NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise indicated)
1. ORGANIZATION
ClubCorp Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries CCA Club Operations Holdings, LLC (“Operations' Parent”) and ClubCorp Club Operations, Inc. (“Operations”, together with Holdings and Operations' Parent, “ClubCorp”) were formed on November 10, 2010, as part of a reorganization of ClubCorp, Inc. (“CCI”), which was effective as of November 30, 2010, for the purpose of operating and managing golf and country clubs, business, sports and alumni clubs. ClubCorp has two reportable segments (1) golf and country clubs and (2) business, sports and alumni clubs. As of October 15, 2013, the majority of Holdings' common stock is owned by Fillmore CCA Investment, LLC (“Fillmore”), which is wholly owned by an affiliate of KSL Capital Partners, LLC (“KSL”), a private equity fund that invests primarily in the hospitality and leisure business. ClubCorp, together with its subsidiaries, may be referred to as “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”.
On September 25, 2013, Holdings completed an initial public offering in which it sold 13,200,000 shares of common stock and Fillmore sold 4,800,000 shares. The offering generated net proceeds to Holdings of approximately $168.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. Holdings subsequently contributed the net proceeds to Operations. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock offered by Fillmore. See further discussion in Note 16.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation—The consolidated condensed financial statements reflect the consolidated operations of ClubCorp, its subsidiaries and certain variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The consolidated condensed financial statements presented herein reflect our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in equity in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or “GAAP”. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated.
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by Holdings and are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from the accompanying statements. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Holdings for the year ended December 25, 2012.
We believe that the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations and other factors such as timing of acquisitions and dispositions of facilities.
Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from such estimated amounts.
Revenue Recognition—Revenues from club operations, food and beverage and merchandise sales are recognized at the time of sale or when the service is provided and are reported net of sales taxes.
Revenues from membership dues are billed monthly and recognized in the period earned. The monthly dues are expected to cover the cost of providing membership services.
The majority of membership initiation deposits sold are not refundable until a fixed number of years (generally 30) after the date of acceptance of a member. We recognize revenue related to membership initiation deposits over the expected life of an active membership which is approximately six years for golf and country club memberships and approximately four years for business, sports and alumni club memberships. For membership initiation deposits, the difference between the amount paid by the member and the present value of the refund obligation is deferred and recognized within club operations revenue on the consolidated condensed statements of operations, on a straight-line basis over the expected life of an active membership. The present value of the refund obligation is recorded as a membership initiation deposit liability in the consolidated condensed balance sheets and accretes over the nonrefundable term using the effective interest method with an interest rate defined as our incremental borrowing rate adjusted to reflect a 30-year time frame. The accretion is included in interest expense.
The majority of membership initiation fees sold are not refundable and are deferred and recognized within club operations revenue on the consolidated condensed statements of operations, on a straight line basis over the expected life of an active membership.
Membership initiation fees and deposits recognized within club operations revenue on the consolidated condensed statements of operations was $4.2 million and $12.2 million for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013, respectively, and $3.5 million and $10.5 million, for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012, respectively.
Notes Receivable, Net of Allowances—Notes receivable reflect amounts due from our financing of membership initiation fees and deposits and typically range from one to six years in original maturity. We recognize interest income as earned and provide an allowance for doubtful accounts. This allowance is based on factors including the historical trends of write-offs and recoveries, the financial strength of the member and projected economic and market conditions.
Foreign Currency—The functional currency of our entities located outside the United States of America is the local currency. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate in effect at period-end. All foreign income and expenses are translated at the monthly weighted-average exchange rates during the year. Translation gains and losses are reported separately as a component of comprehensive loss, until realized. No translation gains or losses have been reclassified into earnings for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 and September 4, 2012. Realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in club operating costs.
Income Taxes—We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. If the position drops below the “more likely than not” standard, the benefit can no longer be recognized. Assumptions, judgment and the use of estimates are required in determining if the “more likely than not” standard has been met when developing the provision for income taxes. We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.
Equity‑Based Awards—Equity‑based unit awards were previously issued under a Management Profits Interest Program (“MPI”) which constituted grants of time-vesting non-voting profits interests in Fillmore. These awards entitled participants to participate in the appreciation of the value of Fillmore above an applicable threshold and thereby share in its future profits. Fillmore converted previously issued Class B units into Class A units, subject to remaining vesting periods, in connection with the ClubCorp Formation. Fillmore also granted 10,000.00 Class C units in connection with the ClubCorp Formation. As of September 3, 2013, there were 9,100.00 Class C units and 10,039.44 Class A units (including Converted Units) outstanding.
MPI participants could receive a distribution upon the occurrence of a liquidity event or upon the declaration of a distribution or dividend payment, in each case in accordance with the terms of the distribution “waterfall” set forth in Fillmore’s Second Amended and Restated LLC Agreement. Because the distributions would be contingent on the value of our Company at the time of such liquidity event, distribution, or dividend payment, no expense has been recognized relating to such awards as of September 3, 2013. In connection with the consummation of Holdings' initial public offering on September 25, 2013, the MPI participants, including our executives, employees, directors and consultants surrendered all Class A units (including Converted Units) and Class C units held by them in exchange for an aggregate of 2,251,027 shares of Holdings' common stock previously held by Fillmore, a portion of which will be restricted, subject to remaining time vesting requirements.
On April 1, 2012, Holdings granted 12,552 Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to certain executives under the ClubCorp Holdings, Inc. 2012 Stock Award Plan, which was amended and restated as of August 14, 2013 (the “Stock Plan”), and allows the holders to receive and maintain an interest in us, which interest may be measured by the value of the common stock of Holdings. The RSUs vest based on satisfaction of both a time condition subject to the holders' continued employment and a liquidity condition. The time condition is satisfied with respect to one‑third of the RSUs on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the holder remaining employed by us. The liquidity condition is satisfied upon the earlier of a change of control (as defined in the Stock Plan) or after a period of time following the effective date of an initial public offering by us.
Because the vesting of RSUs is contingent on the satisfaction of a liquidity condition, no expense has been recognized relating to such awards as of September 3, 2013. After giving effect to the 50 for 1 forward stock split and the 1.0113946 for 1 forward stock split (described in Note 14), 613,963 RSUs remain outstanding as of September 3, 2013. On March 15, 2014, the required time period following Holding's initial public offering will be satisfied and the liquidity vesting requirement will be met, at which time all then outstanding RSUs will be converted into shares of common stock, a portion of which will be restricted, subject to remaining time vesting requirements.
Subsequent to Holdings' initial public offering, we expect to record equity-based compensation expense of approximately $14.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2013 related to the unit awards previously issued and outstanding under the MPI program and all outstanding RSUs granted under the Stock Plan, to the extent the time vesting conditions have been satisfied. See Note 16.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02 (“ASU 2013-02”), Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The update clarifies how to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012 and is to be applied prospectively. Our adoption of this ASU in the first quarter of 2013 did not materially change the presentation of our consolidated condensed financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-04 (“ASU 2013-04”), Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed as the Reporting Date. ASU No. 2013-04 requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance in the update also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 (“ASU 2013-11”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. ASU No. 2013-11 clarifies that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements.
3. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Consolidated VIEs include three managed golf course properties and certain realty interests which we define as “Non‑Core Development Entities”. We have determined we are the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as we have the obligation to absorb the majority of losses from and direct activities of these operations. One of these managed golf course property VIEs is financed through a loan payable of $1.1 million collateralized by assets of the entity totaling $4.1 million as of September 3, 2013. The other managed golf course property VIEs are financed through advances from us. Outstanding advances as of September 3, 2013 total $3.3 million compared to recorded assets of $6.9 million.
The VIE related to certain Non‑Core Development Entities is financed through notes which are payable through cash proceeds related to the sale of certain real estate held by the Non‑Core Development Entities.
The following summarizes the carrying amount and classification of the VIEs’ assets and liabilities in the consolidated condensed balance sheets as of September 3, 2013 and December 25, 2012, net of intercompany amounts:

4. INVESTMENTS
Equity method investments in golf and business club ventures total $1.4 million and $1.3 million at September 3, 2013 and December 25, 2012, respectively, and include two golf club joint ventures and one business club joint venture. Our share of earnings in the equity investments is included in equity in earnings from unconsolidated ventures in the consolidated condensed statements of operations.
During the twelve weeks ended June 12, 2012, we determined that one of our equity method investments had a decrease in value that was other than temporary. We recognized an impairment loss of $0.7 million during the twelve weeks ended June 12, 2012 to adjust its carrying amount to its fair value. See Note 5. We recognized no additional impairment losses in the twelve weeks ended September 4, 2012 and we have not recognized any impairment losses in the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013. Additionally, we have one equity method investment of 10.2% in Avendra, LLC, a purchasing cooperative of hospitality companies. The carrying value of the investment was $7.3 million and $9.4 million at September 3, 2013 and December 25, 2012, respectively. Our share of earnings in the equity investment is included in equity in earnings from unconsolidated ventures in the consolidated condensed statements of operations. We have contractual agreements with the joint venture to provide procurement services for our clubs for which we received net volume rebates and allowances totaling $0.0 million and $2.1 million during the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013, respectively, and $0.0 million and $1.9 million during the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012, respectively. The difference between the carrying value of the investment and our share of the equity reflected in the joint venture’s financial statements at the time of the acquisition of the Company by affiliates of KSL was allocated to intangible assets of the joint venture and amortized over approximately 10 years beginning in 2007. The carrying value of these intangible assets was $6.6 million and $8.0 million at September 3, 2013 and December 25, 2012, respectively.
Our equity in net income from the investment described in the preceding paragraph is shown below:

5. FAIR VALUE
GAAP establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations. The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets accessible by the Company;
Level 2—inputs that are observable in the marketplace other than those inputs classified as Level 1; and
Level 3—inputs that are unobservable in the marketplace and significant to the valuation.
We maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. If a financial instrument uses inputs that fall in different levels of the hierarchy, the instrument is categorized based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value calculation. We recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy on the date of the change in circumstances that caused the transfer.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Debt—We estimate the fair value of our debt obligations, excluding capital lease obligations, as follows, as of September 3, 2013 and December 25, 2012:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| September 3, 2013 | | December 25, 2012 |
| Recorded Value | | Fair Value | | Recorded Value | | Fair Value |
Level 2 | $ | 716,106 |
| | $ | 758,878 |
| | $ | 719,575 |
| | $ | 765,744 |
|
Level 3 | 53,763 |
| | 44,406 |
| | 49,627 |
| | 40,169 |
|
Total | $ | 769,869 |
| | $ | 803,284 |
| | $ | 769,202 |
| | $ | 805,913 |
|
We use quoted prices for identical or similar liabilities to value debt obligations classified as Level 2. We use adjusted quoted prices for similar liabilities to value debt obligations classified as Level 3. Key inputs include: 1) the determination that certain other debt obligations are similar, 2) nonperformance risk, and 3) interest rates. Changes or fluctuations in these assumptions and valuations will result in different estimates of value. The use of different techniques to determine the fair value of these debt obligations could result in different estimates of fair value at the reporting date.
The carrying value of other financial instruments including cash, cash equivalents, receivables, notes receivable, accounts payable and other short-term and long-term assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as of September 3, 2013 and December 25, 2012.
Assets and Liabilities Measured Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis
Property and Equipment—We recognized impairment losses to property and equipment of $1.9 million during the twelve weeks ended June 11, 2013, to adjust the carrying amount of certain property and equipment to its fair value of $0.3 million due to continued and projected negative operating results as well as changes in the expected holding period of certain fixed assets. We did not recognize any material impairment losses in the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013. The valuation method used to determine fair value was based on an analysis of discounted future free cash flows using a risk-adjusted discount rate (‘‘Income Approach’’), and based on cost adjusted for economic obsolescence (‘‘Cost Approach’’). The fair value calculations associated with these valuations are classified as Level 3 measurements. See Note 6.
Equity Method Investments—During the twelve weeks ended June 12, 2012, we determined that one of our equity method investments had a decrease in value that was other than temporary. We recognized an impairment loss of $0.7 million during the twelve weeks ended June 12, 2012 to adjust its carrying amount to its fair value. The valuation method used to determine fair value was based on a third party valuation unobservable in the marketplace. This valuation is considered a Level 3 measurement. See Note 4. We recognized no additional impairment losses in the twelve weeks ended September 4, 2012 and we have not recognized any impairment losses in the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013.

We evaluate property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through future cash flows. We recognized impairment losses to property and equipment of $1.9 million during the twelve weeks ended June 11, 2013, to adjust the carrying amount of certain property and equipment to its fair value of $0.3 million due to continued and projected negative operating results as well as changes in the expected holding period of certain fixed assets. We did not recognize any material impairment losses in the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013. See Note 5.
We recognized impairment losses to property and equipment of $0.1 million in the twelve weeks ended June 12, 2012. We did not recognize any impairment losses in the twelve weeks ended September 4, 2012.

Intangible Assets—Intangible assets include trade names, liquor licenses and member relationships. Intangible asset amortization expense was $0.7 million and $2.0 million during the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013, respectively, and $2.3 million and $6.8 million for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012, respectively.
We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable.
During the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012, we entered into an agreement to sell a business, sports and alumni club for expected proceeds of $5.9 million. See Note 11. We evaluated goodwill for impairment in conjunction with this agreement. Based on this analysis, no impairment of goodwill was required prior to entering into the sales agreement. As a result of the classification of assets related to this property as held for sale, we allocated $6.5 million of goodwill to this property and subsequently recognized a loss on disposal of goodwill for this amount. This loss is presented in loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The following table shows goodwill activity by reporting unit. No impairments have been recorded for either reporting unit during the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013.

9. DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASES
General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”)—In July 2008, we entered into a secured mortgage loan with GECC for $32.0 million with an original maturity of July 2011. During the fiscal year ended December 27, 2011, we extended the term of the loan to July 2012. Effective August 1, 2012, we amended the loan agreement with GECC which extended the maturity to November 2015 with two additional twelve month options to extend through November 2017 upon satisfaction of certain conditions of the loan agreement. As of September 3, 2013, we expect to meet the required conditions and currently intend to extend the loan with GECC to November 2017.
BancFirst—In connection with the acquisition of Oak Tree Country Club in May 2013, we assumed a mortgage loan with BancFirst for $5.0 million. See Note 11. The loan has an original maturity of October 2014 with two twelve month options to extend the maturity through October 2016 upon satisfaction of certain conditions in the loan agreement. As of September 3, 2013, we expect to meet the required conditions and currently intend to extend the loan with BancFirst to October 2016. The loan is collateralized by the assets of the club, which had a book value of $8.1 million as of September 3, 2013. The interest rate is the greater of 4.5% or the prime rate. We incurred an immaterial amount of debt issuance costs in conjunction with the assumption of this mortgage loan. These costs have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the loan.
2010 Secured Credit Facilities—On November 30, 2010 Operations entered into secured credit facilities (the “Secured Credit Facilities”). These facilities were originally comprised of (i) a $310.0 million term loan facility and (ii) a revolving credit facility with a maximum borrowing limit of $50.0 million, which included letter of credit and swing line facilities. The credit agreement included incremental facilities, whereby Operations had the option to increase the term loan facility by up to $50.0 million and the revolving credit facility by up to an additional $25.0 million, both subject to conditions and restrictions in the credit agreement. The term loan facility was scheduled to mature on November 30, 2016 and the revolving credit facility expires on November 30, 2015. The interest rate on the Secured Credit Facilities was originally the higher of (i) 6.0% or (ii) an elected LIBOR plus a margin of 4.5%.
On November 16, 2012, Operations entered into an amendment to the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities, which reduced the interest rate on the term loan facility to the higher of (i) 5.0% or (ii) an elected LIBOR plus a margin of 3.75%. This amendment did not apply to the revolving credit facility or any incremental facilities.
On July 24, 2013, Operations entered into a second amendment to the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities to reduce the interest rate on the term loan facility, increase the principal borrowed under the term loan facility, extend the maturity date of the term loan facility, eliminate the quarterly principal payment requirement under the term loan facility, increase the amount of permissible incremental facilities and modify certain financial covenants and non-financial terms and conditions associated with the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities.
The interest rate on the term loan facility was reduced to the higher of (i) 4.25% or (ii) an elected LIBOR plus a margin of 3.25%, with an additional reduction to the higher of (i) 4.0% or (ii) an elected LIBOR plus a margin of 3.0%, upon successful completion of an initial public offering with proceeds of at least $50.0 million, which condition was satisfied subsequent to the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013 on September 25, 2013, by the receipt by Operations, by way of contribution, the amount of more than $50.0 million in proceeds from the completion of an initial public offering by Holdings. The term loan facility principal balance was increased to $301.1 million. The maturity date of the term loan facility was extended to July 24, 2020. In addition to the $19.6 million of standby letters of credit outstanding, capacity available under the incremental facilities was increased to $135.0 million in new revolving credit, plus $75.0 million in new revolving credit and term loan combined, with additional capacity for incremental revolving credit and/or term loan commitments thereafter if certain financial covenants are met.
The total leverage and interest coverage ratio financial covenants were replaced in the second amendment with a new senior secured leverage ratio covenant (the “Senior Secured Leverage Ratio”). The Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, requires Operations and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a leverage ratio of no greater than 4.00:1.00 for each fiscal quarter ended on or after June 30, 2013. As of September 3, 2013, Operations' leverage ratio was 1.99:1.00.
Operations may be required to prepay the outstanding term loan facility by a percentage of excess cash flows, as defined by the Secured Credit Facilities, each fiscal year end after their annual consolidated financial statements are delivered, which percentage may decrease or be eliminated depending on the results of the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio test at the end of each fiscal year.
This second amendment was accounted for as a debt modification. Operations incurred additional debt issuance costs of $4.4 million, which have been capitalized and are being amortized over the remaining term of the loan.
On August 30, 2013, Operations entered into a third amendment to the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities to conditionally secure the $135.0 million incremental revolving credit facility. The third amendment became effective on September 30, 2013, subsequent to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the receipt by Operations, by way of contribution, of more than $150.0 million of proceeds from the completion of an initial public offering by Holdings. The $135.0 million revolving credit commitments mature five years from the effective date of the third amendment and borrowings will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 3.0% per annum. Additionally, the third amendment reduced the existing $50.0 million revolving credit facility to $19.6 million, the amount of standby letters of credit outstanding as of the effective date of the third amendment.
In conjunction with this third amendment, Operations will incur total additional debt issuance costs of $3.4 million, which will be capitalized and will be amortized over the remaining term of the new revolving credit facility.

10. INCOME TAXES
Holdings files a consolidated federal income tax return. Income taxes recorded are adjusted to the extent losses or other deductions cannot be utilized in the consolidated federal income tax return. We file state tax returns on a separate company basis or unitary basis as required by law. Additionally, certain subsidiaries of Holdings, owned through lower tier joint ventures, file separate tax returns for federal and state purposes.
Our tax expense or benefit recognized in our interim financial statements is determined by multiplying the year-to-date income or loss by the annual effective tax rate, which is an estimate of the expected relationship between tax expense or benefit for the full year to the pre-tax income or loss for the full year (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items). Our effective income tax rate for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 was (306.0)% and (15.9)%, respectively, compared to 48.1% and 1.8%, for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012, respectively. For the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 and September 4, 2012, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to state taxes, changes in uncertain tax positions and certain other permanent differences. The relative impact that the preceding items have on the effective tax rate varies based on the amount of pre-tax income forecast for the year as well as whether that pre-tax amount is profit or loss.
We are subject to taxation in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as various state and foreign jurisdictions. Our annualized effective income tax rate is determined by the level and composition of pre-tax income and the mix of income subject to varying foreign, state and local taxes.
As of September 3, 2013 and December 25, 2012, we have recorded $55.5 million and $52.7 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, which are included in other liabilities in the consolidated condensed balance sheets.
We are currently undergoing an Internal Revenue Service audit of certain components of the tax return for the year ended December 28, 2010, which includes the consummation of the ClubCorp Formation. In addition, certain of our foreign subsidiaries are under audit in Mexico for the 2008 and 2009 tax years. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months our unrecognized tax benefits will be impacted by the resolution of some or all of the matters currently under audit by the U.S. and Mexican taxing authorities. However, as audit outcomes and the timing of audit resolutions are subject to significant uncertainty given the current status of the U.S. and Mexican tax examinations, we are unable to estimate the possible amount of change in the unrecognized tax benefits, if any, that may occur within the next 12 months as a result of the above examinations.
11. CLUB ACQUISITIONS, CLUB DISPOSITIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Club Dispositions
Subsidiaries may be divested when we determine they will be unable to provide a positive contribution to cash flows from operations in future periods and/or when they are determined to be non-strategic holdings for the Company. Gains from divestitures are recognized in the period in which operations cease and losses are recognized when we determine that the carrying value is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
Glendale Racquet Club, Inc.—On September 27, 2012, we sold certain assets and liabilities of Glendale Racquet Club, Inc., a sports club located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to an unrelated third party for $5.9 million. The sale resulted in a pre-tax loss of $11.1 million recorded in the twelve weeks ended September 4, 2012 including a $6.5 million loss recognized for goodwill allocated to this entity. See Note 7. These losses are included in loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. One additional business, sports and alumni club was discontinued in the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012 for a pre-tax gain of $0.1 million. We did not discontinue any clubs in the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013.
There were no assets held for sale at September 3, 2013 or December 25, 2012.

12. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We currently have two reportable segments: (1) golf and country clubs and (2) business, sports and alumni clubs. These segments are managed separately and discrete financial information is reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker to evaluate performance and allocate resources. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer.
Golf and country club operations consist of private country clubs, golf clubs and public golf facilities. Private country clubs provide at least one 18-hole golf course and various other recreational amenities that are open to members and their guests. Golf clubs provide both private and public golf play and usually offer fewer other recreational amenities. Public golf facilities are open to the public and generally provide the same services as golf clubs.
Business, sports and alumni club operations consist of business clubs, business/sports clubs, sports clubs and alumni clubs. Business clubs provide a setting for dining, business or social entertainment. Sports clubs provide a variety of recreational facilities and business/sports clubs provide a combination of the amenities available at business clubs and sports clubs. Alumni clubs provide the same amenities as business clubs while targeting alumni and staff of universities.
We also disclose other (“Other”), which consists of other business activities including ancillary revenues related to alliance arrangements, a portion of the revenue associated with upgrade offerings, reimbursements for certain costs of operations at managed clubs, corporate overhead expenses, and shared services. Other also includes corporate assets such as cash, goodwill, intangible assets, and loan origination fees.
We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on Segment EBITDA. We define Segment EBITDA as net income before discontinued operations, interest and investment income, interest expense, income taxes, gain or loss on disposal, acquisition and impairment of assets, gain on extinguishment of debt and depreciation and amortization. Additionally, Segment EBITDA differs from Adjusted EBITDA which is used in calculating the Company's compliance with debt covenants. These additional items are excluded to determine Segment EBITDA:
| |
• | translation gains and losses; |
| |
• | proceeds from business interruption insurance; |
| |
• | expenses related to accruals for unclaimed property settlements; |
| |
• | management fees and expenses paid to an affiliate of KSL; |
| |
• | amortization of step-up in certain equity method investments; |
| |
• | expenses related to the November 30, 2010 reorganization (“ClubCorp Formation”); |
| |
• | expenses related to adjustments in accruals for certain environmental compliance obligations incurred prior to 2011; |
| |
• | expenses related to adjustments in accruals for certain property tax increases prior to 2011; |
| |
• | expenses related to an arbitration award arising out of a dispute related to a series of agreements first entered into in 1999 related to the acquisition and development of a golf course property; |
| |
• | expenses accrued under our long-term incentive plan; and |
| |
• | certain other incidental expenses. |
Segment EBITDA for all periods presented has been calculated using this definition. Segment EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to, or a better indicator of, operating income or loss, is not based on GAAP and is not necessarily a measure of our cash flows or ability to fund our cash needs. Our measurements of Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We routinely enter into contractual obligations to procure assets used in the day to day operations of our business. As of September 3, 2013, we had capital commitments of $13.5 million at certain of our clubs.
We currently have sales and use tax audits and federal tax audits of certain foreign subsidiaries in progress. See Note 10. We believe the potential for a liability related to the outcome of these audits may exist. However, we believe that the outcome of these audits would not materially affect our consolidated condensed financial statements.
The Company is currently undergoing an Internal Revenue Service audit of certain components of the tax return for the year ended December 28, 2010, which includes the consummation of the ClubCorp Formation. Should the estimates and judgments used in the ClubCorp Formation prove to be inaccurate, our financial results could be materially affected. See Note 10.
We are currently undergoing audits related to unclaimed property. We believe the potential for a liability related to the outcome of these audits is probable and we have estimated and recorded an immaterial amount within accrued expenses on the consolidated condensed balance sheet as of September 3, 2013.
Each of our properties is subject to real and personal property taxes. If local taxing authorities reassess the taxable value of certain properties in accordance with local and state regulations, we may be subject to additional property tax assessments, penalties and interest. At September 3, 2013, we have $2.1 million recorded in accrued taxes on the consolidated condensed balance sheet related to certain of these properties. While the outcome of such reassessments cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that any potential liability from these matters would not materially affect our consolidated condensed financial statements.
We are subject to certain pending or threatened litigation and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of such legal proceedings and other claims cannot be predicted with certainty, after review and consultation with legal counsel, we believe that any potential liability from these matters would not materially affect our consolidated condensed financial statements.
We guarantee principal amounts on loans made by a lender to purchasers of certain real estate interests in case of default. These loans have remaining terms of approximately one to two years. The total principal amount outstanding on these
loans as of September 3, 2013 is $0.3 million. As of September 3, 2013, we were indemnified by a third party from losses on these guarantees in the event of default. The fair value of the guarantees is immaterial.
14. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Holdings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. In connection with the ClubCorp Formation, Holdings was formed on November 10, 2010, with 1,000 shares authorized and issued, with a par value of $0.01. On March 15, 2012, Holdings' articles of incorporation were amended to authorize 2,000,000 shares and Holdings effected a 1,000 for 1 forward stock split. On August 2, 2013, Holdings' articles of incorporation were further amended to authorize 200,000,000 shares and Holdings effected a 50 for 1 forward stock split. On September 6, 2013, Holdings effected a 1.0113946 for 1 forward stock split, resulting in 50,569,730 shares outstanding subsequent to September 6, 2013. EPS is adjusted retroactively for the impact of these forward stock splits for all periods presented.
There are no potential common shares excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect would be anti‑dilutive.
15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 we were a party to a management agreement (the "Management Agreement") with an affiliate of KSL, pursuant to which we were provided financial and management consulting services in exchange for an annual fee of $1.0 million. In addition, we have agreed to reimburse the management company for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in providing management services to us and certain of our affiliates. During the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 we paid an affiliate of KSL approximately $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and during the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012, we paid them approximately $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in management fees. The Management Agreement allowed that, in the event of a financing, refinancing or direct or indirect sale of all or substantially all of our equity or assets, the management company may also be entitled to receive a fee equal to 1% of the lenders’ maximum commitments, in the case of a financing or refinancing, or 1% of the total consideration paid, in the case of a sale. On September 25, 2013, we made a one-time payment of $5.0 million in connection with the termination of the Management Agreement. See Note 16.
During the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013, we made a distribution to our owners of $35.0 million.
During the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013, we paid $0.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and during the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012, we paid $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, to affiliates of KSL for private party events. In addition, during the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012 we received $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, from an affiliate of KSL for taxes paid on behalf of affiliates of KSL.
During the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 we entered into a a consulting services agreement with an affiliate of KSL whereby we provide consulting services in exchange for an annual fee of $0.1 million. The revenue associated with this contract was immaterial during the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013.
As of September 3, 2013 we had receivables of $0.2 million and payables of $0.7 million and as of December 25, 2012, we had receivables of $0.2 million and payables of $0.2 million, for outstanding advances from golf and business club ventures in which we have an equity method investment. We recorded $0.1 million and $0.3 million in the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.4 million during the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012, respectively, in management fees from these ventures. As of September 3, 2013 and December 25, 2012, we had a receivable of $2.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, for volume rebates from Avendra, LLC, the supplier firm in which we have an equity method investment. See Note 4.
We have entered into arrangements whereby members of certain resorts and clubs owned by affiliates of KSL can pay an upgrade charge to have access to our clubs and facilities. We have revenue sharing arrangements with such resorts and clubs whereby we agree to split the amount of the upgrade charges respectively with such entities. We recognized and collected $0.1 million and $0.1 million during the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 and September 4, 2012, respectively, in revenue associated with these arrangements. During the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013 and September 4, 2012, revenue associated with these arrangements was immaterial.
We have also entered into arrangements with affiliates of KSL, whereby we remit royalty payments we receive in connection with mineral leases at certain of our golf and country clubs. During the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 and September 4, 2012, we collected and remitted $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in conjunction with these
agreements. The amounts collected and remitted during the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013 and September 4, 2012 were immaterial.
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Initial Public Offering
On September 25, 2013, Holdings closed its initial public offering in which it sold 13,200,000 shares of common stock and Fillmore sold 4,800,000 shares. The offering generated net proceeds to Holdings of approximately $168.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. Holdings subsequently contributed the net proceeds to Operations. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock offered by Fillmore.
We intend to use the net proceeds received by us from this offering to redeem $145.3 million in aggregate principal amount of our $415.0 million in senior unsecured notes (the "Senior Notes"), plus approximately $5.9 million in accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and to pay approximately $14.5 million of redemption premium. This redemption is pursuant to a provision in the indenture governing the Senior Notes that permits us to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 110% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. We anticipate this redemption will occur subsequent to the satisfaction of a notice period, in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes.
We also used a portion of the net proceeds received by us from this offering and cash on hand to make a one-time payment of $5.0 million to an affiliate of KSL in connection with the termination of the Management Agreement with such affiliate of KSL pursuant to which we were provided financial and management consulting services. See Note 15.
Shares of Common Stock Issued to Employees
As described in Note 2, equity-based unit awards have been issued under the MPI. In connection with the consummation of Holdings' initial public offering on September 25, 2013, the MPI participants, including our executives, employees, directors and consultants surrendered all Class A units (including Converted Units) and Class C units held by them and in exchange for an aggregate of 2,251,027 shares of Holdings' common stock previously held by Fillmore, a portion of which will be restricted, subject to remaining time vesting requirements. Also, as described in Note 2, RSUs have been granted to certain executives under the Stock Plan. On March 15, 2014, the required time period following Holding's initial public offering will be satisfied and the liquidity vesting requirement will be met, at which time all then outstanding RSUs will be converted into shares of common stock, a portion of which will be restricted, subject to remaining time vesting requirements.
Subsequent to Holdings' initial public offering, we expect to record equity-based compensation expense of approximately $14.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2013 related to the unit awards previously issued and outstanding under the MPI program and all outstanding RSUs granted under the Stock Plan, to the extent the time vesting conditions have been satisfied. See Note 2.
Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities
As described in Note 9, on August 30, 2013, Operations entered into a third amendment to the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities to conditionally secure the $135.0 million incremental revolving credit facility. The third amendment became effective on September 30, 2013, subsequent to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the receipt by Operations, by way of contribution, of more than $150.0 million of proceeds from the completion of an initial public offering by Holdings. The $135.0 million revolving credit commitments mature five years from the effective date of the third amendment and borrowings will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 3.0% per annum. Additionally, the third amendment reduced the existing $50.0 million revolving credit facility to $19.6 million, the amount of standby letters of credit outstanding as of the effective date of the third amendment.
2012 Stock Award Plan
On September 24, 2013, Holdings registered 4,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the Stock Plan. In connection with the closing of Holdings' initial public offering, 20,000 shares of restricted common stock, which vest after one year, were issued to certain of our directors under the Stock Plan.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read together with the consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes included in this quarterly report and in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, related notes and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on September 20, 2013.

