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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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 29, 2019.

Risks and Uncertainties - In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. In response to COVID-19, the Company temporarily closed all restaurant dining rooms in the U.S. as of March 20, 2020 and shifted operations to provide only take-out and delivery service, resulting in significantly reduced traffic in its restaurants. In early May 2020, the Company began to reopen its restaurant dining rooms with limited seating capacity in compliance with state and local regulations and as of June 28, 2020 had reopened substantially all of its restaurant dining rooms with limited seating capacity. The temporary closure of the Company’s dining rooms and the limitations on seating capacity in its reopened dining rooms have resulted in significantly reduced traffic in the Company’s restaurants. The negative effect of COVID-19 on the Company’s business was significant during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020. See Note 2 - COVID-19 Charges for details regarding the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s financial results.

The duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its long-term impact on the Company’s business are uncertain at this time. Given the daily evolution of the pandemic and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company may be unable to accurately estimate the effects of the pandemic on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for the foreseeable future.

Recently Adopted Financial Accounting Standards - On December 30, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” (“ASU No. 2016-13”), which requires measurement and recognition of losses for financial instruments under the current expected credit loss model versus incurred losses under previous guidance. The Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 and its related amendments (“the new credit loss standard”) resulted in a cumulative-effect debit adjustment to the beginning balance of Accumulated deficit of $4.3 million, including $4.8 million of contingent lease liabilities related to lease guarantees and $1.0 million of incremental reserve for credit losses, net of the $1.5 million net increase in related deferred tax assets. Measurement processes and related controls have been implemented by the Company to ensure compliance with the new credit loss standard. See Note 18 - Allowance for Expected Credit Losses for additional details regarding the Company’s allowance for expected credit losses.

On December 30, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing

BLOOMIN’ BRANDS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) - Continued
Arrangement That Is a Service Contract,” (“ASU No. 2018-15”), which clarifies the accounting for implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. Under ASU No. 2018-15, implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements are deferred and recognized over the term of the arrangement similar to internal-use software guidance. The Company contracts with 3rd party information technology providers for various service arrangements including software, platform and information technology infrastructure. The capitalized implementation costs are recorded within Other assets, net on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the hosting arrangements, including reasonably certain renewal periods, within the same financial statement line as the related hosting fees. The amortization of the Company’s current arrangements is recorded in General and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. The Company’s prospective adoption of ASU No. 2018-15 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” (“ASU No. 2020-04”). The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU No. 2020-04 was effective beginning March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to hedge effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows, which enables the Company to continue to apply hedge accounting to hedging relationships impacted by reference rate reform. Application of these expedients allows for presentation of derivatives consistent with the Company’s historical presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections, as applicable.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted - 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. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.

Weighted-average securities outstanding not included in the computation of (loss) earnings per share attributable to common stock holders because their effect was antidilutive were as follows, for the periods indicated:

Nonvested performance-based share units 624    330    578    295   
Convertible senior notes and warrants 23,388    —    11,694    —   

There are approximately 19.348 million shares of the Company’s common stock that underlie its senior convertible notes based on the initial conversion rate and full principal amount. The conversion spread on the Company’s convertible senior notes 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 of $11.89 per share of common stock. The Company expects to settle the principal amount of its outstanding convertible senior notes in cash and any excess in shares. As a result, upon conversion of the convertible senior notes, only the amounts in excess of the principal amount are considered in diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock method, if applicable. For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020, the convertible senior notes have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as the effect would be antidilutive given the Company’s net loss, and also since the conversion price of the convertible senior notes exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common stock. Warrants to purchase approximately 19.348 million shares of the Company’s common shares at $16.64 per share were outstanding as of June 28, 2020 but were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share since the warrants’ strike price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the period. See Note 12 - Convertible Senior Notes for additional information regarding the Company’s convertible senior notes.

The COVID-19 outbreak was considered a triggering event in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2020, indicating that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative assessment for all reporting units to determine whether a reporting unit was impaired. Based on this assessment, which utilized a discounted cash flow analysis, the Company recorded full impairment of goodwill related to its Hong Kong reporting unit of $2.0 million, within the international segment, during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2020. Impairment was not recorded for any of the Company’s other reporting units as a result the quantitative assessment.

Annual Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment Assessment - The Company performs its annual assessment for impairment of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets as of the first day of its second fiscal quarter. Since the Company performed a quantitative assessment on the last day of the first fiscal quarter in 2020, as described above, the Company utilized the same assumptions and analysis in performing a quantitative annual assessment in its second fiscal quarter and concluded that no additional impairment was required. In 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment and did not record any impairment charges.

Amended Credit Agreement - On May 4, 2020, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC (“OSI”), as co-borrowers, entered into an amendment to the existing credit agreement, dated November 30, 2017 (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), which provides relief for the financial covenant to maintain a specified quarterly Total Net Leverage Ratio (“TNLR”). Without such amendment, violation of financial covenants under the original credit agreement could have resulted in default. TNLR is the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt (Current portion of long-term debt and Long-term debt, net of cash, excluding the convertible senior notes) to Consolidated EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other adjustments as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement).

BLOOMIN’ BRANDS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) - Continued
The Amended Credit Agreement waives the TNLR requirement for the remainder of fiscal year 2020 and requires a TNLR based on a seasonally annualized calculation of Consolidated EBITDA not to exceed the following thresholds for the periods indicated:
QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MAXIMUM RATIO
March 28, 2021 (1) 5.50    to 1.00
June 27, 2021 (2) 5.00    to 1.00
September 26, 2021 and thereafter (3) 4.50    to 1.00
________________
(1)Seasonally annualized Consolidated EBITDA calculated as Consolidated EBITDA for the fiscal quarter ending March 28, 2021 divided by 34.1%.
(2)Seasonally annualized Consolidated EBITDA calculated as Consolidated EBITDA for the two consecutive quarters ending June 27, 2021 divided by 58.5%.
(3)Seasonally annualized Consolidated EBITDA calculated as Consolidated EBITDA for the three consecutive quarters ending September 26, 2021 divided by 77.0%.

