Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Luby’s, Inc. (the “Company”, "we", "our", "us", or “Luby’s”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements that are prepared for our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter and three quarters ended
June 5, 2019
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending
August 28, 2019
.
The consolidated balance sheet dated
August 29, 2018
, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”), has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. However, this Form 10-Q does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited, year-end financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
August 29, 2018
.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
We transitioned to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) from ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and ASC Topic 953-605, Franchisors - Revenue Recognition (together, the “Previous Standards”) on August 30, 2018. Our transition to ASC 606 represents a change in accounting principle. ASC 606 eliminates industry-specific guidance and provides a single model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of ASC 606 is that a reporting entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the reporting entity expects to be entitled for the exchange of those goods or services.
We adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts that were not completed at August 29, 2018. Due to the short term nature of a significant portion of our contracts with customers, we have elected to apply the practical expedients under ASC 606 to: (1) not adjust the consideration for the effects of a significant financing component, (2) recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as expense when incurred and (3) not disclose the value of our unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.
The adoption of ASC 606 did not have an impact on the recognition of revenues from our primary source of revenue from our Company owned restaurants (except for recognition of breakage and discounts on gift cards, as discussed below), revenues from our culinary contract services, vending revenue or ongoing franchise royalty fees, which are based on a percentage of franchisee sales. The adoption did impact the recognition of initial franchise fees and area development fees and gift card breakage.
The adoption of ASC 606 requires us to recognize initial and renewal franchise and development fees on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreement, which is usually
20 years
. Historically, we have recognized revenue from initial franchise and development fees upon the opening of a franchised restaurant when we have completed all our material obligations and initial services.
Additionally, ASC 606 requires gift card breakage to be recognized as revenue in proportion to the pattern of gift card redemptions exercised by our customers. Historically, we recorded breakage income within other (expense) income (and not within revenue) when it was deemed remote that the unused gift card balance will be redeemed.
Upon adoption of ASC 606 we changed our reporting of marketing and advertising fund (“MAF”) contributions from franchisees and the related marketing and advertising expenditures. Under the Previous Standards, we did not reflect MAF contributions from franchisees and MAF expenditures in our statements of operations. Although the gross amounts of our revenues and expenses are impacted by the recognition of franchisee MAF fund contributions and related expenditures of MAF funds we manage, increases to gross revenues and expenses did not result in a material net impact to our statement of operations.
Our consolidated financial statements reflect the application of ASC 606 beginning in fiscal year 2019, while our consolidated financial statements for prior periods were prepared under the guidance of the Previous Standards. The
$2.5 million
cumulative effect of our adoption of ASC 606 is reflected as an increase to our
August 30, 2018
shareholders’ equity with a corresponding decrease to accrued expenses and other liabilities and was comprised of (1) a reduction to accrued expense and other liabilities of
$3.1 million
to adjust the unused gift card liability balance as if the gift card breakage guidance had been applied prior to
August 30, 2018
and (2) an increase to accrued expense and other liabilities of
$0.6 million
to adjust the unearned franchise fees for the fees received through the end of fiscal year 2018 that would have been deferred and recognized over the term of the franchise agreement if the new guidance had been applied prior to
August 30, 2018
.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update provides clarification regarding how certain cash receipts and disbursements are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. We adopted ASU 2016-15 on August 30, 2018 using the retrospective method of adoption. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash. This update addresses the diversity in practice on how to classify and present changes in restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The update requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in addition to changes in cash and cash equivalents. Entities are also required to disclose information about the nature of the restrictions and amounts described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. Also, when cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one line on the balance sheet, an entity must reconcile these amounts to the total shown on the statement of cash flows. We adopted ASU 2016-18 effective August 30, 2018 using the retrospective method of adoption. Our adoption of ASU 2016-18 represents a change in accounting principle. Our consolidated statement of cash flow for the three quarters ended June 6, 2018 has been revised to reflect the application of ASU 2016-18. See Note 2 for the reconciliation and disclosures regarding the restrictions required by this update. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements - "to be Adopted"
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11, 2018-20 and 2019-01, which were targeted improvements to ASU 2016-02 (collectively, with ASU 2016-02, “ASC 842”) and provided entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new lease standard. ASC 842 requires a lessee to recognize a liability to make lease payments and a corresponding right-of-use asset on the balance sheet, as well as provide additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASC 842 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. ASC 842 may be adopted using the modified retrospective method, which requires application to all comparative periods presented (the “comparative method”) or alternatively, as of the effective date of initial application without restating comparative period financial statements (the “effective date method”). We will adopt ASC 842 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 using the effective date method. The ASC 842 also provides several practical expedients and policies that companies may elect under either transition method.
