LEASES

Jun. 26, 2024

As of June 26, 2024, 1,121 of our 1,171 Company-owned restaurant facilities were leased. We typically lease our restaurant facilities through ground leases (where we lease land only, but construct the building and leasehold improvements) or retail leases (where we lease the land/retail space and building, but construct the leasehold improvements). As of June 26, 2024, the restaurant leases have cumulative renewal clauses of 3 to 30 years at our option. Our leased restaurants typically have an initial lease term of 10 to 20 years, with one or more renewal terms ranging from 1 to 10 years. The leases typically provide for a fixed rental or a fixed rental plus percentage rentals based on sales volume. In addition to our restaurant facilities, we also lease our corporate headquarters location and certain equipment. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material covenant restrictions.

(1)Non-cash operating lease assets obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities were higher in fiscal 2022 primarily due to the new and assumed operating lease additions associated with the 68 restaurants purchased from three former franchisees, including sale leaseback transactions on six of the acquired restaurants. The combined transactions resulted in increased operating lease assets of $86.8 million as of the end of fiscal 2022, and cash proceeds of $20.5 million were received from the sale leaseback transactions. Additionally, the modifications of 25 leases in fiscal 2022 from finance leases to operating leases, resulted in increased operating lease assets of $47.9 million.