The Company is also required to meet a minimum monthly liquidity threshold of $125.0 million through March 28, 2021, calculated as the sum of available capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility, unrestricted domestic cash on hand and up to $25.0 million of unrestricted cash held by foreign subsidiaries.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company is limited to $100.0 million of aggregate capital expenditures for the four fiscal quarters through March 28, 2021. The Company is also prohibited from making certain restricted payments, investments or acquisitions until after September 26, 2021, with an exception for investments in the Company’s foreign subsidiaries which are capped at $27.5 million. Repurchasing shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock and paying dividends are also restricted until after September 26, 2021 and the Company is compliant with its financial covenants under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement.

Interest rates under the Amended Credit Agreement are 275 and 175 basis points above the Eurocurrency Rate and Base Rate, respectively, and letter of credit fees and fees for the daily unused availability under the revolving credit facility are 2.75% and 0.40%, respectively, subject to reversion to rates under the original credit agreement when the Company is in compliance with the TNLR covenant for the test period ending September 26, 2021. The Company is also subject to a 0% Eurocurrency floor under the Amended Credit Agreement.

Deferred Financing Fees - The Company deferred $2.9 million of financing costs incurred in connection with the Amended Credit Agreement. Deferred financing fees of $2.0 million associated with the revolving credit facility portion of the Amended Credit Agreement were recorded in Other assets, net and all other deferred financing fees were recorded in Long-term debt, net.

As of June 28, 2020 and December 29, 2019, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.

12. Convertible Senior Notes

Convertible Senior Notes - On May 8, 2020, the Company completed a $200.0 million principal amount private offering of 5.00% convertible senior notes due 2025 and on May 12, 2020, issued an additional $30.0 million principal amount in connection with the option granted to the initial purchasers as part of the offering (collectively, the “2025 Notes”). The 2025 Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Trustee. The 2025 Notes will mature on May 1, 2025, unless earlier converted, redeemed or purchased by the Company. The 2025 Notes bear cash interest at an annual rate of 5.00%, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2020.

20

BLOOMIN’ BRANDS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) - Continued
The 2025 Notes are unsecured obligations and do not contain any financial covenants or restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness, paying dividends or issuing or repurchasing any securities. Events of default under the indenture for the 2025 Notes include, among other things, a default in the payment when due of the principal of, or the redemption price for, any note and a default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on any note. If an event of default, the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable.

The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2025 Notes is 84.122 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes, or a total of approximately 19.348 million shares for the total $230.0 million principal amount. This initial conversion rate is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $11.89 per share. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Noteholders may convert their notes at their option only in the circumstances described in the indenture.

The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election, based on the applicable conversion rate.

Net proceeds from the 2025 Notes offering were approximately $221.6 million, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discounts and commissions and the Company’s offering expenses. Upon issuance, the principal amount was separated into a liability and an equity component, such that interest expense reflects the Company’s nonconvertible debt interest rate.

The initial carrying value of the 2025 Notes, excluding the discounts upon original issuance and third party offering costs allocated to the liability, and recorded during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2020, is as follows (in thousands):
Liability component
Principal $ 230,000   
Less: Debt discount (1) (66,137)  
Less: Debt issuance costs (1) (5,996)  
Net carrying amount $ 157,867   
Equity component (2) $ 64,367   
________________
(1)Debt discount and issuance costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the 2025 Notes.
(2)Recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Includes $2.4 million of equity issuance costs and net deferred tax assets of $0.6 million.

Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions - In connection with the offering of the 2025 Notes, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions (the “Convertible Note Hedge Transactions”) with certain of the initial purchasers of the 2025 Notes and/or their respective affiliates and other financial institutions (in this capacity, the “Hedge Counterparties”). Concurrently with the Company’s entry into the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions, the Company also entered into separate, warrant transactions with the Hedge Counterparties collectively relating to the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, and for which the Company received proceeds that partially offset the cost of entering into the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions (the “Warrant Transactions”).

The Convertible Note Hedge Transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that initially underlie the 2025 Notes, and are expected generally to reduce the potential equity dilution, and/or offset any cash payments in excess of the principal amount due, as the case may be, upon conversion of the 2025 Notes.

common stock to the extent that the price of its common stock exceeds the strike price of the Warrant Transactions. The strike price will initially be $16.64 per share and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Warrant Transactions.

The portion of the net proceeds to the Company from the offering of the 2025 Notes that was used to pay the premium on the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions, net of the proceeds to the Company from the Warrant Transactions, was approximately $19.6 million. The net costs incurred in connection with the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions and Warrant Transactions were recorded as a reduction to Additional paid-in capital on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2020.

As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions and Warrant Transactions were recorded in stockholders’ equity, not accounted for as derivatives and are not remeasured each reporting period.

15. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk - On October 24, 2018 and October 25, 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 have an aggregate notional amount of $550.0 million and mature on November 30, 2022. Under the terms of the swap agreements, the Company pays a weighted-average fixed rate of 3.04% on the notional amount and receives payments from the counterparty based on the one-month LIBOR rate.

The Company’s swap agreements have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, are recognized on its Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and are classified based on the instruments’ maturity dates. The Company estimates $16.0 million will be reclassified to interest expense over the next 12 fiscal months. The following table presents the fair value and classification of the Company’s swap agreements, as of the periods indicated:
(dollars in thousands) JUNE 28, 2020 DECEMBER 29, 2019 CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET CLASSIFICATION
Interest rate swaps - liability $ 14,555    $ 7,174    Accrued and other current liabilities

Accrued interest $ 1,356    $ 632    Accrued and other current liabilities
____________________
(1)See Note 17 - Fair Value Measurements for fair value discussion of the interest rate swaps.

On May 4, 2020, concurrent with entering into the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company de-designated its interest rate swap hedge relationship and modified its hedge documentation to more closely align with certain terms
23

BLOOMIN’ BRANDS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) - Continued
of the Amended Credit Agreement. On May 6, 2020, the Company re-designated the cash flow hedge relationship for the original $550.0 million notional amount, resulting in no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a result of the hedge activity.

