1. Organization

BurgerFi International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“BurgerFi,” or the “Company,” also “we,” “us,” and “our”), is a 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 located in the United States, Puerto Rico and Saudi Arabia. As of April 1, 2024, the Company had 162 franchised and corporate-owned restaurants of the two following brands:

BurgerFi. BurgerFi is a fast-casual “better burger” concept with 102 franchised and corporate-owned restaurants as of April 1, 2024, offering burgers, hot dogs, crispy chicken, hand-cut fries, frozen custard and shakes, beer, wine and more.

Anthony’s. Anthony’s is a pizza and wing brand that operated 60 restaurants including 59 corporate-owned and one franchise location co-branded with BurgerFi as of April 1, 2024. The concept is centered around a coal-fired oven, and its menu offers “well-done” pizza, coal-fired chicken wings, homemade meatballs, and a variety of handcrafted sandwiches and salads.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, as discussed below and elsewhere through this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern existed as of April 1, 2024 as a result of non-compliance of the Company’s liquidity covenant within the Company’s Credit Agreement. Please see Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial

Table of Contents

BurgerFi International Inc., and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Condition and Results of Operations, as well as Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2024 (the “2023 Form 10-K”) and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for further information.

The Company’s credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks has Term Loan and Revolving line of credit financing of approximately $51.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, outstanding as of April 1, 2024, and expires on September 30, 2025. The Credit Agreement contains various covenants, including requirements for the Company to meet certain trailing twelve-month quarterly financial ratios and a minimum liquidity threshold. As of April 1, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with the minimum liquidity requirement of the Credit Agreement, which constitutes a breach of the Credit Agreement and an event of default. Accordingly, the outstanding balance of the Credit Agreement is included in short-term borrowings together with the short term portion of other notes payable and outstanding balances under its finance leases on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

This event of default entitles the lenders to call the debt sooner than its maturity date of September 30, 2025. The Company does not have and is not forecasted to have the readily available funds to repay the debt if called by the lenders.

The Company has been actively engaged in discussions with its lenders to explore potential solutions regarding the default event and its resolution. We cannot, however, predict the results of any such negotiations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

From April 15, 2024 to April 17, 2024, the Company received notices from the syndicate of commercial bank lenders under the Credit Agreement that each lender’s respective (i) rights and obligations as a lender under the Credit Agreement and any other document or instruments delivered pursuant thereto to the extent related to the amount and percentage interest of the loans and commitments under the Credit Agreement held by such lender and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims, suits, causes of action and any other right of such lender against any person, whether known or unknown, arising under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto or the loan transactions governed thereby or in any way based on or related to any of the foregoing rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement were assigned to TREW Capital Management Private Credit 2 LLC (“TREW”). The foregoing assignments represented 100% of the amount of revolving loan commitments under the Credit Agreement and 100% of the amount of term loan under the Credit Agreement. The Company has initiated discussions with TREW with respect to potential solutions regarding the event of default described above. See Note 10, “Debt,” for additional disclosure surrounding the amended Credit Agreement.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2024 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date. Because certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended January 1, 2024 contained in the 2023 Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

We are required to evaluate events occurring after April 1, 2024 for recognition and disclosure in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended April 1, 2024. Events are evaluated based on whether they represent information existing as of April 1, 2024, which require recognition, or new events occurring after April 1, 2024 which do not require recognition but require disclosure if the event is significant. We evaluated events occurring subsequent to April 1, 2024 through the date of issuance of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The Company reports on a 52-53-week fiscal year ending on the Monday nearest to December 31 of each year. Our first fiscal quarter of 2024 ended on April 1, 2024. Our current fiscal year will end on December 30, 2024.

Principles of Consolidation

Table of Contents

BurgerFi International Inc., and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

Prepaid expenses

The Company routinely issues prepayments to landlords, insurers and vendors in the ordinary course of business. As of April 1, 2024 and January 1, 2024, the Company had $2.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively of prepayments included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Assets Held for Sale

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 on-going negotiations. 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 liabilities 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 1, 2024 and January 1, 2024. On April 28, 2024, the parties executed a settlement term sheet to continue the trial related to this matter. The parties are drafting a formal settlement agreement for Court ratification. Refer to Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies,” for further discussion.