We are implementing a new lease tracking and accounting system in connection with the adoption of ASC 842. Based on a preliminary assessment, we expect that most of our operating lease commitments will be subject to the new standard and we will record operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption, resulting in a significant increase in the assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. We expect to elect the package of practical expedients which will allow us not to reassess previous accounting conclusions regarding lease identification and classification for existing or expired leases as of the date of adoption. We also expect to elect the short-term lease recognition exemption, which provides the option to not recognize right-of-use assets and related liabilities for leases with terms of 12 months or less. We are continuing our assessment of the other practical expedients and policy elections available under ASC 842. We are continuing our assessment of the impact of adoption, which may identify additional impacts to our consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent Events
We evaluated events subsequent to
June 5, 2019
through the date the financial statements were issued to determine if the nature and significance of the events warrant inclusion in our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Revenue Recognition
Restaurant Sales
Restaurant sales consist of sales of food and beverage products to restaurant guests at our Luby’s Cafeteria, Fuddruckers and Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants. Revenue from restaurant sales is recognized at the point of sale and is presented net of discounts, coupons, employee meals and complimentary meals. Sales taxes that we collect and remit to the appropriate taxing authority related to these sales are excluded from revenue.
We sell gift cards to our customers in our venues and through certain third-party distributors. These gift cards do not expire and do not incur a service fee on unused balances. Sales of gift cards to our restaurant customers are initially recorded as a contract liability, included in accrued expenses and other liabilities, at their expected redemption value. When gift cards are redeemed, we recognize revenue and reduce the contract liability. Discounts on gift cards sold by third parties are recorded as a reduction to accrued expenses and other liabilities and are recognized, as a reduction to revenue, over a period that approximates redemption patterns. The portion of gift cards sold to customers that are never redeemed is commonly referred to as gift card breakage. Under ASC 606 we recognize gift card breakage revenue in proportion to the pattern of gift card redemptions exercised by our customers, using an estimated breakage rate based on our historical experience. Under the Previous Standards, we recognized gift card breakage income within other (expense) income (and not within revenue) when it was deemed remote that the unused gift card balance would be redeemed.
Culinary contract services revenue
Our Culinary Contract Services segment provides food, beverage and catering services to our clients at their locations. Depending on the type of client and service, we are either paid directly by our client and/or directly by the customer to whom we have been provided access by our client.
We typically use one of the following types of client contracts:
Fee-Based Contracts.
Revenue from fee-based contracts is based on our costs incurred and invoiced to the client along with the agreed management fee, which may be calculated as a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of sales or other variable measure. Some fee-based contracts entitle us to receive incentive fees based upon our performance under the contract, as measured by factors such as sales, operating costs and client satisfaction surveys. This potential incentive revenue is allocated entirely to the management services performance obligation. We recognize revenue from our management fee and payroll cost reimbursement over time as the services are performed. We recognize revenue from our food and 3
rd
party purchases reimbursement at the point in time when the vendor delivers the goods or performs the services.
Profit and Loss Contracts.
Revenue from profit and loss contracts consist primarily of sales made to consumers, typically with little or no subsidy charged to clients. Revenue is recognized at the point of sale to the consumer. Sales taxes that we collect and remit to the appropriate taxing authority related to these sales are excluded from revenue.
As part of client contracts, we sometimes make payments to clients, such as concession rentals, vending commissions and profit share. These payments are accounted for as operating costs when incurred.
Revenue from the sale of frozen foods includes royalty fees based on a percentage of frozen food sales and is recognized at the point in time when product is delivered by our contracted manufacturers to the retail outlet.
Franchise revenues
Franchise revenues consist primarily of royalties, marketing and advertising fund (“MAF”) contributions, initial and renewal franchise fees, and upfront fees from area development agreements related to our Fuddruckers restaurant brand. Our performance obligations under franchise agreements consist of: (1) a franchise license, including a license to use our brand and MAF management, (2) pre-opening services, such as training and inspections and (3) ongoing services, such as development of training materials and menu items as well as restaurant monitoring and inspections. These performance obligations are highly interrelated, so we do not consider them to be individually distinct. We account for them under ASC 606 as a single performance obligation, which is satisfied over time by providing a right to use our intellectual property over the term of each franchise agreement.
Royalties, including franchisee MAF contributions, are calculated as a percentage of franchise restaurant sales. MAF contributions paid by franchisees are used for the creation and development of brand advertising, marketing and public relations, merchandising research and related programs, activities and materials. The initial franchisee fee is payable upon execution of the franchise agreement and the renewal fee is due and payable at the expiration of the initial term of the franchise agreement. Our franchise agreement royalties, including advertising fund contributions, represent sales-based royalties that are related entirely to our performance obligation under the franchise agreement and are recognized as franchise sales occur.
