NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise indicated)
1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
ClubCorp Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries CCA Club Operations Holdings, LLC (“Operations' Parent”) and ClubCorp Club Operations, Inc. (“Operations”, together with Holdings and Operations' Parent, “ClubCorp”) were formed on November 10, 2010, as part of a reorganization (“ClubCorp Formation”) of ClubCorp, Inc. (“CCI”), which was effective as of November 30, 2010, for the purpose of operating and managing golf and country clubs, business, sports and alumni clubs. On September 25, 2013, Holdings completed an initial public offering (our “IPO”). As of September 9, 2014, the majority of Holdings' common stock was owned by Fillmore CCA Investment, LLC (“Fillmore”), which is wholly owned by an affiliate of KSL Capital Partners, LLC (“KSL”), a private equity fund that invests primarily in the hospitality and leisure business. ClubCorp, together with its subsidiaries, may be referred to as “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”.
Subsequent to September 9, 2014, on September 30, 2014, ClubCorp USA, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings, completed the acquisition of all the equity interests in each of Sequoia Golf Holdings, LLC and Parthenon-Sequoia Ltd. (“Sequoia Golf”). The acquisition was executed through an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”) with Sequoia Golf Holdings, LLC, Parthenon-Sequoia Ltd., Parthenon Investors II, L.P., J&R Founders’ Fund II, L.P., PCIP Investors, and certain individuals named therein. The total purchase price was $265.0 million payable in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments, including net working capital. See Notes 9, 11 and 16 for further description of the acquisition and related financing.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation—The consolidated condensed financial statements reflect the consolidated operations of ClubCorp, its subsidiaries and certain variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The consolidated condensed financial statements presented herein reflect our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in equity in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or “GAAP”. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated.
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by Holdings and are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from the accompanying financial statements. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Holdings for the year ended December 31, 2013.
We believe that the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations and other factors such as timing of acquisitions and dispositions of facilities.
We have two reportable segments (1) golf and country clubs and (2) business, sports and alumni clubs. These segments are managed separately and discrete financial information, including Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”), a key financial measurement of segment profit and loss, is reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker to evaluate performance and allocate resources. See Note 12.
Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from such estimated amounts.
Revenue Recognition—Revenues from club operations, food and beverage and merchandise sales are recognized at the time of sale or when the service is provided and are reported net of sales taxes. Revenues from membership dues are generally billed monthly and recognized in the period earned.
At a majority of our private clubs, members are expected to pay an initiation fee or deposit upon their acceptance as a member to the club. In general, initiation fees are not refundable, whereas initiation deposits are not refundable until a fixed number of years (generally 30) after the date of acceptance of a member. We recognize revenue related to membership initiation fees and deposits over the expected life of an active membership. For membership initiation deposits, the difference between the amount paid by the member and the present value of the refund obligation is deferred and recognized within club operations

revenue on the consolidated condensed statements of operations over the expected life of an active membership. The present value of the refund obligation is recorded as a membership initiation deposit liability in the consolidated condensed balance sheets and accretes over the nonrefundable term using the effective interest method with an interest rate defined as our incremental borrowing rate adjusted to reflect a 30-year time frame. The accretion is included in interest expense.
The majority of membership initiation fees sold are not refundable and are deferred and recognized within club operations revenue on the consolidated condensed statements of operations over the expected life of an active membership.
The expected lives of active memberships are calculated annually, using historical attrition rates to determine the expected lives of active memberships. Periods in which attrition rates differ significantly from enrollment rates could have a material effect on our consolidated condensed financial statements by decreasing or increasing the expected lives of active memberships, which in turn would affect the length of time over which we recognize initiation fee and deposit revenues. During fiscal year 2013, our estimated expected lives ranged from one to 20 years; the weighted-average expected life of a golf and country club membership was approximately seven years and the expected life of a business, sports and alumni club membership was approximately three years. During fiscal year 2014, the weighted-average expected life of a golf and country club membership was approximately seven years and the expected life of a business, sports and alumni club membership was approximately three years.
Membership initiation fees and deposits recognized within club operations revenue on the consolidated condensed statements of operations were $3.0 million and $9.1 million for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2014, respectively, and $4.2 million and $12.2 million for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013, respectively.
Foreign Currency—The functional currency of our entities located outside the United States is the local currency. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate in effect at period-end. All foreign income and expenses are translated at the monthly weighted-average exchange rates during the year. Translation gains and losses are reported separately, net of tax of $0.0 million for all periods presented, as a component of comprehensive loss, until realized. No translation gains or losses have been reclassified into earnings for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2014 or September 3, 2013. Realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss in club operating costs.
Income Taxes—We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if we conclude that it is “more likely than not” that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. If the position drops below the “more likely than not” standard, the benefit can no longer be recognized. We use assumptions, estimates and our judgment in determining if the “more likely than not” standard has been met when developing our provision for income taxes. We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.
Equity-Based Awards—We measure the cost of employee services rendered in exchange for equity-based compensation based upon the grant date fair market value of the respective equity-based awards. The value is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The following table shows total equity-based compensation expense included in the consolidated condensed statements of operations:

As of September 9, 2014, there was approximately $3.9 million of unrecognized expense, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested, equity-based awards granted to employees, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.6 years.
The ClubCorp Holdings, Inc. 2012 Stock Award Plan, which was amended and restated as of August 14, 2013 (the “Stock Plan”) provides for an aggregate amount of no more than 4.0 million shares of common stock to be available for awards. The Stock Plan provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance-based awards and other equity-based incentive awards. To date, we have granted restricted stock awards, restricted stock units
6
(“RSUs”), and performance restricted stock units (“PSUs”) under the Stock Plan. As of September 9, 2014, approximately 3.0 million shares of common stock were available for future issuance under the Stock Plan.
On April 1, 2012, Holdings granted RSUs to certain executives under the Stock Plan. The RSUs vest based on satisfaction of both a time condition and a liquidity condition and are converted into shares of our common stock upon vesting. The time condition is satisfied with respect to one-third of the RSUs on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the holder remaining employed by us. The liquidity condition is satisfied upon the earlier of a change of control (as defined in the Stock Plan) or after a period of time following the effective date of an initial public offering by us. On March 15, 2014, the required time period following our IPO was satisfied and the liquidity vesting requirement was met, at which time one third of the RSUs granted were converted into 211,596 shares of our common stock. On April 1, 2014, 211,579 of the RSUs vested and were converted into shares of our common stock. The remaining RSUs will convert into shares of our common stock upon satisfaction of the remaining time vesting requirement. As of September 9, 2014, 190,788 RSUs remain outstanding.
On January 17, 2014, and on February 7, 2014, we granted 103,886 and 111,589 shares of restricted stock, respectively, to certain participants under the Stock Plan. Under the terms of the grants, the restrictions will be removed upon satisfaction of time vesting requirements, subject to the holder remaining employed by us.
On February 7, 2014, we granted 111,610 PSUs to certain participants under the Stock Plan. Under the terms of the grants, the PSUs will convert into shares of our common stock upon satisfaction of (i) time vesting requirements and (ii) the applicable performance based requirements. The number of performance restricted stock units issued under these grants represents the target number of such units that may be earned, based on the Company's total shareholder return over the applicable performance periods compared with a peer group. If more than the target number of performance restricted stock units vest at the end of a performance period because the Company's total shareholder return exceeds certain percentile thresholds of the peer group, additional shares will be issued under the Stock Plan at that time.
Subsequent to September 9, 2014, on September 25, 2014, we granted a total of 14,952 shares of restricted stock to our independent directors, vesting one year from the date of grant. See Note 16.
