Wingstop Inc. 10-Q

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Commodity Price Risk. We are exposed to market risks from changes in commodity prices. Many of the food products purchased by us are affected by weather, production, availability and other factors outside of our control, including inflation as compared to the prior year period. Although we enter into arrangements in an effort to mitigate the price volatility of food costs, there are no established fixed price markets for fresh bone-in chicken wings, so we may be subject to prevailing market conditions. Bone-in chicken wings accounted for approximately 18.9% and 15.8% of our company-owned restaurant cost of sales during the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, respectively. A hypothetical 10% increase in the bone-in chicken wing costs would have increased costs of sales by approximately $0.8 million during the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2024. We do not engage in speculative financial transactions nor do we hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. Interest Rate Risk. Our long-term debt, including current portion, consisted entirely of the $720.9 million incurred under the 2020 Class A-2 Notes and the 2022 Class A-2 Notes as of June 29, 2024 (excluding unamortized debt issuance costs). The Company’s predominantly fixed-rate debt structure has reduced its exposure to interest rate increases that could adversely affect its earnings and cash flows, but the Company remains exposed to changes in market interest rates reflected in the fair value of the debt and to the risk that the Company may need to refinance maturing debt with new debt at a higher rate. The Company is exposed to interest rate increases under the 2022 Variable Funding Notes; however, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its 2022 Variable Funding Notes as of June 29, 2024. 27
