NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of Brinker
International, Inc. ("Company") as of December 28, 1994 and June 29,
1994 and for the thirteen week periods and twenty-six week periods ended
December 28, 1994 and December 29, 1993 have been prepared by the
Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Company owns and operates five primary
restaurant concepts under the names of Chili's Grill & Bar ("Chili's"),
Grady's American Grill ("Grady's"), Romano's Macaroni Grill ("Macaroni
Grill"), Spageddies Italian Kitchen ("Spageddies"), and On The Border
Cafes ("On The Border").
The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to fairly state the operating results for the
respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant
to such 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 29, 1994
Form 10-K. Company management believes that the disclosures are
sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes.
2. Net Income Per Share
Both primary and fully diluted net income per share are based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period
increased by common equivalent shares (stock options) determined using
the treasury stock method.
3. Business Combination
Effective August 3, 1994, the Company acquired four Chili's restaurants
located in Florida and Georgia from a franchisee in exchange for 505,930
shares of Company common stock. The acquisition of one of the
restaurants was accounted for as a purchase. The acquisition of the
remaining three restaurants was accounted for as a pooling of interests.
Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements have been
restated to include the accounts and operations of the three acquired
restaurants for all periods presented.
4. Shareholders' Equity
On November 3, 1994, the shareholders of the Company approved an
amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation which increased
the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to
250,000,000.

REVENUES
Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 increased to $246.6 million,
15.2% over the $214.1 million generated for the same quarter of fiscal 1994.
Revenues for the twenty-six week period ended December 28, 1994 rose 17.2% to
$493.7 million from $421.3 million generated from the same period of fiscal
1994. The increase is primarily attributable to the 66 Company-operated
restaurants opened or acquired since December 29, 1993. Reported comparable
store sales for the second quarter and year-to-date of fiscal 1995 changed
(0.4%) and 0.2%, respectively, compared to the respective prior year periods.
On a concept basis, Chili's, Macaroni Grill, and Grady's experienced
comparable store sales changes of (0.9)%, 2.2%, and 0.3%, respectively, for
the second quarter of fiscal 1995, and 0.1%, 2.1%, and (1.1)%, respectively,
on a year-to-date basis.
COSTS AND EXPENSES (as a percent of Revenues)
Cost of sales decreased for both the second quarter and year-to-date of fiscal
1995. Due to increased purchasing leverage, favorable commodity prices were
experienced in meat, poultry, and dairy. Other favorable factors include the
impact from meat waste control systems and menu reformulation, such as the
addition of the Guiltless Grill menu items at Chili's. These positive
variances were somewhat offset by unfavorable prices for lettuce and tomatoes
in the second quarter and non-alcoholic beverages and seafood on a year-to-
date basis.
Restaurant expenses increased on both a comparative second quarter and year-
to-date basis. The increase is primarily the result of increased management
costs due to staffing and training costs associated with future expansion. At
the restaurant level, hourly costs increased slightly due to an increase in
wage rates in certain regions, particularly Florida, and an increase in
restaurant supplies, primarily resulting from new menu items. In addition,
home delivery costs increased as a result of the program's expansion. These
cost increases were partially offset by decreases in rent expense resulting
from an increase in the percentage of owned restaurants versus leased.
Depreciation and amortization decreased for both the second quarter and year-
to-date of fiscal 1995. A decrease in per-unit depreciation and amortization
due to a declining depreciable asset base for older units and higher average
sales volumes in newer restaurants offset increases related to rising
construction costs, remodel costs, and capital expenditures at the corporate
level, such as investments in new computer hardware and software.
General and administrative expenses declined in the second quarter and year-
to-date of fiscal 1995 compared to the respective fiscal 1994 periods due to
the Company's ongoing focus on controlling corporate overhead and efficiencies
realized from increased investments in computer hardware and software. The
dollar increase in general and administrative expenses is due to additional
staff and support as the Company accelerates expansion of its restaurant
concepts, including international franchising.
