Brinker International, Inc.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Brinker International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 25, 2025 and June 26, 2024, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 25, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 25, 2025 and June 26, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 25, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 25, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated August 15, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Assessment of gift card breakage revenue
As discussed in Notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated financial statements, gift card breakage revenue represents the monetary value associated with outstanding gift card balances that will not be redeemed. The Company estimates this amount based on the historical gift card redemption patterns and recognizes the estimated breakage as revenue in proportion to the pattern of related gift card redemptions. The gift card breakage revenue recognized for the year ended June 25, 2025 was $10 million.
38
Table of Contents
We identified the assessment of gift card breakage revenue as a critical audit matter. Subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the Company's assessment of the trends in historical and expected future redemption patterns as well as the actuarial models utilized to update the breakage rate.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company's gift card breakage revenue process. This included controls related to the Company's estimation of the breakage rate, review of the actuarial models used, and the timing of breakage revenue recognition. We assessed breakage revenue by comparing the Company's estimated breakage rate to rates derived from historical redemption data. We evaluated the timing of breakage revenue recognition by analyzing historical redemption patterns and assessing the volume of redemptions subsequent to the period of breakage revenue recognition. We also involved actuarial professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in assessing the reasonableness of the actuarial models by comparing them to generally accepted actuarial standards.

Brinker International, Inc.:
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Brinker International, Inc. and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of June 25, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 25, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of June 25, 2025 and June 26, 2024, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 25, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated August 15, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's report. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Table of Contents
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
• Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
• Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
• Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
We have assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 25, 2025.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 25, 2025 has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its attestation report which is included herein.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
The Company is principally engaged in the ownership, operation, development and franchising of the Chili’s ® Grill & Bar (“Chili’s”) and Maggiano’s Little Italy ® (“Maggiano’s”) restaurant brands. As of June 25, 2025, we owned, operated or franchised 1,628 restaurants, consisting of 1,162 Company-owned restaurants and 466 franchised restaurants, located in the United States, 27 other countries and two United States territories.
Basis of Presentation
Principles of Consolidation - The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), and include the accounts of Brinker International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All amounts within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in millions unless otherwise specified.
Fiscal Year - We have a 52 or 53 week fiscal year ending on the last Wednesday in June. We utilize a 13 week accounting period for quarterly reporting purposes, except in years containing 53 weeks when the fourth quarter contains 14 weeks. Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024, and Fiscal 2023 which ended on June 25, 2025, June 26, 2024, and June 28, 2023, respectively, each contained 52 weeks.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements is in conformity with 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, and the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses in the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Our policy is to invest cash in excess of operating requirements in income-producing investments. Income-producing investments with original maturities of three months or less are reflected as cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable, net of the allowance for credit losses, represents the estimated net realizable value. Our primary accounts receivables are due from third-party gift card sales, vendor rebates, restaurant sales made with credit cards and franchisees. Provisions for credit losses are recorded based on management’s judgment regarding our ability to collect as well as the age of the receivables. Accounts receivable are written off when they are deemed uncollectible.
Inventories - Inventories consist of food, beverages and supplies and are valued at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value.
Cloud-Based Computing Arrangements - The Company defers application development stage costs for cloud-based computing arrangements and amortizes those costs over the related service (subscription) agreement. The current and long term portion is included in Prepaid expenses and Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.
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 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 Observable inputs available at measurement date other than quoted prices included in Level 1
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease, including certain renewal options, or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Typical useful lives of our Buildings and leasehold improvements range from 5 to 20 years, and Furniture and equipment range from 3 to 7 years.
Depreciation expenses related to property and equipment for the fiscal years ended June 25, 2025, June 26, 2024, and June 28, 2023, of $ 204.3 million, $ 167.9 million, and $ 165.3 million, respectively, were recorded in Depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Routine repair and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. Major replacements and improvements are capitalized.
