Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(tabular amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

(unaudited)

(1)  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas Roadhouse, Inc. ("TRI"), our wholly-owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest (collectively the "Company," "we," "our" and/or "us") as of September 28, 202127, 2022 and December 29, 202028, 2021 and for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 28, 202127, 2022 and September 29, 2020.28, 2021.

As of September 27, 2022, we owned and operated 587 restaurants and franchised an additional 98 restaurants in 49 states and ten foreign countries. Of the 587 company restaurants that were operating at September 27, 2022, there were 567 wholly-owned restaurants and 20 majority-owned restaurants. Of the 587 restaurants that we owned as of September 27, 2022, we operated 545 as Texas Roadhouse restaurants, 38 as Bubba’s 33 restaurants and four as Jaggers restaurants. Of the 98 Texas Roadhouse franchise restaurants, there were 62 domestic restaurants and 36 international restaurants.

As of September 28, 2021, we owned and operated 555 restaurants and franchised an additional 99 restaurants in 49 states and 10ten foreign countries. Of the 555 company restaurants that were operating at September 28, 2021, there were 535 were wholly-owned restaurants and 20 were majority-owned. majority-owned restaurants. Of the 555 restaurants that we owned as of September 28, 2021, we operated 517 as Texas Roadhouse restaurants, 35 as Bubba’s 33 restaurants and three as Jaggers restaurants. Of the 99 Texas Roadhouse franchise restaurants, there were 69 were domestic restaurants and 30 were international restaurants.

The Company has been subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic. These include federal, state and local restrictions on restaurants, some of which limited capacity or seating in the dining rooms while others allowed to-go or curbside service only. As of September 29, 2020, we owned27, 2022 and operated 526 restaurantsSeptember 28, 2021, all of our company and franchised an additional 97 restaurants in 49 states and 10 foreign countries. Of the 526 company restaurants thatfranchise locations were operating at September 29, 2020, 506 were wholly-owned and 20 were majority-owned. Of the 97 franchise restaurants, 70 were domestic restaurants and 27 were international restaurants.without restriction.

As of September 28, 202127, 2022 and September 29, 2020,28, 2021, we owned a 5.0% to 10.0% equity interest in 23 and 24 domestic franchise restaurants.restaurants, respectively. Additionally, as of September 28, 2021, and September 29, 2020, we owned a 40% equity interest in 2 and 4two non-Texas Roadhouse restaurants respectively, as part of a joint venture agreement with a casual dining restaurant operator in China. TheThese unconsolidated restaurants are accounted for using the equity method. Our investments in these unconsolidated affiliates are included in other assets in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and we record our percentage share of net income earned by these unconsolidated affiliates in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income under equity income (loss) from investments in unconsolidated affiliates. The investment balance related to our joint venture agreement in China was fully impaired in late 2021 as the related restaurants closed. All significant intercompany balances and transactions for these unconsolidated restaurants as well as the entities whose accounts have been consolidated have been eliminated.

We have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reporting of revenue and expenses during the periods to prepare these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property and equipment, goodwill, obligations related to insurance reserves, leases and leasehold improvements, legal reserves, gift card breakage and third party fees and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flowsstatements for the periods presented. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, except that certain information and footnotes have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").Commission.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has been subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic (the "pandemic"). These include federal, state and local restrictions on restaurants, some of which have limited capacity or seating in the dining rooms while others have allowed to-go or curbside service only. As of September 28, 2021, all of our domestic company and franchise locations were operating without restriction. As of September 29, 2020, nearly all of our domestic company and franchise restaurants were operating their dining rooms under various limited capacity restrictions.

As a result of these restrictions, we developed a hybrid operating model to accommodate our dining room restrictions together with enhanced to-go. We continue to see increased sales in our to-go program over pre-pandemic levels, even with dining rooms operating without restriction. We cannot predict how long we will continue to be impacted by the pandemic, the extent to which our dining rooms will have to close again or otherwise have limited seating, or if the increased sales in our to-go program will continue. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business, results of operations, or financial condition will depend on future developments which are outside of our control. This includes the efficacy and public acceptance of vaccination programs or testing mandates in curbing the spread of the virus, the introduction and spread of new variants of the virus, which may prove resistant to currently approved vaccines, and new or reinstated restrictions or regulations on our operations. In addition, significant items subject to estimates and assumptions including the carrying amount of property and equipment, goodwill, and lease related assets could be impacted.

