Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates —The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Concentration of Credit Risk —Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. At June 27, 2017 and December 27, 2016, the Company maintained approximately $13 million and $12 million, respectively, of its day-to-day operating cash balances with a major financial institution, of which $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, represents restricted cash in an impound account for franchisees in the state of Washington. The remaining $32 million at both June 27, 2017 and December 27, 2016, respectively, was invested with a major financial institution and consisted entirely of U.S. Treasury instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. At June 27, 2017 and December 27, 2016 and at various times during the periods then ended, cash and cash equivalents balances were in excess of Federal Depository Insurance Corporation insured limits. While the Company monitors the cash balances in its operating accounts on a daily basis and adjusts the cash balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in its operating accounts. Fair Value Measurements —The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and all other current liabilities approximate fair values due to the short maturities of these instruments. Income Taxes —The Company records a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. The Company may record a valuation allowance, if conditions are applicable, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. Non-controlling Interests —The non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated statements of income represents the portion of earnings or loss before income taxes attributable to the economic interest in the Company’s subsidiary, The Habit Restaurants, LLC, held by the Continuing LLC Owners. Non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated balance sheet represents the portion of net assets of the Company attributable to the non-controlling Continuing LLC Owners, based on the portion of the LLC Units owned by such unit holders. As of June 27, 2017 the non-controlling interest was 22.1%. Earnings per Share —Basic earnings per share (“basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to The Habit Restaurants, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share (“diluted EPS”) gives effect during the reporting period to all dilutive potential shares outstanding resulting from employee stock-based awards. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 27, 2017 and June 28, 2016, respectively: 13 Weeks Ended 26 Weeks Ended June 27, June 28, June 27, June 28, (amounts in thousands, except share and per share data) 2017 2016 2017 2016 Numerator: Net income attributable to controlling and non-controlling interests $ 1,713 $ 2,496 $ 4,461 $ 5,890 Less: net income attributable to non-controlling interests $ (601 ) $ (1,305 ) $ (1,506 ) $ (3,319 ) Net income attributable to The Habit Restaurants, Inc. $ 1,112 $ 1,191 $ 2,955 $ 2,571 Denominator: Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding Basic 20,259,140 16,657,886 20,223,913 15,353,798 Diluted 20,325,493 16,658,172 20,269,425 15,356,621 Net income attributable to The Habit Restaurants, Inc. per share Class A common stock Basic $ 0.05 $ 0.07 $ 0.15 $ 0.17 Diluted $ 0.05 $ 0.07 $ 0.15 $ 0.17 Below is a reconciliation of basic and diluted share counts Basic 20,259,140 16,657,886 20,223,913 15,353,798 Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units 66,353 286 45,512 2,823 Diluted 20,325,493 16,658,172 20,269,425 15,356,621 Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed similarly to basic earnings per share except the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of any common stock equivalents using the treasury method, if dilutive. The Company’s Class B common stock represent voting interests and do not participate in the earnings of the Company. Accordingly, there is no earnings per share related to the Company’s Class B common stock. The Company’s LLC Units are considered common stock equivalents for this purpose. The number of additional shares of Class A common stock related to these common stock equivalents is calculated using the if-converted method. The potential impact of the exchange of the 5,743,811 LLC Units on the diluted EPS had no impact and were therefore excluded from the calculation. As of June 27, 2017, there were 2,525,275 options authorized under our 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan of which 1,269,013 and 640,111 had been granted as of June 27, 2017 and June 28, 2016, respectively. The number of dilutive shares of Class A common stock related to these options was calculated using the treasury stock method and 33,786 and 4,024 shares and 29,414 and 2,738 shares have been excluded from the diluted EPS for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 27, 2017 and June 28, 2016, respectively, because they were anti-dilutive. Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Scope of Modification Accounting. This update applies to entities that change the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This update will provide clarity and reduce (i) the diversity in practice and (ii) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This update is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. This guidance should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after that adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the provision of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases," which supersedes ASC 840 “Leases” and creates a new topic, ASC 842 "Leases." This update requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a lease asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months on its balance sheet. The update also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. This update will be applied using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company anticipates taking advantage of the practical expedient options. The Company’s operating lease obligations as of June 27, 2017 were approximately $220.8 million. The discounted minimum remaining operating lease obligations will be the starting point for determining the right-of-use asset and lease liability. The Company expects that adoption of the new guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets due to recognition of the right-of-use asset and lease liability related to current operating leases. The Company is using their current lease software to continue the process of validating occupancy information in preparation for retrospective reporting, disclosure and audit for this standard update on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Accordingly, the Company will adopt this ASU on December 27, 2017. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this ASU. The Company does not believe the standard will impact recognition of revenue from company-operated restaurants or royalty revenue from franchisees and licensees, but will have an impact on the recognition of initial franchise and license fees. The Company has evaluated this standard and has concluded the adoption of this standard on recognition of revenue from franchise and license agreements will not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and has decided to use the full retrospective method upon adoption. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements — In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, the recognition of an impairment charge is calculated based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis, and is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 and there was no impact on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230). This update provides clarification regarding how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. This update is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The update will be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 and there was no classification impact on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in this update simplify several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
