Impairment and Restaurant Closures
During the forty weeks ended October 4, 2015, the Company closed one restaurant at the end of its lease term. The Company closed two restaurants that operated below acceptable profitability levels during the forty weeks ended October 5, 2014. Both restaurants closed during the forty weeks ended October 5, 2014 had been impaired in fiscal year 2013. No impairments were recorded during the forty weeks ended October 4, 2015 or October 5, 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 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 forty weeks ended October 4, 2015 or October 5, 2014, because those restaurants did not have positive cash flow or fair value.
