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. On November 3, 2021, the Company acquired (the "Anthony's acquisition") 100% of the outstanding shares of Hot Air, Inc. ("Hot Air"). Hot Air, through its subsidiaries, owns the business of operating upscale casual dining restaurants in the specialty pizza and wings segment under the name "Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza & Wings" ("Anthony's").

As of March 31, 2022, the Company has 185 franchised and corporate-owned restaurants of the two following brands:

BurgerFi. BurgerFi is a fast-casual “better burger” concept with 124 franchised and corporate-owned restaurants as of March 31, 2022, 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 that operates 61 corporate-owned casual restaurant locations, as of March 31, 2022. 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.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 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 consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).

The Company operates on a calendar year-end. Anthony's uses a 52-week or 53-week fiscal year-end and its fiscal year ends on the Monday closest to December 31. Differences arising from the different fiscal year-ends were not deemed material for the period ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.

Reclassifications

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

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.
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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Corporate-owned stores and Franchised stores

BurgerFi has prepared its Franchise Disclosure Document as required by the United States Federal Trade Commission and has registered or will register in those states where required in order to legally sell its franchises. It is currently BurgerFi’s plan to offer franchises for sale in those states where demographics of the population represent a demand for the services. BurgerFi grants franchises to independent operators who in turn pay an initial franchise fee, royalties and brand development fund fees, and other fees as stated in the franchise agreement. Store activity for the period ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021 are as follows:

March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021
Corporate-owned Franchised Total Corporate-owned Franchised Total

Net Loss per Common 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) 1,943,675 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.

Reconciliation of Net Loss per Common Share

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

(in thousands, except for per share data) Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
Net loss attributable to common shareholders $ (13,560) $ (8,210)
Weighted-average shares outstanding, basic and diluted 21,962,165  17,814,336 
Basic and diluted net loss per common share $ (0.62) $ (0.46)
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no dilutive warrants. Excluded from the weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are share equivalents of 3,004,030 and Unit Purchase Option ("UPO") units of 37,687, respectively, as the effect of these on the computation of net loss per share would have been anti-dilutive.

New Accounting Standards Adopted

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months and disclose certain information about the leasing arrangements. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the new guidance, which includes allowing the Company to continue utilizing historical classification of leases. The Company adopted the requirements of the new standard as of the first day of fiscal year 2022 using the modified retrospective approach without restating comparative periods.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 Business Combinations ("Topic 805") to provide guidance that requires entities to recognize contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. As a public company, this standard will be effective for our fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years and will be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (“Topic 848”) to provide optional guidance for a limited period of time, from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022, to ease the burden of financial reporting due to reference rate reform. An entity can elect to utilize the guidance at any time during the period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
