Item 8.01. Other Events
On October 10, 2012, the Registrant provided supplementary financial information
applicable to fiscal years 2010, 2011 and 2012 via the Registrant's website
www.Brinker.com as a result of a change in revenue presentation effective for
the fiscal first quarter ended September 26, 2012. The Registrant will report
revenues in two separate captions on the consolidated statements of income in an
effort to provide more clarity around revenue and operating expense trends. One
caption will include revenues generated by the operation of company-owned
restaurants and the other will primarily include revenues generated by franchise
operations. Revenue amounts for fiscal years 2010, 2011 and 2012 have been
reclassified in the supplementary financial information to conform to the fiscal
2013 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the Registrant's
total revenue as previously reported. The Registrant believes this additional
historical information is valuable in understanding the revenue trends and will
provide greater comparability with the fiscal 2013 financial information.
