The Colonel’s Limited, LLC agreement contains a mandatory redemption clause and, accordingly, the Company has recorded this noncontrolling interest as a liability at its redemption value in other long-term liabilities. The redemption value is adjusted at each reporting date and any change is recorded in interest expense. We recorded interest income of $48,000 and interest expense of $36,000 in the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively, and interest income of $21,000 and $773,000 in the first six months of 2014 and 2013 respectively. The redemption value was $11.1 million as of June 29, 2014 and $10.8 million as of December 29, 2013.
The noncontrolling interest holders of two other joint ventures have the option to require the Company to purchase their interests. Since redemption of the noncontrolling interests is outside of the Company’s control, the noncontrolling interests are presented in the caption “Redeemable noncontrolling interests” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and include the following joint ventures:
· The Star Papa, LP agreement contains a redemption feature that is not currently redeemable, but it is probable to become redeemable in the future. Due to specific valuation provisions contained in the agreement, this noncontrolling interest has been recorded at its carrying value.
· The PJ Denver, LLC agreement contains a redemption feature that is currently redeemable and, therefore, this noncontrolling interest has been recorded at its current redemption value. The change in redemption value is recorded as an adjustment to “Redeemable noncontrolling interests” and “Retained earnings” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred Income Tax Accounts and Tax Reserves
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and several foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and the related assets and liabilities. The provision for income taxes includes income taxes paid, currently payable or receivable and those deferred. We use an estimated annual effective rate based on expected annual income to determine our quarterly provision for income taxes. Discrete items are recorded in the quarter in which they occur.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for the estimated future effects of tax loss carryforwards. The effect on deferred taxes of changes in tax rates is recognized in the period in which the new tax rate is enacted. As a result, our effective tax rate may fluctuate. Valuation allowances are established when necessary on a jurisdictional basis to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts we expect to realize. As of JuneMarch 29, 2014,2015, we had a net deferred tax liability of approximately $5.3$9.0 million.
Tax authorities periodically audit the Company. We record reserves and related interest and penalties for identified exposures as income tax expense. We evaluate these issues on a quarterly basis to adjust for events, such as statute of limitations expirations, court rulings or audit settlements, which may impact our ultimate payment for such exposures.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
The Company is required to determine the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability to a market participant. Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement. The fair value of certain assets and liabilities approximates carrying value because of the short-term nature of the accounts, including cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The fair value of our notes receivable net of allowances also approximates carrying value. The fair value of the amount outstanding under our revolving credit facility approximates its carrying value due to its variable market-based interest rate. These assets and liabilities are categorized as Level 1 as defined below.
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are required to be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
· Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
· Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
· Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
Our financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of JuneMarch 29, 20142015 and December 29, 201328, 2014 are as follows (in thousands):

Variable Interest EntitiesEntity
Papa John’s domestic restaurants, both Company-owned and franchised, participate in Papa John’s Marketing Fund, Inc. (“PJMF”), a nonstock corporation designed to operate at break-even for the purpose of designing and administering advertising and promotional programs for all participating domestic restaurants. PJMF is a variable interest entity as it does not have sufficient equity to fund its operations without ongoing financial support and contributions from its members. Based on the ownership and governance structure and operating procedures of PJMF, we have determined that we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of PJMF and therefore are not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, we determined that consolidation of PJMF is not appropriate.
Recent Accounting PronouncementRevenue from Contract with Customers
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Accounting Standards updateUpdate (“ASU”) 2014-09), a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. This update requires companies to recognize revenue at amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services at the time of transfer. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. Such estimates may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. Companies can either apply a full retrospective adoption or a modified retrospective adoption.
We are required to adopt the new requirements in the first quarter of 2017.2017; however, the Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued a proposal to deter the effective date and thus the Company’s adoption to the first quarter of 2018. We are currently evaluating the method of adoption and its impact of the new requirements on our consolidated financial statements. We currently do not believe the impact will be significant.
3.Stockholders’ Equity
In the fourth quarter of 2013, we completed a two-for-one stock split of our outstanding shares in the form of a stock dividend. The stock dividend was distributed on December 27, 2013 with approximately 21.0 million shares of stock distributed. In conjunction with the stock split, we also retired shares held in treasury. The per-share and share amounts for 2013 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the stock split.
4. Calculation of Earnings Per Share
We compute earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method requires an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common shareholders and participating security holders according to dividends declared and participating rights in undistributed earnings. We consider time-based restricted stock awards to be participating securities because holders of such shares have non-forfeitable dividend rights. Under the two-class method, undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities are subtracted from net income attributable to the Company in determining net income attributable to common shareholders.
Additionally, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the increasechange in the redemption value for the noncontrolling interest of PJ Denver, LLC reducesincreases or decreases income attributable to common shareholders.
The calculations of basic and diluted earnings per common share are as follows (in thousands, except per-share data):

4.Debt
Our debt is comprised entirely of an unsecured revolving line of credit (“Credit Facility”). The outstanding balance was $231.0 million as of March 29, 2015 and $230.5 million as of December 28, 2014. On October 31, 2014, we amended our Credit Facility to increase the amount available to $400 million from the previous $300 million availability and to extend the maturity date from April 30, 2018 to October 31, 2019. Additionally, we have the option to increase the Credit Facility an additional $100 million. The interest rate charged on outstanding
5.Debt
Our debt is comprised entirely of a revolving line of credit. The outstanding balance was $210.0 million as of June 29, 2014 and $157.9 million as of December 29, 2013.
In September 2010, we entered into a five-year, $175 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which was amended in November 2011 to extend the maturity date to November 30, 2016. On April 30, 2013, we amended and restated our revolving credit facility to increase the amount available for borrowing thereunder to $300 million and extend the maturity date to April 30, 2018. The interest rate charged on outstanding balances is LIBOR plus 75 to 175 basis points. The commitment fee on the unused balance ranges from 15 to 25 basis points. The remaining availability under the revolving credit facility,Credit Facility, reduced for outstanding letters of credit, was approximately $67.5$147.7 million as of JuneMarch 29, 2014.2015.
The revolving credit facilityCredit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants requiring the maintenance of specified fixed charges and leverage ratios. At JuneMarch 29, 2014,2015, we were in compliance with these covenants.
In August 2011, we entered into anWe use interest rate swap agreement that resulted in a fixed rateswaps to hedge against the effects of 0.53%, instead of the variable rate of LIBOR, with a notional amount of $50 million and a maturity date of August 2013. On December 31, 2012, we amended ourpotential interest rate swap agreement to extendincreases on borrowings under our Credit Facility. We currently have the maturity date to December 30, 2015. The amendment resulted in a change to the fixed rate (to 0.56% from 0.53%) but did not impact the notional amount of thefollowing interest rate swap agreement. On July 30, 2013, we terminated the $50 million swap and entered into a new $75 million swap. The new swap has an interest rate of 1.42% and a maturity date of April 30, 2018, which coincides with the maturity date of our revolving credit facility. The termination of the previous swap did not have a material impact on our 2013 results. In May 2014, we entered into a $50 million forward interest rate swap with an interest rate of 1.36%, an effective date of December 30, 2014 and a maturity date of April 30, 2018.swaps:
Effective Dates | Floating Rate Debt | Fixed Rates | |||
July 30, 2013 through April 30, 2018 | $75 million | 1.42 | % | ||
December 30, 2014 through April 30, 2018 | $50 million | 1.36 | % |
Our swaps are derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges because the swaps provide a hedge against the effects of rising interest rates on borrowings. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the swaps is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the swaps affect earnings. Gains or losses on the swaps representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. Amounts payable or receivable under the swaps are accounted for as adjustments to interest expense. As of JuneMarch 29, 2014,2015, the swaps are highly effective cash flow hedges with no ineffectiveness for the three- and six-month periodsthree month period ended JuneMarch 29, 2014.2015.
The weighted average interest ratesrate for our revolving credit facility,the Credit Facility, including the impact of the previously mentioned swap agreement, were 1.7%swaps, was 2.1% and 1.6%1.5% for the three and six months ended JuneMarch 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, respectively. Interest paid, including payments made or received under the swap,swaps, was $853,000$1.3 million and $424,000$717,000 for the three months ended JuneMarch 29, 20142015 and JuneMarch 30, 2013, respectively, and $1.6 million and $802,000 for the six months ended June 29, 2014, and June 30, 2013, respectively. As of JuneMarch 29, 2014,2015, the portion of the $543,000 net$1.5 million interest rate swap liability that would be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months as interest expense approximates $142,000.$477,000.
6.5. Litigation
Litigation
The Company is involved in a number of lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including those specifically identified below, consisting of intellectual property, employment, consumer, commercial and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, the Company has made accruals with respect to these matters, where appropriate, which are reflected in the Company’s financial statements. We review these provisions at least quarterly and adjust these provisions to reflect the impact of
negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case.
