1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

References to “Brinker,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in this Form 10-Q refer to Brinker International, Inc. and its subsidiaries and any predecessor companies of Brinker International, Inc. Our Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) as of March 27, 2024 and June 28, 2023, and for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended March 27, 2024 and March 29, 2023, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The Company is principally engaged in the ownership, operation, development and franchising of the Chili’s® Grill & Bar (“Chili’s”) and Maggiano’s Little Italy® (“Maggiano’s”) restaurant brands. As of March 27, 2024, we owned, operated or franchised 1,618 restaurants, consisting of 1,176 Company-owned restaurants and 442 franchised restaurants, located in the United States, 27 other countries and two United States territories.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) is in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), and the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses in the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary to fairly state the interim operating results, financial position and cash flows for the respective periods. However, these operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our June 28, 2023 Form 10-K. We believe the disclosures are sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes. All amounts in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) are presented in millions unless otherwise specified.

Foreign Currency Translation

The foreign currency translation adjustment included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Unaudited) represents the unrealized impact of translating the financial statements of our Canadian restaurants from Canadian dollars to United States dollars. This amount is not included in Net income and would only be realized upon disposition of our Canadian restaurants. The related Accumulated other comprehensive loss is presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited).

Effect of New Accounting Standards

We reviewed accounting pronouncements that became effective for our fiscal 2024 and determined that either they were not applicable, or they did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, which would require us to adopt the provisions in our fiscal 2025 10-K. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.

We also reviewed other recently issued accounting pronouncements to be adopted in future periods and determined that they are not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

2. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Deferred Franchise and Development Fees

Our deferred franchise and development fees consist of the unrecognized fees received from franchisees. Recognition of these fees in subsequent periods is based on satisfaction of the contractual performance obligations of our active contracts with franchisees. We also expect to earn subsequent period royalties and advertising fees related to our franchise contracts; however, due to the variability and uncertainty of these future revenues based upon a sales-based measure, these future revenues are not yet estimable as the performance obligations remain unsatisfied.

Deferred franchise and development fees are classified within Other accrued liabilities for the current portion expected to be recognized within the next 12 months, and Other liabilities for the long-term portion in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited).

The following table reflects the changes in deferred franchise and development fees between June 28, 2023 and March 27, 2024:

	Deferred Franchise and Development Fees
Balance as of June 28, 2023	$	11.1
Additions	0.4
Amount recognized to Franchise revenues	(1.7)
Balance as of March 27, 2024	$	9.8

The following table illustrates franchise and development fees expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that were unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of March 27, 2024:

Fiscal Year	Franchise and Development Fees Revenue Recognition
Remainder of 2024	$	0.2
2025	0.8
2026	0.7
2027	0.7
2028	0.6
Thereafter	6.8
	$	9.8

Deferred Gift Card Revenues

Deferred revenues related to our gift cards include the full value of unredeemed gift card balances less recognized breakage and the unamortized portion of third party fees. The following table reflects the changes in the Gift card liability between June 28, 2023 and March 27, 2024:

	Gift Card Liability
Balance as of June 28, 2023	$	73.0
Gift card sales	95.0
Gift card redemptions recognized to Company sales	(91.1)
Gift card breakage recognized to Company sales	(11.0)
Other	0.1
Balance as of March 27, 2024	$	66.0

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under market conditions. Fair value measurements are categorized in three levels based on the types of significant inputs used, as follows:

Level 1	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2	Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 3	Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data

Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts because of the short maturity of these items.

The carrying amount of debt outstanding related to our revolving credit facility approximates fair value as the interest rate on this instrument approximates current market rates (Level 2). The fair values of the 5.000% and 8.250% notes are based on quoted market prices and are considered Level 2 fair value measurements.

The 5.000% notes and 8.250% notes carrying amounts, which are net of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts, and fair values are as follows:

	March 27, 2024				June 28, 2023
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
5.000% notes	$	349.6	$	347.9	$	349.0	$	343.5
8.250% notes	345.0		368.9		344.3		348.3

Non-Financial Assets

The fair values of transferable liquor licenses are based on prices in the open market for licenses in the same or similar jurisdictions and are categorized as Level 2. The fair values of other non-financial assets are determined based on appraisals, sales prices of comparable assets or estimates of discounted cash flow and are categorized as Level 3.

