In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a standard that requires measurement and recognition of expected versus incurred credit losses for financial assets held, including trade receivables. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 for public entities. For other entities, the standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted this amendment during the first quarter of 2024. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hardees's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) standard regarding credit impairment during the first quarter of 2024. This standard mandates the measurement and recognition of expected versus incurred credit losses for financial assets held, including trade receivables.
For public entities, this standard was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. For other entities like Hardees, it became effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022.
However, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on Hardees' Consolidated Financial Statements. This implies that the change in accounting methods did not significantly alter the reported financial results of the company.
