Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' |
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements | ' |
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Bob Evans Farms, Inc. (“Bob Evans”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, Bob Evans and its subsidiaries are referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q/A and, consequently, do not include all of the disclosures normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or those normally made in our Form 10-K filing. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations have been included. The consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full fiscal year. No significant changes have occurred in the financial disclosures made in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 25, 2014 (refer to the Form 10-K for a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements). Throughout the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, dollars are in thousands, except per share amounts. |
Revenue Recognition | ' |
Revenue Recognition: Revenue in the Bob Evans Restaurants segment is recognized at the point of sale, other than revenue from the sale of gift cards, which is deferred and recognized upon redemption. All revenue is presented net of sales tax collections. |
We issue gift cards, which do not have expiration dates or inactivity fees. We recognize revenue from gift cards when they are redeemed by the customer. In addition, we recognize income on unredeemed gift cards (“gift card breakage”) based on historical redemption patterns, referred to as the redemption recognition method. Gift card breakage is recognized proportionately over the period of redemption in net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The liability for unredeemed gift cards is included in deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
In the Bob Evans Restaurants segment, we engage in promotional programs that include email, direct mail, customer bounce-back offerings and specific platforms like, "Kids Eat Free." Costs associated with these programs are classified as a reduction of net sales in the period in which the sale occurs. |
Revenue in the BEF Foods segment is generally recognized when products are received by our customers. All revenue is presented net of sales tax collections. We engage in promotional (sales incentive) programs in the form of “off-invoice” deductions, billbacks, cooperative advertising and coupons with our customers. Costs associated with these programs are classified as a reduction of net sales in the period in which the sale occurs. |
Notes Receivable | ' |
Notes Receivable: As a result of the sale of Mimi’s Café to Le Duff America, Inc. ("Le Duff"), we received a Promissory Note for $30,000. The Note has an annual interest rate of 1.5% and a term of seven years. The principal and interest are payable in full at maturity. Partial prepayments are required prior to maturity if the buyer reaches certain levels of EBITDA during specified periods, or upon a sale or liquidation. The buyer covenanted to and did provide funding of at least $10,000 through the initial 18-months after closing. To the extent of such capital being funded but not repaid, we agreed to subordinate our right to repayment under the Note until the buyer has first received a repayment of its funding. Our right to repayment under the Note is subordinated to third-party lenders. The Note is valued using a discounted cash flow model. We used our weighted-average cost of capital as the discount rate to value the Promissory Note from Le Duff, which we deem to be a Level 3 input under the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820. See Note 5 for more information. |
Inventories | ' |
Inventories: We value our Bob Evans Restaurants inventories at the lower of first-in, first-out cost (“FIFO”) or market and our BEF Foods inventories are determined on an average cost method which approximates a FIFO basis due to the perishable nature of our inventory. Inventory includes raw materials and supplies ($14,858 at July 25, 2014, and $16,163 at April 25, 2014) and finished goods ($8,597 at July 25, 2014, and $9,080 at April 25, 2014). |
Property, Plant and Equipment | ' |
Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. The straight-line depreciation method is used for nearly all capitalized assets, although some assets purchased prior to fiscal 1995 continue to be depreciated using accelerated methods. Depreciation is calculated at rates adequate to amortize costs over the estimated useful lives of buildings and improvements (10 to 50 years) and machinery and equipment (3 to 30 years). Improvements to leased properties are depreciated over the shorter of their useful lives or the initial lease terms. |
During the three month period ending July 25, 2014, we reassessed our overall long-range capital plan and revised the anticipated timing for future store remodel initiatives. It is now anticipated that assets capitalized under the Farm Fresh Refresh remodeling program will have an estimated total life of ten years, rather than seven years and accordingly useful lives for those affected assets were modified. The change in useful life estimate for these assets resulted in an $807 reduction of depreciation expense for the quarter. Net of tax, the change impacted net income by $586, and basic earnings per share by $0.02. |
During the three months ended July 25, 2014, and July 26, 2013, we capitalized internal labor costs of $906 and $1,028, respectively, which primarily related to the development of our new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system. |
We evaluate property, plant and equipment held and used in the business for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is determined by comparing the estimated fair value for the asset group to the carrying amount of its assets. If impairment exists, the amount of impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the estimated fair values of the assets. See Note 5 for further information. |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | ' |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill, which represents the cost in excess of fair market value of net assets acquired, was $19,634 as of July 25, 2014, and April 25, 2014. Other intangible assets were $3,231 and $3,270 as of July 25, 2014, and April 25, 2014, respectively. The goodwill and intangible assets are related to the BEF Foods segment. Of the $3,231 of intangible assets, $2,761 represents indefinite-lived trademark assets that are not subject to amortization and $470 represents definite-lived non-compete agreements that are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of five years. Goodwill and trademark intangible assets are tested for impairment during the fourth quarter each year or on a more frequent basis when indicators of impairment exist. |
Earnings Per Share | ' |
Earnings Per Share: Basic earnings-per-share computations are based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period presented. Diluted earnings-per-share calculations reflect the assumed exercise and conversion of outstanding employee stock options. |
The numerator in calculating both basic and diluted earnings per share for each period is reported net (loss) income. The denominator is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. |
The number of dilutive shares outstanding at July 25, 2014, that were not included in the computation of dilutive earnings per share, because to do so would have been antidilutive, was 141,980 shares for the three months ended July 25, 2014. |