We review the carrying amounts of non-financial assets, primarily long-lived property and equipment, finance lease assets, operating lease assets, reacquired franchise rights, goodwill and transferable liquor licenses annually or when events or circumstances indicate that the fair value may not substantially exceed the carrying amount. We record an impairment charge for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value. Any impairment charges are included in Other (gains) and charges in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Unaudited). During the

11

thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended March 27, 2024 and March 29, 2023, no indicators of impairment were identified.

Intangibles, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited) includes both indefinite-lived intangible assets such as transferable liquor licenses and definite-lived intangible assets such as reacquired franchise rights. Accumulated amortization associated with definite-lived intangible assets at March 27, 2024 and June 28, 2023, was $16.2 million and $15.3 million, respectively.

We typically lease our restaurant facilities through ground leases (where we lease land only, but construct the building and improvements) or retail leases (where we lease the land/retail space and building). In addition to our restaurant facilities, we also lease our corporate headquarters location and certain equipment.

Pre-Commencement Leases

In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we executed one finance lease for Chili’s table-top devices with an initial term of 4 years after a rollout period, commencing as devices are installed. The undiscounted fixed payments over the initial term of the lease for the remaining devices not installed as of March 27, 2024 is $22.1 million.

Additionally, we have executed six leases for new Chili’s locations with undiscounted fixed payments over the initial term of $16.1 million. These leases are expected to commence during the next 12 months and are expected to have an economic lease term of 20 years. These leases will commence when the landlords make the property available to us for new restaurant construction.

6. DEBT

Long-term debt consists of the following:

	March 27, 2024		June 28, 2023
Revolving credit facility	$	51.3	$	161.3

Total long-term debt, less current portion	$	818.5	$	912.2

(1)Obligations under our 5.000% notes, which will mature in October 2024, have been classified as long-term, reflecting our intent and ability to refinance these notes through our existing revolving credit facility.

(2)Current installments of long-term debt consist of finance leases and are recorded within Other accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited). Refer to Note 4 - Accrued Liabilities for further details.

Revolving Credit Facility

In the thirty-nine week period ended March 27, 2024, net repayments of $110.0 million were made on our revolving credit facility. As of March 27, 2024, $848.7 million of credit was available under the revolving credit facility.

The $900.0 million revolving credit facility matures on August 18, 2026 and bears interest of SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 2.25% and an undrawn commitment fee of 0.25% to 0.35%, both based on a function of our debt-to-cash-flow ratio. As of March 27, 2024, our interest rate was 7.20% consisting of SOFR of 5.32% plus the applicable margin and spread adjustment of 1.88%.

Financial Covenants

Our debt agreements contain various financial covenants that, among other things, require the maintenance of certain leverage ratios. As of March 27, 2024, we were in compliance with our covenants pursuant to the $900.0 million revolving credit facility and under the terms of the indentures governing our 5.000% and 8.250% notes.

7. CONTINGENCIES

Lease Commitments

We have, in certain cases, divested brands or sold restaurants to franchisees and have not been released from lease guarantees for the related restaurants. As of March 27, 2024 and June 28, 2023, we have outstanding lease guarantees or are secondarily liable for an estimated $13.2 million and $16.9 million, respectively. These amounts

13

represent the maximum known potential liability of rent payments under the leases, but outstanding rent payments can exist outside of our knowledge as a result of the landlord and tenant relationship being between two third parties. These leases have been assigned to the buyers and expire at the end of the respective lease terms, which range from fiscal 2024 through fiscal 2030.

We have received notices of default and have been named a party in lawsuits pertaining to some of these leases in circumstances where the current lessee did not pay its rent obligations. In the event of default under a lease by an owner of a divested brand, the indemnity and default clauses in our agreements with such third parties and applicable laws govern our ability to pursue and recover amounts we may pay on behalf of such parties. In the thirty-nine week period ended March 27, 2024 we recorded a $0.8 million charge in Other (gains) and charges in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Letters of Credit

We provide letters of credit to various insurers to collateralize obligations for outstanding claims. As of March 27, 2024, we had $5.8 million in undrawn standby letters of credit outstanding. All standby letters of credit are renewable within the next 7 months.

Cyber Security Litigation

In fiscal 2018, we discovered malware at certain Chili’s restaurants that may have resulted in unauthorized access or acquisition of customer payment card data. We settled all claims from payment card companies related to this incident and do not expect material claims from payment card companies in the future. In connection with this event, the Company was also named as a defendant in a putative class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (the “Litigation”) relating to this incident. In the Litigation, plaintiffs assert various claims at the Company’s Chili’s restaurants involving customer payment card information and seek monetary damages in excess of $5.0 million, injunctive and declaratory relief, and attorney’s fees and costs.

