Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Luby’s, Inc. (the “Company”, "we", "our", "us", or “Luby’s”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements that are prepared for our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter ~~and three quarters~~ ended ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending August ~~28, 2019.~~26, 2020.

The consolidated balance sheet dated August ~~29, 2018,~~28, 2019, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”), has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. However, this Form 10-Q does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited, year-end financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August ~~29, 2018.~~28, 2019.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last Wednesday in August. Accordingly, each fiscal year normally consists of 13 four-week periods, or accounting periods, accounting for 364 days in the aggregate. However, every fifth or sixth year, we have a fiscal year that consists of 53 weeks, accounting for 371 days in the aggregate. The first fiscal quarter consists of four four-week periods, or 16 weeks, and the remaining three quarters typically include three four-week periods, or 12 weeks, in length. The fourth fiscal quarter includes 13 weeks in certain fiscal years to adjust for our standard 52 week, or 364 day, fiscal year compared to the 365 day calendar year.

Reportable Segments

Each restaurant is an operating segment because operating results and cash flow can be determined for each restaurant. We aggregate our operating segments into reportable segments by restaurant brand due to the nature of the products and services, the production processes, the customers, the methods used to distribute the products and services, the similarity of store level profit margins and the nature of the regulatory environment are alike. The Company has five reportable segments: Luby’s cafeterias, Fuddruckers restaurants, Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant, Fuddruckers franchise operations, and Culinary Contract Services (“CCS”).

Prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 our internal organization and reporting structure supported three reportable segments; Company-owned restaurants, Franchise operations and Culinary Contract Services. The Company-owned restaurants consisted of the three brands discussed above, which were aggregated into one reportable segment. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 we re-evaluated and disaggregated the Company-owned restaurants into three reportable segments based on brand name. As such, as of the fourth quarter 2019, our five reportable segments are Luby’s cafeterias, Fuddruckers restaurants, Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants, Fuddruckers franchise operations and Culinary Contract Services. Management believes this change better reflects the priorities and decision-making analysis around the allocation of our resources and better aligns to the economic characteristics within similar restaurant brands. We began reporting on the new structure in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 as reflected in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The segment data for the comparable periods of fiscal 2018 has been recast to conform to the current period presentation. Recasting this historical information did not have an impact on the consolidated financial performance of Luby’s Inc. for any of the periods presented.

Other Charges

Other charges includes those expenses that we consider related to our restructuring efforts or are not part of our recurring operations. These expenses were included in our Selling, general, and administrative cost expense line in previously reported quarters of fiscal 2019. See Note 6 to these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

~~We transitioned to~~On August 29, 2019, the ~~Financial~~first day of fiscal 2020, (the "Effective Date") we adopted Accounting Standards ~~Board~~Update (“~~FASB”~~ASU”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) from ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and ASC Topic 953-605, Franchisors - Revenue Recognition (together, the “Previous Standards”) on August 30, 2018. Our transition to ASC 606 represents a change in accounting principle. ASC 606 eliminates industry-specific guidance and provides a single model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of ASC 606 is that a reporting entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the reporting entity expects to be entitled for the exchange of those goods or services.

We adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts that were not completed at August 29, 2018. Due to the short term nature of a significant portion of our contracts with customers, we have elected to apply the practical expedients under ASC 606 to: (1) not adjust the consideration for the effects of a significant financing component, (2) recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as expense when incurred and (3) not disclose the value of our unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.

The adoption of ASC 606 did not have an impact on the recognition of revenues from our primary source of revenue from our Company owned restaurants (except for recognition of breakage and discounts on gift cards, as discussed below), revenues from our culinary contract services, vending revenue or ongoing franchise royalty fees, which are based on a percentage of franchisee sales. The adoption did impact the recognition of initial franchise fees and area development fees and gift card breakage.

The adoption of ASC 606 requires us to recognize initial and renewal franchise and development fees on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreement, which is usually 20 years. Historically, we have recognized revenue from initial franchise and development fees upon the opening of a franchised restaurant when we have completed all our material obligations and initial services.

Additionally, ASC 606 requires gift card breakage to be recognized as revenue in proportion to the pattern of gift card redemptions exercised by our customers. Historically, we recorded breakage income within other (expense) income (and not within revenue) when it was deemed remote that the unused gift card balance will be redeemed.

Upon adoption of ASC 606 we changed our reporting of marketing and advertising fund (“MAF”) contributions from franchisees and the related marketing and advertising expenditures. Under the Previous Standards, we did not reflect MAF contributions from franchisees and MAF expenditures in our statements of operations. Although the gross amounts of our revenues and expenses are impacted by the recognition of franchisee MAF fund contributions and related expenditures of MAF funds we manage, increases to gross revenues and expenses did not result in a material net impact to our statement of operations.

Our consolidated financial statements reflect the application of ASC 606 beginning in fiscal year 2019, while our consolidated financial statements for prior periods were prepared under the guidance of the Previous Standards. The $2.5 million cumulative effect of our adoption of ASC 606 is reflected as an increase to our August 30, 2018 shareholders’ equity with a corresponding decrease to accrued expenses and other liabilities and was comprised of (1) a reduction to accrued expense and other liabilities of

$3.1 million to adjust the unused gift card liability balance as if the gift card breakage guidance had been applied prior to August 30, 2018 and (2) an increase to accrued expense and other liabilities of $0.6 million to adjust the unearned franchise fees for the fees received through the end of fiscal year 2018 that would have been deferred and recognized over the term of the franchise agreement if the new guidance had been applied prior to August 30, 2018.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update provides clarification regarding how certain cash receipts and disbursements are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. We adopted ASU 2016-15 on August 30, 2018 using the retrospective method of adoption. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash. This update addresses the diversity in practice on how to classify and present changes in restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The update requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in addition to changes in cash and cash equivalents. Entities are also required to disclose information about the nature of the restrictions and amounts described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. Also, when cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one line on the balance sheet, an entity must reconcile these amounts to the total shown on the statement of cash flows. We adopted ASU 2016-18 effective August 30, 2018 using the retrospective method of adoption. Our adoption of ASU 2016-18 represents a change in accounting principle. Our consolidated statement of cash flow for the three quarters ended June 6, 2018 has been revised to reflect the application of ASU 2016-18. See Note 2 for the reconciliation and disclosures regarding the restrictions required by this update. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

