The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last Wednesday in August. Accordingly, each fiscal year normally consists of 13 four-week periods, or accounting periods, accounting for 364 days in the aggregate. However, every fifth or sixth year, we have a fiscal year that consists of 53 weeks, accounting for 371 days in the aggregate; fiscal year 2016 will bewas such a year. Each of theThe first three quarters of each fiscal year, prior to fiscal year 2016, consisted of three four-week periods, while the fourth quarter normally consistedconsists of four four-week periods.

 

The Company has three reportable segments: Company-owned restaurants, Culinary Contract Services (“CCS”), and Franchise Operations.

 

 

Company-owned restaurants consists of several brands which are aggregated into one reportable segment because the nature of the products and services, the production processes, the customers, the methods used to distribute the products and services, the nature of the regulatory environment, and store level profit margin are similar. The chief operating decision maker analyzes Company-owned restaurants at store level profit which is revenue less cost of food, payroll and related costs, other operating expenses, and occupancy costs. The primary brands are Luby’s Cafeterias, Fuddruckers, and Cheeseburger in Paradise, with a non-core restaurant location operating under the brand name Bob Luby’s Seafood Grill. All company-owned restaurants are casual dining restaurants. Each restaurant is an operating segment because operating results and cash flow can be determined for each restaurant.

 

The total number of Company-owned restaurants was 178173 at June 1,December 21, 2016 and 177175 at August 26, 2015.

 

CCS, branded as Luby’s Culinary Contract Services, consists of a business line servicing healthcare, higher education and corporate dining clients.clients, and, as of December 2016, retail grocery. The healthcare accounts are full service and typically include in-room delivery, catering, vending, coffee service, and retail dining. CCS has contracts with long-term acute care hospitals, acute care medical centers, ambulatory surgical centers, behavioral hospitals, and business and industry clients. CCS has the unique ability to deliver quality services that include facility design and procurement as well as nutrition and branded food services to our clients. The cost of Culinary Contract Services on the Consolidated Statements of Operations include all food, payroll and related costs, and other operating expenses related to CCS sales.

The total number of CCS contractslocations was 2623 at June 1,December 21, 2016 and 2324 at August 26, 2015.  31, 2016.

 

 

We only offer franchises for only the Fuddruckers brand. Franchises are sold in markets where expansion is deemed advantageous to the development of the Fuddruckers concept and system of restaurants. Initial franchise agreements have a term of 20 years. Franchise agreements typically grant franchisees an exclusive territorial license to operate a single restaurant within a specified area, usually a four-mile radius surrounding the franchised restaurant.

 

Franchisees bear all direct costs involved in the development, construction, and operation of their restaurants. In exchange for a franchise fee, the Company provides franchise assistance in the following areas: site selection, prototypical architectural plans, interior and exterior design and layout, training, marketing and sales techniques, assistance by a Fuddruckers “opening team” at the time a franchised restaurant opens, and operations, and accounting guidelines set forth in various policies and procedures manuals.

 

All franchisees are required to operate their restaurants in accordance with Fuddruckers’ standards and specifications, including controls over menu items, food quality, and preparation. The Company requires the successful completion of its training program by a minimum of three managers for each franchised restaurant. In addition, franchised restaurants are evaluated

regularly by the Company for compliance with franchise agreements, including standards and specifications through the use of periodic, unannounced, on-site inspections, and standard evaluation reports.

 

The number of franchised restaurants was 114113 at June 1,December 21, 2016 and 106113 at August 26, 2015.31, 2016.  

 

 

In November 1997, a prior owner of the Fuddruckers – World’s Greatest Hamburgers ® brand granted to a licensee the exclusive right to use the Fuddruckers proprietary marks, trade dress and system to develop Fuddruckers restaurants in a territory consisting of certain countries in Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia. As of July 2016,January 2017, this licensee operated 3534 restaurants that are licensed to use the Fuddruckers Proprietary Marks in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Lebanon, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Morocco, and Malaysia. The Company does not receive revenue or royalties from these restaurants.

