THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiaries (referred to herein collectively as the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions for the periods presented have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited financial statements presented herein include all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the period. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2020 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2021 (“fiscal 2020 10-K”).
We utilize a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Tuesday closest to December 31 for financial reporting purposes. Fiscal 2021 consists of
Beginning with our fiscal 2020 10-K, we combined accounts receivable and other receivable on the consolidated balance sheet and statement of cash flow. Corresponding balances for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2020 were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
COVID-19 Pandemic
We are subject to continued risks and uncertainties as a result of the outbreak of, and local, state and federal governmental responses to, the COVID-19 pandemic which was declared a National Public Health Emergency in March 2020. We experienced significant disruptions to our business as suggested and mandated social distancing and shelter-in-place orders led to the temporary closure of a number of restaurants across our portfolio while the remaining locations shifted to an off-premise only operating model on an interim basis. In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, certain jurisdictions began allowing the reopening of restaurant dining rooms, and we began to reopen dining rooms across our concepts. While restrictions on the type of permitted operating model and occupancy capacity continue to change, as of June 29, 2021, nearly all of our restaurants were operating with no indoor dining restrictions. We cannot predict how long the COVID-19 pandemic will last, whether vaccines will be effective at eliminating or slowing the spread of the virus or variants, whether it will reoccur or whether variants will spike, what additional restrictions may be enacted, to what extent we can maintain sales volumes during or following the resumption of mandated social distancing protocols or masks mandates and what long-lasting effects the COVID-19 pandemic may have on the restaurant industry as a whole. The extent of the reopening process, the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumer spending behavior, and our ability to continue to adequately staff our restaurants, will determine the continued significance of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to our operating results and financial position.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which is intended to simplify the accounting and measurement of convertible instruments and the settlement assessment for contracts in an entity’s own equity. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 utilizing the modified retrospective method and, accordingly, recorded a $
As further discussed in Note 5, we issued certain convertible senior notes due 2026 (“Notes”) during the second quarter of fiscal 2021, and the accounting for these instruments was based on the guidance in ASU 2020-06. Additionally, the impact on diluted earnings per share of the Notes was calculated based on the if-converted method, as further described in Note 11.
2. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are estimated based on valuation techniques and inputs categorized as follows:
● | Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
● | Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities |
● | Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions |
The following tables present the components and classification of our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

The significant increases in activations, redemptions and breakage during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the same period of fiscal 2020 stem primarily from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
5. Long-Term Debt
Revolving Credit Facility
On March 30, 2021, we entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to our existing Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated July 30, 2019 (as amended by that certain First Amendment, dated as of May 1, 2020 and by the Second Amendment, collectively, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement, which terminates on July 30, 2024, consists of a $
The Second Amendment, among other things, (i) extended the prior covenant relief period during which the testing of the net adjusted debt to EBITDAR ratio covenant (the “Net Adjusted Leverage Ratio”) and the EBITDAR to interest and rent expense ratio covenant (the “EBITDAR Ratio”) is suspended until the quarter ending December 28, 2021 (the “Covenant Relief Period”), (ii) continued to impose a monthly liquidity covenant of $
10
Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement during the Covenant Relief Period bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either: (i) the adjusted LIBO Rate (as customarily defined, the “Adjusted LIBO Rate”) plus
Subsequent to the Covenant Relief Period, borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement will bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either: (i) the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a margin that is based on our net adjusted leverage ratio, or (ii) the sum of (a) the highest of (1) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the prime rate in effect in the United States, (2) the greater of the rate calculated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as the effective
Letters of credit bear fees that are equivalent to the interest rate margin that is applicable to revolving loans that bear interest at the adjusted LIBO Rate plus other customary fees charged by the issuing bank. We paid certain customary loan origination fees in conjunction with the Amended Credit Agreement. At June 29, 2021 we had net availability for borrowings of $
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limits on cash dividends and share repurchases with respect to our equity interests, and restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, sales of assets, fundamental changes and other matters. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgements, cross defaults to material indebtedness and events constituting a change of control. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the termination of commitments under the Revolving Facility, the declaration that all outstanding loans are immediately due and payable in whole or in part and the requirement of cash collateral deposits in respect of outstanding letters of credit.
Convertible Senior Notes
On June 15, 2021, we issued $
The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations and are (i) equal in right of payment with our existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent we are not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of our subsidiaries. The Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture (the “Base Indenture”) between us and a trustee (“Trustee”), dated as of June 15, 2021, as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture,” and the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), dated as of June 15, 2021, between the Company and the Trustee.

We classified this interest rate swap within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy described in Note 2. Our counterparty under this arrangement provided monthly statements of the market values of this instrument based on significant inputs that were observable or could be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. The impact on the derivative liability for our and the counterparty’s non-performance risk to the derivative trade was considered when measuring the fair value of derivative liability.

Within the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to private lawsuits, government audits and investigations, administrative proceedings and other claims. These matters typically involve claims from customers, staff members and others related to operational and employment issues common to the foodservice industry. A number of these claims may exist at any given time, and some of the claims may be pled as class actions. From time to time, we are also involved in lawsuits with respect to infringements of, or challenges to, our registered trademarks and other intellectual property, both domestically and abroad. We could be affected by adverse publicity and litigation costs resulting from such allegations, regardless of whether they are valid or whether we are legally determined to be liable.
At this time, we believe that the amount of reasonably possible losses resulting from final disposition of any pending lawsuits, audits, investigations, proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect individually or in the aggregate on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. It is possible, however, that our future results of operations for a particular quarter or fiscal year could be impacted by changes in circumstances relating to lawsuits, audits, proceedings or claims. Legal costs related to such claims are expensed as incurred.

Our share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date, does not require us to purchase a specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time. Shares may be repurchased in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at times and prices considered appropriate by us. Future decisions to repurchase shares are at the discretion of the Board and are based on several factors, including current and forecasted operating cash flows, capital needs associated with new restaurant development and maintenance of existing locations, dividend payments, debt levels and cost of borrowing, obligations associated with the Acquisition, our share price and current market conditions. The timing and number of shares repurchased are also subject to legal constraints and financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement that limit share repurchases based on a defined ratio. (See Note 5 for further discussion of our long-term debt.)

11. Net Income/(Loss) Per Share
Basic net income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, reduced by unvested restricted stock awards. At June 29, 2021 and June 30, 2020,
Diluted net income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents for the Notes are determined by application of the if-converted method, and common stock equivalents for outstanding stock options and restricted stock are determined by the application of the treasury stock method.

