Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

References to “Brinker,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” in this Form 10-Q are references to Brinker International, Inc., its subsidiaries, and any predecessor companies of Brinker International, Inc.

Nature of Operations

Our Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 27, 2019 and June 27, 2018, and for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended March 27, 2019 and March 28, 2018, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We are principally engaged in the ownership, operation, development, and franchising of the Chili’s^® Grill & Bar (“Chili’s”) and Maggiano’s Little Italy^® (“Maggiano’s”) restaurant brands. At March 27, 2019, we owned, operated or franchised 1,676 restaurants, consisting of 997 company-owned restaurants and 679 franchised restaurants, located in the United States, 29 countries and two United States territories.

Basis of Presentation

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

The foreign currency translation adjustment included in Comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income represents the unrealized impact of translating the financial statements of our Canadian restaurants and our Mexican joint venture (prior to divestiture in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, see Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements for more details) from their respective functional currencies to U.S. dollars. This amount is not included in Net income and would only be realized upon disposition of the businesses. The Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) is presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary to fairly state the interim operating results, financial position and cash flows for the respective periods. However, these operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s June 27, 2018 Form 10-K. We believe the disclosures are sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes. All amounts within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in millions unless otherwise specified.

New Accounting Standards Implemented

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, and subsequently amended this update by issuing additional ASU’s that provide clarification and further guidance around areas identified as potential implementation issues. These updates provide a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. These updates also require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. These updates are effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, which required us to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Please refer to Note 2 - Revenue Recognition for disclosures about our adoption.

Table of Contents

ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230) - In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, this update provides clarification regarding how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. This update is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, which required us to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The update was applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements or debt covenants.

ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment - In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, this update eliminates step two of the goodwill impairment analysis. Companies will no longer be required to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Instead, they will measure impairment as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit. This update is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed with measurement dates after January 1, 2017. We elected to early adopt this guidance as of September 27, 2018. The guidance was adopted prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements for disclosure about goodwill.

ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract - In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, this update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This update is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. We elected to early adopt this guidance during the third quarter of fiscal 2019, using a prospective approach. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The impact of additional accounting standards updates that have not yet been adopted can be found at Note 14 - Effect of New Accounting Standards.

2. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Effective June 28, 2018, our first quarter of fiscal 2019, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), from the previous guidance ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and ASC Subtopic 952-605, Franchisors - Revenue Recognition (together, “Legacy GAAP”). Our transition to ASC 606 represents a change in accounting principle. Our Consolidated Financial Statements for the third quarter and year-to-date periods of fiscal 2019 reflect the application of ASC 606 guidance using the modified retrospective transition method, while our Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods were prepared under Legacy GAAP.

Significant Accounting Policy

Revenues are presented in Company sales and Franchise and other revenues captions in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Company sales include revenues generated by the operation of company-owned restaurants including gift card redemptions. Franchise and other revenues include royalties, advertising fees (effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2019), gift card breakage, Maggiano’s banquet service charge income, digital entertainment revenues, gift card equalization, gift card discount costs from third-party gift card sales, franchise and development fees, delivery fee income, merchandise income and retail royalty revenues.

Company Sales

The adoption of ASC 606 did not impact revenue recognition related to Company sales. We will continue to record revenues from the sale of food, beverages and alcohol as products are sold.

Table of Contents

Franchise and Other Revenues

Royalties - Franchise royalties are based on a percentage of the sales generated by our franchised restaurants. The provisions of ASC 606 did not impact the recognition of these royalties, as the performance obligation related to franchise sales is considered complete upon the sale of food, beverages and alcohol. Royalty revenues attributable to franchise restaurants will continue to be recognized in the same period the sales are generated at the franchise restaurants.

Advertising Fees - Domestic franchisees are contractually obligated to contribute into certain advertising and marketing funds. The adoption of ASC 606 did not impact the timing of revenue recognition of the advertising fees received; however, effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, advertising fees are now presented on a gross basis within Franchise and other revenues. Under Legacy GAAP, the advertising funds received from franchisees were considered a reimbursement of advertising expenses and were presented on a net basis as a reduction to advertising expenses in Restaurant expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Initial Development and Franchise Fees - We receive development fees from franchisees for territory development arrangements and franchise fees for a new restaurant opening. Under ASC 606, the performance obligation related to these arrangements will be collectively deferred as a contract liability and recognized on a straight-line basis into Franchise and other revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income over the term of the underlying agreements. Deferred franchise and development fees are classified within Other accrued liabilities for the current portion expected to be recognized within the next 12 months, and Other liabilities for the long-term portion in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under Legacy GAAP, development fees were recognized as income upon the execution of the agreement, when development rights were conveyed to the franchisee. Franchise fees were recognized as income when the obligations under the franchise agreement were satisfied, generally upon the opening of the new franchise restaurant.

Gift Card Breakage Income - Breakage revenues represent the monetary value associated with outstanding gift card balances for which redemption is considered remote. We estimate this amount based on our historical gift card redemption patterns and update the breakage rate estimate periodically and if necessary, adjust the deferred revenues balance within the Gift card liability account in the Consolidated Balance Sheets accordingly. In accordance with ASC 606, breakage revenues will be recognized proportionate to the pattern of related gift card redemptions. Under Legacy GAAP, breakage revenues were recognized when redemption was considered remote. We do not charge dormancy or any other fees related to monitoring or administering the gift card program to cardholders.

Additionally, proceeds from the sale of gift cards will continue to be recorded as deferred revenues in the Gift card liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognized as Company sales when the gift card is redeemed by the holder.

Gift Card Discount Costs - Our gift cards are sold through various outlets such as in-store, Chili’s and Maggiano’s websites, directly to other businesses, and through third-party distributors that sell our gift cards at various retail locations. We incur incremental direct costs related to gift card sales, such as commissions and activation fees, for gift cards sold by third-party businesses and distributors. These initial direct costs are deferred and amortized against revenues proportionate to the pattern of related gift card redemption.

Other Revenues - Other revenues not described above, such as Maggiano’s banquet service charge income, digital entertainment revenues, retail royalty revenues and delivery fee income had no change in recognition from the adoption of ASC 606.

Sales Taxes

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue transactions and collected from a customer have been excluded from revenues under both Legacy GAAP and ASC 606.

Table of Contents

Disaggregation of Total Revenues

The following tables disaggregate revenues by operating segment and major source:



	Thirteen Week Period Ended March 27, 2019
	Chili’s		Maggiano’s		Total
Company sales	$	709.8	$	101.8	$	811.6
Royalties	13.4		0.1		13.5
Franchise fees and other revenues	9.5		4.7		14.2
Total revenues	$	732.7	$	106.6	$	839.3

Franchise fees and other revenues	26.6		16.2		42.8
Total revenues	$	2,056.8	$	327.0	$	2,383.8

Franchise fees and other revenues primarily include advertising fees, gift card breakage income, Maggiano’s banquet service charge income, digital entertainment revenues, initial development and franchise fees from franchisees, delivery fee income, gift card discount costs from third-party gift card sales, and other revenues.

Deferred Development and Franchise Fees

Our deferred development and franchise fees consist of the unrecognized fees received from franchisees. A summary of significant changes to the related deferred balance during the thirty-nine week period ended March 27, 2019 is presented below, along with the revenues to be recognized in the subsequent periods.



	Deferred Development and Franchise Fees
Balance at June 27, 2018	$	—
Cumulative effect adjustment from adoption of ASC 606	18.1
Additions	0.5
Amount recognized to Franchise and other revenues	(2.2		)
Balance at March 27, 2019	$	16.4



Fiscal Year	Development and Franchise Fees Revenue Recognition
Remainder of 2019	$	0.4
2020	1.4
2021	1.4
2022	1.3
2023	1.3
Thereafter	10.6
	$	16.4

The development and franchise fees that will be recognized in future years are based on active contracts with franchisees. These amounts represent the amount that will be recognized pursuant to the satisfaction of the contractual performance obligations of the current agreements. These amounts are based on active contracts and any modifications or

Table of Contents

terminations of these contracts may affect the timing of the recognition. We also expect to have future year royalties and advertising fees related to our franchise contracts, however under ASC 606, these future year revenues are not yet determinable due to unsatisfied performance obligations based upon a sales-based royalty.