The table on the following page shows segment financial information. The table also lists total assets for each reportable segment. Corporate assets include cash and cash equivalents, property and equipment, assets related to discontinued operations, property held for sale, deferred tax assets, and prepaid expenses.

 

 

 

GAAP establishes a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities.liabilities, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. Fair value measurements guidance applies whenever other statements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value.

 

GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include:

 

 Recurring fair value measurements related to liabilities are presented below:

Non-recurring fair value measurements related to impaired property and equipment consisted of the following:

 

Note 5.6. Income Taxes 

 

No cash payments of estimated federal income taxes were made during the three quartersquarter ended June 1,December 21, 2016. 

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using currently enacted rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent future taxable income is expected to be sufficient to utilize those assets prior to their expiration. If current available information and projected future results raises doubt about the realization of the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance is necessary. Management established a $6.9 million valuation allowance in the prior year for its deferred tax assets considered more likely than not to expire before being realized. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets as of December 21, 2016, we considered available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, tax–planning strategies, projected future taxable income, and results of recent operations. Management determined that for the quarter ended December 21, 2016 an increase in the valuation allowance of approximately $1.1 million was necessary. This increase to the valuation allowance was included in the net tax benefit from continuing operations of $1.5 million in the quarter ended December 21, 2016. This compares to a tax benefit from continuing operations of $0.7 million in the quarter ended December 16, 2015.

The effective tax rate, (ETR), from continuing operations was 80%20.9% and 37%27.9% for the quarter and three quarters ended June 1,December 21, 2016 and December 16, 2015, respectively. The ETR for the quarter and three quarters ended June 1,December 21, 2016 differs from the federal statutory rate of 34% due to the federal jobs credits, state income taxes and other discrete items. The additional deferred income tax benefit recognized in the quarter ended June 1, 2016 was attributable to the increase in the full year estimated pre-tax loss and a discrete deferred income tax benefit concerning the extension of the federal jobs credit.

 

Management believes that adequate provisions for income taxes have been reflected in the financial statements and is not aware of any significant exposure items that have not been reflected in the financial statements. Amounts considered probable of settlement within one year have been included in the accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

Intangible assets, net, consist of the Fuddruckers trade name and franchise agreements and will be amortized. The Company believes the Fuddruckers brand name has an expected accounting life of 21 years from the date of acquisition based on the expected use of its assets and the restaurant environment in which it is being used. The trade name represents a respected brand with customer loyalty and the Company intends to cultivate and protect the use of the trade name. The franchise agreements, after considering renewal periods, have an estimated accounting life of 21 years from the date of acquisition and will be amortized over this period of time.

 

Intangible assets, net, also includes the license agreement and trade name related to Cheeseburger in Paradise and the value of the acquired licenses and permits allowing the sales of beverages with alcohol. These assets have an expected accountinguseful life of 15 years from the date of acquisition, December 6, 2012.

 

The aggregate amortization expense related to intangible assets subject to amortization was $1.2approximately $0.4 million for the three quartersquarter ended June 1,December 21, 2016 and $1.0approximately $0.5 million for the three quartersquarter ended May 6,December 16, 2015. The aggregate amortization expense related to intangible assets subject to amortization is expected to be approximately $1.4 million in each of the next five successive fiscal years.