Initial and renewal franchise fees and area development fees are recognized as revenue over the term of the respective agreement. Area development fees are not distinct from franchise fees, so upfront fees paid by franchisees for exclusive development rights are deferred and apportioned to each franchise restaurant opened by the franchisee. The pro-rata amount apportioned to each restaurant is accounted for as an initial franchise fee.
Under the Previous Standards, initial franchise fees and area development fees were recognized as revenue when the related restaurant commenced operations and we completed all material pre-opening services and conditions. Renewal franchise fees were recognized as revenue upon execution of a new franchise agreement. MAF contributions from franchisees and the related MAF expenditures were accounted for on a net basis in our consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue from vending machine sales is recorded at the point in time when the sale occurs.
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities consist of (1) deferred revenue resulting from initial and renewal franchise fees and upfront area development fees paid by franchisees, which are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying agreement, (2) liability for unused gift cards and (3) unamortized discount on gift cards sold to 3
rd
party retailers. These contract liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The following table reflects the change in contract liabilities between the date of adoption (
August 30, 2018

). If the franchise agreement is terminated, the deferred franchise fee will be recognized in full in the period of termination.
Disaggregation of Total Revenues
For the
three quarters ended
June 5, 2019
, total sales of
$252.1 million
was comprised of revenue from performance obligations satisfied over time of
$17.7 million
and revenue from performance obligations satisfied at a point in time of
$234.4 million
. For the
quarter ended
June 5, 2019
, total sales of
$74.8 million
was comprised of revenue from performance obligations satisfied over time of
$5.4 million
and revenue from performance obligations satisfied at a point in time of
$69.4 million
. See Note 5. Reportable Segments for disaggregation of revenue by reportable segment.
With the exception of the cumulative effect adjustment described in Note 1, the adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements for the
three quarters ended
June 5, 2019
.
Note 4. Accounting Periods
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last Wednesday in August. Accordingly, each fiscal year normally consists of 13 four-week periods, or accounting periods, accounting for 364 days in the aggregate. However, every fifth or sixth year, we have a fiscal year that consists of 53 weeks, accounting for 371 days in the aggregate. The first fiscal quarter consists of four four-week periods, or 16 weeks, and the remaining three quarters typically include three four-week periods, or 12 weeks, in length. The fourth fiscal quarter includes 13 weeks in certain fiscal years to adjust for our standard 52 week, or 364 day, fiscal year compared to the 365 day calendar year.
Note 5. Reportable Segments
The Company has
three
reportable segments: Company-owned restaurants, Culinary Contract Services (“CCS”), and Franchise Operations.
Company-owned restaurants
Company-owned restaurants consists of several brands which are aggregated into
one
reportable segment because the nature of the products and services, the production processes, the customers, the methods used to distribute the products and services, the nature of the regulatory environment, and store level profit margins are similar. The chief operating decision maker analyzes Company-owned restaurants at store level profit which is revenue less cost of food, payroll and related costs, other operating expenses, and occupancy costs. The primary brands are Luby’s Cafeterias, Fuddruckers - World’s Greatest Hamburgers
®
and Cheeseburger in Paradise. All company-owned restaurants are casual dining restaurants. Each restaurant is an operating segment because operating results and cash flow can be determined for each restaurant.
The total number of Company-owned restaurants was
130
at
June 5, 2019
and
146
at
August 29, 2018
.
Culinary Contract Services
CCS, branded as Luby’s Culinary Services, is a business line servicing healthcare, sport stadiums, corporate dining clients, and sales through retail grocery stores. The healthcare accounts are full service and typically include in-room delivery, catering, vending, coffee service, and retail dining. CCS has contracts with long-term acute care hospitals, acute care medical centers, ambulatory surgical centers, retail grocery stores, behavioral hospitals, sports stadiums, a senior care facility, government, business and industry clients. CCS has the unique ability to deliver quality services that include facility design and procurement as well as nutrition and branded food services to our clients. The cost of Culinary Contract Services on the consolidated statements of operations includes all food, payroll and related costs, other operating expenses, and other direct general and administrative expenses related to CCS sales. The total number of CCS locations was
32
at
June 5, 2019
and
28
at
August 29, 2018
.
CCS began selling Luby's Famous Fried Fish, Macaroni & Cheese and Chicken Tetrazzini in February 2017, December 2016, and May, 2019, respectively, in the freezer section of H-E-B stores, a Texas-born retailer. H-E-B stores now stock the family-sized versions of Luby's Classic Macaroni and Cheese and Luby's Jalapeño Macaroni and Cheese varieties as well as Luby's Fried Fish.
Franchise Operations
We offer franchises for the Fuddruckers brand. Franchises are sold in markets where expansion is deemed advantageous to the development of the Fuddruckers concept and system of restaurants. Initial franchise agreements have a term of
20
years. Franchise agreements typically grant franchisees an exclusive territorial license to operate a single restaurant within a specified area.
