PART I
General
P.F. Changs China Bistro, Inc. (P.F.
Changs or the Company) was incorporated
in January 1996 as a Delaware corporation. We conducted our
initial public offering in December 1998. We incorporated our
subsidiary, Pei Wei Asian Diner, Inc., in December 1999 as a
Delaware corporation. We report our financial and descriptive
information according to two reportable operating segments: P.F.
Changs China Bistro (Bistro) and Pei Wei Asian
Diner (Pei Wei) (see Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements Note 19 Segment
Reporting). Additionally, we have extended our brand to
international markets and retail products, with both businesses
operating under licensing agreements.
As of January 2, 2011, we owned and operated 201 full
service Bistro restaurants that feature a blend of high quality,
Chinese-inspired cuisine and attentive service in a high energy
contemporary bistro setting. Our restaurants offer intensely
flavored, highly memorable culinary creations, prepared from
fresh ingredients, including premium herbs and spices imported
directly from China. The menu features traditional Chinese
offerings and innovative dishes that illustrate the emerging
influence of Southeast Asia on modern Chinese cuisine. A full
service bar offering an extensive selection of wines, specialty
drinks, Asian beers, sake, cappuccino and espresso complements
the menu at the Bistro. We offer superior customer service in a
high energy atmosphere and a decor that includes wood and slate
floors, life-size replicas of the terra cotta Xian
warriors and narrative murals depicting scenes of life in
ancient China.
As of January 2, 2011, we also owned and operated 168 quick
casual Pei Wei restaurants that offer a menu of fresh,
high-quality Asian cuisine and provide a comfortable, quick and
casual dine-in experience as well as the flexibility, speed and
convenience of take-away service. Pei Wei offers the same spirit
of hospitality and commitment to providing fresh, high-quality
Asian food at a great value that has made our Bistro restaurants
successful.
As of January 2, 2011, seven international Bistro
restaurants were open in Mexico and the Middle East, all
operating under development and licensing agreements.
Additionally, there were two Bistro locations in Hawaii which
were operating under a joint venture arrangement in which we own
a noncontrolling interest. During the first half of fiscal 2010,
under an exclusive licensing agreement with Unilever, a premium
line of frozen Asian-style entrées, under the P.F.
Changs brand, became available in numerous retail outlets
throughout the U.S.
Concept
and Strategy
Our objectives are to be the best operator of Asian restaurants
and to expand the presence of our brand in domestic and
international markets, other venues and the retail sector while
providing superior returns to our shareholders. We offer high
quality Asian cuisine in a memorable atmosphere while delivering
exceptional customer service and an excellent dining value. By
developing and operating restaurants that offer guests a variety
of dining experiences from quick take-out to upscale dining
occasions, we strive to create a loyal customer base that
generates a high level of repeat business in our restaurants and
translates to interest and trial of our retail products.
We have established Bistro and Pei Wei restaurants in a wide
variety of markets across the United States. Key to our strategy
and success at the restaurant level is a philosophy that allows
regional managers, general managers and executive chefs to
participate in the profitability of the restaurants for which
they have responsibility. Additionally, through various
development and licensing agreements, we have partnered with
operators in international markets and in the retail sector to
extend our brand. Using expertise in their respective markets,
our international partners are developing, constructing, and
operating our restaurants worldwide. Our premium line of frozen
Asian-style entrées is available in numerous retail outlets
throughout the United States to offer consumers additional
opportunities to enjoy P.F. Changs brand entrées.

Menu
Bistro
The menu for our Bistro restaurants offers a harmony of taste,
texture, color and aroma by balancing the Chinese principles of
fan and tsai, which mean balance
and moderation. Fan foods include rice,
noodles, grains and dumplings, while tsai foods
include vegetables, meat, poultry and seafood. To further
encourage the Chinese principles of fan and tsai, our menu
is served family-style, the traditional Chinese way of dining.
Our chefs are trained to produce distinctive Chinese cuisine
using traditional recipes from the major culinary regions of
China, updated with a contemporary twist. The intense heat of
Mandarin-style wok cooking sears in the clarity and distinct
flavor of fresh ingredients. Slow-roasted Northern-style BBQ
spare ribs are prepared in vertical ovens, while handmade
shrimp, pork and vegetable dumplings, as well as flavorful fish
and vegetables, are prepared in custom-made steamer cabinets.
The menu is highlighted by dishes such as Changs Spicy
Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Changs Chicken Lettuce Wraps,
Oolong Marinated Sea Bass and Dan Dan Noodles. We also offer an
array of vegetarian dishes and are able to modify dishes to
accommodate our customers with special dietary needs, including
an extensive gluten-free menu. No MSG is added to any
ingredients at our restaurants.
In early 2010, we added a new daily Happy Hour from 3 to
6 PM at participating locations. The Happy Hour menu
features appetizers that are only available during happy hour
and are not part of the main Bistro menu, including dim sum and
street fare offerings, as well as specials on a variety of beer,
wine, sake and signature cocktails. Our Happy Hour rewards
guests by providing appealing, affordable cuisine and drinks at
a great value on a daily basis.
During 2009, we introduced Changs for Two, a prix-fixe
menu offering a four-course meal for two people for $39.95. The
menu includes two soups, one starter, two entrées and two
mini desserts, all of which can be chosen from an extensive
selection of signature dishes and guest favorites. Changs
for Two allows our customers to enjoy a premium dining
experience that offers both enticing culinary cuisine and great
value.
Entrées at the Bistro range in price from $6.50 to $22.50,
and our starters range in price from $3.00 to $8.95.
Additionally, the Bistro offers a kids menu ranging in
price from $2.95 to $4.95. The average check per guest,
including alcoholic beverages, is approximately $20.00 to
$21.00. Sales of alcoholic beverages, featuring an extensive
selection of wine, Asian beer, sake and signature cocktails,
have constituted approximately 13% to 15% of total revenues for
each of the past three years. Take-away sales comprise
approximately 12% of Bistros total revenues. Lunch and
dinner contribute approximately 32% and 68% of revenues,
respectively.
Pei
Wei
The menu at Pei Wei also offers a variety of intensely flavored
culinary creations; however, this menu is more concise than that
of the Bistro and includes not only Chinese cuisine but also
other Asian fare such as Japanese, Korean, Thai and Vietnamese
inspired dishes. As with the Bistro, Pei Wei has a high energy
exhibition kitchen featuring
made-to-order
items using traditional Mandarin-style wok cooking. Along with
our handmade dim sum, our guests can order a variety of Asian
dishes and traditional favorites such as Chicken Lettuce Wraps,
Honey Seared Chicken, Spicy Korean Beef and Pad Thai.
Our culinary team is continually researching and developing new
dishes which we introduce to our guests through the use of
limited time offers (LTOs). LTOs are typically
offered over a twelve-week period and are an excellent way for
us to provide a new culinary experience to our guests. Some LTOs
that have been offered over the past two years were Thai Mango
Chicken, Japanese Chile Beef Ramen, and Caramel Chicken. We
currently plan to offer two to three LTOs each year.
Entrées at Pei Wei range in price from $6.25 to $9.50, with
starters ranging from $2.00 to $7.25. Additionally, Pei Wei
offers a kids menu with entrées priced at $3.75. The
average check per guest at Pei Wei, including beer and wine
sales, is approximately $9.00 to $10.00. Sales of alcoholic
beverages, featuring a limited selection of beer and wine, have
constituted approximately 1% to 2% of total revenues for each of
the past three years. Take-away sales comprise approximately 40%
of Pei Weis total revenues. Lunch and dinner contribute
approximately 43% and 57% of revenues, respectively.

