(1) The Company and Basis of Presentation | |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Ruth’s Hospitality Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) as of June 29, 2014 and December 29, 2013 and for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Ruth’s Hospitality Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |
Ruth’s Hospitality Group, Inc. is a leading restaurant company focused on the upscale dining segment. Ruth’s Hospitality Group operates the Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Mitchell’s Fish Market and Cameron’s Steakhouse restaurants and sells franchise rights to Ruth’s Chris Steak House franchisees giving the franchisees the exclusive right to operate similar restaurants in a particular location designated in a franchise agreement. As of June 29, 2014, there were 161 restaurants in operation, including 140 Ruth’s Chris Steak House restaurants (of which 64 were Company-owned, 75 were franchisee-owned, and one location operated under a management agreement), eighteen Mitchell’s Fish Markets and three Cameron’s Steakhouse restaurants. The Mitchell’s Fish Market and Cameron’s Steakhouse restaurants are entirely Company-owned and located primarily in the Midwest and Florida. | |
All Company-owned restaurants are located in the United States. The franchisee-owned restaurants include eighteen international franchisee-owned restaurants in Aruba, Canada, China (Hong Kong and Shanghai), El Salvador, Japan, Mexico, Singapore, Taiwan and the United Arab Emirates. In January 2014, the Company opened a new Ruth’s Chris Steak House restaurant in Denver, CO and in February 2014, the Company acquired the franchisee-owned restaurant located in Austin, TX. A new franchisee-owned restaurant opened in Boise, ID in February 2014. Due to an expiring lease term, the Company closed the Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Kansas City, MO in March 2014 after seventeen years of operation. Due to local market conditions and disappointing financial results, the Company negotiated an early termination of the Stamford, CT Mitchell’s Fish Market facility lease and closed the Stamford restaurant in March 2014. | |
The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. The interim results of operations for the periods ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally presented in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013. | |
The Company operates on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in December. The fiscal quarters ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 each contained thirteen weeks and are referred to herein as the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 and the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, respectively. Fiscal years 2014 and 2013 both contain 52-weeks. | |
Estimates | |
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reporting of revenue and expenses during the periods to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amounts of property and equipment, goodwill, franchise rights, trademarks and obligations related to contingent liabilities, gift cards, workers’ compensation and medical insurance. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |
Reclassifications | |
The operating results of closed locations (see Note 8) have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of income. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income. | |
Gift Card Breakage Revenue | |
The portion of gift cards sold to customers which are never redeemed is commonly referred to as gift card breakage. Prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company recognized breakage revenue using the delayed method of accounting. At the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company elected to change its policy for recognizing gift card breakage revenue by changing from the delayed method to the preferable redemption method of accounting. Under the redemption method, breakage revenue is recognized and the gift card liability is derecognized for unredeemed gift cards in proportion to actual gift card redemptions. The impact of the cumulative catch-up adjustment was recorded at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. Consistent with the cumulative catch-up method of accounting for a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle, previously issued financial statements were not revised. | |
Gift card breakage revenue recognized in the second quarters of fiscal years 2014 and 2013 was $642 thousand and $2.3 million, respectively. Gift card breakage revenue recognized in the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal years 2014 and 2013 was $1.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively. Gift card breakage revenue is classified as a component of other operating revenue. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements for Future Application | |
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” which changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 requires that an entity report as a discontinued operation only a disposal that represents a strategic shift in operations that has a major effect on its operations and financial results. ASU 2014-08 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted, but only for a disposal (or classification as held for sale) that has not been reported in financial statements previously issued or made available for issuance. The ASU must be applied prospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, but does not believe that it will have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations or on the financial position, except that individual restaurants closed after the adoption of the guidance will generally not be classified as discontinued operations. | |
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. |

As of June 29, 2014, the Company had an aggregate of $22 million of outstanding indebtedness under its senior credit facility at a weighted average interest rate of 3.26% with approximately $73.9 million of borrowings available, net of outstanding letters of credit of approximately $4.1 million. The 3.26% weighted average rate includes a 2.19% interest rate on outstanding indebtedness, plus fees on the Company’s unused borrowing capacity and outstanding letters of credit. | |||||||||
On February 14, 2012, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, as administrative agent, and certain other lenders (the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement allows for loan advances plus outstanding letters of credit of up to $100 million to be outstanding at any time that the conditions for borrowings are met. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement sets the interest rates applicable to borrowings based on the Company’s actual leverage ratio, ranging (a) from 2.00% to 2.75% above the applicable LIBOR rate or (b) at the Company’s option, from 1.00% to 1.75% above the applicable base rate. | |||||||||
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary covenants and restrictions, including, but not limited to: (1) prohibitions on incurring additional indebtedness and from guaranteeing obligations of others; (2) prohibitions on creating, incurring, assuming or permitting to exist any lien on or with respect to any property or asset; (3) limitations on the Company’s ability to enter into joint ventures, acquisitions, and other investments; (4) prohibitions on directly or indirectly creating or becoming liable with respect to certain contingent liabilities; and (5) restrictions on directly or indirectly declaring, ordering, paying, or making any restricted junior payments. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25:1.00 and the maximum leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00. The agreement was amended in May 2013 to reset the limit applicable to junior stock payments, which include both cash dividend payments and repurchase of common and preferred stock. Junior stock payments made subsequent to December 30, 2012 through the end of the agreement are limited to $100 million; $14.6 million of such payments had been made as of June 29, 2014. The Company’s obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of its existing and future subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of its assets and a pledge of the capital stock of its subsidiaries. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement includes customary events of default. As of June 29, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. |