In connection with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Acts, we have identified and are disclosing important factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements made by us, or on our behalf. (See Part II, Item 1A of this report, “Risk Factors,” and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2020.) These cautionary statements are to be used as a reference in connection with any forward-looking statements. The factors, risks and uncertainties identified in these cautionary statements are in addition to those contained in any other cautionary statements, written or oral, which may be made or otherwise addressed in connection with a forward-looking statement or contained in any of our subsequent filings with the SEC. Because of these factors, risks and uncertainties, we caution against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements are currently reasonable, any of the assumptions could be incorrect or incomplete, and there can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required to do so by law.
The below discussion and analysis, which contains forward-looking statements, should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1 of this report and with the following items included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2020: the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part IV, Item 15; the "Risk Factors" included in Part I, Item 1A; the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in Part II, Item 7; and the cautionary statements included throughout this Form 10-Q. The inclusion of supplementary analytical and related information herein may require us to make estimates and assumptions to enable us to fairly present, in all material respects, our analysis of trends and expectations with respect to our results of operations and financial position.
COVID-19 Pandemic
We are subject to continued risks and uncertainties as a result of the outbreak of, and local, state and federal governmental responses to, the COVID-19 pandemic which was declared a National Public Health Emergency in March 2020. We experienced significant disruptions to our business as suggested and mandated social distancing and shelter-in-place orders led to the temporary closure of a number of restaurants across our portfolio while the remaining locations shifted to an off-premise only operating model on an interim basis. In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, certain jurisdictions began allowing the reopening of restaurant dining rooms, and we began to reopen dining rooms across our concepts. While restrictions on the type of permitted operating model and occupancy capacity continue to change, nearly all of our restaurants were operating with no indoor dining restrictions.
We cannot predict how long the COVID-19 pandemic will last, whether vaccines will be effective at eliminating or slowing the spread of the virus or variants, whether it will reoccur or whether variants will spike, what additional restrictions may be enacted, to what extent we can maintain sales volumes during or following the resumption of mandated social distancing protocols or mask mandates and what long-lasting effects the COVID-19 pandemic may have on the restaurant industry as a whole. The extent of the reopening process, the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumer spending behavior, and our ability to continue to adequately staff out restaurants will determine the significance of the impact to our operating results and financial position.
General
The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated is a leader in experiential dining. We are culinary forward and relentlessly focused on hospitality. We currently own and operate 301 restaurants throughout the United States and Canada under brands including The Cheesecake Factory®, North Italia® and a collection within our FRC business. Internationally, 28 The Cheesecake Factory® restaurants operate under licensing agreements. Our bakery division operates two facilities that produce quality cheesecakes and other baked products for our restaurants, international licensees and third-party bakery customers.
Overview
Our strategy is driven by our commitment to customer satisfaction and is focused primarily on menu innovation, service and operational execution to continue to differentiate ourselves from other restaurant concepts, as well as to drive competitively strong performance that is sustainable. Financially, we are focused on prudently managing expenses at our restaurants, bakery facilities and corporate support center, and leveraging our size to make the best use of our purchasing power.
22
Investing in new Company-owned restaurant development is our top long-term capital allocation priority, with a focus on opening our concepts in premier locations within both new and existing markets. We expect our acquisition of North Italia and FRC to further accelerate and diversify our growth opportunities. For The Cheesecake Factory concept, we target an average cash-on-cash return on investment of approximately 20% to 25% at the unit level. We target an average cash-on-cash return on investment of approximately 35% for the North Italia concept and 25% to 30% for the FRC concepts. Returns are affected by the cost to build restaurants, the level of revenues that each restaurant can deliver and our ability to maximize the profitability of restaurants. Investing in new restaurant development that meets our return on investment criteria is expected to support achieving mid-teens Company-level return on invested capital.
Our overall revenue growth is primarily driven by revenues from new restaurant openings and increases in comparable restaurant sales. Changes in comparable restaurant sales come from variations in customer traffic as well as in average check.
For The Cheesecake Factory concept, our strategy is to increase comparable restaurant sales by growing average check and stabilizing customer traffic through (1) continuing to offer innovative, high quality menu items that offer customers a wide range of options in terms of flavor, price and value, (2) focusing on service and hospitality with the goal of delivering an exceptional customer experience and (3) continuing to provide our customers with convenient options for off-premise dining, as we believe there is opportunity for a longer-term increase in our off-premise mix as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continuing our efforts on a number of initiatives, including a greater focus on increasing customer throughput in our restaurants, leveraging our gift card program, working with a third party to provide delivery services for our restaurants, increasing customer awareness of our online ordering capabilities, augmenting our marketing programs, enhancing our training programs and leveraging our customer satisfaction measurement platform.
Average check is driven by menu price increases and/or changes in menu mix. We generally update The Cheesecake Factory restaurant menus twice a year, and our philosophy is to use price increases to help offset key operating cost increases in a manner that balances protecting both our margins and customer traffic levels. We have targeted menu price increases of approximately 2% to 3% annually, utilizing a market-based strategy to help mitigate cost pressure in higher-wage geographies. Currently, our menu pricing is at the higher end of this range.
Margins are subject to fluctuations in commodity costs, labor, restaurant-level occupancy expenses, general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses and preopening expenses. Our objective is to recapture our pre-COVID-19 pandemic margins when we recapture our pre-COVID-19 annual sales levels, and longer-term to drive margin expansion, by leveraging incremental sales to increase restaurant-level margins at The Cheesecake Factory concept, leveraging our bakery operations, international and consumer packaged goods royalty revenue streams and G&A expense over time, and optimizing our restaurant portfolio.
We plan to employ a balanced capital allocation strategy, comprised of: investing in new restaurants that are expected to meet our targeted returns, repaying borrowings under our Revolving Facility (as defined below) and reinstating our dividend and share repurchase program, the latter of which offsets dilution from our equity compensation program and supports our earnings per share growth. At present, our dividends on our common stock and share repurchases are suspended. Our ability to declare common dividends and repurchase shares in the future will be subject to financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below), among other factors.
Longer-term, we believe our domestic revenue growth (comprised of our targeted annual unit growth of 7%, in aggregate across concepts, and comparable sales growth), combined with margin expansion, planned debt repayment and an anticipated capital return program will support our long-term financial objective of 13% to 14% total return to shareholders, on average. We define our total return as earnings per share growth plus our dividend yield.