| |
• | accidents or injuries which occur at our properties; |
| |
• | adverse judgments or settlements; |
| |
• | our failure to comply with regulations relating to public facilities or our failure to retain the licenses relating to our properties; |
| |
• | future environmental regulation, expenditures and liabilities; |
| |
• | changes in or failure to comply with laws and regulations relating to our business and properties; |
| |
• | failure to comply with privacy regulations or maintain the integrity of internal customer data; |
| |
• | sufficiency and performance of the technology we own or license; |
| |
• | cancellation of indebtedness income resulting from cancellation of certain indebtedness; |
| |

| |
• | the ownership of a majority of our equity by affiliates of KSL; |
| |
• | our substantial indebtedness, which may adversely affect our financial condition, our ability to operate our business, react to changes in the economy or our industry and pay our debts and which could divert our cash flows from operations for debt payments; |
| |
• | our need to generate cash to service our indebtedness; |
| |
• | the incurrence by us of substantially more debt, which could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial leverage; and |
| |
• | restrictions in our debt agreements that limit our flexibility in operating our business. |
All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. We do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless the securities laws require us to do so.
Overview
We are a leading owner-operator of private golf and country clubs, business, sports and alumni clubs in North America. As of September 3, 2013, our portfolio of 153 owned or operated clubs, with over 148,000 memberships, served more than 370,000 individual members. Our operations are organized into two business segments: (1) golf and country clubs and (2) business, sports and alumni clubs. We operate our properties through sole ownership, partial ownership (including joint venture interests), operating leases and management agreements. As of September 3, 2013, we owned or operated 104 golf and country clubs and 49 business, sports and alumni clubs in 25 states, the District of Columbia and two foreign countries.
Factors Affecting our Business
Enrollment and Retention of Members
Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain members at our clubs and maintain or increase usage of our facilities. Historically, we have experienced varying levels of membership enrollment and attrition rates and, in certain areas, decreased levels of usage of our facilities. We devote substantial efforts to maintaining member and guest satisfaction, although many of the factors affecting club membership and facility usage are beyond our control. Periods where attrition rates exceed enrollment rates or where facility usage is below historical levels could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial position.
We offer various programs at our clubs designed to minimize future attrition rates by increasing member satisfaction and usage. These programs are designed to engage current and newly enrolled members in activities and groups that go beyond their home club. Additionally, these programs may grant our members discounts on meals and other items in order to increase their familiarity with and usage of their club’s amenities. One such offering is our O.N.E. program, an upgrade offering that combines what we refer to as ‘‘comprehensive club, community and world benefits’’. With this offering, members receive 50% off a la carte dining at their home club; preferential offerings to clubs in their community (including those owned by us), as well as at local spas, restaurants and other venues; and complimentary privileges to more than 200 golf and country, business, sporting and athletic clubs when traveling outside of their community with additional offerings and discounts to more than 700 renowned hotels, resorts, restaurants and entertainment venues.
The following table presents our membership counts for continuing operations at the end of the periods indicated:

Seasonality of Demand and Fluctuations in Quarterly Results
Our quarterly results fluctuate as a result of a number of factors. Usage of our country club and golf facilities decline significantly during the first and fourth quarters, when colder temperatures and shorter days reduce the demand for golf and golf-related activities. Our business clubs typically generate a greater share of their yearly revenues in the fourth quarter, which includes the holiday and year-end party season.
Our results can also be affected by non-seasonal and severe weather patterns. Periods of extremely hot, dry, cold or rainy weather in a given region can be expected to impact our golf-related revenue for that region. Similarly, extended periods of low rainfall can affect the cost and availability of water needed to irrigate our golf courses and can adversely affect results for facilities in the impacted region. Keeping turf grass conditions at a satisfactory level to attract play on our golf courses requires significant amounts of water. Our ability to irrigate a course could be adversely impacted by a drought or other water shortage. A severe drought affecting a large number of properties could have a material adverse affect on our business and results of operations.
In addition, the first, second and third fiscal quarters each consist of twelve weeks, whereas, the fourth quarter consists of sixteen or seventeen weeks of operations. Fiscal year 2013 will consist of a seventeen week fourth quarter and a 53-week fiscal year ending on December 31, 2013. As a result of these factors, we usually generate a disproportionate share of our revenues and cash flows in the second, third and fourth quarters of each year and have lower revenues and profits in the first quarter. The timing of purchases, sales, leasing of facilities or divestitures, has also caused and may cause our results of operations to vary significantly in otherwise comparable periods. To clarify variations caused by newly acquired or divested operations, we employ a same store analysis for year-over-year comparability purposes. (See “Basis of Presentation—Same Store Analysis.”)
Reinvention Capital Investments
We continue to identify and prioritize capital projects and believe the reinvention of our clubs through strategic capital investments help drive membership sales, facility usage and member retention. A significant portion of our invested capital is used to add reinvention elements to "major reinvention" clubs, defined as clubs receiving $750,000 or more gross capital spend on a project basis, as we believe these club enhancements represent opportunities to increase revenues and generate a positive return on our investment, although we cannot guarantee such returns. Elements of reinvention capital expenditures include “Touchdown Rooms”, which are small private meeting rooms allowing members to hold impromptu private meetings while leveraging the other services of their club. “Anytime Lounges” provide a contemporary and casual atmosphere to work and network, while “Media Rooms” provide state of the art facilities to enjoy various forms of entertainment. Additional reinvention elements include refitted fitness centers, enhanced pool area amenities such as shade cabanas, pool slides and splash pads, redesigned golf practice areas for use by beginners to avid golfers, and newly created or updated indoor and outdoor dining and social gathering areas designed to take advantage of the expansive views and natural beauty of our clubs.
Club Acquisitions and Dispositions
We continually explore opportunities to expand our business through select acquisitions of attractive properties. We also evaluate joint ventures and management opportunities that allow us to expand our operations and increase our recurring revenue base without substantial capital outlay. We believe that the fragmented nature of the private club industry presents significant opportunities for us to expand our portfolio by leveraging our operational expertise and by taking advantage of market conditions. Additionally, during the normal course of business, we have closed certain business, sports and alumni clubs that were underperforming and terminated certain golf and country club management agreements.
The table below summarizes the number and type of club acquisitions and dispositions during the periods indicated:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to use estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this report. We base these estimates and assumptions upon the best information available to us at the time the estimates or assumptions are made. Accordingly, our actual results could differ materially from our estimates. The most significant estimates made by management include the expected life of an active membership used to amortize initiation fees and deposits, our weighted average borrowing rate used to accrete membership initiation deposit liabilities, assumptions and judgments used in estimating unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions, and inputs for impairment testing of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets.
Income Taxes
We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. If the position drops below the “more likely than not” standard, the benefit can no longer be recognized. Assumptions, judgment and the use of estimates are required in determining if the “more likely than not” standard has been met when developing the provision for income taxes. We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.
As of September 3, 2013 and December 25, 2012, we have recorded $55.5 million and $52.7 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, which are included in other liabilities in the consolidated condensed balance sheets.
The Company is currently undergoing an Internal Revenue Service audit of certain components of the tax return for the year ended December 28, 2010, which includes the consummation of the ClubCorp Formation. In addition, certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are under audit in Mexico for the 2008 and 2009 tax years. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the Company's unrecognized tax benefits will be impacted by the resolution of some or all of the matters currently under audit by the U.S. and Mexican taxing authorities. However, as audit outcomes and the timing of audit resolutions are subject to significant uncertainty given the current status of the U.S. and Mexican tax examinations, the Company is unable to estimate the possible amount of change in the unrecognized tax benefits, if any, that may occur within the next 12 months as a result of the above examinations.
For additional information about our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the disclosure included in our prospectus filed with the SEC on September 20, 2013.
Basis of Presentation
Total revenues recorded in our two principal business segments (1) golf and country clubs and (2) business, sports and alumni clubs, are comprised mainly of revenues from membership dues (including upgrade dues), food and beverage operations and golf operations. Operating expenses recorded in our two principal business segments primarily consist of labor expenses, food and beverage costs, golf course maintenance costs and general and administrative costs.
We also disclose other (“Other”), which consists of other business activities including ancillary revenues related to alliance arrangements, a portion of the revenue associated with upgrade offerings, reimbursements for certain costs of operations at managed clubs, corporate overhead expenses, and shared services. Other also includes corporate assets such as cash, goodwill, intangible assets, and loan origination fees.
EBITDA, Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is calculated as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization less interest and investment income. We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on Segment EBITDA. We consider Segment EBITDA an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of our business. We include Segment EBITDA because it is a key financial measure used by our management to (1) internally measure our operating performance and (2) assess our ability to service our debt, incur additional debt and meet our capital expenditure requirements.
We define Segment EBITDA as net income before discontinued operations, interest and investment income, interest expense, income taxes, gain or loss on disposal, acquisition and impairment of assets, gain on extinguishment of debt and
depreciation and amortization. Segment EBITDA differs from Adjusted EBITDA, although, Segment EBITDA may be adjusted for items similar to those defined in the indenture governing the Senior Notes and the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities. Segment EBITDA has been calculated using this definition for all periods presented. (See Note 12 of the consolidated condensed financial statements.)
Segment EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to, or a better indicator of, operating income or loss, is not based on GAAP and is not necessarily a measure of our cash flows or ability to fund our cash needs. Our measurements of Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA is based on the definition of Consolidated EBITDA as defined in the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities and may not be comparable to other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is included because the indenture governing our Senior Notes and the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities contain certain financial and non-financial covenants which require Operations to maintain specified financial ratios on a rolling four quarter basis and utilize this measure of Adjusted EBITDA.
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about the calculation, and compliance with certain financial covenants in the indenture governing our Senior Notes and under the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities, as Adjusted EBITDA is a material component of these covenants. In addition, investors, lenders, financial analysts and rating agencies have historically used EBITDA related measures in our industry, along with other measures, to evaluate a company’s ability to meet its debt service requirement, to estimate the value of a company and to make informed investment decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is also considered when evaluating our executive compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our operating results or net cash provided by operating activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity. Our measurements of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Same Store Analysis
We employ “same store” analysis techniques for a variety of management purposes. By our definition, clubs are evaluated at the beginning of each year and considered same store once they have been fully operational for one fiscal year. Newly acquired or opened clubs and divested clubs are not classified as same store; however, clubs held for sale are considered same store until they are divested. Once a club has been divested, it is removed from the same store classification for all periods presented and included in discontinued operations. For same store year-over-year comparisons, clubs must be open the entire year for both years in the comparison to be considered same store, therefore, same store facility counts and operating results may vary depending on the years of comparison. We believe this approach provides for a more effective analysis tool because it allows us to assess the results of our core operating strategies by tracking the performance of our established same store clubs without the inclusion of newly acquired or opened clubs.
Our fiscal year consists of a 52/53 week period ending on the last Tuesday of December. Our first, second and third quarters each consist of twelve weeks while our fourth quarter consists of sixteen or seventeen weeks. Fiscal year 2013 will consist of a seventeen week fourth quarter and a 53-week fiscal year ending on December 31, 2013.

