    1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
    References to “Brinker,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in this Form 10-Q refer to Brinker International, Inc. and its subsidiaries and any predecessor companies of Brinker International, Inc. Our Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) as of December 25, 2024 and June 26, 2024, and for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended December 25, 2024 and December 27, 2023, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
    We own, develop, operate and franchise the Chili’s® Grill & Bar (“Chili’s”) and Maggiano’s Little Italy® (“Maggiano’s”) restaurant brands. As of December 25, 2024, we owned, operated or franchised 1,624 restaurants, consisting of 1,164 Company-owned restaurants and 460 franchised restaurants, located in the United States, 27 other countries and two United States territories.
    Use of Estimates
    The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) is in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), and the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses in the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
    The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary to fairly state the interim operating results, financial position and cash flows for the respective periods. However, these operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our June 26, 2024 Form 10-K. We believe the disclosures are sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes. All amounts in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) are presented in millions unless otherwise specified.
    Foreign Currency Translation
    The Foreign currency translation adjustment represents the unrealized impact of translating the financial statements of our Canadian restaurants from their respective functional currency (Canadian dollars) to United States dollars and are reported as a component of Comprehensive income and recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on our Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited).
    Recently Issued Accounting Standards or Disclosure Rules
    In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, which require us to adopt the provisions in our fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Management does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our disclosures.
    In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about a company’s effective tax rate reconciliation and requires disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, which require us to adopt the provisions in our fiscal 2026 Form 10-K. The amendments should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. Management does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our disclosures.

    Footnote Index
    In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. This rule will require registrants to disclose certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. In April 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the final rule as a result of pending legal challenges. The disclosure requirements will apply to our fiscal year beginning June 26, 2025 (fiscal 2026 Form 10-K), pending resolution of the stay. Management is currently evaluating the final rule to determine its impact on our disclosures.
    In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires, for each relevant expense caption on the income statement, detailed disclosure amounts for purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. In addition, this ASU requires companies to include amounts already required by GAAP in the same disclosure, provide a qualitative description of remaining amounts not separately disaggregated, and disclose the amount of total selling expenses along with the companies’ definition of selling expenses. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, which would require us to adopt the provisions in our fiscal 2028 Form 10-K. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.
    2. REVENUE RECOGNITION
    Deferred Franchise and Development Fees
    Our deferred franchise and development fees consist of the unrecognized fees received from franchisees. Recognition of these fees in subsequent periods is based on satisfaction of the contractual performance obligations of the active contracts with franchisees. We also expect to earn subsequent period royalties and advertising fees related to our franchise contracts; however, due to the variability and uncertainty of these future revenues based upon a sales-based measure, these future revenues are not yet estimable as the performance obligations remain unsatisfied. Deferred franchise and development fees are classified within Other accrued liabilities for the current portion expected to be recognized within the next 12 months, and Other liabilities for the long-term portion in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited).
    The following table reflects the changes in deferred franchise and development fees between June 26, 2024 and December 25, 2024:
    Deferred Franchise and Development Fees
    Balance as of June 26, 2024$9.7

    3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
    Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under market conditions. Fair value measurements are categorized in three levels based on the types of significant inputs used, as follows:
    Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
    Level 2Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
    Level 3Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data
    Financial Instruments
    Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts because of the short maturity of these items.
    The carrying amount of debt outstanding related to our revolving credit facility approximates fair value as the interest rate on this instrument approximates current market rates (Level 2). The fair values of our notes are based on quoted market prices and are considered Level 2 fair value measurements.

