1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2012 included in our annual report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Operating results for the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended June 16, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2013.

5. Dividends

During the two fiscal quarters of 2013, the Company paid approximately $11.5 million of common stock dividends. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a $0.20 per share dividend on its outstanding common stock. In connection with the declaration of the dividend, the Company recorded $11.1 million of dividends payable.

On July 17, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a $0.20 per share quarterly dividend on its outstanding common stock for shareholders of record as of September 13, 2013 to be paid on September 30, 2013.

 

6. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

In 2013, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to present either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes to the financial statements, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by the respective line items of net income.

The approximately $2.4 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss at both June 16, 2013 and December 30, 2012 represents currency translation adjustments, net of tax. During the two fiscal quarters of 2012, we reclassified $0.8 million of losses related to a derivative instrument from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense within the consolidated statements of income. The related income tax effect of $0.3 million was classified to income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. There were no reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income in the second quarter of 2012, the second quarter of 2013 and the two fiscal quarters of 2013.

 

7. Open Market Share Repurchase Program

During the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2013, the Company repurchased and retired 655,248 and 1,018,147 shares of common stock for a total of approximately $38.0 million and $56.1 million, respectively. As of June 16, 2013, the Company had approximately $96.3 million remaining for future share repurchases under its Board of Directors approved $200.0 million open market share repurchase program. Subsequent to the second quarter of 2013, the Company repurchased and retired an additional 189,185 shares of common stock for a total of approximately $10.9 million.

During the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2012, the Company repurchased and retired 1,146,497 shares of common stock for a total of approximately $36.9 million under the Company’s open market share repurchase program.

 

8. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements enable the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The Company classifies and discloses assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

At June 16, 2013, the Company estimates that the $1.55 billion in principal amount of outstanding fixed rate notes had a fair value of approximately $1.70 billion, and at December 30, 2012 the $1.56 billion in principal amount of outstanding fixed rate notes had a fair value of approximately $1.73 billion. The fixed rate notes are classified as a Level 2 measurement, as the Company estimated the fair value amount by using available market information. The Company obtained broker quotes from two separate brokerage firms that are knowledgeable about the Company’s fixed rate notes and, at times, trade these notes. Further, the Company performs its own internal analysis based on the information it gathers from public markets, including information on notes that are similar to that of the Company. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the fair value estimates presented here are not necessarily indicative of the amount that the Company or the debtholders could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.

Overview

We are the number one pizza delivery company in the United States based on reported consumer spending, and the second largest pizza company in the world based on number of units. We operate through a substantially franchised network of stores, located in all 50 states and in more than 70 international markets, as well as Company-owned stores, all of which are in the United States. In addition, we operate regional dough manufacturing and supply chain centers in the United States and Canada.

Our financial results are driven largely by retail sales at our franchise and Company-owned stores. Changes in retail sales are driven by changes in same store sales and store counts. We monitor both of these metrics very closely, as they directly impact our revenues and profits, and strive to consistently increase both metrics. Retail sales drive royalty payments from franchisees as well as Company-owned store and supply chain revenues. Retail sales are primarily impacted by the strength of the Domino’s Pizza® brand, the results of our marketing, our ability to execute our store operating model, the overall global economic environment and the success of our business strategies.

During the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2013, we experienced robust domestic same store sales increases driven by our continued consumer offerings of higher quality food at value pricing and effective marketing to support our promotions. We believe that our innovative digital platforms and technology continue to drive orders and sales and provide us with a competitive advantage versus regional chains and individual establishments. Internationally, we continued to have strong same store sales in both the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2013. International store growth continued to be strong during the second quarter, as we opened a net 101 stores, bringing the year-to-date total to a net 181 stores opened. We believe that our strong global brand, quality and affordable food offerings, combined with our operations and innovative technology all contributed to our results during the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2013. We intend to further grow our business by continuing to focus on operational excellence, effective marketing, industry-leading technology platforms and delivering high quality food and service to our customers.

Global retail sales, which are total retail sales at franchise and Company-owned stores worldwide, increased 9.3% in the second quarter of 2013, and 9.4% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. These increases were driven primarily by domestic and international same store sales growth, as well as an increase in our worldwide store counts during the trailing four quarters. This was offset, in part, by the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Domestic same store sales growth reflected the sustained positive sales trends and the continued success of our products and marketing. International same store sales growth reflected continued strong performance in the markets where we compete.

