JACK IN THE BOX INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Jack in the
Box Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition and
results of operations for the interim periods have been included. Operating
results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the
results for any other interim period or for the full year. The Company
reports results quarterly with the first quarter having 16 weeks and each
remaining quarter having 12 weeks. Certain financial statement
reclassifications have been made in the prior year to conform to the
current year presentation. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the 1999 financial statements.
2. The Company adopted Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, Accounting for the
Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, in 2000.
SOP 98-1 requires that certain costs related to the development or purchase
of internal use software be capitalized and amortized over the estimated
useful life of the software. The Statement also requires that costs related
to the preliminary project stage and the post-implementation/operations
stage of an internal use computer software development project be expensed
as incurred. The adoption of SOP 98-1 did not result in a material impact
in the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
3. The income tax provisions reflect the projected annual tax rate of 37% of
earnings before income taxes in 2000 and the actual tax rate of 37% of
pretax earnings in 1999. The favorable income tax rates result from the
Company's ability to realize previously unrecognized tax benefits. The
Company cannot determine with certainty the 2000 annual tax rate until the
end of the fiscal year; thus the rate could differ from expectations.
4. Contingent Liabilities
On February 2, 1995, an action by Concetta Jorgensen was filed against the
Company in the U.S. District Court in San Francisco, California alleging
that restrooms at a JACK IN THE BOX restaurant failed to comply with laws
regarding disabled persons and seeking damages in unspecified amounts,
punitive damages, injunctive relief, attorneys' fees and prejudgment
interest. In an amended complaint, damages were also sought on behalf of
all physically disabled persons who were allegedly denied access to
restrooms at the restaurant. In February 1997, the Court ordered that the
action for injunctive relief proceed as a nationwide class action on behalf
of all persons in the United States with mobility disabilities. The Company
has reached agreement on settlement terms both as to the individual
plaintiff Concetta Jorgensen and the claims for injunctive relief, and the
settlement agreement has been approved by the U.S. District Court. The
settlement requires the Company to make access improvements at
Company-operated restaurants to comply with the standards set forth in the
Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") Access Guidelines. The settlement
requires compliance at 85% of the Company-operated restaurants by April
2001 and for the balance of Company-operated restaurants by October 2005.
The Company has begun to make modifications to its restaurants to improve
accessibility and anticipates investing an estimated $19 million in capital
improvements in connection with these modifications, including
5
approximately $6 million spent through January 23, 2000. Similar claims
have been made against JACK IN THE BOX franchisees and the Company relating
to franchised locations which may not be in compliance with the ADA. The
relief sought is (i) injunctive relief to bring these additional
restaurants into compliance with the ADA, (ii) monitoring expenses to
ensure compliance and (iii) attorneys' fees.
On November 5, 1996, an action was filed by the National JIB Franchisee
Association, Inc. (the "Franchisee Association") and several of the
Company's franchisees in the Superior Court of California, County of San
Diego in San Diego, California, against the Company and others. The lawsuit
alleged that certain Company policies are unfair business practices and
violate sections of the California Corporations Code regarding material
modifications of franchise agreements and interfere with franchisees' right
of association. It sought injunctive relief, a declaration of the rights
and duties of the parties, unspecified damages and rescission of alleged
material modifications of plaintiffs' franchise agreements. The complaint
contained allegations of fraud, breach of a fiduciary duty and breach of a
third party beneficiary contract in connection with certain payments that
the Company received from suppliers and sought unspecified damages,
interest, punitive damages and an accounting. However, on August 31, 1998,
the Court granted the Company's request for summary judgment on all claims
regarding an accounting, conversion, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and
breach of third party beneficiary contracts. On March 10, 1999, the Court
granted motions by the Company, ruling, in essence, that the franchisees
would be unable to prove their remaining claims. On April 22, 1999, the
Court entered an order granting the Company's motion to enforce a
settlement with the Franchisee Association covering various aspects of the
franchise relationship, but involving no cash payments by the Company. In
accordance with that order, the Franchisee Association's claims were
dismissed with prejudice. On June 10, 1999, a final judgment was entered in
favor of the Company and against those plaintiffs with whom the Company did
not settle. The Franchisee Association and certain individual plaintiffs
filed an appeal on August 13, 1999. The Company has settled with all
franchisees except one individual franchisee and the three corporate
entities in which that franchisee owns a substantial interest. Those
entities continue to pursue the appeal. Settlements have involved no cash
payments by the Company. Management intends to vigorously defend the
appeal.