(2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Income Taxes

(Accounting Standards Update 2019-12, "ASU 2019-12")

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removed certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the calculation of income taxes in interim periods, and the recognition of deferred taxes for investments. This guidance also simplified aspects of accounting for recognizing deferred taxes for taxable goodwill. We adopted ASU 2019-12 as of the beginning of our 2021 fiscal year. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reference Rate Reform

(Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, "ASU 2020-04")

In March 2020, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting. These changes are intended to simplify the market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This guidance is effective upon issuance to modifications made as early as the beginning of the interim period through December 31, 2022. We are currently assessingdo not anticipate that the impact of adopting this new standard onwill be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

(3)   Long-term Debt

On May 4, 2021, we entered into an agreement to amend our revolving credit facility with a syndicate of commercial lenders led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and PNC Bank, N.A. The amended revolving credit facility remains an unsecured, revolving credit agreement and has a borrowing capacity of up to $300.0 million with the option to increase by an additional $200.0 million subject to certain limitations, including approval by the syndicate of lenders. The amendment also extended the maturity date to May 1, 2026.

Prior to the amendment, our original revolving credit facility had a borrowing capacity of up to $200.0 million with the option to increase by an additional $200.0 million subject to certain limitations, including approval by the syndicate of lenders. On May 11, 2020, we amended the original revolving credit facility to provide for an incremental revolving credit facility of up to $82.5 million. This amount reduced the additional $200.0 million that was available under the original revolving credit facility.

As of May 4, 2021, before the amendment, we had $190.0 million outstanding on the original revolving credit facility and $50.0 million outstanding on the incremental revolving credit facility. As part of the amendment, the $190.0 million remained outstanding on the amended revolving credit facility and the $50.0 million was repaid.

The terms of the amendment require us to pay interest on outstanding borrowings at LIBOR plus a margin of 0.875% to 1.875% and pay a commitment fee of 0.125% to 0.30% per year on any unused portion of the revolving credit facility, in each case depending on our leverage ratio. The amendment also provides an Alternate Base Rate that may be substituted for LIBOR.

As of September 28, 2021,27, 2022, we had $190.0$75.0 million outstanding on the amended revolving credit facility and $101.8$213.3 million of availability, net of $8.2$11.7 million of outstanding letters of credit. As of December 28, 2021, we had $100.0 million outstanding on the amended revolving credit facility and $189.1 million of availability, net of $10.9 million of outstanding letters of credit. ThisThese outstanding amount isamounts are included as long-term debt on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.sheets.

As of December 29, 2020, we had $190.0The weighted-average interest rate for the $75.0 million outstanding on the original revolving credit facility which is included as long-term debt on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. In addition, we hadof September 27, 2022 was 3.69%. $50.0 million outstanding on the incremental revolving credit facility which is included as current maturities of long-term debt on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The weighted-average interest rate for the $190.0 million outstanding as of September 28, 2021 was 0.96%.​The weighted-average interest rate for the $240.0 million of combined borrowings as of December 29, 2020 was 1.98%.

The lenders’ obligation to extend credit pursuant to the amended revolving credit facility depends on us maintaining certain financial covenants. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 28, 2021.27, 2022.

We record deferred revenue for gift cards which includes cards that have been sold but not yet redeemed, a breakage adjustment for a percentage of gift cards that are not expected to be redeemed, and fees paid on gift cards sold through third party retailers. When the gift cards are redeemed, we recognize restaurant sales and reduce deferred revenue. We amortize breakage and third party fees consistent with the historic redemption pattern of the associated gift card, or on actual redemptions in periods where redemptions do not align with historic redemption patterns.a significant portion of which occurs within a year from when the gift card is sold.

During the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 28, 2021,27, 2022, we bought most of our beef from 3four suppliers. We have no material minimum purchase commitments with our vendors that extend beyond a year.

Occasionally, we are a defendant in litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business, including "slip and fall" accidents, employment related claims, claims related to our service of alcohol, and claims from guests or employees alleging illness, injury or food quality, health or operational concerns.  None of these types of litigation, most of which are covered by insurance, has had a material adverse effect on us during the periods covered by this report and, as of the date of this report, we are not party to any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business.

(7)   Acquisitions

On March 30, 2022, we completed the acquisition of one franchise Texas Roadhouse restaurant located in Nebraska in which we previously held a 5.49% equity interest. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, we paid a total purchase price of $6.6 million, net of cash acquired for 100% of the entity. The transaction was accounted for as a step acquisition and we recorded a gain of $0.3 million on our previous investment in equity income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

Additionally, on December 29, 2021, we completed the acquisition of seven franchise Texas Roadhouse restaurants located in South Carolina and Georgia. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreements, we paid a total purchase price of $26.4 million, net of cash acquired.

These transactions were accounted for using the acquisition method as defined in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations. These acquisitions are consistent with our long-term strategy to increase net income and earnings per share.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid (in thousands) for the acquisitions, and the estimated fair value of the assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, which are adjusted for measurement-period adjustments through September 27, 2022.

The share and net income per share data for all periods presented are based on the historical weighted-average shares outstanding.  The diluted earnings per share calculations show the effect of the weighted-average restricted stock units from our equity incentive plans, except during loss periods as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Performance stock units are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation until the performance-based criteria have been met.

For all periods presented, the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 28, 2021, there were 8,003 and 5,527 weighted-average shares of nonvested stock respectively, that were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they would have had an anti-dilutive effect.

