NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1.    Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of the Business - Bloomin’ Brands (“Bloomin’ Brands” or the “Company”) owns and operates casual, upscale casual and fine dining restaurants. The Company’s restaurant portfolio has four concepts: Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar. Additional Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s Italian Grill and Bonefish Grill restaurants in which the Company has no direct investment are operated under franchise agreements.

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary for fair financial statement presentation for the periods presented have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2021.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted - In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-10, “Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance” (“ASU No. 2021-10”), which requires financial statement footnote disclosure regarding government assistance accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. ASU No. 2021-10 is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 25, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2021-10 will have on its financial statement disclosures.

Recent accounting guidance not discussed herein is not applicable, did not have, or is not expected to have a material impact to the Company.

Reclassifications - The Company reclassified certain items in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for prior periods to be comparable with the classification for the current period, including, but not limited to, presentation of certain items within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and certain notes to the consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.

3.    Earnings Per Share

In February 2021, the Company provided the trustee of its convertible senior notes due in 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) notice of the Company’s irrevocable election to settle the principal portion of the 2025 Notes in cash and any excess in shares. As a result, subsequent to the election, only the amounts in excess of the principal amount are considered in diluted earnings per share. The amount of the 2025 Notes settled in shares of common stock will have a dilutive impact on diluted earnings per share when the average market price of the Company’s common stock for a given period exceeds the conversion price, which was initially $11.89 per share of common stock.

In connection with the offering of the 2025 Notes, the Company entered into warrant transactions (the “Warrant Transactions”), which have a dilutive effect on the Company’s common stock to the extent the price of its common stock exceeds the strike price of the Warrant Transactions, which was initially $16.64.

In connection with dividends paid during the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2022, the conversion price of the 2025 Notes decreased to $11.82 per share of common stock and the strike price of the related warrants decreased to $16.55 per share of common stock.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated:

$4,806 $4,700 

In February 2022, the Company granted 0.5 million performance-based share units (“PSUs”) subject to final payout modification by a Relative Total Shareholder Return (“Relative TSR”) modifier. This Relative TSR modifier can adjust the final payout outcome by 75%, 100% or 125% of the achieved performance metric, with the overall payout capped at 200% of the annual target grant. These PSUs have a three-year cliff vesting period and their fair value was estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation model.

Assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model and the grant date fair value of PSUs granted were as follows for the periods indicated:

(1)Risk-free interest rate is the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect as of the grant date for the performance period of the unit.
(2)Dividend yield is the level of dividends expected to be paid on the Company’s common stock over the expected term.
(3)Based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over the last seven years.