~~New Accounting Pronouncements - "to be Adopted"~~

~~In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU~~ 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)~~. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11, 2018-20~~, along with related clarifications and ~~2019-01, which were targeted~~ improvements ~~to ASU 2016-02 (collectively, with ASU 2016-02, “ASC~~(“ASC 842”) ~~and provided entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new lease standard.~~. ASC 842 requires ~~a lessee~~lessees to recognize, on their consolidated balance sheet, a liability for lease obligations, which represents the discounted obligation to make future lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use ~~asset on~~asset. The guidance requires lessors to classify leases as sales-type, direct

financing or operating. The pronouncement also requires disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements that is intended to give financial statement users the ~~balance sheet, as well as provide additional disclosures about~~ability to assess the amount, timing, and potential uncertainty of cash flows ~~arising from~~related to leases. ASC 842 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. ASC 842 may be adopted using the modified retrospective method, which requires application to all comparative periods presented (the “comparative method”) or alternatively, as of the effective date of initial application without restating comparative period financial statements (the “effective date method”). We will adopt ASC 842 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 using the effective date method. The ASC 842 also provides several practical expedients and policies that companies may elect under either transition method.

~~We are implementing~~have implemented a new lease tracking and accounting system in connection with the adoption of ASC 842. ~~Based on a preliminary assessment,~~

We elected the optional transition method to apply ASC 842 as of the effective date and therefore, we ~~expect that most of our operating lease commitments will be subject~~have not applied the standard to the ~~new standard and we will record operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption, resulting in a significant increase in the assets and liabilities~~comparative periods presented on our consolidated ~~balance sheet.~~financial statements.

We did not elect the practical expedient that would have permitted us to use hindsight when determining the lease term, including option periods, and impairment of ~~adoption.~~ operating lease assets.

We have made an accounting policy election to account for lease components and nonlease components as a single lease component for all underlying classes of assets where (1) the lease component is predominant, (2) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease and (3) the timing and pattern of the lease component and nonlease component are the same . We have also ~~expect to elect~~elected the short-term lease recognition exemption ~~which provides the option~~for all of our leases that allows us to not recognize right-of-use assets and related liabilities for leases with ~~terms~~an initial term of 12 months or ~~less. We~~less and that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that we are ~~continuing our assessment~~reasonably certain to exercise. Our transition to ASC 842 represents a change in accounting principle.

Upon adoption of ASC 842, we recorded operating lease liabilities of approximately $32.5 million based on the present value of the ~~other practical expedients and policy elections available under ASC 842. We are continuing our assessment~~remaining lease payments using discount rates as of the effective date. The current portion of the operating lease liabilities recorded was approximately $8.1 million. In addition, we recorded operating lease right-of-use assets of approximately $27.2 million, calculated as the initial amount of the operating lease liability, adjusted for amounts reclassified from other lease related asset and liability accounts (such as prepaid rent, favorable and unfavorable lease intangibles and straight-line rent timing differences), in accordance with the new guidance, and impairment of certain right-of-use assets recognized as a charge to retained earnings as of the effective date.

On the effective date, we recorded the $1.0 million net cumulative effect of the adoption as an increase to retained earnings. Included in the net cumulative effect was an adjustment of approximately $2.0 million to derecognize the deferred gain from sale / leaseback transactions. For most future sale / leaseback transactions, the gain (adjusted for any off-market items) will be recognized immediately in the period that the sale / leaseback transaction occurs.

The impact of ~~adoption, which may identify additional impacts~~adopting ASC 842 on effected lines of our opening consolidated balance sheet was as follows:

New Accounting Pronouncements - "to be Adopted"

There are no issued accounting pronouncements that we have yet to adopt that we believe would have a material effect on our ~~consolidated~~ financial statements.

Subsequent Events

We evaluated events subsequent to ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019 through the date the financial statements were issued to determine if the nature and significance of the events warrant inclusion in our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within our consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows:


	June 5, 2019		August 29, 2018		December 18, 2019		August 28, 2019

Amounts included in restricted cash represent those required to be set aside for (1) maximum amount of interest payable in the next 12 months under the 2018 Credit Agreement (see Note 13), (2) collateral for letters of credit issued for potential insurance obligations, which letters of credit expire ~~in 2019~~within 12 months and (3) pre-funding of the credit limit under our corporate purchasing card program.

Note 3. Revenue Recognition

Restaurant Sales

Restaurant sales consist of sales of food and beverage products to restaurant guests at our Luby’s ~~Cafeteria,~~cafeterias and our Fuddruckers and Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants. Revenue from restaurant sales is recognized at the point of sale and is presented net of discounts, coupons, employee meals and complimentary meals. Sales taxes that we collect and remit to the appropriate taxing authority related to these sales are excluded from revenue.

We sell gift cards to our customers in our venues and through certain third-party distributors. These gift cards do not expire and do not incur a service fee on unused balances. Sales of gift cards to our restaurant customers are initially recorded as a contract liability, included in accrued expenses and other liabilities, at their expected redemption value. When gift cards are redeemed, we recognize revenue and reduce the contract liability. Discounts on gift cards sold by third parties are recorded as a reduction to accrued expenses and other liabilities and are recognized, as a reduction to revenue, over a period that approximates redemption patterns. The portion of gift cards sold to customers that are never redeemed is commonly referred to as gift card breakage. ~~Under ASC 606 we~~We recognize gift card breakage revenue in proportion to the pattern of gift card redemptions exercised by our customers, using an estimated breakage rate based on our historical experience. Under the Previous Standards, we recognized gift card breakage income within other (expense) income (and not within revenue) when it was deemed remote that the unused gift card balance would be redeemed.

Culinary contract services revenue

Our Culinary Contract Services segment provides food, beverage and catering services to our clients at their locations. Depending on the type of client and service, we are either paid directly by our client and/or directly by the customer to whom we have been provided access by our client.

We typically use one of the following types of client contracts:

Fee-Based ~~Contracts.~~Contracts Revenue from fee-based contracts is based on our costs incurred and invoiced to the client along with the agreed management fee, which may be calculated as a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of sales or other variable measure. Some fee-based contracts entitle us to receive incentive fees based upon our performance under the contract, as measured by factors such as sales, operating costs and client satisfaction surveys. This potential incentive revenue is allocated entirely to the management services performance obligation. We recognize revenue from our management fee and payroll cost reimbursement over time as the services are performed. We recognize revenue from our food and 3^rd party purchases reimbursement at the point in time when the vendor delivers the goods or performs the services.

