During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we acquired 23 Chili's restaurants located in the Mid-Atlantic region

of the United States owned by a franchisee. The acquisition of these restaurants is not reflected in the First

Quarter Openings or Full Year Projected Openings totals as these are existing restaurant locations

transitioning ownership. These acquired restaurants are included in Total Restaurants Open at September 29,

2021 within the total for Company-owned restaurants Chili's domestic.

Comparable Restaurant Sales include all restaurants that have been in operation for more than 18 months

except acquired restaurants which are included after 12 months of ownership. Restaurants temporarily closed

14 days or more are excluded from Comparable Restaurant Sales. Percentage amounts are calculated based

on the comparable periods year-over-year.

⁽²⁾      

Mix-Shift is calculated as the year-over-year percentage change in Company sales resulting from the change

in menu items ordered by guests. 

⁽³⁾       

Chili's franchise sales generated by franchisees are not included in Total revenues in the Consolidated

Statements of Comprehensive Income (Unaudited); however, we generate royalty revenues and advertising

fees based on franchisee revenues, where applicable. We believe presenting Chili's franchise comparable

restaurant sales provides investors relevant information regarding total brand performance.

⁽⁴⁾        

Chili's domestic Comparable Restaurant Sales percentages are derived from sales generated by Company-

owned and franchise-operated Chili's restaurants in the United States.

⁽⁵⁾       

System-wide Comparable Restaurant Sales are derived from sales generated by Company-owned Chili's and

Maggiano's restaurants and sales generated at franchise-operated Chili's restaurants.

unrecognized tax benefits and excess tax windfalls associated with stock-based compensation. Adjustment

for special tax items in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily related to excess tax windfalls associated with

stock-based compensation.