Financial Statement Impact of Transition to ASC 606

ASC 606 was applied to all contracts with customers as of the first day of fiscal 2019, June 28, 2018. The cumulative effect was applied using the modified retrospective approach. Our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflects the transition to ASC 606 as an adjustment at June 28, 2018 as follows:



	June 27, 2018			ASC 606 Cumulative Effect Adjustments			June 28, 2018
ASSETS
Other assets
Deferred income taxes, net ⁽¹⁾	$	33.6		$	2.5		$	36.1
LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Current liabilities
Gift card liability ⁽²⁾	119.1			(8.2		)	110.9
Other accrued liabilities ⁽³⁾	127.2			1.5			128.7
Other liabilities ⁽³⁾	131.7			16.6			148.3
Shareholders’ deficit ^{(2) (3)}	(718.3		)	(7.4		)	(725.7		)


⁽¹⁾	Deferred income taxes, net adjustment relates to the net change in liabilities and equity as a result of the adoption of ASC 606 described in notes ⁽²⁾ and ⁽³⁾below.

⁽²⁾

Gift card liability is adjusted for the ASC 606 adoption impact of the change to recognize gift card breakage proportionate to the pattern of related gift card redemption. Under Legacy GAAP, gift card breakage was recognized when the likelihood of redemption was deemed remote. The cumulative effect of applying ASC 606 accounting to gift card balances outstanding at June 28, 2018 resulted in an $8.2 million decrease in Gift card liability due to the change in timing of recognition between ASC 606 and Legacy GAAP, and a corresponding $2.0 million decrease in Deferred income taxes, net, and a $6.2 million decrease in Shareholders’ deficit.


⁽³⁾	Other liabilities $16.6 million and Other accrued liabilities $1.5 million adjustments relate to the deferral of previously recognized franchise and development fees received from franchisees, with a corresponding $4.5 million increase in Deferred income taxes, net, and a $13.6 million increase to Shareholders’ deficit at June 28, 2018.

Comparison of Fiscal 2019 Periods if Legacy GAAP Had Been in Effect

The following tables reflect the impact to our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended March 27, 2019, Cash flows from operating activities for the thirty-nine week period ended March 27, 2019, and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 27, 2019 as if the Legacy GAAP was still in effect.

The adjustments presented below in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income include under ASC 606, advertising fees now presented on a gross basis as a component of Franchise and other revenues. Under Legacy GAAP, the advertising fees were recorded as a reduction to advertising expenses within Restaurant expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Additionally, the recognition timing change for franchise related fees and gift card breakage is included within Franchise and other revenues.

The adjustments presented below in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet relate to the cumulative effect impact described above in the “Financial Statement Impact of Transition to ASC 606” section, as well as the impact from the

change in the gift card breakage, deferred development and franchise fees, and corresponding deferred tax and retained earnings balances as of March 27, 2019.

3. SALE LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS

Restaurant Properties Sale Leaseback Transactions

In the thirteen week period ended March 27, 2019, we completed sale leaseback transactions of four restaurant properties sold for aggregate consideration of $11.1 million. The balances attributable to the restaurant assets sold include Land of $3.9 million, Buildings and leasehold improvements of $6.7 million, certain fixtures included in Furniture and equipment of $0.2 million, and Accumulated Depreciation of $3.1 million. The total gain was $3.4 million.

During the thirty-nine week period ended March 27, 2019, we have completed total sale leaseback transactions of 149 restaurant properties sold for aggregate consideration of $477.4 million. The balances attributable to the restaurant

assets sold include Land of $110.4 million, Buildings and leasehold improvements of $231.1 million, certain fixtures included in Furniture and equipment of $9.8 million, and Accumulated Depreciation of $172.7 million. The total gain was $298.8 million and the net proceeds from these sale leaseback transactions have been used to repay borrowings on our revolving credit facility.