(9)(10) Fair Value Measurements

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC")ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability on the measurement date.

Level 1

Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

Level 2

Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3

Inputs that are unobservable for the asset.

The Second Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan of Texas Roadhouse Management Corp. (as amended, the "Deferred Compensation Plan") is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan which allows highly compensated employees to defer receipt of a portion of their compensation and contribute such amounts to 1one or more investment funds held in a rabbi trust. We report the amounts of the rabbi trust in other assets and the corresponding liability in other liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These investments are considered trading securities and are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices. The realized and unrealized holding gains and losses related to these investments, as well as the offsetting compensation expense, are recorded in general and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

(10) Share Based Compensation

On May 13, 2021, our stockholders approved the Texas Roadhouse, Inc. 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan provides for the granting of various forms of equity awards including options, stock appreciation rights, full value awards, and performance-based awards. This Plan replaced the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan and no subsequent awards will be granted under the 2013 Plan.

The Company provides restricted stock units ("RSUs") to employees as a form of share-based compensation. An RSU is the conditional right to receive one share of common stock upon satisfaction of the vesting requirement. In addition to RSUs, the Company provides performance stock units ("PSUs") to certain executives as a form of share-based compensation. A PSU is the conditional right to receive one share of common stock upon meeting a performance obligation along with the satisfaction of the vesting requirement. The following table summarizes the share-based compensation recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income:

We grant PSUs to certain executives which are generally subject to a one-year vesting and the achievement of certain earnings targets, which determine the number of units to vest at the end of the vesting period.  Share-based compensation expense is recognized for the number of units expected to vest at the end of the period and is expensed beginning on the grant date and through the performance period.  For each grant, PSUs vest after meeting the performance and service conditions.  There were 0 PSUs that vested during the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2021 and September 29, 2020. The total intrinsic value of PSUs vested during the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2021 and September 29, 2020 was $0.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively.

On January 8, 2021, 5,199 shares vested related to the January 2020 PSU grant and were distributed during the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2021. With respect to unvested PSUs, we recognized expense of $1.8 million and $5.9 million during the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 28, 2021, respectively. As of September 28, 2021, with respect to unvested PSUs, there was $2.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.3 years.

(11) Stock Repurchase Program

On May 31, 2019,March 17, 2022, our Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $250.0$300.0 million of our common stock. This stock repurchase program has no expiration date and replaced a previous stock repurchase program which was approved on May 22, 2014.31, 2019 that authorized the Company to repurchase up to $250.0 million of our common stock. All repurchases to date under our stock repurchase programs have been made through open market transactions. The timing and the amount of any repurchases are determined by management under parameters established by ourthe Board, of Directors, based on an evaluation of our stock price, market conditions and other corporate considerations.

For the 13 week period ended September 27, 2022, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock. For the 39 week period ended September 27, 2022, we paid $212.9 million to repurchase 2,734,005 shares of our common stock. This includes $133.1 million repurchased under our current authorized stock repurchase program and $79.7 million repurchased under our prior authorization. For both the 13 and 39 week periods ended September 28, 2021, we paid $14.7$14.7 million to repurchase 161,034 shares of our common stock. For the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2020, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock. For the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2020, we paid $12.6 million to repurchase 252,409 shares of our common stock. As of September 28, 2021, we had27, 2022, $133.1166.9 million remainingremained under our authorized stock repurchase program.

(12) Segment Information

We manage our restaurant and franchising operations by concept and as a result have identified Texas Roadhouse, Bubba’s 33, Jaggers and our retail initiatives as separate operating segments. Our reportable segments are Texas Roadhouse and Bubba’s 33. The Texas Roadhouse reportable segment includes the results of our domestic company Texas Roadhouse restaurants and domestic and international franchise Texas Roadhouse restaurants. The Bubba's 33 reportable segment includes the results of our domestic company Bubba's 33 restaurants. Our remaining operating segments, which include the results of our domestic company Jaggers restaurants and the results of our retail initiatives, are included in Other. In addition, corporate-related segment assets, depreciation and amortization, and capital expenditures are also included in Other.

Management uses restaurant margin as the primary measure for assessing performance of our segments. Restaurant margin (in dollars and as a percentage of restaurant and other sales) represents restaurant and other sales less restaurant-level operating costs, including food and beverage costs, labor, rent and other operating costs. Restaurant margin also includes sales and operating costs related to our non-royalty based retail initiatives. Restaurant margin is used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance.

In calculating restaurant margin, we exclude certain non-restaurant-level costs that support operations, including pre-opening and general and administrative expenses, but do not have a direct impact on restaurant-level operational efficiency and performance. We also exclude depreciation and amortization expense, substantially all of which relates to restaurant-level assets, as it represents a non-cash charge for the investment in our restaurants. We also exclude impairment and closure expense as we believe this provides a clearer perspective of the Company’s ongoing operating performance and a more useful comparison to prior period results. Restaurant margin as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry.