The following table summarizes the effects of the swap agreements on Net (loss) income for the periods indicated:
THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED
(dollars in thousands) JUNE 28, 2020 JUNE 30, 2019 JUNE 28, 2020 JUNE 30, 2019
Interest rate swap (expense) income recognized in Interest expense, net $ (3,482)   $ (175)   $ (5,362)   $ 316   
Income tax benefit (expense) recognized in (Benefit) provision for income taxes 897    45    1,381    (82)  
Total effects of the interest rate swaps on Net (loss) income $ (2,585)   $ (130)   $ (3,981)   $ 234   

By utilizing the interest rate swaps, the Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event that the counterparty fails to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. To mitigate this risk, the Company enters into derivative contracts with major financial institutions based upon credit ratings and other factors. The Company continually assesses the creditworthiness of its counterparties. As of June 28, 2020, all counterparties to the interest rate swaps had performed in accordance with their contractual obligations.

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if the repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company’s default on indebtedness.

As of June 28, 2020 and December 29, 2019, the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was in a net liability position, including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk, of $40.5 million and $24.8 million, respectively. As of June 28, 2020 and December 29, 2019, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions as of June 28, 2020 and December 29, 2019, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $40.5 million and $24.8 million, respectively.

16. Leases

In April 2020, the FASB issued a question and answer document focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of COVID-19 (the “Lease Modification Q&A”). The Lease Modification Q&A provides entities with the option to elect to account for lease concessions as though the enforceable rights and obligations existed in the original lease when the total cash flows resulting from the modified lease are substantially similar to the cash flows in the original lease. The Company elected this practical expedient for COVID-19-related rent concessions, primarily rent deferrals or rent abatements, and has elected not to remeasure the related lease liability and right-of-use asset for those leases. Rent deferrals are accrued with no impact to straight-line rent expense. Rent abatements are recognized as a reduction of variable rent expense in the month they occur. This election will continue while these concessions are in effect.

17. 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 Measurements on a Recurring Basis - The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by hierarchy level on a recurring basis as of the periods indicated:

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 June 28, 2020 and December 29, 2019, the Company has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives.

(1)Carrying values measured using Level 2 inputs to estimate fair value totaled $0.2 million during the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2019. All other assets were valued using Level 3 inputs. Third-party market appraisals (Level 2) and discounted cash flow models (Level 3) were used to estimate fair value.
(2)Carrying values measured using Level 2 inputs to estimate fair value totaled $0.5 million and $2.2 million during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020, respectively. All other assets were valued using Level 3 inputs. Third-party market appraisals (Level 2) and discounted cash flow models (Level 3) were used to estimate fair value.
(3)All assets measured using the quoted market value of comparable assets (Level 2).
(4)Assets generally measured using third-party market appraisals or executed sales contracts (Level 2).

See Note 4 - Impairments, Exit Costs and Disposals for information regarding impairment charges resulting from the fair value measurement performed on a nonrecurring basis during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020. Projected future cash flows, including discount rate and growth rate assumptions, are derived from current economic conditions, expectations of management and projected trends of current operating results. As a result, the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its long-lived assets held and used are unobservable inputs that fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

In assessment of impairment for operating locations, the Company determined the fair values of individual operating locations using an income approach, which required discounting projected future cash flows. When determining the stream of projected future cash flows associated with an individual operating location, management made assumptions, including highest and best use and inputs from restaurant operations, where necessary, and about key variables including the following unobservable inputs: revenue growth rates, controllable and uncontrollable expenses, and asset residual values. In order to calculate the present value of those future cash flows, the Company discounted cash flow estimates at its weighted-average cost of capital applicable to the country in which the measured assets reside.

Provision for expected credit losses 15    3,349   
Allowance for credit losses, end of period $ 4,566    $ 4,566   

The Company is exposed to credit losses through its trade accounts receivable consisting primarily of amounts due for gift card, credit card, vendor, franchise and other receivables. Gift card, vendor and other receivables consist primarily of amounts due from gift card resellers and vendor rebates. Amounts due from franchisees consist of initial franchise fees, royalty income, and advertising fees. See Note 7 - Other Current Assets, Net for disclosure of trades receivables by category as of June 28, 2020 and December 29, 2019. Domestic credit card receivables are recorded within Cash and cash equivalents based on their short duration and reasonably assured settlement.

The Company evaluates the collectability of trade receivables based on historical loss experience and risk pool and records periodic adjustments for factors such as deterioration of economic conditions, specific customer circumstances and changes in the aging of accounts receivable balances. For risk pools where there was no established loss history, S&P speculative-grade default rates are utilized to calculate an estimated loss rate. Losses are charged off in the period in which they are determined to be uncollectable.

The financial condition of the Company’s franchisees is largely dependent on the underlying business trends of its brands and market conditions within the casual dining restaurant industry.

See Note 2 - COVID-19 Charges for details regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s financial results.

The Company is also exposed to credit losses from off-balance sheet lease guarantees primarily related to the divestiture of certain formerly Company-owned restaurant sites. See Note 20 - Commitments and Contingencies for details regarding these lease guarantees.

On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). Accordingly, the applicable provisions of the CARES Act have been reflected in the Company’s tax provision for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020. The CARES Act, among other items, includes U.S. corporate tax provisions related to the deferment of employer social security payments, employee retention credits, net operating loss (“NOL”) carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credits, modifications to interest deduction limitations and technical corrections on tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property (“QIP”).

The effective income tax rate for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 increased by 24.0 and 23.8 percentage points as compared to the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2019. These increases were primarily due to the benefit of the tax credits for FICA taxes on certain employees’ tips and the forecasted 2020 pre-tax book loss.