Revenues increased $37.9 million, up 10.1% in the second quarter of 2013, and $70.9 million, up 9.3% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. These increases were due primarily to higher domestic supply chain revenues attributable to higher volumes from increased order counts combined with higher cheese and other commodity prices, higher domestic franchise and Company-owned store revenues, and higher international revenues attributable to same store sales and store count growth. These increases were offset in part by the negative impact on international revenues of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These changes in revenues are described in more detail below.

Income from operations increased $8.0 million, up 12.3% in the second quarter of 2013, and $16.7 million, up 12.6% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. These increases were driven primarily by higher royalty revenues from both domestic and international franchise stores and slightly higher supply chain margins driven primarily by higher volumes. Additionally, higher domestic Company-owned store margins positively impacted the two fiscal quarters of 2013. These increases were offset, in part, by the negative impact of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates and higher general and administrative expenses.

Net income increased $5.2 million, up 18.4% in the second quarter of 2013, and $18.9 million, up 38.6% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. These increases were driven in part by domestic and international same store sales growth, international store count growth and higher supply chain margins and were offset in part by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and higher general and administrative expenses. Additionally, during the two fiscal quarters of 2012, the Company incurred approximately $6.5 million of net after-tax expenses in connection with the 2012 recapitalization and recorded a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset of approximately $0.9 million.

Revenues primarily consist of retail sales from our Company-owned stores, royalties from our domestic and international franchise stores and sales of food, equipment and supplies from our supply chain centers to substantially all of our domestic franchise stores and certain international franchise stores. Company-owned store and franchise store revenues may vary significantly from period to period due to changes in store count mix, while supply chain revenues may vary significantly as a result of fluctuations in commodity prices, primarily cheese and meats.

Domestic stores revenues increased $8.5 million, up 7.2% in the second quarter of 2013, and $18.1 million, up 7.5% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. These increases were due primarily to higher domestic Company-owned same store sales and royalty revenues earned on higher franchise same store sales. These changes in domestic stores revenues are more fully described below.

Table of Contents

Domestic Company-Owned Stores Revenues

Revenues from domestic Company-owned store operations increased $4.6 million, up 6.2% in the second quarter of 2013, and $8.1 million, up 5.3% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. These increases were due primarily to higher same store sales during the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2013. Domestic Company-owned same store sales increased 5.7% in the second quarter of 2013, and 5.3% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. This compared to an increase of 0.3% in the second quarter of 2012, and 1.0% in the two fiscal quarters of 2012.

Domestic Franchise Revenues

Revenues from domestic franchise operations increased $3.9 million, up 8.8% in the second quarter of 2013, and $10.0 million, up 11.2% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. These increases were due primarily to higher domestic franchise same store sales and to a lesser extent, an increase in the average number of domestic franchise stores open during 2013 and an increase in revenues resulting from fees paid by franchisees related to our insourced online ordering platform. We also incurred an increase in general and administrative expenses for our technology initiatives. Additionally, during the two fiscal quarters of 2013, we contracted with a third party to manage our gift card program. In connection with this program change, we refined our assessment of our gift card liability and recorded approximately $2.6 million of domestic franchise revenue and reimbursed approximately $1.8 million to our national advertising fund, as discussed further below in general and administrative expenses. Domestic franchise same store sales increased 6.8% in the second quarter of 2013, and 6.6% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. This compared to an increase of 1.9% in the second quarter of 2012, and 2.0% in the two fiscal quarters of 2012.

Domestic Supply Chain Revenues

Revenues from domestic supply chain operations increased $24.0 million, up 11.5% in the second quarter of 2013, and $41.4 million, up 9.8% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. These increases were due primarily to higher volumes as a result of increased order counts at the store level, higher overall commodity prices, including cheese, and a change in the mix of products sold. The published cheese block price-per-pound averaged $1.77 in the second quarter of 2013 and $1.72 in the two fiscal quarters of 2013, up from $1.52 in both of the comparable periods in 2012. We estimate that the higher cheese block price resulted in an approximate $4.4 million increase in domestic supply chain revenues during the second quarter of 2013, and a $7.5 million increase in revenues in the two fiscal quarters of 2013.

International revenues primarily consist of royalties from our international franchise stores and international supply chain sales. Revenues from international operations increased $5.4 million, up 11.1% in the second quarter of 2013, and $11.4 million, up 11.9% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. These increases were due primarily to higher international royalty and other revenues as well as higher international supply chain revenues as discussed below.