On December 10, 1996, a suit was filed by the Company's Mexican licensee,
Foodmex, Inc., in the U.S. District Court in San Diego, California against
the Company and its international franchising subsidiary. Foodmex formerly
operated several JACK IN THE BOX franchise restaurants in Mexico, but its
licenses were terminated by the Company for, among other reasons, chronic
insolvency and failure to meet operational standards. The Foodmex suit
alleged wrongful termination of its master license, breach of contract and
unfair competition and sought an injunction to prohibit termination of its
license as well as unspecified monetary damages. The Company and its
subsidiary counterclaimed and sought a preliminary injunction against
Foodmex. On February 24, 1998, the Court issued an order dismissing
Foodmex's complaint without prejudice. In March 1998, Foodmex filed a
Second Amended Complaint in the U.S. District Court in San Diego,
California alleging contractual, tort and law violations arising out of the
same business relationship and seeking damages in excess of $10 million,
attorneys' fees and costs. On June 25, 1999, the Court granted the
Company's motion for summary judgement on the plaintiff's Second Amended
Complaint, resulting in the complete dismissal of Foodmex's claim against
6
the Company. On the same day, the Court granted the Company's motion for
partial summary judgement on its breach of contract, trademark
infringement, unfair competition and related claims, including the
Company's claim for a permanent injunction. The Court ordered Foodmex to
cease using any of the Company's proprietary marks, and ordered it to cause
its Mexican sublicensees to cease using any of the Company's proprietary
marks. On December 22, 1999 Foodmex filed for bankruptcy protection in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada under Chapter 7
of the bankruptcy laws. While the Company continues to seek damages for
Foodmex's breach of promissory note, the remaining issues and amounts at
issue are not material to the Company's results of operations or financial
condition. No trial date has been set.
The Company is also subject to normal and routine litigation. The amount of
liability from the claims and actions against the Company cannot be
determined with certainty, but in the opinion of management, the ultimate
liability from all pending legal proceedings, asserted legal claims and
known potential legal claims which are probable of assertion should not
materially affect the results of operations and liquidity of the Company.

JACK IN THE BOX INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
All comparisons under this heading between 2000 and 1999 refer to the
16-week periods ended January 23, 2000 and January 17, 1999, respectively,
unless otherwise indicated.
Restaurant sales increased $63.8 million, or 16.6%, to $448.2 million
in 2000 from $384.4 million in 1999, reflecting increases in both the number of
Company-operated restaurants and in per store average ("PSA") sales. The average
number of Company-operated restaurants increased 11.3% to 1,203 in 2000 from
1,081 restaurants in 1999. PSA sales for comparable Company-operated
restaurants, those open more than one year, grew 5.7% in 2000 compared with the
same period in 1999. Sales growth resulted from increases in the average number
of transactions of 3.4% and average transaction amounts of 2.3% compared to a
year ago. Management believes that the sales growth is attributable to effective
advertising and strategic initiatives, including the Assemble-To-Order program
in which sandwiches are made when customers order them, new menu boards that
showcase combo meals and an order confirmation system at drive-thru windows.
Distribution and other sales increased $5.2 million to $15.5 million in
2000 from $10.3 million in 1999, primarily due to an increase in fuel and
convenience store sales to $7.0 million in 2000 from $1.8 million in 1999. At
quarter-end, the Company had seven locations compared with two a year ago.
Franchise rents and royalties increased $.9 million to $12.6 million in
2000 from $11.7 million in 1999, which represent approximately 10.5% of
franchise restaurant sales in both years. Franchise restaurant sales grew 7.1%
to $120.6 million in 2000 from $112.6 million in 1999, benefiting from the
Company's strategic initiatives described above.
Other revenues, primarily interest income from investments and notes
receivable, declined slightly to $.4 million in 2000 from $.7 million in 1999.