We review the carrying amount of property and equipment on an annual basis or when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We have determined the restaurant level is the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. If the carrying amount is not recoverable, we record an impairment charge for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value. We determine fair value based on discounted projected future operating cash flows of the restaurants over their remaining service life using a risk adjusted discount rate that is commensurate with the inherent risk that is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. Impairment charges are included in Other (gains) and charges in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Refer to Note 3 - Fair Value Measurements for further information on impairment charges.
Leases - We recognize lease liabilities and corresponding lease assets based on the present value of the lease payments using our incremental borrowing rate applicable to the lease term. Landlord contributions are recorded as an adjustment to the lease assets. The lease term commences on the date the lessor makes the underlying asset or assets available, irrespective of when lease payments begin under the contract. When determining the lease term at commencement, we consider both termination and renewal option periods available, and only include the period for which failure to renew the lease imposes a penalty on us in such an amount that renewal, or termination options, appear to be reasonably certain. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components, for all leases, as a single lease component.
The interest rates used in our lease contracts are not implicit. We derive our incremental borrowing rate using the interest rate we would pay on our existing borrowings, adjusted for the effect of designating collateral and the lease terms using market data as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics. The reasonably certain lease term and incremental borrowing rate for each lease requires judgment by management and can impact the classification and accounting for a lease as operating or finance, as well as the value of the lease asset and lease liability. We monitor for events or changes in circumstances that require reassessment of lease classification. When a reassessment results in the re-measurement of a lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the lease asset.
Variable lease costs, consisting primarily of property taxes, maintenance expenses and contingent rent, are expensed as incurred in Restaurant expenses related to restaurant properties and General and administrative for our corporate headquarters in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and are not included in lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contingent rent represents payment of variable lease obligations based on a percentage of sales, as defined by the terms of the applicable lease, for certain restaurant facilities and is recorded at the point in time we determine that it is probable that such sales levels will be achieved.
Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in Restaurant expenses for restaurant properties and General and administrative for our corporate headquarters, in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Finance lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the useful life of the leased asset or the lease term and the expenses are recognized in Depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Interest on each finance lease liability is recorded to Interest expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Lease asset carrying amounts are assessed for impairment annually or when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, in accordance with our long-lived asset impairment policy. Impairment

charges are included in Other (gains) and charges in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Refer to Note 3 - Fair Value Measurements for further information on impairment charges.
Definite-Lived Intangible Assets - Definite-lived intangible assets primarily include the reacquired franchise rights resulting from acquisitions and are included in Intangibles, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the related franchise agreement. We determine the fair value of reacquired franchise rights based on discounted projected future operating cash flows of the restaurants associated with these franchise rights. We review the carrying amount annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount is not recoverable, we record an impairment charge for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value. Impairment charges are included in Other (gains) and charges in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets - The costs of obtaining non-transferable liquor licenses from local government agencies are expensed over the specified term of the license to Restaurant expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The costs of purchasing transferable liquor licenses through open markets in jurisdictions with a limited number of authorized liquor licenses are capitalized as indefinite-lived intangible assets and included in Intangibles, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Transferable liquor licenses are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Impairment charges are recognized based on the excess of carrying value over fair value. We determine fair value based on prices in the open market for licenses in same or similar jurisdictions. Impairment charges are included in Other (gains) and charges in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Goodwill - Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations and is assigned to the reporting unit in which the acquired business will operate for purposes of impairment testing. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, during the second quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Our two restaurant brands, Chili’s and Maggiano’s, are both operating segments and reporting units.
We may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit is impaired. If the qualitative assessment is not performed or if we determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, the fair value of the reporting unit is calculated. The carrying value of the reporting unit is compared to its estimated fair value, and if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is written down to its implied fair value.
During fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, we performed our annual goodwill impairment analysis using a qualitative approach to determine whether indicators of impairment exist. Related to the qualitative assessment, we evaluated factors including our market capitalization, as well as the market capitalization of other companies in the restaurant industry, sales at our restaurants and significant adverse changes in the operating environment for the restaurant industry. Based on these factors, no indicators of impairment were identified during our annual analysis performed in the second quarters of fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023. Additionally, no indicators of impairment were identified through the end of each fiscal year.
Insurance Reserves - We are self-insured for certain losses related to health, general liability and workers’ compensation claims. We maintain stop loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit our total exposure. The self-insurance liability represents an estimate of the ultimate cost of claims incurred and unpaid as of the balance sheet date. The estimated liability is not discounted and is established based upon analysis of historical data and actuarial estimates and is reviewed on a quarterly basis to confirm that the liability is appropriate. The estimated incurred but unreported costs to settle unpaid claims are included in Other accrued liabilities and Other liabilities, depending on their current or long-term nature, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Preferred Stock - Our Board of Directors is authorized to provide for the issuance of 1.0 million preferred shares with a par value of $ 1.00 per share, in one or more series, and to fix the voting rights, liquidation preferences, dividend rates, conversion rights, redemption rights, and terms, including sinking fund provisions, and certain other rights and preferences. As of June 25, 2025, no preferred shares were issued.

Revenues - Revenues are presented in the Company sales and Franchise revenues captions in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Company Sales - Company sales include revenues generated by the operation of Company-owned restaurants including food and beverage sales, net of discounts, Maggiano’s banquet service charge income, delivery, gift card breakage, digital entertainment revenues, merchandise income and are net of gift card discount costs from third-party gift card sales. We record revenues from the sale of food, beverages and alcohol, net of discounts, upon delivery to the customer. Sales taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue transactions and collected from a customer have been excluded from revenues.
Gift card breakage represents the monetary value associated with outstanding gift card balances that will not be redeemed. We estimate this amount based on our historical gift card redemption patterns and actuarial estimates, update the breakage rate estimate periodically and if necessary, adjust the deferred revenues balance within the Gift card liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Breakage revenues are recognized proportionate to the pattern of related gift card redemptions. We do not charge dormancy fees, or any other fees related to monitoring or administering the gift card program to cardholders. Additionally, proceeds from the sale of gift cards are recorded as deferred revenues in the Gift card liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognized as Company sales when the gift card is redeemed by the holder.
Our gift cards are sold through various outlets such as in-restaurant, Chili’s and Maggiano’s websites, directly to other businesses and through third-party distributors that sell our gift cards at retail locations. We incur incremental direct costs, such as commissions and activation fees, for gift cards sold by third-party businesses and distributors. These gift card discount costs are deferred and amortized against revenues proportionate to the pattern of related gift card redemptions.
Franchise Revenues - Franchise revenues include royalties, franchise advertising fees, franchise and development fees, and other service fees. Franchise royalties are based on a percentage of the sales generated by our franchise-operated restaurants. The performance obligation related to franchise sales is considered complete upon the sale of food, beverages and alcohol, therefore royalty revenues are recognized in the same period the sales are generated at the franchise-operated restaurants. Franchise advertising fees are revenues that our domestic franchisees are contractually obligated to contribute into certain marketing funds. Franchise and development fees are received from franchises for new restaurant openings and for territory development arrangements. The performance obligation related to these arrangements are collectively deferred as a contract liability and recognized on a straight-line basis into Franchise revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income over the term of the underlying agreements.
Advertising Expenses - Advertising production costs are expensed in the period when the advertising first takes place. Other advertising costs are expensed as incurred. In the fiscal years ended June 25, 2025, June 26, 2024 and June 28, 2023, advertising expenses of $ 146.6 million, $ 130.2 million and $ 58.2 million, respectively, were included in Restaurant expenses, and advertising contributions from franchisees of $ 6.5 million, $ 6.0 million and $ 3.0 million, respectively, were recorded in Franchise revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We record a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in an income tax return that is not more-likely-than-not to be realized. We recognize any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in Provision (benefit) for income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Additionally, income taxes are computed on a consolidated legal jurisdiction basis with no regard to brand.

Stock-Based Compensation - We measure and recognize compensation costs at fair value for all share-based payments. We recognize compensation expenses, net of forfeitures, using a graded-vesting schedule or on a straight-line basis, as applicable, over the vesting period, or the date on which retirement eligibility is achieved, if earlier.
Certain employees are generally awarded performance shares and restricted stock units, while non-employee members of the Board of Directors are generally awarded restricted stock units. Awards granted to the Board of Directors are non-forfeitable and are fully expensed upon grant. Awards to eligible employees may vest over a specified period of time or service period and may also contain performance-based conditions. The fair values of restricted stock units that do not contain a performance condition are based on our closing stock price on the date of grant.
Performance shares represent a right to receive shares of common stock upon satisfaction of Company performance goals as defined in the grant agreements. The fair value of our performance shares with a market-based metric, such as total shareholder return (“TSR”), is determined by a Monte Carlo simulation on the grant date . Refer to Note 11 - Stock-based Compensation for further information about the Monte Carlo simulation assumptions. Performance shares are expensed on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period. Our performance shares with vesting contingent only upon Company TSR performance were granted in fiscal 2025 and have a five year vesting period. Our performance shares with vesting contingent upon meeting Company performance goals based on earnings at the end of a three-fiscal-year vesting period also include a TSR component and are expensed over the vesting period based on management’s periodic estimates of the number of shares that will be earned under the Company earnings performance metric. A cumulative expenses adjustment is recognized when that estimate changes.
Foreign Currency - Foreign currency translation adjustments represents the unrealized impact of translating the financial statements of our Canadian restaurants from their respective functional currency 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.
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:
June 25, 2025 June 26, 2024 June 28, 2023
Basic weighted average shares outstanding 44.6 44.4 44.1
Dilutive stock options 0.1 0.1 0.1
Dilutive restricted shares 1.4 1.2 0.8
Total dilutive impact 1.5 1.3 0.9
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 46.1 45.7 45.0
Awards excluded due to anti-dilutive effect — 0.4 1.3
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
As of June 25, 2025, we adopted 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 adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not impact our results of operations, cash flow or financial condition. See Note 14 - Segment Information for our segment disclosures.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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.
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.
The following table reflects the changes in deferred franchise and development fees for the fiscal years ended on June 25, 2025 and June 26, 2024:

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Financial Instruments
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 long-term 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 observable bid prices and are considered Level 2 fair value measurements, and the carrying amounts and the fair values are as follows:
June 25, 2025 June 26, 2024
Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value
8.25 % notes $ 346.0 $ 372.3 $ 345.2 $ 367.8

— — 349.8 349.6
(1) On October 1, 2024, the 5.00% notes matured and were repaid in full using borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Non-Financial Assets
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 determined the fair values of property and equipment, including finance lease assets, operating lease assets and reacquired franchise rights are based on Level 3 fair value measurements. 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. We record an impairment charge for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value.

6. LEASES
As of June 25, 2025, 1,108 of our 1,162 Company-owned restaurant facilities were leased. We typically lease our restaurant facilities through ground leases (where we lease land only, but construct the building and leasehold improvements) or retail leases (where we lease the land/retail space and building, but construct the leasehold improvements). As of June 25, 2025, the restaurant leases have cumulative renewal clauses of 3 to 40 years at our option. Our leased restaurants typically have an initial lease term of 10 to 20 years, with one or more renewal terms ranging from 3 to 10 years. The leases typically provide for a fixed rental or a fixed rental plus percentage rentals based on sales volume. In addition to our restaurant facilities, we also lease our corporate headquarters location and certain equipment. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material covenant restrictions.

8.25 % Notes
In fiscal 2023, we issued $ 350.0 million of 8.25 % senior notes due July 15, 2030 . The 8.25% notes require semi-annual interest payments in arrears, on each January 15 and July 15, which began on January 15, 2024.
Revolving Credit Facility
On May 1, 2025, we amended our $ 900.0 million revolving credit facility to increase the capacity to $ 1.0 billion. The Company incurred and capitalized $ 3.6 million of debt issuance costs associated with the revolving credit facility during fiscal 2025, which are included in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The $ 1.0 billion revolving credit facility, as amended, matures on May 1, 2030 and bears interest of SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.25 % to 2.00 % and an undrawn commitment fee of 0.20 % to 0.30 %, both based on a function of our debt-to-cash-flow ratio. As of June 25, 2025, our interest rate was 5.82 % consisting of SOFR of 4.32 % plus the applicable margin and spread adjustment of 1.50 %. As of June 25, 2025, there was $ 1.0 billion available under the revolving credit facility.
