Reworded

We cannot assure you that we will be able to open new restaurants that are profitable in accordance with our expansion plans. We have experienced delays in opening some of our restaurants in the past and may experience delays in the future. These delays impact the timing of new restaurant openings and the related pre-opening expenses. Delays or failures in opening new restaurants could adversely affect our growth strategy. One of our biggest challenges in executing our growth strategy may be locating and securing an adequate supply of suitable new restaurant sites that satisfy our financial targets. Competition for suitable restaurant sites in our target markets may be intense.

Added

Our profitability depends in part on changes in food and supply costs and/or the availability of products necessary to operate our business, including increased costs arising from federal and/or state mandated requirements. An increase in food prices or loss of supply, particularly proteins, could adversely affect our operating results. In 2025, we experienced higher than normal commodity inflation, specifically relating to beef, impacting our restaurant margin and we are anticipating these higher inflationary conditions to continue into 2026.

Added

We are susceptible to increases in food costs as a result of factors beyond our control, such as food supply constrictions, inflationary cycles, weather conditions, food safety concerns, global pandemics, product recalls, global market and trade conditions, and government regulations including the imposition of tariffs. We cannot predict whether we will be able to anticipate and react to changing food costs and/or loss of supply by adjusting our purchasing practices, menu prices, or menu offerings, and a failure to do so could adversely affect our operating results. Extreme and/or long term increases in commodity prices could adversely affect our future results, especially if we are unable, primarily due to competitive reasons, to increase menu prices. Additionally, if there is a time lag between the increasing commodity prices and our ability to increase menu prices or if we believe the commodity price increase to be short in duration and we choose not to pass on the cost increases, our short-term results could be negatively affected. Also, if we adjust pricing there is no assurance that we will realize the full benefit of any adjustment due to changes in our guests’ menu item selections and guest traffic.

Added

We currently purchase our beef primarily from four beef suppliers coming from the United States or Canada. These suppliers represent a significant portion of the total beef marketplace. If any of these vendors were unable to fulfill their obligations under their contracts, we could encounter supply shortages and/or incur higher costs to secure adequate supplies, either of which would harm our business.

Added

You should not rely on past changes in our average unit volume or comparable restaurant sales as an indication of our future results of operations, as these metrics may fluctuate significantly over time. A wide range of factors, both within and beyond our control, have historically influenced, and will likely continue to influence, average unit volume and comparable restaurant sales. These factors include, among others, the level of consumer awareness and perception of our restaurant concepts with respect to quality, price, value, and service; the effectiveness of our business strategy; our ability to sustain higher levels of to-go sales and differentiate our concepts within off-premise channels; and the impact of competition both from other restaurants (including fast-casual and quick-service establishments) and alternative food service providers, such as delivery services, meal kits, and grocery stores. Additional factors that can affect our performance include our ability to implement menu price increases without negatively impacting guest traffic or average check size; general economic conditions, adverse weather patterns and natural disasters; seasonal consumer trends; the introduction of new menu items and changes in pricing; a loss of parking or access rights resulting from government action or private transactions; and negative publicity related to food safety, health concerns, service quality, or the integrity of our suppliers’ food processing.

Removed

A number of factors have historically affected, and will continue to affect, our average unit volume and comparable restaurant sales, including, among other factors:

Added

If we fail to protect the reputation of our brands, our guest traffic, sales, and overall financial performance could be materially adversely affected.

Added

The strength of our Company depends heavily on the value and reputation of our brands. Our ability to attract and retain guests, employees, and franchise partners; maintain pricing power; and grow domestically and internationally is directly tied to brand perception. Negative publicity or events, whether or not accurate, could significantly damage our reputation and the value of our brands, reduce demand, and impair our operating results.

Added

Reputational harm could arise from a wide range of factors, including concerns about food quality or safety; food-borne illness claims; tampering or contamination incidents; poor health inspection results; supply chain or processing issues involving us or our vendors; facility conditions; guest complaints; alcohol related incidents; litigation; security breaches or technology failures; employee and/or labor relations concerns, including, but not limited to, allegations of harassment, discrimination, retaliation, or other misconduct; alleged violations of laws, regulations, or industry standards; and politically motivated accusations or other negative publicity. The actions of third parties, including our suppliers, franchisees, and our licensees in retail initiatives, also presents reputational risk outside of our direct control. Moreover, the rapid and broad dissemination of information through social media and other digital channels can amplify adverse events, sometimes without regard to accuracy or context, making it more difficult to mitigate or remediate negative impressions quickly or effectively.