Profit and Loss ~~Contracts.~~Contracts Revenue from profit and loss contracts consist primarily of sales made to consumers, typically with little or no subsidy charged to clients. Revenue is recognized at the point of sale to the consumer. Sales taxes that we collect and remit to the appropriate taxing authority related to these sales are excluded from revenue.

As part of client contracts, we sometimes make payments to clients, such as concession rentals, vending commissions and profit share. These payments are accounted for as operating costs when incurred.

Revenue from the sale of frozen foods includes royalty fees based on a percentage of frozen food sales and is recognized at the point in time when product is delivered by our contracted manufacturers to the retail outlet.

Franchise revenues

Franchise revenues consist primarily of royalties, marketing and advertising fund (“MAF”) contributions, initial and renewal franchise fees, and upfront fees from area development agreements related to our Fuddruckers restaurant brand. Our performance obligations under franchise agreements consist of: (1) a franchise license, including a license to use our brand and MAF management, (2) pre-opening services, such as training and inspections and (3) ongoing services, such as development of training materials and menu items as well as restaurant monitoring and inspections. These performance obligations are highly interrelated, so we do not consider them to be individually distinct. We account for them ~~under ASC 606~~ as a single performance obligation, which is satisfied over time by providing a right to use our intellectual property over the term of each franchise agreement.

Royalties, including franchisee MAF contributions, are calculated as a percentage of franchise restaurant sales. MAF contributions paid by franchisees are used for the creation and development of brand advertising, marketing and public relations, merchandising research and related programs, activities and materials. The initial franchisee fee is payable upon execution of the franchise agreement and the renewal fee is due and payable at the expiration of the initial term of the franchise agreement. Our franchise agreement royalties, including advertising fund contributions, represent sales-based royalties that are related entirely to our performance obligation under the franchise agreement and are recognized as franchise sales occur.

Initial and renewal franchise fees and area development fees are recognized as revenue over the term of the respective agreement. Area development fees are not distinct from franchise fees, so upfront fees paid by franchisees for exclusive development rights are deferred and apportioned to each franchise restaurant opened by the franchisee. The pro-rata amount apportioned to each restaurant is accounted for as an initial franchise fee.

Under the Previous Standards, initial franchise fees and area development fees were recognized as revenue when the related restaurant commenced operations and we completed all material pre-opening services and conditions. Renewal franchise fees were recognized as revenue upon execution of a new franchise agreement. MAF contributions from franchisees and the related MAF expenditures were accounted for on a net basis in our consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue from vending machine sales is recorded at the point in time when the sale occurs.

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities consist of (1) deferred revenue resulting from initial and renewal franchise fees and upfront area development fees paid by franchisees, which are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying agreement, (2) liability for unused gift cards and (3) unamortized discount on gift cards sold to 3^rd party retailers. These contract liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The following table reflects the change in contract ~~liabilities between the date of adoption (August 30, 2018) and June 5, 2019:~~liabilities:

(1) Amortization of the deferred franchise fees will begin when the restaurant commences operations and revenue will be recognized straight-line over the franchise term (which is typically 20 years). If the franchise agreement is terminated, the deferred franchise fee will be recognized in full in the period of termination.

Disaggregation of Total Revenues

For the ~~three quarters~~quarter ended ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019, total sales of ~~$252.1~~$95.1 million was comprised of revenue from performance obligations satisfied over time of ~~$17.7~~$6.9 million and revenue from performance obligations satisfied at a point in time of ~~$234.4~~$88.3 million. For the quarter ended ~~June 5, 2019,~~December 19, 2018, total sales of ~~$74.8~~$102.9 million was comprised of revenue from performance obligations satisfied over time of ~~$5.4~~$7.1 million and revenue from performance obligations satisfied at a point in time of ~~$69.4~~$95.8 million. See Note 5. Reportable Segments for disaggregation of revenue by reportable segment.

~~With~~

Note 4. Leases

Lessee

We determine if a contract contains a lease at the ~~exception~~inception date of the ~~cumulative effect adjustment described~~contract. Our material operating leases consist of restaurant locations and administrative facilities ("Property Leases"). U.S. GAAP requires that our leases be evaluated and classified as operating or finance leases for financial reporting purposes. The classification evaluation begins at the date on which the leased asset is available for our use (the “Commencement Date”) and the��lease term used in ~~Note 1,~~ the ~~adoption~~evaluation includes the non-cancellable period for which we have the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option periods when the exercise of ~~ASC 606~~the

renewal option is reasonably certain and failure to exercise such option would result in an economic penalty (the "Reasonably Certain Lease Term"). Our lease agreements generally contain a primary term of five to 30 years with one or more options to renew or extend the lease generally from one to five years each. In addition to leases for our restaurant locations and administrative facilities, we also lease vehicles and administrative equipment under operating leases. As of December 18, 2019, we did not have any finance leases.

At the inception of a ~~material effect~~new lease, we recognize an operating lease liability and a corresponding right of use asset, which are calculated as the the present value of the total fixed lease payments over the reasonably certain lease term using discount rates as of the effective date.

Property lease agreements may include rent holidays, rent escalation clauses and contingent rent provisions based on a percentage of sales in excess of specified levels. Contingent rental expenses (“variable lease cost”) are recognized prior to the achievement of a specified target, provided that the achievement of the target is considered probable. Most of our lease agreements include renewal periods at our option. We include the rent holiday periods and scheduled rent increases in our calculation of straight-line rent expense.

Lease cost for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis and includes the amortization of the right-of-use asset and interest expense related to the operating lease liability. We use the reasonably certain lease term in our calculation of straight-line rent expense. We expense rent from commencement date through restaurant open date as opening expense. Once a restaurant opens for business, we record straight-line rent expense plus any additional variable contingent rent expense (such as common area maintenance, insurance and property tax costs) to the extent it is due under the lease agreement as occupancy expense for our restaurants and selling, general and administrative expense for our corporate office and support facilities. The interest expense related to the lease liability for abandoned leases is recorded to provision for asset impairments and store closings. Rental expense for lease properties that are subsequently subleased to franchisees or other third parties is recorded as other income.

We make judgments regarding the reasonably certain lease term for each property lease, which can impact the classification and accounting for a lease as a finance lease or an operating lease, the rent holiday and/or escalations in payments that are taken into consideration when calculating straight-line rent, and the term over which leasehold improvements for each restaurant are amortized. These judgments may produce materially different amounts of depreciation, amortization and rent expense than would be reported if different assumed lease terms were used.