Revenues from international royalties and other increased $3.3 million, up 11.9% in the second quarter of 2013, and $7.1 million, up 13.3% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. These increases were due primarily to higher same store sales and more international stores being open during 2013, offset in part by the negative impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2013 and approximately $1.1 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. On a constant dollar basis (which excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates), same store sales increased 5.8% in the second quarter of 2013, and 6.2% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. This compared to an increase of 5.7% in the second quarter of 2012, and 5.2% in the two fiscal quarters of 2012. On a historical dollar basis (which includes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates), same store sales increased 3.9% in the second quarter of 2013, and increased 4.2% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. The variance in our same store sales on a constant dollar basis versus a historical dollar basis in 2013 was caused by the stronger dollar when compared to the currencies in the international markets in which we compete.

Cost of sales consists primarily of domestic Company-owned store and domestic supply chain costs incurred to generate related revenues. Components of cost of sales primarily include food, labor and occupancy costs.

The operating margin, which we define as revenues less cost of sales, increased $11.4 million, up 9.9% in the second quarter of 2013, and $26.5 million, up 11.6% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. These increases in the operating margin were due primarily to higher domestic and international franchise revenues and higher supply chain margins. Franchise revenues do not have a cost of sales component and, as such, changes in franchise revenues have a disproportionate effect on the operating margin.

As a percentage of revenues, the operating margin decreased 0.1 percentage points in the second quarter of 2013, and increased 0.7 percentage points in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. The decrease in the second quarter of 2013 was due primarily to higher overall commodity prices, including cheese, and lower Company-owned stores operating margins. The decrease was offset in part by higher supply chain margins and a change in our mix of revenues. The increase in the two fiscal quarters of 2013 was due primarily to a change in our mix of revenues and higher supply chain margins, offset in part by higher overall commodity prices, including cheese.

As indicated above, the operating margin as a percentage of revenues was negatively impacted by higher cheese costs. Cheese price changes are a “pass-through” in domestic supply chain revenues and cost of sales and, as such, have no impact on the related operating margin as measured in dollars. However, cheese price changes do impact operating margin when measured as a percentage of revenues. For example, if the 2013 average cheese prices had been in effect during 2012, the impact on supply chain margins would have caused the operating margin for the second quarter of 2012 to be approximately 30.1% of revenues versus the reported 30.5% and approximately 29.8% of revenues for the two fiscal quarters of 2012 versus the reported 30.1%. However, the dollar margins for those same periods would have been unaffected.

The domestic Company-owned store operating margin, which does not include certain store-level costs such as royalties and advertising, increased $0.8 million, up 4.0% in the second quarter of 2013, and $2.2 million, up 6.1% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. These increases were due primarily to higher same store sales, offset in part by higher food costs.

As a percentage of store revenues, the store operating margin decreased 0.5 percentage points in the second quarter of 2013, and increased 0.2 percentage points in the two fiscal quarters of 2013.

Food costs increased 1.4 percentage points to 27.8% in the second quarter of 2013, and 1.2 percentage points in the two fiscal quarters of 2013 due primarily to higher cheese and other commodity prices. The cheese block price per pound averaged $1.77 in the second quarter of 2013 and $1.72 in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. This compared to $1.52 in both the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2012.

Labor and related costs decreased 0.1 percentage points to 28.2% in the second quarter of 2013, and 0.3 percentage points to 28.2% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013 due primarily to leveraging the higher sales per store.

Occupancy costs (which include rent, telephone, utilities and depreciation) decreased 0.5 percentage points to 8.8% in both the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2013, due primarily to the positive impact of higher sales per store.

Insurance costs decreased 0.7 percentage points to 2.8% in the second quarter of 2013, and 0.5 percentage points to 2.9% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013 due primarily to lower health insurance expenses per store and favorable claims experience.

The domestic supply chain operating margin increased $3.3 million, up 14.6% in the second quarter of 2013, and $6.8 million, up 15.1% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. These increases were due primarily to higher volumes resulting from higher order counts at the store level and a change in the mix of the products sold.

As a percentage of supply chain revenues, the supply chain operating margin increased 0.3 percentage points in the second quarter of 2013, and 0.5 percentage points in the two fiscal quarters of 2013 as compared to the prior year periods. These increases were due primarily to the positive impact of product mix and higher volumes, offset in part by higher commodity costs. Increases in certain food prices have a negative effect on the domestic supply chain operating margin percent due to the fixed dollar margin earned by domestic supply chain on certain food items. Had the 2013 cheese prices been in effect during 2012, the domestic supply chain operating margin as a percentage of domestic supply chain revenues would have been approximately 10.6% for the second quarter of 2012 and approximately 10.5% for the two fiscal quarters of 2012. However, the dollar margins for those same periods would have been unaffected.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $3.3 million, up 6.8% in the second quarter of 2013, and $9.8 million, up 10.2% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. These increases were due primarily to higher variable performance-based compensation expenses of approximately $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $2.0 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2013 and an increase in non-cash compensation expense of $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $2.0 in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. General and administrative expenses also include a reimbursement of approximately $1.8 million during the two fiscal quarters of 2013 to our national advertising fund related to their historical costs to support the Company’s gift card program, as discussed above in domestic franchise revenues. Additionally, we continued our investments in technology and international initiatives, which also increased general and administrative expenses during the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2013 compared to the prior year periods.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $0.3 million to $20.4 million in the second quarter of 2013, and $11.6 million to $41.4 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2013. The decrease in the two fiscal quarters of 2013 was due primarily to approximately $10.2 million of additional interest expense incurred in the first quarter of 2012 related to the 2012 recapitalization.

