PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

EXPLANATORY NOTE

As described in Papa John’s International, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 26, 2013 and Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2012 filed on February 28, 2013, in connection with the evaluation of the accounting for newly formed joint ventures, the Company reviewed the accounting for its previously existing joint venture arrangements. As a result of the review, the Company determined an error occurred in the accounting for one joint venture agreement, which contained a mandatorily redeemable feature added through a contract amendment in the third quarter of 2009. This provision contained in the 2009 contract amendment was not previously considered in determining the classification and measurement of the noncontrolling interest. In addition, the Company determined that an additional redeemable noncontrolling interest was incorrectly classified in shareholders’ equity and should be classified as temporary equity. As a result, the Company is filing this amendment to its Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 24, 2012, to amend and restate the financial statements and other financial information contained herein to correct the errors.

This Form 10-Q/A amends the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 24, 2012 as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 31, 2012 (the “Original Filing”). This Form 10-Q/A amends the Original Filing solely to correct the Company’s accounting for noncontrolling interests related to our joint ventures as more fully described in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Revisions to the Original Filing have been made to the following items solely as a result of and to reflect the restatements and no other information in the Original Filing is amended herein:

Item 1 – Financial Statements
Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Item 4 – Controls and Procedures
Item 6 – Exhibits

The restatements resulted in decreases in diluted earnings per share of $0.02 and $0.01 for the three and six months ended June 24, 2012, respectively, and a decrease in diluted earnings per share of $0.02 for the six months ended June 26, 2011 (no impact for the three-month period ended June 26, 2011). The corrections had no impact on total revenues, operating income or operating cash flows and had no impact on the Company’s compliance with debt covenants in any period presented.

The Company has also determined that a control deficiency related to the process of accounting for certain redemption features of the noncontrolling interests of our joint venture agreements, which gave rise to these restatements, constituted a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting.  As a result, the Company has reviewed all existing joint venture agreements to ensure the accounting for any such redemption features was in compliance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, we are in the process of developing enhanced control procedures designed to ensure proper accounting for any future non-routine contracts or contract amendments. The material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. See “Item 4 – Controls and Procedures.”

For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the Original Filing in its entirety. Except for the amended information referred to above, no other information in the Original Filing is amended and this Form 10-Q/A continues to describe conditions as of the date of the Original Filing and the Company has not modified or updated other disclosures presented in the Original Filing. This Form 10-Q/A does not reflect events occurring after the date of the Original Filing nor does it modify or update disclosures affected by subsequent events.  Accordingly, this Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2012, and subsequent filings made with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

We are restating our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended June 24, 2012 and June 26, 2011. In connection with the evaluation of the accounting for newly formed joint ventures, we reviewed our accounting for our previously existing joint venture arrangements. As a result of our review, we determined an error occurred in the accounting for one joint venture agreement, which contained a mandatorily redeemable feature added through a contract amendment in the third quarter of 2009. This provision contained in the 2009 contract amendment was not previously considered in determining the classification and measurement of the noncontrolling interest. In addition, we determined that an additional redeemable noncontrolling interest was incorrectly classified in shareholders’ equity and should be classified as temporary equity.

To correctly reflect the appropriate measurement of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests, we recorded a $3.1 million adjustment, net of income taxes, to ending 2010 retained earnings in our Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity to adjust the previously reported balance sheet to its redemption value as of December 26, 2010. Additionally, we also corrected the classification errors of the redeemable noncontrolling interests from stockholders’ equity to either other long-term liabilities or redeemable noncontrolling interests in our consolidated balance sheets. The impact of the restatements on the financial statements is outlined in the tables below (in thousands, except per share data). The corrections had no impact on total revenues, operating income or operating cash flows and had no impact on our compliance with debt covenants in any period presented.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete 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 six months ended June 24, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2012. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A 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 25, 2011.

Significant Accounting Policies

Comprehensive Income

The Company adopted the required Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) Nos. 2011-05 and 2011-12, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income in the first quarter of 2012 on a retrospective basis. The updated guidance does not change the components of comprehensive income, but eliminates certain options for presenting comprehensive income in the financial statements. In accordance with this updated guidance, we no longer present components of comprehensive income in our Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. Instead, we are now required to present components of comprehensive income in either one continuous financial statement with two sections, net income and comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. We elected the one continuous financial statement approach in the accompanying financial statements.

Noncontrolling Interests

The Consolidation topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) requires all entities to report noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries as equity in the consolidated financial statements, but separate from the equity of the parent company. The Consolidation topic further requires that consolidated net income be reported at amounts attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, rather than expensing the income attributable to the noncontrolling interest holder. Additionally, disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent company and the interests of the noncontrolling owners, including a disclosure on the face of the consolidated statements for income attributable to the noncontrolling interest holder.

Papa John’s had two joint venture arrangements as of June 24, 2012 and June 26, 2011, which were as follows:

Total income before income taxes
  $ 3,026     $ 2,447     $ 6,395     $ 5,367  

The Colonel’s Limited, LLC agreement contains a mandatory redemption clause and, accordingly, the Company has recorded this noncontrolling interest as a liability at its redemption value in other long-term liabilities.

The Star Papa, LP agreement contains a redemption feature that is not currently redeemable, but it is probable to become redeemable in the future. Due to specific valuation provisions contained in the agreement, this noncontrolling interest has been recorded at its carrying value in temporary equity.

The total of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest and the redeemable noncontrolling interest holders’ equity totaled $16.0 million as of June 24, 2012 and $15.0 million as of December 25, 2011.

As more fully described in Note 1, we have corrected errors in our accounting for noncontrolling interests related to our joint ventures.

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 our 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. 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 loss carryforwards. The effect on deferred taxes of changes in tax rates is recognized in the period in which the new tax is enacted. As a result, our effective tax rate may fluctuate. Valuation allowances are established when necessary on a jurisdictional basis to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts we expect to realize. As of June 24, 2012, we had a net deferred tax liability of approximately $800,000.

Tax authorities periodically audit the Company. We record reserves for identified exposures and related interest and penalties. We evaluate these issues on a quarterly basis to adjust for events, such as court rulings or audit settlements, which may impact our ultimate payment for such exposures.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and filed. There were no subsequent events that required recognition or disclosure.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

The Company is required to determine 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. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are required to be classified and disclosed in one of the following 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.

Our financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 24, 2012 and December 25, 2011 are as follows (in thousands):

There were no transfers among levels within the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 24, 2012.

The fair value of our interest rate swap 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 swap, as well as considering published discount factors, and projected London Interbank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”).

5.  Debt

Our long-term debt is comprised of the outstanding balance under our revolving line of credit.  The balance was $50.0 million as of June 24, 2012 and $51.5 million as of December 25, 2011.

In September 2010, we entered into a five-year, $175.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility was amended in November 2011 (the “Amended Credit Facility”), which extended the maturity date of the Credit Facility to November 30, 2016. Under the Amended Credit Facility, outstanding balances accrue interest at 75 basis points to 150 basis points over LIBOR or other bank developed rates at our option (previously interest accrued at 100 basis points to 175 basis points above LIBOR). The remaining availability under the Amended Credit Facility, reduced for outstanding letters of credit, was approximately $111.5 million as of June 24, 2012. The fair value of the outstanding debt approximates the carrying value since the debt agreements are variable-rate instruments.

The Amended Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants requiring the maintenance of specified fixed charges and leverage ratios. At June 24, 2012, we were in compliance with these covenants.

In August 2011, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement that provides for a fixed rate of 0.53%, as compared to LIBOR, with a notional amount of $50.0 million. The interest rate swap agreement expires in August 2013. We previously had two interest rate swap agreements that expired in January 2011. The previous swap agreements provided for fixed rates of 4.98% and 3.74%, as compared to LIBOR, with each having a notional amount of $50.0 million.

Our swaps are derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges because the swaps provide a hedge against the effects of rising interest rates on borrowings. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the swap is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the swap affects earnings. Gains or losses on the swap representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. Amounts payable or receivable under the swap are accounted for as adjustments to interest expense. As of June 24, 2012, the swap is a highly effective cash flow hedge.

The weighted average interest rates for our revolving credit facilities, including the impact of the swap agreements, were 1.3% and 1.2% for the three months ended June 24, 2012 and June 26, 2011, respectively, and 1.3% and 2.4% for the six months ended June 24, 2012 and June 26, 2011, respectively. Interest paid, including payments made or received under the swaps, was $232,000 and $248,000 for the three months ended June 24, 2012 and June 26, 2011, respectively, and $482,000 and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 24, 2012 and June 26, 2011, respectively. As of June 24, 2012, the portion of the $127,000 interest rate swap liability that would be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months as interest expense approximates $109,000.

Shares subject to options to purchase common stock with an exercise price greater than the average market price were not included in the computation of earnings per common share – assuming dilution because the effect would have been antidilutive. The weighted average number of shares subject to the antidilutive options was 269,000 for the three months ended June 26, 2011 and 355,000 for the six months ended June 26, 2011 (none for the three and six months ended June 24, 2012).

Acquisition and Divestiture of Restaurants

On April 23, 2012, we completed the acquisition of 56 franchised Papa John’s restaurants located in the Denver and Minneapolis markets. The purchase price, which was paid in cash, was $5.2 million net of divestiture proceeds of $0.7 million from the sale of six restaurants located in the Denver market to an existing franchisee. This business combination was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting, whereby operating results subsequent to the acquisition date are included in our consolidated financial results.

The preliminary purchase price of the acquisition has been allocated based on initial fair value estimates as follows (in thousands):


Property and equipment
  $ 1,602  
Reacquired franchise right
    245  
Goodwill
    3,830  
Other, including cash
    239  
Total purchase price
  $ 5,916  

The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill, all of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

8.  Commitments and Contingencies

In connection with the 2006 sale of our former Perfect Pizza operations in the United Kingdom, we remain contingently liable for payment of certain lease agreements, primarily associated with Perfect Pizza restaurant sites for which the Perfect Pizza franchisor was primarily liable. As the initial party to the lease agreements, we are liable to the extent the primary obligor does not satisfy its payment obligations.
 
On August 1, 2011 the High Court of Justice Chancery Division, Birmingham District Registry entered an order placing Perfect Pizza in administration, thereby providing Perfect Pizza with protection from its creditors in accordance with UK insolvency law. On the same date, the administrators entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of the business and assets of Perfect Pizza. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the buyer had an option period up to nine months, which expired May 1, 2012, to determine which Perfect Pizza leases they would assume. We remain contingently liable for approximately 40 leases, which have varying terms with most expiring by the end of 2015. The estimated maximum amount of undiscounted rental payments we would be required to make in the event of non-payment under these leases is approximately $1.9 million, net of amounts reserved of approximately $800,000.
 
In addition, we are subject to claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. We believe that all such claims and actions currently pending against us are either adequately covered by insurance or would not have a material adverse effect on us if decided in a manner unfavorable to us.

9.  Segment Information

We have defined six reportable segments: domestic Company-owned restaurants, domestic commissaries, North America franchising, international operations, variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and “all other” units.

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 and side items, such as breadsticks, cheesesticks, chicken strips, chicken wings, dessert pizza, and soft drinks to the general public. The domestic commissary 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. 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 operations segment principally consists of our Company-owned restaurants in China and distribution sales to franchised Papa John’s restaurants located in the United Kingdom, Mexico and China 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. BIBP Commodities, Inc., a franchisee-owned corporation, which operated through February 2011, was a VIE in which we were deemed the primary beneficiary, and is the only activity reflected in the VIE segment. All other business units that do not meet the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments, which are not operating segments, we refer to as our “all other” segment, which consists of operations that derive revenues from the sale, principally to Company-owned and franchised restaurants, of printing and promotional items, risk management services, and information systems and related services used in restaurant operations, including our online and other technology-based ordering platforms.

Generally, we evaluate performance and allocate resources based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes and eliminations. Certain administrative and capital costs are allocated to segments based upon predetermined rates or actual 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.

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 1985. At June 24, 2012, there were 3,973 Papa John’s restaurants (676 Company-owned and 3,297 franchised) operating in all 50 states and 33 countries. Our revenues are principally derived from retail sales of pizza and other food and beverage products to the general public by Company-owned restaurants, franchise royalties, sales of franchise and development rights, sales to franchisees of food and paper products, printing and promotional items, risk management services, and information systems and related services used in their operations.

The results of operations are based on the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to select accounting policies for critical accounting areas and make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant changes in assumptions and/or conditions in our critical accounting policies could materially impact the operating results.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
 
In connection with the evaluation of the accounting for newly formed joint ventures, we reviewed our accounting for our previously existing joint venture arrangements. As a result of our review, we determined an error occurred in the accounting for one joint venture agreement, which contained a mandatorily redeemable feature added through a contract amendment in the third quarter of 2009. This provision contained in the 2009 contract amendment was not previously considered in determining the classification and measurement of the noncontrolling interest. In addition, we determined an additional redeemable noncontrolling interest was incorrectly classified in shareholders' equity and should be classified as temporary equity, which impacted the consolidated balance sheets and statements of stockholders' equity. As such, we are restating our previously issued consolidated financial statements within this report. The correction of the error related to the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest had an impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, interest expense, income tax expense, and net income which is reflected herein for 2012 and 2011. The restatements resulted in decreases in diluted earnings per share of $0.02 and $0.01 for the three and six months ended June 24, 2012, respectively, and a decrease in diluted earnings per share of $0.02 for the six months ended June 26, 2011 (no impact for the three-month period ended June 26, 2011). The corrections were recorded to our “Unallocated Corporate Expenses” segment. The corrections had no impact on total revenues, operating income, or operating cash flows and had no impact on our compliance with debt covenants in any period presented. See “Note 1” and “Note 2” of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information.

Non-GAAP Measures

In connection with a new multi-year supplier agreement, the Company received a $5.0 million supplier marketing payment in the first quarter of 2012. The Company is recognizing the supplier marketing payment evenly as income over the five-year term of the agreement ($250,000 per quarter). The Company then contributed the supplier marketing payment to the Papa John’s Marketing Fund (“PJMF”), an unconsolidated, non-profit corporation, for the benefit of domestic restaurants. The Company contribution to PJMF was fully expensed in the first quarter of 2012.

PJMF elected to distribute the $5.0 million supplier marketing payment to the domestic system as advertising credits in the first quarter of 2012. Our domestic Company-owned restaurants’ portion of the advertising credits resulted in an increase in income before income taxes of approximately $1.0 million for the six months ended June 24, 2012.

The overall impact of these transactions, defined as the “Incentive Contribution,” was a net increase to income before income taxes of approximately $250,000 for the three months ended June 24, 2012 and a reduction of $3.5 million for the six months ended June 24, 2012. The impact for full-year 2012 will be a reduction to income before income taxes of approximately $3.0 million (or a reduction to diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.08).

The following table reconciles our GAAP financial results to the adjusted financial results, excluding the impact of the Incentive Contribution, for the three and six months ended June 24, 2012:
