Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation	Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation Description of the Business - Bloomin’ Brands, Inc., through its subsidiaries (“Bloomin’ Brands” or the “Company”), owns and operates casual, upscale casual and fine dining restaurants. The Company’s restaurant portfolio has four concepts: Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar. Each of the Company’s concepts has additional restaurants in which it has no direct investment and are operated under franchise agreements. Basis of Presentation - The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary for fair financial statement presentation for the periods presented have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 . Recently Adopted Financial Accounting Standards - On January 1, 2018, the Company elected to early adopt Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” (“ASU No. 2017-04”) on a prospective basis. ASU No. 2017-04 eliminates the second step of goodwill impairment, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under ASU No. 2017-04, goodwill impairment is calculated as the amount a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its calculated fair value. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-04 did not impact the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, as of the first day of the second fiscal quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company performed its annual assessment for impairment of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets during the second quarters of 2018 and 2017. In connection with these assessments, the Company did not record any goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible impairment charges. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue Recognition (Topic 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU No. 2014-09”) using the full retrospective transition method. Under ASU No. 2014-09, revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration an entity expects to receive for the transfer of goods and services. The standard also requires additional disclosures about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Under the new standard, the Company recognizes gift card breakage proportional to redemptions, which are highest in the Company’s first fiscal quarter. Previously, under the remote method, the majority of breakage revenue was recorded in the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter corresponding with the timing of the original gift card sale. Advertising fees charged to franchisees, which were previously recorded as a reduction to Other restaurant operating expenses, are recognized as Franchise revenue. In addition, initial franchise and renewal fees are recognized over the term of the franchise agreements. In connection with adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, a cumulative effect adjustment of $33.1 million , net of tax, was recorded as a credit to the ending balance of Accumulated deficit as of December 27, 2015. The following table includes a restatement of the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the retrospective adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 during the periods indicated: THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JUNE 25, 2017 JUNE 25, 2017 (dollars in thousands, except per share data) AS REPORTED 2014-09 IMPACT AS RESTATED AS REPORTED 2014-09 IMPACT AS RESTATED Revenues Restaurant sales $ 1,019,957 $ 1,227 $ 1,021,184 $ 2,155,445 $ 9,570 $ 2,165,015 Franchise and other revenues 13,025 2,249 15,274 21,360 4,794 26,154 Total revenues $ 1,032,982 $ 3,476 $ 1,036,458 $ 2,176,805 $ 14,364 $ 2,191,169 Costs and expenses Other restaurant operating $ 244,124 $ 4,288 $ 248,412 $ 492,064 $ 7,472 $ 499,536 Income from operations $ 42,154 $ (812 ) $ 41,342 $ 111,284 $ 6,892 $ 118,176 Income before provision for income taxes $ 39,632 $ (812 ) $ 38,820 $ 99,570 $ 6,892 $ 106,462 Provision for income taxes $ 3,303 $ (315 ) $ 2,988 $ 18,318 $ 2,674 $ 20,992 Net income $ 36,329 $ (497 ) $ 35,832 $ 81,252 $ 4,218 $ 85,470 Net income attributable to Bloomin’ Brands $ 35,630 $ (497 ) $ 35,133 $ 79,540 $ 4,218 $ 83,758 Basic earnings per share $ 0.36 $ (0.01 ) $ 0.36 $ 0.79 $ 0.04 $ 0.83 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.35 $ — $ 0.34 $ 0.76 $ 0.04 $ 0.80 The following table includes a restatement of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017 for the retrospective adoption of ASU No. 2014-09: DECEMBER 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands) AS REPORTED 2014-09 IMPACT AS RESTATED ASSETS Deferred income tax assets, net $ 71,499 $ (11,013 ) $ 60,486 Total assets $ 2,572,907 $ (11,013 ) $ 2,561,894 LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Unearned revenue Deferred gift card revenue $ 371,455 $ (47,827 ) $ 323,628 Deferred loyalty revenue 6,667 — 6,667 Deferred franchise fees - current 105 356 461 Total Unearned revenue $ 378,227 $ (47,471 ) $ 330,756 Total current liabilities $ 860,863 $ (47,471 ) $ 813,392 Other long-term liabilities, net (1) $ 205,745 $ 4,698 $ 210,443 Total liabilities $ 2,523,436 $ (42,773 ) $ 2,480,663 Bloomin’ Brands Stockholders’ Equity Accumulated deficit $ (944,951 ) $ 31,760 $ (913,191 ) Total Bloomin’ Brands stockholders’ equity $ 38,582 $ 31,760 $ 70,342 Total stockholders’ equity $ 49,471 $ 31,760 $ 81,231 Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity $ 2,572,907 $ (11,013 ) $ 2,561,894 ____________________ (1) Includes the non-current portion of deferred franchise fees. See Note 2 - Revenue Recognition for required disclosures under ASU No. 2014-09. Effective June 26, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash” (“ASU No. 2016-18”). ASU No. 2016-18 provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, which are now included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending cash amounts shown on the statements of cash flows. Using the retrospective transition method required under the standard, the Company has adjusted the presentation of its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the period presented. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-18 did not have any other impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The following table provides additional details by financial statement line item of the restated presentation in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2017 : TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JUNE 25, 2017 (dollars in thousands) AS REPORTED 2016-18 IMPACT AS RESTATED Cash flows used in investing activities: Decrease in restricted cash $ 14,969 $ (14,969 ) $ — Increase in restricted cash $ (5,957 ) $ 5,957 $ — Net cash used in investing activities $ (24,589 ) $ (9,012 ) $ (33,601 ) Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ (23,702 ) $ (9,010 ) $ (32,712 ) Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of the beginning of the period 127,176 9,010 136,186 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of the end of the period $ 103,474 $ — $ 103,474 Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted - In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02: “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU No. 2016-02”). ASU No. 2016-02 requires the lease rights and obligations arising from lease contracts, including existing and new arrangements, to be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for the Company in 2019 and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. In preparation for adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, the Company has implemented a new lease accounting system. The Company is currently evaluating practical expedients and accounting policy elections, and assessing the overall financial statement impact. The Company expects the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 to have a significant impact on its Consolidated Balance Sheets due to recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to real estate and equipment under operating lease agreements, but will likely have an insignificant impact on its Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company’s evaluation of ASU No. 2016-02 is ongoing and may identify additional impacts on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU No. 2017-12”) which provides guidance for reporting the economic results of hedging activities and to simplify the disclosures of risk exposures and hedging strategies. ASU No. 2017-12 will be effective for the Company in 2019, with early adoption permitted and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Reclassifications - The Company reclassified certain items in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods to be comparable with the classification for the current period.

(2) See Note 1 - Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation for details of the impact of implementing ASU No. 2014-09. Gift Card Revenue - Proceeds from the sale of gift cards, which do not have expiration dates, are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue upon redemption by the customer. Gift cards sold at a discount are recorded as revenue upon redemption of the associated gift cards at an amount net of the related discount. Gift card breakage, the amount of gift cards which will not be redeemed, is recognized using estimates based on historical redemption patterns. If actual redemptions vary from the estimated breakage, gift card breakage income may differ from the amount recorded. The Company periodically updates its estimates used for breakage. Gift card sales that are accompanied by a bonus card to be used by the customer at a future visit result in a separate deferral of a portion of the original gift card sale. Revenue is recorded when the bonus card is redeemed at the estimated fair market value of the bonus card. Approximately 87% of the current deferred gift card revenue is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months. Gift card sales commissions paid to third-party providers are initially capitalized and subsequently amortized to Other restaurant operating expenses based on historical gift card redemption patterns. Advertising Fees - Advertising fees charged to franchisees are recognized as Franchise revenue in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income . Franchise Fees - Initial franchise and renewal fees are recognized over the term of the franchise agreement and renewal period, respectively. The weighted average remaining term of franchise agreements and renewal periods was approximately 15 years as of July 1, 2018 . Loyalty Program - The Company maintains a customer loyalty program, Dine Rewards, in the U.S., where customers have the ability to earn a reward after a number of qualified visits. The Company has developed an estimated value of the partial reward earned from each qualified visit, which is recorded as deferred revenue. Each reward has a maximum value and must be redeemed within three months of earning such reward. The revenue associated with the fair value of the qualified visit is recognized upon the earlier of redemption or expiration of the reward. The Company applies the practical expedient to exclude disclosures regarding loyalty program remaining performance obligations which have original expected durations of one year or less.