The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the Company’s estimated collateralized incremental borrowing rate, based on the yield curve for the respective lease terms, as the Company generally cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease.

Lessor

We occasionally lease or sublease certain restaurant properties to our franchisees or to third parties. The lease descriptions, terms, variable lease payments and renewal options are generally similar to our lessee leases described above. Similar to our lessee accounting, we elected the lessor practical expedient that allows us to not separate non-lease components from lease components in regard to all property leases where we are the lessor. As of December 18, 2019, we did not have any sales-type or direct financing leases.

Note 5. Reportable Segments

~~The~~As more fully discussed at Note 1. Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company reevaluated its reportable segments and has disaggregated its Company-owned restaurants into three reportable segments; Luby’s cafeterias, Fuddruckers restaurants and Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants. We began reporting on the new structure in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The segment data for the comparable periods presented has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

~~The Company enters into derivative instruments, from time~~Other charges includes those expenses that we consider related to ~~time, to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates on a percentage~~our restructuring efforts or are not part of its long-term variable rate debt. On December 14, 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap, pay fixed - receive floating, with a constant notional amount of $17.5 million. The fixed swap rate we paid was 1.965% and the variable rate we received was one-month LIBOR. The term of the interest rate swap was 5 years. The Company did not apply hedge accounting treatment to this derivative; therefore, changes in fair value of the instrument were recognized in Other income (expense), net. The changes in the interest rate swap fair value resulted in an expense of approximately $0.1 million during the three quarters ended June 5, 2019 and a credit to expense of approximately $0.7 million in the three quarters ended June 6, 2018. The Company terminated its interest rate swap in the quarter ended December 19, 2018 and received approximately $0.3 million in cash proceeds.our ongoing operations.

Note 7. Fair Value Measurements

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

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

Level 1: Defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2: Defined as pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures.

Level 3: Defined as pricing inputs that are unobservable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

The fair values of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other receivables, net, and accounts payable approximate their carrying value due to their short duration. The carrying value of the Company's total credit facility debt, net of unamortized discounts and debt issue costs, at ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019 and August ~~29, 2018~~28, 2019 was approximately ~~$42.0~~$49.0 million and ~~$39.3~~$45.4 million, respectively, which approximates fair value because the applicable interest rate is adjusted frequently based on short-term market rates (Level 2).

Note 8. Income Taxes

The effects of the U.S. tax reform legislation that is commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) on the Company's income tax accounts were reflected in the fiscal 2018 financial statements as determined based on available information, subject to interpretation in accordance with the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118"). SAB 118 provides guidance on accounting for the effects of the Tax Act where such determinations are incomplete; however, the Company has completed its determination of the effects of the Tax Act on its income tax accounts.

No cash payments of estimated federal income taxes were made during the ~~three~~ quarters ended ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019 and ~~June 6,~~December 19, 2018, respectively. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using currently enacted rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent future taxable income is expected to be sufficient to utilize those assets prior to their expiration. If current available evidence and information raises doubt regarding the realization of the deferred tax assets, on a more likely than not basis, a valuation allowance is necessary. In evaluating our ability to realize the Company's deferred tax assets, the Company considered available positive and negative evidence, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. As of ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019, management ~~determined that for the three quarters ended June 5, 2019~~continues to maintain a full valuation allowance ~~on the Company's~~against net deferred tax ~~assets was necessary.~~assets.

The effective tax rate ("ETR") for continuing operations was a negative ~~2.6%~~1.1% for the quarter ended ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019 and a negative ~~41.2%~~1.6% for the quarter ended ~~June 6,~~December 19, 2018. The ETR for the quarter ended ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to management's full ~~valuation allowance conclusion, anticipated federal jobs credits, state income taxes, and other discrete items.~~

The ETR for continuing operations was a negative 6.0% for the three quarters ended June 5, 2019 and a negative 31.8% for the three quarters ended June 6, 2018. The ETR for the three quarters ended June 5, 2019 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to full management's valuation allowance conclusion, anticipated federal jobs credits, state income taxes, and other discrete items.

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

During the quarter ended March 13, 2019, the Company completed the sale of two properties with a total net sales price of approximately $19.6 million. The properties sold had been included in the previously announced asset sales program. The sales included lease back periods of 36 and 60 months and average annual lease payments of approximately $450 thousand and $295 thousand, respectively. The Company recorded a total net gain on the two sales of approximately $15.3 million of which $12.9 million was recognized in the quarter ended March 13, 2019 and the remainder will be recognized over the respective lease back periods. The deferred gain on the sale of the two properties is included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet at June 5, 2019. Net proceeds from the sales were used in accordance with the 2018 Credit Agreement, to reduce the balance on its outstanding 2018 Term Loan (as defined below) and for general business purposes.

Intangible assets, net, includes the Fuddruckers trade name and franchise agreements and are amortized. The Company believes the Fuddruckers brand name has an expected accounting life of 21 years from the date of acquisition based on the expected use of its assets and the restaurant environment in which it is being used. The trade name represents a respected brand with customer loyalty and the Company intends to cultivate and protect the use of the trade name. The franchise agreements, after considering renewal periods, have an estimated accounting life of 21 years from the date of acquisition, July 2010, and will be amortized over this period of time.

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

The aggregate amortization expense related to intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately ~~$1.0~~$0.4 million and ~~$1.1~~$0.4 million for the ~~three~~ quarters ended ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019 and ~~June 6,~~December 19, 2018, respectively. The aggregate amortization expense related to intangible assets subject to amortization is expected to be approximately $1.4 million in each of the next five successive fiscal years.

The following table presents intangible assets as of ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019 and August ~~29, 2018:~~28, 2019:

(1) The amounts as of August 29, 2018 reflect a reclassification of amounts from the Cheeseburger in Paradise trade name and license agreements to the Fuddruckers trade name and franchise agreements lines on the table, netting to approximately $88 thousand.

Goodwill, net of accumulated impairments of approximately $1.9 million, was approximately ~~$555~~$514 thousand as of ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019 and August ~~29, 2018, respectively, and relates to our Company-owned restaurants reportable segment.~~28, 2019, respectively. Goodwill has been allocated and impairment is assessed at the reporting level, which is the individual restaurants within our Fuddruckers and Cheeseburger in Paradise ~~brands~~reporting segments that were acquired in fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2013, respectively. The net Goodwill balance at ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019 is comprised of amounts assigned to one Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant that is still operated by us, and the goodwill from the Fuddruckers acquisition in 2010. The Company performs a goodwill impairment test annually as of the end of the second fiscal quarter of each year and more frequently when negative conditions or a triggering event arises. Management prepares valuations for each of its restaurants using a discounted cash flow analysis (Level 3 inputs) to determine the fair value of each reporting unit for comparison with the reporting unit's carrying value in determining if there has been an impairment of goodwill at the reporting level.

The Company recorded no goodwill impairment charges during the ~~three~~ quarters ended ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019 and ~~approximately $0.6 million during the three quarters ended June 6,~~December 19, 2018.

Note 10. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Discontinued Operations, Property Held for Sale and Store Closings

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Store Closings

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

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

We recognized the following impairment charges to income from operations:

The ~~approximate $3.1~~$1.1 million ~~impairment charge~~provision for asset impairments and restaurant closings for the ~~three quarters~~quarter ended ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019 iswas due primarily to the impairment of the right-of-use asset for two of our leased locations where we ceased operations during the period and certain surplus equipment written down to fair value.

The $1.2 million provision for asset impaiments and restaurant closings for the quarter ended December 19, 2018 was primarily related to assets at ~~nine~~6 property locations ~~held for use, six~~and 6 properties held for sale written down to their fair ~~value and one international joint venture investment.~~values.

The approximate $6.7 million impairment charge for the three quarters ended June 6, 2018 is primarily related to assets at ten property locations held for use, ten properties held for sale written down to their fair value, goodwill at 3 locations, and approximately $0.7 million in net lease termination costs at five property locations.

The approximate $12.9 million net gain for the three quarters ended June 5, 2019 is primarily related to gains on the sale and leaseback of two properties and gains on the sale of one undeveloped property that was held for sale, partially offset by routine asset retirements.

The approximate $0.2 million net loss for the three quarters ended June 6, 2018 is primarily related to asset retirements at six property location closures partially offset by gains on the sale of 3 property locations.

Discontinued Operations

As a result of the first quarter fiscal 2010 adoption of our Cash Flow Improvement and Capital Redeployment Plan, we reclassified 24 Luby’s Cafeterias to discontinued operations. As of ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019, one location remains held for sale.

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

As of ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019, we had one property classified as discontinued operations. The asset carrying value of the owned property was approximately $1.8 million and is included in assets related to discontinued operations. We are actively marketing this property for sale. The asset carrying value at one other property with a ground lease, included in discontinued operations, was previously impaired to zero.

Property Held for Sale

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

Property held for sale includes unimproved land, closed restaurant properties, properties with operating restaurants ~~the~~that our Board of Directors has approved for sale, and related equipment for locations not classified as discontinued operations. The specific assets are valued at the lower of net ~~depreciable~~depreciated value or net realizable value.

At ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019, and August 28, 2019 we had 1314 owned properties with a carrying value of approximately ~~$15.1~~$16.5 million in property held for sale. During the ~~three quarters~~quarter ended ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019, ~~two~~no properties were sold that were previously classified as held for sale. The pretax profit (loss) for the disposal group of locations operating for the ~~three~~ quarters ended ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019 and ~~June 6,~~December 19, 2018 was a pretax ~~income~~loss of approximately $13.1 million and a pretax loss of $0.9 million, respectively. Included in the pretax income (loss) for the three quarters ended June 5, 2019 and June 6, 2018 was net gains of $13.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

~~At August 29, 2018, we had 15 owned properties, of which two restaurants are located on one property, with a carrying value of approximately $19.5~~$(0.1) million in ~~property held for sale. The pretax loss for the disposal group of locations operating in fiscal 2018 was approximately $1.2 million.~~each quarter.

We are actively marketing the locations currently classified as property held for sale.

Abandoned Leased Facilities - ~~Reserve~~Liability for Store Closings

As of ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019, we classified ~~as abandoned 8~~7 leased restaurants ~~locationed~~located in Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Texas and Virginia .as abandoned. Although we remain obligated under the terms of the leases for the rent and other costs that may be associated with the leases, we decided to cease operations and we have no foreseeable plans to occupy the spaces as a company restaurant in the future. In connection with the adoption of ASC 842 (see Note 1.), we reclassified the rent portion of the liability for store closings in the amount of $1.0 million to operating lease liabilities-current. During the ~~three quarters~~quarter ended ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019, two of the leases we ~~recorded a decrease~~considered abandoned as of August 28, 2019 expired and the operating lease liability-current of $0.3 million for these two locations was reclassified to the liability for ~~lease termination expense and a credit to earnings, in provision for asset impairments and restaurant closings of approximately $0.5 million.~~store closings.

Pending Claims

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

Operating Leases

In the third quarter of fiscal 2004, Messrs. Pappas became partners in a limited partnership which purchased a retail strip center in Houston, Texas. Messrs. Pappas collectively own a 50% limited partnership interest and a 50% general partnership interest in the limited partnership. A third party company manages the center. One of the Company’s restaurants has rented approximately 7% of the space in that center since July 1969. No changes were made to the Company’s lease terms as a result of the transfer of ownership of the center to the new partnership.

On November 22, 2006, the Company executed a new lease agreement with respect to this shopping center. Effective upon the Company’s relocation and occupancy into the new space in July 2008, the new lease agreement provides for a primary term of approximately 12 years with two subsequent five-year options and gives the landlord an option to buy out the tenant on or after the calendar year 2015 by paying the then unamortized cost of improvements to the tenant. The Company pays rent of $22.00 per square foot plus maintenance, taxes, and insurance during the remaining primary term of the lease. Thereafter, the lease provides for increases in rent at set intervals. The new lease agreement was approved by the Finance and Audit ~~Committee.~~Committee of our Board of Directors.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, on March 12, 2014, the Company executed a new lease agreement with Pappas Restaurants, Inc. for one of our Fuddruckers locations in Houston, Texas.

2018 Credit Agreement

On December 13, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement ~~(the~~(as amended by the First Amendment (as defined below), the “2018 Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and a subsidiary of MSD Capital, MSD PCOF Partners VI, LLC (“MSD”), as Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the lenders party thereto agreed to make loans to the Company from time to time up to an aggregate principal amount of ~~$80.0~~$80 million consisting of a ~~$10.0~~$10 million revolving credit facility (the “2018 Revolver”), a ~~$10.0~~$10 million delayed draw term loan (“2018 Delayed Draw Term Loan”), and a ~~$60.0~~$60 million term loan (the “2018 Term Loan”, and together with the 2018 Revolver and the 2018 Delayed Draw Term Loan, the “2018 Credit Facility”). The 2018 Credit Facility terminates on, and all amounts owing thereunder must be repaid on, December 13, 2023.