Franchisees bear all direct costs involved in the development, construction, and operation of their restaurants. In exchange for a franchise fee, the Company provides assistance to franchisees in the following areas: site selection, prototypical architectural plans, interior and exterior design and layout, training, marketing and sales techniques, assistance by a Fuddruckers “opening team” at the time a franchised restaurant opens, as well as accounting and operational guidelines set forth in various policies and procedures manuals.
All franchisees are required to operate their restaurants in accordance with Fuddruckers’ standards and specifications, including controls over menu items, food quality, and preparation. The Company requires the successful completion of its training program by a minimum of
three
managers for each franchised restaurant. In addition, franchised restaurants are evaluated regularly by the Company for compliance with franchise agreements, including standards and specifications through the use of periodic, unannounced, on-site inspections, and standard evaluation reports.
The number of franchised restaurants was
107
at
June 5, 2019
and
105
at
August 29, 2018
.
Licensee
In November 1997, a prior owner of the Fuddruckers – World’s Greatest Hamburgers
®
brand granted to a licensee the exclusive right to use the Fuddruckers proprietary marks, trade dress and system to develop Fuddruckers restaurants in a territory consisting of certain countries in Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia. As of
January 2019
, this licensee operated
33
restaurants that are licensed to use the Fuddruckers Proprietary Marks in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan, and Bahrain. The Company does not receive revenue or royalties from these restaurants.
Segment Table

Note 6. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into derivative instruments, from time to time, to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates on a percentage of its long-term variable rate debt. On
December 14, 2016
, the Company entered into an interest rate swap, pay fixed - receive floating, with a constant notional amount of
$17.5 million
. The fixed swap rate we paid was
1.965%
and the variable rate we received was one-month LIBOR. The term of the interest rate swap was
5 years
. The Company did not apply hedge accounting treatment to this derivative; therefore, changes in fair value of the instrument were recognized in Other income (expense), net. The changes in the interest rate swap fair value resulted in an expense of approximately
$0.1 million
during the
three quarters
ended
June 5, 2019
and a credit to expense of approximately
$0.7 million
in the
three quarters
ended
June 6, 2018
. The Company terminated its interest rate swap in the quarter ended December 19, 2018 and received approximately
$0.3 million
in cash proceeds.
The Company does not hold or use derivative instruments for trading purposes.
Note 7. Fair Value Measurements
GAAP establishes a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. Fair value measurements guidance applies whenever other authoritative accounting guidance requires or permits assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value.
GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include:
|
|
•
|
Level 1: Defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
|
|
|
•
|
Level 2: Defined as pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures.
|
|
|
•
|
Level 3: Defined as pricing inputs that are unobservable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
|
The fair values of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other receivables, net, and accounts payable approximate their carrying value due to their short duration. The carrying value of the Company's total credit facility debt, net of unamortized discounts and debt issue costs, at
June 5, 2019
and
August 29, 2018
was approximately
$42.0 million
and
$39.3 million
, respectively, which approximates fair value because the applicable interest rate is adjusted frequently based on short-term market rates (Level 2).

Note 8. Income Taxes
The effects of the U.S. tax reform legislation that is commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) on the Company's income tax accounts were reflected in the fiscal 2018 financial statements as determined based on available information, subject to interpretation in accordance with the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118"). SAB 118 provides guidance on accounting for the effects of the Tax Act where such determinations are incomplete; however, the Company has completed its determination of the effects of the Tax Act on its income tax accounts.
No
cash payments of estimated federal income taxes were made during the
three quarters ended
June 5, 2019
and
June 6, 2018
, respectively. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using currently enacted rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent future taxable income is expected to be sufficient to utilize those assets prior to their expiration. If current available evidence and information raises doubt regarding the realization of the deferred tax assets, on a more likely than not basis, a valuation allowance is necessary. In evaluating our ability to realize the Company's deferred tax assets, the Company considered available positive and negative evidence, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. As of
June 5, 2019
, management determined that for the
three quarters ended
June 5, 2019
a full valuation allowance on the Company's net deferred tax assets was necessary.
The effective tax rate ("ETR") for continuing operations was a negative
2.6%
for the quarter ended
June 5, 2019
and a negative
41.2%
for the quarter ended
June 6, 2018
. The ETR for the quarter ended
June 5, 2019
differs from the federal statutory rate of
21%
due to management's full valuation allowance conclusion, anticipated federal jobs credits, state income taxes, and other discrete items.
The ETR for continuing operations was a negative
6.0%
for the
three quarters ended
June 5, 2019
and a negative
31.8%
for the
three quarters ended
June 6, 2018
. The ETR for the
three quarters ended
June 5, 2019
differs from the federal statutory rate of
21%
due to full management's valuation allowance conclusion, anticipated federal jobs credits, state income taxes, and other discrete items.