Lease Details

The initial terms of all leases are for 15 years, plus renewal options at our discretion, which contain scheduled rent increases. All of the leases were determined to be operating leases. Rent expenses associated with these operating leases are being recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. As of March 27, 2019, $2.0 million of straight-line rent accrual has been recorded for these operating leases in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Gain and Deferred Gain Recognition

We recognized the portion of the gross gain in excess of the present value of the future minimum lease payments, and deferred the remainder of the gain to be recognized straight-line in proportion to the operating lease terms. During the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended March 27, 2019, $4.7 million and $29.4 million of the gain was recognized to Other (gains) and charges in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, respectively. The remaining balance of the deferred gain of $269.4 million as of March 27, 2019 was recorded in Other accrued liabilities (current portion) and Deferred gain on sale leaseback transactions (long-term portion) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Corporate Headquarters Relocation

During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, we sold the owned portion of our corporate headquarters property for net proceeds of $13.7 million which was deferred in Other accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets until the third quarter of fiscal 2019 when we moved to our new corporate headquarters location, and fully relinquished possession of the sold property and terminated our involvement. As such, during the thirteen week period ended March 27, 2019 we recognized the sale, removed the balances attributable to the previous corporate headquarters assets sold that included Land of $5.9 million, Buildings and leasehold improvements of $10.6 million, Furniture and equipment of $0.7 million, and Accumulated Depreciation of $9.3 million, and recorded the related net gain of $5.8 million to Other (gains) and charges in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Please see Note 6 - Other Gains and Charges for further details, including accelerated depreciation recorded to Other (gains) and charges in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income related to the sold property.

4. NET INCOME PER SHARE

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



	Thirteen Week Periods Ended		Thirty-Nine Week Periods Ended
	March 27, 2019	March 28, 2018	March 27, 2019	March 28, 2018
Basic weighted average shares outstanding	37.5	45.4	38.6	46.7
Dilutive stock options	0.1	0.1	0.2	0.1
Dilutive restricted shares	0.5	0.5	0.5	0.4
	0.6	0.6	0.7	0.5
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding	38.1	46.0	39.3	47.2

5. INCOME TAXES



	Thirteen Week Periods Ended				Thirty-Nine Week Periods Ended
	March 27, 2019		March 28, 2018		March 27, 2019		March 28, 2018
Effective income tax rate	10.3	%	20.4	%	11.7	%	28.7	%

Fiscal 2019

The effective income tax rate in the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended March 27, 2019 compared to the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended March 28, 2018 decreased 10.1% and 17.0% respectively, primarily due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) that was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act lowered the federal statutory tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0% effective January 1, 2018. Our fiscal 2019 effective income tax rate is further lowered due to the FICA tax credit benefit, partially offset by the impact of the sale leaseback transactions.

During the thirty-nine week period ended March 27, 2019, the gains related to the sale leaseback transactions, as described in Note 3 - Sale Leaseback Transactions, resulted in tax expenses of $76.0 million when the transactions were completed. Also during the thirty-nine week period ended March 27, 2019, we paid $75.0 million of the taxes, with a remaining $1.0 million included as a payable net within Income taxes receivable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 27, 2019. This liability is expected to be paid during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

Fiscal 2018

The thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended March 28, 2018 consider the Tax Act that was enacted prior to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2018 and therefore the federal statutory tax rate changes stipulated by the Tax Act were reflected in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Our federal statutory tax rate for fiscal 2018 was 28.1% representing a blended tax rate for fiscal 2018 based on the number of days in fiscal 2018 before and after the effective date. In accordance with ASC 740, we re-measured our deferred tax accounts as of the enactment date using the new federal statutory tax rate and recognized the change as a discrete item in the provision for income taxes. The Company’s deferred tax position was a net asset and as a result, the reduction in the federal statutory tax rate resulted in a one-time non-cash adjustment to our net deferred tax balance of $8.4 million with a corresponding increase to the provision for income taxes in the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended March 28, 2018.