On July 31, 2019, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the 2018 Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) to extend the 2018 Delayed Draw Term Loan expiration date for up to one year to the earlier to occur of (a) the date on which the commitments under the 2018 Delayed Draw Term Loan have been terminated or reduced to zero in accordance with the terms of the 2018 Credit Agreement and (b) September 13, 2020. On December 18, 2019, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the 2018 Credit Agreement which did not change any terms of the agreement permanently. The amendment only decreased the amount of mandatory prepayment related to the sale of two properties in the second quarter.

Borrowings under the 2018 Revolver, 2018 Delayed Draw Term Loan, and 2018 Term Loan will bear interest at the London InterBank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 7.75% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly and accrues daily. Under the terms of the 2018 Credit Agreement, the maximum amount of interest payable, based on the aggregate principal amount of $80.0 million and interest rates in effect at December 13, 2018, in the next 12 months was required to be pre-funded at the closing date of the 2018 Credit Agreement. The pre-funded amount at December 18, 2019 of approximately ~~$6.9~~$6.3 million is recorded in Restricted cash and cash equivalents on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. LIBOR is set to terminate in December, 2021. We expect to agree to a replacement rate with MSD prior to the LIBOR termination.

The 2018 Credit Facility is subject to the following minimum amortization payments: 1st anniversary: $10.0 million; 2nd anniversary: $10.0 million; 3rd anniversary: $15.0 million; and 4th anniversary: $15.0 million.

The Company also pays a quarterly commitment fee based on the unused portion of the 2018 Revolver and the 2018 Delayed Draw Term Loan at 0.50% per annum. Voluntary prepayments, refinancing and asset dispositions constituting a sale of all or substantially all assets, under the 2018 Delayed Draw Term Loan and the 2018 Term Loan are subject to a make whole premium during years one and two equal to the present value of all interest otherwise owed from the date of the pre-payment through the end of year two, a 2.0% fee during year three, and a 1.0% fee during year four. Finally, the Company paid to the lenders a one-time fee of $1.6 million in connection with the closing of the 2018 Credit Facility.

Indebtedness under the 2018 Credit Facility is secured by a security interest in, among other things, all of the Company’s present and future personal property (other than certain excluded assets), all of the personal property of its guarantors (other than certain excluded assets) and all Mortgaged Property (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement) of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The 2018 Credit Facility contains customary covenants and restrictions on the Company’s ability to engage in certain activities, including financial performance covenants, asset sales and acquisitions, and contains customary events of default. Specifically, among other things, the Company is required to maintain minimum Liquidity (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement) of $3.0

million as of the last day of each fiscal quarter and a minimum Asset Coverage Ratio (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement) of 2.50 to 1.00. As of ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019, the Company was in full compliance with all covenants with respect to the 2018 Credit Facility.

All amounts owing by the Company under the 2018 Credit Facility are guaranteed by the subsidiaries of the Company.

As of ~~June 5, 2019, we had no amounts due within the next 12 months under the 2018 Credit Facility due to principal repayments in excess of the required minimum as of June 5, 2019. As of June 5,~~December 18, 2019 we had approximately ~~$1.3~~$1.7 million committed under

letters of credit, which isare used as security for the payment of insurance obligations and are fully cash collateralized, and approximately $0.1 million in other indebtedness.

As of ~~July 15, 2019,~~February 3, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the terms of the 2018 Credit Agreement.

2016 Credit Agreement

On November 8, 2016, the Company entered into a $65.0 million Senior Secured Credit Facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Cadence Bank, NA and Texas Capital Bank, NA, as lenders (“2016 Credit Agreement”). The 2016 Credit Agreement, prior to the amendments discussed below, was comprised of a $30.0 million 5-year Revolver (the “Revolver”) and a $35.0 million 5-year Term Loan (the “Term Loan”), and it also included sub-facilities for swingline loans and letters of credits. The original maturity date of the 2016 Credit Agreement was November 8, 2021.

Borrowings under the Revolver and Term Loan bore interest at 1) a base rate equal to the greater of (a) the federal funds effective rate plus one-half of 1% (the “Base Rate”), (b) prime and (c) LIBOR for an interest period of 1 month, plus, in any case, an applicable spread that ranges from 1.50% to 2.50% per annum the (“Applicable Margin”), or (2) the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), as adjusted for any Eurodollar reserve requirements, plus an applicable spread that ranges from 2.50% to 3.50% per annum. Borrowings under the swingline loan bore interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The applicable spread under each option was dependent upon certain measures of the Company’s financial performance at the time of election. Interest was payable quarterly, or in more frequent intervals if LIBOR applies.

The Company was obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each lender a quarterly commitment fee based on the average daily unused amount of the commitment of such lender, ranged from 0.30% to 0.35% per annum depending upon the Company's financial performance.

The proceeds of the 2016 Credit Agreement were available for the Company to (i) pay in full all indebtedness outstanding under the 2013 Credit Agreement as of November 8, 2016, (ii) pay fees, commissions, and expenses in connection with our repayment of the 2013 Credit Agreement, initial extensions of credit under the 2016 Credit Agreement, and (iii) for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company.

~~The 2016 Credit Agreement, as amended, contained the customary covenants and was secured by an all asset lien on all of the Company's real property and also included customary events of default. On~~ December 13, 2018, the 2016 Credit Agreement was terminated with all outstanding amounts paid in full.

Note 14. Share-Based Compensation

Option awards under the Nonemployee Director Stock Plan generally vest 100% on the first anniversary of the grant date and expire ten years from the grant date. No options were granted under the Nonemployee Director Stock Plan in the ~~three quarters~~quarter ended ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019. No options to purchase shares were outstanding under this plan as of ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019.

Performance Based Incentive Plan

The 2018 TSR Performance Based Incentive Plan (the "2018 TSR Plan") provides for a specified number of shares of common stock under the Employee Stock Plan based on the total shareholder return ranking compared to a selection of peer companies over a three-year cycle. The grant date fair value of the 2018 TSR Plan was determined based on a Monte Carlo simulation model for the three-year period. The target number of shares for distribution at 100% of the award was 373,294 on the grant date. The 2018 TSR Plan is accounted for as an equity award since it provides for a specified number of shares. The expense for this plan year is amortized over the three-year period based on 100% target award.