Management believes that adequate provisions for income taxes have been reflected in the financial statements and is not aware of any significant exposure items that have not been reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Amounts considered probable of settlements within one year have been included in the accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

During the
quarter ended
March 13, 2019, the Company completed the sale of
two
properties with a total net sales price of approximately
$19.6 million
. The properties sold had been included in the previously announced asset sales program. The sales included lease back periods of
36
and
60
months and average annual lease payments of approximately
$450 thousand
and
$295 thousand
, respectively. The Company recorded a total net gain on the
two
sales of approximately
$15.3 million
of which
$12.9 million
was recognized in the quarter ended March 13, 2019 and the remainder will be recognized over the respective lease back periods. The deferred gain on the sale of the
two
properties is included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet at
June 5, 2019
. Net proceeds from the sales were used in accordance with the 2018 Credit Agreement, to reduce the balance on its outstanding 2018 Term Loan (as defined below) and for general business purposes.
Intangible assets, net, includes the Fuddruckers trade name and franchise agreements and are amortized. The Company believes the Fuddruckers brand name has an expected accounting life of
21
years from the date of acquisition based on the expected use of its assets and the restaurant environment in which it is being used. The trade name represents a respected brand with customer loyalty and the Company intends to cultivate and protect the use of the trade name. The franchise agreements, after considering renewal periods, have an estimated accounting life of
21
years from the date of acquisition,
July 2010
, and will be amortized over this period of time.
Intangible assets, net, also includes the license agreement and trade name related to Cheeseburger in Paradise and the value of the acquired licenses and permits allowing the sales of beverages with alcohol. These assets have an expected useful life of
15
years from the date of acquisition,
December 2012
.
The aggregate amortization expense related to intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately
$1.0 million
and
$1.1 million
for the
three quarters ended
June 5, 2019
and
June 6, 2018

$1.4 million
in each of the next five successive fiscal years.

(1) The amounts as of
August 29, 2018
reflect a reclassification of amounts from the Cheeseburger in Paradise trade name and license agreements to the Fuddruckers trade name and franchise agreements lines on the table, netting to approximately
$88 thousand
.
Goodwill, net of accumulated impairments of approximately
$1.9 million
, was approximately
$555 thousand
as of
June 5, 2019
and
August 29, 2018
, respectively, and relates to our Company-owned restaurants reportable segment. Goodwill has been allocated and impairment is assessed at the reporting level, which is the individual restaurants within our Fuddruckers and Cheeseburger in Paradise brands that were acquired in fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2013, respectively. The net Goodwill balance at
June 5, 2019
is comprised of amounts assigned to one Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant that is still operated by us, and the goodwill from the Fuddruckers acquisition in 2010. The Company performs a goodwill impairment test annually as of the end of the second fiscal quarter of each year and more frequently when negative conditions or a triggering event arises. Management prepares valuations for each of its restaurants using a discounted cash flow analysis (Level 3 inputs) to determine the fair value of each reporting unit for comparison with the reporting unit's carrying value in determining if there has been an impairment of goodwill at the reporting level.
The Company recorded
no
goodwill impairment charges during the
three quarters ended
June 5, 2019
and approximately
$0.6 million
during the
three quarters ended
June 6, 2018
.
Note 10. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Discontinued Operations, Property Held for Sale and Store Closings
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Store Closings
We periodically evaluate long-lived assets held for use and held for sale whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. We analyze historical cash flows of operating locations and compares results of poorer performing locations to more profitable locations. We also analyze lease terms, condition of the assets and related need for capital expenditures or repairs, as well as construction activity and the economic and market conditions in the surrounding area.
For assets held for use, we estimate future cash flows using assumptions based on possible outcomes of the areas analyzed. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the location’s assets, we record an impairment loss based on an estimate of discounted cash flows. The estimates of future cash flows, based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, require management’s subjective judgments. Assumptions and estimates used include operating results, changes in working capital, discount rate, growth rate, anticipated net proceeds from disposition of the property and, if applicable, lease terms. The span of time for which future cash flows are estimated is often lengthy, increasing the sensitivity to assumptions made. The time span could be
20
to
25
years for newer properties, but only
5
to
10
years for older properties. Depending on the assumptions and estimates used, the estimated future cash flows projected in the evaluation of long-lived assets can vary within a wide range of outcomes. We consider the likelihood of possible outcomes in determining the best estimate of future cash flows. The measurement for such an impairment loss is then based on the fair value of the asset as determined by discounted cash flows.
We recognized the following impairment charges to income from operations:

undeveloped property that was held for sale, partially offset by routine asset retirements.
The approximate
$0.2 million
net loss
for the
three quarters

Property Held for Sale
We periodically review long-lived assets against its plans to retain or ultimately dispose of properties. If we decide to dispose of a property, it will be moved to property held for sale, actively marketed and recorded at fair value less transaction costs. We analyze market conditions each reporting period and record additional impairments due to declines in market values of like assets. The fair value of the property is determined by observable inputs such as appraisals and prices of comparable properties in active markets for assets like ours. Gains are not recognized until the properties are sold.