Financial and Other Covenants
The 8.25% notes contain 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
59
Table of Contents

(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 June 25, 2025, we were in compliance with our covenants pursuant to the $ 1.0 billion revolving credit facility and under the terms of the indentures governing our 8.25 % notes.
8. 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 June 25, 2025 and June 26, 2024, we have outstanding lease guarantees or are secondarily liable for $ 11.9 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 2026 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 third 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. We recorded a $ 1.7 million, $ 0.8 million, and $ 2.0 million charge related to these leases and lawsuits in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 respectively, which are included in Other (gains) and charges in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. We will continue to closely monitor our exposure.
Letters of Credit
We provide letters of credit to various insurers to collateralize obligations for outstanding claims. As of June 25, 2025, we had $ 5.8 million in undrawn standby letters of credit outstanding. All standby letters of credit are renewable within the next 9 months.
Cybersecurity 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 June 27, 2025, two days following the end of fiscal 2025, the district court issued an order denying plaintiff’s motion for class certification and further ordered the plaintiff to file a notice regarding whether she intends to proceed with the case on an individual basis. We anticipate the plaintiff will not pursue the matter further and the case will be dismissed. In light of these developments, we have concluded that a loss from this matter is not likely, and therefore 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.
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.

Total deferred income tax liabilities 523.7 484.6
Deferred income taxes, net $ 101.4 $ 113.9
As of June 25, 2025, we have deferred tax assets of $ 4.7 million reflecting the benefit of state loss carryforwards, before federal benefit and valuation allowance, which expire at various dates between 2026 and 2045. We have deferred tax assets of $ 26.7 million of federal and $ 0.2 million of state tax credits, before federal benefit and valuation allowance, which expire at various dates between 2026 and 2045. The recognized deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance and federal benefit, for the state loss carryforwards is $ 2.0 million and there is no valuation allowance on the state credit carryovers. There is no valuation allowance on the federal credit carryover and $ 4.6 million is limited by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The valuation allowance is $ 6.3 million at the end of fiscal 2025 to recognize certain deductions and tax credits management believes are more-likely-than-not to not be realized. In assessing whether a deferred tax asset will be realized, we consider the likelihood of the realization, and the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income, as of June 25, 2025, we believe it is more-likely-than-not that we will realize the benefits of the deferred tax assets, net of the existing valuation allowances.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits
A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits are as follows:
June 25, 2025 June 26, 2024
Balance at beginning of year $ 2.9 $ 2.8
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 0.5 0.4
Expiration of statute of limitations ( 0.7 ) ( 0.3 )
Balance at end of year $ 2.7 $ 2.9
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, which would affect income tax expenses if resolved in our favor was $ 2.2 million and $ 2.3 million as of June 25, 2025 and June 26, 2024, respectively. We do not expect any material changes to our liability for uncertain tax positions in the next 12 months.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in Provision (benefit) for income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. As of June 25, 2025, we had $ 0.3 million ($ 0.4 million net of a $ 0.1 million Federal deferred tax benefit) of interest and penalties accrued, compared to $ 0.2 million ($ 0.2 million net of a $ 0.0 million Federal deferred tax benefit) as of June 26, 2024.
Our income tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which we operate. The periods subject to examination for our federal return are fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2026, and fiscal 2022 to fiscal 2024 for our Canadian returns. State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three to five years from date return is filed. We have various state income tax returns in the process of examination or settlements. Our federal return for fiscal 2024 is currently under examination through the Internal Revenue Service: Compliance Assurance Process (CAP) program. Our federal returns for fiscal 2025 to fiscal 2026 are under examination through the Internal Revenue Service: Bridge Plus program. There are no unrecorded liabilities associated with these examinations.
10. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Share Repurchases
Our Board of Directors approved a $ 300.0 million share repurchase program in August 2021. Our share repurchase program is used to return capital to shareholders and to minimize the dilutive impact of stock options and other share-based awards. 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 Shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In fiscal 2025, we repurchased 1.0 million shares of our common stock for $ 76.0 million as part of our share repurchase program and 0.2 million shares of our common stock for $ 14.2 million from team members to satisfy tax withholding obligations on the vesting of restricted shares. In fiscal 2024, the Company repurchased 0.7 million shares of our common stock for $ 21.0 million as part of our share repurchase program and 0.1 million shares of our common stock for $ 4.8 million from team members to satisfy tax withholding obligations on the vesting of restricted shares. These withheld shares of common stock in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 are not considered common stock repurchases under our authorized common stock repurchase plan. The company did not repurchase any shares under the repurchase program in fiscal 2023. As of June 25, 2025, we had $ 107.0 million of authorized repurchases remaining under the share repurchase program.
11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Our stockholder-approved stock-based compensation plans include the 2024 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”) for employees, the 1998 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (as amended, the “1998 Plan”) for employees, and the 1999 Stock Option and Incentive Plan for Non-Employee Directors and Consultants (the “Non-Employee Plan” and collectively, the “Plans”). In November 2024, our stockholders approved the 2024 Plan and
63
Table of Contents
Footnote Index
authorized approximately 3.5 million shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2024 Plan. The 2024 Plan replaced the 1998 Plan, and no further awards will be granted under the 1998 Plan. Our Non-Employee Plan remains in effect. In fiscal 2023, our stockholders approved an additional 0.3 million shares of our common stock for issuance under the Non-Employee Plan. The Plans provide for grants of options to purchase our common stock, performance shares, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights. Additionally, grants to eligible employees may vest over a specified period of time or service period, or may contain performance-based conditions. As of June 25, 2025, the total number of shares available for issuance pursuant to future awards under the Plans was 3.6 million shares.
Presented below is total stock-based compensation expenses, and the related total income tax benefit recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income:
Fiscal Years Ended
June 25, 2025 June 26, 2024 June 28, 2023
Stock-based compensation expenses $ 31.4 $ 25.9 $ 14.4
Tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expenses 4.1 4.3 2.6
Restricted Share Awards
In fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, eligible employees under the Plans were granted performance shares whose vesting is contingent upon meeting Company performance goals based on our earnings at the end of a three-fiscal-year period. The number of shares that will vest varies depending on the amount of earnings achieved as compared to the target amount. The grants also include a provision that will increase or decrease the number of shares to be vested if Brinker’s TSR ranking compared to the peer group falls in the top 25% or bottom 25%, respectively. The number of shares that can vest ranges from 0% of target to 200% of target. Expenses are recorded to General and administrative expenses on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, or to the date on which retirement eligibility is achieved, if shorter, based upon management’s periodic estimates of the number of shares that will be earned under the Company earnings performance metric.
In November 2024, the Board of Directors approved the 2025 Executive Performance Share Retention Plan and the granting of performance shares 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. The number of shares that can vest ranges from 0% to 200% of the target number of performance shares granted based on Brinker’s TSR over a five-year period from September 26, 2024 through September 25, 2029, relative to the TSR of the peer group. 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. Expense 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 a Monte Carlo simulation on the grant date . The Monte Carlo simulation used a volatility assumption of 68.47 % for Brinker stock, a risk-free interest rate of 4.22 %, a dividend yield of 0 %, and a term of 4.88 years which resulted in a fair value per share of $ 100.62 .
Restricted stock units granted to eligible employees under the Plans generally vest over a three-year period from the date of grant. Restricted stock units issued to eligible employees under our career equity plan generally vest upon each employee’s retirement from the Company. Expenses are recognized ratably over the vesting period, or to the date on which retirement eligibility is achieved, if shorter. Full or partial vesting of awards may occur upon a change in control (as defined in the Plans), or upon an employee’s death, disability or involuntary termination.
Restricted stock units granted to non-employee directors under the Non-Employee Plan are non-forfeitable and are expensed upon grant. Non-employee directors’ awards have variable distribution dates ranging from one year after grant to two years following departure from the Board.
