Impairment and Restaurant Closures
The Company closed one restaurant at the end of its lease term during the first quarter 2015. The Company closed two restaurants that operated below acceptable profitability levels during the first quarter 2014. Both restaurants closed in first quarter 2014 had been impaired in fiscal year 2013. No impairments were recorded during the first quarter 2015 and the first quarter 2014.
The Company evaluates restaurants that are closed and allocates goodwill based on the relative fair value of the disposed restaurants to the Company’s reporting unit. Since restaurant operations are typically valued based on cash flow from operations, the Company compares the historical cash flow from the closed restaurants to the cash flow from the reporting unit to determine the relative value. No goodwill was allocated to the restaurants closed during the first quarter 2015 and the first quarter 2014, because those restaurants had projected zero or negative cash flow and consequently did not have positive fair value.