Property held for sale includes unimproved land, closed restaurant properties, properties with operating restaurants the Board approved for sale, and related equipment for locations not classified as discontinued operations. The specific assets are valued at the lower of net depreciable value or net realizable value.
At
June 5, 2019
, we had
13
owned properties with a carrying value of approximately
$15.1 million
in property held for sale. During the
three quarters ended
June 5, 2019
,
two
properties were sold that were previously classified as held for sale. The pretax profit (loss) for the disposal group of locations operating for the
three quarters ended
June 5, 2019
and
June 6, 2018
was a pretax income of approximately
$13.1 million
and a pretax loss of
$0.9 million
, respectively. Included in the pretax income (loss) for the
three quarters ended
June 5, 2019
and
June 6, 2018
was net gains of
$13.1 million
and
$0.3 million
, respectively.
At
August 29, 2018
, we had
15
owned properties, of which
two
restaurants are located on
one
property, with a carrying value of approximately
$19.5 million
in property held for sale. The pretax loss for the disposal group of locations operating in fiscal
2018
was approximately
$1.2 million
.
We are actively marketing the locations currently classified as property held for sale.
Abandoned Leased Facilities - Reserve for Store Closings
As of
June 5, 2019
, we classified as abandoned
8
leased restaurants locationed in Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Texas and Virginia . Although we remain obligated under the terms of the leases for the rent and other costs that may be associated with the leases, we decided to cease operations and we have no foreseeable plans to occupy the spaces as a company restaurant in the future. During the
three quarters
ended
June 5, 2019
, we recorded a decrease to the liability for lease termination expense and a credit to earnings, in provision for asset impairments and restaurant closings of approximately
$0.5 million
. The liability is equal to the total amount of rent and other direct costs for the remaining period of time the properties will be unoccupied plus the present value, calculated using a credit-adjusted risk free rate, of the amount by which the rent we paid by to the landlord exceeds any rent paid to us by a tenant under a sublease over the remaining period of the lease terms. Accrued lease termination expense liability was approximately
$1.7 million
and
$2.1 million
as of
June 5, 2019
and
August 29, 2018
, respectively.
Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements, except for operating leases.
Pending Claims
From time to time, the Company is subject to various private lawsuits, administrative proceedings, and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. A number of these lawsuits, proceedings, and claims may exist at any given time. These matters typically involve claims from guests, employees, and others related to issues common to the restaurant industry. The Company currently believes that the final disposition of these types of lawsuits, proceedings, and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. It is possible, however, that the Company’s future results of operations for a particular fiscal quarter or fiscal year could be impacted by changes in circumstances relating to lawsuits, proceedings, or claims.
Cheeseburger in Paradise, Royalty Commitment

Note 12. Related Parties
Affiliate Services
Christopher J. Pappas, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Harris J. Pappas, former director and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, own
two
restaurant entities (the “Pappas entities”) that from time to time may provide services to the Company and its subsidiaries, as detailed in the Amended and Restated Master Sales Agreement dated August 2, 2017 among the Company and the Pappas entities. Collectively, Messrs. Pappas and the Pappas entities own greater than
5
percent of the Company's common stock.
Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Master Sales Agreement, the Pappas entities may provide specialized (customized) equipment fabrication and basic equipment maintenance, including stainless steel stoves, shelving, rolling carts, and chef tables. The Company incurred
$15 thousand
and
$31 thousand
under the Amended and Restated Master Sales Agreement for custom-fabricated and refurbished equipment in the
three quarters ended
June 5, 2019
and
June 6, 2018
, respectively, and incurred
$2 thousand
dollars in other operating costs in the
three quarters ended
June 6, 2018
. Services provided under this agreement are subject to review and approval by the Finance and Audit Committee of the Board.
Operating Leases
In the third quarter of fiscal 2004, Messrs. Pappas became partners in a limited partnership which purchased a retail strip center in Houston, Texas. Messrs. Pappas collectively own a
50%
limited partnership interest and a
50%
general partnership interest in the limited partnership. A third party company manages the center. One of the Company’s restaurants has rented approximately
7%
of the space in that center since July 1969. No changes were made to the Company’s lease terms as a result of the transfer of ownership of the center to the new partnership.