The parties have completed their briefing on our petition for writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme Court seeking review of the Eleventh Circuit’s decision to uphold the plaintiff’s damages calculation methodology. We await the Court’s decision whether to take up the matter. Concurrently in the trial court, the court declined to stay the matter and ordered the parties to submit supplemental briefs on the issue of predominance as it relates to class certification in light of the Eleventh Circuit’s ruling on the issue. The parties completed their briefing on March 22, 2024, and now await the court’s ruling. We believe we have defenses and intend to continue defending the Litigation. As such, as of March 27, 2024, we have concluded that a loss, or range of loss, from this matter is not determinable, therefore, we have not recorded a liability related to the Litigation. We will continue to evaluate this matter based on new information as it becomes available.

Legal Proceedings

Evaluating contingencies related to litigation is a process involving judgment on the potential outcome of future events, and the ultimate resolution of litigated claims may differ from our current analysis. Accordingly, we review the adequacy of accruals and disclosures pertaining to litigated matters each quarter in consultation with legal counsel and we assess the probability and range of possible losses associated with contingencies for potential accrual in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We are engaged in various legal proceedings and have certain unresolved claims pending. Liabilities have been established based on our best estimates of our potential liability in certain of these matters. Based upon consultation with legal counsel, management is of the opinion that there are no matters pending or threatened which are expected to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

8. INCOME TAXES

	Thirty-Nine Week Periods Ended
	March 27, 2024		March 29, 2023
Effective income tax rate	8.3	%	(5.2)	%

The federal statutory tax rate was 21.0% for the thirty-nine week periods ended March 27, 2024 and March 29, 2023.

The change in the effective income tax rate in the thirty-nine week period ended March 27, 2024 to the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2023 is primarily due to higher Income before income taxes and the resulting deleverage of the FICA tip tax credit.

9. SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Retirement of Common Stock

During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Board of Directors approved the retirement of 10.0 million shares of Treasury stock for a weighted average price per share of $30.71. As of March 27, 2024, 15.8 million shares remain in treasury.

Share Repurchases

Our Board of Directors approved a $300.0 million share repurchase program during fiscal 2022. Our share repurchase program is used to return capital to shareholders and to minimize the dilutive impact of stock options and other share-based awards. We evaluate potential share repurchases under our plan based on several factors, including our cash position, share price, operational liquidity, proceeds from divestitures, borrowings and planned investment and financing needs.

In the thirty-nine week period ended March 27, 2024, we repurchased 0.8 million shares of our common stock for $25.6 million, including 0.7 million shares purchased for $21.0 million as part of our share repurchase program and 0.1 million shares purchased from team members to satisfy tax withholding obligations on the vesting of restricted shares. These withheld shares of common stock are not considered common stock repurchases under our authorized common stock repurchase plan. As of March 27, 2024, approximately $183.0 million of share repurchase authorization remains under the current share repurchase program.

Stock-based Compensation

The following table presents the restricted share awards granted and related weighted average fair value per share amounts.

	Thirty-Nine Week Periods Ended

Restricted share awards
Restricted share awards granted	0.6		0.7
Weighted average fair value per share	$	33.60	$	29.69

10. NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing Net income by the Basic weighted average shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the calculation of Diluted net income per share, the Basic weighted average shares outstanding is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted share awards. Stock options and restricted share awards with an anti-dilutive effect are

15

not included in the Diluted net income per share calculation. Basic weighted average shares outstanding are reconciled to Diluted weighted average shares outstanding as follows:

	Thirteen Week Periods Ended		Thirty-Nine Week Periods Ended
	March 27, 2024	March 29, 2023	March 27, 2024	March 29, 2023
Basic weighted average shares outstanding	44.3	44.1	44.4	44.0
Dilutive stock options	0.1	0.1	0.1	0.0
Dilutive restricted shares	0.8	0.9	0.7	0.8
Total dilutive impact	0.9	1.0	0.8	0.8
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding	45.2	45.1	45.2	44.8
Awards excluded due to anti-dilutive effect	0.1	0.8	0.6	1.4

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help you understand our Company, our operations and our current operating environment. For an understanding of the significant factors that influenced our performance during the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended March 27, 2024 and March 29, 2023, the MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this quarterly report. All amounts within the MD&A are presented in millions unless otherwise specified.