In May 2013, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a common stock repurchase program. Under the program, the Company may from time to time purchase up to $30 million of its outstanding common stock. The share repurchases will be made at the Company’s discretion in the open market or in negotiated transactions depending on share price, market conditions or other factors. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares. No shares were repurchased during fiscal year 2013. During the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal year 2014, 541,190 shares were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $6.7 million or an average cost of $12.45 per share. The share repurchases were accounted for under the cost method and all repurchased shares were retired and cancelled. The excess of the purchase price over the par value of the shares was recorded as a reduction in additional paid-in capital. | |||||||||||
The Company’s Board of Directors declared the following dividends payable to holders of common and restricted stock during the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2014 and the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013 (amounts in thousands except per share amounts): | |||||||||||

(5) Segment Information | ||||||||||||||||||
The Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Mitchell’s Fish Market and Cameron’s Steakhouse restaurant concepts in North America are managed as operating segments. The concepts operate within the full-service dining industry, providing similar products to similar customers. Revenues from external customers are derived principally from food and beverage sales. The Company also manages its franchise operating as an operating segment. The Company does not rely on any major customers as a source of revenue. | ||||||||||||||||||
For financial reporting purposes, the Company has determined that it has three reportable segments: Company-owned steakhouse restaurants, Company-owned fish market restaurants, and franchise operations. The Company-owned Ruth’s Chris Steak House and Cameron’s Steakhouse restaurants are both included in the Company-owned steakhouse restaurant segment. As of June 29, 2014, (i) the Company-owned steakhouse restaurant segment included 64 Ruth’s Chris Steak House restaurants, three Cameron’s Steakhouse restaurants and one Ruth’s Chris Steak House restaurant operating under a management agreement, (ii) the Company-owned fish market restaurant segment included eighteen Mitchell’s Fish Market restaurants and (iii) the franchise operations segment included franchisee-owned Ruth’s Chris Steak House restaurants. Because the Company-owned steakhouse restaurant operating margins, measured by segment profit as a percentage of segment revenue, have been greater than the operating margins of the Company-owned fish market restaurants, the results of those segments are reported separately. Segment profits for the Company-owned steakhouse and fish market restaurant segments equals segment revenues less segment expenses. Segment revenues for the Company-owned steakhouse and fish market restaurant segments include restaurant sales, management agreement income and other restaurant income. Gift card breakage revenue is not allocated to operating segments. Not all operating expenses are allocated to operating segments. Segment expenses for the Company-owned steakhouse and fish market restaurant segments include food and beverage costs and restaurant operating expenses. No other operating costs are allocated to the segments for the purpose of determining segment profits because such costs are not directly related to the operation of individual restaurants. Except for health care costs, the accounting policies applicable to each segment are consistent with the policies used to prepare the consolidated financial statements; health care costs are allocated to the Company-owned steakhouse and fish market restaurant segments based on annual budgeted health care costs. | ||||||||||||||||||
As of June 29, 2014, there were 75 Ruth’s Chris Steak House franchise locations, including eighteen international locations. During the second quarters of fiscal years 2014 and 2013, franchise income attributable to international locations was $778 thousand and $720 thousand, respectively. During the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal years 2014 and 2013, franchise income attributable to international locations was $1.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The profit of the franchise operations segment equals franchise income, which consists of franchise royalty fees and franchise opening fees. No costs are allocated to the franchise operations segment. | ||||||||||||||||||

Income tax expense (benefit) is allocated to discontinued operations based on the marginal tax impact of discontinued operations. The Company’s effective tax rate for combined income from continuing operations and discontinued operations was 30.9% and 26.9% for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal years 2014 and 2013, respectively. | |||||||||
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company recognized a state income tax benefit for employment-related tax credits aggregating $1.0 million based on qualified employee wages during the years 2006 through 2012. These prior year state tax credits resulted in a discrete $600 thousand reduction (net of federal and state tax consequences) in income tax expense. Approximately half of the benefit will be realized on a carryback basis by amending prior year state income tax returns and management expects that the remainder of the benefit will be realized on a carryforward basis. Pursuant to state legislation enacted in July 2013, restaurant companies will not be able to claim credits for employees hired after January 1, 2014 and the carryforward period for existing credits is limited to ten years. | |||||||||
The Company files consolidated and separate income tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction and many state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal income or state tax examinations for years before 2010. |