Thirteen Weeks Ended June 29, 2021 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended June 30, 2020
Revenues
Revenues increased 159.9% to $769.0 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2021 compared to $295.9 million for the comparable prior year period, primarily due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on prior year sales.
24
The Cheesecake Factory comparable sales increased by 150.0%, or $356.2 million, from the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and increased 7.8% from the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase from fiscal 2020 was primarily driven by increased customer traffic of 202.7% primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior year, partially offset by a decline in average check of 52.7% (based on a 55.7% negative change in mix partially offset by an increase of 3.0% in menu pricing). We implemented effective menu price increases of approximately 1.5% in both the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and third quarter of fiscal 2020. Sales through the off-premise channel comprised approximately 31% of our restaurant sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to 79% in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 as many customers have returned to on-premise dining, whereas consumer behavior had shifted towards the off-premise channel during the prior year period due to the pandemic. However, off-premise sales mix of 31% remains elevated versus the pre-pandemic level of 16% during the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The Cheesecake Factory average sales per restaurant operating week increased 146.9% to $225,452 in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 from $91,314 in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Total operating weeks at The Cheesecake Factory restaurants increased 1.9% to 2,691 in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 2,640 in the prior year. North Italia comparable sales increased approximately 182% from the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and increased approximately 10% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019. North Italia average sales per restaurant operating week increased 152.0% to $132,824 in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 from $52,718 in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Total operating weeks at North Italia increased 25.7% to 328 in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 261 in the prior year.
Restaurants become eligible to enter the comparable sales base in their 19th month of operation. At June 29, 2021, there were two The Cheesecake Factory restaurants and four North Italia restaurants not yet in the comparable sales base. International licensed locations and restaurants that are no longer in operation, including those which we have relocated, are excluded from comparable sales calculations.
External bakery sales were $15.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $14.7 million in the comparable prior year period.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists of food, beverage and bakery production supply costs incurred in conjunction with our restaurant and bakery revenues, and excludes depreciation, which is captured separately in depreciation and amortization expenses. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales was 22.0% and 24.4% in the second quarters of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively, reflecting a shift in sales mix within the restaurants, a lower proportion of third-party bakery revenues and pricing leverage.
Labor Expenses
As a percentage of revenues, labor expenses, which include restaurant-level labor costs and bakery direct production labor, including associated fringe benefits, were 35.7% and 41.5% in the second quarters of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to deleverage in the prior year when costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including maintaining our full restaurant management team and healthcare benefits for our furloughed staff members, were incurred in the reduced sales environment.
Other Operating Costs and Expenses
Other operating costs and expenses consist of restaurant-level occupancy expenses (rent, common area expenses, insurance, licenses, taxes and utilities), marketing, including delivery commissions, other operating expenses (excluding food costs and labor expenses, which are reported separately) and bakery production overhead and distribution expenses. As a percentage of revenues, other operating costs and expenses were 25.9% and 41.1% in the second quarters of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. This variance was primarily driven by sales leverage, partially offset by increased restaurant-level incentive compensation expense.
G&A Expenses
G&A expenses consist of the restaurant management recruiting and training program, restaurant field supervision, corporate support and bakery administrative organizations, as well as gift card commissions to third-party distributors. As a percentage of revenues, G&A expenses were 6.3% and 12.1% in the second quarters of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. This variance was primarily driven by sales leverage, partially offset by higher corporate incentive compensation expense.
25
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization expenses decreased to 2.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 from 7.6% in the comparable prior year period due primarily to sales leverage.
Impairment of Assets and Lease Terminations
During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we recorded no impairment of assets and lease terminations expense. In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we recorded impairment of assets and lease terminations expense of $2.4 million related to lease termination costs for one The Cheesecake Factory restaurant which closed in July 2020.
Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration, Compensation and Amortization Expenses/(Benefit)
In the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we recorded $11.4 million of acquisition-related contingent consideration, compensation and amortization, primarily related to the impact of an amendment to the Acquisition agreement that, among other things, extended the measurement period through fiscal 2026. In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we recorded a benefit of $0.9 million of acquisition-related contingent consideration, compensation and amortization, reflecting changes in the fair value of the deferred and contingent consideration and compensation liabilities, partially offset by amortization of acquired definite-lived licensing agreements.
Preopening Costs
Preopening costs were $2.8 million and $2.1 million in the second quarters of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. We opened two North Italia and one Other location in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared no restaurants in the comparable prior year period. Preopening costs include all costs to relocate and compensate restaurant management staff members during the preopening period, costs to recruit and train hourly restaurant staff members, and wages, travel and lodging costs for our opening training team and other support staff members. Also included are expenses for maintaining a roster of trained managers for pending openings, the associated temporary housing and other costs necessary to relocate managers in alignment with future restaurant opening and operating needs, and corporate travel and support activities. Preopening costs can fluctuate significantly from period to period based on the number and timing of restaurant openings and the specific preopening costs incurred for each restaurant.
Interest and Other Expense, Net
Interest and other expense, net was $4.7 million and $2.6 million for the second quarters of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. This increase was primarily due to the termination of our interest rate swap.
Income Tax Provision/(Benefit)
Our effective income tax rate was 7.4% and 34.5% for the second quarters of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease resulted primarily from a higher proportion of employment credits in relation to pre-tax income/(loss) in the first half of fiscal 2021 and a benefit in the prior year arising from the expected carryback of our anticipated fiscal 2020 loss to prior years when the federal statutory rate was 35%.
Twenty-Six Weeks Ended June 29, 2021 Compared to Twenty-Six Weeks Ended June 30, 2020
Revenues
Revenues increased 53.3% to $1,396.4 million for the first half of fiscal 2021 compared to $911.0 million for the comparable prior year period, primarily due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on prior year sales.
26
The Cheesecake Factory comparable sales increased by 52.0%, or $369.3 million, from the first half of fiscal 2020 and decreased 1.2% from the first half of fiscal 2019. The increase from fiscal 2020 was primarily driven by increased customer traffic of 40.3% primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior year period and average check growth of 11.7% (based on an increase of 3.0% in menu pricing and an 8.7% positive change in mix). Sales through the off-premise channel comprised approximately 36% of our restaurant sales during the first half of fiscal 2021 as compared to 41% in the first half of fiscal 2020. However, off-premise sales mix of 36% remains elevated versus the pre-pandemic level of 16% during the first half of fiscal 2019. The Cheesecake Factory average sales per restaurant operating week increased 50.1% to $206,012 in the first half of fiscal 2021 from $137,286 in the first half of fiscal 2020. Total operating weeks at The Cheesecake Factory restaurants increased 1.0% to 5,369 in the first half of fiscal 2021 compared to 5,314 in the prior year period.
North Italia comparable sales increased approximately 63% from the first half of fiscal 2020 and increased approximately 3% compared to the first half of fiscal 2019. North Italia average sales per restaurant operating week increased 50.7% to $121,061 in the first half of fiscal 2021 from $80,348 in the first half of fiscal 2020. Total operating weeks at North Italia increased 14.5% to 631 in the first half of fiscal 2021 compared to 551 in the prior year period.
External bakery sales were $32.1 million for the first half of fiscal 2021 compared to $28.5 million in the comparable prior year period.
Cost of Sales
As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales was 21.8% and 23.4% in the first half of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively, reflecting a shift in sales mix within the restaurants, a lower proportion of third-party bakery revenues and pricing leverage.
Labor Expenses
As a percentage of revenues, labor expenses were 36.1% and 39.5% in the first half of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to deleverage in the prior year when costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including maintaining our full restaurant management team and healthcare benefits for our furloughed staff members, were incurred in the reduced sales environment.
Other Operating Costs and Expenses
As a percentage of revenues, other operating costs and expenses were 27.3% and 31.8% in the first half of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. This variance was primarily driven by sales leverage, partially offset by increased restaurant-level incentive compensation expense.
G&A Expenses
As a percentage of revenues, G&A expenses were 6.6% and 8.7% in the first half of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. This variance was primarily driven by sales leverage, partially offset by higher corporate incentive compensation expense.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization expenses decreased to 3.2% in the first half of fiscal 2021 from 5.1% in the comparable prior year period due primarily to sales leverage.
Impairment of Assets and Lease Terminations
During the first half of fiscal 2021, we recorded impairment of assets and lease terminations expense of $0.6 million related to lease termination costs for two Other restaurants, one of which closed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and one that closed at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2021. During the first half of fiscal 2020, we recorded $194.3 million of impairment of assets and lease termination expense related to the impairment of goodwill, trade names, trademarks and licensing agreements associated with the Acquisition and long-lived assets for one The Cheesecake Factory, one North Italia, two Other FRC and four Other restaurants, as well as lease terminations costs for one The Cheesecake Factory restaurant which closed in July 2020.
27
Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration, Compensation and Amortization Expenses/(Benefit)
In the first half of fiscal 2021, we recorded $11.9 million of acquisition-related contingent consideration, compensation and amortization, primarily related to the impact of an amendment to the Acquisition agreement that, among other things, extended the measurement period through fiscal 2026. In the first half of fiscal 2020, we recorded a benefit of $5.4 million in acquisition-related contingent consideration, compensation and amortization, primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration and compensation liabilities related to impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Preopening Costs
Preopening costs were $6.6 million and $5.2 million in the first half of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. We opened one The Cheesecake Factory, three North Italia, one Other FRC and one Other location in the first half of fiscal 2021 compared to one North Italia and one Other location in the comparable prior year period.
Interest and Other Expense, Net
Interest and other expense, net was $7.4 million and $4.1 million for the first half of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. This increase was primarily due to the termination of the interest rate swap.
Income Tax Provision/(Benefit)
Our effective income tax rate was 11.7% and 30.6% for the first half of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease resulted primarily from a higher proportion of employment credits in relation to pre-tax income/(loss) in the first half of fiscal 2021 and a benefit in the prior year arising from the expected carryback of our anticipated fiscal 2020 loss to prior years when the federal statutory rate was 35%, partially offset by a reserve for an uncertain tax position recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 related to tenant improvement allowances.
Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We calculate these non-GAAP measures by eliminating from net income/(loss) and diluted net income/(loss) per common share the impact of items we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operations. To reflect the potential impact of the conversion of our Series A preferred stock into common stock for the period that it was outstanding prior to the conversion on June 15,2021, we exclude the preferred dividend and assume all convertible preferred shares have been converted into common stock. (See Note 9 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion of our preferred stock.) We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items. In the future, we may incur expenses or generate income similar to the adjusted items.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2021 Update
Third quarter-to-date through July 26, 2021, The Cheesecake Factory restaurant comparable sales increased approximately 61% and 10% compared to the comparable period in fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively. Third quarter-to-date through July 26, 2021, North Italia comparable sales increased approximately 64% and 10% compared to the comparable period in fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively.
29
Fiscal 2021 Outlook
We currently estimate cost of sales inflation of approximately 3% in the second half of fiscal 2021 and continue to expect government-mandated minimum wage impacts to be more favorable than in recent years. However, there is some uncertainty to overall hourly wage rate inflation given the more competitive current industry labor environment. In addition, we estimate G&A of approximately $47 million per quarter for the remainder of fiscal 2021.
We plan to open as many as 14 new restaurants in fiscal 2021, including two The Cheesecake Factory restaurants, six North Italia restaurants and six restaurants within our FRC business, which includes two Flower Child locations, and anticipate approximately $16 million in preopening costs to support this new unit development. Internationally, we now expect as many as two The Cheesecake Factory restaurants to open under licensing agreements. We currently estimate fiscal 2021 cash capital expenditures to be approximately $95 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the first half of fiscal 2021, our cash and cash equivalents increased by $7.7 million to $161.8 million. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, a summary of our key cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities (in millions):
Twenty-Six | Twenty-Six | |||||

Cash Provided by/(Used in) Operating Activities
Cash flows from operations increased by $166.1 million from the first half of fiscal 2020 primarily due to a lesser impact from the COVID-19 pandemic during the first half of fiscal 2021. Our future cash flow performance will depend on the evolving COVID-19 pandemic regulatory landscape, as well as economic conditions and consumer behavior.
Property and Equipment
Capital expenditures were $30.9 million and $29.4 million in the first half of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. We opened five restaurants in fiscal 2021 comprised of one The Cheesecake Factory, three North Italia, one Other FRC and one Other location, of which a significant amount of the development was completed in fiscal 2020, compared to one North Italia and one Flower Child restaurant during the comparable prior year period. We currently estimate fiscal 2021 cash capital expenditures to be approximately $95 million.
Convertible Senior Notes
On June 15, 2021, we issued $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 0.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The initial conversion rate for the Notes is 12.7551 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $78.40 per share of common stock. The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were approximately $334.9 million after deducting issuance costs related to the Notes. (See Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion of the Notes.)
30
Common Stock Issuance
On June 15, 2021, we issued 3.125 million shares of our common stock for $175.0 million. In connection with the issuance, we incurred direct and incremental costs of $7.9 million.
Revolving Facility
On March 30, 2021, we entered into an Amended Credit Agreement, which terminates on July 30, 2024, and consists of a $400 million revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Facility”), including a $40 million sublimit for letters of credit. The Amended Credit Agreement also provides the ability to increase the Revolving Facility in an amount not to exceed (a) during the Covenant Relief Period (as defined below) $125 million and (b) thereafter, $200 million. The funding of any such increases are subject to receipt of lender commitments and satisfaction of customary conditions precedent. Certain of our material subsidiaries have guaranteed our obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limits on cash dividends and share repurchases with respect to our equity interests, and restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, sales of assets, fundamental changes and other matters. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgements, cross defaults to material indebtedness and events constituting a change of control. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the termination of commitments under the Revolving Facility, the declaration that all outstanding loans are immediately due and payable in whole or in part and the requirement of cash collateral deposits in respect of outstanding letters of credit. As of June 29, 2021, we were in compliance with the covenants set forth in the Revolving Facility. (See Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion of our long-term debt.)
During the first half of fiscal 2020, we increased our borrowings under our Revolving Facility to bolster our cash position and enhance financial flexibility. In the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we utilized a portion of the net proceeds from our Notes and common share offerings to reduce the balance on our Revolving Facility, such that at June 29, 2021, we had net availability for borrowings of $240.1 million, based on a $130.0 million outstanding debt balance and $29.9 million in standby letters of credit.
Series A Preferred Stock
During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we issued 200,000 shares of Series A preferred stock for an aggregate purchase price of $200.0 million to increase our liquidity given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations. In connection with the issuance, we incurred direct and incremental costs of $10.3 million.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we declared a cash dividend of $25.35 per share on the Series A preferred stock. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we paid $457.3 million in connection with the cash-settled conversion of 150,000 shares of our outstanding Series A preferred stock (effected through a repurchase agreement), and the share-settled conversion of the remaining 50,000 shares of our outstanding Series A preferred stock into 2,400,864 shares of our common stock, of which $13.6 million was deemed to be a dividend. (See Note 9 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion of our preferred stock.)
Cash Dividends
To preserve liquidity during the COVID-19 pandemic and in conjunction with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, in March 2020, our Board suspended the quarterly dividend on our common stock. Prior to this suspension, our Board declared cash dividends of $0.36 per common share for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Cash dividends of $0.3 million paid in the first half of fiscal 2021 represent dividends previously accrued on restricted stock awards that vested during the quarter. Future decisions to pay or to increase or decrease dividends are at the discretion of the Board and will be dependent on our operating performance, financial condition, capital expenditure requirements, limitations on cash distributions pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement and applicable law, and other such factors that the Board considers relevant.
31
Share Repurchases
Under authorization by our Board to repurchase up to 56.0 million shares of our common stock, we have cumulatively repurchased 53.1 million shares at a total cost of $1,701.3 million through June 29, 2021 with 85,539 shares repurchased at a cost of $4.6 million during the first half of fiscal 2021 to satisfy tax withholding obligations on vested restricted share awards. Our objectives with regard to share repurchases have been to offset the dilution to our shares outstanding that results from equity compensation grants and to supplement our earnings per share growth. Our share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date, does not require us to purchase a specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time.
To preserve liquidity during the COVID-19 pandemic and in conjunction with the terms of our Amended Credit Agreement, in March 2020, our Board suspended share repurchases. Future decisions to repurchase shares are at the discretion of the Board and are based on several factors, including current and forecasted operating cash flows, capital needs associated with new restaurant development and maintenance of existing locations, dividend payments, debt levels and cost of borrowing, obligations associated with the Acquisition, our share price and current market conditions. The timing and number of shares repurchased are also subject to legal constraints and financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement that limit share repurchases based on a defined ratio. (See Note 9 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion of our repurchase authorization and methods.)
Cash Flow Outlook
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, combined with expected cash flows provided by operations and available borrowings under the Revolving Facility, will provide us with adequate liquidity for the next 12 months.
As of June 29, 2021, we had no financing transactions, arrangements or other relationships with any unconsolidated entities or related parties. Additionally, we had no financing arrangements involving synthetic leases or trading activities involving commodity contracts.