(1) Comprised of club operating costs, cost of food and beverage sales and provision for doubtful accounts.
Total revenues of $194.8 million for the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013 increased $14.8 million, or 8.2%, over the twelve weeks ended September 4, 2012, largely due to increased golf and country club revenue. Golf and country club revenue increased $12.0 million, or 8.3%, of which $4.2 million is attributable to golf and country club properties added in 2012 and 2013. The remaining $7.8 million golf and country club revenue increase is driven by increases in same store dues, golf operations, food and beverage and other revenue. In addition, our business, sports and alumni club segment revenue increased $0.2 million, or 0.6%, primarily from an increase in dues revenue. Revenue also increased $2.7 million, due to reimbursements for certain operating costs at managed clubs. These reimbursements do not include a markup and have no net impact on operating income, as such costs are included within club operating costs and expenses.
Club operating costs and expenses totaling $146.0 million for the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013 increased $11.9 million, or 8.9%, compared to the twelve weeks ended September 4, 2012. The increase is partially due to $3.5 million of club operating costs and expenses related to club properties added in 2012 and 2013 and $3.5 million of increased labor and food and beverage cost of goods sold associated with higher revenues. The remaining increase is largely related to certain operating costs at managed clubs, which are offset by reimbursements to the Company recorded within revenue, resulting in no net impact on operating income.
Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.6 million, or 3.2% during the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013 compared to the twelve weeks ended September 4, 2012, due to lower amortization expense from intangible assets that fully amortized at the end of fiscal 2012.
Loss on disposal of assets for the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013 and September 4, 2012 of $2.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively, were primarily comprised of losses on asset retirements during the normal course of business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $11.3 million for the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013 increased $1.6 million, or 16.2%, compared to the twelve weeks ended September 4, 2012 primarily due to increased professional fees related to the acquisition of a golf and country club and incremental costs incurred in connection with the second amendment to the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities.
Interest expense totaled $19.5 million and $20.1 million for the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013 and September 4, 2012, respectively. The $0.6 million reduction is largely due to amendments to the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities that reduced the interest rate on our term loan facility in November 2012 and again in July 2013.
The effective tax rates for the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013 and September 4, 2012 were (306.0)% and 48.1%, respectively. The amount of tax expense or benefit recognized in interim financial statements is determined by multiplying our year-to-date pre-tax income or loss by an annual effective tax rate, which is an estimate of the expected relationship between tax expense or benefit for the full year to the pre-tax income or loss for the full year (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items). For the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013 and September 4, 2012, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory federal tax rate of 35.0% primarily due to state taxes, changes in uncertain tax positions and certain other permanent differences. The relative impact these items have on the effective tax rate varies based on the forecasted amount of pre-tax income or loss for the year.

(1) Same store average membership is calculated using the same store membership count at the beginning and end of the period indicated.
(2) Same store revenue (dues or segment) divided by same store average membership.
Total revenue for same store golf and country clubs increased $7.8 million, or 5.5%, for the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013 compared to the twelve weeks ended September 4, 2012, largely due to increases in dues, golf operations, food and beverage and other revenue. Dues revenue increased $2.9 million, or 4.6%, due to an increase in average dues per membership and an increase in memberships. Golf operations revenue increased $2.1 million, or 5.7%, due to increases in golf rounds, average green fees and cart fees and increased retail revenue. Food and beverage revenue increased $1.9 million, or 6.2%, largely due to an increase in a la carte revenue driven by a 9.9% increase in a la carte covers.
Segment EBITDA for same store golf and country clubs increased $2.8 million, or 7.0%, for the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013 compared to the twelve weeks ended September 4, 2012, largely due to the increase in higher margin dues revenue. As a result, same store Segment EBITDA margin for the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013 increased 40 basis points over the twelve weeks ended September 4, 2012.

Total revenues for business, sports and alumni clubs increased $0.2 million, or 0.6%, for the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013 compared to the twelve weeks ended September 4, 2012, largely due to the $0.4 million, or 2.1%, increase in dues revenue, driven by increases in average dues per membership, partially offset by the decline in other revenue. Food and beverage revenue was flat for the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013 compared to the twelve weeks ended September 4, 2012, as the increase in a la carte revenue, driven by a 6.3% increase in a la carte covers and a 2.0% increase in a la carte check average, was offset by a decline in private event revenues.
Segment EBITDA for business, sports and alumni clubs declined $0.7 million, or 12.4%, for the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013 compared to the twelve weeks ended September 4, 2012, as improved revenues were more than offset by increased leasing costs associated with the relocation and reinvention of one of our business clubs. As a result, segment EBITDA margin for the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013 declined 191 basis points compared to the twelve weeks ended September 4, 2012.