The Company accounts for the exit costs in accordance with the provisions of “Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations,” FASB ASC Topic 420, which requires that such costs be expensed in the periods when such costs are incurred. All of the losses incurred are included in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. In August 2005, the Company ceased operations at its location near the United Nations in Manhattan. The Company has remaining lease commitments of $600 thousand per fiscal year through September 2016. The Company entered into a sublease agreement in April 2011 in order to recover some of the amounts due under the remaining lease term. As of December 30, 2012, the Company had recorded a contingent lease liability of $0.8 million related to this property which was recorded net of anticipated sublease income. In March 2013, the subtenant vacated the property. The Company has commenced legal proceedings to recover all amounts due from the subtenant. The resulting re-measurement of the lease liability included (a) the write-off of the anticipated sublease income and (b) the write-off of past due rent and utility amounts owed by the subtenant. The discontinued operations loss before income taxes for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal year 2013 includes a loss applicable to the location near the United Nations in Manhattan of $1.8 million (of which $1.7 million was recorded in the first quarter). The discontinued operations loss before income taxes for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal year 2014 includes a loss applicable to the location near the United Nations in Manhattan of $81 thousand. As of June 29, 2014, the recorded contingent lease liability was $1.5 million. | |||||||||||||||||
In addition to the location near the United Nations in Manhattan, discontinued operations for the interim periods of fiscal years 2014 and 2013 includes the results of two and three closed restaurants, respectively. Loss before income taxes for these closed restaurants aggregated $222 thousand and $156 thousand during the second quarters of fiscal years 2014 and 2013, respectively. Loss before income taxes for these closed restaurants aggregated $561 thousand and $301 thousand during the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal years 2014 and 2013, respectively. Due to an expiring lease term, the Company closed the Company-owned Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Kansas City, MO in March 2014 after seventeen years of operation. Due to local market conditions and disappointing financial results, the Company negotiated an early termination of the Stamford, CT Mitchell’s Fish Market facility lease and closed the Stamford restaurant in March 2014. Due to an expiring lease term, the Company closed the Company-owned Ruth’s Chris Steak House restaurant in Phoenix, AZ in March 2013 after twenty-seven years of operation. The results of operations for closed locations for all periods prior to closings have been reclassified and are now included in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. |

(10) Commitments and Contingencies | |
The Company is subject to various claims, possible legal actions and other matters arising in the normal course of business. Management does not expect disposition of these other matters to have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company. The Company expenses legal fees as incurred. | |
The legislation and regulations related to tax and unclaimed property matters are complex and subject to varying interpretations by both government authorities and taxpayers. The Company remits a variety of taxes and fees to various governmental authorities, including excise taxes, property taxes, sales and use taxes, and payroll taxes. The taxes and fees remitted by the Company are subject to review and audit by the applicable governmental authorities which could assert claims for additional assessments. Although management believes that the tax positions are reasonable and consequently there are no accrued liabilities for claims which may be asserted, various taxing authorities may challenge certain of the positions taken by the Company which may result in additional liability for taxes and interest. These tax positions are reviewed periodically based on the availability of new information, the lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, the conclusion of tax audits, the identification of new tax contingencies, or the rendering of relevant court decisions. An unfavorable resolution of assessments by a governmental authority could negatively impact the Company’s results of operations and cash flows in future periods. | |
The Company is subject to unclaimed or abandoned property (escheat) laws which require the Company to turn over to certain state governmental authorities the property of others held by the Company that has been unclaimed for specified periods of time. The Company is subject to audit by individual U.S. states with regard to its escheatment practices. During fiscal year 2012, the Company agreed to pay $2.5 million to settle certain potential liabilities pertaining to unclaimed property returns which had not been filed timely, which was paid during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. During fiscal year 2014, management expects to enter into settlement discussions with other states in an effort to settle potential liabilities pertaining to unclaimed property returns which have not been filed timely. Management does not expect the settlement of these potential liabilities to have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company. | |
The Company sells a considerable number of gift cards, which are issued and administered by a third party gift card issuer and service provider, consistent with common retail industry practice. Gift card breakage revenue is recognized using the redemption method of accounting and all gift cards presented by customers are honored even when breakage revenue has previously been recognized. The third party gift card issuer and service provider, as well as a number of other restaurant companies, retailers and gift card issuers, were named as defendants in an action filed under seal in June 2013 by William French on behalf of the State of Delaware in the Superior Court of Delaware in and for New Castle County alleging violations of Delaware law. The filing was unsealed in March 2014. The complaint alleges that approximately $30 million with respect to unused gift cards should be escheated by the Company to the State of Delaware and seeks interest and penalties, attorneys’ fees and costs, and an injunction against alleged future violations of Delaware’s unclaimed property laws. The Company has not yet been served with the complaint. The Company believes that it is in compliance with Delaware’s unclaimed property laws and intends to defend its position vigorously if served. To protect its interests, the Company has joined in a notice to remove the case to federal district court, which was filed in May 2014, and a motion to dismiss filed by all defendants in June 2014. | |
The Company currently buys a majority of its beef from two suppliers. Although there are a limited number of beef suppliers, management believes that other suppliers could provide similar product on comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause supply shortages and a possible loss of sales, which would affect operating results adversely. |
