Bloomin' Brands, Inc. Segments Disclosure
Segment Reporting
_________________
The Company considers each of its U.S. restaurant concepts and its international franchise business as operating segments, which reflects how the Company manages its business, reviews operating performance and allocates resources. All other operating segments, which include the Company’s operations in Hong Kong and the equity method investment in Brazil, do not meet the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable operating segments.
Resources are allocated and performance is assessed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, whom the Company has determined to be its CODM. The Company aggregates its U.S. operating segments into a U.S. reportable segment. The U.S. segment includes all restaurants operating in the U.S. while franchised restaurants operating outside the U.S. are included in the international franchise segment.
The following is a summary of reportable segments:
| REPORTABLE SEGMENT | CONCEPT | GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION | ||||||||||||

Segment accounting policies are the same as those described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Revenues for all segments include transactions with customers and royalties from franchisees. There were no material transactions among reportable segments. Excluded from Income from operations for U.S. are certain legal and corporate costs not directly related to the performance of the segment, most stock-based compensation expenses, a portion of insurance expenses and certain bonus expenses.
Operating income is utilized by the Company’s CODM as the primary segment profit or loss measure to allocate resources in the planning and forecasting process and also to review operating performance by monitoring actual results versus prior year and forecasts.

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