Added

Any deterioration in our reputation could reduce guest traffic, adversely affect sales, limit our ability to grow new units or enter new markets, pressure margins through increased promotional activity or other remedial measures, increase costs related to quality assurance and compliance, diminish employee engagement and retention, and expose us to greater regulatory, legal, and operational risks. Collectively or individually, these impacts could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Reworded

The development of additional restaurant concepts, including Bubba’s 33 and Jaggers, created internally or acquired as a part of our other strategic initiativesinitiatives, may not be as successful as our experience in the development of the Texas Roadhouse concept. These concepts may have lower brand awareness and less operating experience than most Texas Roadhouse restaurants. In addition, they may have a higher initial investment cost and/or a lower per person average check amount. AsPursuing a result, the development and/or acquisition of additional restaurantnew concepts may notdivert contribute to our average unit volume growthcapital and/or profitability in an incremental way. We can provide no assurance that these units will be accepted in the markets targeted for expansion and/or that we or our franchisees will be able to achieve our targeted returns when opening new locations. In the future, we may determine not to move forward with any further expansion and/or acquisition of additional restaurant concepts. These decisions could limit or delay our overall long-term growth. Additionally, expansion and/or acquisition of additional restaurant concepts might divert our management’smanagement attention from other business concerns or initiatives and could have an adverse impact on our core Texas Roadhouse business.operations.

Added

These concepts may take longer to ramp up, operate at lower margins, or fail to achieve acceptable returns. As a result, developing or acquiring additional concepts may not contribute to average unit volume growth or profitability and could negatively affect our results. We can provide no assurance that these units will be accepted in the markets targeted for expansion and/or that we or our franchisees will be able to achieve our targeted returns when opening new locations. In the future, we may determine not to move forward with any further expansion and/or acquisition of additional restaurant concepts. These decisions could limit or delay our overall long-term growth.

Removed

The entrance into international markets may not be as successful as our experience in the development of our concepts domestically or any success we have had with our concepts in other international markets. In addition, operating in international markets may require significant resources and management attention and will subject us to economic, political, and regulatory risks that are different from and incremental to those in the United States. In addition to the risks that we face in the United States, our international operations involve risks that could adversely affect our business, including:

Removed

Our failure to manage any of these risks successfully could harm our future international operations and our overall business and results of our operations.

Removed

We are also subject to governmental regulations throughout the world impacting the way we do business with our international franchisees. These include antitrust and tax requirements, anti-boycott regulations, import/export/customs, tariffs and other international trade regulations, the USA Patriot Act, and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Failure to comply with any such legal requirements could subject us to monetary liabilities and other sanctions, which could adversely impact our business and financial performance.

Added

Any acquisition or future development that we pursue, including the on-going development of new concepts or retail initiatives utilizing our intellectual property, whether or not successfully completed, may involve risks, including material adverse effects on our operating results, particularly in the fiscal quarters immediately following the acquisition or development as the restaurants are integrated into our operations; risks associated with entering into new domestic markets or conducting operations where we have no or limited prior experience; risks associated with successfully integrating new employees, processes, and systems while also maintaining our culture and brand standards; risks inherent in accurately assessing the value, future growth potential, strengths, weaknesses, contingent and other liabilities and potential profitability of acquisition candidates, and our ability to achieve projected economic and operating synergies, without impacting our underlying business; and the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns.

Removed

Any acquisition or future development that we pursue, including the on-going development of new concepts or retail initiatives utilizing our intellectual property, whether or not successfully completed, may involve risks, including:

Reworded

Additionally, weWe may evaluate other means to leverage our competitive strengths, including the expansion of our products across other strategic initiatives or business opportunities (including retail initiatives utilizing our intellectual property). The expansion of our products may damage our reputation if products bearing our brands are not of the same quality or value that guests associate with our concepts or if our partners are accused of any actual or alleged misconduct. In addition, we may experience dilution of the goodwill associated with our concepts as they become more common and increasingly accessible.