Restaurant and other sales for all operating segments are derived primarily from food and beverage sales. We do not rely on any major customer as a source of sales and the customers and assets of our reportable segments are located predominantly in the United States. There are no material transactions between reportable segments.

The following tables reconcile our segment results to our consolidated results reported in accordance with GAAP (in thousands):

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

This report contains forward-looking statements based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry and certain assumptions made by us. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to the potential impact of the COVID-19/Coronavirus outbreakpandemic and other non-historical statements.Words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "may," "will" and variations of these words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. The section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2020,28, 2021, and in Part II, Item 1A in this Form 10-Q, along with disclosures in our other Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings discuss some of the important risk factors that may affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. You should carefully consider those risks, in addition to the other information in this report, and in our other filings with the SEC, before deciding to invest in our Company or to maintain or increase your investment. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements, except as may be required by applicable law. The information contained in this Form 10-Q is not a complete description of our business or the risks associated with an investment in our common stock. We urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the SEC that discuss our business in greater detail and advise interested parties of certain risks, uncertainties and other factors that may affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

COVID-19 Impact

TheOur Company has been subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic (the "pandemic"). These include federal, state and local restrictions on restaurants, some of which have limited capacity or seating in the dining rooms while others have allowed to-go or curbside service only. As of September 28, 2021, all of our domestic company and franchise locations were operating without restriction. As of September 29, 2020, nearly all of our domestic company and franchise restaurants were operating their dining rooms under various limited capacity restrictions.

As a result of these restrictions, we developed a hybrid operating model to accommodate our dining room restrictions together with enhanced to-go. We continue to see increased sales in our to-go program over pre-pandemic levels, even with dining rooms operating without restriction. We cannot predict how long we will continue to be impacted by the pandemic, the extent to which our dining rooms will have to close again or otherwise have limited seating, or if the increased sales in our to-go program will continue. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business, results of operations, or financial condition will depend on future developments which are outside of our control. This includes the efficacy and public acceptance of vaccination programs or testing mandates in curbing the spread of the virus, the introduction and spread of new variants of the virus, which may prove resistant to currently approved vaccines, and new or reinstated restrictions or regulations on our operations.

As a result of the significant increase in sales, the lingering impact of the pandemic, and other supply constraints, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience commodity cost inflation and certain food and supply shortages.  The commodity cost inflation, which primarily relates to beef, is due to increased costs incurred by our vendors related to higher labor, transportation, packaging, and raw materials costs.  To date, we have been able to properly manage any food or supply shortages but have experienced increased costs.  If our vendors are unable to fulfill their obligations under their contracts, we may encounter further shortages and/or higher costs to secure adequate supply and a possible loss of sales, any of which would harm our business.

15

Table of Contents

In addition, as our dining rooms have returned to operating without restriction, our ability to attract and retain restaurant-level employees has become more challenging. This is due to an increasingly competitive job market throughout the country. To the extent these challenges persist, we could continue to experience increased labor costs.

As a result of the pandemic, legislation referred to as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") was passed in 2020 to benefit companies that were significantly impacted by the pandemic. This legislation allowed for the deferral of the social security portion of the employer portion of FICA payroll taxes from the date of enactment through the end of 2020. In total, we deferred $47.3 million in payroll taxes, of which $24.3 million was repaid in Q3 2021 and $23.0 million is required to be repaid at the end of 2022. The amount due in 2022 is included in other liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The CARES Act also allowed for an Employee Retention Credit for companies severely impacted by the pandemic to encourage the retention of full-time employees. This refundable payroll tax credit was available for any company that had fully or partially suspended operations due to government order or experienced a significant decline in gross receipts and had employees who were paid but did not actually work. The Company provided various forms of relief pay for hourly restaurant employees that qualified for this tax credit. For the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2021 and September 29, 2020, we recorded $1.2 million and $4.5 million, respectively, related to this credit which is included in labor expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income. Based on the operating status of our restaurants as of September 28, 2021, we currently do not expect to qualify for any further credits going forward.

OVERVIEW

Texas Roadhouse, Inc. is a growing restaurant company operating predominatelypredominantly in the casual dining segment. Our late founder, W. Kent Taylor, started the businessCompany in 1993 with the opening of the first Texas Roadhouse restaurant in Clarksville, Indiana. Since then, we have grown to 654three restaurant concepts with 685 restaurants in 49 states and ten foreign countries. As of September 28, 2021,27, 2022, our 654685 restaurants included:

555587 "company restaurants," of which 535567 were wholly-owned and 20 were majority-owned.  The results of operations of company restaurants are included in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The portion of income attributable to noncontrolling interests in company restaurants that are not wholly-ownedmajority-owned is reflected in the line item entitled "Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests" in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Of the 555587 restaurants we owned as of September 28, 2021,27, 2022, we operated 517545 as Texas Roadhouse restaurants, 3538 as Bubba’s 33 restaurants and threefour as Jaggers restaurants.

9998 "franchise restaurants," 2423 of which we have a 5.0% to 10.0% ownership interest. The income derived from our minority interests in these franchise restaurants is reported in the line item entitled "Equity income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates" in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Additionally, we provide various management services to these 2423 franchise restaurants, as well as five additional franchise restaurants in which we have no ownership interest. All of the franchise restaurants are operated as Texas Roadhouse restaurants. Of the 9998 franchise restaurants, 6962 were domestic restaurants and 3036 were international restaurants.

We have contractual arrangements that grant us the right to acquire at pre-determined formulas the remaining equity interests in 18 of the 20 majority-owned company restaurants and 6558 of the 6962 domestic franchise restaurants.

Fiscal years 20212022 and 20202021 will be 52 weeks in length, while the quarters for the year will be 13 weeks in length.

COVID-19 and Other Economic Impacts

The Company has been subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic (the "pandemic"). These include federal, state and local restrictions on restaurants, some of which limited capacity or seating in the dining rooms while others allowed to-go or curbside service only. As of September 27, 2022 and September 28, 2021, all of our company and franchise locations were operating without restriction.

As a result of a significant increase in sales, the lingering impact of the pandemic and other supply constraints, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience commodity inflation and certain food and supply shortages. The commodity inflation, with higher costs across the basket, is mostly due to increased demand and increased costs incurred by our vendors related to higher labor, transportation, packaging and raw material costs. To date, we have been able to properly manage any food or supply shortages but have experienced increased costs. If our vendors are unable to fulfill their obligations under their contracts, we may encounter further shortages and/or higher costs to secure adequate supply and a possible loss of sales, any of which would harm our business.

In addition, as our dining rooms have returned to operating without restriction, our ability to attract and retain restaurant-level employees has become more challenging due to an increasingly competitive job market throughout the country. To the extent these challenges persist, we could continue to experience increased labor costs and/or decreased sales.

As a result of the pandemic, legislation referred to as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act was passed in 2020 to benefit companies that were significantly impacted by the pandemic. This legislation allowed for the deferral of the social security portion of the employer portion of FICA payroll taxes from the date of enactment through the end of 2020. In total, we deferred $47.3 million in payroll taxes, of which $24.3 million was repaid in 2021 and $23.0 million is required to be repaid at the end of 2022. The amount due in 2022 is included in accrued wages and payroll taxes in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Long-Term Strategies to Grow Earnings Per Share and Create Shareholder Value

Our long-term strategies with respect to increasing net income and earnings per share, along with creating shareholder value, include the following:

Expanding Our Restaurant Base.   We continue to evaluate opportunities to develop restaurants in existing markets and in new domestic and international markets. Domestically, we remain focused primarily on markets where we believe a significant demand for our restaurants exists because of population size, income levels, and the presence of shopping and entertainment centers and a significant employment base. In recent years, we have relocated several existing Texas Roadhouse locations at or near the end of the associated lease or as a result of eminent domain which allows us to move to a better site, update them to a current prototypical design, construct a larger building with more seats and a greater number of available parking spaces, accommodate increased to-go sales and/or obtain more favorable lease terms. We continue to evaluate these opportunities particularly as it relates to older locations with strong sales. At our high volume restaurants, we continue to look for opportunities to increase our dining room capacity by adding on to our existing building and/or to increase our parking capacity by leasing or purchasing property that adjoins our site. In addition, we continue to execute and pursue opportunities to acquire domestic franchise locations to expand our company restaurant base.

In 20212022 YTD, 1813 company restaurants, including fourtwo Bubba’s 33, were opened.opened and our franchise partners opened five international restaurants. We currently plan to open 26 to 29as many as 23 Texas Roadhouse and Bubba’s 33 company restaurants across all concepts in 2021.2022. We currently expect our franchise partners will open as many as foureight international Texas Roadhouse restaurants primarily international, in 2021.2022. Also, in 2022 YTD, we completed the acquisition of eight domestic franchise Texas Roadhouse restaurants for an aggregate purchase price of $33.1 million.

Our average capital investment for the 1823 Texas Roadhouse restaurants opened during 2020,2021, including pre-opening expenses and a capitalized rent factor, was $6.3$5.7 million. We expect our average capital investment for Texas Roadhouse restaurants opening in 20212022 to be approximately $5.6 million.$6.6 million with the increase over 2021 due to a larger building prototype and higher supply costs. Our average capital investment for the threefive Bubba’s 33 restaurants opened during 2020,2021, including pre-opening expenses and a capitalized rent factor, was $7.3$7.4 million. We expect our average capital investment for Bubba’s 33 restaurants opening in 20212022 to be approximately $7.2 million. The decrease in investment costs for both concepts is primarily$7.8 million with the increase over 2021 due to higher buildingsupply costs. In addition, we continue to experience delays in acquiring restaurant equipment and site work costs in 2020 relatedsupplies that has contributed to construction delays from the pandemic.these higher supply costs.