Table of Contents

The Company’s cash borrowing rate was flat at 5.4% for both the second quarter of 2013 and the second quarter of 2012, and decreased 0.3 percentage points to 5.4% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013 compared to the two fiscal quarters of 2012. This decrease was due primarily to the completion of the 2012 recapitalization during the first quarter of 2012. The Company’s average outstanding debt balance, excluding capital lease obligations, decreased slightly to $1.55 billion in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2013 compared to $1.60 billion in both the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2012. These decreases were due to scheduled principal payments on our fixed rate notes.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes increased $3.2 million to $20.2 million in the second quarter of 2013, and $9.3 million to $40.4 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2013, due primarily to higher pre-tax income. The effective tax rate remained relatively flat at 37.7% during the second quarter of 2013 compared with the same period in 2012. The effective tax rate decreased 1.5 percentage points to 37.4% during the two fiscal quarters of 2013, from 38.9% in the comparable period in 2012. The 38.9% effective rate in the two fiscal quarters of 2012 was negatively impacted by a valuation allowance recorded on a deferred tax asset of approximately $0.9 million.

Summary of Recapitalization Expenses

The following table presents total recapitalization-related expenses incurred during the two fiscal quarters of 2012. These pre-tax expenses affect comparability between the periods presented for 2013 and 2012.

(1) Primarily includes stock compensation expenses, payroll taxes related to the payments made to certain stock option holders, legal and professional fees incurred in connection with the recapitalization.
(2) Primarily includes the write-off of deferred financing fees. Additionally, we incurred $2.1 million of interest expense on the 2007 borrowings subsequent to the closing of the 2012 recapitalization but prior to the repayment of the 2007 borrowings, essentially paying interest on both the 2007 and 2012 facilities for a period of time.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 16, 2013, we had working capital of $14.0 million, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents of $59.7 million, and including unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $40.8 million. Historically, we have operated with minimal positive working capital, or negative working capital, primarily because our receivable collection periods and inventory turn rates are faster than the normal payment terms on our current liabilities. We generally collect our receivables within three weeks from the date of the related sale, and we generally experience 30 to 40 inventory turns per year. In addition, our sales are not typically seasonal, which further limits our working capital requirements. These factors, coupled with servicing our debt obligations, investing in our business and repurchasing our common stock, all of which are generally funded by cash flows from operations, also reduce our working capital amounts. As of June 16, 2013, we had approximately $38.4 million of restricted cash held for future principal and interest payments, $21.2 million of restricted cash held in a three month interest reserve as required by the related debt agreements and $0.1 million of other restricted cash, for a total of $59.7 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents.

As of June 16, 2013, we had approximately $1.55 billion of long-term debt, of which $24.2 million was classified as a current liability. Additionally, as of June 16, 2013, we had $37.7 million of outstanding letters of credit and $62.3 million of available capacity under our $100.0 million variable funding notes. The letters of credit are primarily related to our casualty insurance programs and supply chain center leases. Borrowings under the variable funding notes are available to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. Our primary source of liquidity is cash flows from operations and availability of borrowings under our variable funding notes.

Table of Contents

During the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2013, the Company repurchased and retired 655,248 and 1,018,147 shares of common stock for a total of approximately $38.0 million and $56.1 million, respectively. As of June 16, 2013, we had approximately $96.3 million remaining for future share repurchases under the current Board of Directors approved $200.0 million open market share repurchase program. Subsequent to the second quarter of 2013, the Company repurchased and retired an additional 189,185 shares of common stock for a total of approximately $10.9 million. We continue to maintain our flexibility to use ongoing excess cash flow generation and (subject to certain restrictions in the documents governing the variable funding notes) availability under the variable funding notes for, among other things, the repurchase of shares under the current authorized program, the payment of dividends and other corporate uses.

