Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements of Brinker International,
Inc. ("Company") as of December 25, 1996 and June 26, 1996 and for the thirteen
weeks and twenty-six weeks ended December 25, 1996 and December 27, 1995 have
been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company owns or franchises over 650
restaurants under the names of Chili's Grill & Bar ("Chili's"), Romano's
Macaroni Grill ("Macaroni Grill"), On The Border Cafes ("On The Border"),
Cozymel's Coastal Mexican Grill ("Cozymel's"), Maggiano's Little Italy
("Maggiano's"), Corner Bakery ("Corner Bakery"), and Eatzi's Market & Bakery
("Eatzi's").
The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to fairly state the operating results for the respective
periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
The notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in
the June 26, 1996 Form 10-K. Company management believes that the disclosures
are sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes.
Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.
2. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Both primary and fully diluted net income (loss) per share are based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by
common equivalent shares (stock options) determined using the treasury stock
method. Primary weighted average equivalent shares are determined based on the
average market price exceeding the exercise price of the stock options. Fully
diluted weighted average equivalent shares are determined based on the higher of
the average or ending market price exceeding the exercise price of the stock
options. Common equivalent shares for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 are
excluded from the net loss per share computation because they were anti-
dilutive.
3. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On January 23, 1997, the Board of Directors approved a plan to repurchase
up to $150 million of the Company's common stock. Repurchases will be made from
time to time in open market transactions. All repurchases will be made in
accordance with applicable securities regulations, and the timing of the
repurchases will be dependent upon market conditions, share price, and other
factors. The repurchased common stock may be used by the Company to satisfy
obligations under its savings plans, to meet the needs of its various stock
option plans, or for other corporate purposes.

REVENUES
Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 increased to $310.9 million,
7.3% over the $289.7 million generated for the same quarter of fiscal 1996.
Revenues for the twenty-six weeks ended December 25, 1996 rose 7.0% to $619.6
million from the $579.1 million generated for the same period of fiscal 1996.
The increase is primarily attributable to the 76 Company-operated restaurants
opened or acquired since December 27, 1995. The Company increased its
capacity (as measured in sales weeks) for the second quarter and year-to-date
of fiscal 1997 by 7.1% and 5.5%, respectively, compared to the respective
prior year periods. Average weekly sales increased 0.2% and 1.3% for the
second quarter and year-to-date, respectively, from the same periods of
fiscal 1996.
COSTS AND EXPENSES (AS A PERCENT OF REVENUES)
Cost of sales decreased for the second quarter and year-to-date of fiscal
1997 as compared to the respective periods for fiscal 1996. Favorable
commodity prices for seafood and other food items (e.g., shortening, rice,
and ketchup) as well as menu price increases contributed to the decrease.
Cost of sales continued to increase in the second quarter as compared to the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 due to unfavorable commodity prices for dairy,
poultry, produce, and meat.
Restaurant expenses increased on both a comparative second quarter and
year-to-date basis, primarily as a result of increases in management and
hourly labor. The increase in management labor is due to increases in base
pay to remain competitive in the industry. At the restaurant level, hourly
labor costs are up due to increases in the minimum wage as well as wage rate
increases for non-minimum wage employees in order to meet industry
competition and retain quality employees. In addition, hourly labor costs
increased as a result of training costs associated with the second quarter
roll-out of new products and new inventory management programs. Partially
offsetting the labor increases were reduced insurance costs resulting from an
aggressive safety program and claims management strategies put in place by
the Company over the last 18 to 24 months.
Depreciation and amortization increased for both the second quarter and
year-to-date of fiscal 1997. Depreciation and amortization increases related
to fiscal 1996 acquisitions, new unit construction costs, and ongoing remodel
costs were partially offset by a declining depreciable asset base for older
units.
General and administrative expenses increased in the second quarter and
year-to-date of fiscal 1997 compared to the respective fiscal 1996 periods.
Incremental costs in the second quarter and year-to-date are primarily
attributable to additional staff and support as the Company continues the
expansion of its restaurant concepts. Additionally, year-to-date expenses
increased due to the accrual of profit sharing.
Interest expense increased in the second quarter and year-to-date of fiscal
1997 compared to the respective fiscal 1996 periods due to incremental
borrowings on the Company's credit facilities combined with a decline in the
construction-in-progress balances subject to interest capitalization.
Other, net, increased slightly for both the second quarter and year-to-date
of fiscal 1997 primarily due to gains on sales of land in the second quarter.
INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective income tax rate was 33.5% for the second quarter and
year-to-date of fiscal 1997 compared to 35.0% for the same periods of fiscal
1996. The fiscal 1997 effective income tax rate has decreased as a result of
the Congressional enactment of the work opportunity tax credit and an
increase in the Federal FICA tax credits for tipped wages.

NET INCOME AND NET INCOME PER SHARE
Operating results before restructuring related items (gain on sales of
concepts and restructuring charge in fiscal 1996) for the second quarter and
year-to-date are summarized as follows (in millions, except per share
amounts):

------ ------ ------ ------
------ ------ ------ ------
Net income before restructuring related items for the second quarter and
year-to-date declined 9.9% and 1.7%, respectively, compared to fiscal 1996.
Primary net income per share before restructuring related items for the
second quarter and year-to-date declined 11.8% and 5.4%, respectively. The
decrease in net income before restructuring related items in light of the
increase in revenues was due to the increases in costs and expenses mentioned
above.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The Company has not experienced a significant overall impact from inflation.
As operating expenses increase, the Company, to the extent permitted by
competition, recovers increased costs by raising menu prices.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The working capital deficit increased from $50.0 million at June 26, 1996 to
$114.1 million at December 25, 1996, due primarily to the Company's capital
expenditures as discussed below. Net cash provided by operating activities
increased to $53.3 million for the first half of fiscal 1997 from $49.5
million during the same period in fiscal 1996 due to timing of operational
receipts and payments.
Long-term debt outstanding at December 25, 1996 consisted of $100 million of
unsecured senior notes and obligations under capital leases. At December 25,
1996, the Company had $209.9 million in available funds from credit
facilities.
Capital expenditures were $104.9 million for the first half of fiscal 1997 as
compared to $100.3 million in the first half of fiscal 1996. Capital
expenditures consist of purchases of land for future restaurant sites, new
restaurants under construction, purchases of new and replacement restaurant
furniture and equipment, and the ongoing remodeling program. The Company
estimates that its capital expenditures during the third quarter will
approximate $68 million. These capital expenditures will be funded from
internal operations, cash equivalents, income earned from investments,
build-to-suit lease agreements with landlords, proceeds from the sales of
restaurants closed in conjunction with the strategic plan approved in fiscal
1996, and drawdowns on the Company's available lines of credit.
10
<PAGE>
On January 23, 1997, the Board of Directors approved a plan to repurchase up
to $150 million of the Company's common stock. Repurchases will be made from
time to time in open market transactions. All repurchases will be made in
accordance with applicable securities regulations, and the timing of the
repurchases will be dependent upon market conditions, share price, and other
factors. The repurchased common stock may be used by the Company to satisfy
obligations under its savings plans, to meet the needs of its various stock
option plans, or for other corporate purposes. The Company intends to
finance the repurchase program through the combination of cash provided by
operations, the liquidation of its marketable securities portfolio, and the
disposition of a portion of its real estate portfolio pursuant to
sale-leaseback transactions.
The Company is not aware of any other event or trend which would potentially
affect its liquidity. In the event such a trend would develop, the Company
believes that there are sufficient funds available to it under the lines of
credit and strong internal cash generating capabilities to adequately manage
the expansion of business.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Subsequent to December 25, 1996, the Company announced that it is
implementing a realignment of its management structure to more directly
support its various restaurant concepts. This realignment will include
upgrading certain strategic functions and decentralizing certain functions
that are more efficiently done at the concept level. In conjunction with the
realignment certain positions were eliminated at the corporate offices.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Company wishes to caution readers that various factors could cause the
actual results of the Company to differ materially from those indicated by
forward-looking statements made from time to time in news releases, reports,
proxy statements, registration statements and other written communications
(including the preceding sections of this Management's Discussion and
