References to the Company throughout these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements are made using the first person notations of “we,” “us” and “our.” Basis of presentation — The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain prior period information on the consolidated statement of cash flows has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2021 (“2021 Form 10-K”). The accounting policies used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in our 2021 Form 10-K. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition and results of operations for these interim periods have been included. Operating results for one interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim period or for the full year. Segment reporting — The Company is comprised of one operating segment. Fiscal year — Our fiscal year is 52 or 53 weeks ending the Sunday closest to September 30. Fiscal years 2022 and 2021 include 52 and 53 weeks, respectively. Our first quarter includes 16 weeks and all other quarters include 12 weeks, with the exception of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, which includes 13 weeks. All comparisons between 2022 and 2021 refer to the 16 weeks (“quarter”) ended January 23, 2022 and January 17, 2021, respectively, unless otherwise indicated. Use of estimates — In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make certain assumptions and estimates that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the disclosure of contingencies. In making these assumptions and estimates, management may from time to time seek advice and consider information provided by actuaries and other experts in a particular area. Actual amounts could differ materially from these estimates. Advertising costs — We administer a marketing fund that includes contractual contributions. In 2022 and 2021, marketing fund contributions from franchise and company-operated restaurants were approximately 5.0% of gross revenues. Total contributions made by the Company are included in “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of earnings and for the quarter totaled $6.1 million and $5.8 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. Recent accounting pronouncements — The Company reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
