Papa John’s International, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 26, 2022
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 25, 2022. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for Papa John’s International, Inc. (referred to as the “Company”, “Papa John’s” or in the first-person notations of “we”, “us” and “our”) for the year ended December 26, 2021.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items that are subject to such estimates and assumptions include allowance for credit losses on accounts and notes receivable, contract assets and contract liabilities, including the online customer loyalty program obligation and gift card breakage, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, insurance reserves, and tax reserves. Although management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could significantly differ from these estimates.
Variable Interest Entity
Papa John’s domestic restaurants, both Company-owned and franchised, participate in Papa John’s Marketing Fund, Inc. (“PJMF”), a nonstock corporation designed to operate at break-even as it spends all annual contributions received from the system. PJMF collects a percentage of revenues from Company-owned and franchised restaurants in the United States for the purpose of designing and administering advertising and promotional programs. PJMF is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that funds its operations with ongoing financial support and contributions from the domestic restaurants, of which approximately 80 percent are franchised (85 percent following the divestiture of the Company’s interest in one joint venture in the second quarter that included 90 restaurants as discussed in Note 10) and does not have sufficient equity to fund its operations without these ongoing financial contributions. Based on an assessment of the governance structure and operating procedures of PJMF, the Company determined it has the power to control certain significant activities of PJMF, and therefore, is the primary beneficiary. The Company has consolidated PJMF in its financial results in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidations.”
Noncontrolling Interests
Papa John’s has joint venture arrangements in which there are noncontrolling interests held by third parties that include 98 and 188 restaurants at June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021, respectively. As further described in Note 10, we divested our 51 percent interest in one joint venture that owned 90-restaurants in the second quarter of 2022. The assets and liabilities associated with this joint venture arrangement were classified as held for sale at the end of the first quarter of 2022.
Consolidated net income is required to be reported separately at amounts attributable to both the Company and the noncontrolling interests. Additionally, disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the Company and the interests of the noncontrolling owners, including a disclosure on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Net income attributable to these joint ventures for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021 was as follows (in thousands):

Joint ventures with option to require the Company to purchase the noncontrolling interest - not currently redeemable or redemption not probableTemporary equityCarrying value
Deferred Income Tax Accounts and Tax Reserves
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and several foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining Papa John’s provision for income taxes and the related assets and liabilities. The provision for income taxes includes income taxes paid, currently payable or receivable and those deferred. We use an estimated annual effective rate based on expected annual income to determine our quarterly provision for income taxes. The effective income tax rate includes the estimated domestic state effective income tax rate and applicable foreign income tax rates. The effective income tax rate is also impacted by various permanent items and credits, net of any related valuation allowances, and can vary based on changes in estimated annual income. Discrete items are recorded in the quarter in which they occur.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for the estimated future effects of tax attribute carryforwards (e.g., net operating losses, capital losses, and foreign tax credits). The effect on deferred taxes of changes in tax rates is recognized in the period in which the new tax rate is enacted. Valuation allowances are established when necessary on a jurisdictional basis to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts we expect to realize.
Tax authorities periodically audit the Company. We record reserves and related interest and penalties for identified exposures as income tax expense. We evaluate these issues on a quarterly basis to adjust for events, such as statute of limitations expirations, court or state rulings or audit settlements, which may impact our ultimate payment for such exposures.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
The Company determines the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability to a market participant. Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are required to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
•Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
•Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
10

Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to estimate fair value; accordingly, the fair values presented do not necessarily indicate what the Company or its debtholders could realize in a current market exchange.
Our financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021 are as follows:

_______________
(a)Represents life insurance policies held in our non-qualified deferred compensation plan.
(b)The fair value of our interest rate swaps is based on the sum of all future net present value cash flows. The future cash flows are derived based on the terms of our interest rate swaps, as well as considering published discount factors, and projected London Interbank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”).
The fair value of certain assets and liabilities approximates carrying value because of the short-term nature of the accounts, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net of allowances, and accounts payable. The carrying value of notes receivable, net of allowances, also approximates fair value. The Company’s revolving credit facilities under its credit agreement approximate carrying value due to its variable market-based interest rate. The Company’s 3.875% senior notes are classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement since the Company estimates the fair value by using recent trading transactions, and has the following estimated fair values and carrying values (excluding the impact of unamortized debt issuance costs) as of June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021, respectively:

Allowance for Credit Losses
Estimates of expected credit losses, even if remote, are based upon historical account write-off trends, facts about the current financial condition of the debtor, forecasts of future operating results based upon current trends of select operating metrics, and macroeconomic factors. Credit quality is monitored through the timing of payments compared to the prescribed payment terms and known facts regarding the financial condition of the franchisee or customer. Account and note balances are charged off against the allowance after recovery efforts have ceased.

The Company recorded $14.6 million of one-time, non-cash reserves in the first quarter of 2022 for certain accounts receivable and notes receivable primarily associated with a master franchisee with operations principally in Russia.
3. Leases
Lessor Operating Leases
We sublease certain retail space to our franchisees in the United Kingdom which are primarily operating leases. At June 26, 2022, we leased and subleased approximately 436 Papa John’s restaurant properties to franchisees in the United Kingdom. The initial lease terms on the franchised sites in the United Kingdom are generally 15 years. The Company has the option to negotiate an extension toward the end of the lease term at the landlord’s discretion. Rental income, primarily derived from properties leased and subleased to franchisees in the United Kingdom, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective operating lease terms. We recognized total sublease income of $3.0 million and $6.0 million for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively, and $3.3 million and $6.1 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2021, respectively, within Other revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Lease Guarantees
As a result of assigning our interest in obligations under property leases as a condition of the refranchising of certain restaurants, we are contingently liable for payment of approximately 62 domestic leases. These leases have varying terms, the latest of which expires in 2036. As of June 26, 2022, the estimated maximum amount of undiscounted payments the Company could be required to make in the event of nonpayment by the primary lessees was $10.2 million. This contingent liability is not included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as it is not probable to occur. The fair value of the guarantee is not material.

5.  Revenue Recognition
Contract Balances
Our contract liabilities primarily relate to franchise fees, unredeemed gift card liabilities, and loyalty program obligations, which we classify as Deferred revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, the Company recognized $8.3 million and $17.6 million in revenue, respectively, related to deferred revenue, compared to $9.0 million and $18.2 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2021.
The following table includes a breakout of contract liability balances (in thousands):

Customer loyalty program obligations13,252 15,136 (1,884)
Total contract liabilities$43,558 $35,546 $8,012 
Our contract assets consist primarily of equipment incentives provided to franchisees. Equipment incentives are related to the future value of commissary revenue the Company will receive over the term of the incentive agreement. As of June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021, the contract assets were approximately $7.4 million and $5.8 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, revenue was reduced approximately $1.1 million and $1.9 million for the amortization of contract assets over the applicable contract terms. Contract assets are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations
The following table (in thousands) includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period.