Overview

The Company is principally engaged in the ownership, operation, development and franchising of the Chili’s® Grill & Bar (“Chili’s”) and Maggiano’s Little Italy® (“Maggiano’s”) restaurant brands. As of March 27, 2024, we owned, operated or franchised 1,618 restaurants, consisting of 1,176 Company-owned restaurants and 442 franchised restaurants, located in the United States, 27 other countries and two United States territories. Our restaurant brands, Chili’s and Maggiano’s, are both operating segments and reporting units.

External Impacts to Our Operating Environment

Our operating results were impacted by geopolitical and other macroeconomic events, leading to higher than usual inflation on wages and food and beverage costs during fiscal 2023 and to a lesser extent during fiscal 2024.

Operations Strategy

We are committed to strategies and a Company culture that we believe will grow sales, increase profits, bring back guests and engage team members. Our strategies and culture are intended to strengthen our position in casual dining and grow our core business over time. Our primary brand strategy is to make our guests feel special through great food and quality service so that they return to our restaurants.

Chili’s - Our strategy is to make everyone feel special through a fun atmosphere, delicious food and drinks and our Chili’s hospitality. We are making work at Chili’s easier, more fun and more rewarding for our team members so that they are more engaged and provide a better experience for our guests. One way we have done this is by eliminating tasks that were unnecessary and did not add value to our guests. We have also simplified our menu to focus on core equities we believe can help grow sales—burgers, fajitas, Chicken Crispers®, and margaritas, as well as other classic favorites. Our team members can make our core menu items better and more consistently because we have fewer menu items that need to be perfected.

We have a flexible platform of value offerings at both lunch and dinner that we believe is compelling to our guests. Our “3 for Me” platform, a flexible value bundle, provides our guests an unbeatable everyday value. Additionally, we have continued our Margarita of the Month promotion that features a premium-liquor margarita every month at an every-day value price. Most of our value propositions are available for guests to enjoy in our dining rooms or off-premise.

In dining rooms, we use tabletop devices to engage our guests at the table. These devices provide functionality for guests to pay at the table, order or re-order, engage in digital entertainment, to provide guest feedback and interact with our My Chili’s Rewards program. Our My Chili’s Rewards loyalty program offers free chips and salsa or a non-alcoholic beverage to members based on their visit frequency. We customize offerings for these guests based on their purchase behavior. Our servers use handheld tablets to place orders for our guests, increasing the efficiency of our team members and allowing orders to reach our kitchen quicker for better service to our guests. Third-party delivery orders for our restaurants are sent directly into our point of sale system, creating efficiencies and a system that allows us to better serve our guests. The operating results for our virtual brand, It’s Just Wings®, are included in the results of our Chili’s brand.

20

Maggiano’s - At Maggiano’s, we are focused on making our guests feel special. This warm and generous hospitality creates an environment where guests come together to celebrate birthdays, weddings and many more special occasions. We have focused on increasing our carry-out and delivery business in recent years by creating partnerships with delivery service providers that have made our restaurants more accessible to guests and helped create an additional significant revenue channel. Our restaurants also have banquet rooms to host large party events and we have begun to renovate these banquet rooms in certain restaurants to provide a better experience for this profitable revenue channel, particularly during the holiday season in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year.

Franchise Partnerships - Our franchisees continue to grow our brands around the world, with 16 new restaurant openings and two new development agreements during the thirty-nine week period ended March 27, 2024. We plan to strategically pursue expansion of Chili’s internationally through development agreements with new and existing franchise partners.

Company Development - The following table details the number of restaurant openings during the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended March 27, 2024 and March 29, 2023, respectively, total full year projected openings in fiscal 2024 and the total restaurants open at each period end:

Share Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors approved a $300.0 million share repurchase program during fiscal 2022. Our share repurchase program is used to return capital to shareholders and to minimize the dilutive impact of stock options and other share-based awards. We evaluate potential share repurchases under our plan based on several factors, including our cash position, share price, operational liquidity, proceeds from divestitures, borrowings and planned investment and financing needs.

In the thirty-nine week period ended March 27, 2024, we repurchased 0.8 million shares of our common stock for $25.6 million, including 0.7 million shares purchased for $21.0 million as part of our share repurchase program and 0.1 million shares purchased from team members to satisfy tax withholding obligations on the vesting of restricted shares. These withheld shares of common stock are not considered common stock repurchases under our authorized common stock repurchase plan. As of March 27, 2024, approximately $183.0 million of share repurchase authorization remains under the current share repurchase program.