Operations
Bistro
The Bistro strives to create a sophisticated dining experience
through the careful selection, training and supervision of
personnel. The staff of a typical Bistro restaurant consists of
an Operating Partner, three or four managers, a Culinary
Partner, one or two sous chefs and approximately 125 hourly
employees, many of whom work part-time. The Operating Partner of
each restaurant is responsible for the
day-to-day
operations of that restaurant, including the hiring, training
and development of personnel, as well as operating results. The
Culinary Partner is responsible for product quality, purchasing,
food costs and kitchen labor costs. We require our Operating
Partners and Culinary Partners to have significant experience in
the full service restaurant industry.
The Bistro has a comprehensive eight-week management development
program. This program consists of four weeks of culinary
training, including both culinary job functions and culinary
management, with the remaining four weeks focused on service
strategies, guest relations and administration. All salaried
hospitality and culinary management personnel are required to
successfully complete all sections of the program. Upon the
completion of each four-week section, each trainee must
successfully complete a comprehensive certification.
Operating Partners are responsible for selecting hourly
employees for their restaurants and administering hourly staff
training programs that are developed by the training and
culinary departments. The hourly employee development program
lasts between one and two weeks and focuses on both technical
and cultural knowledge.
Additionally, the Bistro offers online ordering and online
reservations on its website at www.pfchangs.com.
Pei
Wei
The staff at a typical Pei Wei restaurant consists of a general
manager, a kitchen manager, one or two managers, and
approximately 35 hourly employees. Our general managers are
responsible for the
day-to-day
operations of the restaurant, including the hiring, training and
development of personnel, as well as operating results. The
kitchen manager collaborates with the general manager on product
quality, purchasing, food cost and kitchen labor costs.
Pei Wei uses a comprehensive nine-week management training
program, which consists of six weeks of hands-on culinary
functions and culinary management, with the remaining three
weeks focusing on service strategies specific to dine-in and
take-away service, guest and employee relations and
administration. Upon completion of training, each new manager
must complete a comprehensive culinary and overall operations
certification.
Each Pei Wei hourly employee undergoes a week-long comprehensive
training program that focuses on the culinary knowledge required
for his or her specific position. After completion of the
program, each employee is required to pass a test specific to
his or her position prior to serving our guests.
Additionally, to help facilitate take-away sales, Pei Wei offers
online ordering on its website at www.peiwei.com. Digital menu
boards provide the flexibility to facilitate menu changes and
product messaging.
Global
Brand Development
International
We are selectively pursuing expansion of our brands into various
international markets and other venues. During fiscal 2010 and
2009, we signed four development and licensing agreements with
partners who will develop and operate Bistro restaurants in
international markets. Our license agreements typically provide
for us to receive an initial territory fee, store opening fees
and ongoing royalty revenues based on a percentage of
international restaurant sales.
We continue to engage in discussions with additional potential
partners regarding expansion of the Companys brands into
various international markets and other venues.
5
Retail
During 2009, we entered into an exclusive licensing agreement
with Unilever to develop and launch a premium line of frozen
Asian-style entrées in the U.S. under the P.F.
Changs brand. We receive ongoing royalty revenues based on
a percentage of product sales, with such percentages escalating
over the first three years of the agreement. During the second
quarter of 2010, the new product line became available in
numerous retail outlets, at which time we began recognizing
retail royalty revenues.
Marketing
We focus our business strategy on providing high quality, Asian
cuisine prepared by an attentive staff in a distinctive
environment at a great value. By focusing on the food, service
and ambiance of the restaurant, we strive to create an
environment that fosters repeat patronage and encourages
word-of-mouth
recommendations. We believe that
word-of-mouth
advertising is a key component in driving guests initial
trial and subsequent visits, and that creating a great
experience for guests will always be the ultimate marketing
vehicle.
To attract and retain new customers, we have historically
utilized a mix of marketing strategies including paid
advertising, public relations and local community involvement.
While we have used limited radio, print and outdoor advertising
in the past, in recent years we began making more significant
investments in these marketing channels in key markets. At the
same time, we added online, direct mail, social media, and
customer relationship initiatives to the media mix to both drive
new customer trials and foster better ongoing communication with
our guests. In addition, at the Bistro, we implemented a Warrior
Card loyalty program which provides our cardholders with the
latest news, information, and special offers. We expect to
continue these efforts in fiscal 2011.
Management
Information Systems
We utilize an integrated information system to manage the flow
of information within each restaurant and between the
restaurants and the home office. This system includes a
point-of-sale
local area network that helps facilitate the operations of the
restaurant by recording sales transactions and printing orders
in the appropriate locations within the restaurant.
Additionally, the
point-of-sale
system is utilized to authorize, batch and transmit credit card
transactions, to record employee time clock information, to
schedule labor and to produce a variety of management reports.
Select information that is captured from this system is
transmitted to the home office on a daily basis, enabling senior
management to continually monitor operating results. We believe
that our current
point-of-sale
system will be an adequate platform to support our continued
expansion for the foreseeable future.
Supply
Chain Management
Our supply chain management function provides our restaurants
with high quality ingredients at competitive prices from
reliable sources. Consistent menu specifications, as well as
purchasing and receiving guidelines with continuous monitoring,
ensure freshness and quality. Because we utilize fresh
ingredients in our menu offerings, a modest level of inventory
is maintained at each store. We negotiate short-term and
long-term contracts depending on demand for the commodities used
in the preparation of our products. Typically, our most
important items are contracted for a term of one or more years
to stabilize prices and ensure availability.
We have developed an extensive network of suppliers in order to
maintain an adequate supply of items that conform to our brand
and product specifications. With the exception of a portion of
our commodities, like produce, we utilize Distribution Market
Advantage, a cooperative of multiple food distributors located
throughout the United States, as the primary distributor of
product to all of our restaurants. We have a non-exclusive
contract with Distribution Market Advantage on terms and
conditions that we believe are consistent with those made
available to similarly situated restaurant companies. Our
produce is distributed by a network of local specialty
distributors who service our restaurants in adherence to our
quality and safety standards.
Asian-specific ingredients, primarily spices and sauces, are
usually sourced directly from Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and
Thailand through a single importer and distributor. While this
arrangement provides numerous benefits, including a rigorous
quality assurance program and lower negotiated contract prices
due to higher purchase
6
volumes, the Company accepts a marginal amount of risk due to
our reliance on a single source provider. However, we believe
that competitively priced alternative distribution sources are
available should they become necessary.
Competition
The restaurant business is intensely competitive with respect to
food quality, price-value relationships, ambiance, service and
location, and many existing restaurants compete with us at each
of our locations. Key competitive factors in the industry
include the quality and value of the food, quality of service,
price, dining experience, restaurant location and the ambiance
of the facilities. For the Bistro, our primary competitors are
upscale casual dining restaurants. For Pei Wei, our main
competitors are other value-priced, quick casual concepts as
well as locally owned and operated Asian restaurants.
There are a number of well-established competitors with greater
financial, marketing, personnel and other resources than ours.
In addition, many of our competitors are well-established in the
markets where our operations are, or in which they may be,
located. While we believe that our restaurants are distinctive
in design and operating concept, other companies may develop
restaurants that operate with similar concepts. Additionally,
the continuing popularity of Asian food may result in increased
competition from non-Asian restaurants and other food outlets as
they increase their number of Asian-inspired menu offerings. We
also face growing competition as retail outlets improve the
quality and convenience of their meal offerings potentially
resulting in fewer occasions for consumers to dine out.
Employees
At January 2, 2011, we employed approximately
25,000 persons, approximately 300 of whom were home office
and field support personnel, approximately 1,800 of whom were
unit management personnel and the remainder of whom were hourly
restaurant personnel. Our employees are not covered by a
collective bargaining agreement. We consider our employee
relations to be good.
Unit
Economics
We believe that unit economics are critical to the long-term
success of any restaurant concept. Accordingly, we focus on
unit-level returns over time as a key measurement of our success
or failure. For analysis purposes, we group our restaurants by
the year in which they opened. We then compare each
class to its peers over time as well as to the
performance of the entire system. These unit economics are
available under the Investors/ROIC section of our website:
www.pfcb.com.
Access to
Information
Our Internet address is www.pfcb.com. We make available
at this address, free of charge, our annual report on
Form 10-K,
quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q,
current reports on
Form 8-K,
amendments to those reports, and beneficial ownership reports
filed by our directors and officers pursuant to Section 16
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as soon as reasonably
practicable after we electronically file such material with, or
furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC.
The
failure of our existing or new restaurants to achieve expected
results could have a negative impact on our revenues and
financial results, including potential impairment of the
long-lived assets of our restaurants, and could negatively
impact our growth and stock price.
We owned and operated 201 full service Bistro restaurants and
168 quick casual Pei Wei restaurants as of January 2, 2011,
six of which opened within the last twelve months. The results
achieved by these restaurants may not be indicative of longer
term performance or the potential market acceptance of
restaurants in other locations. There can be no assurance that
any new restaurant that we open will have similar operating
results to those of prior restaurants. Our new restaurants
commonly take several months to reach planned operating levels
due to inefficiencies typically associated with new restaurants,
including the training of new personnel, lack of market
7
awareness, inability to hire sufficient staff and other factors.
The failure of our existing or new restaurants to perform as
expected could have a significant negative impact.
We are subject to a number of significant risks that might cause
our actual results to vary materially from our historical
results or future projections including:
|
|
|
|
|
lower customer traffic or average guest check, which negatively
impacts comparable store sales, net revenues, operating income,
operating margins and earnings per share, due to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
unfavorable general economic conditions in the markets in which
we operate, including, but not limited to, higher unemployment
rates, downturns in the housing market, lower disposable income
due to general price inflation, lower consumer confidence,
higher interest rates, and other events or factors that
adversely affect consumer spending;
|
|
|
|
the impact of initiatives by competitors and increased
competition generally;
|
|
|
|
lack of customer acceptance of new menu items or potential price
increases necessary to cover higher input costs;
|
|
|
|
customers trading down to lower priced items
and/or
shifting to competitors with lower priced products;
|
|
|
|
changes in consumer preferences or declines in general consumer
demand for Asian menu items; and
|
|
|
|
unsuccessful marketing programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
expense fluctuations that are either wholly or partially beyond
our control, such as:
|
|
|
|
|
|
costs for commodities;
|
|
|
|
material interruptions in our supply chain, such as a material
interruption of ingredient supply due to the failure of
third-party suppliers, or interruptions in service by common
carriers that ship goods within our distribution channels;
|
|
|
|
labor costs such as increased healthcare costs and general
market wage levels;
|
|
|
|
operating expenses, such as utilities and other expenses that
are impacted by energy price fluctuations;
|
|
|
|
fair value fluctuations related to our cash-settled share-based
compensation awards;
|
|
|
|
costs of opening, closing or relocating our restaurants;
|
|
|
|
litigation against the Company, particularly class action
lawsuits;
|
|
|
|
information technology costs and other logistical resources
necessary to maintain and support the global growth of our
business; and
|
|
|
|
increased employee training costs due to turnover.
|
If market conditions deteriorate or if operating results decline
unexpectedly, we may be required to record impairment charges,
which will negatively impact results of operations for the
periods in which they are recorded. Due to the foregoing
factors, results for any one quarter are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for any other quarter or
for a full fiscal year and these fluctuations may cause our
operating results to be below expectations of public market
analysts and investors, adversely impacting our stock price.
Damage
to our brands or reputation could negatively impact our
business.
Our success depends substantially on the value and relevance of
our brands and our reputation for offering a high quality,
memorable experience to our guests. We believe that we must
protect and grow the value of our brands to continue to be
successful in the future. Any incident that erodes consumer
trust in or affinity for our brands could significantly reduce
their value. If consumers perceive or experience a reduction in
food quality, service or ambiance, or in any way believe we
failed to deliver a consistently positive experience, our brand
value could suffer which could have an adverse effect on our
business.
8
Additionally,
multi-unit
food service businesses such as ours can be materially and
adversely affected by widespread negative publicity of any type,
particularly regarding food quality, illness or public health
issues (such as epidemics or the prospect of a pandemic),
safety, injury or other health concerns. We have taken steps to
mitigate each of these risks. To minimize the risk of food-borne
illness, we have implemented a Hazard Analysis and Critical
Control Points (HACCP) system for managing food
safety and quality. Nevertheless, these risks cannot be
completely eliminated and any outbreak of illness attributed to
our restaurants or within the food service industry in general
could cause a decline in our sales and have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations.
We believe that we have selected high-caliber, experienced
partners for our business expansion into international markets
and retail product licensing. However, if customers have
negative perceptions or experiences with operational execution
or food quality at international restaurants or with our line of
premium frozen Asian-style entrées, our brand value could
suffer which could have an adverse effect on our business.
Development
is critical to our long-term success.
Critical to our long-term future success is our ability to
successfully expand our operations. We have expanded from 7
restaurants at the end of 1996 to 369 restaurants as of
January 2, 2011. We expect to open three to five new Bistro
restaurants and six to eight new Pei Wei restaurants during
fiscal 2011. Each of our restaurants is distinctively designed
to accommodate particular characteristics of each location and
to blend local or regional design themes with our principal
trade dress and other common design elements. This presents each
location with its own development and construction risks. Our
ability to expand successfully will depend on a number of
factors, including:
|
|
|
|
|
identification and availability of suitable locations;
|
|
|
|
competition for restaurant sites in new and existing markets;
|
|
|
|
timely negotiation of favorable lease arrangements;
|
|
|
|
management of the costs of construction and development of new
restaurants, including materials and skilled labor;
|
|
|
|
securing required governmental construction, zoning or other
approvals and permits;
|
|
|
|
management of modifications in design to the size and scope of
the projects or other unforeseen engineering problems;
|
|
|
|
recruitment of qualified operating personnel, including
managers, chefs, kitchen staff and wait staff;
|
|
|
|
timely development of commercial, residential, street or highway
construction near our restaurants;
|
|
|
|
timely opening and continuing operations of other tenants at
retail centers in which we are located;
|
|
|
|
weather conditions; and
|
|
|
|
general economic conditions, including those arising from the
current economic down turn.
|
The opening of additional restaurants in the future will depend
primarily on the availability of high-quality commercial real
estate projects of the type we typically target for new
locations. We may not be able to open our planned new
restaurants on a timely basis, if at all, and, if opened, these
restaurants may not be operated profitably. We have experienced,
and expect to continue to experience, delays in restaurant
openings from time to time. Delays or failures in opening
planned new restaurants could have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
We are
impacted by changes in general economic conditions and are
dependent on sales concentrated in certain geographic
areas.
Generally weak economic conditions may continue throughout
fiscal 2011. As a result, our customers may continue to remain
apprehensive about the economy and maintain or further reduce
their already lowered level of discretionary spending. This
could impact the frequency with which our customers choose to
dine out or the amount
9
they spend on meals while dining out, thereby decreasing our
revenues and potentially negatively affecting our operating
results. Our business is also influenced by the level of
corporate travel and entertainment spending by businesses as a
significant portion of our sales is generated by guests
conducting business at our Bistro restaurants. We believe there
is a risk that prolonged negative economic conditions might
cause both individual consumers and businesses to make
long-lasting changes to their discretionary spending behavior,
including dining out less frequently on a more permanent basis,
which would have an adverse effect on our business.
Additionally, our financial performance is highly dependent on
restaurants located in Texas, California, Florida and Arizona
which contribute almost one-half of our total revenues. In
recent years, these states have been more negatively impacted by
the housing downturn, unemployment and the overall negative
economic environment than other geographic areas. As a result,
we have seen a more substantial decline in guest traffic at some
of our restaurants in these locations, which has adversely
affected the operations of our company as a whole. If we are
unable to improve operating performance in these geographic
areas, our financial results may continue to be adversely
affected.
Intense
competition in the restaurant industry could prevent us from
increasing or sustaining our revenues and
profitability.
The restaurant industry is intensely competitive with respect to
food quality, price-value relationships, ambiance, service and
location, and many restaurants compete with us at each of our
locations. Our Bistro competitors are primarily upscale casual
dining restaurants, and our Pei Wei competitors are primarily
other value-priced, quick casual concepts as well as locally
owned and operated Asian restaurants. There are a number of
well-established competitors with greater financial, marketing,
personnel and other resources than ours, and many of our
competitors are well-established in the markets where we have
restaurants, or in which we intend to locate restaurants.
Additionally, other companies may develop similar concepts and
the ongoing popularity of Asian food may result in increased
competition from non-Asian restaurants which offer
Asian-inspired dishes. We also face growing competition as
retail outlets improve the quality and convenience of their meal
offerings potentially resulting in fewer occasions for consumers
to dine out.
Our revenue is also impacted by our business expansion into
international markets. The growth of our international business
depends upon our ability to find and attract quality partners.
In addition, as our existing and potential international
partners reach agreements with other restaurant companies, we
are competing for our partners time and resources to
dedicate to successfully expanding and executing our brand in
their markets. There is also a risk that international markets
will become saturated with restaurant offerings, thus creating
greater competition for guests.
Any inability to successfully compete with other restaurants in
domestic or international markets may prevent us from increasing
or sustaining our revenues
and/or
profitability and could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows. We may also need to modify or refine elements of our
restaurant system to evolve our concepts in order to compete
with popular new restaurant formats or concepts that may develop
from time to time. We cannot ensure that we will be successful
in implementing any such potential modifications or that these
modifications will not reduce our profitability.
Changes
in government legislation may increase our labor costs and have
a material adverse effect on our business and financial
results.
A substantial number of our restaurant personnel are hourly
workers whose wage rates are affected by increases in the
federal or state minimum wage rate. We are subject to the Fair
Labor Standards Act, which governs such matters as minimum
wages, overtime and other working conditions. As minimum wage
rates increase, we may need to increase not only the wages of
our minimum wage employees but also the wages paid to employees
at wage rates that are above minimum wage. Future legislation
that increases minimum wage rates may increase our labor costs
and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Additionally, potential changes in labor legislation, including
all or parts of the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA),
could result in portions of our workforce being subjected to
greater organized labor influence. The EFCA, also referred to as
the card check bill, could impact the nature of
labor relations in the United States,
10
specifically, how union elections and contract negotiations are
conducted. The EFCA aims to make it easier for unions to form,
and employers of unionized employees may face mandatory, binding
arbitration of labor scheduling, costs and standards, which
could increase the costs of doing business. As EFCA will most
likely not be passed in its current form, another more immediate
risk arises from the change in composition of the National Labor
Relations Board (NLRB), which has the power to enact
policy changes. Although we do not currently have any union
employees, NLRB rulemaking and reversal of existing NLRB
precedent, EFCA or similar labor legislation could have an
adverse effect on our business and financial results by imposing
requirements that could potentially increase costs, reduce
flexibility and impact our ability to service our guests.
Litigation
could have a material adverse effect on our
business.
We are, from time to time, the subject of complaints or
litigation from guests alleging food borne illnesses, injuries
or other food quality, health or operational concerns. We may be
adversely affected by publicity resulting from such allegations,
regardless of whether such allegations are valid or whether we
are ultimately determined to be liable. We are also subject to
complaints or litigation from former or prospective employees
alleging wage and hour issues, discrimination, or other concerns
from time to time as well as from vendors, landlords, and other
third-parties. A lawsuit or claim could result in an adverse
decision against us that could have a material adverse effect on
our business. The outcome of litigation, particularly class
action lawsuits and regulatory actions, is difficult to assess
or quantify. Plaintiffs in these types of lawsuits may seek
recovery of very large or indeterminate amounts, and the
magnitude of the potential loss relating to such lawsuits may
remain unknown for substantial periods of time. We assess
contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range
of possible loss for potential accrual in our financial
statements. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in our
financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been
incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable
resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly
subjective and requires judgments about future events. We
regularly review contingencies to determine the adequacy of our
accruals and related disclosures. The amount of ultimate loss
may differ from these estimates. Additionally, the costs and
expense of defending ourselves against lawsuits or claims,
regardless of merit, could have an adverse impact on our
profitability and could cause variability in our results
compared to expectations.
We are subject to state dram shop laws and
regulations, which generally provide that a person injured by an
intoxicated person may seek to recover damages from an
establishment that wrongfully served alcoholic beverages to such
person. While we carry liquor liability coverage as part of our
existing comprehensive general liability insurance, we may still
be subject to a judgment in excess of our insurance coverage and
we may not be able to obtain or continue to maintain such
insurance coverage at reasonable costs, or at all.
Adverse
public or medical opinions about the health effects of consuming
our products or new information or attitudes regarding diet and
health could result in changes in regulations and consumer
eating habits that could adversely affect our
business.
Multi-unit
restaurant operators and food service operations have received
more scrutiny from regulators and health organizations in recent
years relating to the health effects of consuming certain
products. Regulations and consumer eating habits may change as a
result of new information or attitudes regarding diet and
health. Although our menu provides a range of healthy options,
an unfavorable report on our menu ingredients, the size of our
portions or the consumption of our menu items could influence
the demand for our offerings. These changes may include
regulations that impact the ingredients and nutritional content
of our menu items. Also, as part of the health care reform law
enacted by Congress in March of 2010, there are new federal
requirements for menu labeling. The success of our restaurant
operations is dependent, in part, upon our ability to
effectively respond to changes in consumer health and disclosure
regulations and to adapt our menu offerings to trends in eating
habits. If consumer health regulations or consumer eating habits
change significantly, we may be required to modify or delete
certain menu items. We may experience higher costs associated
with the implementation and oversight of such changes. To the
extent we are unable to respond with appropriate changes to our
menu offerings, it could materially affect customer demand and
have an adverse impact on our business.
11
Our
failure to comply with governmental regulations could harm our
business and our reputation.
We are subject to regulation by federal agencies and to
licensing and regulation by state and local health, sanitation,
building, zoning, safety, fire and other departments relating to
the development and operation of restaurants. These regulations
include matters relating to building construction, zoning
requirements, employment, the preparation and sale of food and
alcoholic beverages, integrity and security of data and the
environment.
Our facilities are licensed and subject to regulation under
state and local fire, health and safety codes. The development
and construction of additional restaurants will be subject to
compliance with applicable zoning, land use and environmental
regulations. We may not be able to obtain necessary licenses or
other approvals on a cost-effective and timely basis in order to
construct and develop restaurants in the future.
Various federal and state labor laws govern our operations and
our relationship with our employees, including minimum wage,
overtime, working conditions, fringe benefit and citizenship
requirements. In particular, we are subject to the regulations
of the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services, or BCIS.
The United States Congress has recently been considering changes
to Federal immigration laws and various states, including some
where we have significant operations, are also in the process of
considering or have already adopted new immigration laws. Some
of these new laws may adversely affect our operations by
increasing our obligations for compliance and oversight.
Although we require all workers to provide us with the
government-specified documentation evidencing their employment
eligibility, some of our employees may, without our knowledge,
be unauthorized workers. Unauthorized workers are subject to
seizure and deportation and may subject us to fines, penalties
or loss of our business license in certain jurisdictions. Any
material disruption of our business, as a result of seizure of
our workers, changes in immigration law, or significantly
increased labor costs at our restaurants in the future, could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and operating results.
Approximately 13 to 15% percent of total Bistro revenues and 1
to 2% percent of total Pei Wei revenues are attributable to the
sale of alcoholic beverages. We are required to comply with the
alcohol licensing requirements of the federal government, states
and municipalities where our restaurants are located. Alcoholic
beverage control regulations require applications to state
authorities and, in certain locations, county and municipal
authorities for a license and permit to sell alcoholic
beverages. Typically, licenses must be renewed annually and may
be revoked or suspended for cause at any time. Alcoholic
beverage control regulations relate to numerous aspects of the
daily operations of the restaurants, including minimum age of
guests and employees, hours of operation, advertising, wholesale
purchasing, inventory control and handling, storage and
dispensing of alcoholic beverages. If we fail to comply with
federal, state or local regulations, our licenses may be revoked
and we may be forced to terminate the sale of alcoholic
beverages at one or more of our restaurants.
The federal Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits
discrimination on the basis of disability in public
accommodations and employment. We are required to comply with
the Americans with Disabilities Act and regulations relating to
accommodating the needs of the disabled in connection with the
construction of new facilities and with significant renovations
of existing facilities, which increases the costs of our
operations.
We receive and maintain certain personal information about our
guests and employees. The use of this information by us is
regulated at the federal and state levels. If our security and
information systems are compromised or our business associates
fail to comply with these laws and regulations and this
information is obtained by unauthorized persons or used
inappropriately, it could adversely affect our reputation, as
well as results of operations, and could result in litigation
against us or the imposition of penalties. As privacy and
information security laws and regulations change, we may incur
additional costs to ensure we remain in compliance.
The U.S. and other foreign governments have increased focus
on environmental matters such as climate change, greenhouse
gases and water conservation. This increased focus may lead to
new initiatives directed at regulating an as yet unspecified
array of environmental matters. These efforts could result in
increased taxation or in future restrictions on or increases in
costs associated with food and other restaurant supplies,
transportation costs and utility costs, any of which could
decrease our operating profits
and/or
necessitate future investments in our restaurant facilities and
equipment to achieve compliance.
Failure to comply with these and other regulations could
negatively impact our business and our reputation.
12
Changes
in food costs or availability could negatively impact our
revenues and results of operations.
Our profitability is dependent in part on our ability to
anticipate and react to changes in food costs and availability.
Factors beyond our control, including adverse weather conditions
and governmental regulation, may affect our food costs. Any
disruption in the supply of commodities or specialty items due
to quality, availability or other issues could also cause our
food costs to fluctuate. To mitigate some of the risks
associated with availability, other than for a portion of our
commodities, such as produce which is purchased locally by each
restaurant, we rely on Distribution Market Advantage, a
cooperative of multiple food distributors located throughout the
nation, as the primary distributor of our ingredients. We have a
non-exclusive contract with Distribution Market Advantage on
terms and conditions that we believe are consistent with those
made available to similarly situated restaurant companies.
Although we believe that alternative distribution sources are
available, any increase in distribution prices or failure to
perform by Distribution Market Advantage could cause our food
costs to fluctuate. We also have exposure to fluctuating costs
and potential short-term availability issues associated with our
Asian-specific ingredients, primarily spices and sauces, which
we source directly from Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and Thailand
through a single importer and distributor. We may not be able to
anticipate and react to changing food costs through our
purchasing practices and menu price adjustments in the future,
and failure to do so could negatively impact our revenues and
results of operations.
Our
inability to retain key personnel could negatively impact our
business.
Our success will continue to be highly dependent on our key
operating officers, key executive officers, and employees. We
must continue to attract, retain and motivate a sufficient
number of qualified management and operating personnel,
including regional managers, general managers and executive
chefs. The ability of these key personnel to maintain
consistency in the quality of our product offerings and service
and atmosphere of our restaurants is a critical factor in our
success. The key executive officers serve to maintain a
corporate vision for our Company, execute our business strategy,
and maintain consistency in the operating standards of our
restaurants. Any failure to attract, retain and motivate key
personnel may harm our reputation and result in a loss of
business. Our future success is highly dependent upon our
ability to attract and retain certain key operating, executive
and other employees.
Robert Vivian, one of our co-chief executive officers, will
retire at the end of fiscal 2011. While we are constantly
focused on succession plans at all levels, when his employment
terminates, the transition process may result in disruptions to
our operations, which could have an adverse effect on our
results of operations and business.
Federal,
state and local tax rules can adversely impact our results of
operations and financial position.
We are subject to federal, state and local taxes in the U.S and
international taxes. Significant judgment is required in
determining the provision for income taxes. Although we believe
our tax estimates are reasonable, if the IRS or other taxing
authority disagrees with the positions we have taken on our tax
returns, we could have additional tax liability, including
interest and penalties. If material, payment of such additional
amounts upon final adjudication of any disputes could have a
material impact on our results of operations and financial
position.
In addition, companies in the restaurant industry are typically
impacted by changes to tax law regarding tip credits. Tip
credits are the amounts an employer is permitted to assume an
employee receives in tips when the employer calculates the
employees hourly wage for minimum wage compliance
purposes. FICA tip credits resulting from tip credit reporting
are also a significant factor when calculating the
Companys effective tax rate. Changes to the tip credit
have recently been and continue to be proposed and implemented
at both federal and state government levels. Future legislation
that changes allowable tip credits may increase our effective
tax rate and have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Complying with new tax rules, laws or regulations could impact
our financial condition and increases to federal or state
statutory tax rates and other changes in tax laws, rules or
regulations may increase our effective tax rate. Any increase in
our effective tax rate could have a material impact on our
financial results.
13
Fluctuating
insurance requirements and costs could negatively impact our
profitability and projections.
The cost of workers compensation insurance, general
liability insurance, health insurance, and directors and
officers liability insurance fluctuates based on market
conditions and availability as well as our historical trends. We
self-insure a substantial portion of our workers
compensation, general liability, and health insurance costs and
unfavorable changes in trends could have a negative impact on
our profitability.
Additionally, health insurance costs in general have risen
significantly over the past few years and are expected to
continue to increase in 2011. We are reviewing the health care
reform law enacted by Congress in March of 2010 to evaluate the
potential impact of this new law on our business and to comply
with various parts of the law as they take effect. The increases
in costs, as well as legislation requirements for employers to
provide specified levels of health insurance to all employees,
could have a negative impact on our profitability if we are not
able to offset the effect of such increases with plan
modifications and cost control measures, or by continuing to
improve our operating efficiencies.
The
seasonality of our business could result in fluctuations in our
financial performance.
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Our sales
volumes are generally higher in the winter months and lower in
the summer months, which can cause fluctuations in our operating
results from quarter to quarter within a fiscal year. As a
result, results of operations for any single quarter are not
indicative of results that may be achieved for a full fiscal
year. Additionally, quarterly fluctuations in our results can
impact the amount of quarterly cash dividend payments, which are
based on a fixed percentage of net income.
We
could be adversely impacted if our information technology and
computer systems do not perform properly.
We rely on computer systems and information technology to
conduct our business, most importantly
point-of-sale
processing in our restaurants. Our ability to efficiently manage
our business depends significantly on the reliability and
capacity of our systems. The failure of these systems to operate
effectively could cause delays in customer service and reduce
efficiency in our operations.