Total revenues of $545.5 million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 increased $29.8 million, or 5.8%, compared to the thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012, primarily due to increased golf and country club revenue. Golf and country club revenue increased $22.1 million, or 5.5%, of which $6.0 million is attributable to golf and country club properties added in 2012 and 2013. The remaining $16.1 million golf and country club revenue increase is driven by increases in same store dues, food and beverage, golf operations and other revenue. In addition, business, sports and alumni clubs revenue increased $1.7 million, or 1.5%, due to increases in food and beverage and dues revenue. Revenue also increased $5.6 million, due to reimbursements for certain operating costs at managed clubs. These reimbursements do not include a markup and have no net impact on operating income, as such costs are included within club operating costs and expenses.
Club operating costs and expenses of $405.8 million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 increased $22.3 million, or 5.8%, compared to the thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012. The increase is partially due to $7.1 million of increased labor and food and beverage cost of goods sold associated with higher revenues and $4.9 million of club operating costs and expenses related to club properties added in 2012 and 2013. The remaining increase is largely related to certain operating costs at managed clubs, which are offset by reimbursements to the Company recorded within revenue, resulting in no net impact on operating income.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $4.4 million, or 8.2%, for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 compared to the thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012, due to lower amortization expense from intangible assets that fully amortized at the end of fiscal 2012.
Loss on disposal of assets of $6.4 million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 primarily consisted of losses on asset retirements during the normal course of business. The loss on disposal of assets of $3.5 million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012 was comprised primarily of losses on asset retirements partially offset by $1.5 million of insurance proceeds and $0.3 million of eminent domain proceeds.
Impairment of assets of $1.9 million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 was primarily comprised of impairment losses to property and equipment at certain of our business clubs to adjust the carrying amount of certain property and equipment to its fair value. Impairment of assets of $0.8 million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012 was primarily comprised of an impairment of an equity method investment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $31.7 million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 increased $1.4 million, or 4.7%, compared to the thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012, primarily due to incremental costs incurred in connection with the second amendment to the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities and increased professional fees related to the acquisition of two golf and country clubs.
Interest expense totaled $58.6 million and $60.2 million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 and September 4, 2012, respectively. The $1.6 million reduction is largely due to amendments to the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities that reduced the interest rate on our term loan facility in November 2012 and again in July 2013.
The effective tax rates for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 and September 4, 2012 were (15.9)% and 1.8%, respectively. The amount of tax expense or benefit recognized in interim financial statements is determined by multiplying our year-to-date pre-tax income or loss by an annual effective tax rate, which is an estimate of the expected relationship between tax expense or benefit for the full year to the pre-tax income or loss for the full year (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items). For the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 and September 4, 2012, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory federal tax rate of 35.0% primarily due to state taxes, changes in uncertain tax positions and certain other permanent differences. The relative impact these items have on the effective tax rate varies based on the forecasted amount of pre-tax income or loss for the year.

Total revenue for same store golf and country clubs increased $16.1 million, or 4.0%, for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 compared to the thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012, primarily due to increases in dues, food and beverage, golf operations and other revenue. Dues revenue increased $8.8 million or 4.8%, largely due to an increase in average dues per membership combined with an increase in memberships. Food and beverage revenues increased $4.1 million, or 4.7%, due to an increase in a la carte revenue, driven by a 6.2% increase in a la carte covers, and increases in private party revenue. Golf operations revenues increased $1.1 million, or 1.1%, due largely to increased retail revenue driven by a 5.9% increase in retail revenue per round.
Segment EBITDA for same store golf and country clubs increased $7.8 million, or 7.0%, for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 compared to the thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012, largely due to the increase in higher margin dues revenue. As a result, same store Segment EBITDA margin for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 increased 79 basis points over the thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012.

Total revenues for business, sports and alumni clubs increased $1.7 million, or 1.5%, for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 compared to the thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012, due to increases in food and beverage and dues revenue. Food and beverage revenue increased $1.3 million, or 2.4%, due to increases in a la carte revenue driven by a 6.1% increase in a la carte check average and a 1.6% increase in a la carte covers. Dues revenue increased $0.8 million, or 1.5%, due to increases in average dues per membership.
Segment EBITDA for business, sports and alumni clubs declined $0.7 million, or 3.4%, for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 compared to the thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012, as improved revenues were more than offset by increased leasing costs associated with the relocation and reinvention of one of our business clubs. As a result, segment EBITDA margin for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 declined 81 basis points compared to the thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012.