Reworded

As of December 31,30, 2024,2025, we operated a total of 93101 company restaurants in Texas and 4850 company restaurants in Florida. As a result, we are particularly susceptible to adverse trends and economic conditions in those states, including any state mandatedstate-mandated changes in minimum and tipped wage rates and other laws and regulations that have a direct or indirect impact on our operations as well as economic pressures that may result in lower sales and profits at our restaurants. In addition, given our geographic concentration in these states, negative publicity regarding any of our restaurants in either Texas or Florida could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations, as could other occurrences in either Texas or Florida such as health epidemics or pandemics, local strikes, energy shortages or extreme fluctuations in energy prices, droughts, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, fires, or other natural disasters.

Added

The entrance into and operations in international markets may not be as successful as our experience in the development of our concepts domestically or any success we have had with our concepts in other international markets. Operating in international markets may require significant resources and management attention and will subject us to economic, political, and regulatory risks that are different from and incremental to those in the United States. In addition to the risks that we face in the United States, our international operations involve risks that could adversely affect our business, including the need to adapt our concepts for specific cultural, language, and consumer preferences; new and different sources of competition; the ability to identify appropriate business partners; difficulties and costs associated with staffing and managing foreign operations; difficulties in adapting and sourcing product specifications for international restaurant locations; fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could impact royalties, revenue, and expenses of our international operations, and expose us to foreign currency exchange rate risk; and political or social unrest, economic instability, and the destabilization of a region, including the effects of actual or threatened terrorist attacks.

Added

We are also subject to governmental regulations throughout the world which includes complying with local laws, regulations, and customs in foreign jurisdictions; regulatory requirements or tariffs on goods needed to construct and/or operate our restaurants; compliance with U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and similar laws in foreign jurisdictions; differences in the registration and/or enforceability of intellectual property and contract rights; adverse tax consequences, profit repatriation, and other restrictions on the transfer of funds; and different and more stringent user protection, data protection, privacy, and other laws. Our failure to manage any of these risks successfully could harm our existing or future international operations and our overall business and results of our operations.

Added

We are also subject to governmental regulations throughout the world impacting the way we do business with our international franchisees. These include antitrust and tax requirements, anti-boycott regulations, import/export controls and customs requirements, the potential imposition of tariffs and or other trade barriers or restrictions, other international trade regulations, the USA Patriot Act, and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Failure to comply with any such legal requirements could subject us to monetary liabilities and other sanctions, which could adversely impact our business and financial performance.

Reworded

Our ability to fund our operating plans and to implement our capital allocation strategies depends on sufficient cash flow from operations and/or other financing, including the use of funding under our credit facility. We also may seek access to the debt and/or equity capital markets. There can be no assurance, however, that these sources of financing will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. Our capital allocation strategies include, but are not limited to, new restaurant development, payment of dividends, refurbishment or relocation of existing restaurants, franchise acquisitions, payment of dividends, and repurchases of our common stock, and franchise acquisitions.stock. If we experience decreased cash flow from operations, our ability to fund our operations and planned initiatives, and to take advantage of growth opportunities, may be delayed or negatively affected. In addition, these disruptions or a negative effect on our revenue could affect our ability to borrow or comply with our covenants under our credit facility. If we are unable to raise additional capital, our growth could be impeded.

Reworded

The lenders’ obligation to extend credit under our credit facility depends on our maintaining certain financial covenants. If we are unable to maintain these covenants, we would be unable to obtain additional financing under this credit facility. The credit facility permits us to incur additional secured or unsecured indebtedness outside the credit facility, except for the incurrence of secured indebtedness that in the aggregate is equal to or greater than $125.0 million and 20% of our consolidated tangible net worth or circumstances where the incurrence of secured or unsecured indebtedness would prevent us from complying with our financial covenants. If we are unable to borrow additional capital or have sufficientinsufficient liquidity to either repay or refinance the then outstanding balance at the expiration of our credit facility, or upon violation of the covenants, our growth could be impeded and our financial performance could be significantly adversely affected.

Added

We own certain common law trademark rights and a number of federal and international trademark and service mark registrations, including our trade names and logos, and proprietary rights relating to certain of our core menu offerings. We believe that our trademarks and other proprietary rights are important to our success and our competitive position. Therefore, we devote appropriate resources to the protection of our trademarks and proprietary rights. However, the protective actions that we take may not be enough to prevent unauthorized usage or imitation by others, which could harm our image, brand, or competitive position and, if we commence litigation to enforce our rights, cause us to incur significant legal fees.