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Fair value is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, or the exit price, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value is categorized into one of the following three levels based on the lowest level of significant input: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 Observable inputs available at measurement date other than quoted prices included in Level 1 Level 3 Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis - The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by hierarchy level on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated: JULY 1, 2018 DECEMBER 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands) TOTAL LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 TOTAL LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 Assets: Cash equivalents: Fixed income funds $ 5,360 $ 5,360 $ — $ 1,830 $ 1,830 $ — Money market funds 10,367 10,367 — 24,656 24,656 — Restricted cash equivalents: Money market funds 4,521 4,521 — 1,280 1,280 — Other current assets, net Derivative instruments - interest rate swaps 1,162 — 1,162 — — — Other assets, net: Derivative instruments - interest rate swaps — — — 67 — 67 Total asset recurring fair value measurements $ 21,410 $ 20,248 $ 1,162 $ 27,833 $ 27,766 $ 67 Liabilities: Accrued and other current liabilities: Derivative instruments - interest rate swaps $ — $ — $ — $ 1,010 $ — $ 1,010 Total liability recurring fair value measurements $ — $ — $ — $ 1,010 $ — $ 1,010 Fair value of each class of financial instrument is determined based on the following: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS Fixed income funds and Money market funds Carrying value approximates fair value because maturities are less than three months. Derivative instruments The Company’s derivative instruments include interest rate swaps. Fair value measurements are based on the contractual terms of the derivatives and use observable market-based inputs. The interest rate swaps are valued using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative using observable inputs including interest rate curves and credit spreads. The Company also considers its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk when performing fair value measurements. As of July 1, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis - Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to property, fixtures and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, which are remeasured when carrying value exceeds fair value. The following table summarizes the Company’s assets measured at fair value by hierarchy level on a nonrecurring basis: THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JULY 1, 2018 JULY 1, 2018 (dollars in thousands) CARRYING VALUE (1) TOTAL IMPAIRMENT CARRYING VALUE (1) TOTAL IMPAIRMENT Assets held for sale $ — $ — $ 50 $ 50 Property, fixtures and equipment 1,060 4,721 1,380 6,942 $ 1,060 $ 4,721 $ 1,430 $ 6,992 THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JUNE 25, 2017 JUNE 25, 2017 (dollars in thousands) CARRYING VALUE (1) TOTAL IMPAIRMENT CARRYING VALUE (1) TOTAL IMPAIRMENT Assets held for sale $ — $ — $ 400 $ 70 Property, fixtures and equipment — 12 1,067 862 $ — $ 12 $ 1,467 $ 932 ________________ (1) Carrying value approximates fair value with all assets measured using third-party market appraisals or purchase contracts (Level 2). Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company’s non-derivative financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and current and long-term debt. The fair values of cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets due to their short duration. Debt is carried at amortized cost; however, the Company estimates the fair value of debt for disclosure purposes. The following table includes the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s debt by hierarchy level as of the dates indicated: JULY 1, 2018 DECEMBER 31, 2017 CARRYING VALUE FAIR VALUE CARRYING VALUE FAIR VALUE (dollars in thousands) LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 Senior Secured Credit Facility: Term loan A $ 487,500 $ 486,281 $ — $ 500,000 $ 502,500 $ — Revolving credit facility $ 633,500 $ 631,916 $ — $ 600,000 $ 598,500 $ — Other notes payable $ 141 $ — $ 135 $ 904 $ — $ 891 Fair value of debt is determined based on the following: DEBT FACILITY METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS Senior Secured Credit Facility Quoted market prices in inactive markets.