 

The following table presents intangible assets as of June 1,December 21, 2016 and August 26, 2015:31, 2016:

 

 

In fiscal 2010, the Company recorded an intangible asset for goodwill in the amount of approximately $0.2 million related to the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Fuddruckers. The Company also recorded, in fiscal 2013, an intangible asset for goodwill in the amount of approximately $2.0 million related to the acquisition of Cheeseburger in Paradise. Goodwill is considered to have an indefinite useful life and is not amortized. Management performs its formal annual assessment as of the second quarter each fiscal year. The individual restaurant level is the level at which goodwill is assessed for impairment under ASC 350. In accordance with our understanding of ASC 350, we have allocated the goodwill value to each reporting unit in proportion to each location’s fair value at the date of acquisition. The result of these second quarter fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014 assessments was impairment of goodwill of $38 thousand. Goodwill impairments in fiscal years 2015 and 2014 werethousand, $38 thousand, and $0.5 million, respectively. The Company will formally perform additional assessments on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances exist that indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. As of June 1,December 21, 2016, of the 23 locations that were acquired, eight locations remain operating as Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants sevenand of the restaurants closed for conversion to Fuddruckers six locations remain operating as a Fuddruckers restaurant. Three locations were closed and convertedremoved due to Fuddruckers restaurants, three locations where the option to extend the leaseleases was not exercised, two locations were subleased to franchisees, and threethe remaining four closed and held for future use.

 

Goodwill, net of accumulated impairments of approximately $0.6 million, was approximately $1.6 million as of June 1,December 21, 2016 and as of August 26, 2015,31, 2016, and relates to our Company-owned restaurants reportable segment.

 

 

 

The Company periodically evaluates long-lived assets held for use and held for sale whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. The Company analyzes historical cash flows of operating locations and compares results of poorer performing locations to more profitable locations. The Company also analyzes lease terms, condition of the assets and related need for capital expenditures or repairs, as well as construction activity and the economic and market conditions in the surrounding area.

For assets held for use, the Company estimates future cash flows using assumptions based on possible outcomes of the areas analyzed. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the location’s assets, the Company records an impairment loss based on an estimate of discounted cash flows. The estimates of future cash flows, based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, require management’s subjective judgments. Assumptions and estimates used include operating results, changes in working capital, discount rate, growth rate, anticipated net proceeds from disposition of the property and, if applicable, lease terms. The span of time for which future cash flows are estimated is often lengthy, increasing the sensitivity to assumptions made. The time span could be 20 to 25 years for newer properties, but only 5 to 10 years for older properties. Depending on the assumptions and estimates used, the estimated future cash flows projected in the evaluation of long-lived assets can vary within a wide range of outcomes. The Company considers the likelihood of possible outcomes in determining the best estimate of future cash flows. The measurement for such an impairment loss is then based on the fair value of the asset as determined by discounted cash flows.

 

The Company recognized the following impairment charges to income from operations:

 

 

The $0.2approximate $0.3 million impairment charge for the three quartersquarter ended June 1,December 21, 2016 is primarily related to goodwill at one underperforming converted Cheeseburger in Paradise leasehold location and approximately $0.2 million in lease termination costs at two property locations.properties held for sale written down to their fair value.

The $0.2 millionThere was no impairment charge for the three quartersquarter ended May 6, 2015 is related to assets at three Fuddruckers locations and included $38 thousand in goodwill related to one underperforming converted Cheeseburger in Paradise leasehold location.December 16, 2015.

 

The $0.8approximate $0.1 million net gainloss for the three quartersquarter ended June 1,December 21, 2016 is related to the sale of property and equipment.

 

The $1.7approximate $0.3 million net gain for the three quartersquarter ended May 6,December 16, 2015 is primarily related to the sale of property and equipment.one property.

 

 

On March 21, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board) approved a plan focused on improving cash flow from the acquired Cheeseburger in Paradise leasehold locations. This underperforming Cheeseburger in Paradise leasehold disposal plan called for certain Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants closure or conversion to Fuddruckers restaurants. As of June 1, 2016, two locations were reclassified to continuing operations. Of the two locations, one location reopened as a Company-owned Fuddruckers restaurant and one location was sub-leased to a Fuddruckers franchisee. Additionally, one lease was terminated and one lease expired during the three quarters ended June 1, 2016. As of June 1,December 21, 2016, no locations were classified as discontinued operations in this plan.

