NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
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. The Company's restaurant portfolio has four concepts: 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 in which the Company has no direct investment 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 financial statement presentation 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. 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 26, 2021.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted- In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2021-10, "Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance" ("ASU No. 2021-10"), which requires financial statement footnote disclosure regarding government assistance accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. ASU No. 2021-10 is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 25, 2022. Upon adoption of ASU No. 2021-10 during the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company anticipates government assistance financial statement footnote disclosures within the 2022 Form 10-K, primarily in connection with employee retention credits provided under the Coronavirus, Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act.

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 items in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for prior periods to be comparable with the classification for the current period, including, but not limited to, presentation of certain items within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and certain notes to the consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.

4. (Loss) Earnings Per Share

In February 2021, the Company provided the trustee of its convertible senior notes due in 2025 (the "2025 Notes") notice of the Company's irrevocable election to settle the principal portion of the 2025 Notes in cash and any excess in shares. As a result, subsequent to the election, only the amounts in excess of the principal amount are considered in diluted earnings per share. The amount of the 2025 Notes settled in shares of common stock will have a dilutive impact on diluted earnings per share when the average market price of the Company's common stock for a given period exceeds the conversion price, which was initially $11.89 per share of common stock.

In connection with the offering of the 2025 Notes, the Company entered intowarrant transactions (the "Warrant Transactions"), which have a dilutive effect on the Company's common stock to the extent the price of its common stock exceeds the strike price of the Warrant Transactions, which was initially $16.64.

In connection with dividends paid during the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2022, the conversion price of the 2025 Notes decreased to $11.74 per share of common stock and the strike price of the related warrants decreased to $16.43 per share of common stock.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share for the periods indicated:

Effective with the Company's election, there will be no further numerator adjustments for interest or denominator adjustments for shares required to settle the principal portion.
(2)During the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2022, the Company repurchased $125.0 million of the 2025 Notes and retired the corresponding portion of the related warrants. See Note 8 - Convertible Senior Notesfor additional details. Due to the Company's net loss during the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2022, dilutive excess shares and warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would be antidilutive.

(1)The thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2021 includes a cumulative life-to-date adjustment for PSUs granted in fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021 based on revised Company performance projections of performance criteria set forth in the award agreements.

In February 2022, the Company granted 0.5 million performance-based share units ("PSUs") subject to final payout modification by a Relative Total Shareholder Return ("Relative TSR") modifier. This Relative TSR modifier can adjust the final payout outcome by 75%, 100% or 125% of the achieved performance metric, with the overall payout capped at 200% of the annual target grant. These PSUs have a three-year cliff vesting period and their fair value was estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation model.

Assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model and the grant date fair value of PSUs granted were as follows for the periods indicated:

Credit Agreement Amendment - On April 16, 2021, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC ("OSI"), as co-borrowers, entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides for senior secured financing of up to $1.0 billion consisting of a $200.0 million Term loan A and an $800.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Senior Secured Credit Facility"), maturing on April 16, 2026.

On April 26, 2022, the Company and OSI entered into the First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Incremental Amendment (the "Amended Credit Agreement"), which included an increase of the Company's existing revolving credit facility from $800.0 million to $1.0 billion and a transition from London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as the benchmark rate for purposes of calculating interest under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. At closing, an incremental $192.5 million was drawn on the revolving credit facility to fully repay the outstanding balance of Term loan A. The total indebtedness of the Company remained unchanged as a result of the Amended Credit Agreement.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company may elect an interest rate at each reset period based on the Base Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR, plus an applicable spread. The Base Rate option is the highest of: (i) the prime rate of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5 of 1.0% or (iii) the Adjusted Term SOFR with a one-month interest period plus 1.0% (the "Base Rate"). The Adjusted Term SOFR option is the 30, 90 or 180-day SOFR, plus a term SOFR adjustment of 0.10%, subject to a 0% floor (the "Adjusted Term SOFR"). The interest rate spreads are as follows:
BASE RATE ELECTION ADJUSTED TERM SOFR ELECTION
Revolving credit facility
50 to 150 basis points over the Base Rate
150 to 250 basis points over the Adjusted Term SOFR

The transition to SOFR did not materially impact the interest rate applied to the Company's borrowings. No other material changes were made to the terms of the Company's Credit Agreement as a result of the Amended Credit Agreement.

As of June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.

Following is a summary of principal payments of the Company's total consolidated debt outstanding as of the period indicated:

11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk - In October 2018, the Company entered into variable-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements with 12 counterparties to hedge a portion of the cash flows of the Company's variable rate debt. The swap agreements had an aggregate notional amount of $550.0 million and mature on November 30, 2022. Under the terms of the swap agreements, the Company paid a weighted average fixed rate of 3.04% on the notional amount and received payments from the counterparty based on one-month LIBOR. During 2021, the Company terminated its variable-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements with certain counterparties and as a result, as of December 26, 2021 had interest rate swap agreements remaining with two counterparties for an aggregate notional amount of $125.0 million.

In connection with the Amended Credit Agreement, on April 26, 2022 the Company terminated its remaining variable-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements. Following these terminations, the unrealized losses related to the terminated swap agreements included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss will be amortized to Interest expense, net during 2022.

The Company's swap agreements were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges, recognized on its Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value as of December 26, 2021 and classified based on the instruments' maturity dates. As of June 26, 2022, the Company estimated $5.2 million of interest expense from the terminated swap agreements will be reclassified to Interest expense, net through the November 2022 maturity date of the swaps.

13. Fair Value Measurements

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 instrument is determined based on the following:
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS
Fixed income funds and Money market funds
Carrying value approximates fair value because maturities are less than three months.
Derivative instruments The Company's derivative instruments include interest rate swaps. Fair value measurements are based on the contractual terms of the derivatives and use observable market-based inputs. The 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. The Company also considers its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. As of December 26, 2021, the Company has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis - Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to property, fixtures and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, which are remeasured when carrying value exceeds fair value. Carrying value after impairment approximates fair value. The following tables summarize the Company's assets measured at fair value by hierarchy level on a nonrecurring basis, for the periods indicated:

Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company's non-derivative financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and current and long-term debt. The fair values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts reported on its 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:

(Loss) income before provision for income taxes $ (50,144) $ 107,574 $ 43,479 $ 183,965
Provision for income taxes $ 11,536 $ 22,688 $ 27,465 $ 29,281
Effective income tax rate (23.0) % 21.1 % 63.2 % 15.9 %

The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2022 includes the impact of nondeductible losses associated with the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase which, relative to a pre-tax book loss during the quarter, resulted in a negative effective income tax rate.

The effective income tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2022 increased by 47.3 percentage points as compared to the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the non-deductible losses associated with the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase recorded during the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2022.

On December 28, 2021, the U.S. Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service released final regulations that, among other things, provide guidance on several aspects of the foreign tax credit rules. As part of the guidance issued, these regulations change longstanding foreign tax credit regulations that now make foreign taxes paid to certain countries no longer creditable in the United States. The Company expects that a portion of post-2022 foreign taxes paid will not be creditable in the United States. Furthermore, the impact of these regulations will result in the utilization of existing prior year foreign tax credit carryforwards for which the Company had previously recorded a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance related to the credits expected to be utilized has been released during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2022.

The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2022 was lower than the Company's blended federal and state statutory rate of approximately 26%. The income tax rate includes the impact of nondeductible losses associated with the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase which, relative to a pre-tax book loss during the quarter, resulted in a negative effective income tax rate.

The effective income tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2022 was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to the non-deductible losses associated with the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase recorded during the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2022.

The effective income tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2021 were lower than the statutory rate primarily due to the benefit of FICA tax credits on certain employees' tips.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Other Matters- The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and liabilities, such as liquor liability, slip and fall cases, wage-and-hour and other employment-related litigation, which arise in the ordinary course of business. A reserve is recorded when it is both: (i) probable that a loss has occurred and (ii) the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. There may be instances in which an exposure to loss exceeds the recorded reserve. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings that could cause an increase or decrease in the amount of the reserve that has been previously recorded, or a revision to the disclosed estimated range of possible losses, as applicable.

The Company's legal proceedings range from cases brought by a single plaintiff to threatened class actions with many putative class members. While some matters pending against the Company specify the damages claimed by the plaintiff or class, many seek unspecified amounts or are at very early stages of the legal process. Even when the amount of damages claimed against the Company are stated, the claimed amount may be exaggerated, unsupported or unrelated to possible outcomes, and as such, are not meaningful indicators of the Company's potential liability or financial exposure. As a result, some matters have not yet progressed sufficiently through discovery or development of important factual information and legal issues to enable the Company to estimate an amount of loss or a range of possible loss.

The Company recorded reserves of $8.5 million and $7.1 million for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings as of June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021, respectively, within Accrued and other current liabilities and Other long-term 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.

The Company intends to defend itself in legal matters. Some of these matters may be covered, at least in part, by insurance if they exceed specified retention or deductible amounts. However, it is possible that claims may be denied by the Company's insurance carriers, the Company may be required by its insurance carriers to contribute to the payment of claims, or the Company's insurance coverage may not continue to be available on acceptable terms or in sufficient amounts. The Company records receivables from third party insurers when recovery has been determined to be probable. The Company believes that the ultimate determination of liability in connection with legal claims pending against the Company, if any, in excess of amounts already provided for such matters in the consolidated financial statements, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, annual results of operations, liquidity or financial position. However, it is possible that the Company's business, results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition could be materially affected in a particular future reporting period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more matters or contingencies during such period.

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 26, 2022, the undiscounted payments that the Company could be required to make in the event of non-payment by the primary lessees was approximately $23.0 million. The present value of these potential payments discounted at the Company's incremental borrowing rate as of June 26, 2022 was approximately $17.5 million. In the event of default, the indemnity clauses in the Company's purchase and sale agreements govern its ability to pursue and recover damages incurred. As of June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021, the Company's recorded contingent lease liability was $8.4 million and $8.7 million, respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
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 26, 2022, we owned and operated 1,169 full-service restaurants and off-premises only kitchens and franchised 332 full-service restaurants and off-premises only kitchens across 47 states, Guam and 15 countries. We have four founder-inspired concepts: Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill and Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar.

Financial Highlights

Our financial highlights for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2022 include the following:

•U.S. combined and Outback Steakhouse comparable restaurant sales of (0.4)% and (1.1)%, respectively;
•Increase in Total revenues of 4.4%, as compared to the second quarter of 2021;
•Operating income and restaurant-level operating margins of 7.8% and 15.5%, respectively, as compared to 11.6% and 20.3%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2021;
•Income from operations of $87.7 million, as compared to $124.6 million in the second quarter of 2021;
•Loss on extinguishment of debt of $104.7 million and loss on fair value adjustment of derivatives, net, of $17.7 million in connection with the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase; and
•Diluted loss per share of $(0.72), as compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.75 for the second quarter of 2021.

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 (loss) income and Diluted (loss) earnings per share - financial measures utilized to evaluate our operating performance.

Restaurant-level operating margin is 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, overall and particularly within our two segments. Our restaurant-level operating margin is expressed as the percentage of our Restaurant sales that Food and beverage costs, Labor and other related expenses and Other restaurant operating expenses (including advertising expenses) represent, in each case as such items are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. The following categories of our revenue and operating expenses are not included in restaurant-level
29
BLOOMIN' BRANDS, INC.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
operating 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;
(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 support the operations of our restaurants and may materially impact our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. 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 (loss) income 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 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.

BLOOMIN' BRANDS, INC.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
The increase in Restaurant sales during the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2022 was primarily due to: (i) higher comparable restaurant sales, primarily in Brazil, (ii) the opening of 42 new restaurants not included in our comparable restaurant sales base and (iii) the effect of foreign currency translation of the Brazilian Real relative to the U.S. dollar. The increase in Restaurant sales was partially offset by the closure of 21 restaurants since March 28, 2021.

The increase in Restaurant sales during the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2022 was primarily due to: (i) higher comparable restaurant sales, primarily attributable to increases in average check per person, (ii) the opening of 45 new restaurants not included in our comparable restaurant sales base and (iii) the effect of foreign currency translation of the Brazilian Real relative to the U.S. dollar. The increase in Restaurant sales was partially offset by the closure of 22 restaurants since December 27, 2020.

The increase in international Income from operations generated during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2022 as compared to the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in restaurant-level operating margin, which includes: (i) the recovery of in-restaurant dining in Brazil and the net impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during 2021, and (ii) increases in average check per person, partially offset by commodity inflation. The increase from international restaurant-level operating margin was partially offset by the impact of favorable court rulings in Brazil related to value-added taxes recorded in other revenues during 2021.

(6)Due to the GAAP net loss, the effect of dilutive securities was excluded from the calculation of GAAP diluted loss per share for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2022.
(7)Adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding was calculated excluding the dilutive effect of 7,774 and 11,231 shares for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021, respectively, and 8,253 and 10,442 shares for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021, respectively, to be issued upon conversion of the 2025 Notes to satisfy the amount in excess of the principal since our convertible note hedge offsets the dilutive impact of the shares underlying the 2025 Notes. For the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2021, adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding was also calculated assuming our February 2021 election to settle the principal portion of the 2025 Notes in cash was in effect for the entire period. For adjusted diluted earnings per share, the calculation includes 3,965 dilutive shares for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2022, primarily related to outstanding warrants.

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 2- Revenue Recognition of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table provides a summary of sales of franchised restaurants for the periods indicated, which are not included in our consolidated financial results. 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of June 26, 2022, we had $95.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $41.8 million was held by foreign affiliates. The international jurisdictions in which we have significant cash do not have any known restrictions that would prohibit repatriation.

As of June 26, 2022, we had aggregate accumulated foreign earnings of approximately $37.9 million. This amount consisted primarily of historical earnings from 2017 and prior that were previously taxed in the U.S. under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and post-2017 foreign earnings, which we may repatriate to the U.S. without additional material U.S. federal income tax. These amounts are not considered indefinitely reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries.

(1)Interest rate for revolving credit facility represents the weighted average interest rate as of June 26, 2022.

As of June 26, 2022, we had $580.0 million in available unused borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, net of letters of credit of $20.0 million.

Credit Agreement Amendment - On April 26, 2022, we and OSI entered into the Amended Credit Agreement, which included an increase of our existing revolving credit facility from $800.0 million to $1.0 billion and a transition from LIBOR to SOFR as the benchmark rate for purposes of calculating interest under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. At closing, an incremental $192.5 million was drawn on the revolving credit facility to fully repay the outstanding balance of Term loan A. Our total indebtedness remained unchanged as a result of the Amended Credit Agreement. The transition to SOFR did not materially impact the interest rate applied to our borrowings.

See Note 7 - Long-term Debt, Netof the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details regarding the Amended Credit Agreement.

Our Amended Credit Agreement 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. See Note 13 - Long-term Debt, Netin our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2021 for further information.

As of June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021, 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.

2025 Notes- On May 25, 2022, we and the Noteholders entered into the Exchange Agreements in which the Noteholders agreed to exchange $125.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 2025 Notes for $196.9 million in cash, plus accrued interest, and approximately 2.3 million shares of our common stock.

Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions - In connection with the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase, we entered into the Note Hedge Early Termination Agreements and the Warrant Early Termination Agreements. Upon settlement, we received $131.9 million for the Note Hedge Early Termination Agreements and paid $114.8 million for the Warrant Early Termination Agreements during the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2022.

See Note 8 - Convertible Senior Notesof the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details regarding the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase and related Note Hedge Early Termination Agreements and Warrant Early Termination Agreements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
Use 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, debt payments, share repurchases and dividend payments, development of new restaurants, remodeling or relocating older restaurants and investment in technology.

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.

Capital Expenditures - We estimate that our capital expenditures will total approximately $200 million to $210 million in 2022. 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.

Dividends and Share Repurchases- In July 2022, our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per share, payable on August 24, 2022. 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.

On February 8, 2022, our Board approved the 2022 Share Repurchase Program under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $125.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The 2022 Share Repurchase Program will expire on August 9, 2023. As of June 26, 2022, we had $77.5 million remaining available for repurchase under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program.

Following is a summary of dividends and share repurchases from fiscal year 2015 through June 26, 2022:
(dollars in thousands) DIVIDENDS PAID SHARE REPURCHASES TOTAL

Deferred Compensation Programs - The deferred compensation obligation due to managing and chef partners was $7.5 million and $15.5 million as of June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021, respectively. We invest in various corporate-owned life insurance policies, which are held within an irrevocable grantor or rabbi trust account for settlement of our obligations under the deferred compensation plans. The obligation for managing and chef partners' deferred compensation was fully funded as of June 26, 2022.

Summary of Cash Flows and Financial Condition

Cash Flows- The following table presents a summary of our cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated:
TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED
(dollars in thousands) JUNE 26, 2022 JUNE 27, 2021
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 218,818 $ 283,182
Net cash used in investing activities (75,738) (42,625)
Net cash used in financing activities (140,922) (248,018)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents 4,232 128
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 6,390 $ (7,333)

Operating activities- The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities during the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2022 as compared to the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2021 was primarily due to the timing of operational payments and receipts and increased employee compensation payments.

Investing activities - The increase in net cash used in investing activities during the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2022 as compared to the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2021 was primarily due to higher capital expenditures.

Financing activities - The decrease in net cash used in financing activities during the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2022 as compared the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2021 was primarily due to net draws on the revolving credit facility during 2022, generally used to settle certain outstanding debt obligations, including the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase and the related Note Hedge Early Termination Agreements, partially offset by the repurchase of common stock and payment of cash dividends on our common stock.

Financial Condition- Following is a summary of our current assets, current liabilities and working capital (deficit) as of the periods indicated:
(dollars in thousands) JUNE 26, 2022 DECEMBER 26, 2021
Current assets $ 292,926 $ 352,792
Current liabilities 909,850 984,625
Working capital (deficit) $ (616,924) $ (631,833)

Working capital (deficit) includes: (i) Unearned revenue primarily from unredeemed gift cards of $309.9 million and $398.8 million as of June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021, respectively, and (ii) current operating lease liabilities of $178.8 million and $177.0 million as of June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021, 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.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

For a description of recently issued Financial Accounting Standards that we adopted during the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2022 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 Presentationof the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