Other EBITDA decreased $2.6 million, or 11.3%, for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 compared to the thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012 primarily due to the expiration of certain mineral lease and surface rights agreements during fiscal 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary goal as it relates to liquidity and capital resources is to attain and retain the right level of debt and cash to maintain and fund expansions, replacement projects and other capital investments at our clubs, be poised for external growth in the marketplace and pay dividends to our stockholders. Historically, we have financed our business through cash flows from operations and debt. For the remainder of fiscal 2013, we anticipate cash flows from operations to be our primary source of cash and believe current assets and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet anticipated working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and debt service obligations. We plan to use excess cash reserves and our revolving credit facility to expand the business through capital improvement and expansion projects and strategically selected club acquisitions.
As of September 3, 2013, cash and cash equivalents totaled $43.3 million and we had access to an unused $30.4 million revolving credit facility for total liquidity of $73.7 million. In September 2013, Operations completed a third amendment to the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities for $135.0 million in incremental revolving credit commitments and agreed to reduce the existing $50.0 million revolving credit facility to the $19.6 million of standby letters of credit outstanding as of the effective date of the amendment.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows from operations totaled $66.8 million and $66.1 million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 and September 4, 2012, respectively. The $0.7 million increase in operating cash flows is due to the $15.5 million improvement in earnings partially offset by $14.8 million of changes in working capital during the normal course of business.
Cash Flows used in Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $52.1 million and $32.6 million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 and September 4, 2012, respectively. The increase in cash used for investing activities is largely due to a $10.6 million increase in capital spent to maintain, renovate and reinvent our existing properties and a $7.2 million increase in cash used for acquisitions. In addition, during the thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012 we received $2.0 million of insurance proceeds for damages caused by a hurricane.
Cash Flows used in Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $53.2 million and $10.9 million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 and September 4, 2012, respectively. During the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013, we made a distribution of $35.0 million to the owners of our common stock and scheduled debt repayments of $22.0 million.
As described in Note 16 of the consolidated condensed financial statements, we intend to use the net proceeds received by Holdings from the initial public offering to redeem $145.25 million in aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes, plus approximately $5.9 million in accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and to pay approximately $14.5 million of redemption premium.
Total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $38.7 million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 and increased by $23.4 million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 4, 2012.
Capital Spending
The nature of our business requires us to invest a significant amount of capital to maintain our existing properties. For the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 and September 4, 2012, we spent approximately $18.3 million and $10.9 million, respectively, in capitalized costs to maintain our existing properties. For the remainder of fiscal year 2013, we anticipate spending approximately $6.0 million in capital to maintain our existing facilities.
In addition to maintaining our properties, we also elect to spend discretionary capital to expand and improve existing properties, including major reinvention, and enter into new business opportunities through acquisitions. Capital expansion funding totaled approximately $34.5 million and $24.1 million for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 and September 4, 2012, respectively. We anticipate spending approximately $19.0 million on expansion projects during the remainder of fiscal year 2013. This amount is subject to change if additional acquisitions or expansion opportunities are identified that fit our strategy to expand the business or as a result of many known and unknown factors, including but not limited to those described in the “Risk Factors” section of our prospectus filed with the SEC on September 20, 2013.
Debt
2010 Secured Credit Facilities—On November 30, 2010, Operations entered into secured credit facilities (the “Secured Credit Facilities”). These facilities were originally comprised of (i) a $310.0 million term loan facility and (ii) a revolving credit facility with a maximum borrowing limit of $50.0 million, which included letter of credit and swing line facilities. The credit agreement included incremental facilities, whereby Operations had have the option to increase the term loan facility by up to $50.0 million and the revolving credit facility by up to an additional $25.0 million, both subject to conditions and restrictions in the credit agreement. The term loan facility was scheduled to mature on November 30, 2016 and the revolving credit facility expires on November 30, 2015. The interest rate on the Secured Credit Facilities was originally the higher of (i) 6.0% or (ii) an elected LIBOR plus a margin of 4.5%.
On November 16, 2012, Operations entered into an amendment to the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities, which reduced the interest rate on the term loan facility to the higher of (i) 5.0% or (ii) an elected LIBOR plus a margin of 3.75%. This amendment did not apply to the revolving credit facility or any incremental facilities.
On July 24, 2013, Operations entered into a second amendment to the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities to reduce the interest rate on the term loan facility, increase the principal borrowed under the term loan facility, extend the maturity date of the term loan facility, eliminate the quarterly principal payment requirement under the term loan facility, increase the amount of permissible incremental facilities and modify certain financial covenants and non-financial terms and conditions associated with the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities.
The interest rate on the term loan facility was reduced to the higher of (i) 4.25% or (ii) an elected LIBOR plus a margin of 3.25%, with an additional reduction to the higher of (i) 4.0% or (ii) an elected LIBOR plus a margin of 3.0%, upon successful completion of an initial public offering with proceeds of at least $50.0 million, which condition was satisfied subsequent to the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013 on September 25, 2013, by the receipt by Operations, by way of contribution, of more than $50.0 million in proceeds from the completion of an initial public offering by Holdings. The term loan facility principal balance was increased to $301.1 million. The maturity date of the term loan facility was extended to July 24, 2020. In addition to the $19.6 million of standby letters of credit outstanding, capacity available under the incremental facilities was increased to $135.0 million in new revolving credit, plus $75.0 million in new revolving credit and term loan combined, with additional capacity for incremental revolving credit and/or term loan commitments thereafter if certain financial covenants are met.
Additionally, the total leverage and interest coverage ratio financial covenants were replaced by the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio covenant. The Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, defined as Consolidated Senior Secured Debt (exclusive of the Senior Notes) to Consolidated EBITDA (disclosed as Adjusted EBITDA and defined in "Basis of Presentation"), requires Operations to maintain a leverage ratio no greater than 4.00:1.00 for each fiscal quarter ended on or after June 30, 2013. We may also be required to prepay the outstanding term loan facility by a percentage of excess cash flows after each fiscal year end. The percentage of excess cash flows payable may decrease or be eliminated depending on the results of the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio test at the end of each fiscal year.
On August 30, 2013, Operations entered into a third amendment to the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities to conditionally secure the $135.0 million incremental revolving credit facility. The third amendment became effective on September 30, 2013, subsequent to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the receipt by Operations, by way of contribution, of more than $150.0 million of proceeds from the completion of an initial public offering by Holdings. The
$135.0 million revolving credit commitments mature five years from the effective date of the third amendment and borrowings will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 3.0% per annum. Additionally, the third amendment reduced the existing $50.0 million revolving credit facility to $19.6 million, the amount of standby letters of credit outstanding as of the effective date of the third amendment.
As of September 3, 2013, Operations was in compliance with all covenant restrictions under the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities. The following tables present our Senior Secured Leverage Ratio on a a rolling four quarter basis through September 3, 2013:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
There have been no other material changes outside the normal course of business to our contractual obligations or commercial commitments from those previously disclosed in our prospectus filed with the SEC on September 20, 2013.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
Operations indebtedness consists of both fixed and variable rate debt facilities. As of September 3, 2013, the interest rate on Operations term loan facility was the higher of (i) 4.25% "Floor" or (ii) an elected LIBOR plus a margin of 3.25%. On
September 25, 2013, subsequent to the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013, the rate was reduced to the higher of (i) 4.0% "Floor" or (ii) an elected LIBOR plus a margin of 3.0%. Therefore, the term loan facility is effectively subject to a 4.0% Floor until LIBOR exceeds 1.0%. As of September 25, 2013, the three month LIBOR was 0.25%, which is below the Floor, therefore a hypothetical 0.5% increase in LIBOR would not result in an increase in interest expense.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Our investments in foreign economies include three golf properties in Mexico and one business club in China. We translate foreign currency denominated amounts into U.S. dollars and we report our consolidated financial results of operations in U.S. dollars. Because the value of the U.S. dollar fluctuates relative to other currencies, revenues that we generate or expenses that we incur in other currencies could increase or decrease our revenues or expenses as reported in U.S. dollars. Total foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses comprised less than 1.0% of our consolidated revenues and expenses, respectively, for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013.
Fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies could also increase or decrease foreign currency transaction gains and losses which are reflected as a component of club operating costs. Total foreign currency transaction losses for the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 totaled less than $0.1 million.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Included in this Form 10-Q are certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, which are required in accordance with Rule 15d-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). This section includes information concerning the controls and controls evaluation referred to in the certifications.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the assistance of senior management personnel, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) of Exchange Act) as of September 3, 2013. We perform this evaluation on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions concerning the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures can be reported in our annual and quarterly reports filed under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, and subject to the limitations described below, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 3, 2013.
Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 3, 2013 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of a control system reflects resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of error or fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are involved in litigation that we believe is of the type common to companies engaged in our line of business, including commercial disputes, disputes with members regarding their membership agreements, employment issues and claims relating to personal injury and property damage. We are not involved in any pending legal proceedings that we believe would likely have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to our risk factors that we believe are material to our business, results of operations and financial condition, from the risk factors previously disclosed in our prospectus filed with the SEC on September 20, 2013, which is accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Use of proceeds from initial public offering of common stock
Subsequent to the three months ended September 3, 2013, on September 25, 2013, Holdings completed an initial public offering in which it sold 13,200,000 shares of common stock and Fillmore sold 4,800,000 shares. The shares sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the Holdings’ Registration Statement on Form S-1, which was declared effective by the SEC on September 19, 2013. The common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “MYCC”. Holdings' shares of common stock were sold at an initial offering price of $14.00 per share. The offering generated net proceeds to Holdings of approximately $168.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock offered by Fillmore.
We intend to use the net proceeds received by us from this offering to redeem $145.25 million in aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes, plus approximately $5.9 million in accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and to pay approximately $14.5 million of redemption premium. This redemption is pursuant to a provision in the indenture governing our Senior Notes that permits us to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 110% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. We anticipate this redemption will occur subsequent to the satisfaction of a notice period, in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing our Senior Notes. We also used a portion of the net proceeds received by us from this offering and cash on hand to make a one-time payment of $5.0 million to an affiliate of KSL in connection with the termination of the Management Agreement.
Goldman, Sachs & Co., Jefferies LLC and Citigroup Global Markets LLC acted as joint bookrunners and as representatives of the underwriters in the offering. BofA Merrill Lynch and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. were also joint bookrunners in the offering. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Stephens Inc. acted as co-managers in the offering.
Dividend limitations
Our ability to pay dividends depends in part on our receipt of cash distributions from our operating subsidiaries, which may be restricted from distributing us cash as a result of the laws of their jurisdiction of organization, agreements of our subsidiaries or covenants under any existing and future outstanding indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur. In particular, the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute cash to Holdings is limited by covenants in the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities and the indenture governing our Senior Notes.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Effective October 15, 2013, Mark A. Burnett, Executive Vice President of Golf & Country Clubs, was appointed Chief Operating Officer for the Company. Mr. Burnett is a current named executive officer of the Company, and the information relating to him required by Item 5.02(c) of Form 8-K has been previously reported in our prospectus filed with the SEC on September 20, 2013.