Cash Flow Outlook

Cash flow from operations typically provides the company with a significant source of liquidity. Additionally, during fiscal 2023, we increased the capacity under our revolving credit facility by $100.0 million and issued new $350.0 million senior notes that mature in 2030.

Based on the current level of operations, we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, coupled with cash generated from operations and availability under our existing revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet our capital expenditure and working capital needs for at least the next twelve months. We continue to monitor the macro environment and will adjust our overall approach to capital allocation, including share repurchases, as events and macroeconomic trends unfold.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our critical accounting estimates have not changed materially from those previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The impact of recent accounting pronouncements can be found at Note 1 - Basis of Presentation in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

The terms of our revolving credit facility require us to pay interest on outstanding borrowings at SOFR plus an applicable margin based on a function of our debt-to-cash flow ratio. As of March 27, 2024, $51.3 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility. We estimate that a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the current interest rate on the outstanding balance of this variable rate financial instrument as of March 27, 2024 would result in an additional $0.5 million of annual interest expense.

34

Commodity Price Risk

We purchase food and other commodities for use in our operations based on market prices established with our suppliers. While our purchasing commitments partially mitigate the risk of such fluctuations, there is no assurance that supply and demand factors such as inclement weather or recent geopolitical unrest, will not cause the prices of the commodities used in our restaurant operations to fluctuate. Additionally, if there is a time lag between increasing commodity prices and our ability to increase menu prices or if we believe a commodity price increase to be short in duration and we choose not to pass on the cost increases, our short-term financial results could be negatively affected.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the thirteen week period ended March 27, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Information and statements contained in this Form 10-Q, in our other filings with the SEC or in our written and verbal communications that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words like “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “projects,” “continues” and other similar expressions that convey uncertainty about future events or outcomes. Forward-looking statements are based on our current plans and expectations and involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical results or from those projected in forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties are, in many instances, beyond our control. We wish to caution you against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements because of these risks and uncertainties. Except as required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q report are subject to the risks and uncertainties described in Part I, Item IA “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2023, and below in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in this report on Form 10-Q, as well as the risks and uncertainties that generally apply to all businesses. We further caution that it is not possible to identify all risks and uncertainties, and you should not consider the identified factors as a complete list of all risks and uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are: the impact of general economic conditions, including inflation, on economic activity and on our operations; disruptions on our business including consumer demand, costs, product mix, our strategic initiatives, our partners’ supply chains, operations, technology and assets, and our financial performance; the impact of competition; changes in consumer preferences; consumer perception of food safety; reduced consumer discretionary spending; unfavorable publicity; governmental regulations; the Company's ability to meet its business strategy plan; loss of key management personnel; failure to hire and retain high-quality restaurant management and team members; increasing regulation surrounding wage inflation and competitive labor markets; the impact of social media or other unfavorable publicity; reliance on technology and third party delivery providers; failure to protect the security of data of our guests and team members; product availability and supply chain disruptions; regional business and economic conditions; volatility in consumer, commodity, transportation, labor, currency and capital markets; litigation; franchisee success; technology failures; failure to protect our intellectual property; outsourcing; impairment of goodwill or assets; failure to

35

maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; downgrades in credit ratings; changes in estimates regarding our assets; actions of activist shareholders; failure to comply with new environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) requirements; failure to achieve any goals, targets or objectives with respect to ESG matters; adverse weather conditions; terrorist acts; health epidemics or pandemics; tax reform; inadequate insurance coverage and limitations imposed by our credit agreements

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Information regarding legal proceedings is incorporated by reference from Note 7 - Contingencies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q report.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information in this Form 10-Q report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2023, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. It is not possible to predict or identify all risk factors. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business, financial condition or results of operations. Therefore, the risks identified are not intended to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties.

There have been no material changes in the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2023.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Our Board of Directors approved a $300.0 million share repurchase program during fiscal 2022.