Perrin v. Papa John’s International, Inc. and Papa John’s USA, Inc. is a conditionally certified collective action filed in August 2009 in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Missouri, alleging that delivery drivers were not reimbursed for mileage and expenses in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act. Approximately 3,900 drivers out of a potential class size of 28,800 have opted into the action. Additionally, inIn late December 2013, the District Court granted a motion for class certification in five additional states, which will addadded approximately 15,000 plaintiffs to the case. The trial is scheduled for August 2015.
We intend to vigorously defend against all claims in this lawsuit. However, given the inherent uncertainties of this litigation, the outcome of this case cannot be predicted and the amount of any potential loss cannot be reasonably estimated. A negative outcome in this case could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
7.6. Segment Information
We have five reportable segments: domestic Company-owned restaurants, domestic commissaries, North America franchising, international operations, and “all other” units.
The domestic Company-owned restaurant segment consists of the operations of all domestic (“domestic” is defined as contiguous United States) Company-owned restaurants and derives its revenues principally from retail sales of pizza and side items, such as breadsticks, cheesesticks, chicken poppers chickenand wings, cookiedessert items and dessert pizza and soft drinks to the general public.canned or bottled beverages. The domestic commissary segment consists of the operations of our regional dough production and product distribution centers and derives its revenues principally from the sale and distribution of food and paper products to domestic Company-owned and franchised restaurants. The North America franchising segment consists of our franchise sales and support activities and derives its revenues from sales of franchise and development rights and collection of royalties from our franchisees located in the United States and Canada. The international operations segment principally consists of Company-owned restaurants in China and distribution sales to franchised Papa John’s restaurants located in the United Kingdom, Mexico and China and our franchise sales and support activities, which derive revenues from sales of franchise and development rights and the collection of royalties from our international franchisees. International franchisees are defined as all franchise operations outside of the United States and Canada. All other business units that do not meet the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments, which are not operating segments, we refer to as our “all other” segment, which consists of operations that derive revenues from the sale, principally to Company-owned and franchised restaurants, of printing and promotional items, risk management services, and information systems and related services used in restaurant operations, including our point-of-sale system, online and other technology-based ordering platforms.
Generally, we evaluate performance and allocate resources based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes and intercompany eliminations. Certain administrative and capital costs are allocated to segments based upon predetermined rates or actual estimated resource usage. We account for intercompany sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties and eliminate the activity in consolidation.
Our reportable segments are business units that provide different products or services. Separate management of each segment is required because each business unit is subject to different operational issues and strategies. No single external customer accounted for 10% or more of our consolidated revenues.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Papa John’s International, Inc. (referred to as the “Company,” “Papa John’s” or in the first person notations of “we,” “us” and “our”) began operations in 1984. At JuneMarch 29, 2014,2015, there were 4,4874,699 Papa John’s restaurants (731(739 Company-owned and 3,7563,960 franchised) operating in all 50 states and in 37 international countries and territories. Our revenues are principally derived from retail sales of pizza and other food and beverage products to the general public by Company-owned restaurants, franchise royalties, sales of franchise and development rights, sales to franchisees of food and paper products, printing and promotional items, risk management services, and information systems and related services used in their operations.
The results of operations are based on the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to select accounting policies for critical accounting areas and make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant changes in assumptions and/or conditions in our critical accounting policies could materially impact theour operating results. See “Notes 1 and 2” of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for a discussion of the basis of presentation and the significant accounting policies.

