Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation - The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Bloomin’ Brands and its subsidiaries. To ensure timely reporting, the Company consolidates the results of its Brazil operations on a one month calendar lag. There were no intervening events that would materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of and for the year ended December 27, 2020. COVID-19 Pandemic - In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. In response to COVID-19, the Company temporarily closed all restaurant dining rooms in the U.S. as of March 20, 2020 and shifted operations to provide only take-out and delivery service, resulting in significantly reduced traffic in its restaurants. In early May 2020, the Company began to reopen its restaurant dining rooms with limited seating capacity in compliance with state and local regulations. As of December 27, 2020, 85% of the Company’s restaurant dining rooms were open with many still subject to seating capacity restrictions. The temporary closure of the Company’s dining rooms and the limitations on seating capacity in its reopened dining rooms have resulted in significantly reduced traffic in the Company’s restaurants. The negative effect of COVID-19 on the Company’s business was significant during 2020. See Note 3 - COVID-19 Charges for details regarding certain charges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Principles of Consolidation - All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company consolidates variable interest entities where it has been determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of those entities’ operations. The Company is a franchisor of 317 restaurants as of December 27, 2020, but does not possess any ownership interests in its franchisees and does not provide material direct financial support to its franchisees. These franchise relationships are not deemed variable interest entities and are not consolidated. Investments in entities the Company does not control, but where the Company’s interest is generally between 20% and 50% and the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the entity, are accounted for under the equity method. Fiscal Year - The Company utilizes a 52-53 week year ending on the last Sunday in December. In a 52 week fiscal year, each quarterly period is comprised of 13 weeks. The additional week in a 53 week fiscal year is added to the fourth quarter. Fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018 consisted of 52 weeks. Use of Estimates - The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated. Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash equivalents consist of investments that are readily convertible to cash with an original maturity date of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents include $37.1 million and $44.8 million, as of December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019, respectively, for amounts in transit from credit card companies since settlement is reasonably assured. Concentrations of Credit and Counterparty Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk and credit losses are through credit card receivables and trade accounts receivable consisting primarily of amounts due for gift card, vendor, franchise and other receivables. Gift card, vendor and other receivables consist primarily of amounts due from gift card resellers and vendor rebates. The Company considers the concentration of credit risk for gift card, vendor and other receivables to be minimal due to the payment histories and general financial condition of its gift card resellers and vendors. Amounts due from franchisees consist of initial franchise fees, royalty income and advertising fees. See Note 8 - Other Current Assets, Net for disclosure of trade receivables by category as of December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of counterparty risk are cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and derivatives. The Company attempts to limit its counterparty risk by investing in certificates of deposit, money market funds, noninterest-bearing accounts and other highly rated investments. Whenever possible, the Company selects investment grade counterparties and rated money market funds in order to mitigate its counterparty risk. At times, cash balances may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. See Note 17 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for a discussion of the Company’s use of derivative instruments and management of credit risk inherent in derivative instruments. Allowance for Expected Credit Losses - The Company evaluates the collectability of credit card and trade receivables based on historical loss experience by risk pool and records periodic adjustments for factors such as deterioration of economic conditions, specific customer circumstances and changes in the aging of accounts receivable balances. Losses are charged off in the period in which they are determined to be uncollectible. See Note 20 - Allowance for Expected Credit Losses for a discussion of the Company’s allowance for expected credit losses. The Company assigned its interest, and is contingently liable, under certain real estate leases, primarily related to divested restaurant properties. Contingent lease liabilities related to these guarantees are calculated based on management’s estimate of exposure to losses which includes historical analysis of credit losses, including known instances of default, and existing economic conditions. See Note 22 - Commitments and Contingencies for a discussion of the Company’s contingent lease liabilities. In instances where there was no established loss history, S&P speculative-grade default rates are utilized as an estimated expected credit loss rate. Fair Value - Fair value is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, or the exit price, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value is categorized into one of the following three levels based on the lowest level of significant input: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted market 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 Inventories - Inventories consist of food and beverages and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. Restricted Cash - From time to time, the Company may have short-term restricted cash balances consisting of amounts pledged for settlement of deferred compensation plan obligations. Property, Fixtures and Equipment - Property, fixtures and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. Estimated useful lives by major asset category are generally as follows: Buildings (1) 5 to 30 years Furniture and fixtures 5 to 7 years Equipment 2 to 7 years Computer equipment and software 3 to 7 years ____________________ (1) Includes improvements to leased properties which are depreciated over the shorter of their useful life or the reasonably certain lease term, including renewal periods that are reasonably certain. Repair and maintenance costs that maintain the appearance and functionality of the restaurant, but do not extend the useful life of any restaurant asset are expensed as incurred. The Company suspends depreciation and amortization for assets held for sale. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or disposed of are removed from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, and any resulting gain or loss is generally recognized in Other restaurant operating expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. The Company capitalizes direct and indirect internal costs associated with the acquisition, development, design and construction of Company-owned restaurant locations as these costs have a future benefit to the Company. Upon restaurant opening, these costs are depreciated and charged to depreciation and amortization expense. Internal costs of $2.7 million, $6.4 million and $6.9 million were capitalized during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For 2020 and 2019, computer equipment and software costs of $1.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively, were capitalized. As of December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019, there was $8.8 million and $25.7 million, respectively, of unamortized computer equipment and software included in Property, fixtures and equipment, net on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Goodwill and Intangible Assets - 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. The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names and are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, as of the first day of the second fiscal quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company 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 the Company determines 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, with any excess of carrying value over fair value deemed to be an indicator of impairment. Definite-lived intangible assets, which consist primarily of trademarks and reacquired franchise rights, are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition, amortized over their estimated useful lives and tested for impairment, using the relief from royalty method, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Derivatives - The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. If the derivative qualifies for hedge accounting treatment, any gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recognized in equity as a change to Accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements, foreign currency exchange rate movements, changes in energy prices and other identified risks. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings. The Company has elected not to offset derivative positions in the balance sheet with the same counterparty under the same agreement. Deferred Financing Fees - For its revolving credit facility, the Company records deferred financing fees related to the issuance of debt obligations in Other assets, net on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. For fees associated with all other debt obligations, the Company records deferred financing fees as a reduction of Long-term debt, net. The Company amortizes deferred financing fees to interest expense over the term of the respective financing arrangement, primarily using the effective interest method. The Company amortized deferred financing fees of $3.9 million, $2.5 million and $2.6 million to interest expense for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Liquor Licenses - The fees from obtaining non-transferable liquor licenses directly issued by local government agencies for nominal fees are expensed as incurred. 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 Other assets, net on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Insurance Reserves - The Company carries insurance programs with specific retention levels or high per-claim deductibles for a significant portion of expected losses under its workers’ compensation, general or liquor liability, health, property and management liability insurance programs. The Company records a liability for all unresolved claims and for an estimate of incurred but not reported claims at the anticipated cost that falls below its specified retention levels or per-claim deductible amounts. In establishing reserves, the Company considers actuarial assumptions and judgments regarding economic conditions, and the frequency and severity of claims. Reserves recorded for workers’ compensation and general liability claims are discounted using the average of the one-year and five-year risk-free rate of monetary assets that have comparable maturities. Share Repurchase - Shares repurchased are retired. The par value of the repurchased shares is deducted from common stock and the excess of the purchase price over the par value of the shares is recorded to Accumulated deficit. Revenue Recognition - The Company records food and beverage revenues, net of discounts and taxes, upon delivery to the customer. Franchise-related revenues are included in Franchise and other revenues in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Royalties, which are a percentage of net sales of the franchisee, are recognized as revenue in the period which the sales are reported to have occurred provided collectability is reasonably assured. Proceeds from the sale of gift cards, which do not have expiration dates, are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue upon redemption by the customer. The Company applies the portfolio approach practical expedient to account for gift card contracts and performance obligations. Gift card breakage, the amount of gift cards which will not be redeemed, is recognized using estimates based on historical redemption patterns. If actual redemptions vary from assumptions used to estimate breakage, gift card breakage income may differ from the amount recorded. The Company periodically updates its estimates used for breakage. Breakage revenue is recorded as a component of Restaurant sales in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Approximately 84% of deferred gift card revenue is expected to be recognized within 12 months of inception. Gift card sales that are accompanied by a bonus gift card to be used by the customer at a future visit result in a separate deferral of a portion of the original gift card sale. Revenue is recorded when the bonus card is redeemed or expires at the estimated fair market value of the bonus card. Gift card sales commissions paid to third-party providers are capitalized and subsequently amortized to Other restaurant operating expense based on historical gift card redemption patterns. See Note 4 - Revenue Recognition for rollforwards of deferred gift card sales commissions and unearned gift card revenue. Advertising fees charged to franchisees are recognized in Franchise and other revenues in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income provided collectability is reasonably assured. Initial franchise and renewal fees are recognized over the term of the franchise agreement and renewal period, respectively. The weighted average remaining term of franchise agreements and renewal periods was approximately 13 years as of December 27, 2020. The Company maintains a customer loyalty program, Dine Rewards, in the U.S., where customers have the ability to earn a reward after a number of qualified visits. The Company has developed an estimated value of the partial reward earned from each qualified visit, which is recorded as deferred revenue. Each reward has a maximum value and must be redeemed within three months of earning such reward. The revenue associated with the fair value of the qualified visit is recognized upon the earlier of redemption or expiration of the reward. The Company applies the practical expedient to exclude disclosures regarding loyalty program remaining performance obligations, which have original expected durations of less than one year. The Company collects and remits sales, food and beverage, alcoholic beverage and hospitality taxes on transactions with customers and reports revenue net of taxes in its Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Leases - The Company’s determination of whether an arrangement contains a lease is based on an evaluation of whether the arrangement conveys the right to use and control specific property or equipment. The Company leases restaurant and office facilities and certain equipment under operating leases primarily having initial terms between one five The Company accounts for fixed lease and non-lease components of a restaurant facility lease as a single lease component. Additionally, for certain equipment leases, the Company applies a portfolio approach to account for the lease assets and liabilities. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheets, and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term within Other restaurant operating expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Rent expense for the Company’s operating leases, which generally have escalating rentals over the term of the lease and may include rent holidays, is recorded on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term and those renewal periods that are reasonably certain. Rent expense is recorded in Other restaurant operating in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Payments received from landlords as incentives for leasehold improvements are recorded as a reduction of the right-of-use asset and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease as a reduction of rent expense. In April 2020, the FASB issued a question and answer document focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of COVID-19 (the “Lease Modification Q&A”). The Lease Modification Q&A provides entities with the option to elect to account for lease concessions as though the enforceable rights and obligations existed in the original lease when the total cash flows resulting from the modified lease are substantially similar to the cash flows in the original lease. The Company elected this practical expedient for COVID-19-related rent concessions, primarily rent deferrals or rent abatements, and has elected not to remeasure the related lease liability and right-of-use asset for those leases. Rent deferrals are accrued with no impact to straight-line rent expense. Rent abatements are recognized as a reduction of variable rent expense in the month they occur. This election will continue while these concessions are in effect. Pre-Opening Expenses - Non-capital expenditures associated with opening new restaurants are expensed as incurred and are included in Other restaurant operating expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Consideration Received from Vendors - The Company receives consideration for a variety of vendor-sponsored programs, such as volume rebates, promotions and advertising allowances. Advertising allowances are intended to offset the Company’s costs of promoting and selling menu items in its restaurants. Vendor consideration is recorded as a reduction of Food and beverage costs or Other restaurant operating expense when recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Costs Associated with Exit Activities - Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation is performed at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows independent of other assets. For long-lived assets deployed at its restaurants, the Company reviews for impairment at the individual restaurant level. When evaluating for impairment, the total future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are compared to the carrying amount. If the total future undiscounted cash flows of the asset are less than its carrying amount, recoverability is measured by comparing the fair value of the assets to the carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized in earnings when the asset’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair value is generally estimated using a discounted cash flow model. Restaurant closure costs, including lease termination fees, are expensed as incurred. When the Company ceases using the property rights under a non-cancelable operating lease, it records a liability for the net present value of any remaining non-rent lease-related obligations as a result of lease termination, less the estimated subtenant cost recovery that can reasonably be obtained for the property. Any subsequent adjustment to that liability as a result of lease termination or changes in estimates of cost recovery is recorded in the period incurred. The associated expense is recorded in Provision for impaired assets and restaurant closings in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Restaurant sites and certain other assets to be sold are included in assets held for sale when certain criteria are met, including the requirement that the likelihood of selling the assets within one year is probable. Advertising Costs - Advertising production costs are expensed in the period when the advertising first occurs. All other advertising costs are expensed in the period in which the costs are incurred. Advertising expense of $67.3 million, $146.1 million and $147.8 million for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, was recorded in Other restaurant operating expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Legal Costs - Settlement costs are accrued when they are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. Legal fees are recognized as incurred and are reported in General and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Research and Development Expenses (“R&D”) - R&D is expensed as incurred in General and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. R&D primarily consists of payroll and benefit costs. R&D was $2.4 million, $3.4 million and $3.8 million for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Partner Compensation - In addition to base salary, Area Operating Partners, Restaurant Managing Partners and Chef Partners generally receive performance-based bonuses for providing management and supervisory services to their restaurants, certain of which may be based on a percentage of their restaurants’ monthly operating results or cash flows and/or total controllable income (“Monthly Payments”). Certain Restaurant Managing Partners and Chef Partners in the U.S. (“U.S. Partners”) may also participate in deferred compensation programs and other performance-based compensation programs. The Company may invest in corporate-owned life insurance policies, which are held within an irrevocable grantor or “rabbi” trust account for settlement of certain of the Company’s obligations under the deferred compensation plans. Many of the Company’s international Restaurant Managing Partners are given the option to purchase participation interests in the cash distributions of the restaurants they manage. The amount, terms and availability vary by country. The Company estimates future bonuses and deferred compensation obligations to U.S. Partners and Area Operating Partners, using current and historical information on restaurant performance and records the long-term portion of partner obligations in Other long-term liabilities, net on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. Monthly Payments and deferred compensation expenses for U.S. Partners are included in Labor and other related expenses and Monthly Payments and bonus expense for Area Operating Partners are included in General and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Stock-based Compensation - Stock-based compensation awards are measured at fair value at the date of grant and expensed over their vesting or service periods. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized only for those awards expected to vest. The expense, net of forfeitures, is recognized using the straight-line method. Forfeitures of share-based compensation awards are recognized as they occur. Basic and Diluted (Loss) Earnings per Share - The Company computes basic earnings per share based on the weighted average number of common shares that were outstanding during the period. Except where the result would be antidilutive, diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of restricted stock units, performance-based share units and stock options, and the Company’s convertible senior notes and related warrants, using the treasury stock method. Performance-based share units are considered dilutive when the related performance criterion has been met. As of December 27, 2020, the Company expected to settle the principal amount of its outstanding convertible senior notes in cash and any excess in shares. As a result, only the amounts in excess of the principal amount, if applicable, were considered in diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock method. On December 28, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity,” (“ASU No. 2020-06”) and transitioned to the “if-converted” method for calculating diluted earnings per share required under the new standard beginning in 2021. The “if-converted” method requires inclusion in diluted earnings per share the full number of common shares issuable upon conversion, unless settlement is required to be paid in cash upon conversion. See Recently Adopted Financial Accounting Standards below for additional details regarding the impact of adopting ASU No. 2020-06. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions - For non-U.S. operations, the functional currency is the local currency. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date with the translation adjustments recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting period. Foreign currency exchange transaction losses are recorded in General and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Income Taxes - Deferred income 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 basis. Deferred income 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 income tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of the rate change. A valuation allowance may reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company records a tax benefit for an uncertain tax position using the highest cumulative tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company adjusts its liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the period in which it determines the issue is effectively settled, the statute of limitations expires or when more information becomes available. Liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits, including penalties and interest, are recorded in Accrued and other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities, net on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Recently Adopted Financial Accounting Standards - On December 28, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2020-06, which removes the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature or convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. ASU No. 2020-06 also requires the application of the “if-converted” method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method is no longer available. The Company adopted ASU No. 2020-06 using the modified retrospective approach which resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment that increased (decreased) the following Consolidated Balance Sheet accounts during the first quarter of 2021: ADJUSTMENT CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET CLASSIFICATION AMOUNT Deferred tax impact of cumulative-effect adjustment Deferred income tax assets, net $ 14.9 Debt discount reclassification Long-term debt, net $ 59.9 Equity issuance costs reclassification Long-term debt, net $ (2.1) Debt discount amortization reclassification, net of tax Accumulated deficit $ 4.4 Net impact of cumulative-effect adjustment Additional paid-in capital $ (47.3) After adopting ASU No. 2020-06, the Company’s convertible senior notes will be reflected entirely as a liability since the embedded conversion feature is no longer separately presented within stockholders’ equity. During 2020, the Company recognized debt discount amortization of $6.3 million within Interest expense, net related to its convertible senior notes. In February 2021, the Company made an irrevocable election under the indenture to require the principal portion of its convertible senior notes to be settled in cash and any excess in shares. Following the irrevocable notice, only the amounts settled in excess of the principal will be considered in diluted earnings per share under the “if-converted” method. In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” (“ASU No. 2020-04”). The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU No. 2020-04 was effective beginning March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022.

The Resolution Agreement ends on December 31, 2023 or upon the earlier occurrence of certain specified events, including the sale of all or substantially all of the assets or equity of Out West, bankruptcy or a liquidation event (“Qualifying Event”) (the “Forbearance Period”). Prior to the Resolution Agreement, Out West was in default of its franchise agreements for nonpayment of certain amounts due, and simultaneously in default of its credit agreement with its lenders primarily due to the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In connection with the Property Concessions, the Company recognized $4.7 million of lease right-of-use asset impairment during the thirteen weeks ended December 27, 2020, within the U.S. segment.

See Note 16 - Stockholders’ Equity for additional details. Share-based compensation-related weighted-average securities outstanding not included in the computation of net (loss) earnings per share attributable to common stockholders because their effect was antidilutive were as follows, for the periods indicated: FISCAL YEAR (shares in thousands) 2020 2019 2018 Stock options 5,155 4,003 2,879 Nonvested restricted stock units 682 158 99 Nonvested performance-based share units 514 277 201 There are approximately 19.348 million shares of the Company’s common stock that underlie its convertible senior notes based on the initial conversion rate and full principal amount. The convertible senior notes will have a dilutive impact on diluted earnings per share beginning when the average market price of the Company’s common stock for a given period exceeds the conversion price of $11.89 per share of common stock. For 2020, dilutive excess shares, if applicable, have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as the effect would be antidilutive given the Company’s net loss. Warrants to purchase approximately 19.348 million shares of the Company’s common shares at $16.64 per share were outstanding as of December 27, 2020 but were also excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share given the Company’s net loss. Had the Company been in a net income position, the dilutive effect of its convertible senior notes and related warrants on 2020 earnings per share would have been approximately 1.8 million shares, assuming settlement of the principal in cash. See Note 14 - Convertible Senior Notes for additional information regarding the Company’s convertible senior notes. |

(3) See Note 14 - Convertible Senior Notes for details regarding the convertible senior notes. Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. is a holding company and conducts its operations through its subsidiaries, certain of which have incurred indebtedness as described below. Amended Credit Agreement - On November 30, 2017, the Company and OSI, as co-borrowers, entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of institutional lenders, providing for senior secured financing of up to $1.5 billion consisting of a $500.0 million Term loan A and a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility, including a letter of credit and swing line loan sub-facilities (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”). The Senior Secured Credit Facility matures on November 30, 2022. Borrowings under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility are subject to various covenants that limit its ability to: incur additional indebtedness; make significant payments; sell assets; pay dividends and other restricted payments; acquire certain assets; effect mergers and similar transactions; and effect certain other transactions with affiliates. On May 4, 2020, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary OSI, as co-borrowers, entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), which provides relief for the Senior Secured Credit Facility financial covenant to maintain a specified quarterly Total Net Leverage Ratio (“TNLR”). Without such amendment, violation of financial covenants under the original credit agreement could have resulted in default. TNLR is the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt (Current portion of long-term debt and Long-term debt, net of cash, excluding the convertible senior notes) to Consolidated EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other adjustments as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). The Amended Credit Agreement waived the TNLR requirement for the remainder of fiscal year 2020 and requires a TNLR based on a seasonally annualized calculation of Consolidated EBITDA not to exceed the following thresholds for the periods indicated: QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MAXIMUM RATIO March 28, 2021 (1) 5.50 to 1.00 June 27, 2021 (2) 5.00 to 1.00 September 26, 2021 and thereafter (3) 4.50 to 1.00 ________________ (1) Seasonally annualized Consolidated EBITDA calculated as Consolidated EBITDA for the fiscal quarter ending March 28, 2021 divided by 34.1%. (2) Seasonally annualized Consolidated EBITDA calculated as Consolidated EBITDA for the two consecutive quarters ending June 27, 2021 divided by 58.5%. (3) Seasonally annualized Consolidated EBITDA calculated as Consolidated EBITDA for the three consecutive quarters ending September 26, 2021 divided by 77.0%. The Company is also required to meet a minimum monthly liquidity threshold of $125.0 million through March 28, 2021, calculated as the sum of available capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility, unrestricted domestic cash on hand and up to $25.0 million of unrestricted cash held by foreign subsidiaries. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company is limited to $100.0 million of aggregate capital expenditures for the four fiscal quarters through March 28, 2021. The Company is also prohibited from making certain restricted payments, investments or acquisitions until after September 26, 2021, with an exception for investments in the Company’s foreign subsidiaries which are capped at $27.5 million. Repurchasing shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock and paying dividends are also restricted until after September 26, 2021 and the Company is compliant with its financial covenants under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement. Interest rates under the Amended Credit Agreement are 275 and 175 basis points above the Eurocurrency Rate and Base Rate, respectively, and letter of credit fees and fees for the daily unused availability under the revolving credit facility are 2.75% and 0.40%, respectively. The Company is also subject to a 0% Eurocurrency floor under the Amended Credit Agreement. Once in compliance with the TNLR covenant for the test period ending September 26, 2021, the Company may elect an interest rate at each reset period based on the Alternate Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate. The Alternate Base Rate option is the highest of: (i) the prime rate of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5 of 1.0% or (iii) the Eurocurrency rate with a one-month interest period plus 1.0% (the “Base Rate”). The Eurocurrency Rate option is the seven, 30, 60, 90 or 180-day Eurocurrency rate (the “Eurocurrency Rate”). The interest rates are as follows: BASE RATE ELECTION EUROCURRENCY RATE ELECTION Term loan A and revolving credit facility 50 to 100 basis points over the Base Rate 150 to 200 basis points over the Eurocurrency Rate Interest rates under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are indexed to the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). During 2017, regulatory authorities that oversee financial markets announced that after 2021 they would no longer compel banks currently reporting information used to set LIBOR. As a result, beginning in 2022, LIBOR will no longer be available as a reference rate. Under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, in the event of the discontinuance of LIBOR, a mutually agreed-upon alternative benchmark rate will be established to replace LIBOR, which may include the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. The Company does not anticipate the discontinuance of the LIBOR will materially impact its liquidity or financial position. As of December 27, 2020, $19.3 million of the revolving credit facility was committed for the issuance of letters of credit and not available for borrowing. The Senior Secured Credit Facility is guaranteed by each of the Company’s current and future domestic subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all now owned or later acquired assets of the Company and OSI, including the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. As of December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants. Deferred Debt Issuance Costs - The Company deferred $2.9 million of debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Amended Credit Agreement. Deferred debt issuance costs of $2.0 million associated with the revolving credit facility portion of the Amended Credit Agreement were recorded in Other assets, net and all other deferred debt issuance costs were recorded in Long-term debt, net during 2020. Maturities - Following is a summary of principal payments of the Company’s total consolidated debt outstanding as of the period indicated: (dollars in thousands) DECEMBER 27, 2020 2021 $ 38,750 2022 835,053 2023 207 2024 178 2025 230,217 Thereafter — Total payments $ 1,104,405 Less: unamortized debt discount and issuance costs (67,704) Less: finance lease interest (221) Total principal payments $ 1,036,480 The following is a summary of required amortization payments for the Term loan A (dollars in thousands): SCHEDULED QUARTERLY PAYMENT DATES TERM LOAN A March 28, 2021 through December 26, 2021 $ 9,375 March 27, 2022 through September 25, 2022 $ 12,500 The Amended Credit Agreement contains mandatory prepayment requirements for Term loan A. The Company is required to prepay outstanding amounts under these loans with 50% of its annual excess cash flow, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. The amount of outstanding loans required to be prepaid in accordance with the debt covenants may vary based on the Company’s leverage ratio and year end results. |

Convertible Notes [Abstract] | |
Convertible Senior Notes | Convertible Senior Notes Convertible Senior Notes - On May 8, 2020, the Company completed a $200.0 million principal amount private offering of 5.00% convertible senior notes due in 2025 and on May 12, 2020, issued an additional $30.0 million principal amount in connection with the option granted to the initial purchasers as part of the offering (collectively, the “2025 Notes”). The 2025 Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Trustee. The 2025 Notes will mature on May 1, 2025, unless earlier converted, redeemed or purchased by the Company. The 2025 Notes bear cash interest at an annual rate of 5.00%, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2020. The 2025 Notes are unsecured obligations and do not contain any financial covenants or restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness, paying dividends or issuing or repurchasing any securities. Events of default under the indenture for the 2025 Notes include, among other things, a default in the payment when due of the principal of, or the redemption price for, any note and a default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on any note. If an event of default, the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable. The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2025 Notes is 84.122 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes, or a total of approximately 19.348 million shares for the total $230.0 million principal amount. This initial conversion rate is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $11.89 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Noteholders may convert their notes at their option only in the circumstances described in the indenture. Net proceeds from the 2025 Notes offering were approximately $221.6 million, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discounts and commissions and the Company’s offering expenses. Upon issuance, the principal amount was separated into a liability and an equity component, such that interest expense reflects the Company’s nonconvertible debt interest rate. The following table includes the outstanding principal amount and carrying value of the 2025 Notes as of the period indicated: (dollars in thousands) DECEMBER 27, 2020 Liability component Principal $ 230,000 Less: Debt discount (1) (59,862) Less: Debt issuance costs (1) (5,427) Net carrying amount $ 164,711 Equity component (2) $ 64,367 ________________ (1) Debt discount and issuance costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the 2025 Notes. (2) Recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Includes $2.4 million of equity issuance costs and net deferred tax assets of $0.6 million. The effective rate of the 2025 Notes over their expected life is 13.73%. Following is a summary of interest expense for the 2025 Notes, by component, for the period indicated: FISCAL YEAR (dollars in thousands) 2020 Coupon interest $ 7,443 Deferred discount amortization 6,275 Deferred issuance cost amortization 569 Total interest expense $ 14,287 During any calendar quarter preceding November 1, 2024 in which the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the applicable conversion price of the 2025 Notes on at least 20 of the last 30 consecutive trading days of the quarter, holders may in the immediate quarter following, convert all or a portion of their 2025 Notes . Based on the daily closing prices of the Company’s stock during the quarter ended December 27, 2020 , holders of the 2025 Notes are eligible to convert their 2025 Notes during the first quarter of 2021. When a conversion notice is received, the Company has the option to pay or deliver cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof. Accordingly, as of December 27, 2020 the Company could not be required to settle the 2025 Notes in cash and, therefore, the 2025 Notes are classified as long-term debt. As of December 27, 2020, the if-converted value of the 2025 Notes was approximately $366.6 million, which is $136.6 million higher than the initial principal amount. In February 2021, the Company provided the trustee of the 2025 Notes notice of its irrevocable election under the indenture to settle the principal portion of the 2025 Notes in cash and any excess in shares. Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions - In connection with the offering of the 2025 Notes , the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions (the “Convertible Note Hedge Transactions”) with certain of the initial purchasers of the 2025 Notes and/or their respective affiliates and other financial institutions (in this capacity, the “Hedge Counterparties”). Concurrently with the Company’s entry into the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions, the Company also entered into separate, warrant transactions with the Hedge Counterparties collectively relating to the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, and for which the Company received proceeds that partially offset the cost of entering into the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions (the “Warrant Transactions”). The Convertible Note Hedge Transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that initially underlie the 2025 Notes , and are expected generally to reduce the potential equity dilution, and/or offset any cash payments in excess of the principal amount due, as the case may be, upon conversion of the 2025 Notes . The Warrant Transactions could have a dilutive effect on the Company’s common stock to the extent that the price of its common stock exceeds the strike price of the Warrant Transactions. The strike price will initially be $16.64 per share and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Warrant Transactions. The portion of the net proceeds to the Company from the offering of the 2025 Notes that was used to pay the premium on the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions, net of the proceeds to the Company from the Warrant Transactions, was approximately $19.6 million. The net costs incurred in connection with the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions and Warrant Transactions were recorded as a reduction to Additional paid-in capital on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet during 2020. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Interest Rate Risk - The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate variability, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps. DESIGNATED HEDGES Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk - On September 9, 2014, the Company entered into variable-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements with eight counterparties to hedge a portion of the cash flows of the Company’s variable rate debt (the “2014 Swap Agreements”). The 2014 Swap Agreements had an aggregate notional amount of $400.0 million and matured on May 16, 2019. Under the terms of the 2014 Swap Agreements, the Company paid a weighted-average fixed rate of 2.02% on the notional amount and received payments from the counterparties based on the 30-day LIBOR rate. On October 24, 2018 and October 25, 2018, the Company entered into variable-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements with 12 counterparties to hedge a portion of the cash flows of the Company’s variable rate debt (the “2018 Swap Agreements”). The 2018 Swap Agreements have an aggregate notional amount of $550.0 million, a start date of May 16, 2019 (the maturity date of the 2014 Swap Agreements), and mature on November 30, 2022. Under the terms of the 2018 Swap Agreements, the Company pays a weighted-average fixed rate of 3.04% on the notional amount and receives payments from the counterparties based on the one-month LIBOR rate. The Company’s swap agreements have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, are recognized on its Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and are classified based on the instruments’ maturity dates. The Company estimates $16.1 million will be reclassified to interest expense over the next 12 months related to the 2018 Swap Agreements. The following table presents the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps as well as their classification on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the periods indicated : (dollars in thousands) DECEMBER 27, 2020 DECEMBER 29, 2019 CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET CLASSIFICATION Interest rate swaps - liability $ 14,855 $ 7,174 Accrued and other current liabilities Interest rate swaps - liability 15,640 16,835 Other long-term liabilities, net Total fair value of derivative instruments - liabilities (1) $ 30,495 $ 24,009 Accrued interest $ 1,237 $ 632 Accrued and other current liabilities ____________________ (1) See Note 19 - Fair Value Measurements for fair value discussion of the interest rate swaps. On May 4, 2020 , concurrent with entering into the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company de-designated its interest rate swap hedge relationship and modified its hedge documentation to more closely align with certain terms of the Amended Credit Agreement. On May 6, 2020, the Company re-designated the cash flow hedge relationship for the original $550.0 million notional amount, resulting in no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a result of the hedge activity. The following table summarizes the effects of the swap agreements on Net (loss) income for the periods indicated: FISCAL YEAR (dollars in thousands) 2020 2019 2018 Interest rate swap expense recognized in Interest expense, net $ (13,370) $ (2,436) $ (161) Income tax benefit recognized in (Benefit) provision for income taxes 3,447 631 41 Total effects of the interest rate swaps on Net (loss) income $ (9,923) $ (1,805) $ (120) The Company records its derivatives on its Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross balance basis. The Company’s interest rate swaps are subject to master netting arrangements. As of December 27, 2020, the Company did not have more than one derivative between the same counterparties and as such, there was no netting. By utilizing the interest rate swaps, the Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event that the counterparty fails to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. To mitigate this risk, the Company enters into derivative contracts with major financial institutions based upon credit ratings and other factors. The Company continually assesses the creditworthiness of its counterparties. As of December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019, all counterparties to the interest rate swaps had performed in accordance with their contractual obligations. The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if the repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company’s default on indebtedness. |

Derivative instruments The Company’s derivative instruments include interest rate swaps. Fair value measurements are based on the contractual terms of the derivatives and use observable market-based inputs. The interest rate swaps are valued using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative using observable inputs including interest rate curves and credit spreads. The Company also considers its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. As of December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019, the Company has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis - Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to property, fixtures and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, which are remeasured when carrying value exceeds fair value. Carrying value after impairment approximates fair value. The following table summarizes the Company’s assets measured at fair value by hierarchy level on a nonrecurring basis, for the periods indicated: 2020 2019 2018 (dollars in thousands) REMAINING CARRYING VALUE TOTAL IMPAIRMENT REMAINING CARRYING VALUE TOTAL IMPAIRMENT REMAINING CARRYING VALUE TOTAL IMPAIRMENT Assets held for sale (1) $ 1,934 $ 123 $ 2,049 $ 315 $ 8,590 $ 5,276 Operating lease right-of-use assets (2) 72,615 30,940 6,597 4,284 — — Property, fixtures and equipment (3) 26,311 41,077 3,915 4,535 6,464 21,523 Goodwill and other assets (4) 748 2,683 — — — — $ 101,608 $ 74,823 $ 12,561 $ 9,134 $ 15,054 $ 26,799 ________________ (1) Carrying values measured using Level 3 inputs to estimate fair value totaled $1.2 million during 2020. All other assets were valued using Level 2 inputs. Third-party market appraisals or executed sales contracts (Level 2) and discounted cash flow models (Level 3) were used to estimate fair value. (2) Carrying values measured using Level 2 inputs to estimate fair value totaled $0.2 million during 2019. All other assets were valued using Level 3 inputs. Third-party market appraisals (Level 2) and discounted cash flow models (Level 3) were used to estimate fair value. Refer to Note 5 - Impairments, Exit Costs and Disposals for a more detailed discussion of impairments. (3) Carrying values measured using Level 2 inputs to estimate fair value totaled $2.2 million, $2.3 million and $4.6 million for 2020 2019 and 2018, respectively. All other assets were valued using Level 3 inputs. Third-party market appraisals (Level 2) and discounted cash flow models (Level 3) were used to estimate the fair value. Refer to Note 5 - Impairments, Exit Costs and Disposals for a more detailed discussion of impairments. (4) Other assets generally measured using the quoted market value of comparable assets (Level 2). See Note 5 - Impairments, Exit Costs and Disposals for information regarding impairment charges resulting from the fair value measurement performed on a nonrecurring basis during 2020. Projected future cash flows, including discount rate and growth rate assumptions, are derived from current economic conditions, expectations of management and projected trends of current operating results. As a result, the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its long-lived assets held and used are unobservable inputs that fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In assessment of impairment for operating locations, the Company determined the fair values of individual operating locations using an income approach, which required discounting projected future cash flows. When determining the stream of projected future cash flows associated with an individual operating location, management made assumptions, including highest and best use and inputs from restaurant operations, where necessary, and about key variables including the following unobservable inputs: revenue growth rates, controllable and uncontrollable expenses, and asset residual values. In order to calculate the present value of those future cash flows, the Company discounted cash flow estimates at its weighted-average cost of capital applicable to the country in which the measured assets reside. The following table presents quantitative information related to certain unobservable inputs used in the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements of Operating lease right-of-use assets and Property, fixtures and equipment for the impairment losses incurred for the period indicated: FISCAL YEAR UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS 2020 Weighted-average cost of capital 10.4% to 11.3% Long-term growth rate 1.5% to 2.0% Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company’s non-derivative financial instruments as of December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019 consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and current and long-term debt. The fair values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts reported on its Consolidated Balance Sheets due to their short duration. Debt is carried at amortized cost; however, the Company estimates the fair value of debt for disclosure purposes.

Income Taxes | Income Taxes The following table presents the domestic and foreign components of (Loss) income before (benefit) provision for income taxes for the periods indicated: FISCAL YEAR (dollars in thousands) 2020 2019 2018 Domestic $ (206,941) $ 129,826 $ 109,965 Foreign (32,580) 11,864 (9,660) $ (239,521) $ 141,690 $ 100,305 (Benefit) provision for income taxes consisted of the following for the periods indicated: FISCAL YEAR (dollars in thousands) 2020 2019 2018 Current provision: Federal $ 2,606 $ 13,265 $ 11,089 State 2,301 9,696 6,763 Foreign 2,623 10,502 2,405 $ 7,530 $ 33,463 $ 20,257 Deferred (benefit) provision: Federal $ (66,498) $ (21,407) $ (28,772) State (12,527) (1,986) (1,335) Foreign (9,231) (2,497) 617 $ (88,256) $ (25,890) $ (29,490) (Benefit) provision for income taxes $ (80,726) $ 7,573 $ (9,233) Effective Income Tax Rate - The reconciliation of income taxes calculated at the United States federal tax statutory rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate is as follows for the periods indicated. Due to the pre-tax book loss for the year ended December 27, 2020, a positive percentage change for such year in the effective tax rate table reflects a favorable income tax benefit, whereas a negative percentage change in the effective tax rate table reflects an unfavorable income tax expense: FISCAL YEAR 2020 2019 2018 Income taxes at federal statutory rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % State and local income taxes, net of federal benefit 3.3 4.4 5.5 Employment-related credits, net 9.9 (24.7) (34.6) Foreign tax rate differential 1.1 3.2 (0.7) Net life insurance expense (benefit) 0.3 (0.7) 0.6 Enhanced charitable contributions deduction 0.1 (0.6) (1.3) Nondeductible expenses (1.4) 3.9 5.0 Net changes in deferred tax valuation allowances (0.6) (1.6) 3.9 Domestic manufacturing deduction — — (0.3) Cumulative effect of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act — — 0.2 Noncontrolling interests — (0.6) (0.9) Excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation arrangements — (0.3) (7.1) Other, net — 1.3 (0.5) Total 33.7 % 5.3 % (9.2) % On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). Accordingly, the applicable provisions of the CARES Act have been reflected in the Company’s tax provision for fiscal year 2020. The CARES Act, among other items, includes U.S. corporate tax provisions related to the deferment of employer social security payments, employee retention credits, modifications to interest deduction limitations and technical corrections on tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The net increase in the effective income tax rate in 2020 as compared to 2019 was primarily due to the benefit of the tax credits for FICA taxes on certain employees’ tips in 2020 and the 2020 pre-tax book loss. The net increase in the effective income tax rate in 2019 as compared to 2018 was primarily due to employment-related credits being a lower percentage of net income in 2019, excess tax benefits from equity-based compensation arrangements recorded in 2018 and an increase in the foreign tax rate differential in 2019. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in valuation allowances recorded against deferred income tax assets in 2019. The Company has a blended federal and state statutory rate of approximately 26%. The effective income tax rate for 2020 was higher than the blended federal and state statutory rate primarily due to the benefit of tax credits for FICA taxes on certain employees’ tips. The effective income tax rate for fiscal year 2019 was lower than the blended federal and state statutory rate primarily due to the benefit of tax credits for FICA taxes on certain employees’ tips. Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities - The income tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of deferred income tax assets and liabilities are as follows as of the periods indicated: (dollars in thousands) DECEMBER 27, 2020 DECEMBER 29, 2019 Deferred income tax assets: Operating lease liabilities $ 360,690 $ 378,518 Insurance reserves 13,695 13,722 Unearned revenue 44,039 22,230 Deferred compensation 32,779 27,222 Net operating loss carryforwards 19,285 9,876 Federal tax credit carryforwards 142,055 115,273 Partner deposits and accrued partner obligations 3,403 4,449 Other, net 24,838 13,706 Gross deferred income tax assets 640,784 584,996 Less: valuation allowance (18,509) (14,922) Deferred income tax assets, net of valuation allowance 622,275 570,074 Deferred income tax liabilities: Less: operating lease right-of-use asset basis differences (300,387) (326,166) Less: property, fixtures and equipment basis differences (54,725) (65,404) Less: intangible asset basis differences (113,280) (118,855) Deferred income tax assets, net $ 153,883 $ 59,649 The net change in deferred tax valuation allowance in 2020 was primarily attributable to net operating losses in certain foreign jurisdictions with full valuation allowances recorded and a full valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets recognized in the acquisition of the remaining equity interests of a foreign subsidiary during 2020 that are not more likely than not to be realized. These increases were partially offset by the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards in certain foreign jurisdictions with full valuation allowances recorded. Undistributed Earnings - As of December 27, 2020, the Company had aggregate accumulated foreign earnings of approximately $40.2 million. This amount consisted primarily of historical earnings from 2017 and prior that were previously taxed in the U.S. under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and post-2017 foreign earnings, which the Company may repatriate to the U.S. without additional material U.S. federal income taxes. These amounts are no longer considered indefinitely reinvested in the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. As of December 27, 2020, the Company maintained a deferred tax liability for state income taxes on historical earnings of $0.2 million. The Company has not recorded a deferred tax liability on the financial statement carrying amount over the tax basis of its investments in foreign subsidiaries because the Company continues to assert that it is indefinitely reinvested in its underlying investments in foreign subsidiaries. The determination of any unrecorded deferred tax liability on this amount is not practicable due to the uncertainty of how these investments would be recovered. Tax Carryforwards - The amount and expiration dates of tax loss carryforwards and credit carryforwards as of December 27, 2020 are as follows: (dollars in thousands) EXPIRATION DATE AMOUNT Federal tax credit carryforwards 2026 - 2040 $ 158,279 Foreign loss carryforwards (1) 2021 - Indefinite $ 73,082 Foreign tax credit carryforwards Indefinite $ 864 ________________ (1) The Company has a valuation allowance against the foreign loss carryforwards for which it has determined it is more likely than not that some portion or all may not be realized. As of December 27, 2020, the Company had $155.3 million in general business tax credit carryforwards, which have a 20-year carryforward period and are utilized on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company currently expects to utilize these tax credit carryforwards within a 10-year period. However, the Company’s ability to utilize these tax credits could be adversely impacted by, among other items, a future “ownership change” as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company anticipates generating additional business tax credits in the future years. The amount of business tax credits expected to be generated in 2021 is approximately $30 million to $40 million. Unrecognized Tax Benefits - As of December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $25.5 million and $27.2 million, respectively. Of the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued interest and penalties, $25.5 million and $27.0 million, respectively, if recognized, would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits for the periods indicated: FISCAL YEAR (dollars in thousands) 2020 2019 2018 Balance as of beginning of year $ 27,201 $ 25,190 $ 23,663 Additions for tax positions taken during a prior period 1,061 869 2,461 Reductions for tax positions taken during a prior period (324) (255) (826) Additions for tax positions taken during the current period 762 2,237 2,017 Settlements with taxing authorities (1,290) (44) (682) Lapses in the applicable statutes of limitations (1,857) (749) (1,390) Translation adjustments (29) (47) (53) Balance as of end of year $ 25,524 $ 27,201 $ 25,190 The Company had approximately $1.9 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019. The Company recognized immaterial interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the (Benefit) provision for income taxes, for all periods presented. In many cases, the Company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by relevant taxable authorities. Based on the outcome of these examinations, or a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations for specific jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the related recorded unrecognized tax benefits for tax positions taken on previously filed tax returns will change by approximately $1.0 million to $2.0 million within the next twelve months. Open Tax Years - Following is a summary of the open audit years by jurisdiction as of December 27, 2020: OPEN AUDIT YEARS United States - federal 2007 - 2019 United States - state 2001 - 2019 Foreign 2013 - 2019 |

Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Lease Guarantees - The Company assigned its interest, and is contingently liable, under certain real estate leases. These leases have varying terms, the latest of which expires in 2032. As of December 27, 2020, the undiscounted payments the Company could be required to make in the event of non-payment by the primary lessees was approximately $26.7 million. The present value of these potential payments discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of December 27, 2020 was approximately $20.7 million. In the event of default, the indemnity clauses in the Company’s purchase and sale agreements govern its ability to pursue and recover damages incurred. During 2020, the Company recorded $4.2 million of additional contingent lease liability in response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of December 27, 2020, the Company’s recorded contingent lease liability was $9.6 million. See Note 3 - COVID-19 Charges for details regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s financial results. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company received notices of default pertaining to three leases of divested restaurant properties in circumstances where the Company is contingently liable for the unpaid rent of the current operators. The Company is in active discussions with the respective landlords and believes its recorded reserve is reasonable. Purchase Obligations - Purchase obligations were $230.6 million and $312.0 million as of December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019, respectively. These purchase obligations are primarily due within five years, however, commitments with various vendors extend through January 2028. Outstanding commitments consist primarily of food and beverage products related to normal business operations, technology, advertising and restaurant-level service contracts. In 2020, the Company purchased approximately 97% of its U.S. beef raw materials from four beef suppliers that represent more than 80% of the total beef marketplace in the U.S. Litigation and Other Matters - In relation to various legal matters, the Company had $4.6 million and $3.0 million of liability recorded as of December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019, respectively. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $2.3 million, $1.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in Other restaurant operating expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for certain legal settlements. The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and liabilities, such as liquor liability, slip and fall cases, wage-and-hour and other employment-related litigation, which arise in the ordinary course of business and are generally covered by insurance if they exceed specified retention or deductible amounts. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to those actions will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations and cash flows. Insurance - As of December 27, 2020, the future undiscounted payments the Company expects for workers’ compensation, general liability and health insurance claims are: (dollars in thousands) 2021 $ 20,669 2022 10,537 2023 6,354 2024 3,440 2025 1,962 Thereafter 10,255 $ 53,217 The following is a reconciliation of the expected aggregate undiscounted reserves to the discounted reserves for insurance claims recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the periods indicated: (dollars in thousands) DECEMBER 27, 2020 DECEMBER 29, 2019 Undiscounted reserves $ 53,217 $ 56,953 Discount (1) (441) (2,635) Discounted reserves $ 52,776 $ 54,318 Discounted reserves recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets: Accrued and other current liabilities $ 20,648 $ 20,500 Other long-term liabilities, net 32,128 33,818 $ 52,776 $ 54,318 ____________________ (1) Discount rates of 0.26% and 1.61% were used for December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019, respectively. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting The Company considers its restaurant concepts and international markets as operating segments, which reflects how the Company manages its business, reviews operating performance and allocates resources. Resources are allocated and performance is assessed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, whom the Company has determined to be its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The Company aggregates its operating segments into two reportable segments, U.S. and international. The U.S. segment includes all restaurants operating in the U.S. while restaurants operating outside the U.S. are included in the international segment. The following is a summary of reporting segments as of December 27, 2020: REPORTABLE SEGMENT (1) CONCEPT GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION U.S. Outback Steakhouse United States of America Carrabba’s Italian Grill Bonefish Grill Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar International Outback Steakhouse Brazil, Hong Kong/China Carrabba’s Italian Grill (Abbraccio) Brazil _________________ (1) Includes franchise locations. Segment accounting policies are the same as those described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies . Revenues for all segments include only transactions with customers and exclude intersegment revenues. Excluded from (Loss) income from operations for U.S. and international are certain legal and corporate costs not directly related to the performance of the segments, most stock-based compensation expenses and certain bonus expenses. During 2020, the Company recorded $32.4 million of pre-tax charges as a part of transformational initiatives implemented in connection with its previously announced review of strategic alternatives. These costs were primarily recorded within General and administrative expense and Provision for impaired assets and restaurant closings and were not allocated to the Company’s segments since the Company’s CODM does not consider the impact of transformational initiatives when assessing segment performance.

Summary of Significant Accoun_2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 27, 2020 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of presentation | Basis of Presentation - The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Bloomin’ Brands and its subsidiaries. To ensure timely reporting, the Company consolidates the results of its Brazil operations on a one month calendar lag. There were no intervening events that would materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of and for the year ended December 27, 2020. |
Principles of consolidation | Principles of Consolidation - All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company consolidates variable interest entities where it has been determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of those entities’ operations. The Company is a franchisor of 317 restaurants as of December 27, 2020, but does not possess any ownership interests in its franchisees and does not provide material direct financial support to its franchisees. These franchise relationships are not deemed variable interest entities and are not consolidated. |
Fiscal year | Fiscal Year - The Company utilizes a 52-53 week year ending on the last Sunday in December. In a 52 week fiscal year, each quarterly period is comprised of 13 weeks. The additional week in a 53 week fiscal year is added to the fourth quarter. Fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018 consisted of 52 weeks. |
Use of estimates | Use of Estimates - The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the |
Cash and cash equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash equivalents consist of investments that are readily convertible to cash with an original maturity date of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents include $37.1 million and $44.8 million, as of December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019, respectively, for amounts in transit from credit card companies since settlement is reasonably assured. |
Concentration of credit risk | Concentrations of Credit and Counterparty Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk and credit losses are through credit card receivables and trade accounts receivable consisting primarily of amounts due for gift card, vendor, franchise and other receivables. Gift card, vendor and other receivables consist primarily of amounts due from gift card resellers and vendor rebates. The Company considers the concentration of credit risk for gift card, vendor and other receivables to be minimal due to the payment histories and general financial condition of its gift card resellers and vendors. Amounts due from franchisees consist of initial franchise fees, royalty income and advertising fees. See Note 8 - Other Current Assets, Net for disclosure of trade receivables by category as of December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019. |
Concentration of counterparty risk | Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of counterparty risk are cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and derivatives. The Company attempts to limit its counterparty risk by investing in certificates of deposit, money market funds, noninterest-bearing accounts and other highly rated investments. Whenever possible, the Company selects investment grade counterparties and rated money market funds in order to mitigate its counterparty risk. At times, cash balances may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. See Note 17 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for a discussion of the Company’s use of derivative instruments and management of credit risk inherent in derivative instruments. |
Allowance for expected credit losses | Allowance for Expected Credit Losses - The Company evaluates the collectability of credit card and trade receivables based on historical loss experience by risk pool and records periodic adjustments for factors such as deterioration of economic conditions, specific customer circumstances and changes in the aging of accounts receivable balances. Losses are charged off in the period in which they are determined to be uncollectible. See Note 20 - Allowance for Expected Credit Losses for a discussion of the Company’s allowance for expected credit losses. The Company assigned its interest, and is contingently liable, under certain real estate leases, primarily related to divested restaurant properties. Contingent lease liabilities related to these guarantees are calculated based on management’s estimate of exposure to losses which includes historical analysis of credit losses, including known instances of default, and existing economic conditions. See Note 22 - Commitments and Contingencies for a discussion of the Company’s contingent lease liabilities. |
Fair value | Fair Value - Fair value is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, or the exit price, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value is categorized into one of the following three levels based on the lowest level of significant input: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted market 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 |
Inventories | Inventories - Inventories consist of food and beverages and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. |
Restricted cash | Restricted Cash - From time to time, the Company may have short-term restricted cash balances consisting of amounts pledged for settlement of deferred compensation plan obligations. |
Property, fixtures and equipment | Property, Fixtures and Equipment - Property, fixtures and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. Estimated useful lives by major asset category are generally as follows: Buildings (1) 5 to 30 years Furniture and fixtures 5 to 7 years Equipment 2 to 7 years Computer equipment and software 3 to 7 years ____________________ (1) Includes improvements to leased properties which are depreciated over the shorter of their useful life or the reasonably certain lease term, including renewal periods that are reasonably certain. Repair and maintenance costs that maintain the appearance and functionality of the restaurant, but do not extend the useful life of any restaurant asset are expensed as incurred. The Company suspends depreciation and amortization for assets held for sale. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or disposed of are removed from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, and any resulting gain or loss is generally recognized in Other restaurant operating expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. The Company capitalizes direct and indirect internal costs associated with the acquisition, development, design and construction of Company-owned restaurant locations as these costs have a future benefit to the Company. Upon restaurant opening, these costs are depreciated and charged to depreciation and amortization expense. Internal costs of $2.7 million, $6.4 million and $6.9 million were capitalized during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For 2020 and 2019, computer equipment and software costs of $1.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively, were capitalized. As of December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019, there was $8.8 million and $25.7 million, respectively, of unamortized computer equipment and software included in Property, fixtures and equipment, net on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
Goodwill and intangible assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets - 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. The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names and are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, as of the first day of the second fiscal quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company 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 the Company determines 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, with any excess of carrying value over fair value deemed to be an indicator of impairment. Definite-lived intangible assets, which consist primarily of trademarks and reacquired franchise rights, are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition, amortized over their estimated useful lives and tested for impairment, using the relief from royalty method, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. |
Derivatives | Derivatives - The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. If the derivative qualifies for hedge accounting treatment, any gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recognized in equity as a change to Accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements, foreign currency exchange rate movements, changes in energy prices and other identified risks. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings. The Company has elected not to offset derivative positions in the balance sheet with the same counterparty under the same agreement. |
Deferred financing fees | Deferred Financing Fees - For its revolving credit facility, the Company records deferred financing fees related to the issuance of debt obligations in Other assets, net on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. For fees associated with all other debt obligations, the Company records deferred financing fees as a reduction of Long-term debt, net. The Company amortizes deferred financing fees to interest expense over the term of the respective financing arrangement, primarily using the effective interest method. The Company amortized deferred financing fees of $3.9 million, $2.5 million and $2.6 million to interest expense for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |
Liquor licenses | Liquor Licenses - The fees from obtaining non-transferable liquor licenses directly issued by local government agencies for nominal fees are expensed as incurred. 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 Other assets, net on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
Insurance reserves | Insurance Reserves - The Company carries insurance programs with specific retention levels or high per-claim deductibles for a significant portion of expected losses under its workers’ compensation, general or liquor liability, health, property and management liability insurance programs. The Company records a liability for all unresolved claims and for an estimate of incurred but not reported claims at the anticipated cost that falls below its specified retention levels or per-claim deductible amounts. In establishing reserves, the Company considers actuarial assumptions and judgments regarding economic conditions, and the frequency and severity of claims. Reserves recorded for workers’ compensation and general liability claims are discounted using the average of the one-year and five-year risk-free rate of monetary assets that have comparable maturities. |
Share repurchase | Share Repurchase - Shares repurchased are retired. The par value of the repurchased shares is deducted from common stock and the excess of the purchase price over the par value of the shares is recorded to Accumulated deficit. |
Revenue recognition | Revenue Recognition - The Company records food and beverage revenues, net of discounts and taxes, upon delivery to the customer. Franchise-related revenues are included in Franchise and other revenues in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Royalties, which are a percentage of net sales of the franchisee, are recognized as revenue in the period which the sales are reported to have occurred provided collectability is reasonably assured. Proceeds from the sale of gift cards, which do not have expiration dates, are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue upon redemption by the customer. The Company applies the portfolio approach practical expedient to account for gift card contracts and performance obligations. Gift card breakage, the amount of gift cards which will not be redeemed, is recognized using estimates based on historical redemption patterns. If actual redemptions vary from assumptions used to estimate breakage, gift card breakage income may differ from the amount recorded. The Company periodically updates its estimates used for breakage. Breakage revenue is recorded as a component of Restaurant sales in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Approximately 84% of deferred gift card revenue is expected to be recognized within 12 months of inception. Gift card sales that are accompanied by a bonus gift card to be used by the customer at a future visit result in a separate deferral of a portion of the original gift card sale. Revenue is recorded when the bonus card is redeemed or expires at the estimated fair market value of the bonus card. Gift card sales commissions paid to third-party providers are capitalized and subsequently amortized to Other restaurant operating expense based on historical gift card redemption patterns. See Note 4 - Revenue Recognition for rollforwards of deferred gift card sales commissions and unearned gift card revenue. Advertising fees charged to franchisees are recognized in Franchise and other revenues in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income provided collectability is reasonably assured. Initial franchise and renewal fees are recognized over the term of the franchise agreement and renewal period, respectively. The weighted average remaining term of franchise agreements and renewal periods was approximately 13 years as of December 27, 2020. The Company maintains a customer loyalty program, Dine Rewards, in the U.S., where customers have the ability to earn a reward after a number of qualified visits. The Company has developed an estimated value of the partial reward earned from each qualified visit, which is recorded as deferred revenue. Each reward has a maximum value and must be redeemed within three months of earning such reward. The revenue associated with the fair value of the qualified visit is recognized upon the earlier of redemption or expiration of the reward. The Company applies the practical expedient to exclude disclosures regarding loyalty program remaining performance obligations, which have original expected durations of less than one year. The Company collects and remits sales, food and beverage, alcoholic beverage and hospitality taxes on transactions with customers and reports revenue net of taxes in its Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. |
Leases | Leases - The Company’s determination of whether an arrangement contains a lease is based on an evaluation of whether the arrangement conveys the right to use and control specific property or equipment. The Company leases restaurant and office facilities and certain equipment under operating leases primarily having initial terms between one five The Company accounts for fixed lease and non-lease components of a restaurant facility lease as a single lease component. Additionally, for certain equipment leases, the Company applies a portfolio approach to account for the lease assets and liabilities. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheets, and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term within Other restaurant operating expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Rent expense for the Company’s operating leases, which generally have escalating rentals over the term of the lease and may include rent holidays, is recorded on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term and those renewal periods that are reasonably certain. Rent expense is recorded in Other restaurant operating in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Payments received from landlords as incentives for leasehold improvements are recorded as a reduction of the right-of-use asset and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease as a reduction of rent expense. In April 2020, the FASB issued a question and answer document focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of COVID-19 (the “Lease Modification Q&A”). The Lease Modification Q&A provides entities with the option to elect to account for lease concessions as though the enforceable rights and obligations existed in the original lease when the total cash flows resulting from the modified lease are substantially similar to the cash flows in the original lease. The Company elected this practical expedient for COVID-19-related rent concessions, primarily rent deferrals or rent abatements, and has elected not to remeasure the related lease liability and right-of-use asset for those leases. Rent deferrals are accrued with no impact to straight-line rent expense. Rent abatements are recognized as a reduction of variable rent expense in the month they occur. This election will continue while these concessions are in effect. |
Pre-opening expenses | Pre-Opening Expenses - Non-capital expenditures associated with opening new restaurants are expensed as incurred and are included in Other restaurant operating expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. |
Consideration received from vendors | Consideration Received from Vendors - The Company receives consideration for a variety of vendor-sponsored programs, such as volume rebates, promotions and advertising allowances. Advertising allowances are intended to offset the Company’s costs of promoting and selling menu items in its restaurants. Vendor consideration is recorded as a reduction of Food and beverage costs or Other restaurant operating expense when recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. |
Impairment of long-lived assets and costs associated with exit activities | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Costs Associated with Exit Activities - Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation is performed at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows independent of other assets. For long-lived assets deployed at its restaurants, the Company reviews for impairment at the individual restaurant level. When evaluating for impairment, the total future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are compared to the carrying amount. If the total future undiscounted cash flows of the asset are less than its carrying amount, recoverability is measured by comparing the fair value of the assets to the carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized in earnings when the asset’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair value is generally estimated using a discounted cash flow model. Restaurant closure costs, including lease termination fees, are expensed as incurred. When the Company ceases using the property rights under a non-cancelable operating lease, it records a liability for the net present value of any remaining non-rent lease-related obligations as a result of lease termination, less the estimated subtenant cost recovery that can reasonably be obtained for the property. Any subsequent adjustment to that liability as a result of lease termination or changes in estimates of cost recovery is recorded in the period incurred. The associated expense is recorded in Provision for impaired assets and restaurant closings in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Restaurant sites and certain other assets to be sold are included in assets held for sale when certain criteria are met, including the requirement that the likelihood of selling the assets within one year is probable. |
Advertising costs | Advertising Costs - Advertising production costs are expensed in the period when the advertising first occurs. All other advertising costs are expensed in the period in which the costs are incurred. Advertising expense of $67.3 million, $146.1 million and $147.8 million for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, was recorded in Other restaurant operating expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. |
Legal costs | Legal Costs - Settlement costs are accrued when they are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. Legal fees are recognized as incurred and are reported in General and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. |
Research and development expenses | Research and Development Expenses (“R&D”) - R&D is expensed as incurred in General and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. R&D primarily consists of payroll and benefit costs. R&D was $2.4 million, $3.4 million and $3.8 million for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |
Partner compensation | Partner Compensation - In addition to base salary, Area Operating Partners, Restaurant Managing Partners and Chef Partners generally receive performance-based bonuses for providing management and supervisory services to their restaurants, certain of which may be based on a percentage of their restaurants’ monthly operating results or cash flows and/or total controllable income (“Monthly Payments”). Certain Restaurant Managing Partners and Chef Partners in the U.S. (“U.S. Partners”) may also participate in deferred compensation programs and other performance-based compensation programs. The Company may invest in corporate-owned life insurance policies, which are held within an irrevocable grantor or “rabbi” trust account for settlement of certain of the Company’s obligations under the deferred compensation plans. Many of the Company’s international Restaurant Managing Partners are given the option to purchase participation interests in the cash distributions of the restaurants they manage. The amount, terms and availability vary by country. The Company estimates future bonuses and deferred compensation obligations to U.S. Partners and Area Operating Partners, using current and historical information on restaurant performance and records the long-term portion of partner obligations in Other long-term liabilities, net on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. Monthly Payments and deferred compensation expenses for U.S. Partners are included in Labor and other related expenses and Monthly Payments and bonus expense for Area Operating Partners are included in General and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. |
Stock-based compensation | Stock-based Compensation - Stock-based compensation awards are measured at fair value at the date of grant and expensed over their vesting or service periods. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized only for those awards expected to vest. The expense, net of forfeitures, is recognized using the straight-line method. Forfeitures of share-based compensation awards are recognized as they occur. |
Basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share | Basic and Diluted (Loss) Earnings per Share - The Company computes basic earnings per share based on the weighted average number of common shares that were outstanding during the period. Except where the result would be antidilutive, diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of restricted stock units, performance-based share units and stock options, and the Company’s convertible senior notes and related warrants, using the treasury stock method. Performance-based share units are considered dilutive when the related performance criterion has been met. As of December 27, 2020, the Company expected to settle the principal amount of its outstanding convertible senior notes in cash and any excess in shares. As a result, only the amounts in excess of the principal amount, if applicable, were considered in diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock method. On December 28, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity,” (“ASU No. 2020-06”) and transitioned to the “if-converted” method for calculating diluted earnings per share required under the new standard beginning in 2021. The “if-converted” method requires inclusion in diluted earnings per share the full number of common shares issuable upon conversion, unless settlement is required to be paid in cash upon conversion. See Recently Adopted Financial Accounting Standards below for additional details regarding the impact of adopting ASU No. 2020-06. |
Foreign currency translation and transactions | Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions - For non-U.S. operations, the functional currency is the local currency. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date with the translation adjustments recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting period. Foreign currency exchange transaction losses are recorded in General and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. |
Income taxes | Income Taxes - Deferred income 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 basis. Deferred income 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 income tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of the rate change. A valuation allowance may reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company records a tax benefit for an uncertain tax position using the highest cumulative tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company adjusts its liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the period in which it determines the issue is effectively settled, the statute of limitations expires or when more information becomes available. Liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits, including penalties and interest, are recorded in Accrued and other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities, net on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
Recently adopted financial accounting standards | Recently Adopted Financial Accounting Standards - On December 28, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2020-06, which removes the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature or convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. ASU No. 2020-06 also requires the application of the “if-converted” method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method is no longer available. The Company adopted ASU No. 2020-06 using the modified retrospective approach which resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment that increased (decreased) the following Consolidated Balance Sheet accounts during the first quarter of 2021: ADJUSTMENT CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET CLASSIFICATION AMOUNT Deferred tax impact of cumulative-effect adjustment Deferred income tax assets, net $ 14.9 Debt discount reclassification Long-term debt, net $ 59.9 Equity issuance costs reclassification Long-term debt, net $ (2.1) Debt discount amortization reclassification, net of tax Accumulated deficit $ 4.4 Net impact of cumulative-effect adjustment Additional paid-in capital $ (47.3) After adopting ASU No. 2020-06, the Company’s convertible senior notes will be reflected entirely as a liability since the embedded conversion feature is no longer separately presented within stockholders’ equity. During 2020, the Company recognized debt discount amortization of $6.3 million within Interest expense, net related to its convertible senior notes. In February 2021, the Company made an irrevocable election under the indenture to require the principal portion of its convertible senior notes to be settled in cash and any excess in shares. Following the irrevocable notice, only the amounts settled in excess of the principal will be considered in diluted earnings per share under the “if-converted” method. In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” (“ASU No. 2020-04”). The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU No. 2020-04 was effective beginning March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to hedge effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows, which enables the Company to continue to apply hedge accounting to hedging relationships impacted by reference rate reform. Application of these expedients allows for presentation of derivatives consistent with the Company’s historical presentation. The application of expedients allowable under ASU No. 2020-04 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections, as applicable. On December 30, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” (“ASU No. 2016-13”), which requires measurement and recognition of losses for financial instruments under the current expected credit loss model versus incurred losses under previous guidance. The Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 and its related amendments (“the new credit loss standard”) resulted in a cumulative-effect debit adjustment to the beginning balance of Accumulated deficit of $4.3 million, including $4.8 million of contingent lease liabilities related to lease guarantees and $1.0 million of incremental reserve for expected credit losses, net of a $1.5 million increase in deferred tax assets. Measurement processes and related controls have been implemented by the Company to ensure compliance with the new credit loss standard. See Note 20 - Allowance for Expected Credit Losses for additional details regarding the Company’s allowance for expected credit losses. On December 31, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02: Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU No. 2016-02”), ASU No. 2018-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transitioning to Topic 842,” (“ASU No. 2018-01”) and ASU No. 2018-11: Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements (“ASU No. 2018-11”). ASU No. 2016-02 requires the lease rights and obligations arising from lease contracts, including existing and new arrangements, to be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. ASU No. 2018-01 allows an entity to elect an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate land easements that exist or expired before the Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2016-02. ASU No. 2018-11 allows for an additional transition method, which permits use of the effective date of adoption as the date of initial application of ASU No. 2016-02 without restating comparative period financial statements and provides entities with a practical expedient that allows entities to elect not to separate lease and non-lease components when certain conditions are met. |