During the thirteen week period ended March 27, 2024, we repurchased shares as follows (in millions, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted):

	Total Number of Shares Purchased(1)	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Program	Approximate Dollar Value that May Yet be Purchased Under the Program
December 28, 2023 through January 31, 2024	—	$	—	—	$	183.0

(1)These amounts include shares purchased as part of our publicly announced programs and shares owned and tendered by team members to satisfy tax withholding obligations on the vesting of restricted share awards, which are not deducted from shares available to be purchased under publicly announced programs. Unless otherwise indicated, shares owned and tendered by team members to satisfy tax withholding obligations were purchased at the average of the high and low prices of the Company’s shares on the date of vesting. During the thirteen week period ended March 27, 2024, 10,745 shares were tendered by team members at an average price of $46.16.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

References to “Brinker,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in this Form 10-Q refer to Brinker International, Inc. and its subsidiaries and any predecessor companies of Brinker International, Inc. Our Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) as of March 27, 2024 and June 28, 2023, and for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended March 27, 2024 and March 29, 2023, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The Company is principally engaged in the ownership, operation, development and franchising of the Chili’s® Grill & Bar (“Chili’s”) and Maggiano’s Little Italy® (“Maggiano’s”) restaurant brands. As of March 27, 2024, we owned, operated or franchised 1,618 restaurants, consisting of 1,176 Company-owned restaurants and 442 franchised restaurants, located in the United States, 27 other countries and two United States territories.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) is in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), and the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses in the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary to fairly state the interim operating results, financial position and cash flows for the respective periods. However, these operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our June 28, 2023 Form 10-K. We believe the disclosures are sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes. All amounts in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) are presented in millions unless otherwise specified.

Foreign Currency Translation

The foreign currency translation adjustment included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Unaudited) represents the unrealized impact of translating the financial statements of our Canadian restaurants from Canadian dollars to United States dollars. This amount is not included in Net income and would only be realized upon disposition of our Canadian restaurants. The related Accumulated other comprehensive loss is presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited).

Effect of New Accounting Standards

We reviewed accounting pronouncements that became effective for our fiscal 2024 and determined that either they were not applicable, or they did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, which would require us to adopt the provisions in our fiscal 2025 10-K. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.

We also reviewed other recently issued accounting pronouncements to be adopted in future periods and determined that they are not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue Recognition

Deferred Franchise and Development Fees

Our deferred franchise and development fees consist of the unrecognized fees received from franchisees. Recognition of these fees in subsequent periods is based on satisfaction of the contractual performance obligations of our active contracts with franchisees. We also expect to earn subsequent period royalties and advertising fees related to our franchise contracts; however, due to the variability and uncertainty of these future revenues based upon a sales-based measure, these future revenues are not yet estimable as the performance obligations remain unsatisfied.

Deferred franchise and development fees are classified within Other accrued liabilities for the current portion expected to be recognized within the next 12 months, and Other liabilities for the long-term portion in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited).

The following table reflects the changes in deferred franchise and development fees between June 28, 2023 and March 27, 2024:

	Deferred Franchise and Development Fees
Balance as of June 28, 2023	$	11.1
Additions	0.4
Amount recognized to Franchise revenues	(1.7)
Balance as of March 27, 2024	$	9.8

The following table illustrates franchise and development fees expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that were unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of March 27, 2024:

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

9 Months Ended

Mar. 27, 2024

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under market conditions. Fair value measurements are categorized in three levels based on the types of significant inputs used, as follows:

Level 1	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2	Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 3	Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data

Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts because of the short maturity of these items.

The carrying amount of debt outstanding related to our revolving credit facility approximates fair value as the interest rate on this instrument approximates current market rates (Level 2). The fair values of the 5.000% and 8.250% notes are based on quoted market prices and are considered Level 2 fair value measurements.

The 5.000% notes and 8.250% notes carrying amounts, which are net of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts, and fair values are as follows:

	March 27, 2024				June 28, 2023
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
5.000% notes	$	349.6	$	347.9	$	349.0	$	343.5
8.250% notes	345.0		368.9		344.3		348.3

Non-Financial Assets

The fair values of transferable liquor licenses are based on prices in the open market for licenses in the same or similar jurisdictions and are categorized as Level 2. The fair values of other non-financial assets are determined based on appraisals, sales prices of comparable assets or estimates of discounted cash flow and are categorized as Level 3.

We review the carrying amounts of non-financial assets, primarily long-lived property and equipment, finance lease assets, operating lease assets, reacquired franchise rights, goodwill and transferable liquor licenses annually or when events or circumstances indicate that the fair value may not substantially exceed the carrying amount. We record an impairment charge for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value. Any impairment charges are included in Other (gains) and charges in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Unaudited). During the

thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended March 27, 2024 and March 29, 2023, no indicators of impairment were identified.

