What Changed
Risk factors · Mar 5, 2025 → Feb 25, 202627 added · 34 removed between the two most recent 10-Ks. The risks a company starts — or stops — disclosing are often the story.
Newly disclosed
- For example, we are subject to the CCPA and other state privacy laws which require various disclosures, processes and protections to be implemented, and provide for a variety of consumer data privacy rights that require compliance investment and may limit our ability to use certain data or technologies.
- The use, including any inappropriate or otherwise harmful use, of social media vehicles by our franchisees and their employees, guests, our employees or others in the general public could increase our costs, lead to litigation or result in negative publicity that could damage our reputation.
- Our and our franchisees’ restaurants bear risks associated with the timeliness of deliveries by suppliers and distributors as well as the solvency, reputation, labor relationships, freight rates, prices of raw materials and health and safety standards of each supplier and distributor.
- A failure to develop and implement innovative marketing and guest relationship initiatives, ineffective or improper use of social media or other marketing initiatives and increased advertising and marketing costs could adversely affect our business results.
- If our competitors increase their spending on advertising and promotions, if our advertising, media or marketing expenses increase, or if our advertising and promotions become less effective than those of our competitors, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business results.
- As part of our marketing efforts, we rely on search engine marketing and social media platforms to attract and retain guests. 21 These efforts may not be successful, resulting in expenses incurred without the benefit of higher revenues or increased employee engagement.
- In addition, a variety of risks are associated with the use of social media, including the improper disclosure of proprietary information, posting of negative comments about our brands or experiences in our or our franchisees’ restaurants, exposure of personal information, fraud, and use of outdated information.
- Disruptions in our relationships with suppliers and distributors may reduce the payments we receive from our franchisees or our pancake and waffle dry mix distributors or the profits generated by our company-owned restaurants.
- Additionally, our efforts to reduce cost depend, in part, upon our ability to successfully refranchise acquired restaurants, which in turn, depend on our ability to select qualified and capable franchisees.
- Other significant risks associated with our suppliers and distributors include improper handling of food and beverage products and/or the adulteration or contamination of such food and beverage products.
- A failure to sufficiently innovate, develop guest relationship initiatives, or maintain adequate and effective advertising could inhibit our ability to maintain brand relevance and drive increased sales.
- As of December 28, 2025, our total stockholders' deficit was $273.9 million.
No longer disclosed
- Although such laws may restrict a franchisor in the termination and/or non-renewal of a franchise agreement by, for example, requiring “good 11 cause” to exist as a basis for the termination and/or non-renewal, advance notice to the franchisee of the termination or non-renewal, an opportunity to cure a default and/or a repurchase of inventory or other compensation upon termination, these provisions have not historically had a significant effect on our business.
- In terms of average sales over the five-year time period covering 2019 to 2024, excluding the year 2020, 25% of our annual system-wide sales (retail sales reported to us by our franchisees plus sales at our company-operated restaurants) occurred in each of the first, third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, with 26% occurring in the second quarter (Note: does not add to 100% due to rounding).
- For example, we are subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act, which require various processes and protections to be implemented.
- As of December 31, 2024, we had 992 employees, of whom 396 were employees of our company restaurants and 596 were corporate employees at our restaurant support centers or in the field.
- Additionally, the fixed-rate 2023 Class A-2 and 2019 Class A-2-II senior notes have scheduled quarterly principal amortization payments of $1.25 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
- It is anticipated that the 2023 Class A-2 Notes will be repaid or refinanced prior to June 2029 and the Class A-2-II Notes will be repaid or refinanced prior to June 2026.
- During the seven-year term following issuance, the outstanding fixed-rate 2019 Class A-2-II senior notes will accrue interest at a rate of 4.723% per year.
- During the six-year term following issuance, the outstanding fixed-rate 2023 Class A-2 senior notes will accrue interest at a rate of 7.824% per year.
- The 2020 time period was excluded in the five-year average above due to distortions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in that year.
- In November 2007, we completed the acquisition of Applebee’s.
- Significant additional government-imposed increases in minimum wages, paid leaves of absence, mandated health benefits, changes to the tip credit or increased tax reporting and tax payment requirements with respect to employees who receive gratuities could be detrimental to the economic viability of company-operated restaurants and our franchisees' restaurants.
- In addition to the United States Food and Drug Administration’s menu labeling requirements for restaurants requiring that chain restaurants include calorie information on their menus or make other nutritional information available, a number of other jurisdictions around the United States have adopted regulations related to disclosure of other information, such as sodium content, and imposing requirements for children's menus.