During the two fiscal quarters of 2013, the Company paid approximately $11.5 million of common stock dividends. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a $0.20 per share dividend on its outstanding common stock. In connection with the declaration of the dividend, the Company recorded $11.1 million of dividends payable. On July 17, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a $0.20 per share quarterly dividend for shareholders of record as of September 13, 2013 to be paid on September 30, 2013.

During the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2013, we experienced strong increases in both domestic and international same store sales versus the comparable periods in the prior year. Additionally, our international business continued to grow store counts in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2013. Domestic supply chain and Company-owned stores produced higher margins versus the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2012. These factors have contributed to our continued ability to generate positive operating cash flows. We expect to use our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under the variable funding notes to, among other things, fund working capital requirements, invest in our core business, service our indebtedness, pay dividends and repurchase our common stock. We have historically funded our working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt repayments and repurchases of common stock primarily from our cash flows from operations and, when necessary, our available borrowings under variable funding note facilities. The Company believes its current unrestricted cash and cash equivalents balance and its expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months. We did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of June 16, 2013.

Cash provided by operating activities was $66.8 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2013 compared to $58.1 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2012. The $8.7 million increase was due primarily to a $12.4 million increase in net income, excluding non-cash adjustments versus the prior year period, resulting primarily from our improved operating performance. Cash provided by operating activities was negatively impacted by a $3.7 million net change in operating assets and liabilities, due primarily to the timing of payments of current operating liabilities.

Cash used in investing activities was $7.9 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2013 and cash provided by investing activities was $27.3 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2012. The $35.2 million change was due primarily to a $32.7 million change in restricted cash and cash equivalents driven by lower restricted cash reserve requirements as a result of the 2012 recapitalization and a $3.6 million increase in capital expenditures primarily due to investments in technology initiatives.

Cash used in financing activities was $72.8 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2013 compared to $124.2 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2012. The $51.4 million change was due primarily to a $1.4 billion decrease in repayments of long-term debt, a $173.4 million decrease in common stock dividends and equivalent payments and a $31.6 million decrease in cash paid for financing costs offset by a $1.6 billion decrease of proceeds from issuance of the 2012 debt facility. These changes were due primarily to our 2012 recapitalization. Additionally, during the two fiscal quarters of 2013, an additional $19.2 million of cash was used to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock versus the two fiscal quarters of 2012.

Table of Contents

Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated growth, we believe that the cash generated from operations, our current unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and amounts available under our variable funding notes will be adequate to meet our anticipated debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for at least the next twelve months. Our ability to continue to fund these items and continue to reduce debt could be adversely affected by the occurrence of any of the events described under “Risk Factors” in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available under the variable funding notes or otherwise to enable us to service our indebtedness, or to make anticipated capital expenditures. Our future operating performance and our ability to service, extend or refinance the fixed rate notes and to service, extend or refinance the variable funding notes will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from interest rate changes on our variable rate debt, which consists of variable funding note borrowings that are outstanding from time to time. The Company actively monitors this exposure when present. As of June 16, 2013, we had no outstanding variable funding note borrowings and $62.3 million available for borrowing, which is net of letters of credit of $37.7 million. Our outstanding fixed rate notes, which comprise substantially all of our outstanding borrowings, contain fixed interest rates until January 2019. We do not engage in speculative transactions nor do we hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in commodity prices. During the normal course of business, we purchase cheese and certain other food products that are affected by changes in commodity prices and, as a result, we are subject to volatility in our food costs. We may periodically enter into financial instruments to manage this risk. We do not engage in speculative transactions nor do we hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. In instances where we use fixed pricing agreements with our suppliers, we use these agreements to cover our physical commodity needs; the agreements are not net-settled and are accounted for as normal purchases.

The Company is exposed to various foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations for revenues generated by operations outside the United States, which can adversely impact net income and cash flows. Total revenues of approximately 13.0% in the second quarter of 2013, 12.9% in the second quarter of 2012, 12.9% in the two fiscal quarters of 2013 and 12.7% in the two fiscal quarters of 2012 were derived from sales to customers and royalties from franchisees outside the contiguous United States. This business is conducted in the local currency but royalty payments are generally remitted to us in U.S. dollars. We do not enter into financial instruments to manage this foreign currency exchange risk. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the foreign currency rates in each of our top ten international markets, based on store count, would have resulted in a negative impact on revenues of approximately $4.4 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2013.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Management, with the participation of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, J. Patrick Doyle, and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Michael T. Lawton, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, Mr. Doyle and Mr. Lawton concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

During the quarterly period ended June 16, 2013, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
