Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries (“Red Robin” or the “Company”), primarily operates, franchises, and develops full-service restaurants in North America. As of April 19, 2020, the Company owned and operated 452 restaurants located in 38 states. The Company also had 102 franchised full-service restaurants in 16 states and one Canadian province as of April 19, 2020. The Company operates its business as one operating and one reportable segment.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Red Robin and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Red Robin have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2019 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required for audited annual financial statements. For further information, please refer to and read these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2020.
Our current and prior year periods, period end dates, and number of weeks included in the period are summarized in the table below:
Periods Period End Date Number of Weeks in Period
Current and Prior Fiscal Quarters:
First Quarter 2020 April 19, 2020 16

Current and Prior Fiscal Years:

Reclassifications
Certain amounts presented in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. For the sixteen weeks ended April 21, 2019, the Company reclassified the following within net cash (used in) provided by operating activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows: $3.7 million from Other, net to Lease assets, net of liabilities presented in the changes to operating assets and liabilities, $0.8 million from Other, net to Deferred income tax provision (benefit) presented in the adjustments to reconcile net (loss) income to net cash (used in) provided by operating activities, and $0.7 million from Prepaid expense and other current assets to Inventories presented in the changes to operating assets and liabilities.
Going Concern
Under ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financials Statements – Going Concern, the Company is required to assess whether substantial doubt is raised in that conditions or events indicate that it is probable the Company will be unable to meet its obligations when they come due within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The assessment also includes the Company's consideration of any management plans to alleviate such substantial doubt. The conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic have had a material adverse impact on the Company's revenues, profitability, and cash flows.
Pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement and Waiver (the "Amendment") to the Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Facility"), further described in Note 2, COVID-19 Pandemic, the lenders thereto agreed, among other things, to waive the existing events of default under the Credit Facility related to the Company's failure to comply with the financial covenants as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended April 19, 2020. In addition, the lenders agreed to (a) suspend the application of the lease adjusted leverage ratio financial covenant (the "Leverage Ratio Covenant") and the fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant (the "FCCR Covenant"), in each case, for the fiscal quarters ending on July 12, 2020, October 4, 2020 and December 27, 2020 and (b) increase the maximum leverage permitted for purposes of the Leverage Ratio Covenant for each of the first three fiscal quarters ending in 2021; provided that the Company issues new equity (or convertible debt) generating net cash proceeds of at least $25 million.
The Company is actively evaluating options for raising equity capital in order to satisfy the requirements of the Amendment. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient equity capital within the timeframe prescribed by the Amendment, and is unable to obtain a further waiver or amendment to the Credit Facility, then the Company could experience an event of default under the Credit Facility, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations. We cannot make any assurance regarding the likelihood, certainty, or exact timing of the Company's ability to raise capital or execute further amendments to the Credit Facility. As a result, under applicable accounting standards, the Company concluded, because the equity raise is outside of management's control, substantial doubt exists surrounding the Company's ability to meet its obligations within one year of the financial statement issuance date and to continue as a going concern.
The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Income Taxes
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Update 2019-12, Income Taxes ("Topic 740") as part of its Simplification Initiative. This guidance provides amendments to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the full impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
We reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Current and Expected Credit Losses
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“Topic 326”), subsequently amended by various standard updates. This guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information when determining credit loss estimates and requires financial assets to be measured net of expected credit losses at the time of initial recognition. The Company performed an analysis to determine the impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and recognized an immaterial adjustment to Accounts Receivable, Net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets upon adoption during the first quarter of 2020. We performed an update to our analysis in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and recognized an additional immaterial adjustment related to our franchise receivables.