On November 22, 2006, the Company executed a new lease agreement with respect to this shopping center. Effective upon the Company’s relocation and occupancy into the new space in July 2008, the new lease agreement provides for a primary term of approximately
12
years with
two
subsequent
five
-year options and gives the landlord an option to buy out the tenant on or after the calendar year 2015 by paying the then unamortized cost of improvements to the tenant. The Company pays rent of
$22.00
per square foot plus maintenance, taxes, and insurance during the remaining primary term of the lease. Thereafter, the lease provides for increases in rent at set intervals. The new lease agreement was approved by the Finance and Audit Committee.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, on March 12, 2014, the Company executed a new lease agreement with Pappas Restaurants, Inc. for one of our Fuddruckers locations in Houston, Texas. The lease provides for a primary term of approximately
six
years with
two
subsequent
five
-year options. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the Company paid
$27.56
per square foot plus maintenance, taxes, and insurance from March 12, 2014 until November 30, 2016. Currently, the lease agreement provides for increases in rent at set intervals. The new lease agreement was approved by the Finance and Audit Committee.
For the
three quarters ended
June 5, 2019
and
June 6, 2018
, affiliated costs incurred as a percentage of relative total Company cost was
0.55%
and
0.47%
, respectively. Rent payments under the two lease agreements described above were
$454 thousand
and
$470 thousand
, respectively.
Key Management Personnel
The Company entered into a new employment agreement with Christopher Pappas on December 11, 2017. The new employment agreement contains a termination date of August 28, 2019. Mr. Pappas continues to devote his primary time and business efforts to the Company while maintaining his role at Pappas Restaurants, Inc.
Peter Tropoli, a former director and officer of the Company, is an attorney and stepson of Frank Markantonis, who is a director of the Company. Effective June 13, 2019, Mr. Tropoli resigned from the Company and is no longer our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.

2018 Credit Agreement
On
December 13, 2018
, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2018 Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and MSD PCOF Partners VI, LLC (“MSD”), as Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the lenders party thereto agreed to make loans to the Company from time to time up to an aggregate principal amount of
$80.0 million
, consisting of a
$10.0 million
revolving credit facility (the “2018 Revolver”), a
$10.0 million
delayed draw term loan (“2018 Delayed Draw Term Loan”), and a
$60.0 million
term loan (the “2018 Term Loan”, and together with the 2018 Revolver and the 2018 Delayed Draw Term Loan, the “2018 Credit Facility”). The 2018 Credit Facility terminates on, and all amounts owing thereunder must be repaid on,
December 13, 2023
.
Borrowings under the 2018 Revolver, 2018 Delayed Draw Term Loan, and 2018 Term Loan will bear interest at the London InterBank Offered Rate plus
7.75%
per annum. Interest is payable quarterly and accrues daily. Under the terms of the 2018 Credit Agreement, the maximum amount of interest payable, based on the aggregate principal amount of
$80.0 million
and interest rates in effect at December 13, 2018, in the next
12 months
was required to be pre-funded at the closing date of the 2018 Credit Agreement. The pre-funded amount of approximately
$6.9 million
is recorded in Restricted cash and cash equivalents on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.
The 2018 Credit Facility is subject to the following minimum amortization payments: 1st anniversary:
$10.0 million
; 2nd anniversary:
$10.0 million
; 3rd anniversary:
$15.0 million
; and 4th anniversary:
$15.0 million
.
The Company also pays a quarterly commitment fee based on the unused portion of the 2018 Revolver and the 2018 Delayed Draw Term Loan at
0.50%
per annum. Voluntary prepayments, refinancing and asset dispositions constituting a sale of all or substantially all assets, under the 2018 Delayed Draw Term Loan and the 2018 Term Loan are subject to a make whole premium during years one and two equal to the present value of all interest otherwise owed from the date of the pre-payment through the end of year two, a
2.0%
fee during year three, and a
1.0%
fee during year four. Finally, the Company paid to the lenders a one-time fee in connection with the closing of the 2018 Credit Facility.
Indebtedness under the 2018 Credit Facility is secured by a security interest in, among other things, all of the Company’s present and future personal property (other than certain excluded assets), all of the personal property of its guarantors (other than certain excluded assets) and all Mortgaged Property (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement) of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The 2018 Credit Facility contains customary covenants and restrictions on the Company’s ability to engage in certain activities, including financial performance covenants, asset sales and acquisitions, and contains customary events of default. Specifically, among other things, the Company is required to maintain minimum Liquidity (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement) of
$3.0 million
as of the last day of each fiscal quarter and a minimum Asset Coverage Ratio (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement) of
2.50
to 1.00. As of
June 5, 2019
, the Company was in full compliance with all covenants with respect to the 2018 Credit Facility.
All amounts owing by the Company under the 2018 Credit Facility are guaranteed by the subsidiaries of the Company.
As of
June 5, 2019
, we had no amounts due within the next 12 months under the 2018 Credit Facility due to principal repayments in excess of the required minimum as of June 5, 2019. As of June 5, 2019 we had approximately
$1.3 million
committed under
letters of credit, which is used as security for the payment of insurance obligations and are fully cash collateralized, and approximately
$0.1 million
in other indebtedness.