Restaurant costs of sales and operating costs increased with sales
growth and the addition of Company-operated restaurants. Restaurant costs of
sales, which include food and packaging costs, increased to $140.0 million in
2000 from $123.6 million in 1999. As a percent of restaurant sales, costs of
sales declined to 31.2% in 2000 from 32.1% in 1999, primarily due to lower
ingredient costs, especially cheese, shortening and produce.
Restaurant operating costs increased to $221.2 million in 2000 from
$187.3 million in 1999. As a percent of restaurant sales, operating costs
increased to 49.4% in 2000 from 48.7% in 1999, reflecting cost increases related
to initiatives designed to improve the overall guest experience and slightly
higher percentages of labor-related expenses.
Costs of distribution and other sales increased to $15.3 million in
2000 from $10.2 million in 1999, reflecting an increase in the related sales. As
a percent of distribution and other sales, these costs were 98.7% in 2000
compared to 98.8% a year ago.
8
Franchise restaurant costs, which consist principally of rents and
depreciation on properties leased to franchisees and other miscellaneous costs,
declined to $6.1 million in 2000 from $7.2 million in 1999, primarily due to
lower franchise-related legal expenses.
Selling, general and administrative costs increased to $53.5 million in
2000 from $44.9 million in 1999. Advertising and promotion costs increased $3.0
million to $22.8 million in 2000 from $19.8 million in 1999, slightly over 5% of
restaurant sales in both quarters. General, administrative and other costs
increased to $30.7 million, or 6.4% of revenues, in 2000 from $25.1 million, or
6.2% of revenues, in 1999, primarily due to a decision to increase staffing
levels in the field to accommodate the growth program and other costs to support
restaurant and revenue growth.
Interest expense declined $.7 million to $8.3 million in 2000 from $9.0
million in 1999 reflecting a reduction in total average debt during the quarter
compared to a year ago.
The income tax provisions reflect the projected annual tax rate of 37%
of earnings before income taxes in 2000 and the actual tax rate of 37% of pretax
earnings in 1999. The favorable income tax rates result from the Company's
ability to realize previously unrecognized tax benefits. The Company cannot
determine with certainty the 2000 annual tax rate until the end of the fiscal
year; thus the rate could differ from expectations.
Net earnings increased $4.6 million, or $.12 per diluted share, to
$20.4 million, or $.52 per diluted share, in 2000 from $15.8 million, or $.40
per diluted share, in 1999. The earnings improvement reflects the impact of
sales growth and improved margins.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $3.4 million to $7.5 million at
January 23, 2000 from $10.9 million at the beginning of the fiscal year. The
Company expects to maintain low levels of cash and cash equivalents, reinvesting
available cash flows from operations to develop new or enhance existing
restaurants, and to reduce borrowings under the revolving credit agreement.
The Company's working capital deficit decreased $38.2 million to $93.6
million at January 23, 2000 from $131.8 million at October 3, 1999, primarily
due to a decline in current liabilities. The Company and the restaurant industry
in general maintain relatively low levels of accounts receivable and inventories
and vendors grant trade credit for purchases such as food and supplies. The
Company also continually invests in its business through the addition of new
units and refurbishment of existing units, which are reflected as long-term
assets and not as part of working capital.
In 1998, the Company entered into a new revolving bank credit
agreement, which provides for a credit facility expiring in 2003 of up to $175
million, including letters of credit of up to $25 million. At January 23, 2000,
the Company had borrowings of $110 million and approximately $58.5 million of
availability under the agreement. Total debt outstanding increased to $329.6
million at January 23, 2000 from $305.2 million at the beginning of the fiscal
year reflecting additional borrowings under the credit agreement which were used
to reduce current liabilities.
The Company is subject to a number of covenants under its various debt
instruments including limitations on additional borrowings, capital
expenditures, lease commitments and dividend payments, and requirements to
maintain certain financial ratios, cash flows and net worth. The bank credit
9
facility is secured by a first priority security interest in certain assets and
properties of the Company. In addition, certain of the Company's real estate and
equipment secure other indebtedness.