Additionally, there are seven international Bistro restaurants
in Mexico and the Middle East as of the end of fiscal 2010,
operated by business partners under international development
and licensing agreements. Two Bistro restaurants in Hawaii are
also operated by a business partner under a joint venture
arrangement in which we own a noncontrolling interest.
Our home office is located in a 50,000 square foot office
building in Scottsdale, Arizona. We purchased the land and
building during 2004.
Expansion
Strategy and Site Selection
We have historically developed Bistro and Pei Wei restaurants in
both new and existing markets utilizing an expansion strategy
targeted at metropolitan areas throughout the United States.
Within each targeted metropolitan area, we identify specific
areas with high traffic patterns and suitable demographic
characteristics, including population density, consumer
attitudes and household income. Within an appropriate area, we
evaluate specific sites that provide visibility, accessibility
and exposure to traffic volume. Our site criteria are flexible,
as is evidenced by the variety of environments and facilities in
which we currently operate. These facilities include
freestanding buildings, regional malls, urban properties and
strip centers.
During fiscal 2011, we plan to open three to five new Bistro
restaurants and six to eight new Pei Wei restaurants. As of the
date of this
Form 10-K,
we had opened one of the new Pei Wei restaurants and none of the
new Bistro restaurants planned for fiscal 2011.
Bistro restaurants typically range in size from 6,000 to
7,500 square feet and require an average total invested
capital of approximately $3.5 million to $4.0 million
per restaurant (net of estimated tenant incentives). This total
capitalized investment includes the capitalized lease value of
the property, which can vary greatly depending on the specific
trade area. We expect that our planned future restaurants will
require, on average, a total cash investment per restaurant of
approximately $2.5 million to $3.0 million (net of
estimated tenant incentives). Preopening expenses are expected
to average approximately $350,000 to $400,000 per Bistro
restaurant during fiscal 2011.
Pei Wei restaurants are generally 2,800 to 3,400 square
feet and require an average total invested capital of
approximately $1.5 million per restaurant (net of estimated
tenant incentives). This total capitalized investment includes
the capitalized lease value of the property, which can vary
greatly depending on the specific trade area. We expect that our
planned future restaurants will require, on average, a total
cash investment per restaurant of approximately $750,000 to
$850,000 (net of estimated tenant incentives). Preopening
expenses are expected to average approximately $140,000 to
$160,000 per Pei Wei restaurant during fiscal 2011.
We currently lease the sites for all of our Bistro and Pei Wei
restaurants and do not intend to purchase real estate for our
sites in the future. Current restaurant leases have expiration
dates ranging from 2011 to 2025, with the majority of the leases
providing for at least one five-year renewal option. There are
nine leases scheduled to expire in fiscal 2011 of which seven
have been renewed as of January 2, 2011. We are currently
negotiating with the landlords on lease renewal options for
these two restaurant leases that are scheduled to expire in
fiscal 2011. Generally, our leases provide for minimum annual
rent, and most leases require additional rent based on a
percentage of sales volume in excess of minimum contractual
levels at the particular location. Most of our leases require us
to pay the costs of insurance, property taxes, and a portion of
the lessors operating costs. We will evaluate restaurants
toward the end of their initial lease term to assess whether we
will renew the lease, move the existing restaurant to a new
location or close the restaurant. We do not anticipate any
difficulties renewing existing leases as they expire.

Prior to fiscal 2010, we had not historically paid any cash
dividends. In February 2010, the Board of Directors approved the
initiation of a quarterly variable cash dividend based on our
desire to consistently return excess cash flow to our
shareholders. The amount of the cash dividend is calculated
based on 45% of quarterly net income. Cash dividends are paid
quarterly in arrears. Based on seasonal fluctuations in
quarterly net income, the amount of cash dividend payments is
expected to fluctuate between quarters.
On February 11, 2011, there were 116 holders of record of
P.F. Changs common stock. This does not include persons
whose stock is in nominee or street name accounts
through brokers.
Issuer
Purchases of Equity Securities
Our Board of Directors has authorized programs to repurchase our
outstanding shares of common stock from time to time in the open
market, pursuant to
Rule 10b5-1
trading plans or in private transactions at prevailing market
prices. Under current and previous share repurchase programs
authorized by our Board of Directors, we have repurchased a
total of 6.0 million shares of our common stock for
$187.1 million at an average price of $31.32 since July
2006. Included in this total are 0.9 million shares of our
common stock repurchased during fiscal 2010 for
$41.1 million at an average price of $45.22 using cash on
hand. $0.3 million of the amount repurchased during fiscal
2010 relates to shares that were repurchased under the previous
share repurchase program that expired December 31, 2009 but
did not settle until after January 3, 2010.
At January 2, 2011, there remains $59.2 million
available under our current share repurchase authorization of
$100.0 million, which expires December 2011.
The following table sets forth our share repurchases of common
stock during each period in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010:

Global Brand Development and other ventures, as well as our
growth strategy and challenges we face. A summary of our 2010
financial results and our fiscal 2011 outlook are also presented.
Restaurants
We own and operate two restaurant concepts in the Asian niche:
P.F. Changs China Bistro (Bistro) and Pei Wei
Asian Diner (Pei Wei).
Bistro
As of January 2, 2011, we owned and operated 201 full
service Bistro restaurants that feature a blend of high quality,
Chinese-inspired cuisine and attentive service in a high energy
contemporary bistro setting. P.F. Changs was formed in
early 1996 with the acquisition of the four original Bistro
restaurants and the hiring of an experienced management team.
Utilizing a partnership management philosophy, we embarked on a
strategic expansion of the concept targeted at major
metropolitan areas throughout the United States. We own and
operate all of our restaurants in the continental U.S.
Pei
Wei
As of January 2, 2011, we owned and operated 168 quick
casual Pei Wei restaurants that serve freshly prepared,
wok-seared, contemporary pan-Asian cuisine in a relaxed, warm
environment with friendly, attentive counter service and
take-out flexibility. We opened our first Pei Wei restaurant in
July 2000 in the Phoenix, Arizona area.

Global
Brand Development
Under Global Brand Development we have extended our brand to
international markets and retail products, with both businesses
operating under licensing agreements.
International
and Other Venues
We are selectively pursuing expansion of our brands into various
international markets and other venues. During fiscal 2010 and
2009, we signed four development and licensing agreements with
partners who will develop and operate Bistro restaurants in
international markets. Our license agreements typically provide
for us to receive an initial territory fee, store opening fees
and ongoing royalty revenues based on a percentage of
international restaurant sales. As of January 2, 2011,
seven Bistro restaurants were open in Mexico and the Middle
East. We continue to engage in discussions with additional
potential partners regarding expansion of our brands.
Additionally, there are two Bistro restaurants located in Hawaii
which are operated under a joint venture arrangement in which we
own a noncontrolling interest.
Retail
During 2009, we entered into an exclusive licensing agreement
with Unilever to develop and launch a premium line of frozen
Asian-style entrées in the U.S. under the P.F.
Changs brand. We receive ongoing royalty revenues based on
a percentage of product sales, with such percentages escalating
over the first three years of the agreement. During the second
quarter of 2010, the new product line became available in
numerous retail outlets, at which time we began recognizing
retail royalty revenues.
Other
Ventures
During 2009, we entered into an agreement with FRC Balance LLC,
d/b/a True Food Kitchen, to provide debt capital for the
early-stage development of True Food Kitchen restaurants. The
agreement provides a $10.0 million loan facility to develop
True Food Kitchen restaurants that we can, under certain
conditions, convert into a majority equity position in True Food
Kitchen. As of January 2, 2011, we had advanced
$5.2 million under the loan facility to fund construction
of two new restaurants which opened during fiscal 2010 and to
fund the initial stages of construction for one restaurant
scheduled to open during fiscal 2011.
Our
Strategy
Our objectives are to be the best operator of Asian restaurants
and to expand the presence of our brand in domestic and
international markets, other venues and the retail sector while
providing superior returns to our investors. We offer high
quality Asian cuisine in a memorable atmosphere while delivering
exceptional customer service and an excellent dining value. By
developing and operating restaurants that offer guests their
preferred dining experience from quick take-out to a
sophisticated dining occasion, we strive to create a loyal
customer base that generates a high level of repeat business in
our restaurants and translates to interest and trial of our
retail products.
We are selective when choosing our new restaurant locations and
assess anticipated returns on invested capital at both an
individual restaurant and market level when determining future
development plans. We seek an average unit-level return on
invested capital of 30 percent. We plan to continue opening
new restaurants for both our concepts to the extent we achieve
our target rate of return. Although we are currently operating
restaurants exclusively in the Asian niche due to the continued
popularity of Asian cuisine and a relatively lower level of
organized competition in this segment, we would consider
additional expansion opportunities to the extent such ventures
can meet or exceed our return thresholds.
We have also partnered with experienced operators in
international markets through development and licensing
agreements to expand our brands worldwide. Additionally, a
premium line of frozen Asian-style entrées developed under
a licensing agreement became available during fiscal 2010, which
provides another opportunity for consumers to enjoy the
high-quality, intensely flavored cuisine that our guests enjoy
in our restaurants.
20
Our
Challenges
Our business is highly sensitive to changes in guest traffic.
Increases in guest traffic typically drive higher sales, which
improve the leverage of our fixed operating costs and thus
enable us to achieve higher operating margins. As guest traffic
decreases, lower sales may result in decreased leverage that can
lead to deteriorations in our operating margins. In order to
position our brands for success during economic downturns and
recoveries, our operators concentrate on consistent execution of
superior customer service while also focusing on additional
opportunities for operating efficiencies.
The restaurant industry is significantly affected by changes in
discretionary spending patterns, economic conditions, consumer
tastes, lifestyle trends and cost fluctuations. In recent years,
consumers have been under increased economic pressures and as a
result, many have changed their discretionary spending patterns.
Many consumers dine out less frequently than in the past or have
reduced the amount they spend on meals while dining out.
Accordingly, we strive to evolve and refine the critical
elements of our restaurant concepts to help maintain and enhance
the strength of our brands and remain fresh and relevant to our
guests while maintaining a high
value-to-price
perception. We continuously update our menu offerings and have
injected our restaurants with an updated contemporary look and
feel. We also employ marketing initiatives designed to increase
brand awareness and help drive guest traffic.
The restaurant business is intensely competitive with respect to
food quality, price-value relationships, ambiance, service and
location, and many existing restaurants compete with us at each
of our locations. Additionally, the ongoing popularity of Asian
cuisine may result in increased competition from new
Asian-branded concepts as well as non-Asian restaurants and
other food outlets that may expand their Asian-inspired menu
offerings. We also face growing competition as retail outlets
improve the quality and convenience of their meal offerings
potentially resulting in fewer occasions for consumers to dine
out.
Our business is also influenced by the level of corporate travel
and entertainment spending by businesses as a significant
portion of our sales is generated by guests conducting business
at our restaurants. There was a considerable reduction in
business travel, and corporate spending in general, throughout
fiscal 2009 and through the first half of fiscal 2010. Although
our large ticket transactions improved sequentially in the
second half of the year, our fiscal 2010 revenues were
negatively impacted by a decline in corporate spending and large
party transactions.
Our
2010 Financial Results
|
|
|
|
|
Consolidated revenue growth of 1.2 percent to
$1.2 billion, primarily due to sales from new restaurant
openings, an increase in the average ticket at Pei Wei
restaurants and an increase in guest traffic at both Bistro and
Pei Wei restaurants, partially offset by the impact of one fewer
operating week in fiscal 2010;
|
|
|
|
A 1.4 percent decline in consolidated operating margins
resulting from a decline at the Bistro due to labor
inefficiencies from the happy hour menu roll-out partially
offset by a slight increase at Pei Wei primarily due to labor
efficiencies;
|
|
|
|
A 6.6 percent increase in income from continuing
operations, net of tax, to $46.6 million primarily due to
lower preopening expense, lower cost of sales and the net
benefit of discrete items in income tax expense;
|
|
|
|
A 7.5 percent increase in diluted income per share from
continuing operations attributable to PFCB to $2.01 due to a
6.6 percent increase in income from continuing operations,
net of tax, combined with the benefit of lower diluted shares
outstanding, principally resulting from share
repurchases; and
|
|
|
|
Four new Bistro openings and two new Pei Wei openings.
|
Our
2011 Outlook
We anticipate fiscal 2011 consolidated revenue growth of
approximately three to four percent compared to fiscal 2010.
This increase is comprised of higher expected sales during
fiscal 2011 at restaurants that have been open longer than
18 months combined with revenues from nine to thirteen
anticipated new restaurant openings during fiscal 2011 and the
benefit of a full year of revenues for restaurants that opened
during fiscal 2010.
21
We expect to experience higher commodity costs and increased
labor wage rates during fiscal 2011 which will be partially
offset with a slight menu price increase at both concepts.
Despite these cost pressures, we anticipate that fiscal 2011
restaurant operating margins will increase compared to fiscal
2010, primarily due to lapping the impact of the first quarter
of 2010 Bistro Happy Hour rollout combined with a higher
contribution from Global Brand Development businesses. In
addition, we expect an increase in general and administrative
expenses in fiscal 2011, primarily related to higher share-based
compensation expense.
We expect to open three to five new Bistro restaurants and six
to eight new Pei Wei restaurants during fiscal 2011.
Additionally, we expect to reduce diluted shares outstanding as
a result of additional repurchases of our common shares of
approximately $60.0 million during fiscal 2011.
Overall, the Company expects consolidated diluted earnings per
share to range from $2.15 to $2.20 for fiscal 2011, an increase
of approximately 10%.
2011
Development
Bistro
We intend to open three to five new Bistro restaurants in 2011.
Our Bistro restaurants typically range in size from 6,000 to
7,500 square feet and require an average total invested
capital of approximately $3.5 million to $4.0 million
per restaurant (net of estimated tenant incentives). This total
capitalized investment includes the capitalized lease value of
the property, which can vary greatly depending on the specific
trade area. See Risk Factors Development and
Construction Risks. Preopening expenses are expected to
average approximately $350,000 to $400,000 per restaurant during
fiscal 2011.
Pei
Wei
We intend to open six to eight new Pei Wei restaurants. Our Pei
Wei restaurants typically range in size from 2,800 to
3,400 square feet and require an average total invested
capital of approximately $1.5 million per restaurant (net
of estimated tenant incentives). This total capitalized
investment includes the capitalized lease value of the property,
which can vary greatly depending on the specific trade area. See
Risk Factors Development and Construction
Risks. Preopening expenses are expected to average
approximately $140,000 to $160,000 per restaurant during fiscal
2011.
Global
Brand Development
During fiscal 2011, our partners collectively intend to open
seven to ten new Bistro restaurants in international markets.
These new restaurant openings will require no capital investment
from us.
Operating
Statistics
There are several key financial metrics that can be useful in
evaluating and understanding our business. These metrics, which
are widely used throughout the restaurant industry, include
short-term revenue measures such as average weekly sales and
total revenues and long-term profitability measures such as
return on invested capital, each of which is described in
further detail below. We believe it is helpful to review these
measures both in total and by class year (i.e. year of
restaurant opening).
|
|
|
|
|
Average weekly sales represent an average sales amount per
restaurant and helps gauge the changes in traffic, pricing and
brand development. It is not uncommon in the casual dining
industry for new restaurant locations to open with an initial
honeymoon period of higher than normal sales volumes and then
experience a drop-off in sales after initial customer trials.
|
|
|
|
Total revenues by class year helps assess the sales performance
of our new and existing restaurants as well as the growth of
each concept as we continue our expansion strategy.
|
|
|
|
Return on invested capital is a key profitability measure that
provides an indication of the long-term health of our concepts.
This metric is based on a comparison of operating profit to the
average capital invested in our
|
22
|
|
|
|
|
restaurants. We believe return on invested capital is a critical
indicator in evaluating our ability to create long-term value
for our shareholders.

sales for our company-owned Bistro and Pei Wei restaurants based

Critical
Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1
to our consolidated financial statements. The following
discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies,
which are those that require significant judgment.
Share-Based
Compensation
We account for share-based compensation based on fair value
measurement guidance. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing
model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, for
our options and cash-settled liability awards, with the
exception of performance units. These assumptions include
estimating: 1) expected term, 2) common stock price
volatility over the expected term and 3) the number of
awards that will ultimately not vest (forfeitures).
For performance units, fair value is calculated using a Monte
Carlo simulation model which incorporates the historical
performance, volatility and correlation of our stock price and
the Russell 2000 Index.
In February 2009, each of our Co-Chief Executive Officers was
granted an award of 600,000 performance units. The cash value of
the performance units will be equal to the amount, if any, by
which our final average stock price, as defined in the
agreements, exceeds the strike price. The strike price will be
adjusted, either up or down,
23
based on the percentage change in the Russell 2000 Index during
the performance period, as defined in the agreements, which
approximates three years. The performance units were granted in
February 2009, and since the grant date, the Russell 2000 Index
has increased 69% while our stock has appreciated 155%.
The total value of the performance unit awards was originally
subject to a maximum value of $12.50 per unit. During December
2010, the performance unit award associated with one of the
Co-Chief Executive Officers was modified such that the maximum
value per unit was reduced to $9.00 per unit. All other terms
remain the same as specified in the original award agreement.
Total cumulative expense recognized for the performance units
from date of grant through January 2, 2011 was
$5.8 million based on the estimated fair values as of
January 2, 2011 of $8.30 per unit for units with a maximum
value of $12.50 and $6.41 per unit for units with a maximum
value of $9.00. As of January 2, 2011, if the value of the
performance units at settlement date is the maximum value per
unit, we would recognize additional share-based compensation
expense of $7.1 million during fiscal 2011. The amount and
timing of the recognition of additional expense will be
dependent on the estimated fair value at each quarterly
reporting date. Any increases in fair value may not occur
ratably over the remaining four quarters of the award term;
therefore, share-based compensation expense related to the
performance units could vary significantly in future periods.
Additionally, we use assumptions to estimate the expected
forfeiture rate related to restricted stock and cash-settled
liability awards in determining the share-based compensation
expense for these awards. Changes in these assumptions can
materially affect fair value and our estimates of share-based
compensation expense. Consequently, the related amount
recognized in the consolidated statements of income could vary
significantly in future periods.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
We review property and equipment and intangible assets with
finite lives (those assets resulting from the acquisition of
noncontrolling interests in the operating rights of certain of
our restaurants) for impairment when events or circumstances
indicate these assets might be impaired, but at least quarterly.
An analysis is performed at the individual restaurant level and
primarily includes an assessment of historical cash flows and
other relevant facts and circumstances. For restaurants open
greater than two years, negative restaurant-level cash flows
over the previous twelve-month period are considered a potential
impairment indicator. In these situations, we evaluate future
restaurant cash flow projections in conjunction with qualitative
factors and future operating plans. Based on this assessment, we
either (a) continue to monitor these restaurants over the
near-term for evidence of improved performance or
(b) immediately recognize an impairment charge based on the
amount by which the asset carrying value exceeds fair value,
which is based on discounted future cash flows.
In the past, restaurants under monitoring have typically
achieved cash flow improvements in a timely fashion such that no
impairment charge was deemed necessary and the restaurant was
removed from active monitoring. However, an impairment charge
was recognized during fiscal 2008 based on our decision to close
ten underperforming Pei Wei restaurants, including several
locations that were previously being monitored for impairment.
We did not recognize any impairment charges during fiscal 2009
or fiscal 2010.
Our impairment assessment process requires the use of estimates
and assumptions regarding future cash flows and operating
outcomes, which are subject to a significant degree of judgment
based on our experience and knowledge. These estimates can be
significantly impacted by changes in the economic environment,
real estate market conditions and overall operating performance.
At any given time, we are typically actively monitoring a small
number of restaurants and impairment charges could be triggered
in the future if individual restaurant performance does not
improve or if management decides to close that location. Also,
if current economic conditions worsen, additional restaurants
could be placed on active monitoring and potentially trigger
impairment charges in future periods.
Income
Taxes
We provide for income taxes based on our estimate of federal and
state income tax liabilities in the U.S. and international
tax liabilities. These estimates include, among other items,
effective rates for state and local income
24
taxes, allowable tax credits for items such as taxes paid on
reported tip income, estimates related to depreciation and
amortization expense allowable for tax purposes, and the tax
deductibility of certain other items.
Our estimates are based on the information available to us at
the time that we prepare the income tax provision. We generally
file our annual income tax returns several months after our
fiscal year-end at which time we reconcile our original estimate
to the final amounts included in the tax returns. Differences,
if any, between our estimate and the final amounts can result in
adjustments to income tax expense. Additionally, our income tax
returns are subject to audit by federal, state, local and
international governments, generally years after the returns are
filed. The returns under audit could be subject to material
adjustments based on differing interpretations of the tax laws.
On a quarterly basis, we review and update our inventory of tax
positions as necessary to add any new uncertain positions taken,
or to remove previously identified uncertain positions that have
been adequately resolved. Additionally, uncertain positions may
be re-measured as warranted by changes in facts or law.
Accounting for uncertain tax positions requires significant
judgments, including estimating the amount, timing and
likelihood of ultimate settlement. Although we believe that
these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from
these estimates.
Lease
Obligations
We lease all of our restaurant properties. At the inception of
the lease, each property is evaluated to determine whether the
lease will be accounted for as an operating or capital lease.
The term of the lease used for this evaluation includes renewal
option periods only in instances in which the exercise of the
renewal option can be reasonably assured and failure to exercise
such option would result in an economic penalty.
There is potential for variability in the rent holiday period,
which begins on the possession date and ends on the store open
date, during which no cash rent payments are typically due under
the terms of the lease. Construction-related factors may affect
the length of the rent holiday period. Extension of the rent
holiday period due to delays in restaurant opening will result
in greater preopening rent expense recognized during the rent
holiday period and can result in lower occupancy expense during
the rest of the lease term (post-opening).
For leases that contain rent escalations, we recognize rent
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term beginning
upon our possession of the premises. Many of our leases contain
provisions that require additional rental payments based upon
restaurant sales volume (contingent rent).
Contingent rent is recognized as rent expense in the period
incurred. This results in variability in occupancy expense as a
percentage of revenues over the term of the lease in restaurants
where we pay contingent rent.
Management makes judgments regarding the probable term for each
restaurant property lease, which can impact the classification
and accounting for a lease as capital or operating, the
escalations in payments that are taken into consideration when
calculating straight-line rent and the term over which tenant
incentives received from landlords in connection with certain
operating leases for each restaurant are amortized. From time to
time, based on current facts, circumstances and expectations of
future results, we may make changes in our assumptions of the
likelihood of renewal at the end of the lease term. These
judgments may produce materially different amounts of
depreciation, amortization and rent expense than would be
reported if different assumed lease terms were used.
Self
Insurance
We are self-insured for a significant portion of our current and
prior years exposures related to our workers
compensation, general liability, medical and dental programs. We
have paid to our insurance carrier or claims administrator
amounts that approximate the cost of claims known to date and we
have accrued additional liabilities for our estimate of ultimate
costs related to those claims, including known claims and an
actuarially determined estimate of incurred but not yet reported
claims. We develop these estimates using historical experience
factors to estimate the ultimate claim exposure. Our
self-insurance liabilities are actuarially determined and
consider estimates of expected losses, based on statistical
analyses of our actual historical trends as well as historical
industry data. If actual claims experience differs from our
assumptions and estimates, changes in our insurance reserves
would impact the expense recorded in our consolidated income
statements.
25
Partnership
Structure
We utilize a partnership philosophy to facilitate the
development, leadership and operation of our restaurants.
Historically, this philosophy was embodied in a traditional
legal partnership structure, which included capital
contributions from our partners in exchange for an ownership
stake in the profits and losses of our restaurants. Under this
legal partnership program, each partner who wished to
participate in our legal partnership structure, to the extent
applicable, was required to make a cash capital contribution in
exchange for a specified interest in the partnership. The
ownership interest purchased by each partner generally ranged
between two and ten percent of the restaurant or region the
partner oversees. Generally, no more than ten percent of an
individual restaurant was owned in total by noncontrolling
partners. We performed an assessment of what the imputed fair
value of these interests might be for a passive equity investor
(i.e. not someone actually working in the restaurant), utilizing
a discounted cash flow model and updated assumptions based on
the results of an annual valuation analysis. This methodology
involved the use of various estimates relating to future cash
flow projections and discount rates for which significant
judgments were required. We recognized any excess of the imputed
fair value of these interests, determined by using the
discounted cash flow model, over the cash contribution paid by
our partners as partner investment expense upon purchase by the
partner of the respective interest.
At the end of a specific term (generally five years), we have
the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the
noncontrolling interest in the partners respective
restaurant or region at fair value. The estimated fair value of
the noncontrolling interest is determined by reference to
current industry purchase metrics as well as the historical cash
flows or net income of the subject restaurant or region. We have
the option to pay the agreed upon purchase price in cash over a
period of time not to exceed five years. Given that there is no
public market for these interests, the fair value determinations
are subjective and require the use of various estimates for
which significant judgments are required. Prior to fiscal 2009,
any excess of the purchase price over the imputed fair value was
recorded as an intangible asset and amortized over approximately
fifteen years for our Bistro restaurants and approximately ten
years for our Pei Wei restaurants. Beginning in fiscal 2009 upon
the adoption of new accounting guidance on noncontrolling
interests, an intangible asset is no longer recognized upon
buyout of noncontrolling interests. Instead, any excess of the
purchase price over the imputed fair value is recognized as a
reduction to additional paid-in capital in equity.
Effective the beginning of fiscal 2007 for new store openings at
the Bistro and effective April 2010 for new store openings at
Pei Wei, a different partnership program is employed to achieve
the same goal. At the restaurant level, our partners at stores
opened on or after the effective dates (still
partners in the philosophical, but not legal, sense)
no longer have a direct ownership stake in the profits and
losses of restaurants, but are instead eligible to receive
monthly incentive payments based upon the profitability of their
respective restaurants, as well as participate in an incentive
program that rewards improvements in the operating performance
of their respective restaurants.
In addition, we no longer recognize partner investment expense
for new restaurant openings. Incentive payments made to
individuals participating in the new program are classified as
compensation expense rather than as net income attributable to
noncontrolling interests. Accordingly, in the consolidated
statements of income, compensation expense for our
restaurant-specific Operating and Culinary Partners is reflected
as labor expense and for our
multi-unit
Market Partners, Regional Vice Presidents and Bistro Market
Chefs as general and administrative expense.
Results
of Operations
We operate on a 52/53-week year, with the fiscal year ending on
the Sunday closest to December 31. Fiscal years 2010 and
2008 were each comprised of 52 weeks and fiscal year 2009
was comprised of 53 weeks.
The discussion of changes in operating results includes
quantification, where meaningful, of the factors that contribute
to the change based on a percentage of revenues
and/or
absolute dollars. The sum of the changes quantified in the
explanations may not total the changes displayed in the tables
below as there are less significant changes in the income
statement line items that are not the main contributors to the
change.

Revenues
Our revenues are derived primarily from food and beverage sales.
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: The increase in revenues was primarily
attributable to incremental new store revenues of
$29.0 million, comprised of a full year of revenues from
the eight new stores that opened during fiscal 2009 and revenues
generated by the four new restaurants which opened during fiscal
2010. The increase was partially offset by a $25.1 million
decrease in revenues for stores that opened prior to fiscal 2009
including the impact of one fewer operating week during fiscal
2010 compared to fiscal 2009. The decrease was also due to a
decline in the average ticket of 1.4%, which includes the
benefit of a menu price increase, partially offset by an
increase in overall guest traffic of 1.3%.
Pei Wei: The increase in revenues was
primarily attributable to incremental new restaurant revenues of
$8.2 million, comprised of a full year of revenues from the
seven new restaurants that opened during fiscal 2009 and
revenues generated by the two new restaurants which opened
during fiscal 2010. The increase was partially offset by the
decrease in revenues generated by restaurants open prior to
fiscal 2009. Due to the impact of one fewer operating week
during fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009, revenue at these
locations decreased $0.8 million partially offset by an
increase in the average ticket of 1.8%, which includes the
benefit of a menu price increase, combined with a slight
increase in overall guest traffic of 0.1%.
Costs and
Expenses
Cost of
Sales
Cost of sales is comprised of the cost of food and beverages.
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Cost of sales as a percentage of
revenues decreased primarily due to the benefit of favorable
commodity pricing, primarily resulting from beef and wok oil
(−0.4%).
Pei Wei: Cost of sales as a percentage of
revenues decreased primarily due to the benefit of favorable
commodity pricing, primarily resulting from beef and wok oil
(−0.6%) partially offset by the net impact of product mix
shifts and yield fluctuations (+0.4%).
Labor
Labor expenses consist of restaurant management salaries, hourly
staff payroll costs, other payroll-related items, workers
compensation costs and imputed partner bonus expense. Imputed
partner bonus expense represents
28
the portion of restaurant-level operating results that is
allocable to certain noncontrolling partners, but is presented
as bonus expense for accounting purposes. Each segment
contributed as follows:
Bistro: Labor expenses increased primarily due
to $9.5 million of additional labor costs at our
restaurants that opened during fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 and a
$2.7 million increase in incentive accruals. These
increases were partially offset by a $3.4 million decrease
in culinary labor costs resulting from scheduling efficiencies
partially offset by higher average hourly wage rates, a
$0.6 million decrease in management salaries, and a
$0.4 million decrease in workers compensation expense
resulting from lower than anticipated claim development.
As a percentage of revenues, labor expenses increased primarily
due to an increase in incentive accruals (+0.3%), higher average
hourly wage rates (+0.2%), and higher payroll taxes (+0.1%).
Pei Wei: Labor expenses increased primarily
due to $2.6 million of additional labor expenses at our
restaurants that opened during fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009
partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in manager
salaries and a $0.2 million decrease in management
incentive accruals.
As a percentage of revenues, labor expenses decreased primarily
due to lower manager salaries (−0.3%), the benefit of
improved leverage from higher average weekly sales (-0.1%), and
lower management incentive accruals (−0.1%).
Operating
Operating expenses consist primarily of various restaurant-level
costs such as repairs and maintenance, utilities and marketing,
certain of which are variable and may fluctuate with revenues.
Also, expenditures associated with marketing programs are
discretionary in nature and the timing and amount of marketing
spend will vary. Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Operating expenses increased primarily
due to $5.1 million of additional operating expenses at our
restaurants that opened during fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 and
$0.6 million in higher marketing spend partially offset by
a $1.5 million reduction in restaurant supply and printing
costs, a $1.3 million decrease in repairs, maintenance and
equipment costs and $0.8 million lower utilities costs.
Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased
primarily due to the impact of decreased leverage resulting from
one fewer operating week during fiscal 2010 (+0.1%) as well as
higher marketing spend (+0.1%) partially offset by favorable
restaurant supply costs (−0.1%).
Pei Wei: Operating expenses increased
primarily due to $1.5 million of additional operating
expenses at our restaurants that opened during fiscal 2010 and
fiscal 2009 and $1.0 million higher marketing spend
partially offset by a $0.3 million reduction in restaurant
supply costs.
Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased
primarily due to higher marketing spend (+0.3%) and the impact
of decreased leverage resulting from one fewer operating week
during fiscal 2010 (+0.1%) partially offset by lower restaurant
supply costs (−0.1%) and the benefit of improved leverage
from higher average weekly sales (−0.1%).
Occupancy
Occupancy costs include both fixed and variable portions of
rent, common area maintenance charges, property and general
liability insurance and property taxes. Each segment contributed
as follows:
Bistro: Occupancy costs increased primarily
due to $1.8 million of additional occupancy costs at our
restaurants that opened during fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 and a
$0.7 million increase in property tax expense.
Occupancy costs as a percentage of revenues increased due to the
impact of decreased leverage resulting from one fewer operating
week during fiscal 2010 (+0.1%), higher property tax expense in
the current fiscal year (+0.1%), and the impact of decreased
leverage on lower average weekly sales (+0.1%).
29
Pei Wei: Occupancy costs increased primarily
due to $0.7 million of additional occupancy costs at our
restaurants that opened during fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 and a
$0.1 million increase in property tax expense.
Occupancy costs as a percentage of revenues were consistent
compared to the prior fiscal year primarily due to the impact of
decreased leverage resulting from one fewer operating week
during fiscal 2010 (+0.1%) and higher property tax expense
(+0.1%), offset primarily by the benefit of improved leverage
from higher average weekly sales (−0.1%).
General
and Administrative
General and administrative expenses are comprised of costs
associated with corporate and administrative functions that
support restaurant development and operations and provide
infrastructure to support future growth including, but not
limited to, management and staff compensation, employee
benefits, travel, legal and professional fees and technology.
The Plan participants realized and unrealized holding
gains and losses related to liabilities associated with the
Restoration Plan, a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, are
included within general and administrative expense, with a
corresponding offset for the Restoration Plan investments in
interest and other income (expense), net.
Consolidated general and administrative costs decreased
primarily due to lower management salaries of $1.2 million
due to decreased headcount and lower legal costs of
$0.6 million, partially offset by higher share-based
compensation expense of $0.6 million principally resulting
from an increase in fair value of the performance units and
other cash-settled awards.
Depreciation
and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses include the depreciation
of fixed assets, gains and losses on disposal of assets and the
amortization of intangible assets, software and non-transferable
liquor license fees. Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Depreciation and amortization
increased primarily due to an increase of $1.9 million
related to new restaurants that opened during fiscal 2010 and
fiscal 2009, an increase of $0.6 million due to leasehold
improvement additions, and an increase of $0.5 million due
to leasehold improvement asset life adjustments. These increases
were partially offset by a $0.9 million reduction due to
plateware assets rolled out system-wide that were fully
depreciated during fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009.
Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenues
increased primarily due to the impact of decreased leverage
resulting from one fewer operating week during fiscal 2010
(+0.1%) and the impact of decreased leverage on lower average
weekly sales (+0.1%). These increases were partially offset by
plateware assets rolled out system-wide that were fully
depreciated during fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 (−0.1%).
Pei Wei: Depreciation and amortization
increased primarily due to an increase of $0.6 million
related to new restaurants that opened during fiscal 2010 and
fiscal 2009 and an increase of $0.5 million due to the
addition of digital menu boards. These increases were partially
offset by a $0.5 million reduction in depreciation due to
furniture, fixtures, and equipment and smallwares assets that
were fully depreciated during fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009.
As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization
increased primarily due to the addition of digital menu boards
(+0.2%) and the impact of decreased leverage resulting from one
fewer operating week during fiscal 2010 (+0.1%). These increases
were partially offset by a reduction in depreciation due to
furniture, fixtures, and equipment and smallwares assets that
were fully depreciated during fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009
(−0.2%) and the benefit of improved leverage from higher
average weekly sales (−0.1%).
Preopening
Expense
Preopening expense, consisting primarily of manager salaries,
employee payroll and related training costs incurred prior to
the opening of a restaurant, is expensed as incurred. Preopening
expense also includes the accrual
30
for straight-line rent recorded during the period between date
of possession and the restaurant opening date for our leased
restaurant locations. Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Preopening expense decreased primarily
due to the impact of opening four new restaurants during fiscal
2010 compared to eight new restaurants during fiscal 2009.
Pei Wei: Preopening expense decreased
primarily due to the impact of opening two new restaurants in
fiscal 2010 compared to seven new restaurants in fiscal 2009.
Partner
Investment Expense
Partner investment expense represents the difference between the
imputed fair value of noncontrolling interests at the time our
partners invested in our restaurants and our partners cash
contributions for those ownership interests. Additionally, for
those interests that are bought out prior to the restaurant
reaching maturity (typically after five years of operation),
partner investment expense includes a reversal of previously
recognized expense for the difference between the fair value of
the noncontrolling interest at inception date and the fair value
at the date of repurchase, to the extent that the former is
greater. Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: The increase in partner investment
expense resulted from fewer early buyouts of noncontrolling
interests during fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009.
Pei Wei: Partner investment expense increased
primarily due to the impact of fewer early buyouts during fiscal
2010 compared to fiscal 2009. The increase is partially offset
by the change in the partnership program beginning the second
quarter of fiscal 2010. As a result, partner investment expense
is no longer recognized at the time a new restaurant opens.
Interest
and Other Income (Expense), Net
Interest expense primarily consists of interest costs in excess
of amounts capitalized related to our outstanding credit line
(to the extent balances are outstanding) and other borrowings,
as well as accretion expense related to our conditional asset
retirement obligations. Interest income earned primarily relates
to advances under the loan facility for fiscal 2010 and
interest-bearing overnight deposits for fiscal 2009. Realized
and unrealized holding gains and losses related to investments
in the Restoration Plan are included within other income
(expense), with a corresponding offset for the Restoration Plan
liabilities in general and administrative expense.
The change in consolidated interest and other income (expense),
net was primarily due to $1.2 million lower interest
expense resulting from the repayment of the entire
$40.0 million in outstanding credit line borrowings during
the second quarter of 2010, partially offset by a
$0.2 million decrease in unrealized holding gains
associated with investments in the Restoration Plan.
Provision
for Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate from continuing operations, including
discrete items and deduction for noncontrolling interests, was
26.9% for fiscal 2010 compared to 29.7% for fiscal 2009. Our
effective tax rate is impacted by recurring items, such as the
FICA tip credit, as well as discrete items that may arise in any
given year but are not consistent from year to year. The
decrease in the effective tax rate in fiscal 2010 is primarily
due to the following net discrete tax benefits:
(1) decrease in state tax expense related to the
reconciliation of prior year tax provision to final tax returns;
(2) favorable settlements of state income tax audits and
(3) interest income related to federal amended returns
filed in fiscal 2008.
The income tax rate for both fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009
differed from the expected provision for income taxes, which is
derived by applying the statutory income tax rate, primarily as
a result of FICA tip credits. In fiscal 2010, income from
continuing operations increased at a greater rate than FICA tip
credits generated as compared to fiscal 2009. Pei Wei and Global
Brand Development employees are not tipped. As we do not earn
FICA tip credits from the Pei Wei and Global Brand Development
employees and as the proportion of net income contributed by Pei
Wei and Global Brand Development grows, we expect our effective
tax rate to increase.
31
Management has evaluated all positive and negative evidence
concerning the realizability of deferred tax assets and has
determined that, with the exception of a small amount of state
net operating losses, we will recognize sufficient future
taxable income to realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets.
Income
(Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax
The results of the ten closed Pei Wei restaurants are classified
as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The change
in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax is
primarily due to charges of $1.4 million recognized during
fiscal 2009 related to estimated and actual lease termination
costs. See Fiscal 2009 compared to Fiscal 2008 Loss from
Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax section for further
discussion.
Net
Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests represents
the portion of our net income which is attributable to the
collective ownership interests of our noncontrolling partners.
In certain of our restaurants, we historically employed a
partnership management structure whereby we entered into a
series of partnership agreements with our regional managers,
certain of our general managers and certain of our executive
chefs. Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: The change in net income attributable
to noncontrolling interests was primarily due to the full year
impact of noncontrolling interest buyouts that occurred during
fiscal 2009 and, to a lesser extent, the impact of fiscal 2010
noncontrolling interest buyouts. These buyouts reduced the
number of noncontrolling interests from 40 at the beginning of
fiscal 2009 to 14 as of January 2, 2011.
Pei Wei: The change in net income attributable
to noncontrolling interests was primarily due to the impact of
130 noncontrolling interest buyouts occurring since the
beginning of fiscal 2009 partially offset by the impact of
higher restaurant net income.
32
Fiscal
2009 compared to Fiscal 2008
Our consolidated operating results for the fiscal years ended
January 3, 2010 (fiscal 2009), comprised of 53 weeks,
and December 28, 2008 (fiscal 2008), comprised of
52 weeks, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Revenues
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: The increase in revenues was
attributable to incremental new store revenues of
$44.7 million, comprised of a full year of revenues from
the seventeen new stores that opened during fiscal 2008 and
revenues generated by the eight new Bistro restaurants that
opened during fiscal 2009. The increase was partially offset by
a $39.1 million decline in revenues for stores that opened
prior to fiscal 2008, due to a significant reduction in overall
guest traffic combined with a slight decline in the average
check. Fiscal 2009 also includes the benefit from one extra
operating week compared to fiscal 2008.
Pei Wei: The increase in revenues was
attributable to incremental new store revenues of
$19.1 million, comprised of a full year of revenues from
the 25 new stores that opened during fiscal 2008 and revenues
generated by the 7 new Pei Wei restaurants that opened during
fiscal 2009. The remainder of the increase was due to a
$5.4 million increase in revenues for stores that opened
prior to fiscal 2008, as well as a slight increase in overall
guest traffic partially offset by a slight decline in the
average check. Fiscal 2009 also includes the benefit from one
extra operating week compared to fiscal 2008.

Costs and
Expenses
Cost of
Sales
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Cost of sales as a percentage of
revenues decreased primarily due to net favorable product mix
shifts and operational efficiencies (−0.8%) partially
offset by the net impact of unfavorable commodity pricing,
primarily due to wok oil and rice partially offset by produce
(+0.2%).
Pei Wei: Cost of sales as a percentage of
revenues decreased primarily due to net favorable product mix
shifts and operational efficiencies (−0.5%) partially
offset by the net impact of unfavorable commodity pricing,
primarily due to wok oil and rice partially offset by produce
(+0.5%).
Labor
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Labor expenses decreased primarily due
to a net $13.5 million decrease in hourly labor due to
scheduling efficiencies and lower labor hours consistent with
sales trends partially offset by higher average hourly wage
rates, $1.5 million decrease in payroll taxes,
$1.0 million decrease in workers compensation expense
resulting from lower than anticipated claim development, and
$0.6 million decrease in management salaries. These
decreases were partially offset by $14.0 million of
additional labor expenses at our restaurants that opened during
fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, $1.2 million higher health
insurance, and $0.4 million higher incentive costs net of a
reduction in imputed partner bonus expense.
As a percentage of revenues, labor expenses decreased primarily
due to improved labor efficiencies in culinary and hospitality
positions (−1.0%) and the benefit of reduced workers
compensation insurance liabilities resulting from lower than
anticipated claim development (−0.1%). These declines were
partially offset by the impact of wage rate pressure (+0.3%),
the impact of decreased leverage on lower average weekly sales
on the portion of labor expenses that is fixed in nature
(+0.3%), and higher health insurance (+0.2%) and incentive
(+0.1%) costs.
Pei Wei: Labor expenses increased primarily
due to $6.2 million of additional labor expenses at our
restaurants that opened during fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008 and
$0.5 million higher management incentive accruals partially
offset by $0.3 million lower workers compensation
insurance expense resulting from lower than anticipated claim
development and a $0.3 million decrease in manager salaries.
As a percentage of revenues, labor expenses decreased primarily
due to improved labor efficiencies in culinary and hospitality
positions (−0.9%), lower manager salaries resulting from
reduced management headcount (−0.4%), and the benefit of
reduced workers compensation insurance expense resulting
from lower than anticipated claim development (−0.1%).
These declines were partially offset by wage rate pressure
(+0.4%), higher management incentive accruals (+0.1%), and the
impact of decreased leverage on lower average weekly sales on
the portion of labor expenses that is fixed in nature (+0.1%).
Operating
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Operating expenses increased primarily
due to $7.6 million higher operating expenses at our
restaurants that opened during fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008
partially offset by $3.3 million lower utilities expense
resulting from favorable rates and lower usage,
$1.2 million lower credit card fees and $1.1 million
lower restaurant supplies expense consistent with sales trends.
Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased
primarily due to the impact of decreased leverage on lower
average weekly sales on the portion of operating costs that is
fixed in nature (+0.5%) and higher repairs and maintenance
expense (+0.2%). These increases were partially offset by lower
35
utilities costs resulting from favorable rates and lower usage
(−0.4%) and the benefit of improved leverage resulting
from an extra week of revenues in fiscal 2009 (−0.1%).
Pei Wei: Operating expenses increased
primarily due to $3.5 million in additional operating costs
at our restaurants that opened during fiscal 2009 and fiscal
2008, a $1.0 million increase in repairs and maintenance
expense, and $0.3 million higher marketing spend partially
offset by $1.2 million lower utilities costs resulting from
favorable rates and a $0.6 million decrease in menu
printing costs.
Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased
primarily due to lower utilities costs resulting from favorable
rates (−0.5%) and lower menu printing costs (−0.2%)
partially offset by higher repairs and maintenance costs (+0.3%).
Occupancy
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Occupancy costs decreased primarily
due to $1.8 million lower contingent rent expense resulting
from lower average weekly sales, $0.7 million lower general
liability insurance, and $0.4 million lower common area
maintenance expense partially offset by $2.3 million of
additional occupancy costs at our restaurants that opened during
fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008.
Occupancy costs as a percentage of revenues decreased primarily
due to lower contingent rent expense resulting from lower
average weekly sales (−0.1%), the benefit of improved
leverage resulting from an extra week of revenues in fiscal 2009
(−0.1%), and lower general liability insurance
(−0.1%). These decreases were partially offset by the
impact of decreased leverage on lower average weekly sales
(+0.4%).
Pei Wei: Occupancy costs increased primarily
due to $1.6 million of additional occupancy costs at our
restaurants that opened during fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008
partially offset by $0.2 million lower property tax expense.
Occupancy costs as a percentage of revenues decreased primarily
due to the benefit of improved leverage resulting from an extra
week of revenues in fiscal 2009 (−0.1%) and lower property
tax expense (−0.1%) partially offset by the impact of
decreased leverage on lower average weekly sales (+0.1%).
General
and Administrative
Consolidated general and administrative costs increased
primarily due to $3.4 million higher management incentive
accruals, higher share-based compensation expense of
$2.1 million, principally resulting from the performance
unit award grants issued to our co-CEOs during the first quarter
of fiscal 2009 and the cash-settled liability awards issued
during fiscal 2009, as well as additional compensation expense
resulting from Plan participants unrealized holding gains
associated with Restoration Plan liabilities ($0.8 million
of gains in fiscal 2009 compared to $0.4 million of losses
in fiscal 2008). These increases were partially offset by
$1.0 million in lower management salaries due to decreased
headcount and a reduction in other administrative support costs.
Fiscal 2008 also includes $2.0 million of cash and non-cash
charges related to a separation agreement with the former Pei
Wei president which included a severance payment, accelerated
vesting of unvested options and the extension of the expiration
date of all outstanding stock options.
Depreciation
and Amortization
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Depreciation and amortization
increased primarily due to $3.5 million in additional
depreciation on restaurants that opened during fiscal 2009 and
fiscal 2008 and an increase of $1.0 million due to
leasehold improvement additions partially offset by a decrease
of $0.9 million due to smallwares assets which were
depreciated to salvage value during fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009.
36
As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization
increased primarily due to the impact of decreased leverage on
lower average weekly sales (+0.4%) partially offset by the
benefit of improved leverage resulting from an extra week of
revenues in fiscal 2009 (−0.1%).
Pei Wei: Depreciation and amortization
increased primarily due to $1.6 million of additional
depreciation on restaurants that opened during fiscal 2009 and
fiscal 2008.
As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization
increased primarily due to decreased leverage on lower average
weekly sales (+0.1%), computer equipment additions (+0.1%), and
higher asset retirements (+0.1%) partially offset by the benefit
of improved leverage resulting from an extra week of revenues in
fiscal 2009 (−0.1%).
Preopening
Expense
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Preopening expense decreased primarily
due to the impact of opening eight new restaurants in fiscal
2009 compared to opening seventeen new restaurants during fiscal
2008.
Pei Wei: Preopening expense decreased
primarily due to the impact of opening 7 new restaurants during
fiscal 2009 compared to opening 25 new restaurants during fiscal
2008.
Partner
Investment Expense
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: The increase in partner investment
expense resulted from fewer early buyouts of noncontrolling
interests during fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008.
Pei Wei: The decrease in partner investment
expense is primarily due to the impact of opening fewer new
restaurants during fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008.
Interest
and Other Income (Expense), Net
The change in consolidated interest and other income (expense),
net was primarily due to a $1.2 million reduction in
interest expense resulting from the repayment of
$40.0 million of our outstanding credit line borrowings in
fiscal 2009. Additionally, unrealized holding gains of
$0.8 million in fiscal 2009 compared to unrealized holding
losses of $0.4 million in fiscal 2008 associated with
investments in the Restoration Plan, $0.4 million lower
capitalized interest and $0.3 million lower interest income
contributed to the change.
Provision
for Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate from continuing operations, including
discrete items and deduction for noncontrolling interests, was
29.7% for fiscal 2009 compared to 25.8% for fiscal 2008. Prior
fiscal year includes the impact of a change in estimate related
to amended tax returns. Additionally, fiscal 2009 state tax
expense increased over fiscal 2008. This is due to an increase
in state tax filings, impacts of state tax reform measures and
changes in filing methodology as a result of audits. The income
tax rate for both fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008 differed from the
expected provision for income taxes, which is derived by
applying the statutory income tax rate, primarily as a result of
FICA tip credits. In fiscal 2009, income from continuing
operations increased at a greater rate than FICA tip credits
generated as compared to fiscal 2008. Because there are no
tipped employees at Pei Wei, as Pei Wei contributes more net
income, and if Bistros income from operations grows at a
rate greater than revenue growth, the impact of Bistros
tip credit on the companys effective tax rate will
continue to decrease.
Management has evaluated all positive and negative evidence
concerning the realizability of deferred tax assets and has
determined that, with the exception of a small amount of state
net operating losses, we will recognize sufficient future
taxable income to realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets.
37
Loss
from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax
The results of the ten closed Pei Wei restaurants are classified
as discontinued operations for all periods presented. During
fiscal 2009, we recognized pretax charges of $1.4 million
related to estimated and actual lease termination costs.
As part of ongoing profitability initiatives, we closed ten
underperforming Pei Wei restaurants in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2008. This decision, which was reached in the third
quarter of fiscal 2008, was the result of a rigorous evaluation
of our entire store portfolio. We reviewed each locations
past and present operating performance combined with projected
future results. The locations selected for closure represent
restaurants with lower profitability that were not projected to
provide acceptable returns in the foreseeable future.
During the second half of fiscal 2008, we recognized non-cash
asset impairment charges of $7.5 million ($4.6 million
net of tax) related to the write-off of the carrying value of
long-lived assets associated with the ten Pei Wei store
closures. We also recognized additional pretax charges of
$2.6 million related to estimated and actual lease
termination costs and $0.1 million related to severance
payments made in connection with the store closures. These
charges as well as all historical operations related to the
closed stores are reflected within discontinued operations in
the consolidated financial statements for all years presented as
further discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements.
Net
Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: The change in net income attributable
to noncontrolling interests was primarily due to the full year
impact of noncontrolling interest buyouts that occurred during
fiscal 2008 and, to a lesser, extent, the impact of
noncontrolling interest buyouts occurring during fiscal 2009.
These buyouts reduced the number of noncontrolling interests
from 133 at the beginning of fiscal 2008 to 20 as of
January 3, 2010.
Pei Wei: Net income attributable to
noncontrolling interests increased primarily due to the impact
of higher restaurant net income and, to a lesser extent, a
cumulative adjustment of prior period expense, partially offset
by the impact of 132 noncontrolling interest buyouts occurring
since the beginning of fiscal 2008.
38
Quarterly
Results
The following table sets forth certain unaudited quarterly
information for the eight fiscal quarters in the two-year period
ended January 2, 2011, expressed as a percentage of
revenues, except for revenues which are expressed in thousands.
This quarterly information has been prepared on a basis
consistent with the audited financial statements and, in the
opinion of management, includes all adjustments, consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of the information for the periods presented. Our
quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly as a
result of a variety of factors, and operating results for any
quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for a full
fiscal year.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Cash
Flow
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by operations
and available borrowings under our credit facility.
Historically, our capital resources have primarily been used for
our construction of new restaurants. More recently, our capital
resources have been used for repayments of long-term debt,
repurchases of our common stock and payments of cash dividends.
The following table presents a summary of our cash flows for the
past three fiscal years (in thousands):

Operating
Activities
Our funding requirements since inception have been met through
sales of equity securities, debt financing and cash flows from
operations. Net cash provided by operating activities exceeded
net income for the periods shown principally due to the effect
of depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation
expense, partially offset by a net increase in operating assets
and a net decrease in operating liabilities in the current year.
The change in operating activities is primarily due to higher
cash paid for income taxes, changes in lease obligations and
lower receivables due from third-party gift card sales.
Investing
Activities
Investment activities primarily related to capital expenditures
of $37.1 million, $49.9 million and $87.2 million
in fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and advances
under the loan facility to True Food Kitchen of
$5.2 million during fiscal 2010. Capital expenditures have
declined since fiscal 2008 primarily due to the impact of
opening fewer new restaurants during fiscal 2010 and 2009 (6 new
restaurants during fiscal 2010 and 15 new restaurants during
fiscal 2009 compared to 42 new restaurants during fiscal 2008).
Also included is capitalized interest of $0.1 million,
$0.3 million and $0.7 million in fiscal years 2010,
2009 and 2008, respectively.
40
The following table provides a summary of capital expenditures
by concept and Shared Services and Other as well as repairs and
maintenance expense that is included in operating expense for
the concepts and general and administrative expense for Shared
Services and Other in the consolidated statements of income for
fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008. New company restaurants
includes capital expenditures for restaurants that have been
open 13 months or less as well as restaurants that will
open in future periods. Existing restaurants and
support includes capital expenditures for restaurants that
have been open longer than 13 months as well as capital
expenditures associated with Shared Services and Other.

We intend to open three to five new Bistro restaurants and six
to eight new Pei Wei restaurants in fiscal 2011. We expect that
our planned future Bistro restaurants will require, on average,
a total cash investment per restaurant of approximately
$2.5 million to $3.0 million (net of estimated tenant
incentives). We expect to spend approximately $350,000 to
$400,000 per restaurant for preopening costs. Total cash
investment for each Pei Wei restaurant is expected to average
$750,000 to $850,000 (net of estimated tenant incentives) and we
expect to spend approximately $140,000 to $160,000 per
restaurant for preopening costs. The anticipated total cash
investment per restaurant is based on recent historical averages
coupled with expectations of future costs. We expect total gross
capital expenditures for fiscal 2011 to approximate
$45.0 million to $50.0 million ($40.0 million to
$45.0 million, net of tenant incentives).
Financing
Activities
Financing activities during fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008 included
debt repayments of $41.2 million, $45.9 million and
$12.5 million, respectively, and repurchases of common
stock of $41.1 million, $39.7 million and
$10.0 million, respectively. Additionally, financing
activities included proceeds from stock options exercised and
employee stock purchases of $25.8 million,
$3.0 million and $1.1 million during fiscal 2010, 2009
and 2008. During fiscal 2010, we began paying cash dividends
which totaled $14.5 million related to the first three
quarters of the fiscal year. Financing activities also included
purchases of noncontrolling interests, distributions to
noncontrolling interest partners and the tax benefit from
share-based compensation.
41
Future
Capital Requirements
Our capital requirements, including development costs related to
the opening of additional restaurants, have historically been
significant. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of
our available funds will depend on many factors, including the
operating performance of our restaurants, the pace of expansion,
real estate markets, site locations and the nature of the
arrangements negotiated with landlords. During fiscal 2011, we
plan to continue returning excess capital to our shareholders in
the form of repurchases of our common stock and payments of cash
dividends.
In the longer term, in the unlikely event that additional
capital is required, we may seek to raise such capital through
public or private equity or debt financing. Future capital
funding transactions may result in dilution to current
shareholders. We cannot ensure that such capital will be
available on favorable terms, if at all.
Credit
Facility
The senior credit facility (Credit Facility) with
several commercial financial institutions, allows for borrowings
of up to $75.0 million and expires on August 30, 2013.
The Credit Facility contains customary representations,
warranties, negative and affirmative covenants, including a
requirement to maintain a maximum leverage ratio, as defined, of
2.5:1 and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined, of
1.25:1, as well as customary events of default and certain
default provisions that could result in acceleration of the
Credit Facility. We were in compliance with these restrictions
and conditions as of January 2, 2011 as our leverage ratio
was 0.93:1 and the fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.53:1.
During the first half of fiscal 2010, we fully repaid total
outstanding borrowings of $40.0 million under the Credit
Facility and currently have $17.2 million committed for the
issuance of letters of credit, which are required by insurance
companies for our workers compensation and general
liability insurance programs. Available borrowings under the
Credit Facility were $57.8 million at January 2, 2011.
Share
Repurchase Program
Under current and previous share repurchase programs authorized
by our Board of Directors, we have repurchased a total of
6.0 million shares of our common stock for
$187.1 million at an average price of $31.32 since July
2006. Included in this total are 0.9 million shares of our
common stock repurchased during fiscal 2010 for
$41.1 million at an average price of $45.22.
$0.3 million of the amount repurchased during fiscal 2010
relates to shares that were repurchased under the previous share
repurchase program that expired December 31, 2009 but did
not settle until after January 3, 2010.
At January 2, 2011, there remains $59.2 million
available under our current share repurchase authorization of
$100.0 million, which expires December 2011. We plan to
repurchase the remaining shares available under the current
share repurchase authorization during fiscal 2011.
Cash
Dividends
In February 2010, the Board of Directors approved the initiation
of a quarterly variable cash dividend based on our desire to
consistently return excess cash flow to our shareholders. The
amount of the cash dividend is calculated based on 45% of our
quarterly net income and totaled $0.92 per share in fiscal 2010.
We anticipate declaring approximately $22 million to
$23 million of cash dividends related to fiscal 2011
earnings. Cash dividends are paid quarterly in arrears. Based on
seasonal fluctuations in quarterly net income, the amount of
cash dividend payments may fluctuate between quarters.
Based on the Board of Directors authorization, on
February 16, 2011 we announced a cash dividend of $0.29 per
share which will be paid March 14, 2011 to all shareholders
of record at the close of business on February 28, 2011.
Based on shares outstanding at February 11, 2011, the total
dividend payment will approximate $6.6 million during the
first quarter of fiscal 2011.
42
Partnership
Activities
As of January 2, 2011, there were 25 partners within our
partnership system representing 82 partnership interests. During
fiscal 2010, we had the opportunity to purchase 11
noncontrolling interests which had reached the five-year
threshold period during the year, as well as 50 additional
noncontrolling interests which (i) had reached the end of
their initial five-year term in prior years (ii) related to
partners who left the Company prior to the initial five-year
term or (iii) related to partners who requested an early
buyout of their interest. We purchased 61 of these
noncontrolling interests in their entirety for a total of
$2.1 million, all of which was paid in cash.
During fiscal 2011, we will have the opportunity to purchase 24
additional noncontrolling interests which will reach their
five-year anniversary. If all of these interests are purchased,
the total purchase price will approximate $1.2 million to
$2.0 million based upon the estimated fair value of the
respective interests at January 2, 2011.

The table above does not include obligations related to
unexercised lease renewal option periods even if it is
reasonably assured that we will exercise the related option.
Additionally, purchase obligations have been included only to
the extent that our failure to perform would result in formal
recourse against us. Accordingly, certain procurement
arrangements that require us to purchase future items are
included, but only to the extent they include a recourse
provision for our failure to purchase.
Other
Commitments
In August 2009, we announced an agreement with FRC Balance LLC,
d/b/a True Food Kitchen, to provide debt capital for the
early-stage development of True Food Kitchen restaurants. The
agreement provides a $10.0 million loan facility to develop
True Food Kitchen restaurants and can, under certain conditions,
convert into a majority equity position in True Food Kitchen. As
of January 2, 2011, we had advanced $5.2 million under
the loan facility to fund construction of two new restaurants
which opened during fiscal 2010 and to fund the initial stages
of construction for one restaurant scheduled to open during
fiscal 2011.

Accounting Standards
See the Recent Accounting Pronouncements section of Note 1
to our consolidated financial statements for a summary of new
accounting standards.

|
Item 7A.
|
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|
We are exposed to market risk primarily from changes in
commodities prices as well as fluctuations in the fair value of
our cash-settled awards.
Commodities
Prices
We purchase various commodities such as beef, pork, poultry,
seafood and produce. These commodities are generally purchased
based upon market prices established with vendors. These
purchase arrangements may contain contractual features that fix
the price paid for certain commodities. Historically, we have
not used financial
43
instruments to hedge commodity prices because these purchase
arrangements help control the ultimate cost paid and any
significant commodity price increases have historically been
relatively short-term in nature.
Cash-Settled
Awards
We issued cash-settled awards during fiscal 2009 and fiscal
2010, including performance units, cash-settled stock
appreciation rights and cash-settled stock-based awards. The
fair value of these awards is remeasured at each reporting
period until the awards are settled and is affected by market
changes in our stock price and, in the case of performance
units, the relative performance of our stock to the performance
of the Russell 2000 Index. Fair value fluctuations are
recognized as cumulative adjustments to share-based compensation
expense and can vary significantly in future periods. See
Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for
further discussion of the fair value calculations and
fluctuations of our cash-settled awards.

Report of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
P.F. Changs China Bistro, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
P.F. Changs China Bistro, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
Company) as of January 2, 2011 and January 3, 2010,
and the related consolidated statements of income, equity, and
cash flows for the years ended January 2, 2011,
January 3, 2010, and December 28, 2008. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of P.F. Changs China Bistro, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of January 2, 2011 and January 3,
2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for the years ended January 2, 2011, January 3, 2010,
and December 28, 2008, in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial
statements, effective December 29, 2008, the Company has
changed its method of accounting and reporting for minority
interests such that they are recharacterized as noncontrolling
interests and classified as a component of equity.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
Companys internal control over financial reporting as of
January 2, 2011, based on criteria established in
Internal Control Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 16, 2011
expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Organization
and Nature of Operations
P.F. Changs China Bistro, Inc. (the Company or
PFCB) operates two restaurant concepts consisting of
restaurants throughout the United States under the names P.F.
Changs China Bistro (Bistro) and Pei Wei Asian
Diner (Pei Wei). The Company was formed in 1996 and
became publicly traded in 1998. Additionally, the Company has
extended its brand to international markets and retail products,
with both businesses operating under licensing agreements.
Fiscal
Year
The Companys fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to the
end of December. Fiscal years 2010 and 2008 were each comprised
of 52 weeks and fiscal year 2009 was comprised of
53 weeks.
Use of
Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles
of Consolidation and Presentation
The Companys consolidated financial statements include the
accounts and operations of the Company and its majority-owned
subsidiaries. All material balances and transactions between the
consolidated entities have been eliminated. Beginning fiscal
2009, noncontrolling interests (previously shown as minority
interest) are reported below net income under the heading
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests
in the consolidated statements of income and shown as a
component of equity in the consolidated balance sheets.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The Companys cash and cash equivalent balances are not
pledged or restricted. The Companys policy is to invest
cash in excess of operating requirements in income-producing
investments. Income-producing investments with maturities of
three months or less at the time of investment are reflected as
cash equivalents. Amounts receivable from credit card processors
are also considered cash equivalents because they are both
short-term and highly liquid in nature and are typically
converted to cash within three days of the sales transaction.
Cash equivalents as of January 2, 2011 and January 3,
2010 consisted primarily of money market fund investments and
amounts receivable from credit card processors.
Other
Current Assets
Other current assets consist primarily of receivables, current
portion of deferred tax asset, income taxes receivable and
prepaid rent. Receivables consist primarily of amounts due from
third-party gift card sales and amounts due from landlords for
tenant incentives. Management believes outstanding receivable
amounts to be collectible.
Inventories
Inventories consist of food and beverages and are stated at the
lower of cost or market using the
first-in,
first-out method.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Property
and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost, which includes
capitalized interest during the construction and development
period. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful service lives of
the related assets, which approximate seven years. The
Companys home office building is depreciated on a
straight-line basis over 30 years, and building
improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over
20 years. Leasehold improvements and buildings under
capital leases are amortized over the shorter of the useful life
of the asset or the length of the related lease term. The term
of the lease includes renewal option periods only in instances
in which the exercise of the renewal option can be reasonably
assured and failure to exercise such option would result in an
economic penalty. China and smallwares are generally depreciated
over two years up to 50 percent of their original cost and
replacements are recorded as operating expenses as they are
purchased.
Depreciation
and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense included in continuing
operations includes the depreciation and amortization of fixed
assets, gains and losses on disposal of assets and the
amortization of intangible assets, capitalized software costs
and non-transferable liquor license fees and totaled
$77.5 million, $74.4 million and $68.7 million
for the years ended January 2, 2011, January 3, 2010,
and December 28, 2008, respectively.
During the years ended January 2, 2011, January 3,
2010, and December 28, 2008, the Company incurred gross
interest expense of $1.7 million, $3.1 million, and
$4.8 million, respectively. Of these amounts,
$0.1 million, $0.3 million, and $0.7 million,
respectively, were capitalized during the years ended
January 2, 2011, January 3, 2010, and
December 28, 2008.
Goodwill
and Intangible Assets
Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment
tests. Intangible assets deemed to have definite lives are
amortized over their estimated useful lives, which is generally
fifteen years for Bistro restaurants and ten years for Pei Wei
restaurants.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the residual purchase price after allocation
of the purchase price of assets acquired and relates to the
Companys purchase of interests in various restaurants at
the formation of the Company. Impairment tests are performed
with respect to goodwill at the segment level of reporting. On
an annual basis, the Company reviews the recoverability of
goodwill based primarily on a multiple of earnings analysis
which compares the estimated fair value of the reporting segment
to the carrying value. As a secondary review, the Company also
compares the market value of its common stock to the total
Company carrying value. Generally, the Company performs its
annual assessment for impairment during the fourth quarter of
its fiscal year and performs the analysis more frequently if
there are any impairment indicators identified during the year.
As of January 2, 2011, management determined there was no
impairment of goodwill. There can be no assurance that future
goodwill impairment tests will not result in a charge to
earnings.
Intangible
Assets
Intangible assets were historically recognized upon the
Companys buyout of noncontrolling interests when the
Companys purchase price exceeded the imputed fair value at
the time of the partners original investment. Beginning
fiscal 2009 upon the adoption of new accounting guidance, an
intangible asset is no longer recognized upon buyout of
noncontrolling interests. Instead, any excess of the
Companys purchase price over the imputed fair value is
recognized as a reduction of additional paid-in capital in
equity.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews property and equipment and intangible assets
with finite lives (those assets resulting from the acquisition
of partners noncontrolling interests in the operating
rights of certain of our restaurants) for

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
impairment when events or circumstances indicate these assets
might be impaired, but at least quarterly. An analysis is
performed at the individual restaurant level and primarily
includes an assessment of historical cash flows and other
relevant facts and circumstances. For restaurants open greater
than two years, negative restaurant-level cash flows over the
previous twelve-month period is considered a potential
impairment indicator. In these situations, the Company evaluates
future restaurant cash flow projections in conjunction with
qualitative factors and future operating plans. Based on this
assessment, the Company either (a) continues to monitor
these restaurants over the near-term for evidence of improved
performance or (b) immediately recognizes an impairment
charge based on the amount by which the asset carrying value
exceeds fair value, which is based on discounted future cash
flows.
In the past, restaurants under monitoring have typically
achieved cash flow improvements in a timely fashion such that no
impairment charge was deemed necessary and the restaurant was
removed from active monitoring. During the year ended
December 28, 2008, the Company recognized non-cash asset
impairment charges of $7.5 million ($4.6 million net
of tax) related to the write-off of the carrying value of the
long-lived assets associated with the closure of ten Pei Wei
stores. See Note 2 for further discussion. No other impairment
of long-lived assets was recognized by the Company during the
year ended December 28, 2008. There were no impairments
recognized by the Company during the years ended January 2,
2011 and January 3, 2010. There can be no assurance that
future impairment tests will not result in additional charges to
earnings.
The Companys impairment assessment process requires the
use of estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows and
operating outcomes, which are subject to a significant degree of
judgment based on experience and knowledge. These estimates can
be significantly impacted by changes in the economic
environment, real estate market conditions and overall operating
performance. At any given time, the Company is actively
monitoring a small number of restaurants and impairment charges
could be triggered in the future if individual restaurant
performance does not improve or if management decides to close
that location. Also, if current economic conditions worsen,
additional restaurants could be placed on active monitoring and
potentially trigger impairment charges in future periods.
Other
Assets
Other assets consist primarily of transferable and
nontransferable liquor licenses, capitalized software costs,
receivable under loan facility to True Food Kitchen, Restoration
Plan assets (see Note 14 for additional information) and
vendor deposits. Nontransferable liquor licenses are amortized
over the life of the restaurant (twenty years for Bistro and
fifteen years for Pei Wei) and trademarks are amortized over the
shorter of the useful life of the asset or the length of the
related contract term. The term of the lease or contract
includes renewal option periods only in instances in which the
exercise of the renewal option can be reasonably assured and
failure to exercise such option would result in an economic
penalty. Capitalized software costs are typically amortized over
five years. See Note 6 for additional details on the
Companys other assets.
Accrued
Insurance
The Company is self-insured for certain exposures, principally
workers compensation, general liability, medical and
dental, for the first $100,000, $250,000, $275,000 or $500,000
of individual claims depending on the type of claim. The Company
has paid amounts to its insurance carrier or claims
administrator that approximate the cost of claims known to date
and has accrued additional liabilities for its estimate of
ultimate costs related to those claims, including known claims
and an actuarially determined estimate of incurred but not yet
reported claims. In developing these estimates, the Company uses
historical experience factors to estimate the ultimate claim
exposure. The Companys self insurance liabilities are
actuarially determined and consider estimates of expected
losses, based on statistical analyses of the Companys
actual historical trends as well as historical industry data. It
is reasonably possible that future adjustments to these
estimates will be required.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Lease
Obligations
The Company leases all of its restaurant properties. At the
inception of the lease, each property is evaluated to determine
whether the lease will be accounted for as an operating or
capital lease. The lease term includes renewal option periods
only in instances in which the exercise of the renewal option
can be reasonably assured and failure to exercise such option
would result in an economic penalty.
Tenant incentives received from landlords in connection with
certain of the Companys operating leases are recorded as a
deferred rent liability within lease obligations and are
amortized over the relevant lease term. For leases that contain
scheduled rent escalations, the Company recognizes rent expense
on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The
straight-line rent calculation includes the rent holiday period,
which begins on the possession date and ends on the store open
date.
Many of the Companys leases contain provisions that
require additional rental payments based upon restaurant sales
volume (contingent rent). Contingent rent is
recognized as rent expense in the period incurred.
Other
Liabilities
Other liabilities include the Companys net long-term
deferred tax liabilities, performance units, liabilities related
to the Restoration Plan (discussed further in Note 14),
cash-settled awards and asset retirement obligations
(ARO). See Note 12 for further details of the
Companys other liabilities.
The Companys AROs are primarily associated with certain of
the Companys restaurant leases under which the landlord
has the option to require the Company to remove its leasehold
improvements at the end of the lease term and return the
property to the landlord in its original condition. The Company
estimates the fair value of these liabilities based on estimated
store closing costs, accretes that current cost forward to the
date of estimated ARO removal and discounts the future cost back
as if it were performed at the inception of the lease. At the
inception of such a lease, the Company records the ARO liability
and also records a related capital asset in an amount equal to
the estimated fair value of the liability. The ARO liability is
accreted to its future value, with accretion expense recognized
as interest and other income, net, and the capitalized asset is
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the
asset, which is generally the life of the leasehold improvement.
The estimate of the conditional asset retirement liability is
based on a number of assumptions requiring managements
judgment, including the cost to return the space to its original
condition, inflation rates and discount rates. As a result, in
future periods the Company may make adjustments to the ARO
liability as a result of the availability of new information,
changes in estimated costs, inflation rates and other factors.
Unearned
Revenue
The Company sells gift cards to customers in its restaurants,
through its websites and via other retail outlets. Unearned
revenue represents gift cards sold for which revenue recognition
criteria, generally redemption, has not been met. These amounts
are presented net of any discounts issued by the Company in
connection with the terms of its third-party gift card
distribution agreements.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenues from food, beverage and alcohol sales are recognized as
products are sold.
The Company recognizes income from gift cards when: (i) the
gift card is redeemed by the customer; or (ii) the
likelihood of the gift card being redeemed by the customer is
remote (gift card breakage) and the Company determines there is
no legal obligation to remit the value of unredeemed gift cards
to the relevant jurisdictions. The Company determines the gift
card breakage rate based upon historical redemption patterns.
Gift card breakage income was not significant in any fiscal year
and is reported within revenues in the consolidated statements
of income.

CHANGS CHINA BISTRO, INC.
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Initial territory fees received pursuant to international
development and licensing agreements are recognized as revenue
when the Company has performed its material obligations under
the agreement, which is typically after the opening of a certain
number of restaurants within the territory. Store opening fees
are recognized as revenue when the Company has substantially
performed its obligations to assist the licensee in opening a
new restaurant, which is generally at the time such restaurant
opens for business. Ongoing royalty fees from licensed
restaurants are based on a percentage of restaurant sales and
are recognized as revenue in the period the related
restaurants revenues are earned.
Ongoing royalty fees from licensed retail products are based on
a percentage of product sales and are recognized as revenue upon
the sale of the product to retail outlets.
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising production costs at the time
the advertising first takes place. All other advertising costs
are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the years
ended January 2, 2011, January 3, 2010, and
December 28, 2008 was $12.5 million,
$10.4 million, and $9.2 million, respectively.
Partner
Bonus Expense, Imputed
Partner bonus expense, imputed, which is classified within labor
expense in the consolidated statements of income, represents the
portion of restaurant-level operating results that is allocable
to certain noncontrolling partners, but is presented as bonus
expense for accounting purposes. Specifically, given that
employees who choose to invest as partners are not eligible to
participate in restaurant-level bonus programs, a portion of
their partnership earnings that would otherwise be presented as
net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is deemed to
be a bonus expense for financial reporting purposes. The amounts
imputed are based on existing bonus programs used by the Company
for non-investing employees based on individual restaurant-level
operating results. Partner bonus expense, imputed for the years
ended January 2, 2011, January 3, 2010, and
December 28, 2008 was $0.4 million, $0.5 million,
and $0.9 million, respectively.
Preopening
Expense
Preopening expense, consisting primarily of manager salaries,
employee payroll and related training costs incurred prior to
the opening of a restaurant, is expensed as incurred. Preopening
expense also includes the accrual for straight-line rent
recorded during the period between date of possession and the
restaurant opening date for the Companys leased restaurant
locations.
Partner
Investment Expense
Partner investment expense represents the difference between the
imputed fair value of noncontrolling interests at the time the
partners invest in their restaurants and the partners cash
capital contribution for these ownership interests.
Additionally, for those interests that are bought out prior to
the restaurant reaching maturity (typically after five years of
operation), partner investment expense includes a reversal of
previously recognized expense for the difference between the
fair value of the noncontrolling interest at inception date and
the fair value at the date of repurchase, to the extent that the
former is greater. Partner investment expense is no longer
recognized for new Bistro openings since the beginning of fiscal
2007 and for new Pei Wei openings since April 2010 due to
changes in the partnership structure (see Note 16 for
further details).
Consolidated partner investment expense for the years ended
January 2, 2011, January 3, 2010, and
December 28, 2008 was a net benefit of $0.3 million,
$0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively. See
Note 16 for further discussion on the Companys
partnership structure.

STATEMENTS (Continued)
Taxes
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for
income taxes in which deferred taxes are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax basis of
assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply
to taxable income in the years in which the differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The Company recognizes
deferred tax assets when future realization is considered by
management to be more likely than not.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to
uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.
See Note 17 for further discussion of the Companys
uncertain tax positions.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests relating to
the income or loss of consolidated partnerships includes no
provision for income taxes as any tax liability related thereto
is the responsibility of the individual noncontrolling interest
partners.
Sales taxes collected from guests are excluded from revenues.
The obligation is included in accrued expenses until the taxes
are remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities.
Share-Based
Compensation
The Company has granted equity-classified and
liability-classified awards to certain of its employees and
directors and accounts for the awards based on fair value
measurement guidance. The estimated fair value of share-based
compensation is amortized to expense over the vesting period.
See Note 13 for further discussion of specific accounting
for share-based compensation.
Income
from Continuing Operations Attributable to PFCB per
Share
Basic income from continuing operations attributable to PFCB per
share is computed based on the weighted average of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted income from continuing
operations attributable to PFCB per share is computed based on
the weighted average number of shares of common stock and
potentially dilutive securities, which includes options,
restricted stock and restricted stock units (RSUs)
outstanding under the Companys equity plans and employee
stock purchase plan. For the years ended January 2, 2011,
January 3, 2010, and December 28, 2008,
0.8 million, 2.1 million, and 2.3 million,
respectively, of the Companys options were excluded from
the calculation due to their anti-dilutive effect.

The Company began paying quarterly variable cash dividends to
its shareholders during fiscal 2010. The Companys
restricted stock awards are considered participating securities
as the awards include non-forfeitable rights to dividends with
respect to unvested shares and, as such, must be included in the
computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class
method. Under the two-class method, a portion of net income is
allocated to participating securities, and therefore is excluded
from the calculation of earnings per share allocated to common
shares. For the year ended January 2, 2011, the calculation
of basic and diluted earnings per share pursuant to the
two-class method resulted in an immaterial difference from the
amounts displayed in the consolidated statements of income.

accounts payable, and accrued expenses is deemed to approximate
fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these
financial instruments. The fair value of long-term debt
approximates the carrying value due to the Companys right
to repay outstanding balances at any time.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of
cash investments and receivables. The Company maintains cash and
cash equivalents, funds on deposit and certain other financial
instruments with financial institutions that are considered in
the Companys investment strategy. Concentrations of credit
risk with respect to receivables are limited as the
Companys receivables are primarily related to third-party
gift card sales, tenant incentives from landlords and a
long-term receivable under the loan facility to True Food
Kitchen.
Derivatives
All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair
value as liabilities. The fair value of the Companys
derivative financial instruments is determined using either
market quotes or valuation models that are based upon the net
present value of estimated future cash flows and incorporate
current market data inputs. The Company

reports its derivative liabilities in accrued expenses. The
accounting for the change in the fair value of a derivative
financial instrument depends on its intended use and the
resulting hedge designation, if any, as discussed below.
A cash flow hedge is a derivative designed to hedge the exposure
of variable future cash flows that is attributable to a
particular risk associated with an existing recognized asset or
liability, or a forecasted transaction. The Company utilizes the
hypothetical derivative method to measure hedge effectiveness.
For derivative financial instruments that qualify as cash flow
hedges, the effective portions of the gain or loss on the
derivatives are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive
(loss) income and reclassified into earnings when the hedged
cash flows are recognized in earnings. The amount that is
reclassified into earnings, as well as any ineffective portion
of the gain or loss, as determined by the accounting
requirements, are reported as a component of interest and other
income (expense). If a hedge is de-designated or terminated
prior to maturity, the amount previously recorded in accumulated
other comprehensive (loss) income is recognized in earnings over
the period that the hedged item impacts earnings. If a hedge
relationship is discontinued because it is probable that a
forecasted transaction will not occur according to the original
strategy, any related amounts previously recorded in accumulated
other comprehensive (loss) income are recognized in earnings
immediately.
During the second quarter of 2008, the Company hedged a portion
of its existing long-term variable-rate debt through the use of
an interest rate swap. This derivative instrument effectively
fixed the interest expense on a portion of the Companys
long-term debt for the duration of the swap. The interest rate
swap expired on May 20, 2010. There was no hedge
ineffectiveness recognized during the periods ended
January 2, 2011, and January 3, 2010. See Note 8
for further discussion of the Companys interest rate swap.

Discontinued
Operations
|
Discontinued operations include results attributable to ten Pei
Wei restaurants that were closed during the fourth quarter of
2008 and Taneko Japanese Tavern (Taneko), a third
restaurant concept developed in 2006 whose assets were sold on
August 1, 2008. Income (loss) from discontinued operations
includes both the historical results of operations as well as
estimated and actual lease termination costs associated with the
ten closed Pei Wei restaurants and Taneko.
Pei
Wei
During the second half of fiscal 2008, the Company recognized a
non-cash asset impairment charge of $7.5 million
($4.6 million net of tax) related to the write-off of the
carrying value of long-lived assets associated with the ten Pei
Wei store closures, which was included in discontinued
operations. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 the Company
recognized additional pretax charges of $2.6 million
related to estimated and actual lease termination costs and
$0.1 million related to severance payments made in
connection with the store closures, which were included in
discontinued operations. During fiscal 2009, the Company
recognized additional pretax charges of $1.4 million
related to estimated and actual lease termination costs.
As of the date of this
Form 10-K,
lease termination agreements for seven of the ten locations and
a sublease agreement for one of the ten locations have been
executed. The Company continues to pursue lease termination
agreements as well as potential
sub-tenant
agreements for the remaining closed locations.
Activity associated with the lease termination accrual is

Net charges include amounts recognized based on availability of
new information, which led to updated estimates of anticipated
lease termination costs for certain closed locations. Cash
payments include settlement payments as well as ongoing rent and
other property-related payments. From store closure date through
January 2, 2011, the Company has recognized and
reported in discontinued operations a total of $4.0 million
in lease termination charges for the closed Pei Wei locations.
Originally the Company anticipated exiting the ten leases for
the closed restaurants within the subsequent year. However, in
evaluating the current facts and circumstances surrounding the
remaining three leases, the Company has determined that these
liabilities are more likely long-term in nature. Therefore, the
lease termination accrual is included in other liabilities as of
January 2, 2011 and accrued expenses as of January 3,
2010 on the consolidated balance sheets with the timing of
payments uncertain.
The Company did not record any impairment to Pei Wei goodwill,
which totaled $0.3 million, related to the fiscal 2008
store closures.

On August 31, 2007, the Company entered into a senior
credit facility (Credit Facility) with several
commercial financial institutions, which allowed for borrowings
of up to $150.0 million. On December 15, 2009, the
Company amended the Credit Facility which reduced the borrowings
allowed to $75.0 million and modified certain restrictive
language regarding restricted payments such as dividends and
share repurchases. The Credit Facility expires on
August 30, 2013 and contains customary representations,
warranties, negative and affirmative covenants, including a
requirement to maintain a maximum leverage ratio, as defined, of
2.5:1 and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined, of
1.25:1, as well as customary events of default and certain
default provisions that could result in acceleration of the
Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Companys material
existing and future domestic subsidiaries. As of January 2,
2011, the Company had $17.2 million committed for the
issuance of letters of credit, which are required by insurance
companies for the Companys workers compensation and
general liability insurance programs. Available borrowings under
the Credit Facility were $57.8 million at January 2,
2011.

Interest
Rate Swap
During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company entered
into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of
$40.0 million. The purpose of this transaction was to
provide a hedge against the effects of changes in interest rates
on a portion of the Companys current variable rate
borrowings. The Company designated the interest rate swap as a
cash flow hedge of its exposure to variability in future cash
flows attributable to interest payments on a $40.0 million
tranche of floating rate debt.
Under the terms of the interest rate swap, the Company paid a
fixed rate of 3.32% on the $40.0 million notional amount
and received payments from its counterparty based on the
one-month LIBOR rate for a term which ended when the interest
rate swap expired on May 20, 2010. Interest rate
differentials paid or received under the swap agreement were
recognized as adjustments to interest expense.

The Company invests excess cash in money market funds and
reflects these amounts within cash and cash equivalents in the
consolidated balance sheet at a net value of 1:1 for each dollar
invested. Money market investments held by the Company were
invested primarily in government-backed securities at
January 2, 2011.
The Companys Restoration Plan investments are considered
trading securities and are reported at fair value based on
third-party broker statements. Such amounts are reflected within
other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The realized
and unrealized holding gains and losses related to these
investments are recorded in interest and other income (expense),
net in the consolidated statements of income.
The Companys Restoration Plan liabilities reflect Plan
participants contributions to the Plan invested in trading
securities and reported at fair value based on third-party
broker statements. Such amounts are reflected within other
liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Plan
participants realized and unrealized holding gains and
losses on their Restoration Plan investments are considered
compensation expense and are recorded in general and
administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income.
The fair value of the Companys interest rate swap was
estimated using the net present value of a series of cash flows
on both the fixed and floating legs of the swap and was
reflected within accrued expenses in the consolidated balance
sheets. These cash flows were based on yield curves which took
into account the contractual terms of the derivative, including
the period to maturity and market-based parameters such as
interest rates and volatility. The yield curves used in the
valuation model were based on published data for counterparties
with an AA rating. Market practice in pricing derivatives
initially assumes all counterparties have the same credit
quality. The Company mitigated derivative credit risk by
transacting with highly rated counterparties. The interest rate
swap expired on May 20, 2010. See Note 8 for a
discussion of the Companys interest rate swap.

property as well as equipment under operating leases having
terms expiring between 2011 and 2025. The restaurant facility
and real property leases primarily have renewal clauses of five
to twenty years exercisable at the option of the Company.
Certain renewal terms contain rent escalation clauses
stipulating specific rent increases, some of which are based on
the consumer price index. Additionally, certain leases require
the payment of contingent rent based on a percentage of gross
revenues, as defined in the leases.

Stock
Option Plans
1996 and
1997 Plans
In August 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan
(1996 Plan), and in July 1997, the Company adopted
the 1997 Restaurant Management Stock Option Plan (1997
Plan). Options under the 1996 Plan may be granted to
employees, consultants and directors to purchase the
Companys common stock at an exercise price that equals or
exceeds the fair value of such shares on the date such option is
granted. Options under the 1997 Plan may be granted to key
employees of the Company who are actively engaged in the
management and operation of the Companys restaurants to
purchase the Companys common stock at an exercise price
that equals or exceeds the fair value of such shares on the date
such option is granted. Vesting periods are determined at the
discretion of the board of directors, and all options
outstanding at January 2, 2011 vest over five years.
Options may be exercised immediately upon grant, subject to a
right by the Company to repurchase any unvested shares at the
exercise price. Any options granted shall not be exercisable
after ten years. Upon certain changes in control of the Company,
the 1996 and 1997 Plans provide for two additional years of
immediate vesting. The Company had reserved a total of
2,173,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the
1996 and 1997 Plans, all of which have been granted. No awards
were granted during fiscal 2010 or 2009 under this plan.
1998
Plan
During 1998, the Companys Board of Directors approved the
1998 Stock Option Plan (1998 Plan) which provides
for discretionary grants of incentive stock options and
nonqualified stock options to the Companys employees,
including officers, directors, consultants, advisors, and other
independent contractors. The option exercise price per share for
an incentive stock option and nonstatutory stock option may not
be less than 100 percent of the fair market value of a
share of common stock on the grant date. The Companys
Compensation Committee has the authority to, among other things,
determine the vesting schedule for each option granted. Options
currently outstanding generally vest over five years and all
options expire within ten years of their date of grant. A total
of 3,213,770 additional shares of common stock have been
reserved for issuance under the 1998 Plan of which approximately
477,000 were available to be granted as of January 2, 2011.
No awards were granted during fiscal 2010 or 2009 under this
plan.
1999
Plan
During 1999, the Companys Board of Directors approved the
1999 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (1999 Plan),
which provides for discretionary grants of nonqualified stock
options to the Companys employees. The 1999 Plan prohibits
grants to officers or directors. The option exercise price per
share may not be less than 100 percent of the fair market
value of a share of common stock on the grant date. The
Companys Compensation Committee has the authority to,
among other things, determine the vesting schedule for each
option granted. Options currently outstanding generally vest
over five years and all options expire within ten years of their
date of grant. A total of 800,000 shares of common stock
have been reserved for issuance under the 1999 Plan of which
approximately 83,000 were available to be granted as of
January 2, 2011. No awards were granted during fiscal 2010
or 2009 under this plan.
2006
Plan
In May 2006, the Companys Board of Directors approved the
2006 Equity Incentive Plan (2006 Plan) which
provides for grants of incentive and nonstatutory stock options
as well as stock appreciation rights, restricted stock,
restricted stock units, performance units, deferred compensation
awards and other stock-based awards. Awards other than incentive
stock options generally may be granted only to employees,
directors and consultants of the Company, or certain related
entities or designated affiliates. Shares subject to stock
options and stock appreciation rights are charged against the
2006 Plan share reserve on the basis of one share for each one
share granted while shares subject to other types of equity
awards are charged against the 2006 Plan share reserve on the
basis of two

shares for each one share granted. The 2006 Plan also contains
other limits with respect to the terms of different types of
incentive awards and with respect to the number of shares
subject to awards that can be granted to an employee during any
fiscal year. Options currently outstanding generally vest
monthly over five years and expire within ten years of their
date of grant. All other types of awards generally cliff-vest
over various years. A total of 1,750,000 shares of common
stock have been reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan of
which approximately 349,000 were available to be granted as of
January 2, 2011. Cash-settled awards are issued pursuant to
the 2006 Plan, but do not decrease shares available to be
granted.
Share-Based
Compensation
The Company has granted stock options and cash-settled stock
appreciation rights (SARs) for a fixed number of
awards with an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair
value of the awards at the date of grant. The Company has also
granted restricted stock and restricted stock units
(RSUs) with fair value determined based on the
Companys closing stock price on the date of grant.
Additionally, the Company has granted cash-settled stock-based
awards (restricted cash units or RCUs) and
performance units the value of which will be determined on the
date of vesting. It is the Companys intention going
forward to issue liability-based awards in the form of
cash-settled stock-based awards to its eligible employees. The
estimated fair value of share-based compensation is amortized to
expense over the vesting period.
Equity-Classified
Awards
Options
The Company issued stock options to its eligible employees and
the Companys Board of Directors through fiscal 2008. No
options were granted during fiscal 2010 and 2009. The
Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no
vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition,
option valuation models require the input of subjective
assumptions, including estimating 1) expected term,
2) the Companys common stock price volatility over
the expected term, 3) the number of awards that will
ultimately not vest (forfeitures) and (4) the
weighted average risk-free rate of return. The Companys
outstanding options vest one-fifth after the first year and then
monthly over the remaining four years.
The fair value for stock option grants issued under the option
plans was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions:

Liability-Classified
Awards
Performance
Units
During fiscal 2009, the Company awarded 600,000 performance
units to each of the Companys Co-Chief Executive Officers
pursuant to the Companys 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. Each
award will vest on January 1, 2012, at which time the value
of such awards, if any, will be determined and paid in cash.
The cash value of the performance units will be equal to the
amount, if any, by which the Companys final average stock
price, as defined in the agreements, exceeds the strike price.
The total value of the performance units was originally subject
to a maximum value of $12.50 per unit. During December 2010, the
outstanding performance unit award associated with one of the
Co-Chief Executive Officers was modified such that the maximum
value per unit was reduced to $9.00 per unit. All other terms
remain the same as specified in the original award agreement.
The fair value of the performance units is remeasured at each
reporting period until the awards are settled. At
January 2, 2011, the fair value per performance unit was
$8.30 per unit for the units with a maximum value of $12.50 per
unit and $6.41 per unit for the units with a maximum value of
$9.00 per unit. At January 3, 2010, the fair value per
performance unit was $6.54. The fair value is calculated using a
Monte-Carlo simulation model which
70
P.F.
CHANGS CHINA BISTRO, INC.
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
incorporates the historical performance, volatility and
correlation of the Companys stock price and the Russell
2000 Index. At January 2, 2011 and January 3, 2010,
the performance unit liability, reflected in other liabilities
in the consolidated balance sheets, was $5.8 million and
$2.4 million, respectively. There were no performance unit
awards granted during fiscal 2010.
Total cumulative expense recognized for the performance units
from date of grant through January 2, 2011 was
$5.8 million based on the current estimated fair values of
$8.30 and $6.41 per unit. If the value of the performance units
at settlement date is the maximum value per unit, the Company
would recognize additional share-based compensation expense of
$7.1 million during fiscal 2011. The amount and timing of
the recognition of additional expense will be dependent on the
estimated fair value at each quarterly reporting date. Any
increases in fair value may not occur ratably over the remaining
four quarters of the award term; therefore, share-based
compensation expense related to the performance units could vary
significantly in future periods.
Cash-Settled
Awards
During fiscal 2010 and 2009, the Company granted RCUs to
eligible employees as well as SARs and RCUs to members of its
Board of Directors. The SARs and RCUs issued to the Board of
Directors in fiscal 2010 and 2009 vest over the service period
of one year and, at the election of each applicable director,
the settlement date of RCUs was deferred until the earlier of
the date
he/she
ceases serving on the Companys Board of Directors or a
change in control of the Company. The RCUs granted to employees
vest three years after the date of grant.
The cash value of the SARs will be based on the appreciation, if
any, of the Companys stock price on the date of
settlement. The cash value of the RCUs will be based on the
Companys stock price on the date of settlement. The fair
value of SARs is equal to the value calculated per the
Black-Scholes model and the fair value of RCUs is equal to the
sum of the value calculated per the Black-Scholes model and the
Companys stock price at the reporting date. The fair value
of SARs and RCUs is remeasured at each reporting period until
the awards are settled. At January 2, 2011 and
January 3, 2010, the recorded liability of cash-settled
awards, reflected in other liabilities in the consolidated
balance sheets, was $4.6 million and $1.5 million,
respectively.
The fair value of the SARs and RCUs was estimated using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted
average assumptions:

Liability-classified awards are based on current fair value,
which is updated each reporting period, and may not correspond
to the ultimate expense incurred and payments made by the
Company. |
The unvested share-based compensation expense shown above will
be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period
which is approximately 1.2 years for stock options,
0.8 years for restricted stock and RSUs, 1.0 years for
performance units and 2.2 years for RCUs and SARs awards.
Employee
Stock Purchase Plan
During 1998, the Companys Board of Directors approved the
1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Purchase Plan)
and reserved 800,000 shares for issuance thereunder. The
Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to purchase common
stock at a discount, but only through payroll deductions, during
concurrent
24-month
offering periods. Each offering period was originally divided
into four consecutive six-month purchase periods. In August
2007, the Company modified the terms of its Purchase Plan such
that the price at which stock is purchased is equal to
95 percent of the fair market value of the common stock on
the last day of the offering period. As a result, the
Companys Purchase Plan is not considered compensatory and
therefore, the Company does not recognize share-based
compensation expense associated with the Purchase Plan. In
November 2009, the Company modified the terms of its Purchase
Plan such that each offering period is divided into eight
consecutive three-month purchase periods.
Share
Repurchase Program
Under current and previous share repurchase programs authorized
by the Companys Board of Directors, the Company has
repurchased a total of 6.0 million shares of its common
stock for $187.1 million at an average price of $31.32
since July 2006. Included in this total are 0.9 million
shares of the Companys common stock repurchased during
fiscal 2010 for $41.1 million at an average price of $45.22
using cash on hand. $0.3 million of the amount repurchased
during fiscal 2010 relates to shares that were repurchased under
the previous share repurchase program that expired
December 31, 2009 but did not settle until after
January 3, 2010.
At January 2, 2011, there remains $59.2 million
available under the Companys current share repurchase
authorization of $100.0 million, which expires December
2011. The Company plans to repurchase the remaining shares
available under the current share repurchase authorization
during fiscal 2011.
401(k)
Plan
Effective July 1, 1997, the Company adopted a 401(k)
Defined Contribution Benefit Plan (the Plan).
Currently, the Plan covers employees that have completed
6 months of service and are at least 21 years old.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Participants may contribute to the Plan, subject to Internal
Revenue Code restrictions, and the Plan permits the Company to
make discretionary matching contributions. Beginning
July 1, 2007, the Company began bi-weekly matching
contributions in amounts equal to 25% of the first 6% of
employee compensation contributed, resulting in a maximum
contribution of 1.5% of participating employee compensation per
year (subject to annual dollar maximum limits). Company match
contributions to the Plan commence after one year of service and
a minimum of 1,000 hours worked. Matching contributions
vest at the rate of 20% each year beginning after the
employees second year of service. For the fiscal years
ended January 2, 2011, January 3, 2010 and
December 28, 2008, the Companys matching contribution
expense under the Plan was $0.4 million, $0.5 million
and $0.6 million, respectively.
Restoration
Plan
Effective July 1, 2007, the Company adopted a Restoration
Plan, a nonqualified deferred compensation plan which allows
officers and highly compensated employees with six months of
service to defer receipt of a portion of their compensation and
contribute such amounts to one or more investment funds. The
maximum aggregate amount deferrable under the Restoration Plan
is 75% of base salary and 100% of cash incentive compensation.
The Company makes bi-weekly matching contributions in an amount
equal to 25% of the first 6% of employee compensation
contributed, with a maximum annual Company contribution of 1.5%
of employee compensation per year (subject to annual dollar
maximum limits). Company match contributions to the Restoration
Plan commence after one year of service and a minimum of
1,000 hours worked. Matching contributions vest at the rate
of 20% each year beginning after the employees second year
of service. For the fiscal years ended January 2, 2011,
January 3, 2010 and December 28, 2008, the
Companys matching contribution expense under the
Restoration Plan was $0.2 million each year.
Additionally, the Company entered into a rabbi trust agreement
to protect the assets of the Restoration Plan. Each
participants account is comprised of their contribution,
the Companys matching contribution and their share of
earnings or losses in the Restoration Plan. The Company
purchased life insurance contracts covering certain participants
in the Restoration Plan. The Company is the sole owner and
beneficiary of these policies. The policies were purchased to
offset a portion of the obligations under the Restoration Plan.
The accounts of the rabbi trust are reported in the
Companys consolidated financial statements. The Company
reports these investments within other assets and the related
obligation within other liabilities on the consolidated balance
sheet. Such amounts totaled $5.1 million and
$3.5 million at January 2, 2011 and January 3,
2010, respectively, within other assets, and totaled
$4.9 million and $3.2 million at January 2, 2011
and January 3, 2010 respectively, within other liabilities.
The investments are considered trading securities and are
reported at fair value with the realized and unrealized holding
gains and losses related to these investments, as well as the
offsetting compensation expense, recorded in operating income.

Employment
Agreements
|
The Company has executed employment agreements with the
following executive officers: Co-Chief Executive Officers,
Executive Vice-President, and Chief Financial Officer. The
initial term for the current agreements for the Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer continues through
May 28, 2011, and the agreements will automatically renew
for subsequent one-year terms. The term for each of the Co-Chief
Executive Officers continues through January 1, 2012. The
agreements prohibit these officers from competing with P.F.
Changs China Bistro and Pei Wei Asian Diner in the area of
Chinese and Asian food concepts during the term of the
agreements and for one year after termination. The agreements
provide for immediate vesting of unvested stock options, and the
extension of the expiration date to three years, after the
occurrence of certain events. These events include a change in
control of the Company, termination of the executives
employment by the Company without cause or separation of
employment by the executive for good reason (as
defined in the agreements). Should any of these events occur,
the Company may be required to record an expense based upon the
difference between the original grant price of the options and
the fair value at the modification date for the number of awards

ultimately affected by the modification. As of January 2,
2011, approximately 0.7 million equity-classified awards
were affected by these agreements of which approximately
0.2 million shares were unvested, and approximately
1.2 million liability-classified awards were affected by
these agreements, all of which were unvested.
In December 2008, the former President of Pei Wei Asian Diner,
Inc. resigned his position with the Company and the Company
entered into a separation agreement. According to the terms of
the agreement, the Company paid severance compensation and
accelerated the vesting of approximately 71,000 unvested stock
options and extended the exercise period of all outstanding
stock options. These terms resulted in the recognition of
additional non-cash share-based compensation expense of
$1.2 million and a cash severance payment of
$0.8 million for the year ended December 28, 2008.

Partnership
Structure
|
The Company utilizes a partnership philosophy to facilitate the
development, leadership and operation of its restaurants.
Historically, this philosophy had been embodied in a traditional
legal partnership structure, which included capital
contributions from partners in exchange for an ownership stake
in the profits and losses of the Companys restaurants.
Each partner was required to make a capital contribution in
exchange for their percentage interest in the restaurant or
region the partner managed. The ownership interest purchased by
each partner generally ranged between two and ten percent of the
restaurant or region the partner oversaw. At the end of a
specific term (generally five years), the Company has the right,
but not the obligation, to purchase the noncontrolling interest
in the partners respective restaurant or region at fair
market value. An estimated fair value is determined by reference
to current industry purchase metrics as well as the historical
cash flows or net income of the subject restaurant or region, as
appropriate. The Company has the option to pay the agreed upon
purchase price in cash over a period of time not to exceed five
years.
Effective the beginning of fiscal 2007 for new restaurant
openings at the Bistro and effective April 2010 for new
restaurant openings at Pei Wei, a different partnership
structure was employed to achieve the same goal. At the
restaurant level, our partners at stores opened on or after the
effective dates (still partners in the
philosophical, but not legal, sense) no longer have a direct
ownership stake in the profits and losses of restaurants, but
are instead eligible to receive monthly incentive payments based
upon the profitability of the restaurants in their region, as
well as participate in an incentive program that rewards
improvements in the operating performance of the restaurants in
their market or region.
As a result of these changes, incentive payments made to the
individuals participating in the new plan are classified as
compensation expense rather than as net income attributable to
noncontrolling interests. Accordingly, in the consolidated
statements of income, compensation expense for our Operating and
Culinary Partners is reflected as labor expense and for our
Market Partners, Regional Vice Presidents and Bistro Market
Chefs as general and administrative expense.
Partner investment expense has no longer been recognized for new
Bistro restaurant openings since the beginning of fiscal 2007
and for new Pei Wei restaurant openings since April 2010 as a
result of this change. However, for those partners who are
bought out prior to the restaurant reaching maturity (typically
after five years of operation), partner investment expense
includes a reversal of previously recognized expense for the
difference between the fair value of the partners interest
at inception date and the fair value at the date of repurchase,
to the extent that the former is greater.

A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided when
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income or the
reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the periods in which
those temporary differences become deductible. The Company
considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities,
projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in
making this assessment.
The Company currently files tax returns on a consolidated basis
in some states and on a stand-alone basis in others. At
January 2, 2011 and January 3, 2010, the Company had
deferred tax assets totaling $1.1 million and
$0.9 million, respectively, related to state net operating
loss carryforwards in certain states where stand-alone tax
returns are filed. These losses expire over the next five to
twenty years. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance to
offset the deferred tax assets for those losses that the Company
does not anticipate being able to utilize prior to their
expiration.
At January 2, 2011 and January 3, 2010, the Company
took advantage of additional tax deductions available relating
to the exercise of non-qualified stock options and disqualifying
dispositions of incentive stock options. Accordingly, for the
years ended January 2, 2011 and January 3, 2010, the
Company recorded a $2.6 million and $1.7 million,
respectively, increase to equity with a corresponding reduction
to income tax liability. Additionally, at January 2, 2011
and January 3, 2010, the Company reversed $0.3 million
and $0.4 million, respectively, of deferred tax assets
related to fully vested canceled options for which the Company
will not receive a tax benefit. Quarterly adjustments for the
exercise of non-qualified stock options and disqualifying
dispositions of incentive stock options may vary as they relate
to the actions of the option holder or shareholder.
The reserve for uncertain tax positions was $0.8 million
and $1.2 million, respectively, at January 2, 2011 and
January 3, 2010. This balance is the Companys best
estimate of the potential liability for uncertain tax positions.
The decrease in the uncertain tax position reserve was primarily
due to audit assessments that settled during 2010. This decrease
was partially offset by increases to the reserve relating to
current year requirements for asserted and

As of January 2, 2011 and January 3, 2010, the Company
had accrued $0.3 million and $0.4 million,
respectively, of interest expense related to uncertain tax
positions. For the years ended January 2, 2011,
January 3, 2010, and December 28, 2008, provision for
income tax includes a $0.1 million benefit, a
$0.1 million expense, and a $0.02 million expense,
respectively, related to interest expense on uncertain tax
positions. As of January 2, 2011 and January 3, 2010,
the Company had accrued $0.1 million each year of penalties
related to uncertain tax positions.
Currently, the Company has statutes of limitations open in
various states ranging from the 2002 through 2009 tax years. The
federal statute of limitations is currently open for the 2004
through 2009 tax years.
Internal
Revenue Service Audit
In March 2010, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
commenced an audit of the Companys federal income tax
returns for fiscal years 2004 through 2009 and refund claims for
fiscal years 2004 through 2006. The final audit results are
subject to approval by the U.S. Congress Joint Committee on
Taxation. To date, the IRS has not issued any notices of
proposed adjustments. Additionally, the Company expects to
resolve this audit by the end of fiscal 2011. Although the
Company believes its tax accruals to be reasonable, the final
determination of the audit and any related litigation could be
materially different from the Companys historical income
tax provisions and accruals.

Commitments
and Contingencies
|
Purchase
Obligations
The Company enters into various purchase obligations in the
ordinary course of its business. Those that are binding relate
primarily to commodities contracts and construction for
restaurants planned to open in the near future. At
January 2, 2011, such purchase obligations approximated
$162.6 million and were due within the following twelve-month
period.
Litigation
and Other
In addition to commitments and obligations in the ordinary
course of business, the Company is subject to various claims and
legal actions arising out of the normal conduct of business. The
Company assesses contingencies to determine the degree of
probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual in
its financial statements. An estimated loss contingency is
accrued in the financial statements if it is probable that a
liability has been incurred
78
P.F.
CHANGS CHINA BISTRO, INC.
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because
litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable
resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly
subjective and requires judgments about future events. The
Company regularly reviews contingencies to determine the
adequacy of the accruals and related disclosures. The amount of
ultimate loss may differ from these estimates. The Company is
also currently under examination by various taxing authorities
for years not closed by the statute of limitations. Although the
Company believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will
not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations,
liquidity or financial position of the Company, it is possible
that the results of operations, liquidity, or financial position
of the Company could be materially affected in any particular
period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these
contingencies.
Loan
Facility
During 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with FRC
Balance LLC (FRC), d/b/a True Food Kitchen, to
provide debt capital for the early-stage development of True
Food Kitchen restaurants. The agreement provides for a
$10.0 million loan facility to develop True Food Kitchen
restaurants and can, under certain conditions, be converted by
the Company into a majority equity position in FRC. As of
January 2, 2011, the Company had advanced $5.2 million
under the loan facility to fund construction of two new
restaurants which opened during fiscal 2010 and to fund the
initial stages of construction for one restaurant scheduled to
open during fiscal 2011.
The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to convert
the principal amount outstanding under the loan facility to a
majority position in FRC either: a) on the earlier of
1) the fifth anniversary of the loan facility agreement or
2) 90 to 180 days after the opening of the sixth True
Food Kitchen restaurant or b) at any time under mutual
agreement between the Company and FRC. If the loan facility is
converted into a majority position, the Company will own 51% of
FRC, at which time the Company will enter into a management
agreement with FRC where FRC will continue the
day-to-day
management of the True Food Kitchen restaurants.
Management has evaluated both quantitative and qualitative
factors regarding the terms of the agreement with FRC including,
but not limited to, voting rights, obligations to absorb
expected losses and rights to receive expected residual returns.
Based on this assessment, management has determined that FRC
does not currently need to be consolidated within the
Companys financial statements. If the Company exercises
its right to convert the principal amount outstanding, the
Company will re-evaluate whether FRC needs to be consolidated
within the Companys financial statements at that time.
The Company operates primarily in the United States food-service
industry and has determined that its reportable segments are
those that are based on the Companys methods of internal
reporting and management structure. The Companys
reportable segments are Bistro and Pei Wei. Additionally,
revenues related to Bistro restaurants operated by business
partners pursuant to development and licensing agreements and
licensing fees related to a premium line of frozen entrées
operated under a licensing agreement are both reported within
Shared Services and Other. There were no material transactions
among reportable segments.

In addition to using consolidated results in evaluating the
Companys financial results, a primary measure used by
executive management in assessing the performance of existing
restaurant concepts is segment profitability (sometimes referred
to as restaurant operating income). Segment profitability is
defined as income from operations before general and
administrative, preopening and partner investment expenses, but
including a deduction for net income attributable to
noncontrolling interests. Because preopening and partner
investment expenses are associated with expansion of the
Companys business and vary in timing and magnitude, they
make an accurate assessment of ongoing operations more difficult
and are therefore excluded. Additionally, general and
administrative expenses are only included in the Companys
consolidated financial results as they are generally not
specifically identifiable to individual business units as these
costs relate to support of both restaurant businesses and the
extension of the Companys brands into international
markets and retail products. As the Companys expansion is
funded entirely from its ongoing restaurant operations, segment
profitability is one consideration when determining whether and
when to open additional restaurants.

Cash
Dividends
In February 2010, the Board of Directors approved the
initiation of a quarterly variable cash dividend based on the
Companys desire to consistently return excess cash flow to
its shareholders. The amount of the cash dividend is calculated
based on 45% of the Companys quarterly net income. Based
on seasonal fluctuations in the Companys quarterly net
income, the amount of cash dividend payments may fluctuate
between quarters.
Based on the Board of Directors authorization, on
February 16, 2011 the Company announced a cash dividend of
$0.29 per share which will be paid March 14, 2011 to all
shareholders of record at the close of business on
February 28, 2011. Based on shares outstanding at
February 11, 2011, the total dividend payment will
approximate $6.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal
2011.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in the
Companys reports under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to management,
including our Co-Chief Executive Officers (Co-CEOs)
and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), 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
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives, as the Companys controls are designed to do,
and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in
evaluating the risk related to controls and procedures.
In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on
Form 10-K,
as of January 2, 2011, an evaluation was performed under
the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our principal executive officers and principal
financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures, as
such term is defined under
Rule 13a-15(e)
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act). Based on this
evaluation, our principal executive officers and principal
financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by
this report. This conclusion was communicated to the Audit
Committee.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting Our management is
responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting as defined in
Rule 13a-15(f)
under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system is designed
to provide reasonable assurance to the Companys management
and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair
presentation of published financial statements. All internal
control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent
limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be
effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to
financial statement preparation and presentation.
Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting as of January 2, 2011. In
making its assessment of internal control over financial
reporting, management used the criteria set forth by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the
Treadway Commission in Internal Control
Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, our Co-CEOs
and CFO concluded that our internal control over financial
reporting was effective as of January 2, 2011 based on the
criteria set forth by COSO in Internal Control
Integrated Framework.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has
issued an audit report on the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting. This report appears below.
Change in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting There have been no changes in the
Companys internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the Companys last fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting. These
conclusions were communicated to the Audit Committee.

Report of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
P.F. Changs China Bistro, Inc.:
We have audited P.F. Changs China Bistro, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the Companys) internal control over
financial reporting as of January 2, 2011 based on criteria
established in Internal Control Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO). The Companys management is
responsible for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness
of internal control over financial reporting, included in the
accompanying Managements Annual Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the Companys internal control over
financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control
over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk
that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on
the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A companys
internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as
of January 2, 2011 based on criteria established in
Internal Control Integrated Framework, issued by
COSO.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated balance sheets of P.F. Changs China Bistro,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of January 2, 2011 and
January 3, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of
income, equity, and cash flows for the years ended
January 2, 2011, January 3, 2010, and
December 28, 2008, and our report dated February 16,
2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial statements.
