Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2014.

Reclassifications - The Company reclassified certain items in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for prior periods to be comparable with the classification for the current period. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted - In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”)  issued  Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)  No. 2015-03: “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU No. 2015-03”). ASU No. 2015-03 will require debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. The update requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. ASU No. 2015-03 will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2016, with early adoption permitted.  The Company does not expect ASU No. 2015-03 to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15: “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU No. 2014-15”). ASU No. 2014-15 will explicitly require management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The new standard is applicable for all entities and will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2016. The Company does not expect ASU No. 2014-15 to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue Recognition (Topic 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU No. 2014-09”). ASU No. 2014-09 provides a single source of guidance for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition standards. Under ASU No. 2014-09, revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration an entity expects to receive for the transfer of goods and services. ASU No. 2014-09 will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2017 and is applied retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment at the date of adoption. The Company has not selected a transition method and is evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Recent accounting guidance not discussed above is not applicable, did not have, or is not expected to have a material impact to the Company.

As of March 29, 2015, 35 of the 36 locations had been closed. In connection with the International Restaurant Closure Initiative, the Company incurred pre-tax restaurant and other closing costs of $6.4 million during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015, which were recorded within the International segment.

The Company expects to incur additional charges of approximately $1.0 million to $2.0 million, including costs associated with lease obligations, employee terminations and other closure related obligations, through the third quarter of 2015. Future cash expenditures of $7.0 million to $10.0 million, primarily related to lease liabilities, are expected to occur through August 2022.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company completed an assessment of its domestic restaurant base and decided to close 22 underperforming domestic locations (the “Domestic Restaurant Closure Initiative”).

Roy’s - On January 26, 2015, the Company sold its Roy’s business to United Ohana, LLC (the “Buyer”), for a purchase price of $10.0 million, less certain liabilities, and recorded a loss on sale of $1.1 million, which was recorded in Other expense, net, during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015. Included in the sale agreement is a provision in which the Company will pay the buyer up to $5.0 million, if certain lease contingencies are not resolved prior to April 2018 and the Buyer is damaged. At the time of this report, the Company believes it is probable there are no liabilities to recognize as the lease contingencies are expected to be resolved pursuant to the sale agreement.

In connection with the sale of Roy’s, the Company continues to provide lease guarantees for certain of the Roy’s locations. Under the guarantees, the Company will pay the rental expense over the remaining lease term in the event of default. The fair value and maximum value of the lease guarantees is nominal. The maximum amount is calculated as the fair value of the lease payments over the remaining lease term and assumes that there are subleases.

Pursuant to the underwriting agreement for the secondary public offering, the Company repurchased from the underwriters 2,759,164 of the shares sold by Bain Capital at a cost of $70.0 million.

Share Repurchases - In December 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock. The authorization will expire on June 12, 2016. As of March 29, 2015, $70.0 million of outstanding stock had been repurchased under the program as discussed above.

Shares repurchased are retired. The par value of the repurchased shares is deducted from common stock and the excess of the purchase price over the par value of the shares is recorded to Accumulated deficit.

10.    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities 

The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps.
DESIGNATED HEDGES
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk -On September 9, 2014, the Company entered into variable-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements with eight counterparties to hedge a portion of the cash flows of the Company’s variable rate debt. The swap agreements have an aggregate notional amount of $400.0 million, a forward start date of June 30, 2015, and mature on May 16, 2019. Under the terms of the swap agreements, the Company will pay a weighted-average fixed rate of 2.02% on the $400.0 million notional amount and receive payments from the counterparty based on the 30-day LIBOR rate.

The interest rate swaps, which have been designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, are recognized on the Company ’ s Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and are classified based on the instruments’ maturity dates. Fair value changes in the interest rate swaps are recognized in AOCL for all effective portions. Balances in AOCL are subsequently

reclassified to earnings in the same period that the hedged interest payments affect earnings. The Company estimates $4.8 million will be reclassified to interest expense over the next twelve months.

The following table presents the fair value and classification of the Company’s interest rate swaps:

 	 	$	3,924	
 	 	 	
____________________
 	 	
(1)	See Note 11 - Fair Value Measurements for fair value discussion of the interest rate swaps.	

As of March 29, 2015, no interest expense related to the interest rate swaps is accrued in the Consolidated Balance Sheets or recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income as the interest rate swaps do not commence until June 30, 2015. During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015, the Company did not recognize any gain or loss as a result of hedge ineffectiveness.

The following table summarizes the effects of the interest rate swap on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015:

(dollars in thousands)	AMOUNT OF (LOSS) GAIN RECOGNIZED IN OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME	
Interest rate swaps	$	(6,578	)	
Income tax benefit	2,566	
 	
Net of income taxes	$	(4,012	)	
The Company records its derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross balance basis. The Company’s derivatives are subject to master netting arrangements. As of March 29, 2015, the Company did not have more than one derivative between the same counterparties and as such, there was no netting.