Non-cash compensation expense related to the Company's TSR Performance Based Incentive Plans, recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, was approximately ~~$355~~$118 thousand and ~~$69~~$120 thousand in the ~~three~~ quarters ended ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019 and ~~June 6,~~December 19, 2018, ~~respectively, and approximately $118 thousand and $(4) thousand for the quarters ended June 5, 2019 and June 6, 2018,~~ respectively.

A summary of the Company’s restricted stock Performance Based Incentive Plan activity during the ~~three quarters~~quarter ended ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019 is presented in the following table:

At ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019, there was approximately ~~$0.6~~$0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to 2018 TSR Performance Based Incentive Plan that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of ~~1.2~~0.7 years.

Restricted Stock Awards

Under the Nonemployee Director Stock Plan, directors ~~are~~may be granted restricted stock in lieu of cash payments, for all or a portion of their compensation as directors. Directors may receive a 20% premium of additional restricted stock by opting to receive stock over a minimum required amount of stock, in lieu of cash. The number of shares granted is valued at the average of the high and low price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant. Restricted stock awards vest when granted because they are granted in lieu of a cash payment. However, directors are restricted from selling their shares until after the third anniversary of the date of the grant.

Note 15. Earnings Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the calculation of diluted net income per share, the basic weighted average number of shares is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options determined using the treasury stock method. Stock options excluded from the computation of net income per share for the ~~quarter and three~~ quarters ended ~~June 5,~~ended December 18, 2019 and December 19, 2018 include ~~1,464,010~~1,174,247 shares and 1,494,129 shares, respectively with exercise prices exceeding market prices whose inclusion would also be anti-dilutive.

The components of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:


	Quarter Ended						Three Quarters Ended						Quarter Ended
	June 5, 2019			June 6, 2018			June 5, 2019			June 6, 2018			December 18, 2019			December 19, 2018

Note 16: Shareholder Rights Plan

On February 15, 2018, the Board of Directors adopted a shareholder rights plan with a 10% triggering threshold and declared a dividend distribution of one right initially representing the right to purchase one half of a share of Luby’s common stock, upon specified terms and conditions. The rights plan was effective immediately.

The Board adopted the shareholder rights plan in view of the concentrated ownership of Luby’s common stock as a means to ensure that all of Luby’s stockholders are treated equally. The shareholder rights plan is designed to limit the ability of any person or group to gain control of Luby’s without paying all of Luby’s stockholders a premium for that control. The shareholder rights plan was not adopted in response to any specific takeover bid or other plan or proposal to acquire control of Luby’s.

If a person or group acquires 10% or more of the outstanding shares of Luby’s common stock (including in the form of synthetic ownership through derivative positions), each right will entitle its holder (other than such person or members of such group) to purchase, for $12, a number of shares of Luby’s common stock having a then-current market value of twice such price. The rights plan exempts any person or group owning 10% or more (35.5% or more in the case of Harris J. Pappas, Christopher J. Pappas and their respective affiliates and associates) of Luby’s common stock immediately prior to the adoption of the rights plan. However, the rights will be exercisable if any such person or group acquires any additional shares of Luby’s common stock (including through derivative positions) other than as a result of equity grants made by Luby’s to its directors, officers or employees in their capacities as such.

Prior to the acquisition by a person or group of beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of Luby’s common stock, the rights are redeemable for 1 cent per right at the option of Luby’s Board of Directors.

The dividend distribution was made on February 28, 2018 to stockholders of record on that date. Unless and until a triggering event occurs and the rights become exercisable, the rights will trade with shares of Luby’s common stock.

Luby’s financial condition, operations, and earnings per share was not affected by the adoption of the shareholder rights plan.

On February 11, 2019, the Board of Directors approved the first amendment to the shareholder rights plan extending the term of the shareholder rights plan to February 15, 2020.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Although store level profit, defined as restaurant sales less cost of food, payroll and related costs, other operating expenses, and occupancy costs is a non-GAAP measure, we believe its presentation is useful because it explicitly shows the results of our most significant reportable segment. The following table reconciles between store level profit, a non-GAAP measure, to loss from continuing operations, a GAAP measure:

Overview

Luby’s, Inc. (“Luby’s”, the “Company”, "we", "us", or "our") is a multi-branded company operating in the restaurant industry and in the contract food services industry. Our primary brands include Luby’s Cafeteria, Fuddruckers - World’s Greatest Hamburgers^®, Luby’s Culinary Contract Services and Cheeseburger in Paradise.

Our Company’s vision is that our guests, employees and shareholders stay loyal to our restaurant brands and value them as a significant part of their lives. We want our company’s performance to make it a leader in our industry.

We are headquartered in Houston, Texas. Our corporate headquarters is located at 13111 Northwest Freeway, Suite 600, Houston, Texas 77040, and our telephone number at that address is (713) 329-6800. Our website is www.lubysinc.com. The information on our website is not, and shall not be deemed to be, a part of this Form 10-Q or incorporated by reference into any of our other filings with the SEC.

As of ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019, we owned and operated ~~130~~119 restaurants, of which 8078 are traditional cafeterias, 4940 are gourmet hamburger restaurants, and one is a casual dining restaurant and bar. These establishments are located in close proximity to retail centers, business developments and residential areas mostly throughout the United States. Included in the ~~130~~119 restaurants that we own and operate are 12 restaurants located at six property locations where we operate a side-by-side Luby’s Cafeteria and Fuddruckers on the same property. We refer to these locations as “Combo locations.”

As of ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019, we operated 3233 Culinary Contract Services locations. We operated 22 of these locations in the Houston, Texas area, three in Dallas, Texas, three in the Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley, two in ~~Dallas, Texas, and two in~~ San Antonio, Texas, one in northwest Texas one in Kansas, and one in ~~northwest Texas. Outside of Texas we operated one location in~~ North ~~Carolina and one in Kansas.~~Carolina. Luby’s Culinary Contract Services currently provides food service management to hospitals, corporate dining facilities, sports stadiums, and a senior care facility.

As of ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019, we had ~~42 franchisees~~37 franchise owners operating ~~107~~97 Fuddruckers restaurants. Our largest ~~six~~6 franchise owners own five to twelve restaurants ~~each. Fourteen~~each and 12 franchise owners each own two to four restaurants. The 2219 remaining franchise owners each own one restaurant.