Intangibles, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited) includes both indefinite-lived intangible assets such as transferable liquor licenses and definite-lived intangible assets such as reacquired franchise rights. Accumulated amortization associated with definite-lived intangible assets at March 27, 2024 and June 28, 2023, was $16.2 million and $15.3 million, respectively.

Finance lease assets are recorded in Property and equipment, at cost, and the net balance as of March 27, 2024 and June 28, 2023 was $73.5 million and $51.3 million, respectively.

Pre-Commencement Leases

In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we executed one finance lease for Chili’s table-top devices with an initial term of 4 years after a rollout period, commencing as devices are installed. The undiscounted fixed payments over the initial term of the lease for the remaining devices not installed as of March 27, 2024 is $22.1 million.

Additionally, we have executed six leases for new Chili’s locations with undiscounted fixed payments over the initial term of $16.1 million. These leases are expected to commence during the next 12 months and are expected to have an economic lease term of 20 years. These leases will commence when the landlords make the property available to us for new restaurant construction.

CONTINGENCIES

Mar. 27, 2024

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Contingencies

Lease Commitments

We have, in certain cases, divested brands or sold restaurants to franchisees and have not been released from lease guarantees for the related restaurants. As of March 27, 2024 and June 28, 2023, we have outstanding lease guarantees or are secondarily liable for an estimated $13.2 million and $16.9 million, respectively. These amounts

represent the maximum known potential liability of rent payments under the leases, but outstanding rent payments can exist outside of our knowledge as a result of the landlord and tenant relationship being between two third parties. These leases have been assigned to the buyers and expire at the end of the respective lease terms, which range from fiscal 2024 through fiscal 2030.

We have received notices of default and have been named a party in lawsuits pertaining to some of these leases in circumstances where the current lessee did not pay its rent obligations. In the event of default under a lease by an owner of a divested brand, the indemnity and default clauses in our agreements with such third parties and applicable laws govern our ability to pursue and recover amounts we may pay on behalf of such parties. In the thirty-nine week period ended March 27, 2024 we recorded a $0.8 million charge in Other (gains) and charges in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Letters of Credit

We provide letters of credit to various insurers to collateralize obligations for outstanding claims. As of March 27, 2024, we had $5.8 million in undrawn standby letters of credit outstanding. All standby letters of credit are renewable within the next 7 months.

Cyber Security Litigation

In fiscal 2018, we discovered malware at certain Chili’s restaurants that may have resulted in unauthorized access or acquisition of customer payment card data. We settled all claims from payment card companies related to this incident and do not expect material claims from payment card companies in the future. In connection with this event, the Company was also named as a defendant in a putative class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (the “Litigation”) relating to this incident. In the Litigation, plaintiffs assert various claims at the Company’s Chili’s restaurants involving customer payment card information and seek monetary damages in excess of $5.0 million, injunctive and declaratory relief, and attorney’s fees and costs.

The parties have completed their briefing on our petition for writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme Court seeking review of the Eleventh Circuit’s decision to uphold the plaintiff’s damages calculation methodology. We await the Court’s decision whether to take up the matter. Concurrently in the trial court, the court declined to stay the matter and ordered the parties to submit supplemental briefs on the issue of predominance as it relates to class certification in light of the Eleventh Circuit’s ruling on the issue. The parties completed their briefing on March 22, 2024, and now await the court’s ruling. We believe we have defenses and intend to continue defending the Litigation. As such, as of March 27, 2024, we have concluded that a loss, or range of loss, from this matter is not determinable, therefore, we have not recorded a liability related to the Litigation. We will continue to evaluate this matter based on new information as it becomes available.

Legal Proceedings

Evaluating contingencies related to litigation is a process involving judgment on the potential outcome of future events, and the ultimate resolution of litigated claims may differ from our current analysis. Accordingly, we review the adequacy of accruals and disclosures pertaining to litigated matters each quarter in consultation with legal counsel and we assess the probability and range of possible losses associated with contingencies for potential accrual in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We are engaged in various legal proceedings and have certain unresolved claims pending. Liabilities have been established based on our best estimates of our potential liability in certain of these matters. Based upon consultation with legal counsel, management is of the opinion that there are no matters pending or threatened which are expected to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

The federal statutory tax rate was 21.0% for the thirty-nine week periods ended March 27, 2024 and March 29, 2023.

