. If the Company had breached any of these provisions as of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the Swap Transactions at their termination value of $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively. As of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company has not posted any collateral related to the Swap Transactions.
Non-Designated Hedges
During the fourth quarter of 2024, 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. As of June 29, 2025, the Company had R$720.0 million Brazilian Reais (approximately $130.6 million U.S. Dollars) of outstanding notional amounts related to its foreign currency forward contracts. The asset related to the foreign exchange forward contracts as of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024 is not material as they are short term and typically mature monthly. As of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company has not posted any collateral related to the foreign currency forward contracts.
The following table summarizes the effects of the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the periods indicated:

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 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
The Company’s derivative instruments include interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts. Fair value measurements are based on the contractual terms of the derivatives and observable market-based inputs. 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. Foreign currency forwards are valued by comparing the contracted forward exchange rate to the current market forward exchange rate. Key inputs for the valuation of the foreign currency forwards are spot rates, foreign currency forward rates and the interest rate curve of the domestic currency. The Company also considers its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. As of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, 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, including the second installment receivable related to the Brazil Sale Transaction, 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:

NM Not meaningful.
For the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, the (benefit) provision for income taxes includes the impact of changes to the estimate of forecasted annual pre-tax book income relative to the prior quarter in each respective year and the benefit of FICA tax credits on certain tipped wages.
The effective income tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 includes the benefit of FICA tax credits on certain tipped wages relative to forecasted annual pre-tax book income which resulted in a negative effective income tax rate.
The effective income tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 includes the impact of the non-deductible losses associated with the repurchase of $83.6 million of the outstanding 2025 Notes (the “Second 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase”) recorded in the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, which, relative to a pre-tax book loss, resulted in a negative effective income tax rate.
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 (loss) before (benefit) provision for income taxes.
The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 and the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 were 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 effective income tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 was lower than the Company’s blended federal and state statutory rate of approximately 26% primarily due to the impact of the non-deductible losses associated with the Second 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase partially offset by the benefit of FICA tax credits on certain tipped wages, which, relative to a pre-tax book loss, resulted in a negative effective income tax rate.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, which enacted or modified, among other things, several business tax rules. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the OBBBA and does not anticipate it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
15. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Other Matters - The Company recorded reserves of $2.1 million and $2.3 million for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings as of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, 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 June 29, 2025, the undiscounted payments that the Company could be required to make in the event of non-payment by the primary lessees was $11.3 million. The present value of these potential payments discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of June 29, 2025 was $8.7 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 June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company’s recorded contingent lease liability was $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

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 term 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. They appear in a number of places throughout this Report and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the industry in which we operate.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Although we base these forward-looking statements on assumptions that we believe are reasonable when made, we caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and industry developments may differ materially from statements made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Report. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and industry developments are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from statements made or suggested by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
(i)Consumer reactions to public health and food safety issues;
(ii)Minimum wage increases, additional mandated employee benefits and fluctuations in the cost and availability of employees;
(iii)Our ability to recruit and retain high-quality leadership, restaurant-level management and team members;
(iv)Economic and geopolitical conditions, including recent tariff developments, and their effects on consumer confidence and discretionary spending, consumer traffic, the cost and availability of credit and interest rates;
(v)Our ability to compete in the highly competitive restaurant industry with many well-established competitors and new market entrants;

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
(vii)Fluctuations in the price and availability of commodities, including supplier freight charges and restaurant distribution expenses, and other impacts of inflation and our dependence on a limited number of suppliers and distributors to meet our beef, pork, chicken and other major product supply needs;
(viii)Our ability to preserve and grow the reputation and value of our brands, particularly in light of changes in consumer engagement with social media platforms and limited control with respect to the operations of our franchisees;
(ix)The effects of international economic, political and social conditions and legal systems on our foreign operations and on foreign currency exchange rates;
(x)The impacts of our operations in Brazil as a minority investor and franchisor following our recent sale transaction;
(xi)Our ability to comply with corporate citizenship and sustainability reporting requirements and investor expectations or our failure to achieve any goals, targets or objectives that we establish with respect to corporate citizenship and sustainability matters;

Overview
We are one of the largest casual dining restaurant companies in the world with a portfolio of leading, differentiated restaurant concepts. As of June 29, 2025, we owned and operated 985 restaurants and franchised 494 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 June 29, 2025 includes the following:
•U.S. combined and Outback Steakhouse comparable restaurant sales of (0.1)% and (0.6)%, respectively;
•Increase in Total revenues of 0.3% as compared to the second quarter of 2024;
•Operating income and restaurant-level operating margins of 3.0% and 12.0%, respectively, as compared to 4.4% and 14.0%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2024;
•Operating income of $29.7 million as compared to $44.1 million in the second quarter of 2024; and
•Diluted earnings per share of $0.29 as compared to $0.28 for the second quarter of 2024.
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) 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) 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 income (loss) and Diluted earnings (loss) 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 (Loss). 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:
(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;
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
(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 supporting the operations of our restaurants and may materially impact our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). 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 (loss) 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.

Thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 as compared to thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024
Food and beverage cost increased as a percentage of Restaurant sales primarily due to 1.1% from commodity inflation and 0.2% from unfavorable product cost mix. These increases were partially offset by decreases as a percentage of Restaurant sales of 0.9% from an increase in average check per person, primarily due to menu pricing, and 0.3% from cost-saving and productivity initiatives.
Labor and other related expense increased as a percentage of Restaurant sales primarily due to 1.7% from higher hourly and field management labor costs, mainly due to wage rate inflation and health insurance, partially offset by a decrease of 0.4% from an increase in average check per person.
Other restaurant operating expense increased as a percentage of Restaurant sales primarily due to 0.8% from higher restaurant-level operating and supply expenses, mainly due to inflation, and 0.5% from higher insurance expense. These increases were partially offset by decreases as a percentage of Restaurant sales of 0.6% from lower advertising expense and 0.3% from an increase in average check per person.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to new restaurant development.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
General and administrative expense increased primarily due to costs associated with our foreign currency forward contracts.
Provision for impaired assets and restaurant closings decreased primarily due to lapping impairment and closure charges in connection with the Q2 2024 decision to close nine restaurants in Hong Kong and the 2023 Restaurant Closures.
Interest expense, net decreased primarily due to interest income on the second installment receivable related to the Brazil Sale Transaction.
(Benefit) provision for income taxes for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 includes the impact of changes to the estimate of forecasted annual pre-tax book income relative to the prior quarter in each respective year and the benefit of FICA tax credits on certain tipped wages.
Twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 as compared to twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024
Food and beverage cost increased as a percentage of Restaurant sales primarily due to 1.0% from commodity inflation and 0.5% from unfavorable product cost mix.

(2)On December 30, 2024, we entered into franchise agreements in connection with the Brazil Sale Transaction that include royalty rates that are lower than our 5% historical intercompany royalty rates and are on the low end of our international franchisee royalty percentage range.
Income from operations
U.S. - The decrease in U.S. Income from operations generated during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to higher labor, operating and commodity costs, mainly due to inflation, and unfavorable product cost mix. These decreases were partially offset by: (i) higher restaurants sales, (ii) an increase in average check per person, primarily due to pricing, and (iii) lower advertising expense.

(1)Represents net income (loss) from continuing operations less net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.
(2)See the Adjusted Income from Operations Non-GAAP Reconciliations table above for details regarding Income from operations adjustments.
(3)Includes losses in connection with the Second 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase, including settlements of the related convertible senior note hedges and warrants.
(4)Includes the tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments determined based on the nature of the underlying non-GAAP adjustments, their relevant jurisdictional tax rates and the quarterly impact that these adjustments may have on changes in forecasted annual pre-tax book income. For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, the difference between GAAP and adjusted effective income tax rates includes the reversal of (benefit) provision for income taxes on foreign currency remeasurement of the deferred tax liability attributable to the second installment receivable related to the Brazil Sale Transaction. For the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024, the difference between GAAP and adjusted effective income tax rates primarily relates to asset impairment and closure costs in Hong Kong with no corresponding tax benefit as a result of a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in that jurisdiction. For the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, the difference between GAAP and adjusted effective income tax rates primarily relates to nondeductible losses and other tax costs associated with the Second 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase.
(5)Includes net income from our Brazil operations for the periods presented. The thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 include a non-GAAP adjustment for $1.5 million of asset impairment and the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. See Note 2 - Discontinued Operations of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details regarding the Brazil Sale Transaction.
(6)For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, our share price was lower than the conversion and strike price related to the 2025 Notes and related warrants, respectively, which resulted in antidilutive shares that are not included. The thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 were calculated including the effect of 1.0 million and 2.7 million dilutive securities, respectively, for outstanding 2025 Notes and the effect of 0.6 million and 1.9 million dilutive securities, respectively, for the Warrant Transactions, as defined below. In connection with the offering of the 2025 Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
transactions and concurrently entered into warrant transactions relating to the same number of shares of our common stock (the “Warrant Transactions”).
(7)Due to a GAAP net loss from continuing operations, antidilutive securities are excluded from diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024. However, considering the adjusted net income position, adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding incorporates securities that would have been dilutive for GAAP.
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 4 - Revenue Recognition of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The following table provides a summary of sales of franchised restaurants by segment for the periods indicated, which are not included in our consolidated Restaurant sales. Franchise sales within this table 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.