As of
July 15, 2019
, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the terms of the 2018 Credit Agreement.
2016 Credit Agreement
On
November 8, 2016
, the Company entered into a
$65.0 million
Senior Secured Credit Facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Cadence Bank, NA and Texas Capital Bank, NA, as lenders (“2016 Credit Agreement”). The 2016 Credit Agreement, prior to the amendments discussed below, was comprised of a
$30.0 million
5
-year Revolver (the “Revolver”) and a
$35.0 million
5
-year Term Loan (the “Term Loan”), and it also included sub-facilities for swingline loans and letters of credits. The original maturity date of the 2016 Credit Agreement was
November 8, 2021
.
Borrowings under the Revolver and Term Loan bore interest at 1) a base rate equal to the greater of (a) the federal funds effective rate plus one-half of 1% (the “Base Rate”), (b) prime and (c) LIBOR for an interest period of 1 month, plus, in any case, an applicable spread that ranges from
1.50%
to
2.50%
per annum the (“Applicable Margin”), or (2) the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), as adjusted for any Eurodollar reserve requirements, plus an applicable spread that ranges from
2.50%
to

Performance Based Incentive Plan
The 2018 TSR Performance Based Incentive Plan (the "2018 TSR Plan") provides for a specified number of shares of common stock under the Employee Stock Plan based on the total shareholder return ranking compared to a selection of peer companies over a
three
-year cycle. The grant date fair value of the 2018 TSR Plan was determined based on a Monte Carlo simulation model for the
three
-year period. The target number of shares for distribution at 100% of the award was
373,294
on the grant date. The 2018 TSR Plan is accounted for as an equity award since it provides for a specified number of shares. The expense for this plan year is amortized over the
three
-year period based on 100% target award.
Non-cash compensation expense related to the Company's TSR Performance Based Incentive Plans, recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, was approximately
$355 thousand
and
$69 thousand
in the
three quarters ended
June 5, 2019
and
June 6, 2018
, respectively, and approximately
$118 thousand
and

quarters ended

Restricted Stock Awards
Under the Nonemployee Director Stock Plan, directors are granted restricted stock in lieu of cash payments, for all or a portion of their compensation as directors. Directors may receive a
20%
premium of additional restricted stock by opting to receive stock over a minimum required amount of stock, in lieu of cash. The number of shares granted is valued at the average of the high and low price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant. Restricted stock awards vest when granted because they are granted in lieu of a cash payment. However, directors are restricted from selling their shares until after the third anniversary of the date of the grant.
Note 15. Earnings Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common 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 number of shares is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options determined using the treasury stock method. Stock options excluded from the computation of net income per share for the quarter and three quarters ended
June 5, 2019
include
1,464,010
shares with exercise prices exceeding market prices whose inclusion would also be anti-dilutive.

Note 16: Shareholder Rights Plan
On
February 15, 2018
, the Board of Directors adopted a shareholder rights plan with a
10%
triggering threshold and declared a dividend distribution of one right initially representing the right to purchase one half of a share of Luby’s common stock, upon specified terms and conditions. The rights plan was effective immediately.
The Board adopted the shareholder rights plan in view of the concentrated ownership of Luby’s common stock as a means to ensure that all of Luby’s stockholders are treated equally. The shareholder rights plan is designed to limit the ability of any person or group to gain control of Luby’s without paying all of Luby’s stockholders a premium for that control. The shareholder rights plan was not adopted in response to any specific takeover bid or other plan or proposal to acquire control of Luby’s.
If a person or group acquires
10%
or more of the outstanding shares of Luby’s common stock (including in the form of synthetic ownership through derivative positions), each right will entitle its holder (other than such person or members of such group) to purchase, for
$12
, a number of shares of Luby’s common stock having a then-current market value of twice such price. The rights plan exempts any person or group owning
10%
or more (
35.5%
or more in the case of Harris J. Pappas, Christopher J. Pappas and their respective affiliates and associates) of Luby’s common stock immediately prior to the adoption of the rights plan. However, the rights will be exercisable if any such person or group acquires any additional shares of Luby’s common stock (including through derivative positions) other than as a result of equity grants made by Luby’s to its directors, officers or employees in their capacities as such.
Prior to the acquisition by a person or group of beneficial ownership of
10%
or more of the outstanding shares of Luby’s common stock, the rights are redeemable for
1 cent
per right at the option of Luby’s Board of Directors.
The dividend distribution was made on
February 28, 2018
to stockholders of record on that date. Unless and until a triggering event occurs and the rights become exercisable, the rights will trade with shares of Luby’s common stock.
Luby’s financial condition, operations, and earnings per share was not affected by the adoption of the shareholder rights plan.
On February 11, 2019, the Board of Directors approved the first amendment to the shareholder rights plan extending the term of the shareholder rights plan to February 15, 2020.