The change in the effective income tax rate in the thirty-nine week period ended March 27, 2024 to the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2023 is primarily due to higher Income before income taxes and the resulting deleverage of the FICA tip tax credit.

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]

Shareholders' Deficit

Retirement of Common Stock

During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Board of Directors approved the retirement of 10.0 million shares of Treasury stock for a weighted average price per share of $30.71. As of March 27, 2024, 15.8 million shares remain in treasury.

Share Repurchases

Our Board of Directors approved a $300.0 million share repurchase program during fiscal 2022. Our share repurchase program is used to return capital to shareholders and to minimize the dilutive impact of stock options and other share-based awards. We evaluate potential share repurchases under our plan based on several factors, including our cash position, share price, operational liquidity, proceeds from divestitures, borrowings and planned investment and financing needs.

In the thirty-nine week period ended March 27, 2024, we repurchased 0.8 million shares of our common stock for $25.6 million, including 0.7 million shares purchased for $21.0 million as part of our share repurchase program and 0.1 million shares purchased from team members to satisfy tax withholding obligations on the vesting of restricted shares. These withheld shares of common stock are not considered common stock repurchases under our authorized common stock repurchase plan. As of March 27, 2024, approximately $183.0 million of share repurchase authorization remains under the current share repurchase program.

NET INCOME PER SHARE

9 Months Ended

Mar. 27, 2024

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing Net income by the Basic weighted average shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the calculation of Diluted net income per share, the Basic weighted average shares outstanding is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted share awards. Stock options and restricted share awards with an anti-dilutive effect are

not included in the Diluted net income per share calculation. Basic weighted average shares outstanding are reconciled to Diluted weighted average shares outstanding as follows:

	Thirteen Week Periods Ended		Thirty-Nine Week Periods Ended
	March 27, 2024	March 29, 2023	March 27, 2024	March 29, 2023

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Our operating segments are Chili’s and Maggiano’s. The Chili’s segment includes the results of our Company-owned Chili’s restaurants, which are principally located in the United States, within the full-service casual dining segment of the industry. The Chili’s segment also has Company-owned restaurants in Canada, and franchised locations in the United States, 27 other countries and two United States territories. The Maggiano’s segment includes the results of our Company-owned Maggiano’s restaurants in the United States as well as the results from our domestic franchise business. Costs related to our restaurant support teams for the Chili’s and Maggiano’s brands, including operations, finance, franchise, marketing, human resources and culinary innovation are included in the results of our operating segments. The Corporate segment includes costs related to the common and shared infrastructure, including accounting, information technology, purchasing, guest relations, and legal and restaurant development.

Company sales for each segment include revenues generated by the operation of Company-owned restaurants including food and beverage sales, net of discounts, gift card breakage, Maggiano’s banquet service charge income, delivery, digital entertainment revenues, merchandise income and are net of gift card discounts from third-party gift card sales. Franchise revenues for each operating segment include royalties, franchise advertising fees, franchise and development fees and gift card equalization.

We do not rely on any major customers as a source of sales, and the customers and long-lived assets of our operating segments are predominantly located in the United States. There were no material transactions amongst our operating segments.

Our chief operating decision maker uses Operating income as the measure for assessing performance of our segments. Operating income includes revenues and expenses directly attributable to segment-level results of operations. Restaurant expenses during the periods presented primarily include restaurant rent, repairs and maintenance, advertising, utilities, supplies, delivery fees, payment processing fees, franchise and property taxes, supervision expenses, to-go supplies, and workers’ compensation and general liability insurance.

The following tables reconcile our segment results to our consolidated results reported in accordance with GAAP:

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) is in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), and the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses in the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary to fairly state the interim operating results, financial position and cash flows for the respective periods. However, these operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our June 28, 2023 Form 10-K. We believe the disclosures are sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes. All amounts in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) are presented in millions unless otherwise specified.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

The foreign currency translation adjustment included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Unaudited) represents the unrealized impact of translating the financial statements of our Canadian restaurants from Canadian dollars to United States dollars. This amount is not included in Net income and would only be realized upon disposition of our Canadian restaurants. The related Accumulated other comprehensive loss is presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited).

Effect of New Accounting Standards

Effect of New Accounting Standards

We reviewed accounting pronouncements that became effective for our fiscal 2024 and determined that either they were not applicable, or they did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, which would require us to adopt the provisions in our fiscal 2025 10-K. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.

We also reviewed other recently issued accounting pronouncements to be adopted in future periods and determined that they are not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).