By utilizing the interest rate swaps, the Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event that the counterparty fails to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. To mitigate this risk, the Company enters into derivative contracts with major financial institutions based upon credit ratings and other factors. The Company continually assesses the creditworthiness of its counterparties. As of March 29, 2015, all counterparties to the interest rate swaps had performed in accordance with their contractual obligations.

As of March 29, 2015, the fair value of the Company’s derivatives in a net liability position, excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk, was $10.7 million. As of March 29, 2015, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions as of March 29, 2015, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $10.7 million.

11.    Fair Value Measurements 

Fair value is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, or the exit price, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value is categorized into one of following three levels based on the lowest level of significant input:

Level 1	 	Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities	
Level 2	 	Observable inputs available at measurement date other than quoted prices included in Level 1	
Level 3	 	Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data

Fair value of each class of financial instrument is determined based on the following:

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT	 	METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS	
Fixed income funds and
Money market funds	 	Carrying value approximates fair value because maturities are less than three months.	
Derivative instruments	 	Derivative instruments primarily relate to the interest rate swaps. Fair value measurements are based on a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and credit spreads. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. As of March 29, 2015, the Company has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives.	

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis - Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to property, fixtures and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, which are remeasured when carrying value exceeds fair value. The following table summarizes the Company’s assets measured at fair value by hierarchy level on a nonrecurring basis for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015:

Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company’s non-derivative financial instruments as of March 29, 2015 and December 28, 2014 consist of cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and current and long-term debt. The fair values of cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets due to their short duration.

Debt is carried at amortized cost; however, the Company estimates the fair value of debt for disclosure purposes. The following table includes the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s debt by hierarchy level as of March 29, 2015 and December 28, 2014:

12.    Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 was 25.5% compared to 24.8% for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014. This increase in the effective income tax rate was due to a change in the blend of taxable income across the Company’s U.S. and international subsidiaries.

13.    Commitments and Contingencies 

Litigation and Other Matters - The matter set forth below is subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with certainty. The Company is unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss for the matter described below as the proceedings are at stages where significant uncertainty exists as to the legal or factual issues. The Company provides disclosure of matters when management believes it is reasonably possible the impact may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

On October 4, 2013, two then-current employees (the “Nevada Plaintiffs”) filed a purported collective action lawsuit against the Company, OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC (“OSI”), and two of its subsidiaries in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada (Cardoza, et al. v. Bloomin’ Brands, Inc., et al., Case No.: 2:13-cv-01820-JAD-NJK). The complaint alleges violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act by requiring employees to work off the clock, complete on-line training without pay, and attend meetings in the restaurant without pay. The suit seeks to certify a nationwide

19

Table of Contents
BLOOMIN’ BRANDS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) - Continued

collective action that all hourly employees in all Outback Steakhouse restaurants would be permitted to join. The suit seeks an unspecified amount in back pay for the employees that join the lawsuit, an equal amount in liquidated damages, costs, expenses, and attorney’s fees. The Nevada Plaintiffs also filed a companion lawsuit in Nevada state court alleging that the Company violated the state break time rules. On October 27, 2014 the Court conditionally certified a class for notice purposes consisting of all employees that worked at a company-owned Outback Steakhouse between October 27, 2011 and October 27, 2014. The Company subsequently filed a Motion to Reconsider the October 27, 2014 order. On February 5, 2015, the Court denied the Company’s Motion to reconsider the October 27, 2014 order granting conditional certification. The Company believes these lawsuits are without merit, and is vigorously defending all allegations.

In addition, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and liabilities, such as liquor liability, sexual harassment and slip and fall cases, which arise in the ordinary course of business and are generally covered by insurance if they exceed specified retention or deductible amounts. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to those actions will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations and cash flows.

14.    Segment Reporting

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company recast its segment reporting to reflect two reporting segments, U.S. and International, which matches changes made in how the Company manages its business, reviews operating performance and allocates resources. The U.S. segment includes all brands operating in the U.S. while brands operating outside the U.S. are included in the International segment. All prior period information was recast to reflect this change.

The Company’s reporting segments are organized based on restaurant concept and geographic location. Resources are allocated and performance is assessed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), whom the Company has determined to be its Chief Operating Decision Maker. The Company has two reporting segments: U.S. and International. Following is a summary of reporting segments:

SEGMENT	 	CONCEPT	 	GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION	 	
U.S.	 	Outback Steakhouse	 	United States of America, including Puerto Rico	 	
 	 	Carrabba’s Italian Grill	 	 	 	 	
 	 	Bonefish Grill	 	 	 	 	 	
 	 	Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar	 	 	 	 	 	 	
International	 	Outback Steakhouse (1)	 	South Korea, Brazil, Hong Kong, China	 	 	 	 	
 	 	Carrabba’s Italian Grill (Abbraccio)	 	Brazil	 	 	 	 	
________________
 	 	
(1)	Includes international franchise locations in 18 countries and Guam.	

Segment accounting policies are the same as those described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2014. Revenues for all segments include only transactions with customers and include no intersegment revenues. Excluded from net income from operations for U.S. and International are legal and certain corporate costs not directly related to the performance of the segments, interest and other expenses related to the Company’s credit agreements and derivative instruments, certain stock-based compensation expenses, certain insurance expenses managed centrally and certain bonus expense.

15.    Subsequent Events 

On March 31, 2015, OSI entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to OSI’s existing credit agreement (as previously amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement”) to effect an increase of OSI’s revolving credit facility from $600.0 million to $825.0 million in order to fully pay down its existing Term Loan B on April 2, 2015 (the “Prepayment”). No other material changes were made to the terms of OSI’s Existing Credit Agreement as a result of the Amendment.
Prior to the Prepayment, the Company had an outstanding balance of $215.0 million on its Term Loan B. In connection with the Amendment, the Company made a $216.3 million draw on the revolving credit facility to prepay its Term Loan B and to pay related accrued interest, fees and expenses. Following the Prepayment and Amendment, the Company will recognize a loss on extinguishment and modification of debt of approximately $2.6 million, which will be recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income in the thirteen weeks ending June 28, 2015.

Cautionary Statement

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”) includes statements that express our opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “feels,” “seeks,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could” or “would” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this Report and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the industry in which we operate.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Although we base these forward-looking statements on assumptions that we believe are reasonable when made, we caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and industry developments may differ materially from statements made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Report. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and industry developments are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from statements made or suggested by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
 	 	
(i)	Economic conditions and their effects on consumer confidence and discretionary spending, consumer traffic, the cost and availability of credit and interest rates;	

(ii)	Our ability to compete in the highly competitive restaurant industry with many well-established competitors and new market entrants;	

(iii)	Our ability to preserve and grow the reputation and value of our brands;	

(iv)	Our ability to acquire attractive sites on acceptable terms, obtain required permits and approvals, recruit and train necessary personnel and obtain adequate financing in order to develop new restaurants as planned, and difficulties in estimating the performance of newly opened restaurants;	

(v)	The effects of international economic, political, social and legal conditions on our foreign operations and on foreign currency exchange rates;	

(vi)	Our ability to effectively respond to changes in patterns of consumer traffic, consumer tastes and dietary habits;

(vii)	Seasonal and periodic fluctuations in our results and the effects of significant adverse weather conditions and other disasters or unforeseen events;	

(viii)	Our ability to comply with governmental laws and regulations, the costs of compliance with such laws and regulations and the effects of changes to applicable laws and regulations;	

(ix)	Minimum wage increases and additional mandated employee benefits;	

(x)	Fluctuations in the price and availability of commodities;	

(xi)	Consumer reactions to public health and food safety issues;	

(xii)	Our ability to protect our information technology systems from interruption or security breach and to protect consumer data and personal employee information; and	

(xiii)	The effects of our substantial leverage and restrictive covenants in our various credit facilities on our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, to make capital expenditures to invest in new or renovate restaurants and to react to changes in the economy or our industry, and our exposure to interest rate risk in connection with our variable-rate debt.	

In light of these risks and uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement that we make in this Report speaks only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or to publicly announce the results of any revision to any of those statements to reflect future events or developments.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

Overview

We are one of the largest casual dining restaurant companies in the world with a portfolio of leading, differentiated restaurant concepts. As of March 29, 2015, we owned and operated 1,312 restaurants and franchised 169 restaurants across 48 states, Puerto Rico, Guam and 22 countries. We have four founder-inspired concepts: Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar.
The casual dining restaurant industry is a highly competitive and fragmented industry and is sensitive to changes in the economy, trends in lifestyles, seasonality and fluctuating costs. Operating margins for restaurants can vary due to competitive pricing strategies, labor costs and fluctuations in prices of commodities and other necessities to operate a restaurant, such as natural gas or other energy supplies. Restaurant companies tend to be focused on increasing market share, comparable restaurant sales growth and new unit growth. Our industry is characterized by high initial capital investment, coupled with high labor costs. As a result, we focus on driving increased sales at existing restaurants in order to raise margins and profits, because the incremental contribution to profits from every additional dollar of sales above the minimum costs required to open, staff and operate a restaurant is relatively high. Historically, we have focused on restaurant growth with strong unit level economics.

Executive Summary

Our financial results for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 (“first quarter 2015”) include the following:
 	 	
•	An increase in total revenues of 3.8% to $1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2015, as compared to the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to the growth of blended U.S. comparable restaurant sales of 3.6%.	

•	Income from operations of $97.7 million in first quarter of 2015 as compared to $90.0 million in the first quarter of 2014, which was primarily due to an increase in operating margin at the restaurant-level and lower general and administrative expense, partially offset by higher restaurant closing costs from our International Restaurant Closure Initiative.	

Following is a summary of significant actions we have taken and other factors that impacted our operating results and liquidity to date in 2015:

Dividend and Share Repurchase Programs - On February 12, 2015, the Board of Directors declared our first quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share. In the first quarter of 2015, we repurchased $70.0 million of our common stock held by Bain Capital, as part of the secondary public offering, under a repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors. The remaining $30.0 million authorization will expire on June 12, 2016.

Roy’s - In January 2015, we sold our Roy’s business and recognized a loss on sale of $1.1 million.

Key Performance Indicators

Key measures that we use in evaluating our restaurants and assessing our business include the following:
 	 	
•	Average restaurant unit volumes—average sales per restaurant to measure changes in customer traffic, pricing and development of the brand;	

•	Comparable restaurant sales—year-over-year comparison of sales volumes for Company-owned restaurants that are open 18 months or more in order to remove the impact of new restaurant openings in comparing the operations of existing restaurants;	

24

Table of Contents
BLOOMIN’ BRANDS, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
 	 	
•	System-wide sales—total restaurant sales volume for all Company-owned and franchise restaurants and, in historical periods, unconsolidated joint venture restaurants, regardless of ownership, to interpret the overall health of our brands;	

•	Adjusted restaurant-level operating margin, Adjusted income from operations, Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted earnings per share —non-GAAP financial measures utilized to evaluate our operating performance, and for which definitions, usefulness and reconciliations are described in more detail in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below; and	

•	Customer satisfaction scores—measurement of our customers’ experiences in a variety of key attributes.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

The increase in Restaurant sales in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 was primarily attributable to: (i) the opening of 86 new restaurants not included in our comparable restaurant sales base, (ii) an increase in comparable restaurant sales at our existing restaurants and (iii) two additional operating days during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 due to a change in our fiscal year-end in 2014. The increase in restaurant sales was partially offset by: (i) the closing of 73 restaurants since December 31, 2013, (iii) the sale of 20 Roy’s restaurants and (iii) the effect of foreign currency translation, primarily due to the depreciation of the Brazilian Real.

(1)	Comparable restaurant sales exclude the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency rates. Relocated international restaurants closed more than 30 days and relocated U.S. restaurants closed more than 60 days are excluded from comparable restaurant sales until at least 18 months after reopening.	
 	 	
(2)	Due to our conversion to a 52-53 week fiscal year in 2014, there were two more days in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014. These additional days increased total revenues by $24.3 million and have been excluded from our comparable restaurant sales calculation.	
 	 	
(3)	The stated menu price changes exclude the impact of product mix shifts to new menu offerings.	

Our comparable restaurant sales represent the growth from restaurants opened 18 months or more. For the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015, combined U.S. comparable restaurant sales increased due to increases in general menu prices, product mix and traffic. Customer traffic increases were driven primarily by lunch expansion, remodels and promotions.

These decreases were partially offset by increases as a percentage of Restaurant sales due to: (i) 1.3% higher commodity costs, primarily beef and seafood, and (ii) 0.1% from product mix.

Labor and other related expenses include all direct and indirect labor costs incurred in operations, including distribution expense to managing partners, costs related to deferred compensation plans and other incentive compensation expenses. Labor and other related expenses was flat as a percentage of Restaurant sales in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014. Decreases as a percentage of Restaurant sales were primarily attributable to the following: (i) 0.7% higher U.S. average unit volumes and (ii) 0.4% from the impact of certain cost savings initiatives. These decreases were offset by increases as a percentage of Restaurant sales primarily attributable to: (i) 0.8% of higher kitchen and service labor costs due to higher wage rates and lunch expansion across certain concepts, (ii) 0.2% due to higher health insurance and workers’ compensation expense and (iii) 0.1% of higher field management bonuses based on individual restaurant performance.

Other restaurant operating expenses include certain unit-level operating costs such as operating supplies, rent, repairs and maintenance, advertising expenses, utilities, pre-opening costs and other occupancy costs. The decrease as a percentage of Restaurant sales in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014 was primarily due to: (i) 0.7% higher U.S. average unit volumes, (ii) 0.4% decrease in marketing due to timing of expense and lower television advertising and (iii) 0.2% from the impact of certain cost savings initiatives. The decreases were partially offset by increases as a percentage of Restaurant sales primarily due to: (i) 0.3% due to higher restaurant occupancy costs related to rent escalations from existing leases and the write-off of deferred rent liabilities, (ii) 0.2% increase in operating supplies primarily due to new menu items, (iii) 0.2% from the timing of repairs and maintenance, (iv) 0.2% increase in general liability insurance expense and (v) 0.1% of lunch rollout expense.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased as a percentage of Total revenues in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014. The decrease as a percentage of Total revenues was primarily due to less depreciation for certain information technology assets that fully depreciated in the fourth quarter of 2014 and lower depreciation for South Korea assets due to impairments related to the International Restaurant Closure Initiative. These decreases were partially offset by increases as a percentage of Total revenues primarily due to additional depreciation expense related to the opening of new restaurants and the remodel of existing restaurants.

General and administrative

General and administrative expense includes salaries and benefits, management incentive programs, related payroll tax and benefits, other employee-related costs and professional services. Following is a summary of the changes in general and administrative expenses:

 	THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED	
(dollars in millions)	MARCH 29, 2015	
For the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014	$	74.1

Employee stock-based compensation	1.0	
 	
Other	0.4	
 	
For thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015	$	73.2	

During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015, general and administrative expense decreased primarily from the following items:
 	 	
•	Employee compensation, benefits and payroll tax was lower primarily due to our organizational realignment in the second half of fiscal 2014; and	
 	 	
•	Employee stock-based compensation increased due to additional grants.	
 
