Leases [Abstract] |
Leases | 3. Leases Lessor Operating Leases The Company subleases certain retail space to our franchisees in the UK, which are primarily operating leases. At September 28, 2025, we leased and subleased approximately 340 Papa Johns restaurants to franchisees in the UK. The initial lease terms on the franchised sites in the UK are generally 15 years. The Company has the option to negotiate an extension toward the end of the lease term at the landlord’s discretion. The initial lease terms of the franchisee subleases are generally five to ten years. Rental income, primarily derived from properties leased and subleased to franchisees in the UK, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective operating lease terms. The Company recognized total sublease income of $2.4 million and $7.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025, respectively, and $2.7 million and $7.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2024, respectively, within Other revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Lease Guarantees As a result of assigning our interest in obligations under property leases as a condition of the refranchising of certain restaurants, we are contingently liable for payment of approximately 70 Domestic leases. These leases have varying terms, the latest of which expires in 2036. As of September 28, 2025, the estimated maximum amount of undiscounted payments the Company could be required to make in the event of nonpayment by the primary lessees was $8.9 million. This contingent liability is not included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as it is not probable to occur. The fair value of the guarantee is not material. Supplemental Cash Flow & Other Information Supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the periods reported is as follows:
