BurgerFi International Inc., and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

On July 28, 2022, our Board of Directors approved the change to a 52-53-week fiscal year ending on the Monday nearest to December 31 of each year in order to improve the alignment of financial and business processes following the acquisition of Anthony’s. Our first fiscal quarter of 2023 ended on April 3, 2023. Our current fiscal year will end on January 1, 2024. As of March 31, 2022, the BurgerFi brand operated on a calendar year-end and the Anthony’s brand operated on a 52-53-week fiscal year. Differences arising from the different fiscal period-ends were not deemed material for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements present the consolidated financial position, results from operations and cash flows of BurgerFi International, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material balances and transactions between the entities have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year presentation to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingencies at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

Employer Retention Tax Credits

As of April 3, 2023 and January 2, 2023, the Company had $1.5 million of receivables related to the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Relief Act of 2020 included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Prepaid expenses

The Company routinely issues prepayments to landlords, insurers and vendors in the ordinary course of business. As of April 3, 2023 and January 2, 2023, the Company had $1.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively of prepayments included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Assets Held for Sale

The Company has classified assets held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets $1.5 million as of April 3, 2023 and $0.7 million as of January 2, 2023 of certain store property and equipment, and intangible assets that the Company expects to be sold within one year. Assets held for sale are reviewed each reporting period to ensure that the fair value less cost to sell exceeds the carrying value.

In February 2020, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with an unrelated third party for the sale of substantially all of the assets used in connection with the operation of BF Dania Beach, LLC. The closing of this transaction has been delayed due to additional negotiation that has been on-going. In the event the transaction is terminated, the Company will begin operating this BurgerFi restaurant, and return the deposit of $0.9 million included in other current assets to the unrelated third-party purchaser. Assets used in the operations of BF Dania Beach, LLC totaling $0.7 million have been classified as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of April 3, 2023 and January 2,

6 Net Loss Per Share

Net Loss per common share is computed by dividing Net Loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company has considered the effect of (1) warrants outstanding to purchase 15,063,800 shares of common stock and (2) 75,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock in the unit purchase option, (3) 1,602,472 shares of restricted stock unit grants in the calculation of income per share, and (4) the impact of any dividends associated with our redeemable preferred stock. As the effect of these on the computation of net loss per common share would have been anti-dilutive, they were excluded from the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is calculated as follows:


(in thousands, except for per share data)	Quarter Ended
Numerator:	April 3, 2023		March 31, 2022
Net loss attributable to common stockholders	$	(9,151)	$	(13,560)



Denominator:




Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	23,568,032		21,962,165

Basic net loss per common share	$	(0.39)	$	(0.62)
Diluted net loss per common share	$	(0.39)	$	(0.62)

For the quarter ended April 3, 2023 and March 31, 2022, there were no dilutive warrants.

7. Related Party Transactions

The Company is affiliated with various entities through common control and ownership.

On January 23, 2023, the Company settled a claim filed by a significant stockholder. The settlement resulted in the transfer of five BurgerFi entities from the stockholder to the Company of which two were operating stores and three were entities that historically had operated stores but have since closed. The fair value of consideration paid in the settlement was $0.9 million and included $0.5 million in cash and the issuance of 200,000 shares in common stock valued at $0.4 million. The fair value of net liabilities assumed in the transaction was $0.1 million which included lease liabilities and operating assets and liabilities including property and equipment of two operating stores, net of pre-existing liabilities accrued.

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of January 2, 2023 reflect amounts related to periodic advances between the Company and these entities for working capital and other needs as due from related companies or due to related companies, as appropriate. There were no amounts due from related companies as of April 3, 2023 as a result of the settlement with the significant stockholder.

BurgerFi International, Inc. et al (in the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida, Case No. 023-cv-60657). On April 6, 2023, John Walker, on behalf of himself and other similarly situated plaintiffs, filed a class action lawsuit against the Company and certain current and former executives alleging that the Company violated certain securities laws by making false and misleading statements or failed to disclose that (1) the Company had overstated the effectiveness of its acquisition and growth strategies, and (2) the

Company had misrepresented the purported benefits of the Anthony’s acquisition and the post-acquisition business and financial prospects of the Company. We believe that all claims are meritless and plan to vigorously defend these allegations. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss or range of loss, if any, which may result from the case described above, and, therefore, no contingent liability has been recorded as of January 2, 2023 or April 3, 2023; any losses, however, may be material to the Company's financial position and results of operations.

John Rosatti, as Trustee of the John Rosatti Revocable Trust U/A/D 08/27/2001 (the "JR Trust") v. BurgerFi International, Inc. (In the Circuit Court for the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, Florida, File No. 146578749). On March 28, 2022, the JR Trust filed a suit against BurgerFi alleging that the JR Trust suffered losses in excess of $10 million relating to BurgerFi’s alleged failure to timely file a registration rights agreement. The parties entered into a settlement agreement on January 11, 2023, whereby (i) the Company agreed to pay Mr. Rosatti $0.5 million in cash and issue him 200,000 shares of BFI common stock and, (ii) Mr. Rosatti agreed to transfer the assets and liabilities of the five former JR Trust stores to the Company. This settlement agreement, which the Company values on a net basis to be approximately $0.9 million of value transferred to Mr. Rosatti, resolved all remaining disputes between the parties, and Mr. Rosatti withdrew the related lawsuits against the Company.

Second 82nd SM, LLC v. BF NY 82, LLC, BurgerFi International, LLC and BurgerFi International, Inc. (in the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York, having index No. 654907/2021 filed August 11, 2021). A lawsuit was filed by Second 82nd SM, LLC (“Landlord”) against BF NY 82, LLC (“Tenant”) whereby Landlord brought a seven-count lawsuit for, among other things, breach of the lease agreement and underlying guaranty of the lease. The amount of damages Landlord is seeking approximately $1.5 million, which constitutes back rent, late charges, real estate taxes, illuminated sign charges and water/sewer charges. On November 3, 2021, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint. On November 17, 2021, the Tenant filed an Answer to Landlord’s Complaint and a cross claim against the Company, which the Company answered on December 7, 2021. On December 22, 2021, the Company filed its Response in Opposition to Landlord’s Motion for Summary Judgment and Memo in further Support of its Motion to Dismiss. The Company turned over possession of the property to the landlord, and the parties continue to discuss possible settlement, including payment of certain rent amounts to the Landlord. As of April 3, 2023, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter, however, losses may be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Lion Point Capital, L.P.(“Lion Point”) v. BurgerFi International, Inc. (Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York, Index No. 653099/2022, filed August 26, 2022. A lawsuit filed by Lion Point against the Company, alleging that the Company failed to timely register Lion Point’s shares in violation of the registration rights agreement to which Lion Point is a party, which allegedly resulted in losses in excess of $26 million. In November 2022, as amended in February 2023, the Company filed its answer to the complaint and continues to believe that all claims are meritless and plans to vigorously defend these allegations. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss or range of loss, if any, which may result from the case described above, and, therefore, no contingent liability has been recorded as of January 2, 2023 or April 3, 2023; any losses, however, may be material to the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Burger Guys of Dania Pointe, et. al. v. BFI, LLC (Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, Case No. 50-2021-CA -006501-XXXX-MB filed May 21, 2021). In response to a demand letter issued by BurgerFi to Gino Gargiulo, a former franchisee, demanding that Mr. Gargiulo pay the balance owed under an asset purchase agreement wherein BurgerFi sold the Dania Beach, Florida BurgerFi location to Mr. Gargiulo, Mr. Gargiulo filed suit against BurgerFi claiming, in addition to other matters, that no further monies are owed under the asset purchase agreement and alleges that the Company is responsible for one of Mr. Gargiulo’s failed franchises in Sunny Isles, Florida, losses he has allegedly sustained at his Dania Beach location, and reimbursement of expenses in connection with his marketing company. Mr. Gargiulo seeks damages in excess of $2 million in the aggregate. The parties attended mediation on January 20, 2022, which ended in an impasse. Mr. Gargiulo amended his complaint in April 2022, which, among other matters, amended the defendant parties. In October 2022, the Company filed an additional motion to dismiss the amended complaint and a motion to stay discovery. In January 2023, Mr. Gargiulo filed a third amended complaint. In March 2023, the Company filed an answer to Mr. Gargiulo’s complaint and a counterclaim against Mr. Gargiulo relating to the breach of the asset purchase agreement discussed above. The matter is scheduled for trial in the second half of 2023. We believe that all Mr. Gargiulo claims are meritless, and the Company plans to vigorously defend these allegations. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss or range of loss, if any, which may result from the case described above, and,

therefore, no contingent liability has been recorded as of January 2, 2023 or April 3, 2023; any losses, however, may be material to the Company's financial position and results of operations.

All Round Food Bakery Products, Inc. v. BurgerFi International, LLC and Neri’s Bakery Products, Inc. et al (Supreme Court Westchester County, New York (Index Number 52170-2020)). In a suit filed in February 2020, the plaintiff, All Round Food Bakery Products, Inc. (“All Round Food”) alleges breach of contract and lost profits in excess of $1 million over the course of the supply agreement with the Company and Neri’s Bakery Products, Inc. (“Neri’s” and together with the Company, the “Defendants”). The Defendants assert, among other matters, that the supply agreement amongst the parties, whereby All Round Food was warehousing BurgerFi products produced by Neri’s, was terminated when All Round Food failed to cure its material breach of the supply agreement after due notice. The parties attended additional court ordered mediation in March 2023 to attempt to resolve the dispute, however, no resolution was reached. We believe that all claims are meritless, and the Company plans to vigorously defend these allegations. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss or range of loss, if any, which may result from the case described above, and, therefore, no contingent liability has been recorded as of January 2, 2023 or April 3, 2023; any losses, however, may be material to the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Employment Related Claims.

In July 2021, the Company received a demand letter from the attorney of one of its now former hourly restaurant employees. The letter alleges that the former employee was sexually harassed by one of her co-workers. The demand letter claims that the Company discriminated and retaliated against the former employee based on her gender and age and also alleged intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent hiring, negligent training, and negligent supervision. While the Company entered into a partial settlement with the former employee in December 2022 for a de minimus cash amount relating solely to the discrimination claim, the other claims remain.

While the Company believes that all claims of the above mentioned Employment Related Claims, which are covered under the Company’s insurance policies, are meritless, and it plans to defend these allegations, it is reasonably possible that the Company may ultimately be required to pay substantial damages to the claimants, which could be up to $0.5 million or more in aggregate compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs. Management believes that any liability, in excess of applicable insurance coverages or accruals, which may result from these claims, would not be significant to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

General Liability and Other Claims.

The Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise during the normal course of business, including landlord disputes, slip and fall cases, and various food related matters. While it intends to vigorously defend these matters, it is reasonably possible that the Company may be required to pay substantial damages to the claimants. Management believes that any liability, in excess of applicable insurance coverages or accruals, which may result from these claims, would not be significant to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Purchase Commitments

From time to time, we enter into purchase commitments for certain food commodities in the normal course of business. As of April 3, 2023, we entered into approximately $3.1 million in unconditional purchase obligations over the next twelve months.

9. Leases

The Company has entered into various lease agreements. For the quarters ended April 3, 2023 and March 31, 2022 rent expense was approximately $3.1 million, and $3.3 million, respectively. These lease agreements expire on various dates through 2032 and have renewal options.

11. Income Taxes

For the quarter ended April 3, 2023, the Company's effective income tax rate was 0.0%. The difference from the U.S. corporate statutory federal income tax rate of 21%, is primarily the result of the valuation allowance applied to reduce the Company’s deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company's effective income tax rate was 0.8%, differing from the U.S. corporate statutory federal income tax rate of 21%, and the difference is primarily the result of the valuation allowance applied to reduce the Company’s deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. As of April 3, 2023, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $0.2 million.

Such variables are outside of those used to determine the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed instrument, and as such, the warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, with changes in fair value included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The warrant liability was $0.3 million and $0.2 million at April 3, 2023 and January 2, 2023, respectively and is included in other non-current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

(in thousands)	Quarter Ended
Warrant liability at January 2, 2023	$	195
Loss during the period	73
Warrant liability at April 3, 2023	$	268

The fair value of the warrants are determined using the publicly-traded price of our common stock on the valuation dates of $1.30 on April 3, 2023 and $1.26 on January 2, 2023. See Note 13, “Fair Value Measurements.”

13. Fair Value Measurements

Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using public market prices, quotes from financial institutions, and other available information. The fair values of cash equivalents, receivables, net, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate their carrying amounts due to their short duration.

The following tables summarize the fair values of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of April 3, 2023 and January 2, 2023.

In estimating our fair value disclosures for financial instruments, we use the following methods and assumptions:

The fair value of the Company warrant liability is measured at fair value on a recurring basis, classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the private placement warrants, private warrants, and working capital warrants are determined using the publicly-traded price of its common stock on the valuation dates of $1.30 on April 3, 2023 and $1.26 on January 2, 2023. The fair value is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires us to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend rate and service period. The calculated warrant price for private warrants was $0.07 and $0.05 on April 3, 2023 and January 2, 2023.

The input variables for the Black-Scholes are noted in the table below:


	April 3, 2023		January 2, 2023
Risk-free interest rate	3.73	%	4.14	%
Expected life in years	2.7		3.0
Expected volatility	75.0	%	68.0	%
Expected dividend yield	—	%	—	%

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include our long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets which are adjusted to fair value upon impairment. In determining fair value, we used an income-based approach. As a number of assumptions and estimates were involved that are largely unobservable, they are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. Assumptions used in these forecasts are consistent with internal planning, and include revenue growth rates, royalties, gross margins, and operating expense in relation to the current economic environment and the Company’s future expectations.

14. Segment Information

The Company has two operating and reportable segments: BurgerFi and Anthony's.

The Company’s measure of segment income is Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense (which includes accretion on the value of preferred stock and interest accretion on related party note), restructuring costs, merger, acquisition and integration costs, legal settlements, store closure costs, pre-opening costs, loss on change in value of warrant liability and income tax benefit. Although the Company had historically considered net income to be an appropriate measure of segment profit and loss, management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a more meaningful measure of the Company’s performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is used by the Company to evaluate its performance, both internally and as compared with its peers, because this measure excludes certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s operating performance, as well as items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. The Company believes that this adjusted measure provides a baseline for analyzing trends in its underlying business.

The following table presents segment revenue and a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss by segment:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2023 (the “2022 Form 10-K”). Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in the sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q titled “Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” and in Part I. “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the 2022 Form 10-K.

Overview

The Company is a leading multi-brand restaurant company that develops, markets and acquires fast-casual and premium-casual dining restaurant concepts around the world, including corporate-owned stores and franchises. As of April 3, 2023, we were the owner and franchisor of the two following brands:

BurgerFi. BurgerFi is a fast-casual “better burger” concept, renowned for delivering an exceptional, all-natural premium “better burger” experience in a refined, contemporary environment. BurgerFi’s chef-driven menu offerings and eco-friendly restaurant design drive our brand communication. It offers a classic American menu of premium burgers, hot dogs, crispy chicken, frozen custard, hand-cut fries, shakes, beer, wine and more. Originally founded in 2011 in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Florida, the purpose was simple – “RedeFining” the way the world eats burgers by providing an upscale burger offering, at a fast-casual price point. BurgerFi is committed to an uncompromising and rewarding dining experience that promises fresh food of transparent quality. Since its inception, BurgerFi has grown to 112 BurgerFi locations, and as of April 3, 2023, was comprised of 27 corporate-owned restaurants and 85 franchised restaurants in two countries including 21 states within the United States, as well as Puerto Rico.

BurgerFi was named "The Very Best Burger" at the 2023 edition of the nationally acclaimed SOBE Wine and Food Festival, "Best Fast Casual Restaurant" in USA Today's 10Best 2022 Readers' Choice Awards for the second consecutive year, QSR Magazine's Breakout Brand of 2020 and Fast Casual's 2021 #1 Brand of the Year. In 2021, Consumer Reports’awarded BurgerFi an “A-Grade Angus Beef” rating for the third consecutive year.

Anthony’s. Anthony’s is a premium pizza and wing brand operating 60 corporate-owned casual restaurant locations, as of April 3, 2023. Anthony’s prides itself on serving fresh, never frozen, high-quality ingredients. The concept is centered around a 900-degree coal fired oven, and its menu offers “well-done” pizza, coal fired chicken wings, homemade meatballs, and a variety of handcrafted sandwiches and salads. The restaurants also feature a deep wine and craft beer selection to round out the menu. The pizzas are prepared using a unique coal fired oven to quickly seal in natural flavors while creating a lightly charred crust. Anthony’s provides a differentiated offering among its casual dining peers driven by its coal fired oven, which enables the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients with quicker ticket times.

Since its inception in 2002, the Anthony’s brand has grown to 60 corporate-owned locations, as of April 3, 2023, primarily along the East coast and has restaurants in eight states, including Florida (28), Pennsylvania (12), New Jersey (8), New York (5), Massachusetts (4), Delaware (2), Maryland (1), and Rhode Island (1).

Anthony’s was named “The Best Pizza Chain in America" by USA Today's Great American Bites and “Top 3 Best Major Pizza Chain” by Mashed in 2021.

Segments

We have two operating and reportable segments: (1) BurgerFi and (2) Anthony’s. Our business generates revenue from the following sources: (i) restaurant sales, (ii) royalty and other fees, consisting primarily of royalties based on a percentage of sales reported by franchised restaurants and paid by franchisees, and (iii) franchise fees, consisting primarily of licensing fees paid by franchisees.

Systemwide Restaurant Sales

“Systemwide Restaurant Sales” are not revenues to the Company, however the Company records royalty revenue based as a percentage of Systemwide Restaurant Sales. Systemwide Restaurant Sales is presented as informational data in order to understand the aggregation of franchised stores sales, ghost kitchen and corporate-owned store sales performance. Systemwide Restaurant Sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all franchised restaurants, ghost kitchens and corporate-owned restaurants in one period from the same period in the prior year. Systemwide Restaurant Same-Store Sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all franchised restaurants, ghost kitchens, and corporate-owned restaurants once the restaurant has been in operation after 14 months. See definition below under Digital Channel discussion for Same-Store Sales.

Corporate-Owned Restaurant Sales

“Corporate-Owned Restaurant Sales” represent the sales generated only by corporate-owned restaurants. Corporate-Owned Restaurant Sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all corporate-owned restaurants in

Table of Contents

one period from the same period in the prior year. Corporate-Owned Restaurant Same-Store Sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all corporate-owned restaurants once the restaurant has been in operation after 14 months. These measures highlight the performance of existing corporate-owned restaurants.

Franchise Restaurant Sales

“Franchise Restaurant Sales” represent the sales generated only by franchisee-owned restaurants and are not recorded as revenue, however, the royalties based on a percentage of these franchise restaurant sales are recorded as revenue. Franchise Restaurant Sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all franchised restaurants in one period from the same period in the prior year. Franchise Restaurant Same-Store Sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all franchised restaurants once the restaurant has been in operation after 14 months. These measures highlight the performance of existing franchised restaurants.

Same-Store Sales

We use the measure of “Same Store Sales” to evaluate the performance of our store base, which excludes the impact of new stores and closed stores, in both periods under comparison. We include a restaurant in the calculation of Same-Store Sales once it has been in operation after 14 months. A restaurant that is temporarily closed, is included in the Same-Store Sales computation. A restaurant that is closed permanently, such as upon termination of the lease, or other permanent closure, is immediately removed from the Same-Store Sales computation. Our calculation of Same-Store Sales may not be comparable to others in the industry.

Digital Channel % of Systemwide Sales

We use the measure of “Digital Channel” % of systemwide sales to evaluate the performance of our investments made in our digital platform and partnerships with third party delivery partners. We believe our digital platform capabilities are a vital element to continuing to serve our customers and will continue to be a differentiator for the Company as compared to some of our competitors. Digital Channel as percentages of systemwide sales are indicative of the sales placed through our digital platforms and the percentage of those digital sales when compared to total sales at all our franchised and corporate-owned restaurants.

Unless otherwise stated, “Systemwide Restaurant Sales”, “Systemwide Sales Growth”, and “Same-Store Sales” are presented on a systemwide basis, which means they include franchise restaurants and corporate-owned restaurants. Franchise restaurant sales represent sales at all franchise restaurants and are revenues to our franchisees. We do not record franchise sales as revenues; however, our royalty revenues and brand royalty revenues are calculated based on a percentage of franchise sales.

By providing these key metrics, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives.

Restaurant Sales

For the quarter ended April 3, 2023, the Company’s restaurant sales increased by approximately $1.0 million or 2% as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by the additional revenue from new restaurants opened during the period and an increase in same-store sales at Anthony’s, partially offset by a decrease in same-store sales at BurgerFi.

Total consolidated restaurant level operating expenses as a percentage of restaurant sales was 83.4% for the quarter ended April 3, 2023 as compared to 86.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, an improvement of 260 basis points. For the BurgerFi brand, restaurant-level operating expenses, as a percentage of sales, improved 100 basis points for the first quarter of 2023, compared to the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower food costs partially offset by lower leverage on sales. For the Anthony's brand, restaurant-level operating expenses, as a percentage of sales, improved 310 basis points for the first quarter of 2023, compared to the first quarter of 2022, driven primarily from lower food costs.

Food, Beverage and Paper Costs

Food, beverage, and paper costs for the quarter ended April 3, 2023 decreased approximately $1.2 million, or 9% as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022. As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, food, beverage and paper costs were 26.8% for the quarter ended April 3, 2023 as compared to 30.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower food costs for the Anthony’s brand, which contributed approximately $1.1 million, or 92% of the decrease.

Labor and Related Expenses

Labor and related expenses for the quarter ended April 3, 2023 increased by approximately $0.6 million, or 5% as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022. As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, labor and related expenses were 30.5% for the quarter ended April 3, 2023 as compared to 29.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, labor and related expenses were 30.5% for the quarter ended April 3, 2023 as compared to 29.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. This 80 basis points increase is primarily due to higher hourly wages at both brands and more BurgerFi corporate stores operating in the current quarter when compared to the same quarter of the prior year.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses for the quarter ended April 3, 2023 increased by approximately $0.3 million, or 4% as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022. As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, other operating expenses were 17.2% for the quarter ended April 3, 2023 as compared to 17.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. This 20 basis points increase primarily relates to more BurgerFi corporate stores operating in the current quarter when compared to the same quarter of the prior year.

Occupancy and Related Expenses

Occupancy and related expenses for the quarter ended April 3, 2023 remained consistent quarter over quarter. As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, occupancy and related expenses were 8.9% for the quarter ended April 3, 2023 as compared to 9.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The slight improvement as a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales was due to improved sales leverage coming from the Anthony’s brand.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended April 3, 2023 increased by approximately $0.5 million, or 9% as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase was due to higher wages and professional fees incurred during the quarter ended April 3, 2023 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense was $3.2 million for the quarter ended April 3, 2023 as compared to $4.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily related to lower asset values due to fully depreciated assets and as a result of impairments recorded during the prior year.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Share-based compensation expense was $4.7 million for the quarter ended April 3, 2023 as compared to $7.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to lower value of restricted stock unit grants during the quarter ended April 3, 2023 as compared to the prior period.

Brand Development, Co-op and Advertising Expense

Brand development, co-op and advertising expense was $1.1 million for the quarter ended April 3, 2023 as compared to $0.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. This increase primarily relates to the timing of advertising activities in the early part of 2023 when compared to the same quarter in the prior year.

Store Closure Costs

Store closure costs were $0.1 million for the quarter ended April 3, 2023 as compared to $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 primarily as a result of lower closure related activities during the first quarter of 2023 when compared to the corresponding period in 2022.

Table of Contents

Restructuring Costs

Restructuring costs for the quarter ended April 3, 2023 of $0.9 million primarily related to professional fees and other costs incurred in connection with our Credit Facility requirements to raise additional capital or debt. See Note 10, “Debt,” for further discussion of our credit facilities and indebtedness.

Pre-opening Costs

We had no pre-opening costs for the quarter ended April 3, 2023 compared to $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 due to having no corporate-owned store pre-opening activities in the first quarter of 2023.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was approximately $2.1 million during both quarters ended April 3, 2023 and March 31, 2022. Interest expense primarily resulted from interest associated with our senior credit facility, interest accretion on the related party note and the accretion in value of our outstanding preferred stock.

Loss on Change in Value of Warrant Liability

The Company recorded a non-cash loss of approximately $0.1 million during the quarter ended April 3, 2023 compared to a non-cash loss of approximately $0.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 related to a change in the fair value of the warrant liability as a result of an increase in the market price of our outstanding warrants.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

For the quarter ended April 3, 2023, the Company recorded no income tax expense or benefit. This resulted in an effective tax rate of 0%. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded de minimis income tax expense due to valuation allowance, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 0.8%. The difference from the U.S. corporate statutory federal income tax rate of 21%, is primarily the result of the valuation allowance applied to reduce the Company’s deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Net Loss

Net loss was $9.2 million compared with a net loss of $13.6 million, for the quarters ended April 3, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The change was primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense and lower depreciation and amortization expense than the prior period.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $2.6 million and $2.3 million for the quarters ended April 3, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended April 3, 2023 is primarily the result of corporate-owned restaurant sales growth and, lower restaurant operating expenses as a percentage of sales, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses and brand development, co-op and advertising expense. Please see below for reconciliation of non-U.S. GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, net (loss) income on a consolidated basis and by segment.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures

As appropriate, we supplement our reported U.S. GAAP financial information with certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense (which includes accretion on the value of preferred stock and interest accretion on related party note), restructuring costs, merger, acquisition and integration costs, legal settlements, store closure costs, pre-opening costs, loss on change in value of warrant liability and income tax benefit.

We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance, both internally and as compared with our peers, because this measure excludes certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results, as well as items that can vary

Table of Contents

widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. We believe that this adjusted measure provides a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying business.

We believe that this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure provides meaningful information and helps investors understand our financial results and assess our prospects for future performance. Because non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-U.S. GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or alternative measures of, reported net income or diluted earnings per share, and should be viewed in conjunction with the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and the provided reconciliations thereto. We believe this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, when viewed together with our U.S. GAAP results and the related reconciliations, provides a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

Below is a reconciliation of Non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, net loss on a consolidated basis and by segment for the quarters ending April 3, 2023 and March 31, 2022:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand and availability on our line of credit. As of April 3, 2023, we had liquidity of $13.0 million, comprised of a cash balance of $9.0 million and $4.0 million of undrawn availability on our line of credit.

Our primary requirements for liquidity are to fund our working capital needs, operating and finance lease obligations, capital expenditures and general corporate needs. Our requirements for working capital are generally not significant because our guests pay for their food and beverage purchases in cash or on debit or credit cards at the time of the sale and we are able to sell many of our inventory items before payment is due to the supplier of such items. Our ongoing capital expenditures are principally related to light remodels and equipment replacement, as well as investments in our digital and corporate infrastructure.

We have implemented, and may continue to further implement price increases to mitigate the inflationary effects of food and labor costs, however we cannot predict the long-term impact of these negative economic conditions on our restaurant profitability.

We currently believe we are able to pay our obligations as they become due for at least the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future, with our cash flow generated from operations and our cash on hand balance and availability under our line of credit.

The following table presents the summary cash flow information for the periods indicated:

During the quarter ended April 3, 2023, cash flows used in operating activities were approximately $2.0 million.

Additionally, changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in a net liability decrease of approximately $2.0 million, which was mainly due to a net decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities primarily as a result of legal settlements and professional services related to obtaining financing under the amended credit agreement.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

During the quarter ended April 3, 2023, cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $0.8 million, which were primarily related to purchases of property and equipment for minor remodels and equipment replacements.