    The carrying amounts of the notes, which are net of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts, and fair values are as follows:

    (1)On October 1, 2024, the 5.000% notes matured and were repaid in full using borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
    Non-Financial Assets
    The fair values of transferable liquor licenses are based on prices in the open market for licenses in the same or similar jurisdictions and are categorized as Level 2. The fair values of other non-financial assets are determined based on appraisals, sales prices of comparable assets or estimates of discounted cash flow and are categorized as Level 3.
    We review the carrying amounts of non-financial assets, primarily long-lived property and equipment, finance lease assets, operating lease assets, reacquired franchise rights, goodwill and transferable liquor licenses annually or when events or circumstances indicate that the fair value may not substantially exceed the carrying amount. We record an impairment charge for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value. Any impairment charges are included in Other (gains) and charges in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Unaudited). During the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended December 25, 2024 and December 27, 2023, no indicators of impairment were identified.
    Intangibles, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited) includes both indefinite-lived intangible assets such as transferable liquor licenses and definite-lived intangible assets such as reacquired franchise rights. Accumulated amortization associated with definite-lived intangible assets at December 25, 2024 and June 26, 2024, was $17.7 million and $16.6 million, respectively.

In addition to our restaurant facilities, we also lease our corporate headquarters location and certain equipment.

    Revolving Credit Facility
    In the twenty-six week period ended December 25, 2024, net borrowings of $215.0 million were drawn on our revolving credit facility. As of December 25, 2024, $685.0 million of credit was available under the revolving credit facility.

    12

    Table of Contents
    Footnote Index
    The $900.0 million revolving credit facility matures on August 18, 2026 and bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.60% to 2.35% and an undrawn commitment fee of 0.25% to 0.35%, both based on a function of our debt-to-cash-flow ratio. As of December 25, 2024, our interest rate was 5.94% consisting of SOFR of 4.34% plus the applicable margin and spread adjustment of 1.60%.
    Financial Covenants
    The indenture for our 8.250% notes contains certain covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations and restrictions on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the indentures) to (i) create liens on Principal Property (as defined in the indenture) and (ii) merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into any other person or sell, transfer, assign, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their property. These covenants are subject to a number of important conditions, qualifications, exceptions, and limitations.
    Our debt agreements contain various financial covenants that, among other things, require the maintenance of certain leverage ratios. As of December 25, 2024, we were in compliance with our covenants pursuant to the $900.0 million revolving credit facility and under the terms of the indentures governing our 8.250% notes.
    7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
    Lease Commitments and Guarantees
    We have, in certain cases, divested brands or sold restaurants to franchisees and have not been released from lease guarantees for the related restaurants. As of December 25, 2024 and June 26, 2024, we have outstanding lease guarantees or are secondarily liable for an estimated $14.2 million and $15.7 million, respectively. These amounts represent the maximum known potential liability of rent payments under the leases, but outstanding rent payments can exist outside of our knowledge as a result of the landlord and tenant relationship being between two third parties. These leases have been assigned to the buyers and expire at the end of the respective lease terms, which range from fiscal 2025 through fiscal 2035. In the event of default under a lease by an owner of a divested brand, the indemnity and default clauses in our agreements with such third parties and applicable laws govern our ability to pursue and recover amounts we may pay on behalf of such parties. We have received notices of default and have been named a party in lawsuits pertaining to some of these leases in circumstances where the current lessee did not pay its rent obligations and management is closely monitoring any exposure.
    Letters of Credit
    We provide letters of credit to various insurers to collateralize obligations for outstanding claims. As of December 25, 2024, we had $5.8 million in undrawn standby letters of credit outstanding. All standby letters of credit are renewable within the next 10 months.
    Cyber Security Litigation
    In fiscal 2018, we discovered malware at certain Chili’s restaurants that may have resulted in unauthorized access or acquisition of customer payment card data. We settled all claims from payment card companies related to this incident and do not expect material claims from payment card companies in the future. In connection with this event, the Company was also named as a defendant in a putative class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (the “Litigation”) relating to this incident. In the Litigation, plaintiffs assert various claims at the Company’s Chili’s restaurants involving customer payment card information and seek monetary damages in excess of $5.0 million, injunctive and declaratory relief, and attorney’s fees and costs.
    On April 29, 2024, the US Supreme Court denied our petition for certiorari concerning review of the Eleventh Circuit’s decision to uphold plaintiff’s damages calculation. Accordingly, the parties continue to await the trial court’s ruling on the issue of predominance as it relates to class certification in light of the Eleventh Circuit’s ruling on this issue. We believe we have defenses and intend to continue defending the Litigation. As such, as of December 25, 2024, we have concluded that a loss, or range of loss, from this matter is not determinable, therefore, we have not recorded a liability related to the Litigation. We will continue to evaluate this matter based on new information as it becomes available.

