Item 8.01. Other Events
On October 10, 2012, the Registrant provided supplementary financial information applicable to fiscal years 2010, 2011 and 2012 via the Registrant's website www.Brinker.com as a result of a change in revenue presentation effective for the fiscal first quarter ended September 26, 2012. The Registrant will report revenues in two separate captions on the consolidated statements of income in an effort to provide more clarity around revenue and operating expense trends. One caption will include revenues generated by the operation of company-owned restaurants and the other will primarily include revenues generated by franchise operations. Revenue amounts for fiscal years 2010, 2011 and 2012 have been reclassified in the supplementary financial information to conform to the fiscal 2013 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the Registrant's total revenue as previously reported. The Registrant believes this additional historical information is valuable in understanding the revenue trends and will provide greater comparability with the fiscal 2013 financial information.