Franchise fees$3,198 $2,989 $2,811 $2,604 $2,324 $7,888 $21,814 
Approximately $3.0 million of area development fees related to unopened stores and international unearned royalties are included in Deferred revenue. Timing of revenue recognition is dependent upon the timing of store openings and franchisees’ revenues. Gift card liabilities of approximately $5.4 million, included in Deferred revenue, will be recognized in Company-owned restaurant revenues when gift cards are redeemed. The Company will recognize redemption fee revenue in Other revenues when cards are redeemed at franchised restaurant locations.
The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC 606, "Revenue Recognition" and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.
6.  Common Stock
Shares Authorized and Outstanding
The Company has authorized 5.0 million shares of preferred stock (of which none were issued or outstanding at June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021) and 100.0 million shares of common stock as of June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021. There were 35.2 million shares of common stock outstanding, net of repurchased shares of common stock at June 26, 2022, compared to 35.8 million shares at December 26, 2021.

Subsequent to June 26, 2022, we acquired an additional 229,000 shares at an aggregate cost of $19.5 million and an average price of $85.15 per share. Approximately $329.8 million remained available under the Company’s share repurchase program as of July 29, 2022.
The timing and volume of share repurchases under the Company’s share repurchase programs may be executed at the discretion of management on an opportunistic basis, subject to market and business conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors, or pursuant to trading plans or other arrangements. Repurchases under the programs may be made through open market, block, and privately negotiated transactions, including Rule 10b5-1 plans, at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. Repurchases under the Company’s share repurchase programs may be commenced or suspended from time to time at the Company’s discretion without prior notice. Funding for the share repurchase programs will be provided through our credit facility, operating cash flow, stock option exercises and cash and cash equivalents.
Dividends
The Company recorded dividends of approximately $25.1 million ($0.70 per share) for the six months ended June 26, 2022. On August 2, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a second quarter dividend of $0.42 per common share (approximately $14.9 million in the aggregate), which will be paid on August 26, 2022 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 15, 2022. The declaration and payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors.
7.  Earnings Per Share
We compute earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method requires an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common shareholders and participating security holders according to dividends declared and participating rights in undistributed earnings. The shares of the Company’s former Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock"), all of which were repurchased by the Company or converted into shares of common stock during 2021, and time-based restricted stock awards are participating securities because holders of such shares have non-forfeitable dividend rights and participate in undistributed earnings with common stock. Under the two-class method, total dividends provided to the holders of participating securities and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities, are subtracted from net income attributable to the Company in determining net income attributable to common shareholders. Additionally, any accretion to the redemption value for the Series B Preferred Stock was treated as a deemed dividend in the two-class earnings per share calculation.

Total long-term debt, net$536,446$480,730
Senior Notes
On September 14, 2021, the Company issued $400.0 million of 3.875% senior notes (the “Notes”) which will mature on September 15, 2029. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year at a fixed interest rate of 3.875% per annum.
The Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after September 15, 2024 at established redemption prices ranging from 97 to 194 basis points depending on when the Notes are redeemed. At any time prior to September 15, 2024, the Company may also redeem up to 40% of the Notes with net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 103.875% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, excluding the redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to September 15, 2024, the Company may
17

redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and an applicable “make-whole” premium. The Notes also contain customary redemption provisions related to asset sales and certain change of control transactions.
The Indenture governing the Notes contains customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default, failure to comply with covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or the Notes and certain provisions related to bankruptcy events. The Indenture also contains customary negative covenants.
Amended Credit Agreement
The Company’s amended and restated credit agreement, dated September 14, 2021 (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate available principal amount of $600.0 million (the “PJI Revolving Facility”), of which up to $40.0 million is available as swingline loans and up to $80.0 million is available as letters of credit. The PJI Revolving Facility will mature on September 14, 2026. The remaining availability under the PJI Revolving Facility was approximately $455.0 million as of June 26, 2022.
Up to $50.0 million of the PJI Revolving Facility may be advanced in certain agreed foreign currencies, including Euros, Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Japanese Yen, and Mexican Pesos. Additionally, the Amended Credit Agreement includes an accordion feature allowing for a future increase of the PJI Revolving Facility and/or incremental term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $500.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from one or more new or existing lenders to provide such increased amounts and ongoing compliance with financial covenants.
Loans under the PJI Revolving Facility accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to, at the Company’s election, either a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.00% or a base rate (generally determined according to the greater of a prime rate, federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or a LIBOR rate plus 1.00%) plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.00%. In each case, the actual margin is determined according to a ratio of the Company’s total indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the then most recently ended four quarter period (the “Leverage Ratio”). An unused commitment fee ranging from 18 to 30 basis points per annum, determined according to the Leverage Ratio, applies to the underutilized commitments under the PJI Revolving Facility. Loans outstanding under the PJI Revolving Facility may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage costs in the case of borrowings for which a LIBOR rate election is in effect. The Amended Credit Agreement also contain provisions specifying alternative interest rate calculations to be used at such time as LIBOR ceases to be available as a benchmark for establishing the interest rate on floating interest rate borrowings.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, require customary reporting obligations, and restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the occurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, the consummation of certain mergers, consolidations, sales of assets and similar transactions, the making of investments, equity distributions and other restricted payments, and transactions with affiliates. The Company is also subject to the following financial covenants: (1) a maximum Leverage Ratio of 5.25 to 1.00, subject to the Company’s election to increase the maximum Leverage Ratio by 0.50 to 1.00 in connection with material acquisitions if the Company satisfies certain requirements, and (2) a minimum interest coverage ratio defined as EBITDA plus consolidated rental expense to consolidated interest expense plus consolidated rental expense of 2.00 to 1.00. We were in compliance with these financial covenants at June 26, 2022.
Obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain direct and indirect material domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) and are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the capital stock and equity interests of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ domestic and first tier material foreign subsidiaries. The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary events of default including, among other things, payment defaults, breach of covenants, cross acceleration to material indebtedness, bankruptcy-related defaults, judgment defaults, and the occurrence of certain change of control events. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the termination of the PJI Revolving Facility, acceleration of repayment obligations and the exercise of remedies by the Lenders with respect to the Guarantors.
PJMF Revolving Facility
PJMF has a $20.0 million revolving line of credit (the “PJMF Revolving Facility”) pursuant to a Revolving Loan Agreement, dated September 30, 2015 with U.S. Bank National Association, as lender. The PJMF Revolving Facility is secured by substantially all assets of PJMF. The PJMF Revolving Facility matures on September 30, 2022. The borrowings
18

under the PJMF Revolving Facility accrue interest at a variable rate of the one-month LIBOR plus 1.75%. There was no debt outstanding under the PJMF Revolving Facility as of June 26, 2022 or December 26, 2021. The PJMF operating results and the related debt outstanding do not impact the financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement.
Derivative Financial Instruments
As of June 26, 2022, we have the following interest rate swap agreements with a total notional value of $350.0 million:
Effective DatesFloating Rate Debt Fixed Rates
April 30, 2018 through April 30, 2023$55 million2.33%

January 30, 2018 through August 30, 2022$50 million2.00%
Our interest rate swaps were de-designated as cash flow hedges following the issuance of the Notes. For these de-designated hedges, the portion of gains or losses on the derivative instruments previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) will be reclassified into earnings as adjustments to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the originally hedged transactions.

9.  Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Company is involved in a number of lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including those specifically identified below, consisting of intellectual property, employment, consumer, commercial and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies” the Company has made accruals with respect to these matters where appropriate, which are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. We review these provisions at least quarterly and adjust them to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case.
In re Papa John’s Employee & Franchise Employee Antitrust Litigation is a putative class action filed in December 2018 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. The suit alleges that the “no-poaching” provision previously contained in the Company’s franchise agreement constituted an unlawful agreement or conspiracy in restraint of trade and commerce in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. On April 14, 2022, the parties reached a settlement (the “Legal Settlement”) in principle to resolve the case. Pursuant to the terms of the proposed settlement, in exchange for the Company’s payment of a total aggregate settlement amount of $5.0 million and other non-monetary consideration, all claims in the action will be dismissed, the litigation will be terminated, and the Company will receive a release. The settlement amount was recorded in General and Administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the first quarter of 2022. The proposed settlement is subject to approval by the District Court and contains certain customary contingencies. The Company continues to deny any liability or wrongdoing in this matter.
Durling et al v. Papa John’s International, Inc., is a conditionally certified collective action filed in May 2016 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that corporate restaurant delivery drivers were not properly reimbursed for vehicle mileage and expenses in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act. In July 2018, the District Court granted a motion to certify a conditional corporate collective class and the opt-in notice process has been completed. As of the close of the opt-in period on October 29, 2018, 9,571 drivers opted into the collective class. The Company continues to deny any liability or wrongdoing in this matter and intends to vigorously defend this action. The Company has not recorded any liability related to this lawsuit as of June 26, 2022 as it does not believe a loss is probable or reasonably estimable.
10.  Divestitures
Refranchising Loss
On March 28, 2022, we refranchised our 51% ownership interest in a 90-restaurant consolidated joint venture in Texas for $14.0 million, net of transaction costs.

In connection with the divestiture, we recorded a one-time, non-cash charge of $8.4 million as a Refranchising Loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, which reflects net sale proceeds of $14.0 million, the noncontrolling interest of $4.2 million, and the recognition of an unearned royalty stream of $12.2 million to be recognized as revenue over the 10-year term of the franchise agreement executed concurrent with the disposition in accordance with ASC 810, “Consolidation.” The $8.4 million of the one-time, non-cash refranchising loss was recorded in the first quarter of 2022 and realized upon consummation of the sale in the second quarter.
Impairment of Reacquired Master Franchise Rights
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded an impairment of $2.8 million for reacquired franchise rights due to the financial and operational impact of the conflict in Ukraine and government actions taken in response to that conflict, including, but not limited to, international sanctions. The reacquired franchise rights were previously acquired from a former master franchisee and capitalized by the Company.
11.  Segment Information
We have four reportable segments: domestic Company-owned restaurants, North America franchising, North America commissaries, and international operations. The domestic Company-owned restaurant segment consists of the operations of all domestic (“domestic” is defined as contiguous United States) Company-owned restaurants and derives its revenues principally from retail sales of pizza, Papadias, which are flatbread-style sandwiches, and side items, including breadsticks, cheesesticks, chicken poppers and wings, dessert items and canned or bottled beverages. The North America commissary
20

segment consists of the operations of our regional dough production and product distribution centers and derives its revenues principally from the sale and distribution of food and paper products to domestic Company-owned and franchised restaurants in the United States and Canada. The North America franchising segment consists of our franchise sales and support activities and derives its revenues from sales of franchise and development rights and collection of royalties from our franchisees located in the United States and Canada. The international segment principally consists of distribution sales to franchised Papa John’s restaurants located in the United Kingdom and our franchise sales and support activities, which derive revenues from sales of franchise and development rights and the collection of royalties from our international franchisees. International franchisees are defined as all franchise operations outside of the United States and Canada. All other business units that do not meet the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments, which are not operating segments, we refer to as “all other,” which consists of operations that derive revenues from the sale, principally to Company-owned and franchised restaurants, of printing and promotional items, franchise contributions to marketing funds and information systems and related services used in restaurant operations, including our point-of-sale system, online and other technology-based ordering platforms.
Generally, we evaluate performance and allocate resources based on operating income and intercompany eliminations. Certain administrative and capital costs are allocated to segments based upon predetermined rates or estimated resource usage. We account for intercompany sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties and eliminate the activity in consolidation.
Our reportable segments are business units that provide different products or services. Separate management of each segment is required because each business unit is subject to different operational issues and strategies. No single external customer accounted for 10% or more of our consolidated revenues.

Endorsement Agreement
On April 10, 2022, the Company and PJMF entered into an Endorsement Agreement (the “Endorsement Agreement”), effective March 15, 2022, with ABG-Shaq, LLC (“ABG-Shaq”), an entity affiliated with Shaquille O’Neal, for the personal services of Mr. O’Neal. Mr. O’Neal is a non-independent director of the Company.
The Endorsement Agreement replaces the previous Endorsement Agreement, effective March 15, 2019, by and between the Company, PJMF and ABG-Shaq, as amended (the “Prior Endorsement Agreement”) which expired by its terms on March 15, 2022. The terms of the Endorsement Agreement, which are detailed below, are substantially similar to the Prior Endorsement Agreement.
Pursuant to the Endorsement Agreement, the Company and PJMF received the right and license to use Mr. O’Neal’s name, nickname, initials, autograph, voice, video or film portrayals, photograph, likeness and certain other intellectual property rights (individually and collectively, the “Personality Rights”), in each case, solely as approved by ABG-Shaq, in connection with the advertising, promotion and sale of Papa John’s-branded products. Mr. O’Neal will also provide brand ambassador services related to appearances, social media and public relations matters. The Endorsement Agreement also renewed the offering of the co-branded extra-large pizza product developed among the Company, PJMF and ABG-Shaq under the Prior Endorsement Agreement, and provides that one U.S. dollar for each unit of the co-branded pizza sold in the United States will be donated to The Papa John’s Foundation for Building Community and one Canadian dollar for each unit sold in Canada will be donated to a charity mutually agreed-upon between the parties.
As consideration for the rights and services granted under the Endorsement Agreement, the Company and PJMF agreed to pay to ABG-Shaq aggregate cash payments of $5.625 million over the three years of the Endorsement Agreement. The Company and PJMF will also pay ABG-Shaq a royalty fee for the co-branded pizza product if the total amount of royalties in a given contract year (calculated as $0.20 per co-branded pizza sold) exceeds the contractual cash payment for that year, in which case the amount of the royalty payment will be the excess of the royalties over the cash payment amount. The Company and PJMF will also pay expenses related to the marketing and personal services provided by Mr. O’Neal.
In addition, the Company agreed to grant 55,898 restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) to Mr. O’Neal (as agent of ABG) under the Company’s 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The RSUs will vest into an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock according to the following vesting schedule:
•33% (18,632) of the RSUs will vest on April 12, 2023;
•33% (18,632) of the RSUs will vest on March 15, 2024; and
•33% (18,634) of the RSUs will vest on March 15, 2025.
The initial term of the Endorsement Agreement ends on March 15, 2025, with an option for a one-year extension upon the parties’ mutual agreement. The Endorsement Agreement also includes customary exclusivity, termination, and indemnification clauses.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Papa John’s International, Inc. (referred to as the “Company,” “Papa John’s” or in the first-person notations of “we,” “us” and “our”) began operations in 1984. As of June 26, 2022, there were 5,571 Papa John’s restaurants in operation, consisting of 519 Company-owned and 5,052 franchised restaurants operating in 49 countries and territories. Our revenues are derived from retail sales of pizza and other food and beverage products to the general public by Company-owned restaurants, franchise royalties, and sales of franchise and development rights. Additionally, we derive revenues from sales to franchisees of various items including food and paper products from our domestic Quality Control Centers (“QC Centers”), operation of our international QC Center in the United Kingdom, contributions received by Papa John’s Marketing Fund (“PJMF”) which is our national marketing fund, printing and promotional items and information systems equipment, and software and related services.
Recent Developments and Trends
Innovation. The Company launched Epic Pepperoni Stuffed Crust Pizza and Spicy Pepperoni Rolls in the second quarter of 2022. Epic Pepperoni Stuffed Crust Pizza features original, fresh, never-frozen, dough hand-stuffed with our signature pepperoni and melted cheese, then baked into a seasoned crust, which is finished with Papa John's signature pizza sauce, more cheese, and topped off with more pepperoni. Spicy Pepperoni Rolls feature signature pizza sauce and pepperoni rolled up with jalapenos and creamy melty cheese on our fresh dough. These offers are in addition to our first quarter launch of NY Style pizza which features eight oversized slices on a thin, foldable crust. These 2022 launches have proven to be popular with customers and highly incremental to revenues. Our digital innovation through Papa Rewards, our loyalty program, allows us to directly engage our customers with targeted personalized offers with the goal of driving higher frequency, higher ticket and higher customer satisfaction. Continued investment in one-to-one marketing capabilities is important to our business plan for 2022 and beyond. In the second quarter, we promoted exclusive members-only access to Epic Pepperoni Stuffed Crust before its launch, successfully adding nearly 150,000 new members during the one-week early access period.
Growth Strategy. The Company’s goal continues to be to take market share in the pizza category while leveraging our differentiated strategy and premium position to protect margins in the face of accelerating commodity and labor inflation. We currently expect our 2022 global development outlook to be between 280 and 320 net new restaurants. Our view of our long-term unit opportunity, both domestically and internationally, continues to expand as we sign historic deals to develop within key areas and we expect to open between 1,400 and 1,800 net new Papa John’s restaurants worldwide by the end of 2025, relative to the start of 2022.
Restaurant Staffing and Related Market Impact. Throughout the first six months of 2022, our restaurants continued to navigate a challenging staffing environment. This has impacted customer service and, in limited cases, our ability to deliver or take orders. Our integrations with the aggregator marketplaces and our nationwide integrations with Delivery-as-a-Service providers have been key tools allowing us to continue to serve our customers during peak times. Though these Delivery-as-a-Service transactions are slightly lower margin versus using our own drivers, they are incremental, profitable orders that otherwise may have gone unfulfilled. Papa Call, our centralized order taking and customer service center is another example of our long-term investment to make our team members productive and help them focus on making and delivering great pizza. We will continue to invest capital in technology innovations that can make our teams more productive. Further, we remain focused on continuing to hire great employees and reducing turnover by providing competitive compensation, a great working environment, benefits and compelling career paths. Our goal is to be the employer of choice in our industry, and we've taken many actions to create a strong culture and support our people. In the second quarter of 2022, we released our 2021 Corporate Responsibility Report, outlining our progress against our priorities to create a positive impact on people, pizza and the planet that sets us up for long-term success. Papa John's is the first major publicly traded pizza chain to announce that our executive compensation plan now includes Environmental Social and Governance metrics.

Suspension of Franchisee Support in Russia. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company recognized $17.4 million ($0.48 loss per diluted share) on a pre-tax basis in one-time, non-cash charges related to reserves for certain loans and impairments of reacquired franchised rights due to the conflict in Ukraine and subsequent international government actions and sanctions, which were recorded as Refranchising and impairment loss of $2.8 million and General and administrative expenses of $14.6 million. All assets related to the franchised operations in Russia have been fully reserved or impaired thus, no additional Russia-related charges for reserves, write-offs, or impairments are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
26

Refranchising loss. On March 28, 2022, the Company sold its 51 percent controlling interest in a joint venture between Papa Johns and Blue and Silver Ventures, Ltd. ("Blue and Silver Ventures"). Sun Holdings, a leading multi-brand franchisee operator and one of Papa John’s largest domestic franchise partners, has assumed control of the 90 Papa John’s restaurants in Texas that operated under the joint venture. The Company recorded a one-time, non-cash $8.4 million impairment loss related to the divestiture in the first quarter of 2022 and realized upon consummation of the sale in the second quarter.

Inflation. The differentiated brand positioning of Papa John's has been critical to our success over the past 2.5 years as we have been nimble and adapted our strategy to a constantly changing environment. It's no less important today as we adjust to a new more inflationary and uncertain environment with rising costs and consumers increasingly seeking out value. As consumer sentiment continues to soften, pizza offers tremendous value relative to other quick service restaurants. Using Papa Rewards, we are also able to target more price-sensitive customers with high-value promotions. At the same time, we will continue our successful strategy of letting our customers, especially those who are less price sensitive, to self-select into our premium-priced innovation. However, with unprecedented inflation, we have begun to take some pricing. This has helped partially offset higher food, labor, and fuel costs in our supply chain and restaurants. Our ticket growth has predominantly come through new premium products and add-ons over the past few years. This has afforded us more room to strategically raise prices in this inflationary environment. Papa John's has unique pricing flexibility given our value proposition is focused on delivering premium value, not hitting specific low price points.
Global Restaurant Sales Information
“Comparable sales” represents the change in year-over-year sales for the same base of restaurants for the same fiscal periods. Comparable sales exclude sales of restaurants that were not open during both the current and prior year fiscal periods and franchisees for which we suspended corporate support during the quarter ended March 27, 2022. “Global system-wide restaurant sales” represents total restaurant sales for all Company-owned and franchised stores open during the comparable periods, and “Global system-wide restaurant sales growth” represents the change in total system restaurant sales year-over-year. For the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, global system-wide restaurant sales growth excludes franchisees for which we suspended corporate support during the quarter ended March 27, 2022.
Also, for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, both Comparable sales growth and System-wide restaurant sales growth for Domestic Company-owned restaurants and North America franchised restaurants have been adjusted to reflect the impact of refranchising 90-restaurants during the second quarter of 2022.
We believe North America, international and global restaurant and comparable sales growth and Global system-wide restaurant sales information is useful in analyzing our results since our franchisees pay royalties and marketing fund contributions that are based on a percentage of franchise sales. Comparable sales and Global system-wide restaurant sales results for restaurants operating outside of the United States are reported on a constant dollar basis, which excludes the impact of foreign currency translation. Franchise sales also generate commissary revenue in the United States and in certain international markets. Franchise restaurant and comparable sales growth information is also useful for comparison to industry trends and evaluating the strength of our brand. Management believes the presentation of franchise restaurant sales growth, excluding the impact of foreign currency, provides investors with useful information regarding underlying sales trends and the impact of new unit growth without being impacted by swings in the external factor of foreign currency. Franchise restaurant sales are not included in the Company’s revenues.

Revenues
Consolidated revenues increased $7.7 million, or 1.5% to $522.7 million, and $38.6 million, or 3.8% to $1.1 billion for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively, compared to prior year comparable periods. Excluding the impact of the Company refranchising its 51% ownership in a 90-restaurant consolidated joint venture, consolidated revenues increased $25.6 million, or 5.2%, and $56.9 million, or 5.7%, for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively.
Domestic Company-owned restaurant sales decreased $24.7 million, or 12.6%, and $23.2 million, or 5.9% for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively, compared to the prior year comparable periods. Excluding the impact of refranchising, Domestic Company-owned restaurant sales increased $2.0 million, or 1.2%, and $3.0 million, or 0.9%, for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively, primarily due to innovations and strategic pricing actions to help offset food and labor inflation.
North America franchise royalties and fees increased $2.4 million, or 7.5%, and $4.0 million, or 6.1% for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively, compared to prior year comparable periods. Excluding the impact of refranchising, North America franchise royalties and fees increased $1.1 million, or 3.3%, and $2.7 million, or 4.0% for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively, primarily due to positive comparable sales increases of 1.4% and 2.1% for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, and higher equivalent units of 4.9% and 3.4% for the same periods, respectively.
“Equivalent units” represents the number of restaurants open at the beginning of a given period, adjusted for restaurants opened, closed, acquired or sold during the period on a weighted average basis.
30

North America franchise restaurant sales, excluding the impact of refranchising, increased 2.7% to $753.8 million and 1.4% to $1.5 billion for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively, compared to the prior year comparable periods. North America franchise restaurant sales are not included in Company revenues; however, our North America franchise royalties are derived from these sales.
North America commissary revenues increased $32.7 million, or 17.5% and $57.5 million, or 15.5% for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively, compared to the prior year comparable periods primarily due to higher pricing as a result of increased underlying costs associated with commodity price increases, partially offset by lower volumes.
International revenues decreased $5.7 million, or 15.0% and $5.6 million, or 7.8% for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively, compared to prior year comparable periods, primarily due to lower United Kingdom ("PJUK") commissary revenues and royalties. Additionally, international comparable sales revenues decreased 8.0% and 3.6% for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022. The overall declines in our international revenue performance were largely attributable to a contracting PJUK market where consumer sentiment is reaching historical lows.
International franchise restaurant sales increased to $281.3 million and $585.9 million for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, international franchise restaurant sales increased 3.4% and 8.3% for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively. International franchise restaurant sales are not included in Company revenues; however, our international royalty revenue is derived from these sales.
Other revenues increased $2.8 million, or 4.6%, and $5.9 million, or 4.7%, for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively, compared to the prior year comparable periods primarily due to higher revenues from our technology services attributable to increased North America systemwide comparable sales and equivalent units.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses were approximately $483.8 million, or 92.6% of total revenues for the three months ended June 26, 2022, as compared to $470.4 million or 91.3% of related revenues for the prior year comparable period. For the six months ended June 26, 2022, total costs and expenses were approximately $1.0 billion or 93.9% of total revenues, as compared to $935.3 million, or 91.1% of total revenues for the prior year comparable period. The increases in total costs and expenses, as a percentage of revenues, were primarily due to the following:
Domestic Company-owned restaurant expenses were $142.0 million, or 82.9% of related revenues for the three months ended June 26, 2022, as compared to $154.3 million, or 78.7% of related revenues for the prior year comparable period. For the six months ended June 26, 2022, Domestic Company-owned restaurant expenses were $303.7 million or 82.0% of related revenues, compared to expenses of $310.2 million or 78.9% of related revenues for the prior year comparable period. The expenses, as a percentage of revenues, increased 4.2% and 3.2%, respectively, due to higher food cost attributable to rising commodity prices, which accelerated in the second quarter, and increased labor expense as staffing levels recover at a higher cost. Our strategic pricing actions implemented in the first six months of 2022 helped reduce the impact of the underlying cost pressures.
North America commissary expenses were $204.5 million, or 93.2% of related revenues for the three months ended June 26, 2022, as compared to $172.2 million, or 92.3% of related revenues for the prior year comparable period. For the six months ended June 26, 2022, North America commissary expenses were $401.6 million, or 93.6% of related revenues, compared to $342.9 million, or 92.3% of related revenues for the prior year comparable period. The expenses, as a percentage of related revenues, increased 0.9% and 1.3%, respectively, primarily due to rising commodity prices, principally in cheese, proteins and wheat, and higher delivery cost.
International expenses were $19.2 million, or 60.2% of related revenues for the three months ended June 26, 2022, as compared to $21.4 million, or 57.0% of related revenues for the prior year comparable period. For the six months ended June 26, 2022, International expenses were $39.2 million, or 58.8% of related revenues, compared to $41.0 million, or 56.8% of related revenues for the prior year comparable period. The expenses as a percentage of related revenues, increased 3.2% and 2.0%, respectively, primarily due to higher commodity costs in the PJUK commissary.
Other expenses were $60.6 million, or 93.3% of related revenues for the three months ended June 26, 2022, as compared to $56.2 million, or 90.5% of related revenues for the prior year comparable period. For the six months ended June 26, 2022, Other expenses were $121.2 million, or 93.0% of related revenues, compared to $112.1 million, or 90.0% of related revenues for the prior year comparable period. The expenses as a percentage of related revenues, increased 2.8% and 2.9%
31

respectively, primarily due to timing of expenditures on technology platform initiatives to further enhance our digital capabilities and the customer experience.
General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) were $44.6 million, or 8.5% of revenues three months ended June 26, 2022, compared to $53.7 million, or 10.4% of revenues for the prior year comparable period. For the six months ended June 26, 2022, G&A was $110.6 million, or 10.4% of revenues, compared to $103.7 million, or 10.1% of revenues for the prior year comparable periods.
For the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, G&A consisted of the following (in thousands):

(a)For both the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, Administrative expenses decreased $8.2 million compared to the prior year comparable periods primarily due to lower incentive compensation costs, partially offset by higher labor, travel, and occupancy cost associated with the re-opening of corporate headquarters in the first quarter of 2022.
(b)For the three months ended June 26, 2022, Special items include a $1.5 million charge related to advisory fees and severance costs associated with the transition of certain executives.
For the six months ended June 26, 2022, Special items include a one-time, non-cash provisions of $14.6 million on accounts receivable and notes receivable in connection with the conflict in Ukraine and related government actions, a charge of $5.0 million associated with a legal settlement. See “Note 2” of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for further information regarding one-time, non-cash provision recorded in the first quarter of 2022 and see “Note 9” of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for further discussion regarding the legal settlement.
(c)For the three and six months ended June 27, 2021, Special items of $3.3 million and $7.2 million, respectively, include strategic reorganization costs associated with our new office in Atlanta which concluded at the end of 2021.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $12.7 million, or 2.4% of revenues three months ended June 26, 2022, compared to $12.5 million, or 2.4% of revenues for the prior year comparable period. For the six months ended June 26, 2022, Depreciation and amortization expense was $24.7 million, or 2.3% of revenues, compared to$25.4 million, or 2.5% of revenues, for the prior year comparable periods.
Operating Income by Segment
Operating income decreased $5.7 million to $38.9 million and decreased $38.2 million to $53.3 million for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively, compared to the prior year comparable periods.
The following table summarizes Operating income on a reporting segment basis. Along with reported Operating Income, “Adjusted” Operating income, which excludes Special items, has been presented. The reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial results, as well as the Special items, are included in “Items Impacting Comparability; Non-GAAP Measures.” We believe this non-GAAP measure is important for comparability purposes.

(a) For the six months ended June 26, 2022, Special items impacting Operating income include a one-time, non-cash provisions of $14.6 million on accounts receivable and notes receivable in connection with the conflict in Ukraine and related government actions, a charge of $5.0 million associated with a legal settlement an $8.4 million refranchising loss associated with the sale of our ownership interest in a joint venture including 90-restaurants, $2.8 million for the impairment of certain reacquired franchise rights and a charge of $1.5 million charge related to advisory fees and severance costs associated with the transition of certain executives.
(b) For the six months ended June 27, 2021, Special items impacting Operating income include a charge of $7.2 million related to strategic reorganization costs associated with our new office in Atlanta which concluded at the end of 2021.
Excluding the impact of special items, Operating income decreased $7.6 million, or 15.7% and $13.1 million, or 13.2% for the three and six month ended June 26, 2022, respectively. These decreases were primarily due to the following:
•Domestic Company-owned restaurants decreased $9.4 million and $14.4 million for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively. Excluding the impact of the Company refranchising its 51% ownership in a 90-restaurant consolidated joint venture in the second quarter, Domestic Company-owned restaurants decreased $6.8 million and $11.7 million primarily due to higher commodity and labor cost, partially offset by higher revenues related to strategic pricing actions from higher equivalent units.
•North America franchising increased $2.1 million and $3.8 million for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively. Excluding the impact of the above mentioned refranchising, North America franchising increased $1.2 million and $2.9 million primarily due to positive comparable sales of 1.4% and 2.1% for three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively.
•North America commissaries increased $1.2 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively, primarily due to higher pricing as a result of increased underlying costs associated with commodity price increases, partially offset by lower volumes
•International decreased $1.4 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively, primarily due to lower United Kingdom ("PJUK") commissary revenues and royalties attributed to lower comparable sales, which declined 8.0% and 3.6%, for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively.
•All Others, which primarily includes our online and mobile ordering business and our marketing funds, decreased $2.7 million and $5.1 million for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022 compared to the prior year comparable periods primarily due to timing of expenditures for technology support initiatives.
•Unallocated corporate expenses decreased $3.5 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively. The decrease for the six months ended June 26, 2022, compared to prior year
34

comparable period primarily due to lower incentive compensation costs, partially offset by higher labor, travel, and occupancy cost associated with the re-opening of corporate headquarters in the first quarter of 2022.
Refranchising and Impairment loss
On March 28, 2022, we refranchised our 51 percent ownership interest in a 90-restaurant consolidated joint venture between Papa Johns and Blue and Silver Ventures in Texas for cash proceeds of $14.0 million, net of transaction costs. We recorded a one-time, non-cash charge of $8.4 million in the first quarter related to the divestiture. The Company also recorded an impairment loss of $2.8 million for reacquired franchise rights due to the financial and operational impact of the conflict in Ukraine and government actions taken in response to that conflict, including, but not limited to, international sanctions.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense increased $2.4 million, or 66.7%, and $3.0 million, or 41.8% for three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively due to higher average outstanding debt on our revolving credit facility. Total debt outstanding was $545 million and $490 million as of June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021, respectively.
Income Before Income Taxes
For the reasons discussed above, income before income taxes decreased approximately $8.2 million, or 19.9%, and $41.2 million, or 48.9%, for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively, over the prior year comparable periods.

35

Income Tax Expense
Our effective income tax rates were 21.6% and 13.6% for three and six months ended June 26, 2022 compared to 18.0% and 18.2% for the prior year comparable periods. The decrease in the effective rate for the six months ended June 26, 2022 was caused by higher excess tax benefits generated by stock option exercises and vesting of restricted shares in addition to an overall decrease in pre-tax income.

Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Diluted earnings per common share was $0.70 for the three months ended June 26, 2022, compared to diluted loss per common share of $(2.30) in the prior year comparable period. For the six months ended June 26, 2022, diluted earnings per common share was $0.99, compared to diluted loss per common share of $(1.47) for the prior year comparable period. Excluding the impact of Special items, adjusted diluted earnings per common share were $0.74 and $1.69 for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively, compared to adjusted diluted earnings per common share of $0.93 and $1.94 for the prior year comparable periods. Diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended June 26, 2022 included Special items of $25.0 million, net of tax, primarily related to refranchising losses associated with the divestiture of our controlling interest in the joint venture with Blue and Silver Ventures, impairment losses of certain loans and reacquired franchised rights, and the Legal Settlement. Diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended June 27, 2021 included Special items of $115.4 million, net of tax, primarily due to reorganization costs and the reduction in net income attributable to common shareholders related to the repurchase and conversion of all shares of the Company's former Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock") in May 2021. These reductions reflect the excess of the one-time cash payment over the carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock. See “Items Impacting Comparability; Non-GAAP Measures” for additional information.
Impact of Inflation
Given the accelerating inflationary environment and short-term commodity volatility experienced in the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, there have been and may continue to be increases in food costs and labor costs which have and could further impact our profitability. Inflationary factors such as increased food costs, increased labor and employee health and benefit costs, increased rent costs and increased energy costs have and may continue to adversely affect our operating costs and profitability. Severe sustained increases in inflation could affect the global and U.S. economies and could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. To the extent permitted by competition, increased costs are recovered through a combination of selective menu price increases, product mix, and/or implementing operational improvements.

Items Impacting Comparability; Non-GAAP Measures
The table below reconciles our GAAP financial results to our adjusted financial results, which are non-GAAP measures. We present these non-GAAP measures because we believe the Special items impact the comparability of our results of operations. See “Note 2”, “Note 9”, and “Note 10” of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” for additional information about the Special items.

The 2022 non-GAAP adjusted results shown above and within this document, which exclude Special items, should not be construed as a substitute for or a better indicator of the Company’s performance than the Company’s GAAP results. Management believes presenting certain financial information excluding Special items is important for purposes of comparison to prior year results. In addition, management uses these metrics to evaluate the Company’s underlying operating performance and to analyze trends.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
The table below summarizes our cash flows from continuing operations for the six months ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021:
Six Months Ended
June 26,
2022		June 27,

Financing activities(50,677)(142,871)
Change in cash and cash equivalents, excluding the impact of foreign currency$(17,615)$(34,308)
Operating Activities
Cash flow provided by operating activities was $45.6 million for the six months ended June 26, 2022 compared to $128.0 million for the corresponding period of 2021. The decrease of $82.4 million was primarily reflects lower cash flow from operating activities as a result of overall business performance, lower accrued expenses, and the impact of timing of certain marketing payments.
Investing Activities
Cash flow used in investing activities was $12.5 million for the six months ended June 26, 2022 compared to $19.5 million for the same period in 2021, or a decrease of $6.9 million. The decrease in cash flow used in investing activities was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures, partly offset by $14.0 million in proceeds, net of transaction costs, from the impact of refranchising 90-restaurants in the first quarter of 2022.
Our capital expenditures consisted primarily of capital investments for existing stores, new store locations and capital expenditures for strategic initiatives. We estimate that our capital expenditures during 2022 will be approximately $75 million to $85 million. This estimate includes the acquisition of sites and construction costs for new Company-owned stores that have opened or that we expect to open during 2022. We intend to fund our capital expenditures with cash generated by operations and borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility with an aggregate available principal amount of the $600 million (the "PJI Revolving Facility"), as necessary.
Financing Activities
Cash flow used in financing activities was $50.7 million the six months ended June 26, 2022 compared to $142.9 million for the same period of 2021. The decrease of $92.2 million in cash flow used in financing activities reflects payment of cash consideration for the repurchase and conversion of all of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock outstanding in 2021, offset by increased repurchases of Company common stock and a decrease in proceeds from our revolving credit facility.
Debt
Our outstanding debt as of June 26, 2022 was $545.0 million, which was comprised of $400.0 million outstanding under our 3.875% senior notes (the "Notes") and $145.0 million under the PJI Revolving Facility. Remaining availability under the PJI Revolving Facility was approximately $455.0 million as of June 26, 2022.

Our amended and restated credit agreement, dated September 14, 2021 (the "Amended Credit Agreement") contains affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, require customary reporting obligations and restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the occurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, the consummation of certain mergers, consolidations, sales of assets and similar transactions, the making of investments, equity distributions and other restricted payments, and transactions with affiliates. The Company is also subject to certain financial covenants, as shown in the following table, that could restrict or impose constraints on the liquidity of our business:
Permitted RatioActual Ratio as of June 26, 2022
Leverage ratioNot to exceed 5.25 to 1.02.3 to 1.0
Interest coverage ratioNot less than 2.00 to 1.04.5 to 1.0
Our leverage ratio is defined as outstanding debt divided by consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the most recent four fiscal quarters. Our interest coverage ratio is defined as the sum of consolidated EBITDA and consolidated rental expense for the most recent four fiscal quarters divided by the sum of consolidated interest expense and consolidated rental expense for the most recent four fiscal quarters. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of June 26, 2022.
In addition, the Indenture governing the Notes contains customary covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness; pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem our capital stock; prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; issue certain preferred stock or similar equity securities; make loans and investments; sell assets; incur liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.
Papa John’s Marketing Fund, Inc. (“PJMF”), our national marketing fund, has a $20.0 million revolving line of credit (the “PJMF Revolving Facility”) pursuant to a Revolving Loan Agreement, dated September 30, 2015 with U.S. Bank National Association, as lender. There was no debt outstanding under the PJMF Revolving Facility as of June 26, 2022 or December 26, 2021. The PJMF operating results and the related debt outstanding do not impact the financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement.
Share Repurchases
As part of our long-term growth and capital allocation strategy, we are committed to investing in share repurchases to provide ongoing value and enhanced returns to our shareholders. On October 28, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program with an indefinite duration for up to $425.0 million of the Company’s common stock. The share repurchase program operated alongside our previous $75.0 million share repurchase authorization, which began on November 4, 2020 and expired on December 26, 2021.
The following table summarizes our repurchase activity under these programs for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021:

Subsequent to June 26, 2022, we acquired an additional 229,000 shares at an aggregate cost of $19.5 million. Approximately $329.8 million remained available under the Company’s share repurchase program as of July 29, 2022.
The Company utilizes a written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, from time to time to facilitate the repurchase of shares of our common stock under this share repurchase program. There can be no assurance that we will repurchase shares of our common stock either through a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan or otherwise.
Dividends
The Company recorded dividends of approximately $25.1 million ($0.70 per share) for the six months ended June 26, 2022. On August 2, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a second quarter dividend of $0.42 per common share (approximately $14.9 million in the aggregate), which will be paid on August 26, 2022 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 15, 2022. The declaration and payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net cash provided by operating activities (from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows) less the purchases of property and equipment and dividends paid to preferred stockholders. We view free cash flow as an important financial measure because it is one factor that management uses in determining the amount of cash available for discretionary investment. Free cash flow is not a term defined by GAAP, and as a result, our measure of free cash flow might not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Free cash flow should not be construed as a substitute for or a better indicator of the Company’s performance than the Company’s GAAP measures. See “Items Impacting Comparability; Non-GAAP Measures” for a discussion of free cash flow.
The Company’s free cash flow was as follows for the six-months periods of 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Cash Requirements
There have been no material changes in our cash requirements other than in the ordinary course of business since the end of 2021. Refer to “Cash Requirements” presented within “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2021 for additional information regarding our cash requirements.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other Company communications that are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Generally, the use of words such as “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “will,” “forecast,” "outlook", “plan,” “project,” or similar words identify forward-looking statements that we intend to be included within the safe harbor protections provided by the federal securities laws. Such forward-looking statements include or may relate to projections or guidance concerning business performance, revenue, earnings, cash flow, earnings per share, share repurchases, the current economic environment, the financial impact of the temporary business disruptions and changes in demand we are experiencing related to the current outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, commodity and labor costs, currency fluctuations, profit margins, unit growth, unit level performance, capital expenditures, restaurant and franchise development, the duration of changes in consumer behavior caused by the pandemic, labor shortages and price increases,

For a discussion of these and other risks that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, refer to “Part I. Item 1A. – Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2021 and “Part II. Item IA. – Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter end March 27, 2022, as well as subsequent filings. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise, except as required by law.
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes on our PJI Revolving Facility. We attempt to minimize interest rate risk exposure by fixing our interest rate through the utilization of interest rate swaps, which are derivative financial instruments. The interest rate swaps were de-designated following the issuance of the Notes in the third quarter of 2021. Our swaps are entered into with financial institutions that participate in the PJI Revolving Facility. By using a derivative instrument to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates, we expose ourselves to credit risk due to the possible failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. We do not enter into contracts for trading purposes and do not use leveraged instruments. The market risks associated with our debt obligations as of June 26, 2022 have not changed from those reported in “Part II. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2021. See “Note 8” of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information on our debt obligations and derivative instruments.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations from our operations outside of the United States, which can adversely impact our revenues, net income and cash flows. Our international operations principally consist of distribution sales to franchised Papa John’s restaurants located in the United Kingdom and our franchise sales and support activities, which derive revenues from sales of franchise and development rights and the collection of royalties from our international franchisees. Approximately, 6.1% and 6.2% of our revenues were derived from these operations for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively, as compared to 7.3% and 7.0% for the prior year comparable periods.
We have not historically hedged our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations had an unfavorable impact of approximately $3.2 million and $4.4 million on International revenues for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively, and a favorable impact of $3.8 million and $5.8 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2021, respectively. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations had an unfavorable impact of approximately $0.4 million and $1.0 million on operating income for the three and six months ended June 26, 2022, respectively, and a favorable impact of $0.9 million and $1.4 million on operating income for the three and six months ended June 27, 2021, respectively.
Commodity Price Risk
In the ordinary course of business, the food and paper products we purchase, including cheese (our largest individual food cost item), are subject to seasonal fluctuations, weather, availability, demand and other factors that are beyond our control. We have pricing agreements with some of our vendors, including forward pricing agreements for a portion of our cheese purchases for our domestic Company-owned restaurants, which are accounted for as normal purchases; however, we remain exposed to on-going commodity volatility.
42

The following table presents the actual average block price for cheese by quarter through the second quarter of 2022 and the projected average block price by quarter for 2022 (based on the July 29, 2022 Chicago Mercantile Exchange cheese futures market prices):
20222021
Projected
Block Price		Actual
Block Price
Quarter 1$1.966$1.676
Quarter 22.2961.680
Quarter 32.0181.676
Quarter 42.0851.786
Full Year$2.091*$1.705
*The full year estimate is based on futures prices and does not include the impact of forward pricing agreements we have for a portion of our cheese purchases for our domestic Company-owned restaurants. Additionally, the price charged to restaurants can vary somewhat by quarter from the actual block price based upon our monthly pricing mechanism.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon this evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there was no change made in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in a number of lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings consisting of intellectual property, employment, consumer, commercial and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 450, “Contingencies”, the Company has made accruals with respect to these matters, where appropriate, which are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. We review these provisions at least quarterly and adjust these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. The legal proceedings described in Note 9 of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” within “Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Form 10-Q are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as set forth in "Part II. Item IA - Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 27, 2022, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2021.
Like other businesses, we have experienced some increased costs for transportation, energy, and commodities due in part to the negative impact of the military conflict in Ukraine on the global economy. Further escalation of geopolitical tensions, including increased trade barriers or restrictions on global trade, could result in, among other things, cyberattacks, supply disruptions, lower consumer demand, and changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets, any of which may adversely affect our business and supply chain. In addition, the effects of the ongoing conflict could heighten many of our
43

known risks described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2021.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Share Repurchase Program

The Company utilizes a written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, from time to time to facilitate the repurchase of shares of our common stock under this share repurchase program. There can be no assurance that we will repurchase shares of our common stock either through a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan or otherwise.