As of December 29, 2019, the Company had $128.6 million in general business tax credits carryforwards, which have a 20-year carryforward period and are utilized on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company expects to increase its general business credit carryforwards in 2020 by approximately $30 million to $40 million as a result of additional credits generated in 2020 and the application of the QIP technical correction enacted as part of the CARES Act. The Company currently expects to utilize these tax credit carryforwards within a 10 year period. However, the Company’s ability to utilize these tax credits could be adversely impacted by, among other items, a future “ownership change” as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Company has a blended federal and state statutory rate of approximately 26%. The effective income tax rate for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to the benefit of tax credits for FICA taxes on certain employees’ tips.

Deferred Taxes - During the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020, Deferred income tax assets, net increased by $56.1 million primarily as a result of losses incurred during the period and tax credits for FICA taxes on certain employees’ tips.

20. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Other Matters - The Company had $4.2 million and $3.0 million of liabilities recorded for various legal matters as of June 28, 2020 and December 29, 2019, respectively.

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 and are generally covered by insurance if they exceed specified retention or deductible amounts. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to those actions will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations and cash flows.

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 28, 2020, the undiscounted payments that the Company could be required to make in the event of non-payment by the primary lessees was approximately $32.6 million. The present value of these potential payments discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of June 28, 2020 was approximately $20.5 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.

In March 2020, the Company recorded $4.2 million of additional contingent lease liability in response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 28, 2020, the Company’s recorded contingent lease liability was $9.6 million. See Note 2 - COVID-19 Charges for details regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s financial results.

21. Segment Reporting

The Company considers its restaurant concepts and international markets as operating segments, which reflects how the Company manages its business, reviews operating performance and allocates resources. Resources are allocated and performance is assessed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), whom the Company has determined to be its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The Company aggregates its operating segments into two reportable segments, U.S. and international. The U.S. segment includes all restaurants operating in the U.S. while restaurants operating outside the U.S. are included in the international segment. The following is a summary of reporting segments:
REPORTABLE SEGMENT (1) CONCEPT GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION
U.S. Outback Steakhouse United States of America
Carrabba’s Italian Grill
Bonefish Grill
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar
International Outback Steakhouse Brazil, Hong Kong/China
Carrabba’s Italian Grill (Abbraccio) Brazil
_________________
(1)Includes franchise locations.

Segment accounting policies are the same as those described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2019. Revenues for all segments include only transactions with customers and exclude intersegment revenues.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) - Continued
During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020, the Company recorded $2.4 million and $24.6 million, respectively, of pre-tax charges as a part of transformational initiatives implemented in connection with its previously announced review of strategic alternatives. These costs were primarily recorded within General and administrative expense and Provision for impaired assets and restaurant closings and were not allocated to the Company’s segments since the Company’s CODM does not consider the impact of transformational initiatives when assessing segment performance.

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 28, 2020, we owned and operated 1,151 restaurants and franchised 309 restaurants across 47 states, Puerto Rico, Guam and 20 countries. We have four founder-inspired concepts: Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar.
Executive Summary

Our financial results for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2020 (“second quarter of 2020”) include the following:

A decrease in Total revenues of 43.4% in the second quarter of 2020, as compared to the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to: (i) significantly lower comparable restaurant sales principally attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, (ii) the net impact of restaurant closures and openings, (iii) lower franchise revenue and (iv) the effect of foreign currency translation of the Brazil Real relative to the U.S. dollar.

Loss from operations of $(111.9) million in the second quarter of 2020, as compared to income from operations of $43.5 million in the second quarter of 2019, was primarily due to: (i) significantly lower comparable restaurant sales and costs incurred in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, including asset impairment charges, incremental delivery related costs and relief pay (net of tax credits) and (ii) higher labor costs and commodity inflation. These decreases are partially offset by: (i) reduced operating, advertising and utilities expense, (ii) cost savings from our restructuring and transformation initiatives and (iii) cost savings from waste reduction initiatives.

Recent Developments - COVID-19

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, governmental authorities took dramatic action in an effort to slow the spread of the disease. Along with many other restaurant businesses across the country, we temporarily limited our services in the U.S. to carry-out and delivery only beginning March 20, 2020. In early May 2020, we began to reopen our restaurant dining rooms with limited seating capacity in compliance with state and local regulations and as of June 28, 2020 we had reopened substantially all of our restaurant dining rooms with limited seating capacity. The temporary closure of our dining rooms and the limitations on seating capacity in our reopened dining rooms has resulted in significantly reduced traffic in our restaurants.

Recently, there has been a significant increase in reported COVID-19 cases in certain states, including Florida and Texas. This has resulted in some local governments responding by taking additional measures, including implementing a further reduction of in-restaurant capacity in certain locations. Although this is a developing situation, to this point these capacity reductions have had a minimal impact on overall sales trends.

When we are able to increase the capacity of our reopened dining rooms, it is uncertain whether customer traffic will return to levels prior to the outbreak of COVID-19. Even if consumer demand recovers, governmental restrictions may again limit the capacity of our dining rooms or services we may provide in the future. As a result, we expect our results for the foreseeable future will be significantly adversely impacted.

In response to the pandemic, we have tightly managed expenses while taking steps to secure our liquidity position. See the subsection below entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further details.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

Key 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 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, (Loss) 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 Cost of sales, Labor and other related and Other restaurant operating (including advertising expenses) represent, in each case as such items are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following categories of our revenue and operating expenses are not included in restaurant-level 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.
(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 Statement of Operations. 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 (Loss) 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 (loss) income from operations, Adjusted net (loss) income and Adjusted diluted (loss) 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.
35

BLOOMIN’ BRANDS, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
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 of Directors evaluate our operating performance, allocate resources and administer employee incentive plans; and

Customer satisfaction scores—measurement of our customers’ experiences in a variety of key areas.

relative to the U.S. dollar. The decrease in Restaurant sales was partially offset by the opening of 26 new restaurants not included in our comparable restaurant sales base.

The decrease in Restaurant sales during the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 was primarily due to: (i) significantly lower comparable restaurant sales principally attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, (ii) the closure of 49 restaurants since December 30, 2018, (iii) the effect of foreign currency translation of the Brazilian Real relative to the U.S. dollar and (iv) domestic refranchising.