Merger expenses and lawsuit settlement recognized in the second quarter of
fiscal 1994 are nonrecurring costs associated with On The Border. Merger
expenses are consulting and legal fees incurred in the initial phases of
negotiating On The Border's acquisition. Lawsuit settlement is an injury
claim settlement arising from an airplane accident in March 1993 involving
several former On The Border officers.
Other, net, decreased compared to the first quarter and year-to-date of fiscal
1994. The decrease is primarily the result of a gain of approximately $1
million generated from the sale of land in the second quarter of fiscal 1994,
a decrease in net realized gains on sales of marketable securities due to
significant gains recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 1994, and a
decrease in interest and dividend income compared to fiscal 1994 as a result
of a decrease in the investment portfolio balance.
INCOME BEFORE PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
As a result of the relationships between revenues and costs and expenses,
income before provision for income taxes increased 21.7% and 23.4%,
respectively, over the second quarter and year-to-date results of fiscal 1994.
INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective income tax rate was 35.0% and 35.3% for the second
quarter and year-to-date of fiscal 1995, respectively, compared to 35.1% and
35.2% for the same periods of fiscal 1994. The Company's effective income tax
rate on a year-to-date basis is consistent with the prior year. The fiscal
1995 second quarter effective income tax rate, however, was adjusted downward
from the first quarter as a result of more accurate year-end estimates of
state income tax liabilities and Federal FICA tax credits.
NET INCOME AND NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income and primary net income per share rose 21.9% and 22.2%,
respectively, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1994. Year-to-date net
income and primary net income per share increased 23.2% and 21.1%,
respectively, compared to fiscal 1994. The increases exceed the increases in
revenues as the Company continues to control costs and expenses while
maintaining the expansion of its restaurant concepts. Primary weighted
average shares outstanding for the second quarter and year-to-date changed
(0.9)% and 0.3%, respectively, compared to the respective prior year periods.
Although the number of outstanding shares has increased as a result of common
stock options exercised, dilutive common stock equivalents were down in the
second quarter of fiscal 1995 as a result of a decline in the Company's stock
price.
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 raising menu prices.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The working capital deficit increased from $54.9 million at June 29, 1994 to
$60.2 million at December 28, 1994, due primarily to the Company's capital
expenditures as discussed below. Net cash provided by operating activities
decreased to $44.6 million for the first half of the year from $56.2 million
during the same period in fiscal 1994 due to timing of operational receipts
and payments, which offset cash generated from the increased number of
restaurants in operation, strong operating results from existing units, and
the effective containment of costs.
Long-term debt outstanding at December 28, 1994 consisted of obligations under
capital leases. At December 28, 1994, the Company had drawn $12.1 million
from its lines of credit to fund short-term operational needs, leaving $37.9
million in available funds from lines of credit.
Capital expenditures were $76.5 million for the six months ended December 28,
1994 as compared to $66.8 million last fiscal year. Purchases of land for
future restaurant sites, new restaurants under construction, purchases of new
and replacement restaurant furniture and equipment, and the ongoing remodeling
program were responsible for the increased expenditures. The Company
estimates that its capital expenditures during the third quarter will
approximate $53 million. These capital expenditures will be funded from
internal operations, income earned from investments, build-to-suit lease
agreements with landlords, and drawdowns on the Company's available lines of
credit.
The Clinton administration is likely to continue to analyze and propose new
legislation which could adversely impact the entire business community.
Mandated health care and minimum wage measures, if passed, could increase the
Company's operating costs. The Company would attempt to offset increased
costs through additional improvements in operating efficiencies and menu price
increases.
The Company is not aware of any other event or trend which would potentially
affect its liquidity. In the event such a trend would develop, the Company
believes that there are sufficient funds available to it under the lines of
credit and strong internal cash generating capabilities to adequately manage
the expansion of business.