    Legal Proceedings
    Evaluating contingencies related to litigation is a process involving judgment on the potential outcome of future events, and the ultimate resolution of litigated claims may differ from our current analysis. Accordingly, we review the adequacy of accruals and disclosures pertaining to litigated matters each quarter in consultation with legal counsel and we assess the probability and range of possible losses associated with contingencies for potential accrual in the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).
    We are engaged in various legal proceedings and have certain unresolved claims pending. Liabilities have been established based on our best estimates of our potential liability in certain of these matters. Based upon consultation with legal counsel, management is of the opinion that there are no matters pending or threatened which are expected to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

    Effective income tax rate14.7 %7.0 %
    The federal statutory tax rate was 21.0% for the twenty-six week periods ended December 25, 2024 and December 27, 2023.
    The change in the effective income tax rate in the twenty-six week period ended December 25, 2024 to the twenty-six week period ended December 27, 2023 is primarily due to higher Income before income taxes and the resulting deleverage of the FICA tip tax credit.
    9. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
    Share Repurchases
    Our Board of Directors approved a $300.0 million share repurchase program during fiscal 2022. Our share repurchase program is used to return capital to shareholders and to minimize the dilution to our shares outstanding that results from equity compensation grants. We evaluate potential share repurchases under our plan based on several factors, including our cash position, share price, operational liquidity, proceeds from divestitures, borrowings and planned investment and financing needs. Repurchased shares are reflected as an increase in Treasury stock within Shareholder’s equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited).
    In the twenty-six week period ended December 25, 2024, we repurchased 1.2 million shares of our common stock for $85.2 million, including 1.0 million shares purchased for $76.0 million as part of our share repurchase program and 0.2 million shares purchased from team members to satisfy tax withholding obligations on the vesting of restricted shares. These withheld shares of common stock are not considered common stock repurchases under our authorized common stock repurchase plan. As of December 25, 2024, approximately $107.0 million of share repurchase authorization remains under the current share repurchase program.
    Stock-based Compensation
    In November 2024, our stockholders approved the Brinker International, Inc. 2024 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”) for employees and authorized approximately 3.5 million shares for issuance under the 2024 Plan. The 2024 Plan replaced our stockholder-approved 1998 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (as amended, the “1998 Plan”) for employees, and no further awards will be granted under the 1998 Plan. Our 1999 Stock Option and Incentive Plan for Non-Employee Directors and Consultants (the “1999 Plan”) remains in effect.
    In November 2024, the Board of Directors approved the 2025 Executive Performance Share Retention Plan and the granting of performance-based restricted share awards to Kevin Hochman, our CEO and President of the Company and President of Chili’s Grill & Bar, and certain other executives of the Company at a total grant date fair value of

    $25.0 million. Shares earned range from 0% to 200% of the target number of performance shares granted based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) over a five-year period from September 26, 2024 through September 25, 2029, relative to the TSR of a peer group of companies as defined. There is a cap on the dollar value of performance shares that may be earned based on a multiple of the target number of performance shares and the Company’s stock price on the grant date. Additionally, vesting is generally contingent upon continuous service during the performance period. Compensation expense for these performance shares is recorded to General and administrative expenses on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the fair value of the shares as determined by Monte Carlo simulation on the date of grant.
    The following table presents restricted share awards granted under the Company’s various equity compensation plans and the related weighted average fair value per share amounts.