FOCUS System
TheAs of March 29, 2015, the Company is implementing ahad implemented its new, proprietary point-of-sale system (“FOCUS”) in substantially all domestic system-wide restaurants. As of June 29, 2014, we had installed FOCUS in 383 restaurants (369 Company-owned and 14 franchised), with the majority of the installations expected to occur by the end of 2014.
The costs related to implementing FOCUS are projected to decrease income before income taxes by approximately $5.0 million in 2014, or an $0.08 negative impact on diluted earnings per share, as compared to 2013. FOCUS had the following impact on our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended JuneMarch 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014 (in thousands):

Total income before income taxes and other measures excluding FOCUS system rollout costs included within this filingrestaurants, which are not measures defined by GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should not be construed as substitutes for or better indicators of the company’s performance than the company’s GAAP results. Management believes presenting income before income taxes and other measures excluding the FOCUS system rollout costs is important for purposes of comparisonbeing depreciated over five to prior year results and analyzing each segment’s operating results. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP measures to allocate resources and analyze trends and underlying operating performance of the Company.
As part of the rollout, we have partnered with a third party to offer a financing option for this system to our franchisees. The arrangement with the third party requires us to offer a guarantee for the loans. The term of these loans will be fiveseven years, or less and will require us to perform under the guarantee when a franchisee has a late payment in excess of 60 days. The guarantee is limited to the greater of 10% of all loans or 100% of all loans that have higher risk profiles. Higher risk loan profiles are determined based on pre-established criteria including length of time in business, credit rating, and other factors. As part of this program, we have the ability to decline funding on higher risk loans.
We will record a liability for the estimated fair value of the guarantee. As of June 29, 2014, we have no recorded liability as the FOCUS franchise rollout has just started.

The market price for cheese averaged $2.13 and $2.17$1.54 per pound for the three- and six-month periods in 2014,first quarter of 2015, compared to $1.78 and $1.72$2.21 per pound in the prior year comparable periods.year. This was slightly offset by higher depreciation expense associated with FOCUS equipment of approximately $500,000.

Domestic commissaries’ income before income taxes decreasedincreased approximately $2.8$1.4 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2014, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The decrease for the three-month period was primarily due to a lower margin of approximately $800,000, higher insurance claims costs of approximately $1.1 million and higher costs associated with various ongoing commissary initiatives. The decrease for the six-month period was due to the previously mentioned higher costs, partially offset by incremental profits from higher sales. We manage commissary results on a full year basis and anticipate the 2014 full year profit margin will approximate 2013.restaurant volumes.

Litigation Matters
The Company is currently party to a conditionally certified collective action lawsuit (“Perrin”) that is scheduled for trial in August 2015. We intend to vigorously defend against all claims in this lawsuit. However, given the first six monthsinherent uncertainties of 2014 was primarily due tothis litigation, the prior year including both favorable state tax settlementsoutcome of this case cannot be predicted and the reinstatementamount of certain 2012 tax credits underany potential loss cannot be reasonably estimated. A negative outcome in this case could have a material adverse effect on the American Taxpayer Relief ActCompany. For additional details see “Note 5” of 2012.“Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our debt is comprised entirely of a $300 millionan unsecured revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with a maturity date of April 30, 2018.October 31, 2019. Outstanding balances under this facility$400 million Credit Facility were $210.0$231.0 million as of JuneMarch 29, 20142015 and $157.9$230.5 million as of December 29, 2013. The increase in the outstanding balance was primarily due to borrowings to fund increased share repurchases.28, 2014.
The interest rate charged on outstanding balances is LIBOR plus 75 to 175 basis points. The commitment fee on the unused balance ranges from 15 to 25 basis points. The increment over LIBOR and the commitment fee are
determined quarterly based upon the ratio of total indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), as defined by the revolving credit facility.Credit Facility. The remaining availability under the revolving credit facility,Credit Facility, reduced for outstanding letters of credit, was approximately $67.5$147.7 million as of JuneMarch 29, 2014.2015.
We use interest rate swaps to hedge against the effects of potential interest rate increases on borrowings under our revolving credit facility. On July 30, 2013, we terminated our $50 millionCredit Facility. We currently have the following interest rate swap agreement, which had a fixed rateswaps as of 0.56% instead of the variable rate of LIBOR. Upon termination of the $50 million swap, we entered into a $75 million swap with an interest rate of 1.42% and a maturity date of April 30, 2018, which coincides with the maturity date of our revolving credit facility. In May 2014, we entered into a $50 million forward interest rate swap with an interest rate of 1.36%, an effective date of December 30, 2014 and a maturity date of April 30, 2018.

(a)We require capital primarily for the development, acquisition, renovation and maintenance of restaurants, the development, renovation and maintenance of commissary facilities and equipment and the enhancement of corporate systems and facilities, including technological enhancements such as our FOCUS system. The decrease of approximately $3.6 million is primarily due to the prior year including FOCUS equipment costs for domestic Company-owned restaurants and FOCUS software development costs.
(b) Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net cash provided by operating activities (from the consolidated statements of cash flows) less the purchases of property and equipment. We view free cash flow as an important measure because it is one factor that management uses in determining the amount of cash available for discretionary investment. Free cash flow is not a term defined by GAAP and as a result our measure of free cash flow might not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Free cash flow should not be construed as a substitute for or a better indicator of our performance than the Company’s GAAP measures.
We require capital primarily for the development, acquisition, renovation and maintenance of restaurants, the development, renovation and maintenance of commissary facilities and equipment and the enhancement of corporate systems and facilities, including technological enhancements such as our FOCUS system. Capital expenditures were $26.2 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014, compared to $25.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
We also require capital for share repurchases and the payment of cash dividends, which are funded by cash flow from operations and borrowings on our revolving credit facility. We repurchased $63.3$24.8 million and $58.8$32.8 million of common stock for the sixthree months ended JuneMarch 29, 20142015 and JuneMarch 30, 2013,2014, respectively.

Subsequent to the secondfirst quarter, on July 31, 2014,April 29, 2015, our Board of Directors approved a 12% increase in the Company’s dividend rate per common share, from $0.50 on an annual basis to $0.56 on an annual basis, and declared a thirdsecond quarter dividend of $0.14 per common share (approximately $5.7$5.6 million based on current shareholders of record). The dividend will be paid on AugustMay 22, 20142015 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 13, 2014.May 11, 2015.