The following discussion of market risks contains forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1 of this report and with the following items in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2020: the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part IV, Item 15; the “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A; the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7; and the cautionary statements included throughout the report. Actual results may differ materially from the following discussion based on general conditions in the commodity and financial markets.
32
We purchase food and other commodities for use in our operations based on market prices established with our suppliers. Many of the commodities purchased by us can be subject to volatility due to market supply and demand factors outside of our control. We mitigate the risk of supply shortages and obtain competitive prices by utilizing multiple qualified suppliers for substantially all our ingredients and supplies.
We negotiate short-term and long-term agreements for some of our principal commodity, supply and equipment requirements, such as certain dairy products and poultry, depending on market conditions and expected demand. We continue to evaluate the possibility of entering into similar arrangements for other commodities and periodically evaluate hedging vehicles, such as direct financial instruments, to assist us in managing risk and variability associated with such commodities. Although these vehicles may be available to us, as of June 29, 2021, we had chosen not to enter into any hedging contracts due to pricing volatility, excessive risk premiums, hedge inefficiencies or other factors. Commodities for which we have not entered into contracts can be subject to unforeseen supply and cost fluctuations, which at times may be significant. Additionally, the cost of commodities subject to governmental regulation, such as dairy and corn, can be especially susceptible to price fluctuation. Commodities we purchase on the international market may be subject to even greater fluctuations in cost and availability, which could result from a variety of factors, including the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies, international trade disputes, tariffs and varying global demand. We may or may not have the ability to increase menu prices or vary menu items in response to food commodity price increases. For the second quarters of fiscal 2021 and 2020, a hypothetical increase of 1% in food costs would have negatively impacted cost of sales by $1.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
We are exposed to market risk from interest rate changes on our funded debt. This exposure relates to the component of the interest rate on the Revolving Facility that is indexed to market rates. Based on outstanding borrowings at June 29, 2021 and December 29, 2020, a hypothetical 1% rise in interest rates would have increased interest expense by $1.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, on an annual basis. (See Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion of our long-term debt.)
We are also subject to market risk related to our investments in variable life insurance contracts used to support our non-qualified executive deferred compensation plan to the extent these investments are not equivalent to the related liability. In addition, because changes in these investments are not taxable, gains and losses result in tax benefit and tax expense, respectively, and directly affect net income through the income tax provision. Based on balances at June 29, 2021 and December 29, 2020, a hypothetical 10% decline in the market value of our deferred compensation asset and related liability would not have impacted income before income taxes. However, under such a scenario, net income would have declined by $2.4 million and $2.2 million at June 29, 2021 and December 29, 2020, respectively.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 29, 2021.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
See Note 8 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
A description of the risk factors associated with our business is contained in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2020 (“Annual Report”). These cautionary statements are to be used as a reference in connection with any forward-looking statements. The factors, risks and uncertainties identified in these cautionary statements are in addition to those contained in any other cautionary statements, written or oral, which may be made or otherwise addressed in connection with a forward-looking statement or contained in any of our subsequent filings with the SEC.
We are supplementing the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report as follows:
If we are unable to staff and retain qualified restaurant management and operating personnel in an increasingly competitive market, we may be unable to effectively operate and grow our business and revenues, which could materially adversely affect our financial performance.
Similar to the restaurant industry and broader economy, we are experiencing labor shortfalls relative to our sales levels in certain parts of our workforce as we reopen our dining rooms after the lifting of mandatory, social-distancing regulations related to the COVID-19 pandemic and expand bakery production. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified people, our restaurants and bakery operations could be short staffed, we may be forced to incur overtime expenses, and our ability to operate and expand our concepts effectively and to meet our customers’ demand for bakery goods could be limited, any of which could materially adversely affect our financial performance.
Risks Relating to our Concurrent Public Offerings
In June 2021, we completed an offering of $345 million of 0.375% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) and issued and sold $175 million of shares of our common stock (the “Issuance”). The Notes and Issuance are collectively referred to as the “Offerings.” We used the net proceeds from the Offerings to fund approximately $457.3 million payable in connection with the cash-settled conversion of 150,000 shares of our previously outstanding Series A convertible preferred stock and the share-settled conversion of the remaining 50,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock into approximately 2.4 million shares of our common stock.
The indenture governing the Notes will not restrict us from incurring additional indebtedness, and the incurrence of the Notes and any additional indebtedness could limit the cash flow available for our operations, expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and impair our ability to satisfy our obligations under the Notes.
As of June 29, 2021, we had approximately $475.0 million in principal amount of consolidated indebtedness. We incurred $345.0 million principal amount of additional indebtedness as a result of the offering of the Notes. The indenture governing the Notes does not contain any meaningful restrictive covenants and does not prohibit us or our subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness in the future. Accordingly, we may incur a significant amount of additional indebtedness to meet future financing needs. The incurrence of indebtedness could have significant negative consequences for our security holders and our business, results of operations and financial condition by, among other things:
● | increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions; |
● | limiting our ability to obtain additional financing; |
● | requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness, which will reduce the amount of cash available for other purposes; |
● | limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business; |
34
● | diluting the interests of our existing stockholders as a result of issuing shares of our common stock upon conversion of the Notes; and |
● | placing us at a possible competitive disadvantage with competitors that are less leveraged than us or have better access to capital. |
Our business may not generate sufficient funds, and we may otherwise be unable to maintain sufficient cash reserves, to pay amounts due under our indebtedness, including the Notes, and our cash needs may increase in the future. In addition, our revolving credit facility contains, and any future indebtedness that we may incur may contain, financial and other restrictive covenants that limit our ability to operate our business, raise capital or make payments under our other indebtedness. If we fail to comply with these covenants or to make payments under our indebtedness when due, then we would be in default under that indebtedness, which could, in turn, result in that and our other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full.
The issuance or sale of shares of our common stock, or rights to acquire shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock and the notes.
The Issuance and conversion of Series A convertible preferred stock may dilute the economic and voting rights of our existing stockholders or reduce the market price of our common stock or both. Additionally, we have the right to elect to settle conversion of the Notes either entirely in cash or in combination of cash and shares of common stock. Our election to convert Notes into common stock may further dilute the economic and voting rights of our existing stockholders and/or reduce the market price of our common stock. In addition, the market’s expectation that conversions may occur could depress the trading price of our common stock even in the absence of actual conversions. Moreover, the expectation of conversions could encourage the short selling of our common stock, which could place further downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock.
We may also conduct future offerings of our common stock, preferred stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for our common stock to finance our operations or fund acquisitions, or for other purposes. In addition, we have reserved approximately 4.2 million shares of common stock for grant under our The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated Stock Incentive Plan as of June 29, 2021. If we issue additional shares of our common stock or rights to acquire shares of our common stock, if any of our existing stockholders sells a substantial amount of our common stock, or if the market perceives that such issuances or sales may occur, then the trading price of our common stock may significantly decline. In addition, our issuance of additional shares of common stock will dilute the ownership interests of our existing common stockholders.
Hedging activity by investors in the Notes could depress the trading price of our common stock.
We expect that many investors in the Notes, including potential purchasers of the Notes, will seek to employ a convertible note arbitrage strategy. Under this strategy, investors typically short sell a certain number of shares of our common stock and adjust their short position over time while they continue to hold the Notes. Investors may also implement this type of strategy by entering into swaps on our common stock in lieu of, or in addition to, short selling shares of our common stock. This market activity, or the market’s perception that it will occur, could depress the trading price of our common stock.
Provisions in the indenture governing the Notes could delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover of us.
Certain provisions in the Notes and the indenture governing the Notes could make a third party attempt to acquire us more difficult or expensive. For example, if a takeover constitutes a “fundamental change” (which is defined in the indenture governing the Notes to include certain change-of-control events and the delisting of our common stock), then noteholders will have the right to require us to repurchase their Notes for cash. In addition, if a takeover constitutes a “make-whole fundamental change” (which is defined in the indenture governing the Notes to include, among other events, fundamental changes and certain additional business combination transactions), then we may be required to temporarily increase the conversion rate for the Notes. In either case, and in other cases, our obligations under the Notes and the indenture could increase the cost of acquiring us or otherwise discourage a third party from acquiring us or removing incumbent management, including in a transaction that noteholder holders of our common stock may view as favorable.
35
We may be unable to raise the funds necessary to repurchase the Notes for cash following a fundamental change, or to pay the cash amounts due upon conversion, and our other indebtedness limits our ability to repurchase the Notes or pay cash upon their conversion.
Noteholders of our outstanding Notes may, subject to limited exceptions, require us to repurchase their Notes following a “fundamental change” (which is defined in the indenture governing the Notes) at a cash repurchase price generally equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, all conversions of the Notes will be settled partially or entirely in cash. We may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to repurchase the Notes or pay the cash amounts due upon conversion. In addition, applicable law, regulatory authorities and the agreements governing our current senior secured credit facility or any future indebtedness may restrict our ability to repurchase the Notes or pay the cash amounts due upon conversion. For example, our revolving credit facility restricts us from paying cash upon conversion of the Notes in an amount that exceeds the principal amount being converted. Furthermore, our revolving credit facility places several restrictions on our ability to repurchase the Notes upon a fundamental change. During the covenant relief period of the facility which extends through the first date after December 28, 2021 on which we have delivered certain documentation relating to our compliance with the covenants set forth in the revolving credit facility, we are prohibited from repurchasing the Notes upon a fundamental change. Following the termination of the covenant relief period, we will be permitted under the revolving credit facility to repurchase Notes upon a fundamental change only if (i) no default of event of default exists and (ii) our pro forma net adjusted leverage ratio (as measured in accordance with the revolving credit facility) not exceed 4.75 to 1.00 and our earnings before interest, depreciation, amortization and rental expense to interest and rental expense ratio (as measured in accordance with the revolving credit facility) is at least 1.90 to 1.00.
Our failure to repurchase Notes or pay the cash amounts due upon conversion when required will constitute a default under the indenture governing the Notes. A default under the indenture governing the Notes or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under our current senior secured credit facility and agreements governing our other or future indebtedness, which may result in that other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full. We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy all amounts due under the such indebtedness and the Notes.