During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020, we recognized asset impairment and closure charges related to the COVID-19 pandemic of $25.0 million and $56.3 million, respectively, in the U.S. segment (including the COVID-19 Restructuring) and $0.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively, in the international segment. We also recognized asset impairment charges related to transformational initiatives of $6.3 million during the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020, which were not allocated to our operating segments.

COVID-19 Restructuring - During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020, we recognized pre-tax asset impairments and closure costs of $20.9 million in connection with the closure of 22 restaurants and from the update of certain cash flow assumptions, including lease renewal considerations.

The remaining impairment and closing charges during the periods presented resulted primarily from locations identified for remodel, relocation or closure and certain other assets.

Loss from operations generated during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2020, as compared to income from operations during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to: (i) significantly lower comparable restaurant sales and costs incurred in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, including asset impairment charges, incremental delivery related costs and relief pay (net of tax credits) and (ii) higher labor costs and commodity inflation. These losses were partially offset by: (i) reduced operating, advertising and utilities expense, (ii) cost savings from our restructuring and transformation initiatives and (iii) cost savings from waste reduction initiatives.

The effective income tax rate for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 increased by 24.0 and 23.8 percentage points as compared to the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2019. These increases were primarily due to the benefit of the tax credits for FICA taxes on certain employees’ tips and the forecasted 2020 pre-tax book loss.

SEGMENT PERFORMANCE

We consider our restaurant concepts and international markets as operating segments, which reflects how we manage our business, review operating performance and allocate resources. Resources are allocated and performance is assessed by our CEO, whom we have determined to be our CODM. We aggregate our operating segments into two reportable segments, U.S. and international. The U.S. segment includes all restaurants operating in the U.S. while restaurants operating outside the U.S. are included in the international segment. The following is a summary of reporting segments:
REPORTABLE SEGMENT (1) CONCEPT GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION
U.S. Outback Steakhouse United States of America
Carrabba’s Italian Grill
Bonefish Grill
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar
International Outback Steakhouse Brazil, Hong Kong/China
Carrabba’s Italian Grill (Abbraccio) Brazil
_________________
(1)Includes franchise locations.

Revenues for both segments include only transactions with customers and exclude intersegment revenues. Excluded from (Loss) income from operations for U.S. and international are certain legal and corporate costs not directly related to the performance of the segments, most stock-based compensation expenses and certain bonus expenses.

During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020, we recorded $2.4 million and $24.6 million, respectively, of pre-tax charges as a part of transformational initiatives implemented in connection with our previously announced review of strategic alternatives. These costs were primarily recorded within General and administrative expense and Provision for impaired assets and restaurant closings and were not allocated to our segments since our CODM does not consider the impact of transformational initiatives when assessing segment performance.

Refer to Note 21 - Segment Reporting of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of segment (loss) income from operations to the consolidated operating results.

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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

The following table provides a summary of sales of franchised restaurants, 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.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
Liquidity and Capital Resources

LIQUIDITY

Typically, 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, payments on our debt, remodeling or relocating older restaurants, obligations related to our deferred compensation plans and investment in technology. Substantially all of our restaurants are currently operating at reduced capacities or, in some cases, off-premises only due to the COVID-19 pandemic which has negatively impacted our operating cashflows.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have tightly managed expenses while prioritizing supporting our workforce and our off-premises business. In addition, we have taken several precautionary measures to preserve liquidity, including the following:

we suspended our quarterly cash dividend and stock repurchases;
we significantly reduced marketing and tightly managed other expenses;
we substantially limited capital expenditures to facility maintenance in support of our off-premises business; and
we engaged in constructive dialogue with our landlords regarding rent abatements and deferrals.

The above actions are in addition to the significant cost cutting measures for fiscal 2020 that we announced and implemented earlier in the year.

In addition, on March 16, 2020, in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility, we drew down substantially all remaining availability under our revolving credit facility.

In May 2020, we issued $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.00% convertible senior notes due 2025. Net proceeds from the 2025 Notes were approximately $221.6 million, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discounts and commissions and our offering expenses. See “2025 Notes” below for additional details regarding the convertible senior notes.

In June 2020, we repaid $360.0 million on our revolving credit facility with cash on hand, a portion of which was proceeds from the 2025 Notes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - As of June 28, 2020, we had $181.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $26.7 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 28, 2020, we had aggregate accumulated foreign earnings of approximately $54.8 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 U.S. federal income tax. These amounts are no longer considered indefinitely reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries.

Closure and Restructuring Initiatives - Total aggregate future undiscounted cash expenditures of $12.1 million to $14.8 million related to lease liabilities for certain closure and restructuring initiatives are expected to occur over the remaining lease terms through January 2029.

Capital Expenditures - We estimate that our capital expenditures will total approximately $100.0 million to $110.0 million in 2020. The amount of actual capital expenditures may be affected by general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors, among other things, including restrictions imposed by our borrowing

arrangements. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, we are limited to $100.0 million of aggregate capital expenditures for the four fiscal quarters through March 28, 2021.

Credit Facilities - As of June 28, 2020, we had $1.3 billion of outstanding borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and 2025 Notes. Following is a summary of our outstanding credit facilities as of the dates indicated and principal payments and debt issuance during the period indicated:
SENIOR SECURED CREDIT FACILITY TOTAL CREDIT FACILITIES
(dollars in thousands) TERM LOAN A REVOLVING FACILITY 2025 NOTES
Balance as of December 29, 2019 $ 450,000    $ 599,000    $ —    $ 1,049,000

Balance as of June 28, 2020 $ 437,500    $ 615,000    $ 230,000    $ 1,282,500   
Weighted-average interest rate, as of June 28, 2020 2.90  % 2.89  % 5.00  %
Principal maturity date November 2022 November 2022 May 2025

As of June 28, 2020, we had $364.8 million in available unused borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, net of letters of credit of $20.2 million.

Amended Credit Agreement - On May 4, 2020, we and OSI, as co-borrowers, entered into the Amended Credit Agreement which provides relief for the financial covenant to maintain a specified quarterly TNLR. Without such amendment, violation of financial covenants under the original credit agreement could have resulted in default. The Amended Credit Agreement waives the TNLR requirement for the remainder of fiscal year 2020 and requires a TNLR based on a seasonally annualized calculation of Consolidated EBITDA not to exceed the following thresholds for the periods indicated:
QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MAXIMUM RATIO
March 28, 2021 (1) 5.50    to 1.00
June 27, 2021 (2) 5.00    to 1.00
September 26, 2021 and thereafter (3) 4.50    to 1.00
________________
(1)Seasonally annualized Consolidated EBITDA calculated as Consolidated EBITDA for the fiscal quarter ending March 28, 2021 divided by 34.1%.
(2)Seasonally annualized Consolidated EBITDA calculated as Consolidated EBITDA for the two consecutive quarters ending June 27, 2021 divided by 58.5%.
(3)Seasonally annualized Consolidated EBITDA calculated as Consolidated EBITDA for the three consecutive quarters ending September 26, 2021 divided by 77.0%.

Under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, we are required to meet minimum monthly liquidity threshold of $125.0 million through March 28, 2021, calculated as the sum of available capacity under our revolving credit facility, unrestricted domestic cash on hand and up to $25.0 million of unrestricted cash held by foreign subsidiaries. We are also prohibited from making certain restricted payments, investments or acquisitions until after September 26, 2021, with an exception for investments in our foreign subsidiaries which are capped at $27.5 million. Repurchasing shares of our outstanding common stock and paying dividends are also restricted until after September 26, 2021 under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement.

Interest rates under the Amended Credit Agreement are 275 and 175 basis points above the Eurocurrency Rate and Base Rate, respectively, and letter of credit fees and fees for the daily unused availability under the revolving credit facility are 2.75% and 0.40%, respectively, subject to reversion to rates under the original credit agreement when we

are in compliance with the TNLR covenant for the test period ending September 26, 2021. We are also subject to a 0% Eurocurrency floor under the Amended Credit Agreement.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains term loan mandatory prepayment requirements of 50% of our annual excess cash flow (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) after December 27, 2020. The amount outstanding required to be prepaid may vary based on our leverage ratio and year end results. Other than the annual required minimum amortization premiums of $31.3 million, we do not anticipate any other payments will be required through June 27, 2021.

As of June 28, 2020 and December 29, 2019, 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 8, 2020, we completed a $200.0 million principal amount private offering of 5.00% convertible senior notes due 2025 and on May 12, 2020, issued an additional $30.0 million principal amount in connection with the option granted to the initial purchasers as part of the offering. The 2025 Notes will mature on May 1, 2025, unless earlier converted, redeemed or purchased by us. The 2025 Notes bear cash interest at an annual rate of 5.00%, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2020.

The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2025 Notes is 84.122 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes, or a total of approximately 19.348 million shares for the total $230.0 million principal amount. This initial conversion rate is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $11.89 per share. We will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election, based on the applicable conversion rate. We expect to settle the principal amount of our outstanding convertible senior notes in cash and any excess in shares.

Net proceeds from this offering were approximately $221.6 million, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discounts and commissions and our offering expenses.

Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions - In connection with the offering of the 2025 Notes, we entered into Convertible Note Hedge Transactions with the Hedge Counterparties. Concurrently with our entry into the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions, we also entered into separate Warrant Transactions with the Hedge Counterparties collectively relating to the same number of shares of our common stock.

The portion of the net proceeds from our offering of the 2025 Notes that was used to pay the premium on the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions (calculated after taking into account our proceeds from the Warrant Transactions) was approximately $19.6 million.

See Note 12 - Convertible Senior Notes of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details regarding the convertible senior notes and related hedge and warrant transactions.

SUMMARY OF CASH FLOWS

The following table presents a summary of our cash flows (used in) provided by operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated:
TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED
(dollars in thousands) JUNE 28, 2020 JUNE 30, 2019
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities $ (3,313)   $ 132,443   
Net cash used in investing activities (48,001)   (73,854)  
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities 169,655    (63,415)  
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents (2,955)   (157)  
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 115,386    $ (4,983)  

Operating activities - Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities decreased during the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020, as compared to the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to a decrease in net restaurant sales and relief payments made to employees, net of employee retention tax credits as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These decreases were partially offset by: (i) decreased variable operating costs as a result of lower net restaurant sales, (ii) decreased rent payments, (iii) the timing of collections of receivables, (iv) deferral of payroll tax payments as a result of the CARES Act, (v) lower inventory purchases and (vi) lower income tax and interest payments.

Investing activities - Net cash used in investing activities during the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 primarily consisted of capital expenditures, partially offset by withdrawals from company-owned life insurance policies.

Net cash used in investing activities during the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2019 primarily consisted of capital expenditures, partially offset by proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions.

Financing activities - Net cash provided by financing activities during the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 primarily consisted of proceeds from issuance of convertible senior notes and related warrants transactions and drawdowns on our revolving credit facility, net of repayments, partially offset by: (i) premium payments for Convertible Note Hedge Transactions, (ii) payment of cash dividends on our common stock, (iii) the repayment of long-term debt, (iv) issuance costs and financing fees in connection with our 2025 Notes and Amended Credit Agreement and (v) partner equity plan payments.

Net cash used in financing activities during the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2019 primarily consisted of: (i) the repurchase of common stock, (ii) payment of cash dividends on our common stock, (iii) the repayment of long-term debt and (iv) partner equity plan payments. Net cash used in financing activities was partially offset by drawdowns on our revolving credit facility, net of repayments.

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 28, 2020 DECEMBER 29, 2019
Current assets $ 327,583    $ 340,468   
Current liabilities 810,838    962,021   
Working capital (deficit) $ (483,255)   $ (621,553)  

52

BLOOMIN’ BRANDS, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
The change in net working capital (deficit) during the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 is primarily due to: (i) cash proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Notes, (ii) a decrease in Accounts payable due to lower vendor activity and capital expenditures in connection with COVID-19 and (iii) a decrease in Unearned revenue related to the seasonal fluctuation of the sale and redemption of gift cards. Working capital (deficit) includes: (i) Unearned revenue primarily from unredeemed gift cards of $293.6 million and $369.3 million as of June 28, 2020 and December 29, 2019, respectively, and (ii) current operating lease liabilities of $177.2 million and $171.9 million as of June 28, 2020 and December 29, 2019, 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 are 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.