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JULY 1, 2018 JUNE 25, 2017 JULY 1, 2018 JUNE 25, 2017 Effective income tax rate (23.7 )% 7.7 % (3.6 )% 19.7 % The effective income tax rate for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2018 decreased by 31.4 and 23.3 percentage points as compared to the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2017 , respectively. The decrease is primarily due to the reduction in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% as part of the legislation enacted in December 2017 known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), lower forecasted pre-tax income and excess tax benefits from equity-based compensation arrangements recorded in 2018, partially offset by a domestic manufacturing deduction recorded in 2017. The Company has a blended federal and state statutory rate of approximately 26% . The effective income tax rate for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2018 was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to the benefit of tax credits for FICA taxes on certain employees’ tips and excess tax benefits from equity-based compensation arrangements. The Company has applied guidance under SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 which allows for a measurement period up to one year after the December 22, 2017 enactment date of the Tax Act to complete the accounting requirements. As of July 1, 2018 , the Company made reasonable estimates of the effects of the Tax Act but has not completed its accounting for all tax effects. A provisional $7.5 million net tax expense was recorded during 2017. With the exception of the retrospective adjustment for the January 2018 adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, no adjustments were made to these provisional amounts during the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2018 . The Company is continuing to gather information and additional guidance is expected from the U.S. Treasury and state taxing authorities on the application of certain provisions of the Tax Act and will continue to make and refine its calculations as additional analysis is completed. The Company’s estimates may also be affected as it gains a more thorough understanding of the tax law. These changes could be material to income tax expense. The Company expects to complete its analysis within the year measurement period. In connection with its analysis of the impact of the Tax Act, the Company recorded a provisional net tax expense of $7.5 million in December 2017, as described in the following table: FISCAL YEAR (dollars in thousands) 2017 Transition Tax (provisional) $ 100 Net impact on U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities (provisional) (1) 1,600 Net changes in deferred tax liability associated with anticipated repatriation taxes (provisional) 200 Impact from the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 (provisional) 5,600 $ 7,500 ________________ (1) Includes $4.7 million of expense for a valuation allowance recorded against foreign tax credit carryforwards, $3.9 million of benefit from the impact of the corporate rate reduction on net deferred tax liability balances, and an expense of $0.8 million for the write-off of certain deferred tax assets that will no longer be realized. Items considered provisional include: Reduction of U.S. Federal Corporate Income Tax Rate - The Tax Act reduced the corporate income tax rate to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. While the Company is able to make a reasonable estimate of the impact of the reduction in corporate rate on its deferred tax assets and liabilities, it may be affected by other analyses related to the Tax Act, including, but not limited to, its calculation of deemed repatriation of deferred foreign income and the state tax effect of adjustments made to federal temporary differences. Deemed Repatriation Transition Tax - The Deemed Repatriation Transition Tax (“Transition Tax”) is a tax on previously untaxed accumulated and current earnings and profits (“E&P”) of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. To determine the amount of the Transition Tax, the Company must determine, in addition to other factors, the amount of post-1986 E&P of the relevant subsidiaries, as well as the amount of non-U.S. income taxes paid on such earnings. The Company is able to make a reasonable estimate of the Transition Tax and recorded a provisional amount. Due to the ability to utilize foreign tax credits in the calculation of the Transition Tax, the obligation primarily related to the estimated state impacts. However, the Company is continuing to gather additional information. Additional guidance from the U.S. Treasury and state taxing authorities on the application of certain provisions of the Tax Act is expected in the future. Valuation Allowances - The Company must assess whether its valuation allowance analyses or deferred tax assets are affected by various aspects of the Tax Act (e.g., deemed repatriation of deferred foreign income, global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) inclusions and new categories of foreign tax credits). While the Company did record an additional valuation allowance against foreign tax credit carryforwards, the Company has recorded provisional amounts related to certain portions of the Tax Act and any corresponding determination of the need for a change in a valuation allowance is also provisional. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Tax Act subjects a U.S. shareholder to tax on GILTI earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The FASB Staff Q&A, Topic 740, No. 5, Accounting for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, states that an entity can make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred. As of July 1, 2018 , the Company has not yet determined its accounting policy with regard to GILTI, and does not expect GILTI in 2018.