(1) | The total number of shares purchased represents shares withheld upon vesting of restricted share awards to satisfy tax withholding obligations. |
Under authorization by our Board to repurchase up to 56.0 million shares of our common stock, we have cumulatively repurchased 53.1 million shares at a total cost of $1,701.3 million through June 29, 2021 with 10,239 shares repurchased at a cost of $0.6 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 to satisfy tax withholding obligations on vested restricted share awards. Our share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date, does not require us to purchase a specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time. To preserve liquidity during the COVID-19 pandemic and in conjunction with the terms of our credit facility, in March 2020, our Board suspended share repurchases. The timing and number of shares repurchased are also subject to legal constraints and financial covenants under our credit facility that limit share repurchases based on a defined ratio.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Amendment” and, together with the Original Agreement (as defined below), the “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 28, 2021, by and among (i) Fox Restaurant Concepts LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (the “Company”), (ii) The Cheesecake Factory Restaurants, Inc., a California corporation (“Purchaser”), and (iii) SWF Posse LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, as the appointed representative of Sellers (“Sellers’ Representative”). Purchaser, the Company and Sellers’ Representative shall each be referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Original Agreement.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Sellers, the Company, Purchaser, Sellers’ Representative and Guarantor entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2019, as amended by the First Amendment to Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2019 (as duly amended from time to time, the “Original Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 10.06 of the Original Agreement, Purchaser, the Company and Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of each Seller) desire to amend the Original Agreement as provided herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for the other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1 Amendments to Section 10.04(b).
(a)The definition of “Aggregate TTM 4-Wall Margin Floor” set forth in Section 10.04(b) of the Original Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows immediately below:
“Aggregate TTM 4-Wall Margin Floor” means 12.5%; provided, however, that if the there is a change in GAAP during the Measurement Period that would alter the Aggregate TTM 4-Wall Margin for the Company’s most recent past fiscal year, had such GAAP changes been applied to that historical period, then the 12.5% will be correspondingly adjusted by the difference between the Aggregate TTM 4-Wall Margin for the Company’s most recent past fiscal year before and after the change in GAAP.
(b)The definition of “Measurement Period” set forth in Section 10.04(b) of the Original Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows immediately below:
1
“Measurement Periods” means each of the 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 Fiscal Years.
(c)The definition of “Aggregate TTM Sales” set forth in Section 10.04(b) of the Original Agreement is hereby deleted.
(d)Section 10.04(b) of the Original Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the definition of “Recorded Sales” set forth immediately below after the definition of “Purchaser Obligations”:
“Recorded Sales” means, with respect to any Measurement Period, the aggregate Sales of all Eligible Restaurants during such Measurement Period.
Section 2 Amendment to Section 1.06. Section 1.06 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth immediately below:
Section 1.06Contingent Consideration.
(a)Contingent Consideration Statement. Within 60 days after the end of each Measurement Period, Purchaser shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Sellers’ Representative an unaudited statement of Recorded Sales and the Aggregate TTM 4-Wall Margin for the Measurement Period (each such statement, a “Contingent Consideration Statement”). Each Contingent Consideration Statement also shall be accompanied by a calculation of the Contingent Consideration Amount, if any, payable with respect to such Measurement Period.
(b)Dispute Resolution.
(i)During the 30-day period following Sellers’ Representative’s receipt of each Contingent Consideration Statement, Sellers’ Representative and its auditors and Representatives shall be permitted to review the working papers of Purchaser and its accountants relating to such Contingent Consideration Statement and the calculation of the Recorded Sales, Aggregate TTM 4-Wall Margin, together with all other reasonably requested materials relating thereto (the “Contingent Consideration Calculations”); provided, that Sellers’ Representative and its auditors and Representatives shall have executed all release letters (if any) reasonably requested by Purchaser’s and the Company’s accountants in connection therewith. Each Contingent Consideration Statement and applicable Contingent Consideration Calculations shall become final and binding upon the Parties hereto on the 30th day following delivery thereof, unless Sellers’ Representative delivers written notice of its disagreement with such Contingent Consideration Calculations before such date. Any such notice of disagreement shall (X) specify in reasonable detail the specific amount(s) disputed, Sellers’ Representative’s rationale for such dispute(s) and its proposed calculation for such disputed amount(s), and shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation therefor, and (Y) only include disagreements (x) based on mathematical errors, or (y) based on the applicable Contingent Consideration Calculations not being calculated in accordance with this Agreement, including any definitions in this Agreement used in such Contingent Consideration
2
Calculations (the “Contingent Consideration Objection Notice”). If a Contingent Consideration Objection Notice is delivered to Purchaser in a timely manner, then the Contingent Consideration Calculations (as revised in accordance with this sentence) shall become final and binding upon the Parties hereto on the earlier of (A) the date Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the applicable Contingent Consideration Objection Notice (and such Contingent Consideration Statement and Contingent Consideration Calculations shall be final and binding to the extent any such matters are so resolved) or (B) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm (and such Contingent Consideration Statement and Contingent Consideration Calculations shall be final and binding to the extent any such matters are so resolved). Any items set forth in such Contingent Consideration Statement and Contingent Consideration Calculations that are not disputed in a Contingent Consideration Objection Notice timely delivered in accordance with this Section 1.06(b) shall be deemed final and binding upon the Parties hereto as set forth in the applicable Contingent Consideration Statement and Contingent Consideration Calculations. During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Contingent Consideration Objection Notice, Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the applicable Contingent Consideration Objection Notice; provided, that the Parties hereto agree that each item of the applicable Contingent Consideration Statement and Contingent Consideration Calculations shall not be outside the range established by the amounts, or the relative positions taken, by Purchaser, on the one hand, as set forth in such Contingent Consideration Statement and Contingent Consideration Calculations with respect to such items, and by Sellers’ Representative, on the other hand, as set forth in the applicable Contingent Consideration Objection Notice with respect to such items. During such period Purchaser and its auditors and Representatives shall have access to the working papers of Sellers’ Representative and Sellers’ Representative’s accountants prepared in connection with the applicable Contingent Consideration Objection Notice, together with all other reasonably requested materials relating thereto; provided, that Purchaser and its auditors and Representatives shall have executed all release letters (if any) reasonably requested by Sellers’ Representative’s accountants in connection therewith. Neither Purchaser nor Sellers’ Representative may change its calculations from the amounts proposed in the applicable Contingent Consideration Statement and Contingent Consideration Calculations (with respect to Purchaser) and the applicable Contingent Consideration Objection Notice (with respect Sellers’ Representative) without the other’s consent.
(ii)At the end of such 30-day period, to the extent Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve any dispute set forth in the applicable Contingent Consideration Objection Notice, Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall jointly submit any such remaining disputes (the “Disputed Contingent Consideration Items”) to the Accounting Firm. Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall instruct the Accounting Firm to resolve, in accordance with this Agreement, only the Disputed Contingent Consideration Items. Within 30 days after retaining the Accounting Firm, each of Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall deliver to the other and the Accounting Firm a report setting forth such
3
party’s determination and calculation of the Disputed Contingent Consideration Items; provided, that the Accounting Firm shall engage in no other ex parte communication with Purchaser or Sellers’ Representative (or any of their respective Representatives) without the consent of both Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative. No party will disclose to the Accounting Firm, and the Accounting Firm will not consider for any purpose, any settlement discussions or settlement offer made by any party, unless otherwise agreed to by Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative. Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall jointly request that the Accounting Firm render a decision resolving the matters submitted to the Accounting Firm as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than 30 days after such submission. To the extent Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative are unable to mutually agree on any procedure by which the Accounting Firm considers and resolves the Disputed Contingent Consideration Items within 10 Business Days of the engagement of the Accounting Firm, the Accounting Firm will determine the appropriate procedures. Any determination made by the Accounting Firm shall not be outside the range established by the amounts, or the relative positions taken, by Purchaser, on the one hand, as set forth in the applicable Contingent Consideration Statement and Contingent Consideration Calculations, and by Sellers’ Representative, on the other hand, as set forth in the applicable Contingent Consideration Objection Notice. The Accounting Firm shall set forth its determination of all Disputed Contingent Consideration Items in a written report, which report shall include a worksheet setting forth the material calculations used in arriving at such determination and a calculation of the apportionment of the fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 1.06(b)(iii). The Parties acknowledge and agree that, if any such dispute is submitted to the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 1.06(b), the applicable Recorded Sales, Aggregate TTM 4-Wall Margin and Contingent Consideration Calculations, as determined by the Accounting Firm, shall constitute the applicable Recorded Sales, Aggregate TTM 4-Wall Margin and Contingent Consideration Calculations and be final, binding, and conclusive on the Parties for purposes of this Agreement.
(iii)If requested by the Accounting Firm, Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative agree to execute a reasonable engagement letter. The cost of any review by the Accounting Firm (including the fees and expenses, including any retainer, of the Accounting Firm and reasonable attorney fees and expenses of the Parties) pursuant to this Section 1.06(b) shall be borne by Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocations shall also be determined by the Accounting Firm at the time its determination is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. However, initially, any retainer charged by the Accounting Firm shall be paid 50% by Purchaser and 50% by Sellers’ Representative, with such amount to be reimbursed by the Party responsible for paying the cost of the review in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. All other fees and expenses incurred by Purchaser or Sellers’ Representative in connection with the preparation, review or certification of the applicable Contingent Consideration Statement and Contingent Consideration Calculations or the applicable Contingent Consideration Objection Notice shall be borne by the Party incurring such fees and expenses.
4
(iv) A court of competent jurisdiction shall be permitted to enforce the determination of the Accounting Firm, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 1.06.
(c)Calculation of Contingent Consideration Amount; Payment of Contingent Consideration Amount.
(i) Following the Closing, the Contingent Consideration will be paid and calculated in accordance with Exhibit C.
(ii)For the avoidance of doubt, any payment made pursuant to or in connection with this Section 1.06 shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the Purchase Price to the extent permitted by applicable Law.
(iii)The Contingent Consideration payable hereunder reflects the difficulty in valuing the Membership Interests, is intended to be part of the total purchase price hereunder to Group A Sellers in exchange for their Membership Interests, is not intended to be compensatory in nature and the payment thereof is not dependent upon the continued employment or services of any Person or individual.
(d)Purchaser Discretion.
(i)Sellers understand and acknowledge that (A) except as provided in Exhibit G, Guarantor may operate its business and the business of its Affiliates (including the Company after the Closing) in the manner it deems appropriate in its sole discretion and (B) there are no implied duties under applicable Law or otherwise with respect to this Section 1.06.
(ii)Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after Closing, none of Guarantor or Purchaser shall take any actions in bad faith with the specific purpose of avoiding or reducing the amount of Contingent Consideration payable hereunder.
(e)Termination Option. In the event of a Guarantor Change of Control, Purchaser shall deliver written notice thereof to Sellers’ Representative no later than 30 days prior to the closing of such Guarantor Change of Control. Such notice will notify the Seller’s Representative that upon the Guarantor’s Change of Control, (i) Purchaser shall pay Sellers’ Representative (to be distributed to Group A Sellers in accordance with their Group A Pro Rata Shares) the remaining amount of the Deferred Payment Holdback Amount (other than the Indemnity Holdback Amount) and (ii) that Sellers’ Representative may exercise (prior to the Guarantor’s Change of Control, or for a minimum of 30 days after receipt of the notice) an option to require Purchaser to also pay Seller’s Representative $40,000,000, less any amount of Contingent Consideration previously paid by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement in exchange for any remaining Contingent Consideration. The amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) are collective the “Termination Amount.” The payment of the Termination Amount shall be conditioned upon the closing of such Guarantor Change of Control. For clarity, upon Purchaser’s payment of the entire Termination Amount, Purchaser shall not have any further obligation to pay the Deferred Payment Holdback Amount (other than the Indemnity Holdback Amount) or Contingent Consideration under this Agreement
5
or otherwise (it being understood that the Indemnity Holdback Amount shall continue to be paid in accordance with Section 1.04).