(1)On May 1, 2025, the 2025 Notes were settled primarily using borrowings from the revolving credit facility.
(2)Interest rate for revolving credit facility represents the weighted average interest rate as of June 29, 2025.
As of June 29, 2025, we had $563.7 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.
As of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, 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.
Sources and Uses 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, investments in technology, remodeling or relocating older restaurants, and dividend payments.
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.
Brazil Sale Transaction - On December 30, 2024, we received cash proceeds, net of withheld income taxes, of $103.9 million in U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate on the Closing Date, representing 52% of the total Purchase Price from the Brazil Sale Transaction, and applied the proceeds to our revolving credit facility during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025. The second installment payment, representing 48% of total proceeds from the Brazil Sale Transaction and accumulated interest, is due on December 30, 2025, which we anticipate also applying towards the revolving credit facility.
Capital Expenditures - We estimate that our capital expenditures will be approximately $190 million in 2025. 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.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
Dividends and Share Repurchases - In July 2025, our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share, payable on September 3, 2025. 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 approved a $350.0 million share repurchase authorization. As of June 29, 2025, $96.8 million remained available for repurchase.

Summary of Cash Flows and Financial Condition
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:
Operating Activities - The increase in net cash provided by operating activities during the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 as compared to the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to changes in working capital.
Investing Activities - Net cash provided by investing activities during the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 was primarily due to the proceeds from the Brazil sale, net of taxes withheld, partially offset by capital expenditures and payments on foreign currency forward contracts. Net cash used in investing activities during the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to capital expenditures.
Financing Activities - Net cash used in financing activities during the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 was primarily due to: (i) net payments on the revolving credit facility from the proceeds on the Brazil Sale Transaction,
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
(ii) payments of cash dividends and (iii) maturity settlement for the 2025 Notes. Net cash provided by financing activities during the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to net draws on the revolving credit facility exceeding cash used to repurchase common stock and pay dividends on our common stock, and net cash received from the partial unwind agreements relating to a portion of the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions that were entered into in connection with the issuance of the 2025 Notes.
Financial Condition - Following is a summary of our current assets, current liabilities and working capital (deficit) as of the periods indicated:

Working capital (deficit)

