In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company completed the refranchising of 23 Company-owned restaurants in South Florida for $7.5 million in cash proceeds.  The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $2.9 million shown in Refranchising gains (losses), net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.  In connection with the divestiture, we wrote off  an allocation of the goodwill related to the domestic Company-owned restaurants reporting unit of $2.4 million, which represents the pro rata fair value of the refranchised restaurants in comparison to the total fair value of the Company-owned restaurants reporting unit.  

In the third quarter of 2019, the Company refranchised 19 Company-owned restaurants in Macon, Georgia for $5.6 million in cash proceeds.  The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $1.7 million shown in Refranchising gains (losses), net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.  In connection with the divestiture, we wrote off an allocation of the goodwill related to the domestic Company-owned restaurants reporting unit of $2.0 million, which represents the pro rata fair value of the refranchised restaurants in comparison to the total fair value of the Company-owned restaurants reporting unit.

In the third quarter of 2018, the Company completed the refranchising of 31 stores owned through a joint venture in the Minneapolis, Minnesota market. The Company held a 70% ownership share in the restaurants being refranchised. Total consideration for the asset sale of the restaurants was $3.75 million.  In connection with the divestiture, we wrote off an allocation of the goodwill related to the domestic Company-owned restaurants reporting unit by approximately $600,000, which represents the pro rata fair value of the refranchised restaurants in comparison to the total fair value of the Company-owned restaurants’ reporting unit.  We recorded a pre-tax refranchising gain of approximately $930,000 associated with the sale of the restaurants.

In the second quarter of 2018, the Company refranchised 34 Company-owned restaurants and a quality control center located in Beijing and Tianjin, China.  The Company recorded an impairment of $1.7 million in 2017 associated with the China operations.  We recorded a pre-tax loss of approximately $1.9 million associated with the sale of the restaurants and reversed $1.3 million of accumulated other comprehensive income related to foreign currency translation as part of the disposal. The $1.9 million pre-tax loss in 2018 and impairment recorded in 2017 are recorded in refranchising and impairment gains (losses), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  In addition, we also had $2.4 million of additional tax expense associated with the China refranchise in the second quarter of 2018.  This additional tax expense is primarily attributable to the required recapture of operating losses previously taken by the Company.

In the first quarter of 2018, the Company refranchised 31 restaurants owned through a joint venture in the Denver, Colorado market.  The Company held a 60% ownership share in the restaurants being refranchised.  The noncontrolling interest portion of the joint venture arrangement was previously recorded at redemption value within the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  Total consideration for the asset sale of the restaurants was $4.8 million, consisting of cash proceeds of $3.7 million, including cash paid for various working capital items, and notes financed by Papa John’s for $1.1 million.

In connection with the divestiture, we wrote off an allocation of the goodwill related to the domestic Company-owned restaurants reporting unit of $700,000, which represents the pro rata fair value of the refranchised restaurants in comparison to the total fair value of the Company-owned restaurants’ reporting unit.  We recorded a pre-tax refranchising gain of approximately $690,000.