The Company requires capital principally to grow the business through
new restaurant construction, as well as to maintain, improve and refurbish
existing restaurants, and for general operating purposes. The Company's primary
sources of liquidity are expected to be cash flows from operations, the
revolving bank credit facility, and the sale and leaseback of restaurant
properties. Additional potential sources of liquidity include financing
opportunities and the conversion of Company-operated restaurants to franchised
restaurants. Based upon current levels of operations and anticipated growth, the
Company expects that cash flows from operations, combined with other financing
alternatives available, will be sufficient to meet debt service, capital
expenditure and working capital requirements.
Although the amount of liability from claims and actions against the
Company cannot be determined with certainty, management believes the ultimate
liability of such claims and actions should not materially affect the results of
operations and liquidity of the Company.
On December 3, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
purchase of the Company's outstanding common stock in the open market for an
aggregate amount not to exceed $10 million. At January 23, 2000, the Company had
acquired 127,800 shares for an aggregate cost of $2.4 million.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's primary exposure relating to financial instruments is to
changes in interest rates. The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to
reduce exposure to interest rate fluctuations. At January 23, 2000, the Company
had a $25 million notional amount interest rate swap agreement expiring in June
2001. This agreement effectively converts a portion of the Company's variable
rate bank debt to fixed rate debt and has a pay rate of 6.38%.
The Company's credit facility bears interest at an annual rate equal to
the prime rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus an applicable
margin based on a financial leverage ratio. As of January 23, 2000, the
Company's applicable margin was set at 0.625%. During the first quarter of
fiscal year 2000, the average interest rate on the credit facility was 6.7%.
At January 23, 2000, a hypothetical one percentage point increase in
short-term interest rates would result in a reduction of $0.85 million in annual
pre-tax earnings. The estimated reduction is based on holding the unhedged
portion of bank debt at its January 23, 2000 level.
At January 23, 2000, the Company had no other material financial
instruments subject to significant market exposure.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Company's Year 2000 Activities. In 1995, the Company began to
prepare a plan to address the impact of the arrival of the Year 2000 on its
business. The Company assessed its information technology systems and embedded
microprocessor technology to determine which required modification or
replacement and which are critical to the Company's operations. The Company
10
applied internal and external resources to upgrade, repair or replace
significant systems that were not Year 2000 ready and had contingency plans in
place for any unavoidable Year 2000 risks. There can be no assurance that the
Company will not incur Year 2000 related problems in the future, but the Company
has incurred no significant Year 2000 related problems to date.
The Company's Franchisees. Approximately one-fifth of JACK IN THE BOX
restaurants are operated by franchisees. The Company provided information to its
franchisees about the business risks associated with the Year 2000 and shared
information with franchisees regarding the compliance status of point-of-sale
hardware and software and other restaurant equipment. The Company replaced, at
franchisees' expense, the non-compliant personal computers it had leased and
non-compliant software it had licensed to franchisees of approximately 92% of
franchised restaurants. Franchisees have not reported any significant Year 2000
related problems.
The Costs to Address the Company's Year 2000 Issues. At January 23,
2000, the Company had incurred costs of approximately $13 million, which
substantially completed its Year 2000 efforts, with approximately 25% relating
to new systems which have been or will be capitalized. Some planned system
replacements, which are anticipated to provide significant future benefits, were
accelerated due to Year 2000 concerns.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements
including, but not limited to, the Company's expectations regarding its
effective tax rate, its continuing investment in new restaurants and
refurbishment of existing facilities, Year 2000 compliance and sources of
liquidity. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of
the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project" and
similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown
risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from
expectations. The following is a discussion of some of those factors. The
Company's tax provision is highly sensitive to expected earnings and as
expectations change the Company's income tax provision may vary more
significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year than companies which have
been continuously profitable. However, the Company's effective tax rates are
expected to increase in the future. There can be no assurances that growth
objectives in the regional domestic markets in which the Company operates will
be met or that capital will be available for refurbishment of existing
facilities. Additional risk factors associated with the Company's business are
detailed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 133 requires
that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.
This Statement was amended by SFAS 137 which defers the effective date to all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133 is
effective for the Company's first quarter in the fiscal year ending September
30, 2001 and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