Accounting Periods

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last Wednesday in August. Accordingly, each fiscal year normally consists of 13 four-week periods, or accounting periods, accounting for 364 days in the aggregate. However, every fifth or sixth year, we have a fiscal year that consists of 53 weeks, accounting for 371 days in the aggregate. The first fiscal quarter consists of four four-week periods, or 16 weeks, and the remaining three quarters typically includes three four-week periods, or 12 weeks, in length. The fourth fiscal quarter includes 13 weeks in certain fiscal years to adjust for our standard 52 week, or 364 day, fiscal year compared to the 365 day calendar year. Comparability between quarters may be affected by the varying lengths of the quarters, as well as the seasonality associated with the restaurant business.

Same-Store Sales

The restaurant business is highly competitive with respect to food quality, concept, location, price, and service, all of which may have an effect on same-store sales. Our same-store sales calculation measures the relative performance of a certain group of restaurants. A restaurant’s sales results are included in the same-store sales calculation in the quarter after a store has been open for six consecutive fiscal quarters. Stores that close on a permanent basis (or on a temporary basis for remodeling) are removed from the group in the quarter when operations cease at the restaurant, but remain in the same-store group for previously reported quarters. Although management believes this approach leads to more effective year-over-year comparisons, neither the time frame nor the exact practice may be similar to those used by other restaurant companies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Quarter Ended ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019 Compared to Quarter Ended ~~June 6,~~December 19, 2018

Comparability between quarters is affected by the varying lengths of the quarters and quarters ending at different points in the calendar year when seasonal patterns for sales are different. Both the quarter ended ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019 and the quarter ended ~~June 6,~~December 19, 2018 consisted of 1216 weeks.

Franchise Operations

Franchise revenue includes (1) royalties paid to us as the franchisor for the Fuddruckers brand; (2) funds paid to us as the franchisor for pooled advertising expenditures; and (3) amortization of initial and renewal franchise fees ~~paid to us when franchise units are opened~~and remaining unamortized franchisee fees for ~~business or transferred to new owners and when~~ franchise agreements ~~are renewed or certain milestones in franchise agreements are reached.~~that terminate early. Cost of franchise operations includes the direct costs associated with supporting franchisees with opening new Fuddruckers franchised restaurants and the corporate overhead expenses associated with generating franchise revenue. These corporate expenses primarily include the salaries and benefits, travel and related expenses, and other expenses for employees whose primary job function involves supporting our franchise owners and the development of new franchise locations.

Beginning with the first quarter fiscal 2019, as a result of our adoption of the new revenue accounting standards more fully described in Note 1 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements:

We recognize as revenue the amounts due to us from franchisees for pooled advertising expenditures.

We recognize initial and renewal franchise fees evenly over the term of franchise area development ~~agreements.~~agreements and we recognize revenue when a franchise agreement is terminated early.

Additionally, we record an expense and liability in an amount equal to the unspent funds paid to us from franchisees for pooled advertising expenditures that will be incurred in a future period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Our primary sources of short-term and long-term liquidity are cash flows from operations and our 2018 Credit Facility (as defined below). Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash increased approximately ~~$9.1~~$0.6 million at ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019 to ~~$12.8~~$13.4 million from ~~3.7~~$12.8 million at the beginning of the fiscal year. We expect to continue to invest our available liquidity to reduce our debt, maintain our existing restaurants and infrastructure and provide working capital requirements as necessary. We plan to continue the level of capital and repair and maintenance expenditures necessary to keep our restaurants attractive and operating efficiently.

As is common in the restaurant industry, we maintain relatively low levels of accounts receivable and inventories, and our vendors grant trade credit for purchases such as food and supplies. However, higher levels of accounts receivable are typical for culinary contract services and franchises. We also strategically invest in our business through the addition of new units and refurbishment of existing units, which are reflected as long-term assets.

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities:


	Three Quarters Ended						Quarters Ended

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Form 10-Q were prepared in conformity with GAAP. Preparation of the financial statements requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Due to the significant, subjective and complex judgments and estimates used when preparing our unaudited consolidated financial statements, management regularly reviews these assumptions and estimates with the Finance and Audit Committee of our Board. Actual results may differ from these estimates, including our estimates of future cash flows, which are subject to the current economic environment and changes in estimates. Other than the implementation of ASC ~~606~~842 as discussed in Note 1 and 34 of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, we had no changes in ~~our~~the critical accounting policies and estimates which were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August ~~29, 2018.~~28, 2019.

INFLATION

It is generally our policy to maintain stable menu prices without regard to seasonal variations in food costs. Certain increases in costs of food, wages, supplies, transportation and services may require us to increase our menu prices from time to time. To the extent prevailing market conditions allow, we intend to adjust menu prices to maintain profit margins.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains statements that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

our ability to pursue strategic alternatives

general business and economic conditions,

the impact of competition,

decisions made in the allocation of capital resources,

our operating initiatives, changes in promotional, couponing and advertising strategies and the success of management’s business plans,

fluctuations in the costs of commodities, including beef, poultry, seafood, dairy, cheese, oils and produce,

ability to raise menu prices and customer acceptance of changes in menu items,

increases in utility costs, including the costs of natural gas and other energy supplies,

Investors should be aware that the occurrence of the events described above and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q could have material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

~~We are exposed~~As a "smaller reporting company" as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to interest rate risk due to changes in interest rates affecting our variable-rate debt. As of June 5, 2019, the total amount of debt subject to interest rate fluctuations outstanding under our 2018 Credit Facility was $45.4 million Assuming an average debt balance with interest rate exposure of $45.4 million, a 100 basis point increase in prevailing interest rates would increase our annual interest expense by $0.5 million.

We have exposure to various foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations for revenues generated by our operations outside of the United States, which can adversely impact our net income and cash flows. Sales to customers and royalties from franchisees outside the contiguous United States as a percentage of our total revenues were not significant in the quarter ended June 5, 2019 and June 6, 2018, respectively.

Many ingredients in the products sold in our restaurants are commodities subject to unpredictable price fluctuations. We attempt to minimize price volatility by negotiating fixed price contracts for the supply of key ingredients and in some cases by passing increased commodity costs through to the customer by adjusting menu prices or menu offerings. Our ingredients are available from multiple suppliers so we are not dependent on a single vendor for our ingredients.provide this information.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of ~~June 5,~~December 18, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