Other Current Liabilities

The Company incurs liabilities associated with the sale of gift cards and gift certificates. As of April 1, 2024 and January 1, 2024, the Company had $1.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively of gift card and gift certificate liabilities included in other current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The decrease in gift card liabilities at April 1, 2024 compared to January 1, 2024 relates to the expiration of the Company’s Holiday Gift Card Program.

The Company incurs liabilities resulting from its customer loyalty program. As of April 1, 2024 and January 1, 2024, the Company had $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively of liabilities for its loyalty program in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

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, (2) 2,423,069 shares of restricted stock units outstanding in the calculation of net loss per common share, and (3) 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 1, 2024		April 3, 2023


Net loss available to common stockholders - diluted	$	(6,538)	$	(9,151)

For the quarter ended April 1, 2024 and April 3, 2023, 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.

Pursuant to a lease amendment entered into in February 2022, the Company leases building space for its corporate office from an entity controlled by the Company's Executive Chairman of the Board. This lease has a 10-year term with an option to renew. Rent expense was approximately $0.2 million for each of the quarters ended April 1, 2024 and April 3, 2023,

On June 3, 2023, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with an investing entity for the sale of 2,868,853 shares of Company common stock at an issuance price of $1.22 per share for total proceeds of $3.4 million. Upon the execution of this agreement, the investing entity became a holder of approximately 11% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. During the year ended January 1, 2024, the Company entered into four franchise agreements with an affiliate of this entity. The Company received royalty revenue from such franchises related to a significant stockholder totaling approximately $0.1 million for the quarter ended April 1, 2024.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

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 $26.0 million. In November 2022, as amended in February 2023, the Company filed its answer to the complaint. On April 13, 2023, Lion Point filed a Motion for Summary Judgment, and the Company responded with its reply on June 22, 2023. On October 12, 2023, the Court granted Lion Point’s Motion for Summary Judgment and set a status conference for November 15, 2023 to begin the damages phase of the case. At status conference on November 15, 2023, a schedule for discovery deadlines was discussed and set out by the Court. The next status conference was continued from March 13, 2024 to April 24, 2024. At the April 24, 2024 status conference a revised discovery schedule was agreed to and the case is scheduled to proceed with the discovery schedule and depositions. The Company continues to believe that all claims are meritless and plans to vigorously defend such claims. The Company is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss or range of loss, if any, which may result from the case described above, and 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 $2.0 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. On November 5, 2023, the parties attended mediation, which ended in an impasse. Depositions are ongoing and a trial was set for the 5 week docket beginning the week of April 15, 2024. On April 28, 2024, the parties executed a settlement term sheet to continue the trial. The parties are in the process of drafting a

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

formal settlement agreement for Court ratification. On May 1, 2024, a joint stipulation to stay the case for 90 days was filed with the Court to allow for completion of the settlement agreement. On May 12, 2024, the Court entered an order staying the case for 90 days.

The settlement term sheet provides for $2.0 million in payments for purchase of the two franchised locations in Aventura and Dania Pointe. Transfer of ownership to the Company is intended to occur upon the completion of the settlement payment requirements or earlier buyout. The settlement payments consist of an initial payment of $0.3 million due on August 1, 2024 and additional payments of $1.7 million in royalty relief for the Aventura and Dania Pointe locations.

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 minimis cash amount relating solely to the discrimination claim, the other claims remain.

In March 2020, the Company received notification of a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”) complaint claiming sexual harassment and assault. On July 5, 2023, the EEOC issued a determination letter declining to investigate the matter further and issued a right to sue letter. On September 29, 2023, the claimant filed a lawsuit. The suit is in the early stages and the Company is currently working through initial responses.

On or about April 4, 2024, the Company received a demand letter regarding a former employee’s claims of a racially and sexually abusive, discriminatory, hostile and retaliatory work environment. The demand letter is in the early stages and the Company is currently working through the allegations.

On or about April 15, 2024, the Company was served with a lawsuit alleging wrongful termination of a store manager that is seeking damages for among other items, back pay, emotional distress and front pay. The suit is in the early stages and the Company is currently working through initial responses.

