Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of significant accounting policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation - The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Bloomin’ Brands and its subsidiaries. To ensure timely reporting, the Company consolidates the results of its Brazil operations on a one-month calendar lag. There were no intervening events that would materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of and for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2015. Principles of Consolidation - All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company consolidates variable interest entities where it has been determined the Company is the primary beneficiary of those entities’ operations. The Company is a franchisor of 171 restaurants as of December 27, 2015, but does not possess any ownership interests in its franchisees and generally does not provide financial support to its franchisees. These franchise relationships are not deemed variable interest entities and are not consolidated. Investments in entities the Company does not control, but where the Company’s interest is generally between 20% and 50% and the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the entity are accounted for under the equity method. Prior to November 1, 2013, the Company held a 50% ownership interest in PGS Consultoria e Serviços Ltda. (the “Brazil Joint Venture”) through a joint venture arrangement with PGS Participações Ltda (“PGS Par”). Effective November 1, 2013, the Company acquired a controlling interest in the Brazil Joint Venture resulting in the consolidation of this entity. Prior to the acquisition, the Company accounted for the Brazil Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting (see Note 3 - Acquisitions). The Company’s share of earnings or losses for the Brazil Joint Venture are recorded in Income from operations of unconsolidated affiliates in its Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. In March 2015, Bloom Participacoes Ltda. (“BPar”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and BPG Participacoes Ltda. (“BPG”) formed a joint venture for the purpose of operating Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar restaurants in Brazil (“Fleming’s Brazil”). BPG, which includes current and former employees, and current shareholders of Outback Steakhouse in Brazil, holds an 80% ownership interest in Fleming’s Brazil. BPar holds the remaining 20%, which the Company accounts for under the equity method of accounting. Fiscal Year - Beginning in 2014, the Company changed its fiscal year end from a calendar year ending on December 31 to a 52-53 week year ending on the last Sunday in December, effective with fiscal year 2014. In a 52 week fiscal year, each of the Company’s quarterly periods comprise 13 weeks. The additional week in a 53 week fiscal year is added to the fourth quarter, making such quarter consist of 14 weeks. The Company made the fiscal year change on a prospective basis and did not adjust operating results for prior periods. The following table presents the impact of the change in the Company’s fiscal year on its Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the periods indicated:
FISCAL YEAR |  | FISCAL YEAR CHANGE IMPACT (in operating days) |  | INCREASE/(DECREASE) (dollars in millions)
|  | RESTAURANT SALES |  | NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO BLOOMIN’ BRANDS
2015 |  | 2 |  | $ | 24.3 |  |  | $ | 4.9 |
2014 |  | (3) |  | $ | (46.0 | ) |  | $ | (9.2 | )
Use of Estimates - The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated. Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash equivalents consist of investments that are readily convertible to cash with an original maturity date of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents include $60.7 million and $48.0 million, as of December 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014, respectively, for amounts in transit from credit card companies since settlement is reasonably assured. Concentrations of Credit and Counterparty Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are vendor and other receivables. Vendor and other receivables consist primarily of amounts due from vendor rebates and gift card resellers, respectively. The Company considers the concentration of credit risk for vendor and other receivables to be minimal due to the payment histories and general financial condition of its vendors and gift card resellers. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of counterparty risk are cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and derivatives. The Company attempts to limit its counterparty risk by investing in certificates of deposit, money market funds, noninterest-bearing accounts and other highly rated investments. Whenever possible, the Company selects investment grade counterparties and rated money market funds in order mitigate its counterparty risk. At times, cash balances may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. See Note 16 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for a discussion of the Company’s use of derivative instruments and management of credit risk inherent in derivative instruments. Fair Value - 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
Inventories - Inventories consist of food and beverages and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Restricted Cash - The Company has both current and long-term restricted cash balances consisting of amounts: (i) held for fulfillment of certain loan provisions, (ii) restricted for the payment of property taxes, (iii) pledged for settlement of deferred compensation plan obligations and (iv) held in escrow for certain indemnifications associated with the sale of Roy’s. Property, Fixtures and Equipment - Property, fixtures and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. Improvements to leased properties are depreciated over the shorter of their useful life or the lease term, which includes renewal periods that are reasonably assured. Estimated useful lives by major asset category are generally as follows:
Buildings and building improvements | 20 to 30 years
Furniture and fixtures | 5 to 7 years
Equipment | 2 to 7 years
Leasehold improvements | 5 to 20 years
Capitalized software | 3 to 7 years
