Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

Point-in-time ledger

first-reported vs latest filing · periods since 2020-01-01 · 0 changed periods

No period on file has changed between its first report and the latest filing carrying it.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

Lease Commitments and Guarantees We have, in certain cases, divested brands or sold restaurants to franchisees and have not been released from lease guarantees for the related restaurants. As of March 25, 2026 and June 25, 2025, we have outstanding lease guarantees or are secondarily liable for an estimated $9.0 million and $11.9 million, respectively. These amounts represent the maximum known potential liability of rent payments under the leases, but outstanding rent payments can exist outside of our knowledge as a result of the landlord and tenant relationship being between two third parties. These leases have been assigned to the buyers and expire at the end of the respective lease terms, which range from fiscal 2027 through fiscal 2035. In the event of default under a lease by an owner of a divested brand, the indemnity and default clauses in our agreements with such third parties and applicable laws govern our ability to pursue and recover amounts we may pay on behalf of such parties. We have received notices of default and have been named a party in lawsuits pertaining to some of these leases in circumstances where the current lessee did not pay its rent obligations and management is closely monitoring any exposure. Letters of Credit We provide letters of credit to various insurers to collateralize obligations for outstanding claims. As of March 25, 2026, we had $34.1 million in undrawn standby letters of credit outstanding. All standby letters of credit are renewable w

Fair value · 2,771 characters as filed

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under market conditions. Fair value measurements are categorized in three levels based on the types of significant inputs used, as follows: Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 3 Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data Financial Instruments The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts because of the short maturity of these items. The carrying amount of debt outstanding related to our revolving credit facility approximates fair value as the interest rate on this instrument approximates current market rates (Level 2). The fair values of our note are based on quoted market prices and are considered a Level 2 fair value measurement. The carrying amounts of the note, which are net of unamortized debt issuance costs, and fair value are as follows: March 25, 2026 June 25, 2025 Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value 8.25% notes $ 346.6 $ 366.7 $ 346.0 $ 372.3 Non-Financial Assets We review the carrying amounts of non-financial assets, primarily long-lived property and equipment, finance lease assets, operating lease assets, reacquired franch

Income taxes · 594 characters as filed

Thirty-Nine Week Periods Ended March 25, 2026 March 26, 2025 Effective income tax rate 15.7 % 15.8 % The federal statutory tax rate was 21.0% for the thirty-nine week periods ended March 25, 2026 and March 26, 2025. The change in the effective income tax rate in the thirty-nine week period ended March 25, 2026 to the thirty-nine week period ended March 26, 2025 is primarily due to significantly higher excess tax benefits from stock based compensation of $12.4 million in fiscal 2026, partially offset by higher Income before income taxes and resulting deleverage of the FICA tip tax credit.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances income tax disclosures through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The Company will adopt this ASU in our fiscal 2026 Form 10-K, and management is currently assessing whether to apply the relevant provisions prospectively or retrospectively. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income StatementReporting Comprehensive IncomeExpense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires, for each relevant expense caption on the income statement, detailed disclosure amounts for purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. In addition, this ASU requires companies to include amounts already required by GAAP in the same disclosure, provide a qualitative description of remaining amounts not separately disaggregated, and disclose the amount of total selling expenses along with the companies definition of selling expenses. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, which would require us to adopt the provisions in our fiscal 2028 Form 10-K. The amendments should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on o

Revenue recognition · 2,077 characters as filed

Deferred Franchise and Development Fees Our deferred franchise and development fees consist of the unrecognized fees received from franchisees. Recognition of these fees in subsequent periods is based on satisfaction of the contractual performance obligations of the active contracts with franchisees. We also expect to earn subsequent period royalties and advertising fees related to our franchise contracts; however, due to the variability and uncertainty of these future revenues which depend upon a sales-based measure, these future revenues are not yet estimable as the performance obligations remain unsatisfied. 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 (Unaudited). The following table reflects the changes in deferred franchise and development fees between June 25, 2025 and March 25, 2026: Deferred Franchise and Development Fees Balance as of June 25, 2025 $ 9.8 Additions 0.6 Amount recognized to Franchise revenues (1.5) Balance as of March 25, 2026 $ 8.9 The following table illustrates franchise and development fees expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that were unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of March 25, 2026: Fiscal Year Franchise and Development Fees Revenue Recognition Remainder of 2026 $ 0.2 2027 0.8 2028 0.7 2029 0.6 2030

Stockholders' equity · 1,730 characters as filed

Share Repurchases Our Board of Directors approved a $400.0 million increase in our share repurchase program in August 2025 allowing for a total available authority of $507.0 million. Our share repurchase program is used to return capital to shareholders and to minimize the dilution to our shares outstanding that results from equity compensation grants. We evaluate potential share repurchases under our plan based on several factors, including our cash position, share price, operational liquidity, proceeds from divestitures, borrowings and planned investment and financing needs. Repurchased shares are reflected as an increase in Treasury stock within Shareholders equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited). In the thirty-nine week period ended March 25, 2026, we repurchased 2.5 million shares of our common stock for $343.4 million, including 2.2 million shares purchased for $300.0 million as part of our share repurchase program and 0.3 million shares purchased from team members to satisfy tax withholding obligations on the vesting of restricted shares. These withheld shares of common stock are not considered common stock repurchases under our authorized common stock repurchase plan. As of March 25, 2026, approximately $207.0 million of share repurchase authorization remains under the current share repurchase program.
