What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the consolidated balance sheets include property and equipment, net, which can be used to derive capital expenditures. As of December 30, 2024, Checkers' property and equipment, net, totaled $31,679,000. On January 1, 2024, this figure was $29,309,000.
To calculate the capital expenditures for the year ended December 30, 2024, we would need to consider the changes in property and equipment, net, along with depreciation and any disposals of assets. However, based solely on the provided information, we cannot precisely determine the capital expenditures. The change in property and equipment, net, from January 1, 2024 to December 30, 2024, was an increase of $2,370,000 ($31,679,000 - $29,309,000).
It is important to note that this increase does not represent the total capital expenditures, as it is net of depreciation and any asset disposals. Further details from the complete financial statements, including the statement of cash flows, would be required to determine the exact amount of capital expenditures for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2024. A prospective franchisee should request the full audited financial statements to fully understand Checkers' capital expenditure trends.