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 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 1, 2024, we entered into approximately $5.7 million in unconditional purchase obligations over the next twelve months.

9. Leases

The Company has entered into various lease agreements and these agreements expire on various dates through 2032 and have renewal options.

The Credit Agreement provides the Company with lender financing structured as a $57.8 million term loan and a $4.0 million revolving loan.

On February 1, 2023, the Credit Agreement was amended through the Fourteenth Amendment and subsequently on February 24, 2023 further amended through the Fifteenth Amendment resulting in the Company and its subsidiaries entering into a Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) with CP7 Warming Bag L.P., an affiliate of L. Catterton Fund L.P., as lender (the “Junior Lender”), pursuant to which the Junior Lender continued that certain delayed draw term loan (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”) of $10.0 million, under the Credit Agreement, which is junior subordinated secured indebtedness, and also provided $5.1 million of new junior subordinated secured indebtedness, to the Company (collectively the “Junior Indebtedness”), for a total of $15.1 million in junior subordinated secured debt on terms reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement), including, without limitation, that (1) such indebtedness shall not mature until at least two (2) years after the maturity date of the credit facility of September 30, 2025; (2) no payments of cash interest shall be made on such indebtedness until after the repayment in full of the obligations under the Credit Agreement; and (3) no scheduled or voluntary payments of principal shall be made until after the repayment in full of the obligations under the Credit Agreement.

On July 7, 2023, the Credit Agreement was amended through the Sixteenth Amendment, which amended the definition of EBITDA for the purposes of expanding the scope of non-recurring items that may be included in the determination of Adjusted EBITDA, as well as modifications to certain covenants for leverage and fixed charge ratios.

As of April 1, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with the minimum liquidity requirement of the Credit Agreement,which constitutes a breach of the Credit Agreement and an event of default. Accordingly, the outstanding balance of the Credit Agreement is included in short-term borrowings together with the short term borrowings, including finance leases in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company is not forecasted to have the readily available funds to repay the debt if the lenders do call the debt, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

As discussed in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, the Company received notices from the syndicate of commercial banks under the Credit Agreement that all of the rights, obligations and claims under the Credit Agreement were assigned to TREW. The Company has initiated discussions with TREW with respect to potential solutions regarding the event of default described above.

The terms of the Credit Agreement as amended require the Company to repay the principal of the term loan in quarterly installments, and pay the outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit at maturity; however, due to event of default we classified all of the principal as payable within the next nine months as follows:

The Credit Agreement, including the term loan and revolving line of credit, is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and incurs interest on outstanding amounts at the following rates per annum through maturity:


Time Period			Interest Rate
From January 1, 2024 through June 15, 2024			7.25%
From June 16, 2024 through maturity			7.75%

The Delayed Draw Term Loan is a non-interest bearing loan and, accordingly, was recorded at fair value as part of the Anthony’s acquisition which resulted in a debt discount of approximately $1.3 million, which is being amortized over the period of the Delayed Draw Term Loan. The Company recorded debt discount amortization of $0.1 million for each of the quarters ended April 1, 2024 and April 3, 2023, which is included within interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Junior Indebtedness, which accrues interest at 4% per annum (i) is secured by a second lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors (the “Guarantors”) pursuant to the terms and that certain Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated February 24, 2023, by and among the Guarantors and the Junior Lender, (ii) is subject to the terms of that certain Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement dated February 24, 2023, by and between the Administrative Agent and the Junior Lender and acknowledged by the borrowers and the Guarantors, and (iii) matures on the date that is the second anniversary of the maturity date under the Credit Agreement (the “Junior Maturity Date”) (September 30, 2027, based on the maturity date under the Credit Agreement of September 30, 2025).

Under the terms of the Junior Indebtedness, no payments of cash interest or payments of principal shall be due until the Junior Maturity Date, and no voluntary prepayments may be made on the Junior Indebtedness prior to the Junior Maturity Date until after the repayment in full of the obligations under the Credit Agreement.

The Company had $14.5 million recorded, net of unamortized discount under the Junior Indebtedness as of April 1, 2024 and January 1, 2024, respectively, included in Related party note payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The amendments to the Credit Agreement and the Delayed Draw Term Loan were accounted for as modifications of debt in the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements.

