During the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2018
, the Company received cash proceeds, primarily from the sale of surplus properties, of
$1,049
and
$1,421
, respectively, and received cash proceeds of
$2,411
and
$9,403
during the
three and nine months ended
October 1, 2017
, respectively. The

As part of our system optimization initiative, the Company acquired
140
Wendy’s restaurants on May 31, 2017 from DavCo Restaurants, LLC (“DavCo”) for total net cash consideration of
$86,788
, which were immediately sold to NPC International, Inc. (“NPC”), an existing franchisee of the Company, for cash proceeds of
$70,688
(the “DavCo and NPC Transactions”). The acquisition of Wendy’s restaurants from DavCo was not contingent on executing the sale agreement with NPC; as such, the Company accounted for the transactions as an acquisition and subsequent disposition of a business. As part of the transactions, the Company retained leases for purposes of subleasing such properties to NPC.

The fair value of our indirect investment in Arby’s as of December 31, 2017 was based on applying a multiple to Arby’s adjusted earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization per its current unaudited financial information. The carrying value of our indirect investment in Arby’s was reduced to
zero
during 2013 in connection with the receipt of a dividend. On February 5, 2018, a subsidiary of ARG Parent acquired Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc. As a result, our ownership interest included both the Arby’s and Buffalo Wild Wings brands under the newly formed combined company, Inspire Brands. On August 16, 2018, the Company sold its remaining ownership interest to Inspire Brands for
$450,000
. See
Note 7
for further information. The fair values of our remaining investments are not significant and are based on our review of information provided by the investment managers or investees which was based on (1) valuations performed by the investment managers or investees, (2) quoted market or broker/dealer prices for similar investments and (3) quoted market or broker/dealer prices adjusted by the investment managers for legal or contractual restrictions, risk of nonperformance or lack of marketability, depending upon the underlying investments.
|
(b)
|
The fair values were based on quoted market prices in markets that are not considered active markets.
|
(c)
|
Wendy’s has provided loan guarantees to various lenders on behalf of franchisees entering into debt arrangements for equipment financing. We have accrued a liability for the fair value of these guarantees, the calculation of which was based upon a weighted average risk percentage.

During the
nine
months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized a net increase to “Accumulated deficit” of
$70,210
as a result of adoption of amended guidance for revenue recognition. The net increase resulted from an increase to deferred franchise fees of
$85,561
and a decrease to “
Deferred income taxes
” of
$21,996
as a result of now deferring franchise fees over the contractual term of the franchise agreements. Additionally, an increase to “
Advertising funds restricted liabilities
” of
$6,645
was recognized as a result of a reclassification of the total stockholders’ deficit of the Advertising Funds as of December 31, 2017. See
Note 2
for further information.

Same-Restaurant Sales - We report same-restaurant sales commencing after new restaurants have been open for 15 continuous months and as soon as reimaged restaurants reopen. This methodology is consistent with the metric used by our management for internal reporting and analysis. The table summarizing same-restaurant sales below in “Results of Operations” provides the same-restaurant sales percent changes. Same-restaurant sales exclude the impact of currency translation.
|
•
|
Restaurant Margin - We define restaurant margin as sales from Company-operated restaurants less cost of sales divided by sales from Company-operated restaurants. Cost of sales includes food and paper, restaurant labor and occupancy, advertising and other operating costs. Restaurant margin is influenced by factors such as price increases, the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing initiatives, featured products, product mix, fluctuations in food and labor costs, restaurant openings, remodels and closures and the level of our fixed and semi-variable costs.
|
•
|
Systemwide Sales - Systemwide sales is a non-GAAP financial measure, which includes sales by both Company-operated restaurants and franchised restaurants. Franchised restaurant sales are reported by our franchisees and represent their revenues from sales at franchised Wendy’s restaurants. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include sales by franchised restaurants to their customers. The Company believes systemwide sales data is useful in assessing consumer demand for the Company’s products, the overall success of the Wendy’s brand and, ultimately, the performance of the Company. The Company’s royalty revenues are computed as percentages of sales made by Wendy’s franchisees. As a result, sales by Wendy’s franchisees have a direct effect on the Company’s royalty revenues and therefore on the Company’s profitability.