Significant Accounting Policies | THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY INCORPORATED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiaries (referred to herein collectively as the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions for the periods presented have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited financial statements presented herein include all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the period. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2020 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2021 (“fiscal 2020 10-K”). We utilize a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Tuesday closest to December 31 for financial reporting purposes. Fiscal 2021 consists of 52 weeks and will end on December 28, 2021. Fiscal 2020, which ended on December 29, 2020, was also a 52-week year. Beginning with our fiscal 2020 10-K, we combined accounts receivable and other receivable on the consolidated balance sheet and statement of cash flow. Corresponding balances for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2020 were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. COVID-19 Pandemic We are subject to continued risks and uncertainties as a result of the outbreak of, and local, state and federal governmental responses to, the COVID-19 pandemic which was declared a National Public Health Emergency in March 2020. We experienced significant disruptions to our business as suggested and mandated social distancing and shelter-in-place orders led to the temporary closure of a number of restaurants across our portfolio while the remaining locations shifted to an off-premise only operating model on an interim basis. In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, certain jurisdictions began allowing the reopening of restaurant dining rooms, and we began to reopen dining rooms across our concepts. While restrictions on the type of permitted operating model and occupancy capacity continue to change, as of June 29, 2021, nearly all of our restaurants were operating with no indoor dining restrictions. We cannot predict how long the COVID-19 pandemic will last, whether vaccines will be effective at eliminating or slowing the spread of the virus or variants, whether it will reoccur or whether variants will spike, what additional restrictions may be enacted, to what extent we can maintain sales volumes during or following the resumption of mandated social distancing protocols or masks mandates and what long-lasting effects the COVID-19 pandemic may have on the restaurant industry as a whole. The extent of the reopening process, the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumer spending behavior, and our ability to continue to adequately staff our restaurants, will determine the continued significance of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to our operating results and financial position. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which is intended to simplify the accounting and measurement of convertible instruments and the settlement assessment for contracts in an entity’s own equity. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 utilizing the modified retrospective method and, accordingly, recorded a $4.8 million cumulative adjustment to retained earnings to reverse previously recorded beneficial conversion features. As further discussed in Note 5, we issued certain convertible senior notes due 2026 (“Notes”) during the second quarter of fiscal 2021, and the accounting for these instruments was based on the guidance in ASU 2020-06. Additionally, the impact on diluted earnings per share of the Notes was calculated based on the if-converted method, as further described in Note 11. |

Fair Value Measurements | 2. Fair Value Measurements Fair value measurements are estimated based on valuation techniques and inputs categorized as follows:
The following tables present the components and classification of our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration and compensation liabilities categorized as Level 3 (in thousands):
The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration and compensation liabilities was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo model based on estimated future revenues, margins and volatility factors, among other variables and estimates and has no minimum or maximum payment. The undiscounted range of outcomes per the Monte Carlo model was $0 to $162.7 million. Results could change materially if different estimates and assumptions were used. The significant increase in the fair value of the contingent consideration during the first half of fiscal 2021 primarily related to the impact of an amendment to the agreement for the acquisitions of North Italia and FRC (the “Acquisition”) that, among other things, extended the measurement period through fiscal 2026. The fair values of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivable, income taxes receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, income taxes payable and other accrued expenses approximate their carrying amounts due to their short duration. As of June 29, 2021, we had $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding. The estimated fair value of the Notes based on a market approach as of June 29, 2021 was approximately $336.7 million. The Notes were categorized as Level 2 instruments as the estimated fair value was determined based on the estimated or actual bids and offers of the Notes in an over-the-counter market on the last business day of the reporting period. See Note 5 for further discussion of the Notes. |