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Litigation and Other Matters - The Company had $3.5 million and $4.3 million of liabilities recorded for various legal matters as of July 1, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and liabilities, such as liquor liability, slip and fall cases, wage-and-hour and other employment-related litigation, which arise in the ordinary course of business and are generally covered by insurance if they exceed specified retention or deductible amounts. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to those actions will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations and cash flows. Lease Guarantees - The Company assigned its interest, and is contingently liable, under certain real estate leases. These leases have varying terms, the latest of which expires in 2032 . As of July 1, 2018 , the undiscounted payments the Company could be required to make in the event of non-payment by the primary lessees was approximately $27.2 million . The present value of these potential payments discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of July 1, 2018 was approximately $18.7 million . In the event of default, the indemnity clauses in the Company’s purchase and sale agreements govern its ability to pursue and recover damages incurred. The Company believes the financial strength and operating history of the lessees’ significantly reduces the risk that it will be required to make payments under these leases. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation - The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary for fair financial statement presentation for the periods presented have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 .
Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards	Recently Adopted Financial Accounting Standards - On January 1, 2018, the Company elected to early adopt Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” (“ASU No. 2017-04”) on a prospective basis. ASU No. 2017-04 eliminates the second step of goodwill impairment, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under ASU No. 2017-04, goodwill impairment is calculated as the amount a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its calculated fair value. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-04 did not impact the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, as of the first day of the second fiscal quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company performed its annual assessment for impairment of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets during the second quarters of 2018 and 2017. In connection with these assessments, the Company did not record any goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible impairment charges. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue Recognition (Topic 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU No. 2014-09”) using the full retrospective transition method. Under ASU No. 2014-09, revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration an entity expects to receive for the transfer of goods and services. The standard also requires additional disclosures about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Under the new standard, the Company recognizes gift card breakage proportional to redemptions, which are highest in the Company’s first fiscal quarter. Previously, under the remote method, the majority of breakage revenue was recorded in the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter corresponding with the timing of the original gift card sale. Advertising fees charged to franchisees, which were previously recorded as a reduction to Other restaurant operating expenses, are recognized as Franchise revenue. In addition, initial franchise and renewal fees are recognized over the term of the franchise agreements. In connection with adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, a cumulative effect adjustment of $33.1 million , net of tax, was recorded as a credit to the ending balance of Accumulated deficit as of December 27, 2015. The following table includes a restatement of the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the retrospective adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 during the periods indicated: THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JUNE 25, 2017 JUNE 25, 2017 (dollars in thousands, except per share data) AS REPORTED 2014-09 IMPACT AS RESTATED AS REPORTED 2014-09 IMPACT AS RESTATED Revenues Restaurant sales $ 1,019,957 $ 1,227 $ 1,021,184 $ 2,155,445 $ 9,570 $ 2,165,015 Franchise and other revenues 13,025 2,249 15,274 21,360 4,794 26,154 Total revenues $ 1,032,982 $ 3,476 $ 1,036,458 $ 2,176,805 $ 14,364 $ 2,191,169 Costs and expenses Other restaurant operating $ 244,124 $ 4,288 $ 248,412 $ 492,064 $ 7,472 $ 499,536 Income from operations $ 42,154 $ (812 ) $ 41,342 $ 111,284 $ 6,892 $ 118,176 Income before provision for income taxes $ 39,632 $ (812 ) $ 38,820 $ 99,570 $ 6,892 $ 106,462 Provision for income taxes $ 3,303 $ (315 ) $ 2,988 $ 18,318 $ 2,674 $ 20,992 Net income $ 36,329 $ (497 ) $ 35,832 $ 81,252 $ 4,218 $ 85,470 Net income attributable to Bloomin’ Brands $ 35,630 $ (497 ) $ 35,133 $ 79,540 $ 4,218 $ 83,758 Basic earnings per share $ 0.36 $ (0.01 ) $ 0.36 $ 0.79 $ 0.04 $ 0.83 