What was the net value of property and equipment for Checkers in the earlier period presented in the financial statements?

Checkers Franchise · 2025 FDD

Answer from 2025 FDD Document

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of their estimated useful lives (generally 10 years) or the remaining lease term. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Impairment testing is performed at the enterprise level upon the occurrence of a triggering event indication that the fair value of the Company might be less than its carrying amount. When a triggering event occurs, the Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether a quantitative test is needed. If that assessment demonstrates that it is more likely than not that an impairment does not exist, no further testing is required. If impairment of property and equipment is more likely than not, a quantitative test is required that compares the fair value of the Company with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, that amount represents the impairment loss to be recognized, up to the carrying amount of property and equipment. Refer to Note 8 - Property and Equipment, Net for further information.

What This Means (2025 FDD)

I am unable to provide the exact net value of property and equipment for Checkers from the 2025 FDD. While the provided excerpts from the FDD discuss property and equipment, including depreciation, amortization, and impairment charges, they do not include a consolidated balance sheet or specific figures for the net value of property and equipment for the earliest period presented. The excerpts do mention that property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation.

To get this information, a prospective Checkers franchisee should review the full financial statements in Item 21 of the FDD, which would include the balance sheets for all periods presented.

Specifically, the franchisee should ask Checkers for the balance sheets detailing the net value of property and equipment for each of the periods presented, including the earliest period, to fully understand the company's asset values over time.