Deferred Compensation Programs - The deferred compensation obligation due to managing and chef partners was $35.5 million and $49.0 million as of June 28, 2020 and December 29, 2019, respectively. We invest in various corporate-owned life insurance policies (“COLI assets”), which are held within an irrevocable grantor or “rabbi” trust account for settlement of our obligations under the deferred compensation plans. The rabbi trust is funded through our voluntary contributions. The unfunded obligation for managing and chef partners’ deferred compensation was $0.1 million as of June 28, 2020.

We use capital to fund the deferred compensation plans and currently expect cash funding of $9.0 million to $11.0 million for 2020. We will also fund a portion of our 2020 obligation with $9.1 million expected to be withdrawn from our COLI assets in 2020. Through June 28, 2020 we have withdrawn $5.4 million of COLI assets to fund deferred compensation plan obligations. Actual funding of the deferred compensation obligations and future funding requirements may vary significantly depending on the actual performance compared to targets, timing of deferred payments of partner contracts, forfeiture rates, number of partner participants, growth of partner investments and our funding strategy.

Other Compensation Programs - Certain U.S. partners participate in a non-qualified long-term compensation program that we fund as the obligation for each participant becomes due.

DIVIDENDS AND SHARE REPURCHASES

We did not pay dividends or repurchase any shares of our outstanding common stock during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2020. The terms of our Amended Credit Agreement contain certain restrictions on cash dividends and share repurchases until after September 26, 2021 and we are compliant with our financial covenants.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

For a description of recently issued Financial Accounting Standards that we adopted during the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 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 Presentation of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in commodity prices. We believe that there have been no material changes in our market risk since December 29, 2019, except as set forth below. See Part II, Item 7A., “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2019 for further information regarding market risk.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are subject to foreign currency exchange risk for our restaurants operating in foreign countries. Our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk is primarily related to fluctuations in the Brazilian Real relative to the U.S. dollar. Our operations in other markets consist of Company-owned restaurants on a smaller scale than Brazil. If foreign currency exchange rates depreciate in the countries in which we operate, we may experience declines in our operating results. For the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020, a 10% change in average foreign currency rates against the U.S. dollar would have increased or decreased our Total revenues and Net (loss) income for our consolidated foreign entities by $16.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Currently, we do not enter into currency forward exchange or option contracts to hedge foreign currency exposures.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 28, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a description of our legal proceedings, see Note 20 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information discussed in this report, please consider the factors described in Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors” in our 2019 Form 10-K which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Other than the risk factor discussed below, there have not been any material changes to the risk factors described in our 2019 Form 10-K, but these are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted and is expected to continue to disrupt our business, and could continue to materially and adversely affect our business, revenues, financial condition and results of operations for an extended period of time.

COVID-19 was first detected in Wuhan, China in late 2019, and in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Governmental authorities around the world have since implemented measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, and COVID-19 and related preventative and protective measures have impacted, and are expected to continue to impact, our business globally, including through restaurant closures, reductions in operating hours, capacity restrictions and decreased restaurant traffic. In the United States and in foreign countries in which we operate, individuals are encouraged to practice social distancing, and numerous jurisdictions have imposed on a temporary or on-going basis, and others in the future may impose or reinstate, restrictions from gathering in groups, restriction from non-essential movements outside of ones’ home, shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar governmental orders and restrictions for residents to control the spread of COVID-19. While certain of these restrictions have been lifted or reduced in the past few months, the recent resurgence of cases has caused governments to slow or roll back their re-opening plans, and this trend may continue. These preventative and protective measures, which vary significantly across the jurisdictions where our restaurants are located. create a rapidly changing and complicated system for ensuring compliance and predicting our revenues and cost structure.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and these changing conditions, we have modified work hours for our team members, identified and implemented cost savings measures throughout our operations, shifted the majority of our corporate employees to remote working and temporarily limited our services in the U.S. to carry-out and delivery only beginning in March 2020. In early May 2020, we began to reopen our restaurant dining rooms with limited seating capacity in compliance with state and local regulations and, as of June 28, 2020, we had reopened substantially all of our restaurant dining rooms with limited seating capacity. The temporary closure of our dining rooms and the limitations on seating capacity in our reopened dining rooms has resulted in significantly reduced traffic in our restaurants.

In the normal course of business, the majority of our sales are generated through on-premises dining in our restaurants, and the COVID-19 pandemic has affected and will continue to adversely affect our guest traffic, sales and operating costs. Even with substantially all of our restaurant dining rooms open for on-premises dining, however there can be no assurances that on-premises sales will return to prior levels given capacity restrictions, continued uncertainties surrounding the economic and public health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or that any of the restaurants we have reopened, or any additional restaurants we may reopen in the future, will not be subject to additional closures or limitations on our capacity or the services we may provide. We are unable to accurately predict with certainty the ultimate impact that COVID-19 will have on our operations going forward due to uncertainties including the currently unknowable duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and impact of further
56

BLOOMIN’ BRANDS, INC.

governmental regulations that might be imposed or reinstated in response to the pandemic. The longer our restaurants remain closed to the public or under restrictions for on-premises dining, however, the greater impact we expect it will have on our financial results. In addition, if we revert to solely or primarily off-premises sales, there can be no assurance that our off-premises sales will grow or remain at levels experienced while our dining rooms were previously closed.