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.35 $ — $ 0.34 $ 0.76 $ 0.04 $ 0.80 The following table includes a restatement of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017 for the retrospective adoption of ASU No. 2014-09: DECEMBER 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands) AS REPORTED 2014-09 IMPACT AS RESTATED ASSETS Deferred income tax assets, net $ 71,499 $ (11,013 ) $ 60,486 Total assets $ 2,572,907 $ (11,013 ) $ 2,561,894 LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Unearned revenue Deferred gift card revenue $ 371,455 $ (47,827 ) $ 323,628 Deferred loyalty revenue 6,667 — 6,667 Deferred franchise fees - current 105 356 461 Total Unearned revenue $ 378,227 $ (47,471 ) $ 330,756 Total current liabilities $ 860,863 $ (47,471 ) $ 813,392 Other long-term liabilities, net (1) $ 205,745 $ 4,698 $ 210,443 Total liabilities $ 2,523,436 $ (42,773 ) $ 2,480,663 Bloomin’ Brands Stockholders’ Equity Accumulated deficit $ (944,951 ) $ 31,760 $ (913,191 ) Total Bloomin’ Brands stockholders’ equity $ 38,582 $ 31,760 $ 70,342 Total stockholders’ equity $ 49,471 $ 31,760 $ 81,231 Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity $ 2,572,907 $ (11,013 ) $ 2,561,894 ____________________ (1) Includes the non-current portion of deferred franchise fees. See Note 2 - Revenue Recognition for required disclosures under ASU No. 2014-09. Effective June 26, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash” (“ASU No. 2016-18”). ASU No. 2016-18 provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, which are now included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending cash amounts shown on the statements of cash flows. Using the retrospective transition method required under the standard, the Company has adjusted the presentation of its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the period presented. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-18 did not have any other impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The following table provides additional details by financial statement line item of the restated presentation in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2017 : TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JUNE 25, 2017 (dollars in thousands) AS REPORTED 2016-18 IMPACT AS RESTATED Cash flows used in investing activities: Decrease in restricted cash $ 14,969 $ (14,969 ) $ — Increase in restricted cash $ (5,957 ) $ 5,957 $ — Net cash used in investing activities $ (24,589 ) $ (9,012 ) $ (33,601 ) Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ (23,702 ) $ (9,010 ) $ (32,712 ) Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of the beginning of the period 127,176 9,010 136,186 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of the end of the period $ 103,474 $ — $ 103,474 Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted - In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02: “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU No. 2016-02”). ASU No. 2016-02 requires the lease rights and obligations arising from lease contracts, including existing and new arrangements, to be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for the Company in 2019 and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. In preparation for adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, the Company has implemented a new lease accounting system. The Company is currently evaluating practical expedients and accounting policy elections, and assessing the overall financial statement impact. The Company expects the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 to have a significant impact on its Consolidated Balance Sheets due to recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to real estate and equipment under operating lease agreements, but will likely have an insignificant impact on its Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company’s evaluation of ASU No. 2016-02 is ongoing and may identify additional impacts on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU No. 2017-12”) which provides guidance for reporting the economic results of hedging activities and to simplify the disclosures of risk exposures and hedging strategies. ASU No. 2017-12 will be effective for the Company in 2019, with early adoption permitted and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications - The Company reclassified certain items in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods to be comparable with the classification for the current period.

Fair value, assets measured on recurring basis, methods and assumptions	Fair value of each class of financial instrument is determined based on the following: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS Fixed income funds and Money market funds Carrying value approximates fair value because maturities are less than three months. Derivative instruments The Company’s derivative instruments include interest rate swaps. Fair value measurements are based on the contractual terms of the derivatives and use observable market-based inputs. The interest rate swaps are valued using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative using observable inputs including interest rate curves and credit spreads. The Company also considers its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk when performing fair value measurements. As of July 1, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives.
