Under what conditions does Checkersrallys perform impairment testing on its property and equipment?

Checkersrallys 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)

According to Checkersrallys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, impairment testing for property and equipment is conducted at the enterprise level when a triggering event occurs, suggesting that the fair value of the company might be less than its carrying amount.

When such a triggering event takes place, Checkersrallys has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative test is necessary. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is unlikely an impairment exists, no further testing is required.

However, if the qualitative assessment suggests that impairment of property and equipment is more likely than not, a quantitative test is then required. This test involves comparing the fair value of Checkersrallys with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, the difference represents the impairment loss, which is recognized up to the carrying amount of the property and equipment. For more detailed information, the FDD directs the reader to Note 8 - Property and Equipment, Net.