Long-Term Debt | |
Long-Term Debt | 5. Long-Term Debt Revolving Credit Facility On March 30, 2021, we entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to our existing Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated July 30, 2019 (as amended by that certain First Amendment, dated as of May 1, 2020 and by the Second Amendment, collectively, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement, which terminates on July 30, 2024, consists of a $400 million revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Facility”), including a $40 million sublimit for letters of credit.The Amended Credit Agreement also provides the ability to increase the Revolving Facility in an amount not to exceed (a) during the Covenant Relief Period (as defined below) $125 million and (b) thereafter, $200 million. The funding of any such increases are subject to receipt of lender commitments and satisfaction of customary conditions precedent. Certain of our material subsidiaries have guaranteed our obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment, among other things, (i) extended the prior covenant relief period during which the testing of the net adjusted debt to EBITDAR ratio covenant (the “Net Adjusted Leverage Ratio”) and the EBITDAR to interest and rent expense ratio covenant (the “EBITDAR Ratio”) is suspended until the quarter ending December 28, 2021 (the “Covenant Relief Period”), (ii) continued to impose a monthly liquidity covenant of $100 million until the Company has demonstrated compliance with the financial covenants as of the quarter ending December 28, 2021, (iii) provided that the obligations thereunder be secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our and any guarantor’s property, with such property to be released upon (a) the termination of the Covenant Relief Period, (b) the Company’s compliance with the Net Adjusted Leverage Ratio and the EBITDAR Ratio as of the quarter ending on March 29, 2022, (c) neither the Company nor any of the guarantors having incurred unsecured debt using certain debt baskets under the Revolving Facility unless such debt is convertible debt or subordinated on customary debt subordination terms reasonably acceptable to the administrative agent and (d) no default or event of default having occurred or continuing, (iv) amended certain negative covenants during the Covenant Relief Period, including certain restrictions on capital expenditures, restricted payments, investments and indebtedness, and (v) permitted the payment of cash dividends with respect to our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series A preferred stock”) for each fiscal quarter of 2021 in an amount not to exceed $5.25 million per quarter. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement during the Covenant Relief Period bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either: (i) the adjusted LIBO Rate (as customarily defined, the “Adjusted LIBO Rate”) plus 2.5%, or (ii) the sum of (a) the highest of (1) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the prime rate in effect in the United States, (2) the greater of the rate calculated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as the effective federal funds rate or the rate that is published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as an overnight bank funding rate, in either case plus 0.5%, and (3) the one-month Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.0%, plus (b) 1.5%. We also pay a fee of 0.4% on the daily amount of unused commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement. Subsequent to the Covenant Relief Period, borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement will bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either: (i) the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a margin that is based on our net adjusted leverage ratio, or (ii) the sum of (a) the highest of (1) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the prime rate in effect in the United States, (2) the greater of the rate calculated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as the effective federal funds rate or the rate that is published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as an overnight bank funding rate, in either case plus 0.5%, and (3) the one-month Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.0%, plus (b) a margin that is based on our net adjusted leverage ratio. Letters of credit bear fees that are equivalent to the interest rate margin that is applicable to revolving loans that bear interest at the adjusted LIBO Rate plus other customary fees charged by the issuing bank. We paid certain customary loan origination fees in conjunction with the Amended Credit Agreement. At June 29, 2021 we had net availability for borrowings of $240.1 million, based on a $130.0 million outstanding debt balance and $29.9 million in standby letters of credit. Our Liquidity balance at June 30, 2021 was $411.9 million, and we were in compliance with all covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement in effect at that date. The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limits on cash dividends and share repurchases with respect to our equity interests, and restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, sales of assets, fundamental changes and other matters. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgements, cross defaults to material indebtedness and events constituting a change of control. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the termination of commitments under the Revolving Facility, the declaration that all outstanding loans are immediately due and payable in whole or in part and the requirement of cash collateral deposits in respect of outstanding letters of credit. Convertible Senior Notes On June 15, 2021, we issued $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2026 (“Notes”). The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were approximately $334.9 million after deducting issuance costs related to the Notes. The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations and are (i) equal in right of payment with our existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent we are not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of our subsidiaries. The Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture (the “Base Indenture”) between us and a trustee (“Trustee”), dated as of June 15, 2021, as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture,” and the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), dated as of June 15, 2021, between the Company and the Trustee. The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 0.375% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2021. The Notes will mature on June 15, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before February 17, 2026, noteholders will have the right to convert their Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after February 17, 2026, noteholders may convert their Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. We will have the right to elect to settle conversions either entirely in cash or in a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. However, upon conversion of any Notes, the conversion value, which will be determined over an “Observation Period” (as defined in the Indenture) consisting of 30 trading days, will be paid in cash up to at least the principal amount of the Notes being converted. The initial is 12.7551 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $78.40 per share of common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations described below), at our option at any time, and from time to time, on or after June 20, 2024 and on or before the 30th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date we send the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date we send such notice. However, we may not redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes unless at least $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time we send the related redemption notice. In addition, calling any Note for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption. If certain corporate events that constitute a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then, subject to a limited exception for certain cash mergers, noteholders may require us to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving us and certain de-listing events with respect to our common stock. The Notes will have customary provisions relating to the occurrence of “Events of Default” (as defined in the Indenture), which include the following: (i) certain payment defaults on the Notes (which, in the case of a default in the payment of interest on the Notes, will be subject to a 30-day cure period); (ii) our failure to send certain notices under the Indenture within specified periods of time; (iii) our failure to comply with certain covenants in the Indenture relating to our ability to consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of our assets and our subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another person; (iv) a default by us in our other obligations or agreements under the Indenture or the Notes if such default is not cured or waived within 60 days after notice is given in accordance with the Indenture; (v) certain defaults by us or any of our significant subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness for borrowed money of at least $20,000,000; (vi) the rendering of certain judgments against us or any of our significant subsidiaries for the payment of at least $25,000,000, where such judgments are not discharged or stayed within 60 days after the date on which the right to appeal has expired or on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished; and (vii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization involving us or any of our significant subsidiaries. If an Event of Default involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events with respect to us (and not solely with respect to a significant subsidiary of ours) occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any person. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then, the Trustee, by notice to us, or noteholders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, by notice to us and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, we may elect, at our option, that the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to certain failures by us to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Indenture consists exclusively of the right of the noteholders to receive special interest on the Notes for up to 180 days at a specified rate per annum not exceeding 0.50% on the principal amount of the Notes. As of June 29, 2021, the Notes had a gross principal balance of $345.0 million and a balance of $335.0 million, net of unamortized issuance costs of $10.0 million. The unamortized balance of issuance costs was recorded as a contra-liability and netted with long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Total amortization expense was $0.1 million during the quarter ended June 29, 2021 and was included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income/(loss). The effective interest rate for the Notes was 0.96% as of June 29, 2021. |

Derivative | 7. Derivative On June 22, 2021, we terminated our interest rate swap agreement at a cost of $2.4 million. This interest rate swap, which would have matured on April 1, 2025, was established to manage our exposure to interest rate movements on our Revolving Facility. The interest rate swap entitled us to receive a variable rate of interest based on the one-month LIBO rate in exchange for the payment of a fixed interest rate of 0.802%. The notional amount of the swap agreement was $280.0 million through March 31, 2023 and $140.0 million from April 1, 2023 through April 1, 2025. The differences between the variable LIBO rate and the interest rate swap rate were settled monthly. Prior to termination, the interest rate swap was determined to be an effective hedging agreement. Our only derivative was the aforementioned interest rate swap, which is designated as a cash flow hedge. No gains or losses representing amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness were recognized in earnings in the first two quarters of fiscal 2021 or fiscal 2020. The following table summarizes the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) ("AOCI"), net of tax, related to the interest rate swap (in thousands):
We classified this interest rate swap within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy described in Note 2. Our counterparty under this arrangement provided monthly statements of the market values of this instrument based on significant inputs that were observable or could be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. The impact on the derivative liability for our and the counterparty’s non-performance risk to the derivative trade was considered when measuring the fair value of derivative liability. |