Repair and maintenance costs that maintain the appearance and functionality of the restaurant, but do not extend the useful life of any restaurant asset are expensed as incurred. The Company suspends depreciation and amortization for assets held for sale. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or disposed are removed from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, and any resulting gain or loss is generally recognized in Other restaurant operating expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company capitalizes direct and indirect internal costs associated with the acquisition, development, design and construction of Company-owned restaurant locations as these costs have a future benefit to the Company. Upon restaurant opening, these costs are depreciated and charged to depreciation and amortization expense. Internal costs of $8.0 million, $8.7 million and $9.1 million were capitalized during fiscal years 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For fiscal years 2015 and 2014, software development costs of $4.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively, were capitalized. As of December 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014, there were $27.9 million and $30.6 million, respectively, of unamortized software development costs included in Property, fixtures and equipment in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Goodwill and Intangible Assets - Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations and is assigned to the reporting unit in which the acquired business will operate. The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, as of the first day of the second fiscal quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit is impaired. If the qualitative assessment is not performed or if the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, the fair value of the reporting unit is calculated. The carrying value of the reporting unit is compared to its estimated fair value, with any excess of carrying value over fair value deemed to be an indicator of potential impairment, in which case a second step is performed comparing the recorded amount of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets to the implied fair value. Definite-lived intangible assets, which consist primarily of trademarks, franchise agreements, reacquired franchise rights, favorable leases, and other long-lived assets, are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment, using the discounted cash flow method, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Derivatives - The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. If the derivative qualifies for hedge accounting treatment, then the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recognized in equity as a change to Accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is immediately recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements, foreign currency exchange rate movements and other identified risks. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings. The Company has elected not to offset derivative positions in the balance sheet with the same counterparty under the same agreement. Deferred Financing Fees - For fees associated with its revolving credit facility, the Company records deferred financing fees related to the issuance of debt obligations in Other assets, net. For fees associated with all other debt obligations, the Company records deferred financing fees in Long-term debt, net. The Company amortizes deferred financing fees to interest expense over the term of the respective financing arrangement, primarily using the effective interest method. The Company amortized deferred financing fees of $2.9 million, $3.1 million and $3.6 million to interest expense for fiscal years 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Liquor Licenses - The costs of obtaining non-transferable liquor licenses directly issued by local government agencies for nominal fees are expensed as incurred. The costs of purchasing transferable liquor licenses through open markets in jurisdictions with a limited number of authorized liquor licenses are capitalized as indefinite-lived intangible assets and included in Other assets, net. Annual liquor license renewal fees are expensed over the renewal term. Insurance Reserves - The Company self-insures or maintains high per-claim deductibles for a significant portion of expected losses under its workers’ compensation, general liability/liquor liability, health, property and management liability insurance programs. The Company records a liability for all unresolved claims and for an estimate of incurred but not reported claims at the anticipated cost to the Company. In establishing reserves, the Company considers certain actuarial assumptions and judgments regarding economic conditions, the frequency and severity of claims, claim development history and settlement practices. Reserves recorded for workers’ compensation and general liability claims are discounted using the average of the one-year and five-year risk free rate of monetary assets that have comparable maturities. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - The Company consolidates Outback Steakhouse subsidiaries in Brazil and China, each of which have noncontrolling interests that are permitted to deliver subsidiary shares in exchange for cash at a future date. The Company believes that it is probable that the noncontrolling interests will become redeemable. The Redeemable noncontrolling interests are reported at their estimated redemption value measured as the greater of estimated fair value at the end of each reporting period or the historical cost basis of the redeemable noncontrolling interest adjusted for cumulative earnings or loss allocations. The resulting increases or decreases to fair value, if applicable, are recognized as adjustments to Retained earnings, or in the absence of Retained earnings, Additional paid-in capital. The estimated fair value of Redeemable noncontrolling interests are measured quarterly using the income approach, based on a discounted cash flow methodology, with projected cash flows as the significant input. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are classified in Mezzanine equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Share Repurchase - Shares repurchased are retired. The par value of the repurchased shares is deducted from common stock and the excess of the purchase price over the par value of the shares is recorded to Accumulated deficit. Revenue Recognition - The Company records food and beverage revenues, net of discounts, upon sale. Initial and developmental franchise fees are recognized as income once the Company has substantially performed all of its material obligations under the franchise agreement, which is generally upon the opening of the franchised restaurant. Continuing royalties, which are a percentage of net sales of the franchisee, are recognized as income when earned. Franchise-related revenues are included in Other revenues in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company defers revenue for gift cards, which do not have expiration dates, until redemption by the consumer. Gift cards sold at a discount are recorded as revenue upon redemption of the associated gift cards at an amount net of the related discount. The Company also recognizes gift card breakage revenue for gift cards when the likelihood of redemption by the consumer is remote, which the Company determined are those gift cards issued on or before three years prior to the balance sheet date. The Company recorded breakage revenue of $22.9 million, $18.8 million and $16.3 million for fiscal years 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Breakage revenue is recorded as a component of Restaurant sales in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Gift card sales commissions paid to third-party providers are initially capitalized and subsequently recognized as Other restaurant operating expenses upon redemption of the associated gift card. Deferred expenses of $16.1 million and $15.6 million as of December 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014, respectively, were reflected in Other current assets, net in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gift card sales that are accompanied by a bonus gift card to be used by the consumer at a future visit result in a separate deferral of a portion of the original gift card sale. Revenue is recorded when the bonus card is redeemed at the estimated fair market value of the bonus card. The Company collects and remits sales, food and beverage, alcoholic beverage and hospitality taxes on transactions with consumers and reports revenue net of taxes in its Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Operating Leases - Rent expense for the Company’s operating leases, which generally have escalating rentals over the term of the lease and may include rent holidays, is recorded on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term and those renewal periods that are reasonably assured. The difference between rent expense and rent paid is recorded as deferred rent and is included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Payments received from landlords as incentives for leasehold improvements are recorded as deferred rent and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease as a reduction of rent expense. Favorable and unfavorable lease assets and liabilities are amortized on a straight-line basis to rent expense over the remaining lease term. Pre-Opening Expenses - Non-capital expenditures associated with opening new restaurants are expensed as incurred and are included in Other restaurant operating expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Consideration Received from Vendors - The Company receives consideration for a variety of vendor-sponsored programs, such as volume rebates, promotions and advertising allowances. Advertising allowances are intended to offset the Company’s costs of promoting and selling menu items in its restaurants. Vendor consideration is recorded as a reduction of Cost of sales or Other restaurant operating expenses when recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Costs Associated with Exit Activities - Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation is performed at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows independent of other assets. For long-lived assets deployed at its restaurants, the Company reviews for impairment at the individual restaurant level. When evaluating for impairment, the total future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are compared to the carrying amount. If the total future undiscounted cash flows of the asset are less than its carrying amount, recoverability is measured by comparing the fair value of the assets to the carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized in earnings when the asset’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair value is generally estimated using a discounted cash flow model. Generally, restaurant closure costs, including lease termination fees, are expensed as incurred. When the Company ceases using the property rights under a non-cancelable operating lease, it records a liability for the net present value of any remaining lease obligations as a result of lease termination, less the estimated sublease income that can reasonably be obtained for the property. Any subsequent adjustments to that liability as a result of lease termination or changes in estimates of sublease income are recorded in the period incurred. The associated expense is recorded in Provision for impaired assets and restaurant closings in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Restaurant sites and certain other assets to be sold are included in assets held for sale when certain criteria are met, including the requirement that the likelihood of selling the assets within one year is probable. Advertising Costs - Advertising production costs are expensed in the period when the advertising first occurs. All other advertising costs are expensed in the period in which the costs are incurred. Advertising expense of $161.6 million, $191.1 million and $182.4 million for fiscal years 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, was recorded in Other restaurant operating expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Legal Costs - Settlement costs are accrued when they are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. Legal fees are recognized as incurred and are reported in General and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Research and Development Expenses (“R&D”) - R&D is expensed as incurred in General and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. R&D primarily consists of payroll and benefit costs. R&D was $6.5 million, $5.8 million and $6.4 million for fiscal years 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Partner Compensation - The Restaurant Managing Partner of each Company-owned U.S. restaurant and the Chef Partner of each Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, as well as Area Operating Partners, generally receive bonuses for providing management and supervisory services to their restaurants based on a percentage of their associated restaurants’ monthly cash flows (“Monthly Payments”). The expense associated with the Monthly Payments for Restaurant Managing Partners and Chef Partners is included in Labor and other related expenses, and the expense associated with the Monthly Payments for Area Operating Partners is included in General and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Restaurant Managing Partners and Chef Partners in the U.S. that are eligible to participate in a deferred compensation program receive an unsecured promise of a cash contribution to their account (see Note 