We remain focused on driving sales and managing restaurant investment costs to maintain our restaurant development in the future. Our capital investment (including cash and non-cash costs) for new restaurants varies significantly depending on a number of factors including, but not limited to: the square footage, layout, scope of required site work, geographical location, cost of materials, type of construction labor, local permitting requirements, hook-up fees, our ability to negotiate with landlords and cost of liquor and other licenses.

We have entered into area development and franchise agreements for the development and operation of Texas Roadhouse restaurants in numerous foreign countries and one U.S. territory. We currently have signed franchise and/or development agreements in nine countries in the Middle East as well as Taiwan, the Philippines, Mexico, China, South Korea, Brazil and Puerto Rico. As of September 28, 2021,27, 2022, we had 15 restaurants in five countries in the Middle East, five restaurants opensix in the Philippines, foursix in South Korea, five in Taiwan, three in South Korea, two in Mexico and one in China for a total of 3036 restaurants in ten foreign countries. For the existing international agreements, the franchisee is required to pay us a franchise fee for each restaurant to be opened, royalties on the gross sales of each restaurant and a development fee for our grant of development rights in the named countries. We anticipate that the specific business terms of any future franchise agreement for international restaurants might vary significantly from the standard terms of our domestic agreements and from the terms of existing international agreements, depending on the territory to be franchised and the extent of franchisor-provided services to each franchisee.

As part of this agreement,these agreements, the franchisee isfranchisees are required to pay us a franchise fee for each restaurant to be opened, royalties on the gross sales of each restaurant and a development fee for our grant of development rights in the named territories. We currently expect our first Jaggers franchise restaurant to open in Q1 2023.

Maintaining and/or Improving Restaurant-Level Profitability. We continue to balance the impacts of inflationary pressures with our value positioning as we remain focused on our long-term success. This may create a challenge in terms of maintaining and/or increasing restaurant-level profitability (restaurant margin), in any given year, depending on the level of inflation we experience. Restaurant margin is not a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle ("GAAP") measure and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to income from operations. See further discussion of restaurant margin below. In addition to restaurant margin, as a percentage of restaurant and other sales, we also focus on the growth of restaurant margin dollars per store week as a measure of restaurant-level profitability. In terms of driving comparable restaurant sales, we remain focused on encouraging repeat visits by our guests and attracting new guests through our continued commitment to operational standards relating to food and service quality. To attract new guests and increase the frequency of visits of our existing guests, we also continue to drive various localized marketing programs, focus on speed of service, and increase throughput by adding seats and parking at certain restaurants.restaurants and continue to enhance the guest digital experience. In addition, with the increase in to-go sales, in prior years and the significant increase during the pandemic, we have made changes to our building layout and size to better accommodate higher to-go volumes at our restaurants. We have also made investments in technology to allow for a better guest experience.

We also continue to look for ways through various strategic initiatives to drive awareness of our brands and increase sales and profitability. At the onset of the pandemic, we began selling ready-to-grill steaks for customers to prepare at home. While we reduced our store-level offerings around ready-to-grill once our dining rooms began to re-open in mid-2020, basedBased on the success of this program we developed Texas Roadhouse Butcher Shop. This on-line retail store allows for the purchase and delivery of quality steaks that are similar to those available in our restaurants. This non-royalty-based product launched in Q4late 2020.

We also further expanded our retail business in 2021 with the introduction of our non-alcoholic Margarita Mixer, which was available in Q1 2021, and our canned cocktail Margarita Seltzer, which rolled out in Q2 2021 in test markets. These Texas Roadhouse-brandedRoadhouse branded products are subject to royalty-based license agreements. In 2022, we announced the roll out of additional non-royalty-based retail products including Texas Roadhouse branded apparel and other accessories.

Leveraging Our Scalable Infrastructure.   To support our growth, we have made investments in our infrastructure over the past several years, including information and accounting systems, real estate, human resources, legal, marketing, international and restaurant operations,across all critical functions, including the development of new strategic initiatives. Whether we are able to leverage our infrastructure in future years by growing our general and administrative costs at a slower rate than our revenue will depend, in part, on our new restaurant openings, our comparable restaurant sales growth rate going forward and the level of investment we continue to make in our infrastructure.

Returning Capital to Shareholders. We continue to evaluate opportunities to return capital to our shareholders including the payment of dividends and repurchase of common stock. In 2011, our Board of Directors (the "Board") declared our first quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share of common stock which wehas consistently grewgrown over time. On March 24, 2020, the Board of Directors voted to suspend theThe payment of a quarterly cash dividends on the Company’s common stock, effective with respect to dividends occurring after the quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 paid on March 27, 2020.