(631,817)
Working capital (deficit) includes: (i) Unearned revenue primarily from unredeemed gift cards of $308.4 million and $374.1 million as of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively, and (ii) current operating lease liabilities of $162.5 million and $158.8 million as of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, 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
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2024.
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. Our critical accounting estimates and assumptions related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are described below. We have included an update to our critical accounting estimates as we performed our annual impairment test and noted decreased fair values. See Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2024 for a discussion of our other critical accounting estimates and assumptions.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets - Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization and are tested for impairment annually in the second fiscal quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
We may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit is impaired.
If the qualitative assessment is not performed or if we determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, a quantitative assessment is performed. Fair value of a reporting unit is estimated by utilizing a weighted average of the income approach, typically using a discounted cash flow model, and the market approach, including the guideline public company method and guideline transaction method.
We estimate the fair value of trade names using the relief-from-royalty method, which requires assumptions related to projected system-wide sales, market royalty rates and discount rates.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
The carrying value of the reporting unit or trade name is compared to its estimated fair value, with any excess of carrying value over fair value deemed to be an impairment.
The carrying values of goodwill and trade names as of June 29, 2025 were $213.3 million and $414.7 million, respectively. During the second quarter of 2025, we performed a quantitative impairment analysis due to the recent decline in our stock price and market capitalization. We used a combination of the income and market approaches, weighted 50% each, to determine the fair value of the reporting units. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions included cash flow estimates (including sales and operating profit), long-term growth rates, discount rates that appropriately reflect the risks inherent in cash flow estimates, and market multiples. These estimates are subjective, and our ability to achieve the forecasted cash flows used in our fair value calculations is affected by factors such as the success of strategic initiatives, changes in economic conditions, changes in our operating performance and changes in our business strategies.
The goodwill analysis indicated that all reporting units had fair values that exceeded their carrying values. However, the Outback Steakhouse and Bonefish Grill reporting units had fair values that decreased to approximately 10% above their respective carrying values (“cushion”) while the other reporting units had cushions that were above 20%. The carrying values of goodwill for Outback Steakhouse and Bonefish Grill as of June 29, 2025 were $123.2 million and $28.2 million, respectively. The fair value for the Outback Steakhouse and Bonefish Grill reporting units decreased primarily due to lower cash flow estimates, increased discount rates, lower market multiples and additionally for Bonefish Grill, a lower long-term growth rate. The discount rates for Outback Steakhouse and Bonefish Grill include a higher risk premium to reflect the elevated risk in management’s forecasted cash flows.
In addition, we considered the reasonableness of the fair value of the reporting units by assessing the implied enterprise value control premiums based on our market capitalization. We determined that the implied control premium was reasonable, which corroborates our fair value estimates for its reporting units.
Assumptions used in the quantitative approach are made at a point in time and require significant judgement. They are subject to change based on facts and circumstances present at the impairment test date. However, it is reasonably possible that changes in assumptions could occur. As a sensitivity measure, the following table summarizes the changes to the fair value of our Outback Steakhouse and Bonefish Grill reporting units if the discount rate or the long-term growth rate used to estimate fair value would have been increased (decreased) by the amounts stated in the table below, only for the discounted cash flow method. These estimated changes in fair value are not necessarily representative of the actual impairment that would be recorded in the event of a fair value decline.

(1)The cushions for Outback Steakhouse and Bonefish Grill are reduced by 62% and 36%, respectively, as a result of increasing the discount rate by 100 basis points. The cushions for Outback Steakhouse and Bonefish Grill are reduced by 18% and 13%, respectively, as a result of decreasing the long-term growth rate by 50 basis points.
The quantitative impairment analysis for indefinite-lived intangible assets indicated that all trade names had fair values exceeding their carrying values; however, the Outback Steakhouse trade name’s cushion decreased to approximately 15% while the other trade names had cushions that were above 20%. The carrying value of the Outback Steakhouse trade name as of June 29, 2025 was $287.0 million. Similar to the goodwill analysis, the fair value of the Outback Steakhouse trade name decreased primarily due to lower projected system-wide sales and an increased discount rate.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
As a result of the decreased fair values, the Outback Steakhouse and Bonefish Grill reporting units and the Outback Steakhouse trade name are at a higher risk of future impairments if any assumptions, estimates, or market factors change in the future.
Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards
For a description of recently issued Financial Accounting Standards that we adopted during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in commodity prices, labor inflation and foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We believe that there have been no material changes in our market risk since December 29, 2024. 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 29, 2024 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 June 29, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025, we implemented Workday, a cloud-based human resources and payroll system. We executed certain changes to our processes and internal controls where appropriate and will continue to evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls as a result of this implementation in subsequent periods.
There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
For a description of our legal proceedings, see Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information discussed in this report, please consider the factors described in Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors,” in our 2024 Form 10-K which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. There have not been any material changes to the risk factors described in our 2024 Form 10-K, but these are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
There were no sales of equity securities during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 that were not registered under the Securities Act.
Share Repurchases - In February 2024, our Board approved a share repurchase authorization of up to $350.0 million of our outstanding common stock as announced in our press release issued February 23, 2024 (the “2024 Share Repurchase Program”). The 2024 Share Repurchase Program will expire on August 13, 2025.
We did not repurchase any of our outstanding common stock during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025. As of June 29, 2025, we had $96.8 million of remaining share repurchase authorization under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program.
Item 5. Other Information
On August 3, 2025, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a special bonus for Kelly Lefferts, the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary, in recognition of the additional responsibilities she has assumed on an interim basis during the fiscal year. Ms. Lefferts received an $80,000 cash bonus and a grant of restricted stock units having a grant date value of approximately $100,000 which vest one year from the grant date of September 2, 2025.
Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans - During the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025, none of the Company’s directors or executive officers adopted, modified or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).