Prior to our IPO, unit awards were issued under a Management Profits Interest Program (“MPI”) which provided grants of time-vesting non-voting profits interests in Fillmore. In connection with the consummation of our IPO, the MPI participants surrendered all unit awards then held by them in exchange for an aggregate of 2,251,027 shares of Holdings' common stock previously held by Fillmore, 196,267 of which remain subject to time vesting requirements as of September 9, 2014.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 (“ASU 2013-11”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. ASU No. 2013-11 clarifies that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Our adoption of ASU 2013-11 at the beginning of fiscal year 2014 did not materially impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-8 (“ASU 2014-8”), Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU No. 2014-8 amends guidance for reporting discontinued operations and disposals of components of an entity. The amended guidance requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's financial results or a business activity classified as held for sale should be reported as discontinued operations. The amended guidance also expands the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and adds new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. We adopted ASU 2014-8 during the twelve weeks ended September 9, 2014. The amended guidance was adopted prospectively; thus, no changes were made to dispositions that were classified as discontinued operations prior to this adoption. During the normal course of
7
business, we have closed certain clubs that were underperforming and terminated certain management agreements. We believe the future divestiture of an individual club will not qualify as a discontinued operation as it is unlikely to represent a strategic shift or have a major effect on our financial results. Our adoption of ASU 2014-8 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. During the twelve weeks ended September 9, 2014, one management agreement was terminated. This divestiture would have qualified as a discontinued operation prior to our adoption of the amended guidance, but is reported within continuing operations under the amended guidance.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-9 (“ASU 2014-9”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-9 requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer, as well as enhanced disclosure requirements. ASU 2014-9 is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. We are still evaluating the impact that our adoption of ASU 2014-9 will have on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
3. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Consolidated VIEs include three managed golf course properties and certain realty interests which we define as “Non-Core Development Entities”. We have determined we are the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as we have the obligation to absorb the majority of losses from and direct activities of these operations. One of these managed golf course property VIEs is financed through a loan payable of $1.0 million collateralized by assets of the entity totaling $4.3 million as of September 9, 2014. The other managed golf course property VIEs are financed through advances from us. Outstanding advances as of September 9, 2014 total $3.6 million compared to recorded assets of $6.8 million.
The VIE related to the Non-Core Development Entities is financed through notes which are payable through cash proceeds related to the sale of certain real estate held by the Non-Core Development Entities.
The following summarizes the carrying amount and classification of the VIEs' assets and liabilities in the consolidated condensed balance sheets as of September 9, 2014 and December 31, 2013, net of intercompany amounts:
September 9, 2014 | December 31, 2013 | ||||||
Current assets | $ | 1,652 | $ | 1,407 | |||
Fixed assets, net | 9,572 | 9,347 | |||||

Total liabilities and equity | $ | 12,074 | $ | 11,604 |
Recourse of creditors to these VIEs is limited to the assets of the VIE entities, which total $12.1 million and $11.6 million at September 9, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
4. INVESTMENTS
Equity method investments in golf and business club ventures total $1.3 million and $1.4 million at September 9, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and include two golf club joint ventures and one business club joint venture. Our share of earnings in the equity investments is included in equity in earnings from unconsolidated ventures in the consolidated condensed statements of operations.
Additionally, we have one equity method investment of 10.2% in Avendra, LLC, a purchasing cooperative of hospitality companies, for which we exercise significant influence. The carrying value of the investment was $4.6 million and $6.2 million at September 9, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Our share of earnings in the equity investment is
8
included in equity in earnings from unconsolidated ventures in the consolidated condensed statements of operations. We have contractual agreements with the joint venture to provide procurement services for our clubs for which we received net volume rebates and allowances totaling $0.3 million and $2.3 million during the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2014, respectively, and $0.0 million and $2.1 million during the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013, respectively. The difference between the carrying value of the investment and our share of the equity reflected in the joint venture's financial statements at the time of the acquisition of CCI by affiliates of KSL was allocated to intangible assets of the joint venture and is being amortized over approximately 10 years beginning in 2007. The carrying value of these intangible assets was $4.6 million and $6.0 million at September 9, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Our equity in net income from the investment described in the preceding paragraph is shown below:

Additionally, we recognized $1.3 million of return on our equity investment within interest and investment income during the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2014. All cash distributions from our equity investment are reported as distribution from investment in unconsolidated ventures within the operating section of consolidated condensed statements of cash flows.
5. FAIR VALUE
GAAP establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations. The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets accessible by the Company;
Level 2—inputs that are observable in the marketplace other than those inputs classified as Level 1; and
Level 3—inputs that are unobservable in the marketplace and significant to the valuation.
We maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. If a financial instrument uses inputs that fall in different levels of the hierarchy, the instrument is categorized based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value calculation. We recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy on the date of the change in circumstances that caused the transfer.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Debt—We estimate the fair value of our debt obligations, excluding capital lease obligations, as follows, as of September 9, 2014 and December 31, 2013:
September 9, 2014 | December 31, 2013 | ||||||||||||||
Recorded Value | Fair Value | Recorded Value | Fair Value | ||||||||||||
Level 2 (1) | $ | 649,458 | $ | 644,595 | $ | 570,856 | $ | 601,775 | |||||||
Level 3 | 51,821 | 42,075 | 53,132 | 43,971 | |||||||||||
Total | $ | 701,279 | $ | 686,670 | $ | 623,988 | $ | 645,746 |
______________________
(1) | The recorded value for Level 2 Debt is presented net of the $1.6 million and $0.0 million discount as of September 9, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, on the Secured Credit Facilities, as defined in Note 9. |
All debt obligations are considered Level 3 except for the Secured Credit Facilities, as defined in Note 9, which are considered Level 2. We use quoted prices for identical or similar liabilities to value debt obligations classified as Level 2. We use adjusted quoted prices for similar liabilities to value debt obligations classified as Level 3. Key inputs include: 1) the
9
determination that certain other debt obligations are similar, 2) nonperformance risk, and 3) interest rates. Changes or fluctuations in these assumptions and valuations will result in different estimates of value. The use of different techniques to determine the fair value of these debt obligations could result in different estimates of fair value at the reporting date.
Derivative Financial Instruments—Derivative financial instruments, which consist of interest rate cap agreements, are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The impact of these interest rate caps is not material to our consolidated condensed financial statements.
The carrying value of other financial instruments including cash, cash equivalents, receivables, notes receivable, accounts payable and other short-term and long-term assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as of September 9, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis
Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include equity method investments, property and equipment, goodwill, trade names, liquor licenses, and business combinations. Assets and liabilities from business combinations were recorded on our consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value at the date of acquisition. The key assumptions used in determining these values are considered Level 3 measurements. See Note 11.
Property and Equipment—We recognized impairment losses to property and equipment of $0.9 million during the thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2014, of which none was recognized during the twelve weeks ended September 9, 2014, to adjust the carrying amount of certain property and equipment to its fair value of $0.2 million due to continued and projected negative operating results as well as changes in the expected holding period of certain fixed assets. We recognized impairment losses to property and equipment of $1.9 million during the thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013, of which none was recognized during the twelve weeks ended September 3, 2013, to adjust the carrying amount of certain property and equipment to its fair value of $0.3 million. The valuation method used to determine fair value was based on an analysis of discounted future cash flows using a risk-adjusted discount rate (‘‘Income Approach’’), and based on cost adjusted for economic obsolescence (‘‘Cost Approach’’). The fair value calculations associated with these valuations are classified as Level 3 measurements. See Note 6.
6. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment, including capital lease assets, at cost consists of the following at September 9, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

We evaluate property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through future cash flows. We recognized impairment losses to property and equipment of $0.9 million during the thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2014, of which none was recognized during the twelve weeks ended September 9, 2014, to adjust the carrying amount of certain property and equipment to its fair value of $0.2 million due to continued and projected negative operating results as well as changes in the expected holding period of certain fixed assets. See Note 5.

9. DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASES
Secured Credit Facilities
Secured Credit Facilities—In 2010, Operations entered into the secured credit facilities (the “Secured Credit Facilities”). The Secured Credit Facilities were subsequently amended in 2012, 2013 and 2014. As amended through and as of September 9, 2014, the Secured Credit Facilities were comprised of (i) a $651.1 million term loan facility, and (ii) a revolving credit facility with $111.3 million available for borrowing, after deducting $23.7 million of standby letters of credit outstanding. In addition, as of September 9, 2014 the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities included an accordion feature which provided, subject to lender participation, for increases in the combined revolving and term loan capacity of the Secured Credit Facilities by incremental amounts of (a) $50.0 million, and, after full utilization of such $50.0 million, (b) an additional amount of incremental term or revolving commitments, so long as the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (the “Senior Secured Leverage Ratio”) did not exceed 3.75:1.00.
As of September 9, 2014, the interest rate on the term loan facility was the higher of (i) 4.0% or (ii) an elected LIBOR plus a margin of 3.0% and the maturity date of the term loan facility is July 24, 2020.
12
As of September 9, 2014, the revolving credit facility had capacity of $135.0 million, which was reduced by $23.7 million of standby letters of credit outstanding, leaving $111.3 million available for borrowing. All remaining revolving credit commitments are related to a tranche which matures on September 30, 2018 and bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 3.0% per annum. Operations is required to pay a commitment fee on all undrawn amounts under the revolving credit facility and a fee on all outstanding letters of credit, payable quarterly in arrears.
The credit agreement, as amended through September 9, 2014, contains a senior secured leverage ratio covenant. The Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, defined in the credit agreement as Consolidated Senior Secured Debt (exclusive of the Senior Notes) to Consolidated EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA), requires Operations and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a leverage ratio of no greater than 5.00:1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter. As of September 9, 2014, Operations' leverage ratio was 3.66:1.00.
The amendments to the Secured Credit Facilities made during 2012, 2013 and 2014 included, among other things, the following key modifications:
On November 16, 2012, Operations entered into the first amendment to the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities, which reduced the interest rate on the term loan facility to the higher of (i) 5.0% or (ii) an elected LIBOR plus a margin of 3.75%.
On July 24, 2013, Operations entered into a second amendment to the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities to reduce the interest rate on the term loan facility, increase the principal borrowed under the term loan facility, extend the maturity date of the term loan facility, eliminate the quarterly principal payment requirement under the term loan facility, increase the amount of permissible incremental facilities and modify certain financial covenants and non-financial terms and conditions associated with the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities. The interest rate on the term loan facility was reduced to the higher of (i) 4.25% or (ii) an elected LIBOR plus a margin of 3.25%, with an additional reduction to the higher of (i) 4.0% or (ii) an elected LIBOR plus a margin of 3.0%, upon successful completion of an initial public offering with proceeds of at least $50.0 million, which condition was satisfied on September 25, 2013, by the receipt by Operations, by way of contribution, of the net proceeds from the completion of our IPO. The term loan facility principal balance was increased to $301.1 million and the maturity date of the term loan facility was extended to July 24, 2020.
On August 30, 2013, Operations entered into a third amendment to the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities, effective on September 30, 2013, to conditionally secure the $135.0 million incremental revolving credit commitments, which mature on September 30, 2018. Borrowings under such facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 3.0% per annum.
On February 21, 2014, Operations entered into a fourth amendment to the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities which made certain administrative changes to such credit agreement.
On April 11, 2014, Operations entered into a fifth amendment to the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities to (i) provide an aggregate of $350.0 million, before a discount of $1.8 million, of additional senior secured term loans under the existing term loan facility, (ii) ease the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio as it relates to (a) payments of excess cash flow and (b) the financial covenant relating to the revolving credit commitments under the credit agreement, (iii) modify the accordion feature under the credit agreement to be calculated as (x) $50.0 million, plus (y) after the full utilization of the amount available under clause (x), an additional amount of incremental term or revolving commitments, so long as the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio does not exceed 3.75:1.00 and (iv) make other administrative changes to the credit agreement. The Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, as amended, requires Operations and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of no greater than 5.00:1.00. Under the fifth amendment, the additional borrowings under the term loan facility bore interest at the same rate as the existing term loans, which is the higher of (i) 4.0% or (ii) an elected LIBOR plus a margin of 3.0%. The incremental term loan continues to mature on July 24, 2020.
Subsequent to September 9, 2014, on September 30, 2014, Operations entered into a sixth amendment to the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities to (i) provide an aggregate of $250.0 million, before a debt issuance discount of $1.9 million, of incremental senior secured term loans under the existing term loan facility, (ii) modify the interest rate on the term loan facility to the higher of (a) 4.5% or (b) an elected LIBOR plus a margin of 3.5%, (iii) modify the accordion feature under the credit agreement to provide for, subject to lender participation, additional borrowings in revolving or term loan commitments, so long as the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio does not exceed 3.75:1.00 and (iv) make other administrative changes to the credit agreement. The term loan continues to mature on July 24, 2020. See Note 16.
13
As of October 9, 2014, the Secured Credit Facilities are comprised of (i) a $901.1 million term loan facility and (ii) a revolving credit facility with $111.3 million available for borrowing, after deducting $23.7 million of standby letters of credit outstanding.
Operations incurred debt issuance costs in conjunction with the issuance of the Secured Credit Facilities of $6.8 million. These have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the loan. Operations incurred additional debt issuance costs of $0.8 million in conjunction with the amendment entered into on November 16, 2012, $4.4 million in conjunction with the second amendment entered into on July 24, 2013 and $3.4 million in conjunction with the third amendment entered into on August 30, 2013. These have also been capitalized and are being amortized over the remaining term of the loan. In conjunction with the fifth amendment entered into on April 11, 2014, Operations incurred $4.5 million in debt issuance costs; $2.7 million of these costs have been capitalized and are being amortized over the remaining term of the loan, while $1.8 million was expensed in the thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2014.
Senior Notes
On November 30, 2010, Operations issued $415.0 million in senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Notes”) with registration rights, bearing interest at 10.0% and maturing December 1, 2018. On October 28, 2013, Operations repaid $145.3 million in aggregate principal of Senior Notes at a redemption price of 110.00%, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The redemption premium of $14.5 million and proportional write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.3 million was accounted for as a loss on extinguishment of debt during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
On April 11, 2014, Operations provided notice to the trustee for the Senior Notes that Operations had elected to redeem all of the remaining outstanding Senior Notes at a redemption price of 110.18%, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on May 11, 2014. Operations irrevocably deposited with the trustee $309.2 million, which is the amount sufficient to fund the redemption and to satisfy and discharge Operations' obligations under the Senior Notes. The redemption premium of $27.5 million and the write-off of remaining unamortized debt issuance costs of $4.0 million was accounted for as loss on extinguishment of debt during the thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2014.
Mortgage Loans
General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”)—In July 2008, we entered into a secured mortgage loan with GECC for $32.0 million with an original maturity of July 2011. During the fiscal year ended December 27, 2011, we extended the term of the loan to July 2012. Effective August 1, 2012, we amended the loan agreement with GECC which extended the maturity to November 2015 with two additional twelve month options to extend through November 2017 upon satisfaction of certain conditions of the loan agreement. As of September 9, 2014, we expect to meet the required conditions and currently intend to extend the loan with GECC to November 2017.
BancFirst—In May 2013, in connection with the acquisition of Oak Tree Country Club, we assumed a mortgage loan with BancFirst for $5.0 million with an original maturity of October 2014 and two twelve month options to extend the maturity through October 2016 upon satisfaction of certain conditions in the loan agreement. Effective October 1, 2014, we have extended the term of the loan to October 1, 2015. We expect to meet the required conditions and currently intend to extend the loan with BancFirst to October 2016.

(1) | As described above, subsequent to September 9, 2014, on September 30, 2014, Operations entered into a sixth amendment to the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities to provide an aggregate of $250.0 million of additional senior secured term loans under the existing term loan facility. This amount is not included in the table above. The proceeds were used to fund the Sequoia Golf acquisition. As of October 9, 2014, the term loan facility principal balance was $901.1 million. |
10. INCOME TAXES
Holdings files a consolidated federal income tax return. Income taxes recorded are adjusted to the extent losses or other deductions cannot be utilized in the consolidated federal income tax return. We file state tax returns on a separate company basis or unitary basis as required by law. Additionally, certain subsidiaries of Holdings, owned through lower tier joint ventures, file separate tax returns for federal and state purposes.
Our tax expense or benefit recognized in our interim financial statements is determined by multiplying the year-to-date income or loss by the annual effective tax rate, which is an estimate of the expected relationship between tax expense or benefit for the full year to the pre-tax income or loss for the full year (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items). Our effective income tax rate for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2014 was 63.9% and 14.4%, respectively, compared to (306.0)% and (15.9)%, for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013, respectively. For the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2014 and September 3, 2013, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory federal tax rate of 35.0% primarily due to state taxes, changes in uncertain tax positions and certain other permanent differences. The relative impact these items have on the effective tax rate varies based on the forecasted amount of pre-tax income or loss for the year.
We are subject to taxation in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as various state and foreign jurisdictions. Our annualized effective income tax rate is determined by the level and composition of pre-tax income and the mix of income subject to varying foreign, state and local taxes.
As of September 9, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have recorded $59.0 million and $56.1 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, which are included in other liabilities in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The majority of unrecognized tax benefits relates to cancellation of indebtedness income stemming from the 2010 ClubCorp Formation and related debt restructuring transactions. The calculation of the cancellation of indebtedness income recognized in connection with the ClubCorp Formation was complex and involved significant judgments and interpretations on our part, including the valuation of assets held at such time.
We are currently undergoing an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) audit of certain components of the tax return for the year ended December 28, 2010, which includes the debt restructuring transactions and related cancellation of indebtedness income amounts recognized in connection with the ClubCorp Formation. The IRS has completed its examination. Subsequent to September 9, 2014, on October 13, 2014, we executed and returned for counter-signature a closing agreement which would close out the audit. Should the closing agreement be finalized in the fourth quarter, we estimate that our total unrecognized tax benefits will be reduced by approximately $48.6 million, of which $11.7 million represents settlements and $36.9 million represents further reductions of prior period unrecognized tax benefits. In addition, we estimate that approximately $13.8 million of accrued interest and penalties will be reversed upon receipt of the counter-signed closing agreement. In total, we estimate that approximately $44.4 million of the above benefits will be recorded in the income statement, including interest and penalties.
In addition, certain of our foreign subsidiaries are under audit in Mexico for the 2008 and 2009 tax years and have received notification of assessments by the Mexican taxing authorities. We have taken the appropriate procedural steps to vigorously contest these assessments through the appropriate Mexican administrative and judicial channels and one of the assessments has been remanded to the original examination team. We have filed litigation on another assessment issued for the 2008 tax year in the amount of $3.0 million, plus penalties and interest. Further, an additional Mexican subsidiary under audit received a notice of assessment for the 2009 tax year in the amount of $6.0 million, plus penalties and interest. We have responded to, and will vigorously challenge, this assessment through the appropriate Mexican administrative and/or judicial channels. As of September 9, 2014, we have not recorded a liability related to these uncertain tax positions as we believe it is more likely than not that we will prevail based on the merits of our positions. We will continue to evaluate the relevant tax issues related to these assessments in future periods.
We believe we are adequately reserved for our uncertain tax positions as of September 9, 2014.

Subsequent to September 9, 2014, on September 30, 2014, we acquired Sequoia Golf for total cash consideration of $265.0 million, subject to customary closing adjustments, including net working capital. Due to the timing of this acquisition, the purchase price allocation was not yet available for disclosure as of the date these financial statements were available to be issued. See Note 16.

12. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We currently have two reportable segments: (1) golf and country clubs and (2) business, sports and alumni clubs. These segments are managed separately and discrete financial information, including Adjusted EBITDA, our financial measure of segment profit and loss, is reviewed regularly by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate performance and allocate resources. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer. We also use Adjusted EBITDA, on a consolidated basis, to assess our ability to service our debt, incur additional debt and meet our capital expenditure requirements. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, on a consolidated basis, is appropriate as it provides additional information to investors about our compliance with certain financial covenants and investors and lenders have historically used EBITDA-related measures.
We began managing the business using Adjusted EBITDA, which is the earnings measure historically disclosed on a consolidated basis, as our measure of segment profit and loss at the beginning of fiscal year 2014. Prior to this change, we utilized Segment EBITDA (“Segment EBITDA”) as our measure of segment profit and loss, but we also presented Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis, as certain financial covenants in the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities utilize this measure of Adjusted EBITDA. These two measurements have not produced materially different results. This change results in alignment of our internal measure of segment profit and loss with the measure used to evaluate our performance on a consolidated basis and the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement, and it reduces the number of non-GAAP measurements we report, thus simplifying our financial reporting. The manner in which we calculate Adjusted EBITDA has not changed. For comparability purposes, amounts for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 3, 2013 have been recast.
EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, income taxes, interest and investment income, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA plus or minus impairments, gain or loss on disposition and acquisition of assets, losses from discontinued operations, loss on extinguishment of debt, non-cash and other adjustments, equity-based compensation expense and an acquisition adjustment. The acquisition adjustment to revenues and Adjusted EBITDA within each segment represents estimated deferred revenue using current membership life estimates related to initiation payments that would have been recognized in the applicable period but for the application of purchase accounting in connection with the acquisition of CCI in 2006 by affiliates of KSL. Adjusted EBITDA is based on the definition of Consolidated EBITDA as defined in the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities contains certain financial covenants which require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios in reference to Adjusted EBITDA.
Golf and country club operations consist of private country clubs, golf clubs and public golf facilities. Private country clubs provide at least one 18-hole golf course and various other recreational amenities that are open to members and their guests. Golf clubs provide both private and public golf play and usually offer fewer other recreational amenities. Public golf facilities are open to the public and generally provide the same services as golf clubs.
Business, sports and alumni club operations consist of business clubs, business/sports clubs, sports clubs and alumni clubs. Business clubs provide a setting for dining, business or social entertainment. Sports clubs provide a variety of recreational facilities and business/sports clubs provide a combination of the amenities available at business clubs and sports clubs. Alumni clubs provide the same amenities as business clubs while targeting alumni and staff of universities.
We also disclose other (“Other”), which consists of other business activities including ancillary revenues related to alliance arrangements, a portion of the revenue associated with upgrade offerings, reimbursements for certain costs of operations at managed clubs, corporate overhead expenses and shared services. Other also includes corporate assets such as cash, goodwill, intangible assets, and loan origination fees.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, operating income or net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our operating results or net cash provided by operating activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our cash flows or ability to fund our cash needs. Our measurement of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We routinely enter into contractual obligations to procure assets used in the day to day operations of our business. As of September 9, 2014, we had capital commitments of $8.2 million at certain of our clubs.
21
We currently have sales and use tax audits in progress. We believe the potential for a liability related to the outcome of these audits may exist. However, we believe that the outcome of these audits would not materially affect our consolidated condensed financial statements.
We are currently undergoing an IRS audit of certain components of the tax return for the year ended December 28, 2010, which includes the debt restructuring transactions and related cancellation of indebtedness income amounts recognized in connection with the ClubCorp Formation. The IRS has completed its examination. Subsequent to September 9, 2014, on October 13, 2014, and we executed and returned for counter-signature a closing agreement which would close out the audit. Should the closing agreement be finalized in the fourth quarter, we estimate that our total unrecognized tax benefits will be reduced by approximately $48.6 million, of which $11.7 million represents settlements and $36.9 million represents further reductions of prior period unrecognized tax benefits. In addition, we estimate that approximately $13.8 million of accrued interest and penalties will be reversed upon receipt of the counter-signed closing agreement. In total, we estimate that approximately $44.4 million of the above benefits will be recorded in the income statement, including interest and penalties. See Note 10.
We also have tax audits of certain foreign subsidiaries in progress for which we have received notification of assessments. The Company has taken the appropriate procedural steps to vigorously contest these assessments through the appropriate Mexican administrative and/or judicial channels. It is likely that within the next 12 months our unrecognized tax benefits will be impacted by the resolution of some or all of the matters currently under audit by the Mexican taxing authorities. Should the estimates and judgments used prove to be inaccurate, our financial results could be materially affected. See Note 10.
We are currently undergoing audits related to unclaimed property. We believe the potential for a liability related to the outcome of these audits is probable and we have estimated and recorded an immaterial amount within accrued expenses on the consolidated condensed balance sheet as of September 9, 2014.
Each of our properties is subject to real and personal property taxes. If local taxing authorities reassess the taxable value of certain properties in accordance with local and state regulations, we may be subject to additional property tax assessments, penalties and interest. At September 9, 2014, we have an immaterial amount recorded in accrued taxes on the consolidated condensed balance sheet related to certain of these properties. While the outcome of such reassessments cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that any potential liability from these matters would not materially affect our consolidated condensed financial statements.
We are subject to certain pending or threatened litigation and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of such legal proceedings and other claims cannot be predicted with certainty, after review and consultation with legal counsel, we believe that any potential liability from these matters would not materially affect our consolidated condensed financial statements.
14. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Holdings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the dilutive effect of equity-based awards that may share in the earnings of Holdings when such shares are either issued or vesting restrictions lapse.
Presented below is basic and diluted EPS for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2014 and September 3, 2013 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

For the thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2014, there are 0.4 million potential common shares excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the effect of their inclusion would reduce our net loss from continuing operations attributable to ClubCorp per share and would be anti-dilutive. As of September 9, 2014, our outstanding restricted stock shares include rights to receive dividends that are subject to the risk of forfeiture if service requirements are not satisfied, thus these shares are not considered participating securities and are excluded from the basic weighted-average shares outstanding calculation.
