COVID-19 Pandemic | COVID-19 Pandemic Overview Due to the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, we have navigated and continue to navigate an unprecedented time for our business and industry as we collectively work to combat the global crisis. With the health, safety, and well-being of Red Robin's Team Members, Guests, and communities as our top priority, we immediately shifted our restaurants to an off-premise model and are strictly adhering to US Centers for Disease Control ("CDC"), state, and local guidelines as we have begun to reopen our dining rooms to our Guests and Team Members. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a material effect on our business, and we expect the impact from COVID-19 will continue to negatively affect our business through the remainder of fiscal year 2020. Franchise Revenue In response to COVID-19's effect on our franchisee's operations, we temporarily abated franchise royalty payments and advertising contributions effective March 20, 2020. During periods of abated payments, franchise revenue is not recognized under GAAP or collected from our franchise partners. Franchised restaurants operate under contractual arrangements with the Company, and the payments specified in the franchise contracts will be accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Rent In response to the impact of COVID-19 on our operations, beginning April 1, 2020 the Company has not made full lease payments under its existing lease agreements. During the suspension of payments, the Company continued to recognize expenses and liabilities for lease obligations and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet in accordance with ASC Topic 842. We have engaged in ongoing constructive discussions with landlords regarding the potential restructuring of lease payments and rent concessions. We will elect to recognize any contractual rent concessions reached in the future as a variable credit to rent expense as opposed to a lease modification consistent with the relief issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board titled ASC Topic 842 and ASC Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Contractual rent concessions expected to be agreed to cannot be reasonably determined at this time based on the status of discussions with our landlords. Goodwill The Company determined the sustained decrease in our stock price coupled with the closure of our dining rooms and significant decline to the equity value of our peers and overall U.S. stock market represented a goodwill impairment triggering event. We performed a quantitative analysis as of our first quarter ended April 19, 2020 to determine if impairment to our goodwill existed for our one reporting unit. We used a blended approach in calculating fair value of our one reporting unit including the income approach, market approach, and market capitalization approach. This analysis resulted in full impairment of our goodwill balance totaling $95.4 million recognized during the sixteen weeks ended April 19, 2020 included in Other charges on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. The goodwill impairment was measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeded its fair value. Restaurant Assets The Company determined the triggering event described above also represented a restaurant asset impairment triggering event. The Company recognized $15.5 million of impairment related to restaurant assets during the sixteen weeks ended April 19, 2020 included in Other charges on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income resulting from the continuing and projected future results of 24 Company-owned restaurants. Recoverability of restaurant assets, including restaurant sites, leasehold improvements, information technology systems, right-of-use assets, amortizable intangible assets, and other fixed assets, to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. Identifiable cash flows are measured at the lowest level for which they are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities, generally at the restaurant level. Each restaurant's past and present operating performance was reviewed in combination with projected future results primarily through projected undiscounted cash flows that included management's expectation of future financial impacts from COVID-19. If the restaurant assets were determined to be impaired through comparison of the assets carrying value to its undiscounted cash flows, the Company compared the carrying amount of each restaurant's assets to its fair value as estimated by management to calculate the impairment amount. The fair value of restaurant assets is generally determined using a discounted cash flow projection model, which is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and represents a level 3 fair value measurement. In certain cases, management uses other market information, when available, to estimate the fair value of a restaurant's assets. The restaurant asset impairment charges represent the excess of the carrying amount over the estimated fair value of the restaurant assets calculated using a discounted cash flow projection model. Additional restaurant asset impairment may be required to be recognized if the COVID-19 pandemic continues to negatively impact our business. Valuation Allowance on Deferred Tax Assets In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the future reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and projected taxable income, including whether future originating deductible temporary differences are likely to be realized. The March 19, 2020 passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") created an opportunity for the Company to carry back 2019 and 2020 projected net operating losses ("NOL's") to generate up to $12 million of projected cash tax refunds within the next 12 months. As a result of these projected NOL carrybacks, approximately $38 million of the previously utilized FICA tip tax credits will be reinstated. As of April 19, 2020 the existing $52 million FICA tip credit carryforwards will be utilized based on projected future taxable income, however they are anticipated to be replaced by originating FICA tip credits that are not projected to be utilized in the carry forward period. Therefore, a $52 million valuation allowance has been established for the FICA tip credit carryforwards. To the extent future actual taxable income exceeds the current projections, the FICA tip credit carryforwards may become realizable. Borrowings During the first quarter ended April 19, 2020, the Company made draws of $94 million on its revolving line of credit to provide operating liquidity while our restaurant dining rooms remain closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of April 19, 2020, our credit facility was fully drawn. Subsequent Event - Credit Agreement Amendment On May 29, 2020, the Company entered into the Amendment which amends the Company's Credit Facility as follows: •increased the pricing under the Credit Facility for (a) the period of the Amendment Effective Date through the first interest determination date occurring after the fiscal quarter ending on or about April 18, 2021 to LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% LIBOR floor) plus 3.25% and (b) periods thereafter to the amounts set forth in a grid included in the Amendment (to which a 1.00% LIBOR floor shall apply); •waived the existing events of default under the Credit Facility related to the Company's failure to comply with the financial covenants as of April 19, 2020 •suspended the application of (a) the Lease Ratio Covenant and (b) the FCCR Covenant, in each case, for the fiscal quarter ending on July 12, 2020; •if the Company issues new equity (or convertible debt) generating net cash proceeds of at least $25 million (the "Minimum Capital Event"), (a) suspend the application of the Leverage Ratio Covenant and FCCR Covenant, in each case, for the fiscal quarters ending on October 4, 2020 and December 27, 2020 and (b) increase the maximum leverage permitted for purposes of the Leverage Ratio Covenant for each of the first three fiscal quarters ending in 2021; •Additionally, (a) the Leverage Ratio Covenant will be calculated using a seasonally adjusted annualized consolidated EBITDA for the applicable period since the beginning of fiscal year 2021 and (b) the FCCR Covenant will be calculated only for the applicable period since the beginning of fiscal year 2021; •added a minimum liquidity covenant, measured as of the last day of each fiscal month, that applies during the period commencing on the Amendment Effective Date through March 21, 2021; •subject to limited exceptions, prohibit expansion capital expenditures, restricted payments, acquisitions, and other investments until the later of (a) the Company's delivery of a compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ending on or about July 11, 2021 demonstrating compliance with the financial covenants then in effect and (b) the Company satisfying an agreed ratio under its Leverage Ratio Covenant for the most recently ended fiscal quarter or fiscal year, as applicable; •added a maximum cash balance limitation requiring revolver repayments (but with no associated permanent reduction in the revolver) to the extent that the Company's consolidated cash on hand exceeds $30 million as of the end of any fiscal month; •revised the conditions precedent to the revolver borrowings so that certain effects of COVID-19 are excluded for purposes of certain representations and warranties that must be true and correct as conditions to revolving borrowings; •required mandatory prepayments from net cash proceeds of equity (or convertible debt) issuances that exceed amounts set forth in the Amendment; and •provided for certain additional financial reporting requirements under the Credit Facility. As conditions to the Amendment, the Company (a) repaid the revolving loans, so that the amount of the Company's consolidated cash on hand did not exceed $30 million as of the Amendment Effective Date totaling $59 million and (b) paid certain customary amendment fees to the lenders under the Credit Facility totaling approximately $1.1 million which will be capitalized as deferred loan fees and amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Facility.