6 - Stock-based and Deferred Compensation Plans). On the fifth anniversary of the opening of each new U.S. Company-owned restaurant, the Area Operating Partner supervising the restaurant during the first five years of operation receives an additional bonus based upon the average distributable cash flow of the restaurant for the preceding 24 months. In addition to Monthly Payments and deferred compensation, Area Operating Partners, Restaurant Managing Partners and Chef Partners in the U.S. whose restaurants and concepts achieve certain targets, including sales, profitability and traffic growth, are eligible to receive an annual bonus equal to a percentage of the restaurant’s incremental sales increase. The Company estimates future bonuses and deferred compensation obligations to Restaurant Managing, Chef Partners and Area Operating Partners, using current and historical information on restaurant performance and records the long-term portion of partner obligations in Other long-term liabilities, net in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred compensation expenses for Restaurant Managing and Chef partners are included in Labor and other related expenses and bonus expense for Area Operating Partners is included in General and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Stock-based Compensation - Stock-based compensation awards are measured at fair value at the date of grant and expensed over their vesting or service periods. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized only for those awards expected to vest. The expense, net of forfeitures, is recognized using the straight-line method. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions - For all significant non-U.S. operations, the functional currency is the local currency. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date with the translation adjustments recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting period. The Company recorded foreign currency exchange transaction losses of $1.2 million, $0.7 million and $0.2 million for fiscal years 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Foreign currency exchange transaction losses are recorded in General and administrative in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Income Taxes - Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of the rate change. A valuation allowance may reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company records a tax benefit for an uncertain tax position using the highest cumulative tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company adjusts its liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the period in which it determines the issue is effectively settled, the statute of limitations expires or when more information becomes available. Liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits, including penalties and interest, are recorded in Accrued and other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Recently Adopted Financial Accounting Standards - In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”(“ASU No. 2015-17”), which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. ASU No. 2015-17 provides presentation requirements to classify deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The Company adopted this standard as of September 28, 2015, with prospective application. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-17 had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03: “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU No. 2015-03”). ASU No. 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. Since ASU No. 2015-03 did not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15: “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements” (“ASU No. 2015-15”) in August 2015. ASU No. 2015-15 clarifies that debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements may be presented as an asset and subsequently amortized over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. ASU No. 2015-03 requires retrospective application. The Company elected to adopt ASU No. 2015-03 and ASU No. 2015-15 as of December 27, 2015. Prior periods have been retrospectively recast. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-03 and ASU No. 2015-15 had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and resulted in the following reclassification in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 28, 2014 (dollars in thousands):
Assets: |
Other current assets, net | $ | (1,826 | )
Other assets, net | $ | (4,220 | )
Liabilities: |
Current portion of long-term debt, net | $ | (1,826 | )
Long-term debt, net | $ | (4,220 | )
Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted - In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15: “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU No. 2014-15”). ASU No. 2014-15 will explicitly require management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The new standard is applicable for all entities and will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2016. The Company does not expect ASU No. 2014-15 to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue Recognition (Topic 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU No. 2014-09”). ASU No. 2014-09 provides a single source of guidance for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition standards. Under ASU No. 2014-09, revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration an entity expects to receive for the transfer of goods and services. On July 9, 2015, the FASB agreed to delay the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. As a result, the new guidance will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2018 and is applied retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment at the date of adoption. The Company has not selected a transition method and is evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Recent accounting guidance not discussed above is not applicable, did not have, or is not expected to have a material impact to the Company. Out-of-Period Adjustments - In the third quarter of 2015, the Company identified and corrected errors in accounting for the allocation of foreign currency translation adjustments (“CTA”) to Redeemable noncontrolling interests and fair value adjustments for Redeemable noncontrolling interests. Management evaluated the materiality of the errors from a qualitative and quantitative perspective and concluded that the errors were immaterial to the current and prior periods. As a result, the Company recorded the cumulative adjustment in its Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity and Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income for fiscal year 2015:
