Current report
On April 23, 2025, the Company announced a multi-faceted plan, which included exploring strategic alternatives for the Del Taco brand and the possible divestiture of that business. The plan also included selling a select number of owned real estate holdings, as well as discontinuing its dividend, and directing a majority of those funds toward paying down debt. Additionally, the plan discussed a closure program, which is projected to result in the closure of approximately 150-200 underperforming Jack in the Box restaurants.
Current report
Franchise rental revenues decreased $1.7 million, or 2.1% in the quarter, and $1.5 million, or 0.8% year-to-date, compared to the prior year. For the quarter, the decrease was primarily due to lower percentage rent of $4.3 million, partially offset by lease termination fees of $3.4 million. The decrease year-to-date was primarily due to lower percentage rent of $6.0 million, partially offset by lease termination fees of $3.4 million and higher pass through property tax revenue of $1.2 million.
Current report
Franchise contributions for advertising and other services revenues decreased $3.2 million, or 6.4% in the quarter and $2.7 million, or 2.3% year-to-date, as compared to the prior year. The decrease in the quarter is primarily due to lower marketing contributions of $2.3 million in connection with lower sales, and a decrease in digital fees of $0.9 million. On a year-to-date basis, the decrease is primarily due to lower marketing contributions of $2.0 million in connection with lower sales, as well as a decrease in digital fees of $0.7 million.

Current report
Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Current report
As of the March 16, 2025 testing date, the balance of the Del Taco reporting unit goodwill was $25.3 million. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company identified triggering events that indicated the goodwill allocated to the Del Taco reporting unit might be impaired. The triggering events related to i) continued negative trend in Del Taco same store sales, ii) unfavorable changes in the economic environment specifically impacting our industry, including inflation and interest rates, iii) the potential for a divestment of Del Taco, and iv) a sustained lower share price. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative test over the Del Taco reporting unit, noting that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than the carrying value, which resulted in an impairment of goodwill of $25.3 million.
Current report
Additionally, as a result of the quantitative test over the Del Taco reporting unit, the Company also impaired the trademark asset associated with the Del Taco reporting unit in the amount of $177.9 million.
Current report
Income Taxes
Current report
For the second quarter and year-to-date fiscal year 2025, the Company recorded income tax benefits of $34.6 million and $20.2 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 19.5% and 15.7%, respectively. The effective tax rates for such periods differed from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to non-deductible goodwill impairment and non-deductible losses from the market performance of insurance products used to fund certain non-qualified retirement plans.
Current report
For the second quarter and year-to-date fiscal year 2024, the Company recorded income tax expenses of $9.0 million and $23.2 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 26.5% and 26.7%, respectively. The effective tax rates for such periods differed from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to non-deductible goodwill attributable to refranchising transactions and non-deductible officers’ compensation substantially offset by non-taxable gains from the market performance of insurance products used to fund certain non-qualified retirement plans.

Income Tax Expense
Previous report
The income tax provisions reflect a year-to-date effective tax rate of 29.8%, compared with 26.9% in fiscal year 2024. The major components of the year-over-year increase in tax rates were an increase in tax expenses on share-based compensation and non-deductible losses in the current year as opposed to non-taxable gains in the prior year from the market performance of insurance products used to fund certain non-qualified retirement plans, partially offset by a decrease in the impact of non-deductible goodwill related to the sale of company-operated restaurants.