Provision for impaired assets and restaurant closings

Provision for impaired assets and restaurant closings	$	9.1	
 	 	$	6.1	
 	 	$	3.0	

In fiscal 2014, we decided to close 36 underperforming international locations, primarily in South Korea. In connection with the International Restaurant Closure Initiative, we incurred pre-tax restaurant closing costs of approximately $6.4 million during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015. As a result of the International Restaurant Closure Initiative, we expect to incur additional pre-tax restaurant closing costs of approximately $1.0 million to $2.0 million, including costs associated with lease obligations and employee terminations, through the third quarter of 2015.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, we completed an assessment of our domestic restaurant base and decided to close 22 underperforming domestic locations. Approximately $1.3 million and $4.9 million of pre-tax restaurant closing costs were incurred during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, respectively, in connection with the Domestic Restaurant Closure Initiative.

Restaurant impairment charges resulted from the carrying value of a restaurant’s assets exceeding its estimated fair market value, primarily due to locations identified for relocation.

The increase in income from operations generated in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014 was primarily due to an increase in operating margin at the restaurant-level and lower general and administrative expense, partially offset by higher restaurant closing costs from our International Restaurant Closure Initiative.

 	 	$	(3.4	)	

The decrease in net interest expense in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014 was primarily attributable to the refinancing of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in May 2014 and the repayment of long-term debt during fiscal year 2014.

The increase in the effective income tax rate was due to a change in the blend of taxable income across our U.S. and international subsidiaries.

SEGMENT PERFORMANCE

During the first quarter of 2015, we recast our segment reporting to reflect two reporting segments, U.S. and International, which matches changes made in how we manage our business, review operating performance and allocate resources. Our U.S. segment includes all brands operating in the U.S. while brands operating outside the U.S. are included in the International segment. All prior period information was recast to reflect this change.

Our reporting segments are organized based on restaurant concept and geographic location. Resources are allocated and performance is assessed by our CEO, whom we have determined to be our Chief Operating Decision Maker. We have two reporting segments: U.S. and International. Following is a summary of reporting segments:

Restaurant sales

Following is a summary of the change in U.S. segment restaurant sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015:

(dollars in millions)	THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED	
For the period ended March 30, 2014	$	1,004.9	
 	
Change from:	 	
Comparable restaurant sales	33.8	
 	
Change in fiscal year	22.8	
 	
Restaurant openings	17.0	
 	
Divestiture of Roy's	(13.6	)	
Restaurant closings	(8.8	)	
For the period ended March 29, 2015	$	1,056.1	

The increase in U.S. Restaurant sales in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 was primarily attributable to: (i) an increase in comparable restaurant sales at our existing restaurants, (ii) two additional operating days during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 due to a change in our fiscal year-end in 2014 and (iii) the opening of 52 new restaurants not included in our comparable restaurant sales base. The increase in U.S. Restaurant sales was partially offset by the sale of 20 Roy’s restaurants in January 2015 and the closing of 25 restaurants since December 31, 2013.

Restaurant-level operating margin

The increase in U.S. restaurant-level operating margin in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015, was primarily due to higher average unit volumes and the impact of certain cost saving initiatives. This increase was partially offset by commodity and labor inflation.

Income from operations

The increase in U.S. income from operations generated in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014 was primarily due to higher restaurant-level operating margin and a decrease in restaurant closing costs related to the Domestic Restaurant Closure Initiative and lower General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense for the U.S. segment decreased primarily due to: (i) lower compensation and benefits driven by our organizational realignment in the second half of fiscal 2014, (ii) higher severance in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014 due to the Domestic Restaurant Closure Initiative and (iii) lower professional fees. The decrease in General and administrative expense was partially offset by higher employee stock-based compensation due to new grants.

Restaurant sales

Following is a summary of the changes in International segment restaurant sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015:

(dollars in millions)	THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED	
For the period ended March 30, 2014	$	145.7

Comparable restaurant sales	3.4	
 	
Change in fiscal year	1.5	
 	
For the period ended March 29, 2015	$	138.7	

The decrease in Restaurant sales in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 was primarily attributable to: (i) the closing of 48 restaurants since December 31, 2013, (ii) the effect of foreign currency translation of the Brazil Real relative to the U.S. dollar and (iii) lower comparable restaurant sales in South Korea. The decrease in restaurant sales was partially offset by: (i) the opening of 34 new restaurants not included in our comparable restaurant sales base, (ii) an increase in comparable restaurant sales in Brazil and (iii) two additional operating days during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 due to a change in our fiscal year-end in 2014.

Restaurant-level operating margin

The increase in International restaurant-level operating margin in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014 was primarily due to the opening of new restaurants. This increase was partially offset by commodity and labor inflation.

Income from operations

The decrease in International income from operations in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014 was primarily due to restaurant closing costs and higher general and administrative expense related to the International Restaurant Closure Initiative, partially offset by higher restaurant-level operating margin.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we provide non-GAAP measures which present operating results on an adjusted basis. These are supplemental measures of performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the following: (i) system-wide sales, (ii) Adjusted restaurant-level operating margins, (iii) Adjusted income from operations and the corresponding margins, (iv) Adjusted net income and (v) Adjusted diluted earnings per share.

Although we believe these non-GAAP measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace accompanying U.S. GAAP financial measures. These metrics are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

System-Wide Sales

System-wide sales is a non-GAAP financial measure that includes sales of all restaurants operating under our brand names, whether we own them or not. Management uses this information to make decisions about future plans for the development of additional restaurants and new concepts, as well as evaluation of current operations. System-wide sales comprise sales of Company-owned and franchised restaurants. Following is a summary of sales of Company-owned restaurants:

Other Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following information provides a reconciliation of a non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The use of other non-GAAP financial measures permits investors to assess the operating performance of our business relative to our performance based on U.S. GAAP results and relative to other companies within the restaurant industry by isolating the effects of certain items that vary from period to period without correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. However, 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 or that the items for which we have made adjustments are unusual or infrequent. We believe that the disclosure of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors as they form the basis for how our management team and Board of Directors evaluate our operating performance, allocate resources and establish employee incentive plans.

Adjusted restaurant-level operating margin

Restaurant-level operating margin is calculated as Restaurant sales after deduction of the main restaurant-level operating costs, which includes Cost of sales, Labor and other related and Other restaurant operating. The following table shows the percentages of certain operating cost financial statement line items in relation to Restaurant sales:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

LIQUIDITY

Our liquidity sources consist of cash flow from our operations, cash and cash equivalents and credit capacity under our credit facilities. We expect to use cash primarily for general operating expenses, principal and interest payments on our debt, the development of new restaurants and new markets, share repurchases and dividend payments, remodeling or relocating older restaurants, obligations related to our deferred compensation plans and investments in technology.

We believe that our expected liquidity sources are adequate to fund our anticipated cash usages, as described above, for the next 12 months. However, our ability to continue to meet these requirements and obligations will depend on,

37

BLOOMIN’ BRANDS, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

among other things, our ability to achieve anticipated levels of revenue and cash flow and our ability to manage costs and working capital successfully.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - As of March 29, 2015 and December 28, 2014, we had $135.6 million and $165.7 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents, of which $79.2 million and $89.7 million, respectively, was held by foreign affiliates, a portion of which would be subject to additional taxes if repatriated to the United States. We consider the undistributed earnings related to our foreign affiliates as of March 29, 2015 to be permanently reinvested and are expected to continue to be permanently reinvested. Accordingly, no provision for United States income and additional foreign taxes has been recorded on aggregate undistributed earnings of $154.0 million as of March 29, 2015. If we identify an exception to our reinvestment policy of undistributed earnings, additional tax liabilities will be recorded. The international jurisdictions in which we have significant cash do not have any known restrictions that would prohibit the repatriation of cash and cash equivalents.

During fiscal year 2014, we decided to close 36 underperforming international locations, primarily in South Korea. In connection with the International Restaurant Closure Initiative, we expect future cash expenditures of $7.0 million to $10.0 million, primarily related to lease liabilities, through August 2022. We believe our South Korea subsidiary has sufficient cash to meet these obligations and support ongoing operations.

Credit Facilities - Our credit facilities consist of the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the CMBS Loan.

(1)	Represents the weighted-average interest rate for the respective period.	
 	 	
(2)	Includes $6.0 million of borrowings on the swing line loan sub-facilities at an interest rate of 4.25%.	

As of March 29, 2015, we had $229.4 million in available unused borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, net of letters of credit of $29.6 million. On March 31, 2015, we amended our credit agreement to effect an increase of our existing revolving credit facility in order to fully pay down our existing Term Loan B on April 2, 2015. See Note 15 -  Subsequent Events  for details regarding this amendment.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains mandatory prepayment requirements for Term loan A and Term loan B. We are required to prepay outstanding amounts under our term loans with 50% of our annual excess cash flow, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. The amount of outstanding term loans required to be prepaid may vary based on our leverage ratio and year-end results. Other than the required minimum amortization premiums of $15.0 million, we do not anticipate any other payments will be required through March 27, 2016.

The 2012 CMBS Loan requires annual amortization payments ranging from approximately $10.5 million to $11.1 million, payable in scheduled monthly installments through March 2017, with the remaining balance due upon maturity in April 2017.

Our Amended Credit Agreement and 2012 CMBS Loan contain various financial and non-financial covenants. A violation of these covenants could negatively impact our liquidity by restricting our ability to borrow under the revolving credit facility and cause an acceleration of the amounts due under the credit facilities. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information about our debt covenants.

As of March 29, 2015 and December 28, 2014, we were in compliance with these debt covenants.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk -In September 2014, we entered into variable-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements with eight counterparties to hedge a portion of the cash flows of our variable rate debt. The swap agreements have an aggregate notional amount of $400.0 million, a forward start date of June 30, 2015, and mature on May 16, 2019. Under the terms of the swap agreements, we will pay a weighted-average fixed rate of 2.02% on the $400.0 million notional amount and receive payments from the counterparty based on the 30-day LIBOR rate. See Note 10 -  Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities  of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

SUMMARY OF CASH FLOWS

The following table presents a summary of our cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated:

 	THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED	
(dollars in thousands)	MARCH 29, 2015	 	MARCH 30, 2014	
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	95,962	
 	 	$	39,827

Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(30,096	)	 	$	(37,267	)	

Operating activities - Net cash provided by operating activities increased during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015, as compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014 primarily due to: (i) timing of collections of gift card receivables, (ii) lower income tax payments and (iii) lower cash interest payments. These increases were partially offset by: (i) timing of payments on accounts payable, (ii) increased purchases of inventory and (iii) an increase in the redemption of gift cards.

Net cash used in investing activities for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 consisted primarily of capital expenditures and net cash paid for life insurance policies partially offset by proceeds from the sale of Roy’s. Net cash used in investing activities for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014 consisted primarily of capital expenditures and net cash paid to acquire certain franchise restaurants.

Net cash used in financing activities	$	(85,764	)	 	$	(33,954	)	

Net cash used in financing activities for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 was primarily attributable to the following: (i) repayments of borrowings on revolving credit facilities and voluntary prepayments, (ii) the repurchase of common stock, (iii) payment of cash dividends on our common stock and (iv) repayments of partner deposits and accrued partner obligations. Net cash used in financing activities was partially offset by proceeds from revolving credit facilities and proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Net cash used in financing activities for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014 was primarily attributable to the following: (i) the purchase of outstanding limited partnership interests in certain restaurants, (ii) repayments of long-term debt and (iii) repayments of partner deposits and accrued partner obligations. This was partially offset by the receipt of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION

Following is a summary of our current assets, current liabilities and working capital:

 	MARCH 29,	 	DECEMBER 28,	
(dollars in thousands)	2015	 	2014	
Current assets	$	484,335	
 	 	$	600,551	
 	
Current liabilities	735,463	
 	 	840,110	
 	
Working capital (deficit)	$	(251,128	)	 	$	(239,559	)	

Working capital (deficit) totaled ($251.1) million and ($239.6) million as of March 29, 2015 and December 28, 2014, respectively, and included Unearned revenue from unredeemed gift cards of $272.1 million and $376.7 million as of March 29, 2015 and December 28, 2014, respectively. We have, and in the future may continue to have, negative working capital balances (as is common for many restaurant companies). We operate successfully with negative working capital because cash collected on restaurant sales is typically received before payment is due on our current liabilities, and our inventory turnover rates require relatively low investment in inventories. Additionally, ongoing cash flows from restaurant operations and gift card sales are used to service debt obligations and to make capital expenditures.

Deferred Compensation Programs

The deferred compensation obligation due managing and chef partners was $155.3 million and $155.6 million at March 29, 2015 and December 28, 2014, respectively. We invest in various corporate-owned life insurance policies, which are held within an irrevocable grantor or “rabbi” trust account for settlement of our obligations under the deferred

41

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

compensation plans. The rabbi trust is funded through our voluntary contributions. The unfunded obligation for managing and chef partners’ deferred compensation is $80.0 million at March 29, 2015.

We use capital to fund the deferred compensation plans and currently expect annual cash funding of $18.0 million to $22.0 million. Actual funding of the deferred compensation obligations and future funding requirements may vary significantly depending on the actual performance compared to targets, timing of deferred payments of partner contracts, forfeiture rates, number of partner participants, growth of partner investments and our funding strategy.

DIVIDENDS AND SHARE REPURCHASES

In December 2014, the Board of Directors adopted a dividend policy under which it intends to declare quarterly cash dividends on shares of our common stock. On February 12, 2015, the Board of Directors declared our first quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share, which was paid on March 18, 2015. On April 29, 2015, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share, payable on May 27, 2015 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 15, 2015. Future dividend payments are dependent on our earnings, financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and other factors that our Board of Directors considers relevant.

In December 2014, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we were authorized to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The authorization will expire on June 12, 2016. As of March 29, 2015, $70.0 million of outstanding stock had been repurchased under the program in connection with the secondary public offering by Bain Capital.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in commodity prices. We believe that there have been no material changes in our market risk since December 28, 2014, except as set forth below. For further information on market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A., “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2014 (the “2014 Form 10-K”).

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We are subject to foreign currency exchange risk for our restaurants operating in foreign countries. Our exposures to foreign currency exchange risk are primarily related to fluctuations in the Brazil Real and the South Korea Won relative to the U.S. dollar. Our operations in other markets consist of Company-owned restaurants on a smaller scale than the markets identified above and franchised locations, from which we collect royalties in local currency. If foreign currency exchange rates depreciate in the countries in which we operate, we may experience declines in our operating results. For the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015, a 10% change in average foreign currency rates against the U.S. dollar would have increased or decreased our Total revenues and Net income for our consolidated foreign entities by $15.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Currently, we do not enter into currency forward exchange or option contracts to hedge foreign currency exposures.

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 Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Administrative Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Administrative Officer, of the effectiveness 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 and Administrative Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 29, 2015.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 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

For a description of our legal proceedings, see Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information discussed in this report, please consider the factors described in Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors” in our 2014 Form 10-K which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. There have not been any material changes to the risk factors described in our 2014 Form 10-K, but these are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings provided such terms in the Credit Agreement referred to below.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Borrower, Holdings, the lenders party thereto, the Administrative Agent (as successor administrative agent to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas) and the other parties thereto have entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of October 26, 2012 (as amended prior to the date hereof, the “ Credit Agreement ”);
WHEREAS, the Borrower hereby requests a Revolving Commitment Increase in an aggregate principal amount of $225,000,000, in accordance with  Section 2.16(a)  of the Credit Agreement (the “ Revolving Commitment Increase ”);
WHEREAS, $216,300,000 of the Revolving Commitment Increase are anticipated to be used by the Borrower to repay $215,000,000 of the outstanding Term B Loans and to pay fees and expenses in connection with this Fourth Amendment;
WHEREAS, subject to the terms of this Amendment, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders party hereto (each an “ Incremental Revolving Credit Lender ”) is severally willing to provide a portion of the Revolving Commitment Increase;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is agreed as follows:
SECTION 1.    Amendments to Credit Agreement. Effective as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in reliance upon representations and warranties set forth herein, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a)the definition of “Fourth Amendment Effective Date” is hereby added to Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement in appropriate alphabetical order to read in its entirety as follows:
“Fourth Amendment Effective Date” means March 31, 2015.
(b)the definition of “Revolving Credit Commitment” is hereby amended by replacing the last sentence of such definition with the following sentence:
“The aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of all Revolving Credit Lenders on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date shall be $825,000,000, as such amount may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.”

(c)Section 3.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new clause (j) at the end of such Section:
“For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loans as not qualifying as a ‘grandfathered obligation’ within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i) solely for purposes of determining whether withholding taxes apply under FATCA and regardless of whether the Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement and Incremental Agreement dated as of March 31, 2015 constitutes a ‘significant modification’ under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3.”
(d)Schedule 2.01 to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the column entitled “Revolving Credit Commitment” in its entirety as set forth on the Schedule attached hereto.
SECTION 2.    Revolving Commitment Increase.

(a)The Administrative Agent and each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees that this Amendment constitutes an Incremental Loan Request pursuant to  Section 2.16(a)  of the Credit Agreement.

(b)Each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender agrees that, effective as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, its respective Revolving Credit Commitment shall be increased by its share of the Revolving Commitment Increase as set forth on  Schedule 2.01  hereto.

(c)On and as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to be a “Incremental Revolving Credit Lender” as defined in the Credit Agreement with a “Revolving Credit Commitment” as defined in the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 3.    Acknowledgement and Confirmation. Each of the Loan Parties party hereto hereby agrees that with respect to each Loan Document to which it is a party, after giving effect to the Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereunder:
(a)all of its obligations, liabilities and indebtedness under such Loan Document, including guarantee obligations, shall, except as expressly set forth herein or in the Credit Agreement, remain in full force and effect on a continuous basis; and
(b)all of the Liens and security interests created and arising under such Loan Document remain in full force and effect on a continuous basis, and the perfected status and priority to the extent provided for in  Section 5.19  of the Credit Agreement of each such Lien and security interest continues in full force and effect on a continuous basis, unimpaired, uninterrupted and undischarged as collateral security for the Obligations, to the extent provided in such Loan Documents.

(d)The representations and warranties in Section 7 of this Amendment shall be true and correct as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.
For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in this Section 4, each Lender that has signed this Amendment shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Fourth Amendment Effective Date specifying its objection thereto.
SECTION 5.    Costs and Expenses. The Borrower hereby reconfirms its obligations pursuant to Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement to pay and reimburse the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms thereof.

SECTION 6.    Remedies. This Amendment shall (a) be deemed to be an “Incremental Amendment” in accordance with  Section 2.16(a)  of the Credit Agreement and (b) constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 7.    Representations and Warranties. To induce the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders to enter into this Amendment, each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders on and as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date that, in each case:
(a)the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in Article V of the Credit Agreement and in each other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date;  provided  that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct (after giving effect to any qualification therein) in all respects on such respective dates; and
(b)no Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing.
SECTION 8.    Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(a)On and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereto”, “hereof” and “hereunder” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the Notes and each of the other Loan Documents to “the Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.
(b)The Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, as specifically amended by this Amendment, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.
(c)The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Documents in effect immediately prior to the date hereof and all of the Collateral described therein in existence immediately prior to the date hereof do and shall continue to secure the payment of all Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, in each case, as amended by this Amendment.
SECTION 9.    Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 10.    Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