Certain matters discussed in this report, including information within Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Generally, the use of words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “will,” “forecast,” “plan,” “project,” or similar words identify forward-looking statements that we intend to be included within the safe harbor protections provided by the federal securities laws. Such forward-looking statements may relate to projections or guidance concerning business performance, revenue, earnings, contingent liabilities, resolution of litigation, commodity costs, profit margins, unit growth, capital expenditures, and other financial and operational measures. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks,
uncertainties and assumptions, which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those matters expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. The risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are involved in our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
· aggressive changes in pricing or other marketing or promotional strategies by competitors, which may adversely affect sales; and new product and concept developments by food industry competitors;
· changes in consumer preferences or consumer buying habits, including the impact of adverse general economic conditions, such as increasing tax rates;conditions;
· the impact that product recalls, food quality or safety issues, incidences of foodborne illness, food contamination and other general public health concerns, including potential epidemics, could have system-wide on our restaurants or our results;
· failure to maintain our brand strength and quality reputation;reputation and risks related to our better ingredients marketing strategy;
· the ability of the Company and its franchisees to meet planned growth targets and operate new and existing restaurants profitably;
· increases in or sustained high costs of food ingredients or other restaurant costs. This could include increased employee compensation, benefits, insurance, tax rates, regulatory compliance and similar costs,costs; including increased costs resulting from federal health care legislation;
· disruption of our supply chain or commissary operations which could be caused by our sole source of supply of cheese or limited source of suppliers for other key ingredients or more generally due to weather, drought, disease, geopolitical or other disruptions beyond our control;
· increased risks associated with our international operations, including economic and political conditions, and instability in our international markets, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, and difficulty in meeting planned sales targets and new store growth. This could include our expansion into emerging or underpenetrated markets, such as China,
where we have a Company-owned presence. Based on prior experience in underpenetrated markets, operating losses are likely to occur as the market is being established;
· �� the impact of changes in interest rates on the Company or our franchisees;
· the credit performance of our franchise loan or guarantee programs;
· the impact of the resolution of current or future claims and litigation;litigation, in particular the Perrin litigation that is scheduled for trial in August 2015 (see “Note 5” of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information);
· current or proposed legislation impacting our business;
·the impact of changes in currency exchange and interest rates;
· failure to effectively execute succession planning, and our reliance on the multiple roles of our Founder, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as our brand spokesperson; and
· disruption of critical business or information technology systems, and risks associated with systems failures and data privacy and security breaches, including theft of Company, employee and customer information. This would include the increased risk associated with the rollout of FOCUS. If prolonged and widespread technological problems are experienced during the rollout, our domestic operations could be disrupted, which could adversely impact sales.
For a discussion of these and other risks that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, refer to “Part I. Item 1A. — Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2013,28, 2014, as well as subsequent filings. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise, except as required by law.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Our debt is comprised entirely of a revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with available borrowingsoutstanding balances of $300 million and a maturity date of April 30, 2018. The outstanding balance under this facility was $210.0$231.0 million as of JuneMarch 29, 20142015 and $157.9$230.5 million as of December 29, 2013.28, 2014. On October 31, 2014, we amended our Credit Facility to increase the amount available from $300 million to $400 million and extend the maturity date from April 30, 2018 to October 31, 2019. The amendment also allows for an additional $100 million in borrowings. The interest rate charged on outstanding balances is LIBOR plus 75 to 175 basis points. The commitment fee on the unused balance ranges from 15 to 25 basis points.
We attempt to minimize interest risk exposure and to lower our overall long-term borrowing costs for changes in interest rates through the utilization of interest rate swaps, which are derivative financial instruments. Our swaps are entered into with financial institutions and have reset dates and critical terms that match those of the underlying debt. By using a derivative instrument to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates, we expose ourselves to credit risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. We minimize the credit risk by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties whose credit rating is evaluated on a quarterly basis.
On July 30, 2013, we terminated our $50 millionWe currently have the following interest rate swap agreement, which had a fixed rateswaps outstanding as of 0.56% instead of the variable rate of LIBOR. Upon termination of the $50 million swap, we entered into a $75 million swap with an interest rate of 1.42% and a maturity date of April 30, 2018, which coincides with the maturity date of our revolving credit facility. In May 2014, we entered into a $50 million forward interest rate swap with an interest rate of 1.36%, an effective date of December 30, 2014 and a maturity date of April 30, 2018.March 29, 2015:
Effective Dates | Floating Rate Debt | Fixed Rates | |||
July 30, 2013 through April 30, 2018 | $75 million | 1.42 | % | ||
December 30, 2014 through April 30, 2018 | $50 million | 1.36 | % |
The effective interest rate on borrowings under the revolving line of credit,Credit Facility, including the impact of the interest rate swap agreement,swaps, was 1.6%2.1% as of JuneMarch 29, 2014.2015. An increase in the present interest rate of 100 basis points on the line of creditoutstanding balance outstanding as of JuneMarch 29, 2014,2015, including the impact of boththe interest rate swaps, would increase interest expense by approximately $850,000.$1.1 million.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We currently do not enter into financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rates since only 6.3% of our total revenues are derived from salesrates. Sales to customers and royalties outside the United States.
TableStates represent approximately 6% of Contentsour total revenues.
Commodity Price Risk
In the ordinary course of business, the food and paper products we purchase, including cheese (historically representing 35% to 40% of our food cost), are subject to seasonal fluctuations, weather, availability, demand and other factors that are beyond our control. We have pricing agreements with some of our vendors, including forward pricing agreements for a portion of our cheese purchases for our domestic Company-owned restaurants, which are accounted for as normal purchases; however, we still remain exposed to on-going commodity volatility.
The following table presents the actual average block price for cheese by quarter through the secondfirst quarter of 20142015 and the projected average block price for cheese by quarter through 20142015 (based on the July 29, 2014April 28, 2015 Chicago Mercantile Exchange cheese futures market prices):

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon this evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there was no change made in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Company is involved in a number of lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including those specifically identified below, consisting of intellectual property, employment, consumer, commercial and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 450, “Contingencies,”Contingencies, the Company has made accruals with respect to these matters, where appropriate, which are reflected in the Company’s financial statements. We review these provisions at least quarterly and adjust these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case.
Perrin v. Papa John’s International, Inc. and Papa John’s USA, Inc. is a conditionally certified collective action filed in August 2009 in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Missouri, alleging that delivery drivers were not reimbursed for mileage and expenses in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Approximately 3,900 drivers out of a potential class size of 28,800 have opted into the action. Additionally, inIn late December 2013, the District Court granted a motion for class certification in five additional states, which will addadded approximately 15,000 plaintiffs to the case. The trial is scheduled for August 2015.
We intend to vigorously defend against all claims in this lawsuit. However, given the inherent uncertainties of this litigation, the outcome of this case cannot be predicted and the amount of any potential loss cannot be reasonably estimated. A negative outcome in this case could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
There have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013.28, 2014.
