Segment Information

2. Segment Information

 

The Company has three reportable segments: (i) U.S. stores; (ii) supply chain; and (iii) international franchise.

 

The Company’s operations are organized by management on the combined basis of line of business and geography. The U.S. stores segment includes operations with respect to all franchised and Company-owned stores in the U.S. The supply chain segment primarily includes the distribution of food and, to a lesser extent, other products, from the Company’s supply chain operations in the U.S. and Canada. The international franchise segment includes operations related to the Company’s franchising business in foreign markets. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer. Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, the measure used by the chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources changed to Segment Adjusted Income from Operations, which represents income from operations for the reportable segments, excluding gains and losses from the sale of assets, refranchising gains and losses and certain corporate administrative costs that have not been allocated to a reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker uses Segment Adjusted Income from Operations to determine future business objectives and targets and for long-range planning for the reportable segments, as well as to evaluate their operating performance.

 

The tables below summarize the financial information, including revenues, significant segment expenses, Segment Adjusted Income from Operations, capital expenditures and depreciation and amortization, concerning the Company’s reportable segments for the third quarters and three fiscal quarters ended September 6, 2026 and September 7, 2025. Intersegment revenues are comprised of sales of food and, to a lesser extent, other products, from the supply chain segment to the Company-owned stores in the U.S. stores segment. Intersegment sales prices are market based.

Significant segment expenses and the measure of segment profit in the tables below for the third quarter and three fiscal quarters ended September 7, 2025 have been recast to reflect the change in the measure of segment profit used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker. Segment Adjusted Income from Operations represents income from operations for the reportable segments, excluding gains and losses from the sale of assets, refranchising gains and losses and certain corporate administrative costs that have not been allocated to a reportable segment.

Represents corporate administrative costs that have not been allocated to a reportable segment including labor (including non-cash equity-based compensation expense), depreciation and amortization, computer expenses, professional fees, travel and entertainment, rent, insurance and other corporate administrative costs.

 

The Company’s chief operating decision maker is not regularly provided financial information related to the assets of the reportable segments, and he does not evaluate their performance or allocate resources to them based on assets. Therefore, total assets by reportable segment are not included in the Company’s segment disclosures.