Added

Our brand value also depends on protection of trade secrets (including recipes, supplier relationships, and operational know-how), copyrights (including app, website, and marketing content), domain names, software, and, where applicable, rights of publicity. Protecting these assets can be difficult, particularly in jurisdictions with limited enforcement. Use of open-source software, third-party content, and artificial intelligence ("AI") in our technology and marketing may impose license obligations or usage restrictions and may increase the risk of third-party IP claims or content moderation obligations. Our inability to register or protect our marks and other proprietary rights in foreign jurisdictions could adversely affect our competitive position in international markets.

Added

We cannot assure you that third parties will not claim that our trademarks, menu offerings, content, or software infringe upon their proprietary rights. Any such claim, whether or not it has merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause delays in introducing new menu items in the future or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. As a result, any such claim could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

In addition, there is no assurance that any governmental plans to stimulate the economy will foster growth in consumer spending or buying habits. As in the past, we could experience reduced guest traffic or we may be unable or unwilling to increase the prices we charge for our products to offset higher costs or fewer transactions, either of which could reduce our sales and profit margins. Also, landlords or other tenants in the shopping centers in which some of our restaurants are located may experience difficulty as a result of macroeconomic trends or cease to operate, which could in turn negatively affect guest traffic at our restaurants. All of these factors could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

Reworded

In addition to having to comply with these licensing requirements, various federal and state labor laws govern our relationship with our employees and affect operating costs. TheseFor example, federal and state wage and hour laws includeand regulations govern such matters as minimum wage and tipped wage requirements, overtime pay,overtime, meal and rest breaks, proper exempt classifications,classification, child labor, pay for all hours worked (including overtime), and proper handling of tips. A significant number of our hourly restaurant personnel receive tips as part of their compensation and are paid at or above a minimum wage after giving effect to applicable tips. Other federal and state labor laws and regulations govern such matters as health benefits, unemployment taxes, workers’ compensation, work authorization and eligibility requirements, working conditions and safety standards, equal employment opportunities, anti-discrimination and harassment requirements,harassment, and workingother conditions.similar legal requirements. A number of factors could adversely affect our operating results, including:

Additionally, we are subject to Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and NASDAQ reporting and disclosure requirements. Inconsistent standards imposed by state and federal governmental authorities can adversely affect our business and increase our cost of compliance and exposure to litigation which could result in significant judgments, including punitive and liquidated damages, and injunctive relief.

Reworded

We are primarily subject to federal, state, and local income and other taxes in the United States. Our effective income tax rate and other taxes in the future could be affected by a number of factors, including changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities,liabilities; changes in tax laws or other legislative changes,changes; and the outcome of income tax audits. Any significant increases in income tax rates, changes in and/or interpretations of income tax laws, or unfavorable resolution of tax matters could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

Reworded

FailureCorporate to properly address environmental, social, and/or governance ("ESG ")responsibility matters could adversely affect our brand, business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Reworded

Entities across all industries are facing increased attention related to environmental, social, and/or governance ("ESG") matters including packaging and waste,waste; animal health and welfare,welfare; human rights,rights; reproductive rights,rights; diversity and inclusion efforts,efforts; climate change,change; greenhouse gases,gases; and land, energy, and water use. In addition, we have faced enhanced pressure to not only provide expanded disclosures around ESG matters and establish goals or targets with respect to ESG matters but also pressure to scale back our programs and/or initiatives relating to the same.

Reworded

Evolving consumer and investor interest and preferences as well as governmental regulation and scrutiny may result in additional disclosure, due diligence, reporting, and specific target-setting with regard to our business and supply chain that could result in additional costs to comply with such demands. However, our ESG-relatedESG related programs and initiatives and disclosures relating to the same may also result in brand and/or reputational risks and demands. Failure to balance these competing demands could result in consumer or investor scrutiny and/or litigation and could have an adverse effect on our business. EstablishingAdditionally, establishing targets or making other public commitments due to these demands, without a full or complete understanding of the cost or operational impact of changes in our supply chain or operating model, could also adversely affect our business and financial condition. In addition, some individuals, shareholder activists, government officials, and regulators have expressed opposing views and actions with respect to ESG matters which includes the proposal or enactment of "Anti-ESG" policies and initiatives. We may face increased scrutiny, reputational risk, and other demands from these parties regarding our ESG initiatives.

