Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of Brinker
International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company") as of March 29, 2000 and June 30,
1999 and for the thirteen week and thirty-nine week periods ended
March 29, 2000 and March 24, 1999, respectively, have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company owns
and operates or franchises various restaurant concepts under the
names of Chili's Grill & Bar ("Chili's"), Romano's Macaroni Grill
("Macaroni Grill"), On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina ("On The
Border"), Cozymel's Coastal Mexican Grill ("Cozymel's"),
Maggiano's Little Italy ("Maggiano's"), and Corner Bakery Cafe
("Corner Bakery"). In addition, the Company is involved in the
operation and development of the Eatzi's Market and Bakery
("Eatzi's"), Big Bowl, and Wildfire concepts.
The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments)
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state
the operating results 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 generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and
regulations. The notes to the condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the
consolidated financial statements contained in the June 30, 1999
Form 10-K. Company management believes that the disclosures are
sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements to
conform with current year presentation.
2. Commitments
In September 1999, the Company entered into a $25.0 million
equipment leasing facility. During fiscal 2000, the Company has
utilized $16.2 million of the facility. The facility, which is
accounted for as an operating lease, expires in fiscal 2006. The
Company guarantees a residual value related to the equipment of
approximately 87% of the total amount funded under the facility.
At the end of the lease term, the Company has the option to
purchase all of the leased equipment for an amount equal to the
unamortized lease balance, which amount will be no more than 75%
of the total amount funded under the facility.
In September 1999, the Company also entered into a $50.0 million
real estate leasing facility. During fiscal 2000, the Company has
utilized $5.2 million of the facility. The facility, which is
accounted for as an operating lease, expires in fiscal 2007. The
Company guarantees the residual value related to the properties,
which will be approximately 87% of the total amount funded under
the facility. At the end of the lease term, the Company has the
option to purchase all of the leased real estate for an amount
equal to the unamortized lease balance.
3. Preopening Costs
The Company elected early adoption of Statement of Position 98-5
("SOP 98-5"), "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities,"
retroactive to the first quarter of fiscal 1999. This new
accounting standard required the Company to expense all start-up
and preopening costs as they are incurred. The Company previously
deferred such costs and amortized them over the twelve-month
period following the opening of each restaurant. The Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Income for the thirty-nine week period
ended March 24, 1999 reflects the cumulative effect of this
accounting change, net of related income tax benefit.
4. Treasury Stock
The Company's Board of Directors previously approved a plan to
repurchase up to $110.0 million of the Company's common stock.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company's Board of
Directors approved an additional $100.0 million increase in the
existing plan. Pursuant to the plan and in accordance with
applicable securities regulations, the Company repurchased
approximately 635,100 shares of its common stock for approximately
$14.1 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2000, resulting
in a cumulative repurchase total of 4,910,100 shares of its common
stock for approximately $110.5 million. The Company's repurchase
plan is used by the Company to offset the dilutive effect of stock
option exercises and increase shareholder value. The repurchased
common stock is reflected as a reduction of shareholders' equity.
5. Long Term Incentive Plan
Pursuant to shareholder approval in November 1999, the Company
implemented the Long Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") for certain
key employees, one component of which is the award of restricted
common stock in lieu of cash. During fiscal 2000, approximately
218,000 shares of restricted common stock have been awarded, the
majority of which vests over a three-year period. Unearned
compensation was recorded at the date of award based on the market
value of the shares and is being amortized to compensation expense
over the vesting period. Unearned compensation related to these
shares, included as a separate component of shareholders' equity,
was approximately $3.6 million at March 29, 2000.

REVENUES
Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 increased to $551.2
million, 20.0% over the $459.2 million generated for the same
quarter of fiscal 1999. Revenues for the thirty-nine week period
ended March 29, 2000 rose 18.6% to $1,583.1 million from the
$1,335.3 million generated for the same period of fiscal 1999. The
increases are primarily attributable to a net increase of 67
company-owned restaurants since March 24, 1999 and an increase in
comparable store sales for both the third quarter and year-to-date
of fiscal 2000 compared to fiscal 1999. The Company increased its
capacity (as measured in sales weeks) for the third quarter and
year-to-date of fiscal 2000 by 10.9% and 12.0%, respectively,
compared to the respective prior year periods. Comparable store
sales increased 8.6% and 6.4% for the third quarter and year-to-
date, respectively, from the same periods of fiscal 1999. Menu
prices in the aggregate increased 1.5% in fiscal 2000 as compared
to fiscal 1999.
COSTS AND EXPENSES (as a percent of Revenues)
Cost of sales decreased for the third quarter and year-to-date of
fiscal 2000 as compared to the respective periods of fiscal 1999.
Improved purchasing leverage, menu price increases, and favorable
commodity price variances for poultry, dairy, produce, and contract
items (such as eggrolls and shortening) attributed to the decrease
in cost of sales for both the quarter and year-to-date. These
favorable variances were partially offset by unfavorable commodity
price variances for meat and unfavorable product mix changes.
Restaurant expenses decreased for the third quarter and year-to-
date of fiscal 2000 compared to the respective periods of fiscal
1999. Restaurant labor wage rates were higher than in the prior
year, but were fully offset by increased sales leverage,
improvements in labor productivity, and menu price increases.
Additionally, pre-opening costs have decreased for both the third
quarter and year-to-date due to fewer store openings year-over-
year.
Depreciation and amortization decreased for both the third quarter
and year-to-date of fiscal 2000 compared to the respective periods
of fiscal 1999. Depreciation and amortization decreases resulted
from the utilization of the equipment leasing facilities, increased
sales leverage and a declining depreciable asset base for older
units. Partially offsetting these decreases were increases in
depreciation related to new unit construction and ongoing remodel
costs.
General and administrative expenses decreased for both the third
quarter and year-to-date of fiscal 2000 compared to the respective
periods of fiscal 1999 as a result of the Company's continued focus
on controlling corporate expenditures relative to increasing
revenues and number of restaurants and increased sales leverage.
Interest expense remained flat for both the third quarter and year-
to-date of fiscal 2000 compared with the respective periods of
fiscal 1999. Interest expense increased as a result of increased
borrowings on the Company's credit facilities primarily used to
fund the Company's continuing stock repurchase plan and a decrease
in interest capitalization due to fewer store openings year-over-
year. These increases were fully offset by increased sales
leverage as well as a decrease in interest expense on senior notes
due to the scheduled repayment made in April 1999.
Other, net decreased for both the third quarter and year-to-date of
fiscal 2000 compared to the respective periods of fiscal 1999
primarily due to a decrease in the Company's share of net losses in
unconsolidated equity method investees.
CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGE
The cumulative effect of accounting change is the result of the
Company's early adoption of SOP 98-5 retroactive to the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 as discussed previously in the "Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" section. The
cumulative effect of this accounting change, net of income tax
benefit, was $6.4 million or $0.10 per diluted share. This new
accounting standard accelerates the Company's recognition of
preopening costs, but benefits the post-opening results of new
restaurants.
NET INCOME AND NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income for the third quarter and year-to-date of fiscal 2000
increased 39.3% and 56.8%, respectively, compared to the respective
periods of fiscal 1999. Diluted net income per share for the third
quarter and year-to-date of fiscal 2000 increased 43.3% and 59.2%,
respectively, compared to the respective periods of fiscal 1999.
Excluding the effects of the adoption of SOP 98-5 in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999, net income for the year-to-date period of
fiscal 2000 increased 39.5% from $58.2 million to $81.1 million and
diluted net income per share increased 40.7% from $.86 to $1.21.
The increase in both net income and diluted net income per share
before consideration of the adoption of SOP 98-5 was mainly due to
an increase in revenues resulting from increases in capacity (as
measured in sales weeks), comparable store sales, and menu prices
and decreases in commodity prices and general and administrative
expenses as a percent of revenues. Diluted weighted average shares
outstanding for the third quarter decreased 3.0% compared to the
prior year period due to the effect of treasury stock repurchases,
partially offset by stock option exercises and restricted common
stock awards.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The Company has not experienced a significant overall impact from
inflation. As operating expenses increase, the Company, to the
extent permitted by competition, recovers increased costs by
either increasing menu prices or reviewing, then implementing,
alternative products or processes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The working capital deficit increased from $87.0 million at June
30, 1999 to $117.4 million at March 29, 2000. Net cash provided by
operating activities increased to $184.6 million for the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 from $124.3 million during the same period
in fiscal 1999 due to increased profitability, partially offset by
the timing of operational receipts and payments.
Long-term debt outstanding at March 29, 2000 consisted of $71.4
million of unsecured senior notes, $108.1 million of borrowings on
credit facilities, and obligations under capital leases. The
Company has credit facilities totaling $330.0 million, and at March
29, 2000, the Company had $220.1 million in available funds from
these facilities.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company entered into a
$25.0 million equipment leasing facility. As of March 29, 2000,
$16.2 million of the facility had been utilized. The remaining
equipment leasing facility can be used to lease equipment during
the remainder of fiscal year 2000 and through the first quarter of
fiscal year 2001. In addition, the Company entered into a $50.0
million real estate leasing facility. As of March 29, 2000, $5.2
million of the facility had been utilized. The remaining real
estate leasing facility will be used to lease real estate during
the remainder of fiscal year 2000 and all of fiscal year 2001.
Capital expenditures consist of purchases of land for future
restaurant sites, new restaurants under construction, purchases of
new and replacement restaurant furniture and equipment, and ongoing
remodeling programs. Capital expenditures, net of amounts funded
under the respective equipment and real estate leasing facilities,
were $138.2 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2000 as
compared to $137.0 million for the same period of fiscal 1999. The
amount of capital expenditures in the first three quarters of
fiscal 2000 was essentially unchanged compared to the same period
in fiscal 1999 due to differences in the mix of unit openings
during fiscal 2000 as compared to fiscal 1999, partially offset by
a decrease in the number of store openings year-over-year. The
Company estimates that its capital expenditures during the fourth
quarter will approximate $47.0 million. These capital expenditures
will be funded from internal operations, cash equivalents, and
drawdowns on the Company's available lines of credit.
The Company is not aware of any other event or trend which would
potentially affect its liquidity. In the event such a trend
develops, the Company believes that there are sufficient funds
available under its lines of credit and that it has strong internal
cash generating capabilities to adequately manage the expansion of
business.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest
rates on debt and changes in commodity prices.
The Company's net exposure to interest rate risk consists of
floating rate instruments that are benchmarked to U.S. and
European short-term interest rates. The Company may from time to
time utilize interest rate swaps and forwards to manage overall
borrowing costs and reduce exposure to adverse fluctuations in
interest rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments
for trading purposes and the Company has procedures in place to
monitor and control derivative use. The impact on the Company's
results of operations of a one-point interest rate change on the
outstanding balance of the variable rate debt as of March 29, 2000
would be immaterial.
The Company purchases certain commodities such as beef, chicken,
flour and cooking oil. These commodities are generally purchased
based upon market prices established with vendors. The purchase
arrangements may contain contractual features that limit the price
paid by establishing certain price floors or caps. The Company
does not use financial instruments to hedge commodity prices
because these purchase arrangements help control the ultimate cost
paid and any commodity price aberrations that are not covered by
contracts are generally short term in nature.
This market risk discussion contains forward-looking statements.
Actual results may differ materially from this discussion based
upon general market conditions and changes in domestic and global
financial markets.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS
No. 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," subsequently amended by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 137 ("SFAS No. 137"), "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," which is required to be
adopted in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No.
133 will require the Company to recognize all derivatives on the
balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is a hedge,
depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of
derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value
of the hedged item through earnings, or recognized in other
comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in
earnings. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 133 effective
June 29, 2000 and does not anticipate that the adoption will have
a material effect on the Company's results of operations or
financial position.