For the quarter ended April 1, 2024 and April 3, 2023, interest expense consisted of:

11. Income Taxes

For each of the quarters ended April 1, 2024 and April 3, 2023, the Company's effective income tax rate was 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 each of the quarters ended April 1, 2024 and April 3, 2023, respectively.

12. Stockholders' Equity

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share.

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors. As of April 1, 2024 and January 1, 2024, there were 2,120,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding.

On February 24, 2023, the Company filed an amended and restated certificate of designation, (the “A&R CoD”), which among other matters, added a provision providing that in the event the Company fails to timely redeem any shares of Series A Preferred Stock on November 3, 2027, the applicable dividend rate shall automatically increase to the lesser of (A) the sum of 10.0% plus the 2.0% applicable default rate (with such aggregate rate increasing by an additional 0.35% per quarter from and after November 3, 2027), or (B) the maximum rate that may be applied under applicable law, unless waived in writing by a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Junior Preferred Stock.

The A&R CoD also added a provision providing that in the event the Company fails to timely redeem any shares of Series A Junior Preferred Stock in connection with a Qualified Financing (as defined in the A&R CoD) on November 3, 2027 (a “Default”), the Company agrees to promptly commence a debt or equity financing transaction or sale process to solicit proposals for the sale of the Company and its subsidiaries (or, alternatively, the sale of material assets) designed to yield the maximum cash proceeds to the Company available for redemption of the Series A Junior Preferred Stock as promptly as practicable, but in any event, within 12 months from the date of the Default. If on or after November 3, 2026, the Company is aware that it is reasonably unlikely to have sufficient cash to timely effect the redemption in full of the Series A Junior Preferred Stock when first due, the Company shall, prior to such anticipated due date, take reasonable steps to engage an investment banking firm of national standing (and other appropriate professionals) to conduct preparatory work

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

for such a financing transaction and sale process of the Company and its subsidiaries to provide for such transaction to occur as promptly as possible after any failure for a timely redemption of the Series A Junior Preferred Stock.

The Series A Junior Preferred Stock ranks senior to the common stock and may be redeemed at the option of the Company at any time and must be redeemed by the Company in limited circumstances. The Series A Junior Preferred Stock shall not have voting rights or conversion rights.

Interests in a Consolidated Joint Venture

On February 29, 2024, the Company formed a joint venture with a third party for the development and operation of BurgerFi’s flagship corporate store in New York City, which opened during the quarter ended April 1, 2024. The Company holds an 80% interest in the joint venture and consolidates a $0.5 million 20% contribution to the joint venture from the non-controlling owner.

Warrants and Options

As of April 1, 2024, the Company had the following warrants and options outstanding: 15,063,800 warrants outstanding, each exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 including 11,468,800 in public warrants, 3,000,000 in Private Placement Warrants, 445,000 in Private Warrants (“private warrants”) and 150,000 in Working Capital Warrants. The public warrants expire in December 2025.

Warrant Liability

The Company has private warrants, which include provisions that affect the settlement amount. 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 $0.04 million and $0.2 million at April 1, 2024 and January 1, 2024, respectively. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities for the quarters ended April 1, 2024 and April 3, 2023 resulted in a gain of $0.1 million and a loss of $0.1 million, respectively, and is recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The following is an analysis of changes in the warrant liability:



(in thousands)
Warrant liability at January 1, 2024	$	182
Gain during the period	(144)
Warrant liability at April 1, 2024	$	38

The fair value of the warrants are determined using the publicly-traded price of our common stock on the valuation dates of $0.5990 on April 1, 2024 and $0.86 on December 29, 2023, the last trading day before January 1, 2024. See Note 13, “Fair Value Measurements.”

As of April 1, 2024 and January 1, 2024, there were approximately 1,400,000 and 400,000 shares of common stock available for future grants under the Plan, respectively.

The Company grants RSUs with service conditions, PSUs with performance and market conditions and unrestricted stock awards. RSUs granted with service conditions generally vest over 4 years. Performance conditions are based on key performance indicators, and market conditions include an index to the market value of the stock price of the Company. The fair value of the RSUs and PSUs granted is determined using the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, as set forth in the applicable Plan document.

RSU and PSU Awards under the Plan

The following table summarizes activity of RSUs and PSUs during the quarter ended April 1, 2024:


	Number of Restricted Stock Units	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at January 1, 2024	1,162,550	$	7.37
Granted	639,535	$	0.81
Vested	(225,925)	$	2.50
Forfeited	(273,091)	$	4.48
Non-vested at April 1, 2024	1,303,069	$	5.10

Share-based compensation expense recognized for awards under the Plan during the quarters and ended April 1, 2024 and April 3, 2023 was $0.8 million and $4.7 million, respectively. As of April 1, 2024, there was approximately $5.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs or PSUs under the Plan to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.1 years.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards - Inducement Awards

On July 10, 2023, the Company issued awards of RSUs and PSUs to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO Awards”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO Awards”) as part of an inducement to enter into employment agreements with the Company (“Inducement Awards”). The Inducement Awards are not part of the Plan. Vesting for the Inducement Awards is over a five year period. Share based compensation expense related to the Inducement Awards recognized during the quarter ended April 1, 2024 was $0.2 million. As of April 1, 2024, there was approximately $1.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Inducement Awards to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.2 years.

Terms of the Inducement Awards are as follows:

•The CEO Awards are comprised of 500,000 time based RSUs which, subject to continuous employment, vest in equal tranches of 100,000 units per year, and 500,000 PSUs, which, subject to continuous employment and the achievement of certain performance criteria, vest in equal tranches of 100,000 units per year.

•The CFO Awards are comprised of 200,000 time based RSUs which, subject to continuous employment, vest in equal tranches of 40,000 units per year, and 200,000 PSUs, which, subject to continuous employment and the achievement of certain performance criteria, vest in equal tranches of 40,000 units per year.

Share-based compensation expense recognized for awards under the Plan and the Inducement Awards during the quarters ended April 1, 2024 and April 3, 2023 was $1.0 million and $4.7 million, respectively. As of April 1, 2024, there was approximately $7.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs or PSUs under the Plan and Inducement Awards to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

13. Fair Value Measurements

Table of Contents

BurgerFi International Inc., and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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 1, 2024 and January 1, 2024.


	Items Measured at Fair Value at April 1, 2024
(in thousands)	Quoted prices in active market for identical assets (liabilities) (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Warrant liability	—		$	38	—
Total	$	—	$	38	$	—


	Items Measured at Fair Value at January 1, 2024
(in thousands)	Quoted prices in active market for identical assets (liabilities) (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Warrant liability	—		$	182	—
Total	$	—	$	182	$	—

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

The fair value of the Company’s 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 the Company’s common stock on the valuation dates of $0.5990 on April 1, 2024, and $0.86 on December 29, 2023, the last trading day before January 1, 2024. 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 $0.01 and $0.05 on April 1, 2024 and January 1, 2024, respectively.

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


	April 1, 2024		January 1, 2024
Risk-free interest rate	4.75	%	4.25	%
Expected life in years	1.7		2.0
Expected volatility	98.0	%	98.0	%
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

Table of Contents

BurgerFi International Inc., and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the CODM. The Company has two operating and reportable segments: BurgerFi and Anthony’s.

BurgerFi. BurgerFi is a fast-casual “better burger” concept with franchised and corporate-owned restaurants as offering burgers, hot dogs, crispy chicken, frozen custard, hand-cut fries, shakes, beer, wine and more.

Anthony’s. Anthony’s is a pizza and wing brand concept centered around a 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 CODM measures segment income based on Adjusted EBITDA and believes that the adjusted measure provides a baseline for analyzing business trends. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before lease termination recovery, share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense (which includes accretion on the value of preferred stock and interest accretion on the related party note), restructuring costs, merger, acquisition and integration costs, legal settlements, net, store closure costs, (gain) loss on change in value of warrant liability, pre-opening costs and (gain) loss on sale of assets.

External sales are derived principally from food and beverage sales, royalty and franchise revenue.

The Company does not rely on any major customers as a source of sales, and the customers and long-lived assets of our segments are predominantly in the U.S. There were no material transactions among the Company’s segments.

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 1, 2024 (the “2023 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 2023 Form 10-K.

Overview

We are 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 1, 2024, we were the owner and franchisor of the two following brands:

Anthony’s. Anthony’s is a premium pizza and wing brand, which 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 restaurants including 59 corporate-owned and one franchised location co-branded with BurgerFi as of April 1, 2024, primarily along the East coast and has restaurants in eight states, including Florida (28 corporate and one co-branded franchised), Pennsylvania (11), New Jersey (7), New York (6), 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,“Top 3 Best Major Pizza Chain” by Mashed in 2021, “The Absolute Best Wings in the U.S.” by Mashed in 2022 and named in “America's Favorite Restaurant Chains of 2022” by Newsweek.

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, hand-cut fries, frozen custard 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 102 BurgerFi locations, and as of April 1, 2024, was comprised of 27 corporate-owned restaurants and 75 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 2023 Readers' Choice Awards for the third consecutive year, QSR Magazine's Breakout Brand of 2020 and Fast Casual's 2021 #1 Brand of the Year. In 2021, Consumer Report praised BurgerFi for serving "no antibiotic beef" across all its restaurants, and Consumer Reports awarded BurgerFi an “A-Grade Angus Beef” rating for the third consecutive year.

Segments

We have two operating and reportable segments: (1) Anthony’s and (2) BurgerFi. 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.

Key Metrics

The following key metrics are important indicators of the overall direction of our business, including trends in sales and the effectiveness of our marketing, operating, and growth initiatives:

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 after 14 months of operations. See definition below 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 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 after 14 months of operations. 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 after 14 months of operations. These measures highlight the performance of existing franchised restaurants.

Same-Store Sales

The measure of “Same-Store Sales” is used 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 after 14 months of operations. 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

The measure of “Digital Channel % of Systemwide Sales” is used to measure 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 % 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.

Comparison of the quarter ended April 1, 2024 and April 3, 2023

Restaurant Sales

For the quarter ended April 1, 2024, the Company’s restaurant sales decreased by approximately $2.4 million or 6% as compared to the quarter ended April 3, 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in same-store sales at BurgerFi and Anthony’s including the closure of underperforming BurgerFi corporate-owned locations, which was partially offset by the additional revenue from the two acquired BurgerFi restaurants from franchisees during 2023.

Restaurant Level Operating Expenses

For the Anthony's brand, restaurant-level operating expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased 360 basis points for the quarter ended April 1, 2024, compared to the quarter ended April 3, 2023, driven primarily by higher wages and lower sales leverage on expenses. For the BurgerFi brand, restaurant-level operating expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased 850 basis points for the quarter ended April 1, 2024, compared to the quarter ended April 3, 2023, primarily due to lower sales leverage and higher wages.

Table of Contents

Food, Beverage and Paper Costs

Food, beverage and paper costs for the quarter ended April 1, 2024 improved approximately $0.6 million or 5% as compared to the quarter ended April 3, 2023. As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, food, beverage, and paper costs were 26.8% for the quarter ended April 1, 2024 as compared to 26.8% for the quarter ended April 3, 2023. The BurgerFi brand contributed to 92% of the change, which was primarily attributable to loss on sales leverage and lower food, beverage and paper costs.

Labor and Related Expenses

Labor and related expenses for the quarter ended April 1, 2024 increased by approximately $0.7 million, or 5% as compared to the quarter ended April 3, 2023. As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, labor, and related expenses were 34.0% for the quarter ended April 1, 2024 as compared to 30.5% for the quarter ended April 3, 2023. This 350 basis points increase is primarily due to higher per hour labor rates and lower efficiencies due to loss on sales leverage at both brands with Anthony’s contributing to $0.6 million or 91% of the increase.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses for the quarter ended April 1, 2024 decreased by approximately $0.3 million, or 4% as compared to the quarter ended April 3, 2023. As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, other operating expenses were 17.4% for the quarter ended April 1, 2024 as compared to 17.2% for the quarter ended April 3, 2023. This 20 basis points decrease primarily related to loss on sales leverage.

Occupancy and Related Expenses

Occupancy and related expenses for the quarter ended April 1, 2024 increased by approximately $0.1 million, or 1%, as compared to the quarter ended April 3, 2023. As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, occupancy and related expenses were 9.5% for the quarter ended April 1, 2024 as compared to 8.9% for the quarter ended April 3, 2023. This increase in percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales was due to lower sales leverage and operation of more BurgerFi corporate-owned restaurants during the quarter.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended April 1, 2024 decreased by approximately $1.3 million, or 19% as compared to the quarter ended April 3, 2023. The change was due to lower wages as a result of headcount reductions in our restaurant support center initiated during the second quarter of 2023 driven by efficiencies gained by integration activities, reduced litigation expenses, reduced professional fees and lower merger integration activities during the quarter ended April 1, 2024 as compared to the quarter ended April 3, 2023.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense was $3.0 million for the quarter ended April 1, 2024, as compared to $3.2 million for the quarter ended April 3, 2023. 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 $1.0 million for the quarter ended April 1, 2024, as compared to $4.7 million for the quarter ended April 3, 2023, primarily due to lower grant date fair value leading to reduced amortization of restricted stock unit grants during the quarter ended April 1, 2024 as compared to the prior year quarter.

Brand Development, Co-op and Advertising Expense

Brand development, co-op and advertising expense was $1.3 million for the quarter ended April 1, 2024, as compared to $1.1 million for the quarter ended April 3, 2023. This increase primarily relates to the timing of advertising activities in 2024 when compared to the same quarter in the prior year.

Table of Contents

Store Closure Costs

Store closure costs were $0.4 million for the quarter ended April 1, 2024 as compared to $0.1 million for the quarter ended April 3, 2023 primarily as a result of the closure of two BurgerFi company-owned locations during the current quarter.

Restructuring costs and other charges, net

Restructuring costs and other charges, net for the quarters ended April 1, 2024 and April 3, 2023 of $0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, primarily related to prior year professional fees and other costs incurred in connection with our Credit Facility requirements to raise additional capital or debt.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net was approximately $2.5 million and $2.1 million for quarters ended April 1, 2024 and April 3, 2023, respectively. Interest expense primarily resulted from interest associated with our Credit Agreement (as defined below), interest accretion on the related party note, and the accretion in value of our outstanding preferred stock offset by interest income on our cash deposits. Interest expense, net increased due to additional interest under our Credit Agreement and lower interest income on cash deposits.

Gain on Change in Value of Warrant Liability

The Company recorded a non-cash gain of approximately $0.1 million during the quarter ended April 1, 2024, as compared to a non-cash loss of approximately $0.1 million during the quarter ended April 3, 2023, related to a change in the fair value of the warrant liability as a result of a decrease in the market price of our outstanding warrants.

Net Loss

Net loss was $6.5 million, as compared with a net loss of $9.2 million for the quarters ended April 1, 2024 and April 3, 2023, respectively. Net loss improved primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense, lower general and administrative expenses, and lower restructuring costs.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $0.3 million and $2.6 million for the quarter ended April 1, 2024 and April 3, 2023, respectively. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended April 1, 2024 was driven by lost leverage on sales and higher wages. Please see below for reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net (loss) income on a consolidated basis and by segment.

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

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 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-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful information and helps investors understand our financial results and assess our prospects for future performance. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-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, and should be viewed in conjunction with the most comparable GAAP financial measures and the provided reconciliations thereto. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure, when viewed together with our 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-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net loss on a consolidated basis and by segment for the quarters ended April 1, 2024 and April 3, 2023:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash from operations and cash and cash equivalents on hand. As of April 1, 2024, we maintained a cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $4.1 million.

We have short and long-term material cash requirements for our working capital needs, known contractual obligations in the form of operating leases, finance leases, and debt obligations as disclosed in our consolidated financial statements, as well as ongoing capital expenditures. Excluding debt repayments, 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 requirements for operating and finance leases and ongoing capital expenditures are principally related to operating our store locations, remodels and maintenance, and investments in our digital and corporate infrastructure.

Our Credit Agreement contains numerous covenant clauses, including those whereby the Company is required to meet certain trailing twelve month quarterly financial ratios and a minimum liquidity requirement. The Company was not in compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant under the Credit Agreement as of April 1, 2024, which constitutes a breach of the Credit Agreement and an event of default.

This event of default allows the lenders to call the debt sooner than its maturity date of September 30, 2025. The Company does not currently have and is not forecasted to have the readily available funds to repay the debt if called by the lenders, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

Table of Contents

From April 15, 2024 to April 17, 2024, the Company received notices from the syndicate of commercial bank lenders under the Credit Agreement that all of the rights, obligations and claims under the Credit Agreement were assigned to TREW. The Company has initiated discussions with TREW with respect to potential solutions regarding the event of default described above. See Note 10, “Debt,” for additional disclosure surrounding the amended Credit Agreement.

Our long-term material cash requirements for periods beyond the next 12 months include obligations for operating leases and finance leases and ongoing capital expenditures. We currently are unable to assess the likelihood that our cash flows generated from operations and future available liquidity balances will be sufficient to meet our known short and long-term obligations as they currently exist.

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


	Three Months Ended
(in thousands)	April 1, 2024		April 3, 2023
Net cash (used in) provided by:
Operating activities	$	(2,916)	$	(1,961)
Investing activities	(834)		(802)
Financing activities	341		(128)
Net decrease in cash	$	(3,409)	$	(2,891)

Cash Flows Used In Operating Activities

During the quarter ended April 1, 2024, cash flows used in operating activities were approximately $2.9 million. The cash flows used in operating activities resulted from a net loss of $6.5 million primarily due to a decrease in same store sales and higher wages. Additionally, changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in a net liability decrease of approximately $0.8 million, which was mainly due to a net decrease in accounts payable - trade and other and prepaid expenses and other assets partially offset by an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, primarily as a result of timing of payments and timing of prepaid rent and insurance.

Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities

During the quarter ended April 1, 2024, cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $0.8 million primarily related to purchases of property and equipment for minor remodels and equipment replacements.

Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

During the quarter ended April 1, 2024, cash flows provided by financing activities were approximately $0.1 million, which were related to contributions of $0.5 million from a non-controlling interest, tax payments for restricted stock upon vesting, repayments of finance leases and payments on borrowings.

Credit Agreement

The Company is party to a credit agreement with a syndicate of commercial banks (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), which provides the Company with lender financing structured as a $57.8 million term loan and a $4.0 million line of credit as of April 1, 2024, with a maturity date of September 30, 2025.

On February 1, 2023, the Credit Agreement was amended through the Fourteenth Amendment and subsequently on February 24, 2023 further amended through the Fifteenth Amendment resulting in the Company and its subsidiaries entering into a Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) with CP7 Warming Bag L.P., an affiliate of L. Catterton Fund L.P., as lender (the “Junior Lender”), pursuant to which the Junior Lender continued that certain delayed draw term loan (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”) of $10.0 million, under the Credit Agreement, which is junior subordinated secured indebtedness, and also provided $5.1 million of new junior subordinated secured indebtedness, to the Company (collectively (the “Junior Indebtedness”), for a total of $15.1 million in junior subordinated secured debt on terms reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement), including, without limitation, that (1) such indebtedness shall not mature until at least two (2) years after the maturity date of the credit facility of September 30, 2025; (2) no payments of cash interest shall be made on such indebtedness until after the repayment in full of the obligations under the Credit Agreement; and (3) no scheduled or voluntary payments of principal shall be made until after the repayment in full of the obligations under the Credit Agreement.

On July 7, 2023 the Credit Agreement was amended through the Sixteenth Amendment, which amended the definition of EBITDA for the purposes of expanding the scope of non-recurring items that may be included in our determination of Adjusted EBITDA, as well as modifications to certain covenants for leverage and fixed charge ratios and requirements and timeline for when a management consultant must be engaged.

We recorded $15.1 million, net of unamortized discount of $0.6 million under the Junior Indebtedness as of April 1, 2024 included in related party note payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

From April 15, 2024 to April 17, 2024, we received notices from the syndicate of commercial bank lenders under the Credit Agreement that all of the rights, obligations and claims under the Credit Agreement were assigned to TREW.

Information regarding our Credit Agreement can be found under Note 10, “Debt,” to the consolidated financial statements included within this report.