Added

In addition, some individuals, shareholder activists, government officials, and regulators have expressed opposing views and actions with respect to ESG matters which includes the proposal or enactment of "Anti-ESG" policies and initiatives. Strong opinions continue to be publicly expressed both for and against diversity and inclusion and ESG initiatives and positions taken by many corporations, including our Company, are tracked, monitored, and subject to heightened scrutiny from consumers, investors, advocacy groups, and public figures, potentially leading to consumer boycotts, negative publicity campaigns, litigation, and reputational harm. Negative reputational incidents or perceptions about the Company could adversely impact our business and results of operations by reducing sales, damaging business relationships, and negatively impacting employee retention and recruiting efforts.

Reworded

Labor is a primary component in the cost of operating our business. We devote significant resources to recruitingattracting, retaining, engaging, recognizing, training, and trainingdeveloping our restaurant managers and hourly employees. Increased labor costs due to competition, unionization, increased minimum and tipped wages, changes in hourly and overtime pay, state unemployment rates, sick pay or other employee benefits costs (including workers’ compensation and health insurance), company staffing initiatives, changes in government immigration enforcement efforts, or otherwise any regulatory changes resulting from any of the foregoing would adversely impact our operating expenses. In addition, failure to adequately monitor and proactively respond to employee dissatisfaction could lead to poor guest satisfaction, higher turnover, litigation, and possible unionization efforts, which could negatively impact our results of operations.

Reworded

Increased competition for qualified employees caused by a shortage in the labor pool exerts upward pressure on wages paid to attract and retain such personnel, resulting in higher labor costs, together with greater recruitment and training expense.and development expenses. We could suffer from significant indirect costs, including restaurant disruptions due to management or hourly labor turnover and potential delays in new restaurant openings. A shortage in the labor pool could also cause our restaurants to be required to operate with reduced staff which could negatively impact our ability to provide adequate service levels to our guests resulting in adverse guest reactions and a possible reduction in guest traffic counts. Additionally, personal or public health concerns might make some existing personnel or potential candidates reluctant to work in enclosed restaurant environments.

Reworded

Our success depends on our ability to attract, motivate,retain, engage, recognize, train, and retaindevelop qualified employees to keep pace with our growth strategy. If we are unable to do so, our results of operations may also be adversely affected.

Risks Related to Technology, PrivacyCybersecurity, and Intellectual PropertyPrivacy

Reworded

We rely heavily on information systems in all aspects of our operations, including point-of-sale systems, digital apps, financial systems, marketing programs, e-commerce, and various other processes and transactions. This reliance has significantly increased in recent years as we have had to depend to a greater extent on systems such as online ordering, contactless payments, and online waitlists as our guests are increasingly using our website and digital applications to place and pay for their orders. Our point-of-sale processing in our restaurants includes collection of cash, credit cards, debit cards, gift cards, and other processes and procedures. Our ability to efficiently and effectively manage our business depends significantly on the reliability, security, and capacity of these systems. As our business needs continue to evolve, these systems will require upgrading and maintenance over time, consequently requiring significant future commitments of resources and capital. As we become increasingly reliant on digital ordering and payment as a sales channel, our business could be negatively impacted if we are unable to successfully implement, execute, or maintain our consumer-facing digital initiatives. Additionally,In theaddition, we rely on third-party cloud, hosting, content delivery, and telecommunications providers, and disruptions, outages, or degradations at these providers could impair our digital ordering and point-of-sale systems. The increased use of remote work has also increased the susceptibility of our infrastructure to disruption.

Reworded

The failure of these systems to operate effectively, maintenance problems, upgrading or transitioning to new platforms, or a material breach in the security of these systems could result in delays or errors to guest service and reduce efficiency in our operations. In addition, as we implement new technology platforms and AI programs to improve productivity and overall guest experience,productivity, there can be no guarantees that these platforms will operate as reliably or be as operationally impactful as intended.intended and such platforms may increase our operational, privacy, cybersecurity, and intellectual property risks, including errors, bias, data leakage, and claims related to training data and generated outputs, and may increase expenses. We may also be dependent on third-party AI models and vendors, whose availability, reliability, performance, or terms of use may change.

Reworded

We have disaster recovery procedures and business continuity plans in place to address physical and technological crises, including tornadoes and other natural disasters, and back-up off-site locations for recovery of electronic and other forms of data information. However, if we are unable to fully implement our disaster recovery and business continuity plans, we may experience delays in recovery of data, inability to perform vital corporate functions, tardiness in required reporting and compliance, failures to adequately support field operations, and other breakdowns in normal communication and operating procedures that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and exposure to administrative and other legal claims. Certain scenarios, such as extended cloud disruptions, domain name system failures, payment processor outages, or a critical vendor’s insolvency, may fall outside the assumption of our plans. Cyberinsurance may be unavailable, insufficient, or subject to significant retentions, sublimits, or exclusions and may not cover all costs or lost profits.

Reworded

Our systems and those of our vendors may be vulnerable to a variety of threats and the rapid evolution and increased adoption of artificial intelligenceAI technologies may intensify our cybersecurity risks. These risks can include unauthorized access, theft, use, destruction, or other compromises of our systems and can occur through a variety of methods, including attacks using malware, ransomware, denial of service attacks, or phishing incidents.

We could be subject to litigation and government enforcement actions as a result of any such failure. Any such event could cause us to incur significant unplanned expenses in excess of our insurance coverage, which could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, our ability to expand and update our information technology infrastructure in response to our growing and changing needs could be inhibited in the event of a cybersecurity incident. This could lead to a delayed implementation of new service offerings, disruptions to guest experiences including via our website and applications, and the diversion of resources that would otherwise be invested in expanding our business and operations.

We continually evaluate our other business processes to determine if additional outsourcing is an appropriate option to accomplish our goals. These third-party vendors may be subject to cybersecurity risks and any interruptions or malfunctions in their operations may cause interruptions of our normal business operations for which we may have limited or no control.

We may incur increased costs to comply with privacyprivacy, data protection, and data protectionAI laws and, if we fail to comply or our systems are compromised by a security breach, we could be subject to government enforcement actions, private litigation, and adverse publicity.

Reworded

New, modified, and existing privacyprivacy, data protection, and data protectionAI laws and regulations at the local, state, federal, and international levels may result in significant costs and compliance challenges and adversely affect our business and financial condition. An expanding patchwork of privacy and AI laws and targeted statutes imposes differing obligations related to notice, consumer rights and appeals, data minimization, sensitive data restrictions, targeted advertising, and certain profiling, and such requirements continue to evolve. These obligations vary materially by jurisdiction and may increase compliance complexity and costs, potentially impede the development and offering of new products or services, and adversely impact the guest experience. These privacy laws and regulations, which are constantly evolving,regulations may be interpreted by regulatory authorities in new and differing manners, including the issuing of rulings that invalidate prior laws or regulations or increase penalties, and such interpretations may be inconsistent among jurisdictions. We may incur increased costs to comply with increasingly demanding privacy laws and regulations and such compliance may impede the development and offering of new products or services and may adversely impact the guest experience. We could also be subject to government enforcement actions, private litigation, and adverse publicity including reputational damage and loss of guest confidence.

We receive and maintain certain personal, financial, or other information about our guests, vendors, and employees. In 2024,2025, approximately 88%89% of our transactions were by credit or debit cards. In addition, certain of our vendors receive and/or maintain certain personal, financial, and other information about our employees and guests on our behalf. The use and handling, including security, of this information is regulated by privacy and data protection laws and regulations in various jurisdictions, as well as by certain third-party contracts, frameworks, and industry standards, such as card network rules and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. Hardware, software, or other applications we develop and procure from third parties or vendor’s third-party applications could be subject to vulnerabilities or cybersecurity incidents or may contain unknown defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise information security. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to gain access to our systems and facilities through fraud, trickery, or other forms of deceiving our employees or vendors.

Removed

We own certain common law trademark rights and a number of federal and international trademark and service mark registrations, including our trade names and logos, and proprietary rights relating to certain of our core menu offerings. We believe that our trademarks and other proprietary rights are important to our success and our competitive position. Therefore, we devote appropriate resources to the protection of our trademarks and proprietary rights. However, the protective actions that we take may not be enough to prevent unauthorized usage or imitation by others, which could harm our image, brand, or competitive position and, if we commence litigation to enforce our rights, cause us to incur significant legal fees. Our inability to register or protect our marks and other proprietary rights in foreign jurisdictions could adversely affect our competitive position in international markets.

Removed

We cannot assure you that third parties will not claim that our trademarks or menu offerings infringe upon their proprietary rights. Any such claim, whether or not it has merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause delays in introducing new menu items in the future or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. As a result, any such claim could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

Removed

Our profitability depends in part on our ability to anticipate and react to changes in food and supply costs and/or the availability of products necessary to operate our business, including increased costs arising from federal and/or state mandated requirements. Any increase in food prices or loss of supply, particularly proteins, could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, we are susceptible to increases in food costs as a result of factors beyond our control, such as food supply constrictions, inflationary cycles, weather conditions, food safety concerns, global pandemics, product recalls, global market and trade conditions, and government regulations including the imposition of tariffs. We cannot predict whether we will be able to anticipate and react to changing food costs and/or loss of supply by adjusting our purchasing practices, menu prices, or menu offerings, and a failure to do so could adversely affect our operating results. Extreme and/or long term increases in commodity prices could adversely affect our future results, especially if we are unable, primarily due to competitive reasons, to increase menu prices. Additionally, if there is a time lag between the increasing commodity prices and our ability to increase menu prices or if we believe the commodity price increase to be short in duration and we choose not to pass on the cost increases, our short-term results could be negatively affected. Also, if we adjust pricing there is no assurance that we will realize the full benefit of any adjustment due to changes in our guests’ menu item selections and guest traffic.

Removed

We currently purchase our beef primarily from four beef suppliers coming from the United States or Canada. While we maintain relationships with additional suppliers, if any of these vendors were unable to fulfill its obligations under its contracts, we could encounter supply shortages and/or incur higher costs to secure adequate supplies, either of which would harm our business.

Reworded

The restaurant industry is intensely competitive. We compete with many well-established food service companies on the basis of taste, quality, and price of products offered, guest service, atmosphere, location, take-out and delivery options, and overall guest experience. Our competitors include a large and diverse group of restaurant chains and individual restaurants that range from independent local operators that have opened restaurants in various markets to well-capitalized national restaurant chains. We also face competition from meal kit delivery services as well as the supermarket industry. In addition, improving product offerings of fast-casual and quick-service restaurants, together with negative economic conditions could cause consumers to choose less expensive alternatives. As our competitors expand their operations, we expect competition to intensify. We also compete with other restaurant chains and other retail establishments for quality site locations and employees. Our competitors may generate or more effectively implement business strategies that improve the value and the relevance of their brands and reputation, relative to ours. This includes our competitors’ ability to adapt and respond to new technological developments, including artificial intelligence,AI, to develop new customer insights that allows them to better respond to changing guest expectations.

Reworded

Health, socialsocial, and environmental concerns relating to the consumption or sourcing of beef or other food products could affect consumer preferences and could negatively impact our results of operations.

Reworded

Food safety and sanitation is a top priority, and we dedicate substantial resources to help our guests enjoy safe, quality food products. However, food-borne illnesses and food safety issues occur in the food industry from time to time. Any report or publicity, whether true or not, linking us to instances of food-borne illness or other food or beverage safety issues, including food tampering or contamination, could adversely affect our concepts and reputation as well as results of operations. In addition, instances of food-borne illness, food tampering, or food contamination occurring solely at restaurants of our competitors could result in negative publicity about the food service industry generally and adversely impact our revenue and profits. Increased public and regulatory scrutiny of substances associated with food and food packages could also lead to supplier disruptions, product reformulations, recalls, litigation, reputational harm, or new regulatory requirements that increase our costs.

Added

Furthermore, because we rely on third-party suppliers and distributors, incidents can arise from factors outside our control and affect multiple locations. Despite our controls, products may be mishandled in transit or otherwise compromised. If guests become ill, we may need to close restaurants temporarily and participate in recalls, each of which could disrupt operations and increase costs.

Added

In addition, outbreaks of contagious diseases, including food-borne or transmissible viruses, may affect the availability and cost of certain ingredients and reduce guest demand, adversely impacting our business.

At our high volume restaurants, we continue to look for opportunities to increase our dining room capacity by adding on to our existing building and/or to increase our parking capacity by leasing or purchasing property that adjoins our site.