Key Measures We Use to Evaluate Our Company

Key measures we use to evaluate and assess our business include the following:

Number of Restaurant Openings.  Number of restaurant openings reflects the number of restaurants opened during a particular fiscal period. For company restaurant openings, we incur pre-opening costs, which are defined below, before the restaurant opens. Typically, new restaurants open with an initial start-upstart-up period of higher than normalized sales volumes, which decrease to a steady level approximately three to six months after opening. However, although sales

Table of Contents

volumes are generally higher, so are initial costs, resulting in restaurant margins that are generally lower during the start-up period of operation and increase to a steady level approximately three to six months after opening.

Comparable Restaurant Sales.   Comparable restaurant sales reflects the change in restaurant sales for all company restaurants over the same period inof the prior yearsyear for the comparable restaurant base. We define the comparable restaurant base to include those restaurants open for a full 18 months before the beginning of the period measured excluding restaurants permanently closed during the period. Comparable restaurant sales can be impacted by changes in guest traffic counts or by changes in the per person average check amount. Menu price changes, the mix of menu items sold, and the mix of dine-in versus to-go sales can affect the per person average check amount.

Average Unit Volume.   Average unit volume represents the average quarterly or annual restaurant sales for Texas Roadhouse and Bubba’s 33 restaurants open for a full six months before the beginning of the period measured excluding sales of restaurants permanently closed during the period. Historically, average unit volume growth is less than comparable restaurant sales growth which indicates that newer restaurants are operating with sales levels lower than the company average. At times, average unit volume growth may be more than comparable restaurant sales growth which indicates that newer restaurants are operating with sales levels higher than the company average.

Store Weeks.   Store weeks represent the number of weeks that ourall company restaurants, unless otherwise noted, were open during the reporting period. Store weeks include weeks in which a restaurant is temporarily closed.

Restaurant Margin. Restaurant margin (in dollars and as a percentage of restaurant and other sales) represents restaurant and other sales less restaurant-level operating costs, including food and beverage costs, labor, rent and other operating costs. Restaurant margin also includes sales and operating costs related to the Company’s non-royalty based retail initiatives. Restaurant margin is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative, to income from operations. This non-GAAP measure is not indicative of overall company performance and profitability in that this measure does not accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders due to the nature of the costs excluded. Restaurant margin is widely regarded as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance. In calculating restaurant margin, we exclude certain non-restaurant-level costs that support operations, including pre-opening and general and administrative expenses, but do not have a direct impact on restaurant-level operational efficiency and performance. We also exclude depreciation and amortization expense, substantially all of which relates to restaurant-level assets, as it represents a non-cash charge for the investment in our restaurants. We also exclude impairment and closure expense as we believe this provides a clearer perspective of the Company’s ongoing operating performance and a more useful comparison to prior period results. Restaurant margin as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry. A reconciliation of income from operations to restaurant margin is included in the Results of Operations section below.

Other Key Definitions

Restaurant and Other Sales.   Restaurant sales include gross food and beverage sales, net of promotions and discounts, for all company restaurants.

These amounts are amortized consistent with the historic redemption pattern of the associated gift card or on actual redemptions in periods where redemptions do not align with historic redemption patterns. Other sales also include sales related to our non-royalty-based retail products.

Franchise Royalties and Fees.   Franchise royalties consist of royalties, as defined in our franchise agreement, paid to us by our domestic and international franchisees. Franchise royalties also include sales related to our royalty-based retail products. Domestic and/or international franchisees also typically pay an initial franchise fee and/or development fee for each new restaurant or territory.

On average, overapproximately 70% of total pre-opening costs incurred per restaurant opening relate to the hiring and training of employees. Pre-opening costs vary by location depending on many factors, including the size and physical layout of each location; the number of management and hourly employees required to operate each restaurant; the availability of qualified restaurant staff members; the cost of travel and lodging for different geographic areas; the timing of the restaurant opening; and the extent of unexpected delays, if any, in obtaining final licenses and permits to open the restaurants.

The increase in comparable restaurant salesQ3 2022 guest traffic counts was due to an increase in dining room traffic partially offset by a decrease in to-go traffic. The increase in 2022 YTD guest traffic counts was primarily driven by the re-opening of our dining rooms, the continued easing of dining room capacity and seating restrictions throughout 2021, and continued strong to-go sales. Comparable restaurant sales increased 30.2% in Q3 2021, which included guest traffic count growth of 23.6% and per person average check growth of 6.6%. Comparable restaurant sales increased 39.5% in YTD 2021, which included guest traffic count growth of 29.1% and per person average check growth of 10.4%.

The change was driven by favorable adjustments of $6.6 million and ($6.3) million for 2021 YTD and 2020 YTD, respectively. The increase in both periods was primarily related to a favorable adjustment of $4.8 million recorded in Q3 2021. This adjustment primarily2022 and Q3 2021, respectively. These adjustments related to a change in our estimate of breakage due to a shift in our historic redemption patternpatterns which indicated that the percentage of gift cards sold that are not expected to be redeemed had shifted from 4.0%increased. This shift in redemption patterns is primarily due to 4.5%.the increase in sales through our third party gift card program. As a result, we adjusted our expected breakage assumptions on unredeemed gift cards.

Segment Information

We manage our restaurant and franchising operations by concept and as a result have identified Texas Roadhouse, Bubba's 33, Jaggers, and our retail initiatives as separate operating segments. Our reportable segments are Texas Roadhouse and Bubba's 33. The Texas Roadhouse reportable segment includes the results of our domestic company Texas Roadhouse restaurants and domestic and international franchise Texas Roadhouse restaurants. The Bubba's 33 reportable segment includes the results of our domestic company Bubba's 33 restaurants. Our remaining operating segments, which include the results of our domestic company Jaggers restaurants and the results of our retail initiatives, are included in Other.

Management uses restaurant margin as the measure for assessing performance of our segments. Restaurant margin (in dollars and as a percentage of restaurant and other sales) represents restaurant and other sales less restaurant-level operating costs, including food and beverage costs, labor, rent and other operating costs. Restaurant margin also includes sales and operating costs related to our non-royalty based retail initiatives. Restaurant margin is used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance. A reconciliation of income from operations to restaurant margin is included in the Results of Operations section above.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $395.1 million in 2022 YTD compared to $348.7 million in 2021 YTD compared to $146.0 million in 2020 YTD. This increase was primarily due to an increase in net income, non-cash items such as depreciation and anamortization and a favorable increase in deferred income taxes. These changes were primarily due to our operations stabilizing compared to the prior year period. These increases were partially offset by our working capital being negatively impacted by the remittance of our deferred payroll tax liability of $24.3 million related to the CARES Act.capital.

Our operations have not required significant working capital and, like many restaurant companies, we have been able to operate with negative working capital, if necessary. Sales are primarily for cash, and restaurant operations do not require significant inventories or receivables. In addition, we receive trade credit for the purchase of food, beverages and supplies, thereby reducing the need for incremental working capital to support growth.

Net cash used in investing activities was $195.6 million in 2022 YTD compared to $133.4 million in 2021 YTD compared to $115.3 million in 2020 YTD. The increase was due to the acquisition of eight franchise restaurants for a net purchase price of $33.1 million as well as an increase in capital expenditures, primarily driven by an increase in new company restaurants and an increase in refurbishments and relocations of existing restaurants. This was due to the delay in our development schedule in 2020 due to the pandemic. This increase was partially offset by fewer expenditures related to relocation sites.

We require capital principally for the development of new company restaurants, the refurbishment or relocation of existing restaurants and the acquisition of franchise restaurants, if any.  We either lease our restaurant site locations under operating leases for periods of five to 30 years (including renewal periods) or purchase the land when appropriate. As of September 28, 2021,27, 2022, we had developed 148 of the 555587 company restaurants on land that we own.

Our future capital requirements will primarily depend on the number and mix of new restaurants we open, the timing of those openings and the restaurant prototype developed in a given fiscal year. These requirements will include costs directly related to opening new restaurants or relocating existing restaurants and may also include costs necessary to ensure that our infrastructure is able to support a larger restaurant base. In 2021,2022, we expect our capital expenditures to be approximately $200.0$230 million and we currently plan to open 26 to 29 restaurants across all concepts.as many as 23 Texas Roadhouse and Bubba’s 33 restaurants.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on variable rate debt and changes in commodity prices. Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations is limited to our outstanding bank debt. The terms of the amended revolving credit facility require us to pay interest on outstanding borrowings at London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus a margin of 0.875% to 1.875% and pay a commitment fee of 0.125% to 0.30% per year on any unused portion of the revolving credit facility, in each case depending on our leverage ratio. The amended revolving credit facility also provides an Alternate Base Rate that may be substituted for LIBOR. As of September 28, 2021,27, 2022, we had $190.0$75.0 million outstanding on our amended credit agreement. This outstanding amount is included as long-term debt on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.sheets.

The weighted-average interest rate for the $190.0$75.0 million outstanding on our amended revolving credit facility as of September 28, 202127, 2022 was 0.96%3.69%. Should interest rates based on these variable rate borrowings increase by one percentage point, our estimated annual interest expense would increase by $1.9$0.8 million.

In an effort to secure high quality, low-cost ingredients used in the products sold in our restaurants, we employ various purchasing and pricing contract techniques. When purchasing certain types of commodities, we may be subject

Table of Contents

to prevailing market conditions resulting in unpredictable price volatility. For certain commodities, we may also enter into contracts for terms of one year or less that are either fixed price agreements or fixed volume agreements where the price is negotiated with reference to fluctuating market prices. We currently do not use financial instruments to hedge commodity prices, but we will continue to evaluate their effectiveness. Extreme and/or long-term increases in commodity prices could adversely affect our future results, especially if we are unable, primarily due to competitive reasons, to increase menu prices. Additionally, if there is a time lag between the increasing commodity prices and our ability to increase menu prices or if we believe the commodity price increase to be short in duration and we choose not to pass on the cost increases, our short-term financial results could be negatively affected.