The COVID-19 outbreak has also adversely affected our ability to open new restaurants and remodel and relocate existing restaurants. Due to the uncertainty in the economy and to preserve liquidity, we have paused activities with respect to new locations, remodels and relocations, and limited capital spending to maintenance necessary to support our off-premises business. In addition, we have closed certain restaurants where conditions were unlikely to support profitable operations for the foreseeable future. These changes may materially adversely affect our ability to grow our business, particularly if these pauses are in place for a significant amount of time or further closures are appropriate.
In order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility, we have made significant draws under our revolving credit facility and issued $230.0 million of convertible senior notes. Our resulting aggregate debt levels have significantly increased from levels prior to COVID-19. Given the uncertainty of the severity, extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on our business and results of operations, the general risks associated with increased debt levels are exacerbated. In addition, although we entered into an Amended Credit Agreement and obtained covenant relief, there can be no assurance we can continue to comply with the revised covenants during the relief period or thereafter when they revert to prior levels if the COVID-19 pandemic lasts longer than expected or our business does not quickly recover afterward.
Our business is sensitive to changes in macroeconomic conditions that impact consumer spending. The rapid and diffuse spread of COVID-19 has had severe negative impacts on, among other things, real GDP growth, consumer confidence, financial markets, liquidity, economic conditions, employment levels, interest rates, tax rates, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, supply chain related costs and other macroeconomic trends and could continue to do so or could worsen for an unknown period of time. If the business interruptions caused by COVID-19 last longer than we expect or our assumptions regarding liquidity needs prove inaccurate, we may need to seek other sources of liquidity. The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting the availability of liquidity generally in the credit markets, and there can be no guarantee that additional liquidity will be readily available or available on favorable terms, especially the longer the COVID-19 pandemic lasts. In an effort to preserve liquidity, we have and may continue to take certain actions with respect to some or all of our leases, including negotiating with landlords to obtain rent abatement or deferrals, terminating certain leases or discontinuing payment. We can provide no assurances that forbearance of any lease obligations will be provided to us, or that, following the COVID-19 pandemic, we will be able to continue restaurant operations on the current terms of our existing leases, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business and results.

Our restaurant operations could be further disrupted if any of our employees are diagnosed with COVID-19, since this could require further restaurant closures and some or all of a restaurant’s employees to self-quarantine. If the employees of any of our third-party delivery service providers are diagnosed with COVID-19, or if the operations of these service providers are otherwise significantly impaired, our off-premises sales would also be adversely impacted. Our supply chain could similarly be adversely impacted. If our customers become ill, a significant percentage of our or our suppliers’ or distributors’ workforce is unable to work, or if there are similar disruptions in the supply chain generally for certain products, whether because of illness, quarantine, limitations on travel or other government restrictions in connection with COVID-19, we could face disruptions to restaurant operations, cost increases and shortages of food or other supplies, or reputational harm or negative publicity directed at our brands that causes customers to avoid our restaurants, potentially materially adversely affecting our operations and sales. This is particularly true given our reliance on a small number of suppliers and distributors for the beef we serve in our U.S. and Brazil restaurants. In 2019, we purchased approximately 95% of our U.S. beef raw materials from four beef suppliers that represent more than 80% of the total beef marketplace in the U.S., and approximately 90% of our Brazil beef raw materials from two beef suppliers that represent approximately 45% of the total Brazil beef marketplace. We also primarily use one supplier in the U.S. and Brazil, respectively, to process beef raw materials
57

BLOOMIN’ BRANDS, INC.

to our specifications and we use one distribution company to provide distribution services in the U.S and Brazil, respectively. Consequently, our operations could be adversely affected if any of these suppliers or distributors were unable to fulfill their responsibilities and we were unable to locate substitutes in a timely manner. Although we have not experienced material adverse impacts to date, additional or prolonged closures of meat processing facilities that have occurred due to the effects of COVID-19 could adversely impact our supply chain and the products that we offer.

In addition to decisions we have made and may make in the future relating to the compensation and benefits of our employees, additional government regulations or legislation as a result of COVID-19 could also have an adverse effect on our business. We cannot predict the types of government regulations or legislation that may be passed relating to employee compensation or benefits as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to support our off-premises business and ensure we would be prepared to re-open our restaurants to on-premises dining when permitted, we retained our restaurant management across all of our brands. We have taken and continue to evaluate compensation and benefit actions to support our restaurant team members during the COVID-19 business interruption, including relief pay to hourly employees and continued payments to employees who have been quarantined or who had a personal illness related to COVID-19. Those actions may be insufficient to compensate our team members for the entire duration of any business interruption resulting from COVID-19, and our team members might seek and find other employment during that interruption, which could adversely affect our ability to properly staff and reopen our restaurants with experienced team members when the business interruptions caused by COVID-19 abate or end.

In addition, the operations of our franchisees are subject to the same risks discussed above with respect to our business, and the COVID-19 pandemic could cause financial distress for the franchisees that have been or will be impacted. As a result of this distress, we have deferred certain of their payment obligations and, even with these actions, our franchisees may not be able to meet or will defer payment of their financial obligations as they come due, including the payment of royalties, rent or other amounts due to the Company. In addition, our franchisees may not be able to make payments to landlords and key suppliers, as well as payments to service any debt they have outstanding. In some cases, we are contingently liable for franchisee lease obligations, and a failure by a franchisee to perform its obligations under such lease could result in direct payment obligations for us.

In addition, we have and could continue to experience other material impacts as a result of COVID-19, including, but not limited to, impairment charges. We cannot accurately predict the amount and timing of any further impairment of assets. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indication of impairment exists and the COVID-19 pandemic has made developing forecasts for, and the accounting of, valuation of goodwill and certain other assets slower and more difficult. Should the value of goodwill or other intangible or long-lived assets become further impaired, there could be an adverse effect on our financial condition and consolidated results of operations. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in “Risk Factors” under Item 1A and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” under Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K that we filed with the SEC on February 26, 2020, including without limitation risks relating to competition in the restaurant industry, consumer preferences and perceptions, our level of indebtedness, availability of adequate capital, our ability to execute business plans related to remodeling, relocation and expansions, our lease obligations, our franchisees, disruptions to our supply chain and third-party delivery service providers, foreign currency exchange rates, regulatory restrictions and compliance, government proceedings or litigation arising out of claims from our customers, employees, business partners and stockholders, vulnerability of our data systems and volatility in the price of our common stock.