    10. NET INCOME PER SHARE
    Basic net income per share is computed by dividing Net income by the Basic weighted average shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the calculation of Diluted net income per share, the Basic weighted average shares outstanding is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted share awards. Stock options and restricted share awards with an anti-dilutive effect are not included in the Diluted net income per share calculation. Basic weighted average shares outstanding are reconciled to Diluted weighted average shares outstanding as follows:

    Overview
    We own, develop, operate and franchise the Chili’s® Grill & Bar (“Chili’s”) and Maggiano’s Little Italy® (“Maggiano’s”) restaurant brands. As of December 25, 2024, we owned, operated or franchised 1,624 restaurants, consisting of 1,164 Company-owned restaurants and 460 franchised restaurants, located in the United States, 27 other countries and two United States territories. Our restaurant brands, Chili’s and Maggiano’s, are both operating segments and reporting units.
    Operating Environment
    During recent years, our operating results were impacted by geopolitical and other macroeconomic events, leading to higher than usual inflation on wages and food and beverage costs. Geopolitical and other macroeconomic events have led, and in the future may lead to, wage inflation, staffing challenges, product cost inflation and/or disruptions in the supply chain that impact our restaurants’ ability to obtain the products needed to support their operation. Such events could also negatively affect consumer spending potentially reducing guest traffic and/or reducing the average amount guests spend in our restaurants.
    Operations Strategy
    We are committed to strategies and a Company culture that we believe will grow sales, increase profits, bring back guests and engage team members. Our strategies and culture are intended to strengthen our position in casual dining and grow our core business over time. Our primary brand strategy is to make our guests feel special through great food and quality service so that they return to our restaurants.
    Chili’s - Our strategy is to make everyone feel special through a fun atmosphere, delicious food and drinks and our Chili’s hospitality. We are making work at Chili’s easier, more fun and more rewarding for our team members so that they are more engaged and provide a better experience for our guests. One way we have done this is by eliminating tasks that were unnecessary and did not add value to our guests. We have also simplified our menu to focus on core equities we believe can help grow sales—burgers, fajitas, Chicken Crispers®, and margaritas, as well as other classic favorites. Our team members can make our core menu items better and more consistently because we have fewer menu items that need to be perfected.
    We have a flexible platform of value offerings at both lunch and dinner that we believe is compelling to our guests. Our “3 for Me” platform allows guests to enjoy a non-alcoholic drink, an appetizer and certain entrées starting at just $10.99. We believe our value offerings will continue to be an important traffic driver in the current economic circumstances and we will continue to highlight this value in our marketing efforts. We have increased menu pricing in other areas in light of the inflationary challenges and we have also improved menu offerings and merchandising to incentivize our guests to purchase higher priced items.
    In addition, Chili’s has focused on a seamless digital experience as our guests’ preferences and expectations around dining convenience have evolved in recent years. Investments in our technology and off-premise options have enabled us to provide a faster, more convenient dine-in experience and to offer more To-Go and delivery options for our guests. Our To-Go menu is available through the Chili’s mobile app, chilis.com, our delivery partners DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub, Google Food Ordering or by calling the restaurant directly. Our It’s Just Wings® offering is available through the website, itsjustwings.com. The operating results for this virtual brand are included in the results of our Chili’s brand, based on the restaurants that prepared and processed the food orders.
    In dining rooms, we use tabletop devices with functionality for guests to pay at the table, provide guest feedback and interact with our My Chili’s Rewards® program. Our My Chili’s Rewards loyalty program offers free chips and salsa or a non-alcoholic beverage to members based on their visit frequency and allows us to communicate and advertise to our guests through email and text. Our servers use handheld tablets to place orders for our guests, increasing the efficiency of our team members and allowing orders to reach our kitchen quicker for better service to our guests.
    Maggiano’s - At Maggiano’s, we are focused on making our guests feel special. This warm and generous hospitality creates an environment where guests come together to celebrate birthdays, weddings and many more special

    occasions. While our dining rooms support the majority of our business, we also offer carry-out and delivery options through partnerships with delivery service providers that have made our restaurants more accessible to guests. Our restaurants also have banquet rooms to host large party events and we have a begun to renovate these banquet rooms in certain restaurants to provide a better experience for this profitable revenue channel, particularly during the holiday season in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year.
    Franchise Partnerships - During the twenty-six week period ended December 25, 2024, there were 21 new franchise restaurant openings and two new development agreements. We plan to strategically pursue expansion of Chili’s internationally through development agreements with new and existing franchise partners.
    Company Development - The following table details the number of restaurant openings during the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended December 25, 2024 and December 27, 2023, respectively, total full year projected openings in fiscal 2025 and the total restaurants open at each period end:

    Net cash used in financing activities increased primarily due to increases in net repayments of long-term debt and share repurchase activity in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024.
    Debt
    We refinanced our $350.0 million 5.000% notes, which matured in October 2024, through our existing revolving credit facility. During the twenty-six week period ended December 25, 2024, net borrowings of $215.0 million were drawn on the revolving credit facility. As of December 25, 2024, $685.0 million of credit was available under the revolving credit facility.
    Our $900.0 million revolving credit facility, as amended, matures on August 18, 2026 and bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.60% to 2.35% and an undrawn commitment fee of 0.25% to 0.35%, both based on a function of our debt-to-cash-flow ratio. As of December 25, 2024, our interest rate was 5.94% consisting of SOFR of 4.34% plus the applicable margin and spread adjustment of 1.60%.
    As of December 25, 2024, we were in compliance with our covenants pursuant to the $900.0 million revolving credit facility and under the terms of the indentures governing our 8.250% notes. We expect to remain in compliance with our covenants during the remainder of fiscal 2025.
    Share Repurchase Program
    Our Board of Directors approved a $300.0 million share repurchase program during fiscal 2022. Our share repurchase program is used to return capital to shareholders and to minimize the dilution to our shares outstanding that results from equity compensation grants. We evaluate potential share repurchases under our plan based on several factors, including our cash position, share price, operational liquidity, proceeds from divestitures,

    33

    Table of Contents
    borrowings and planned investment and financing needs. Repurchased shares are reflected as an increase in Treasury stock within Shareholder’s equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited).
    In the twenty-six week period ended December 25, 2024, we repurchased 1.2 million shares of our common stock for $85.2 million, including 1.0 million shares purchased for $76.0 million as part of our share repurchase program and 0.2 million shares purchased from team members to satisfy tax withholding obligations on the vesting of restricted shares. These withheld shares of common stock are not considered common stock repurchases under our authorized common stock repurchase plan. As of December 25, 2024, approximately $107.0 million of share repurchase authorization remains under the current share repurchase program.
    Cash Flow Outlook
    Based on the current level of operations, we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, coupled with cash generated from operations and availability under our existing revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet our capital expenditure and working capital needs for at least the next twelve months.
    Critical Accounting Estimates
    The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our critical accounting estimates have not changed materially from those previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2024.
    Recent Accounting Pronouncements
    The impact of recent accounting pronouncements can be found at Note 1 - Basis of Presentation in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q report.
    ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
    Interest Rate Risk
    The terms of our revolving credit facility require us to pay interest on outstanding borrowings at SOFR plus an applicable margin based on a function of our debt-to-cash flow ratio. As of December 25, 2024, $215.0 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility. We estimate that a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the current interest rate on the outstanding balance of this variable rate financial instrument as of December 25, 2024 would result in an additional $2.2 million of annual interest expense.
    Commodity Price Risk
    We purchase food and other commodities for use in our operations based on market prices established with our suppliers. While our purchasing commitments partially mitigate the risk of such fluctuations, there is no assurance that supply and demand factors such as inclement weather or recent geopolitical unrest, will not cause the prices of the commodities used in our restaurant operations to fluctuate. Additionally, if there is a time lag between increasing commodity prices and our ability to increase menu prices or if we believe a commodity price increase to be short in duration and we choose not to pass on the cost increases, our short-term financial results could be negatively affected.
    ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
    EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
    Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

    Table of Contents
    INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
    During the thirteen week period ended December 25, 2024, we implemented a new ERP system, which replaced a legacy system where a significant portion of our transactions were originated, processed and, or recorded. We updated our internal control over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate related changes in our financial management processes. While we believe that this new system will enhance our internal control over financial reporting, there are inherent risks in implementing a new ERP system. Accordingly, we will continue to evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of these controls.
    Except for this system implementation, there have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the thirteen week period ended December 25, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

All forward-looking statements are made only based on our current plans and expectations as of the date such statements are made, and except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date such statements are made. Forward-looking statements are neither predictions nor guarantees of future events or performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical results or from those projected in forward-looking statements.
