Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | BASIS OF PRESENTATION References to “Brinker,” the "Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” in this Form 10-Q are references to Brinker International, Inc. and its subsidiaries and any predecessor companies of Brinker International, Inc. Our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of December 27, 2017 and June 28, 2017 and for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended December 27, 2017 and December 28, 2016 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We are principally engaged in the ownership, operation, development, and franchising of the Chili’s® Grill & Bar (“Chili’s”) and Maggiano’s Little Italy® (“Maggiano’s”) restaurant brands. At December 27, 2017, we owned, operated or franchised 1,682 restaurants in the United States and 31 countries and two territories outside of the United States. The foreign currency translation adjustment included in comprehensive income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income represents the unrealized impact of translating the financial statements of our Canadian restaurants and our Mexican joint venture (prior to divestiture) from their respective functional currencies to U.S. dollars. This amount is not included in net income and would only be realized upon disposition of the businesses. The accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") is presented on the consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, certain prior year balances in the consolidated balance sheets have been reclassified to conform with fiscal 2018 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on our net income as previously reported and an immaterial impact on our prior year consolidated balance sheets. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718). This update changed the recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies resulting from the settlement of share-based awards from an adjustment to additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets to an adjustment to the provision for income taxes on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and is applied on a prospective basis. This update also changed the classification of excess tax benefits from cash flows from financing activities to cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows and is applied retrospectively. This update was effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, which required us to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Accordingly, we recognized a discrete tax benefit of $0.4 million in the provision for income taxes, which resulted in an increase in diluted net income per share of $0.01 in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the thirteen week period ended December 27, 2017. We recognized a discrete tax expense of $1.2 million in the provision for income taxes, which resulted in a decrease in diluted net income per share of $0.03, in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the twenty-six week period ended December 27, 2017. The inclusion of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies within our provision for income taxes will increase its volatility as the amount of excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies from share-based compensation awards depends on our stock price at the date the awards vest. In addition, we reclassified $1.7 million of excess tax benefits received in the first six months of fiscal 2017 from cash flows from financing activities to cash flows from operating activities on our consolidated statement of cash flows for the twenty-six week period ended December 28, 2016. The adoption of the other provisions in this update, including the accounting policy election for accounting for forfeitures, the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes and still qualify for equity classification and the classification of those taxes paid on the statement of cash flows, had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. We will continue to estimate forfeitures of share-based awards. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary to fairly state the interim operating results, financial position and cash flows for the respective periods. However, these operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. The notes to the consolidated financial statements (unaudited) should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the June 28, 2017 Form 10-K. We believe the disclosures are sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes.