Stock-Based Compensation | ' |
Stock-Based Compensation: We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718. Accordingly, stock-based compensation awards are measured on the fair value of the award on the grant date and are recognized over the vesting period of the award on a straight-line basis with the exception of compensation cost related to awards for retirement eligible employees, which are recognized immediately upon grant. |
Other Compensation Plans | ' |
Other Compensation Plans: We have a defined contribution plan (401(k)) that is available to substantially all employees who have at least 1,000 hours of service. We also have nonqualified deferred compensation plans, the Bob Evans Executive Deferral Plan (“BEEDP”) and Bob Evans Directors’ Deferral Plan (“BEDDP”), which provides certain executives and Board of Directors members, respectively, the opportunity to defer a portion of their current income to future years. Our annual matching contributions to the plans are at the discretion of our Board of Directors. The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) provides awards in the form of nonqualified deferred cash compensation. |
Reporting Segments | ' |
Reporting Segments: We have two business segments: Bob Evans Restaurants and BEF Foods. See Note 9 for detailed segment information. |
The revenues from these two segments include both net sales to unaffiliated customers and intersegment net sales, which are accounted for on a basis consistent with net sales to unaffiliated customers. Intersegment net sales and other intersegment transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Operating income represents earnings before interest and income taxes. |
Long-term Investments | ' |
Long-term Investments: Long-term investments include assets held under certain deferred compensation arrangements, which primarily represent the cash surrender value of company-owned life insurance policies. Purchases of company-owned life insurance policies are recorded as investing activities within the Statements of Cash Flows. Long term investments totaled $32,930 and $31,972 as of July 25, 2014, and April 25, 2014, respectively. Change in the cash surrender value for these investments is reflected within the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line (“S,G&A”) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and resulted in a gain, net of fees, of $958 in the three months ended July 25, 2014, as compared to a loss of $482 in the three months ended July 26, 2013. |
Financial Instruments | ' |
Financial Instruments: The fair value of our financial instruments (other than an interest-free loan recorded in long-term debt) approximate their carrying values at July 25, 2014. See Note 5. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. |
Commitments and Contingencies | ' |
Commitments and Contingencies: We rent certain restaurant facilities under operating leases having initial terms that primarily expire 20 years from inception. The leases typically contain renewal clauses of 5 to 30 years exercisable at our option. Most leases contain either fixed or inflation-adjusted escalation clauses. |
We occasionally use purchase commitment contracts to stabilize the potentially volatile pricing associated with certain commodity items. |
We are self-insured for most casualty losses and employee health-care claims up to certain stop-loss limits per claim. We have accounted for liabilities of casualty losses, including both reported claims and incurred but not reported claims, based on information provided by independent actuaries. We have accounted for our employee health-care claims liability through a review of incurred and paid claims history. We do not believe that our calculation of casualty losses and employee health-care claims liabilities would change materially under different conditions and/or different methods. However, due to the inherent volatility of actuarially determined casualty losses and employee health-care claims, it is reasonably possible that we could experience changes in estimated losses, which could be material to quarterly net (loss) income. |
We are from time-to-time involved in ordinary and routine litigation, typically involving claims from customers, employees and others related to operational issues common to the restaurant and food manufacturing industries. Management presently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations. See Note 8 for further information. |
Reclassification | ' |
Reclassification: In order to conform to our current period presentation, we reclassified $2,136 of carryout supplies expense incurred in the three months ended July 26, 2013 from the operating expenses line to the cost of sales line on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We believe that carryout supplies are better classified as a cost of sales expense rather than an other operating expense. Such reclassifications had no impact on reported net (loss) income. |
In order to conform to our current period presentation, we reclassified $2,755 of accrued promotional incentives sales deductions for the year ended April 25, 2014, from the other accrued expenses line to the accounts receivable line on the Consolidated Balance Sheets . We believe that these deductions are better classified in accounts receivable as they are reductions in what is owed to the Company from its customers. |
New Accounting Pronouncements | ' |
New Accounting Pronouncements: In the normal course of business, management evaluates all new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or any other authoritative accounting body to determine the potential impact they may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") issued new joint guidance surrounding revenue recognition. Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP"), this guidance is being introduced to the ASC as Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606"), by Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 ("ASU 2014-09"). The new standard supersedes a majority of existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP, and requires companies to recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled. Companies may need to use more judgment and make more estimates while recognizing revenue, which could result in additional disclosures to the financial statements. Topic 606 allows for either a "full retrospective" adoption or a "modified retrospective" adoption. The standard is effective for us in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. We are currently evaluating which method we will use and the revenue recognition impact this guidance will have once implemented. |
In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity ("ASU 2014-08"), which is an update to existing guidance related to reporting discontinued operations. The updated guidance states that only those disposals of components of an entity which would represent a strategic shift in operations and has or will have a major impact on operations and financial results will be presented as discontinued operations. This update also requires the assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation to be presented separately in the statement of financial position for all prior periods presented. ASU 2014-08 is to be applied prospectively, and is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. This update is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. |