Commitments and Contingencies | 8. Commitments and Contingencies On June 7, 2018, the California Department of Industrial Relations issued a $4.2 million wage citation jointly against the Company and our vendor that provides janitorial services to eight of our Southern California restaurants, alleging that the janitorial vendor or its subcontractor failed to comply with various provisions of the California Labor Code (Wage Citation Case No. 35-CM-188798-16). The wage citation seeks to recover penalties and other monetary payments on behalf of the employees that worked for this vendor or its subcontractor. On June 28, 2018, we filed an appeal of the wage citation. On June 11, 2020, the DLSE postponed the hearing on the Company’s appeal due to safety concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is not possible at this time to reasonably estimate the outcome of or any potential liability from this matter and, accordingly, we have not reserved for any potential future payments. On June 22, 2018, the Internal Revenue Service issued a Notice of Deficiency in which they disallowed $8.0 million of our §199 Domestic Production Activities Deduction for tax years 2010, 2011 and 2012. On September 11, 2018 we petitioned the United States Tax Court for a redetermination of the deficiency. The tax court has assigned docket number 18150-18 to our case. On June 30, 2021, the judge issued a ruling on certain procedural motions filed by the parties and set a timeline to conclude discovery and determine if the matter will proceed to trial. We intend to vigorously defend our position and based on our analysis of the law, regulations and relevant facts, we have not reserved for any potential future payments. Within the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to private lawsuits, government audits and investigations, administrative proceedings and other claims. These matters typically involve claims from customers, staff members and others related to operational and employment issues common to the foodservice industry. A number of these claims may exist at any given time, and some of the claims may be pled as class actions. From time to time, we are also involved in lawsuits with respect to infringements of, or challenges to, our registered trademarks and other intellectual property, both domestically and abroad. We could be affected by adverse publicity and litigation costs resulting from such allegations, regardless of whether they are valid or whether we are legally determined to be liable. At this time, we believe that the amount of reasonably possible losses resulting from final disposition of any pending lawsuits, audits, investigations, proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect individually or in the aggregate on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. It is possible, however, that our future results of operations for a particular quarter or fiscal year could be impacted by changes in circumstances relating to lawsuits, audits, proceedings or claims. Legal costs related to such claims are expensed as incurred. |

Stockholders' Equity and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock | |
Stockholders' Equity and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock | 9. Stockholders’ Equity and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Common Stock Issuance On June 15, 2021, we issued 3.125 million shares of our common stock for $175.0 million. In connection with the issuance, we incurred direct and incremental costs of $8.0 million. Common Stock – Dividends and Share Repurchases To preserve liquidity during the COVID-19 pandemic and in conjunction with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, in March 2020, our Board suspended the quarterly dividend on our common stock, as well as share repurchases. Prior to this suspension, our Board declared cash dividends of $0.36 per common share for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Future decisions to pay or to increase or decrease dividends are at the discretion of the Board and will be dependent on our operating performance, financial condition, capital expenditure requirements, limitations on cash distributions pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement and applicable law, and such other factors that the Board considers relevant. (See Note 5 for further discussion of our long-term debt.) Under authorization by our Board to repurchase up to 56.0 million shares of our common stock, we have cumulatively repurchased 53.1 million shares at a total cost of $1,701.3 million through June 29, 2021 with 10,239 and 85,539 shares repurchased at a cost of $0.6 million and $4.6 million during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended, respectively, to satisfy tax withholding obligations on vested restricted share awards. Our objectives with regard to share repurchases have been to offset the dilution to our shares outstanding that results from equity compensation grants and to supplement our earnings per share growth. Our share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date, does not require us to purchase a specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time. Shares may be repurchased in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at times and prices considered appropriate by us. Future decisions to repurchase shares are at the discretion of the Board and are based on several factors, including current and forecasted operating cash flows, capital needs associated with new restaurant development and maintenance of existing locations, dividend payments, debt levels and cost of borrowing, obligations associated with the Acquisition, our share price and current market conditions. The timing and number of shares repurchased are also subject to legal constraints and financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement that limit share repurchases based on a defined ratio. (See Note 5 for further discussion of our long-term debt.) Series A Convertible Preferred Stock On April 20, 2020, we issued 200,000 shares of Series A preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $200.0 million, or $1,000 per share. In connection with the issuance, we incurred direct and incremental costs of $10.3 million, which reduced the Series A preferred stock balance at the issuance date and were recognized through retained earnings on June 30, 2020, the first measurement date. Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we recorded a $4.8 million cumulative adjustment to retained earnings to reverse beneficial conversion features recorded during fiscal 2020. On June 15, 2021, we paid $443.8 million in connection with the cash-settled conversion of 150,000 shares of our outstanding Series A preferred stock (effected through a repurchase agreement), which was recognized through additional paid in capital. We also share-settled the conversion of the remaining 50,000 shares of our outstanding Series A convertible preferred stock into 2,400,864 shares of our common stock. These are both based on the then current liquidation preference per share of $1,067.42 and conversion price of $22.23. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we declared a cash dividend of $5.1 million, or $25.35 per share, on the Series A preferred stock. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, $13.6 million in payments were made in connection with the conversion of the preferred stock consisting of $3.9 million, or $19.72 per share of accrued dividends and $9.7 million of an inducement, which is also, deemed to be dividends. |

Stock-Based Compensation | 10. Stock-Based Compensation We maintain stock-based incentive plan under which incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares and restricted share units may be granted to staff members, consultants and non-employee directors. The following table presents information related to stock-based compensation, net of forfeitures (in thousands):
Stock Options We did not issue any stock options during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 or 2020. Stock option activity during the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2021 was as follows:
The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2021 was $1.4 million and $7.1 million, respectively. There were no options exercised during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2020. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2020 was $35.6 million. As of June 29, 2021, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options was $5.9 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.0 years. Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units Restricted share and restricted share unit activity during the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2021 was as follows:
Fair value of our restricted shares and restricted share units is based on our closing stock price on the date of grant. The weighted average fair value for restricted shares and restricted share units issued during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020 was $59.07 and $23.56, respectively. The fair value of shares that vested during the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2021 was $ 1.6 million and $11.1 million, respectively. The fair value of shares that vested during the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2020 was $1.8 million and $12.4 million, respectively. As of June 29, 2021, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted shares and restricted share units was $ 46.6 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.1 years. |

Net Income/(Loss) Per Share | 11. Net Income/(Loss) Per Share Basic net income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, reduced by unvested restricted stock awards. At June 29, 2021 and June 30, 2020, 2.1 million and 2.0 million shares, respectively, of restricted stock issued were unvested and, therefore, excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share for the fiscal periods ended on those dates. Diluted net income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents for the Notes are determined by application of the if-converted method, and common stock equivalents for outstanding stock options and restricted stock are determined by the application of the treasury stock method. Holders of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series A preferred stock") participated in dividends on an as-converted basis when declared on common stock. As a result, our Series A preferred stock met the definition of a participating security which requires us to apply the two-class method to compute both basic and diluted net income per share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that treats participating securities as having rights to earnings that would otherwise have been available to common stockholders. In addition, as our Series A preferred stock was a participating security, we are required to calculate diluted net income per share under the if-converted method in addition to the two-class method and utilize the most dilutive result. In periods where there is a net loss, no allocation of undistributed net loss to preferred stockholders was performed as the holders of our Series A preferred stock were not contractually obligated to participate in our losses.

Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiaries (referred to herein collectively as the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions for the periods presented have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited financial statements presented herein include all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the period. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2020 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2021 (“fiscal 2020 10-K”). We utilize a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Tuesday closest to December 31 for financial reporting purposes. Fiscal 2021 consists of 52 weeks and will end on December 28, 2021. Fiscal 2020, which ended on December 29, 2020, was also a 52-week year. Beginning with our fiscal 2020 10-K, we combined accounts receivable and other receivable on the consolidated balance sheet and statement of cash flow. Corresponding balances for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2020 were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
COVID-19 Pandemic | COVID-19 Pandemic We are subject to continued risks and uncertainties as a result of the outbreak of, and local, state and federal governmental responses to, the COVID-19 pandemic which was declared a National Public Health Emergency in March 2020. We experienced significant disruptions to our business as suggested and mandated social distancing and shelter-in-place orders led to the temporary closure of a number of restaurants across our portfolio while the remaining locations shifted to an off-premise only operating model on an interim basis. In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, certain jurisdictions began allowing the reopening of restaurant dining rooms, and we began to reopen dining rooms across our concepts. While restrictions on the type of permitted operating model and occupancy capacity continue to change, as of June 29, 2021, nearly all of our restaurants were operating with no indoor dining restrictions. We cannot predict how long the COVID-19 pandemic will last, whether vaccines will be effective at eliminating or slowing the spread of the virus or variants, whether it will reoccur or whether variants will spike, what additional restrictions may be enacted, to what extent we can maintain sales volumes during or following the resumption of mandated social distancing protocols or masks mandates and what long-lasting effects the COVID-19 pandemic may have on the restaurant industry as a whole. The extent of the reopening process, the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumer spending behavior, and our ability to continue to adequately staff our restaurants, will determine the continued significance of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to our operating results and financial position. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which is intended to simplify the accounting and measurement of convertible instruments and the settlement assessment for contracts in an entity’s own equity. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 utilizing the modified retrospective method and, accordingly, recorded a $4.8 million cumulative adjustment to retained earnings to reverse previously recorded beneficial conversion features. As further discussed in Note 5, we issued certain convertible senior notes due 2026 (“Notes”) during the second quarter of fiscal 2021, and the accounting for these instruments was based on the guidance in ASU 2020-06. Additionally, the impact on diluted earnings per share of the Notes was calculated based on the if-converted method, as further described in Note 11. |