 

As a result of the first quarter fiscal year 2010 adoption of the Company’s Cash Flow Improvement and Capital Redeployment Plan, the Company reclassified 24 Luby’s Cafeterias to discontinued operations. As of June 1,December 21, 2016, one location remains held for sale.

The following table sets forth the assets and liabilities for all discontinued operations:

 

As of June 1,December 21, 2016, under both closure plans, the Company had one property classified as discontinued operations. The asset carrying value of the owned property was approximately $1.9 million and is included in assets related to discontinued operations. The Company is actively marketing this property for sale. The asset carrying values of the ground leases were previously impaired to zero.

 

The following table sets forth the sales and pretax losses reported from discontinued operations:

 

The following table summarizes discontinued operations for the first three quarters of fiscal 20162017 and 2015:2016: 

  

 

 

The Company periodically reviews long-lived assets against its plans to retain or ultimately dispose of properties. If the Company decides to dispose of a property, it will be moved to property held for sale, actively marketed and recorded at fair value less transaction costs. The Company analyzes market conditions each reporting period and records additional impairments due to declines in market values of like assets. The fair value of the property is determined by observable inputs such as appraisals and prices of comparable properties in active markets for assets like the Company’s. Gains are not recognized until the properties are sold.

 

Property held for sale includes unimproved land, closed restaurant properties, and related equipment for locations not classified as discontinued operations. The specific assets are valued at the lower of net depreciable value or net realizable value.

 

At June 1,December 21, 2016, the Company had fourfive owned properties recorded at approximately $4.2$5.2 million in property held for sale.

 

At August 26, 2015,31, 2016, the Company had fourfive owned properties recorded at approximately $4.5$5.5 million in property held for sale.

 

The Company is actively marketing the locations currently classified as property held for salesale.

 

 

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements, except for operating leases. 

 

 

From time to time, the Company is subject to various private lawsuits, administrative proceedings, and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. A number of these lawsuits, proceedings, and claims may exist at any given time. These matters typically involve claims from guests, employees, and others related to issues common to the restaurant industry. The Company currently believes that the final disposition of these types of lawsuits, proceedings, and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. It is possible, however, that the Company’s future results of operations for a particular fiscal quarter or fiscal year could be impacted by changes in circumstances relating to lawsuits, proceedings, or claims.

 

From time to time, the Company enters into non-cancelable contracts for the construction of its new restaurants. This construction activity exposes the Company to the risks inherent in new construction,this industry, including but not limited to rising material prices, labor shortages, delays in getting required permits and inspections, adverse weather conditions, and injuries sustained by workers, and contract termination expenses. The Company had fourtwo such non-cancelable contracts with an approximate $0.7 million commitment remaining as of June 1,December 21, 2016.

In 2015, theThe Company previously approved a Total Shareholder Return (TSR),("TSR") Performance Based Incentive Plan which provides for a right to receive an unspecified number of shares of common stock under the Employee Stock Plan based on the total shareholder return ranking compared to a selection of peer companies over a three-year cycle.cycle, for each plan year. The award value varies from 0% to 200% of a base amount, as a result of the Company’s TSR performance in comparison to its peers over the measurement period. The number of shares at the end of the three-year period will be determined as the award value divided by the closing stock price on the last day of each fiscal year accordingly. Since the plan provides for an undeterminable number of shares,awards, the plan is accounted for as a liability based plan. As of June 1,December 21, 2016, the estimated fair value of the performance sharesawards liability at the end of fiscalfor 2015, 2016 and 2017 plan years was $491 thousand, $526 thousand, and fiscal 2018, was $0.5 million for both years.$112 thousand, respectively. The estimated liability has been determined based on a Monte Carlo simulation model. Based on this estimate, management accrues expense ratably over the three-year service periods. A valuation estimate of the future liability associated with each fiscal year's performance award plan will be performed periodically with adjustments made to the outstanding liability at each reporting period, as appropriate.
