Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Assets Measured on Recurring Basis or Disclosed at Fair Value

The following table is a summary of our financial assets measured on a recurring basis or disclosed at fair value and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurement falls. The Company classifies its cash equivalents, short-term investments, long-term bank deposits and notes, and investment in equity securities within Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy because it uses quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs to determine their fair value, respectively. The Company classifies its investment in available-for-sale debt securities in Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because it is valued based on unobservable inputs. No transfers among the levels within the fair value hierarchy occurred during the quarters and years to date ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Closure and impairment expenses, net

 

(a)
Restaurant-level impairment charges are recorded in Closures and impairment expenses, net and resulted mainly from our semi-annual impairment evaluation of long-lived assets of individual restaurants that were being operated at the time of impairment and had not been offered for refranchising. After considering the impairment charges recorded during the corresponding periods, the fair value of such assets as of June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $19 million and $23 million, respectively.
