TABLE OF CONTENTS
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q") contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("PSLRA"), which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause actual results to be materially different. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Many of the forward-looking statements are located in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Forward-looking statements discuss our current expectations and projections relating to our financial position, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as "aim," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "outlook," "potential," "project," "projection," "plan," "intend," "seek," "may," "could," "would," "will," "should," "can," "can have," "likely," the negatives thereof and other similar expressions.
While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q in the context of the risks and uncertainties disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2018 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the heading "Risk Factors."
The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Shake Shack Inc.
Form 10-Q | 9
NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS Shake Shack Inc. ("we," "us," "our," "Shake Shack" and the "Company") was formed on September 23, 2014 as a Delaware corporation for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering and other related transactions in order to carry on the business of SSE Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries ("SSE Holdings"). We are the sole managing member of SSE Holdings and, as sole managing member, we operate and control all of the business and affairs of SSE Holdings. As a result, we consolidate the financial results of SSE Holdings and report a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in SSE Holdings held by the other members of SSE Holdings. As of September 25, 2019 we owned 89.8% of SSE Holdings. Unless the context otherwise requires, "we," "us," "our," "Shake Shack," the "Company" and other similar references, refer to Shake Shack Inc. and, unless otherwise stated, all of its subsidiaries, including SSE Holdings.
We operate and license Shake Shack restaurants ("Shacks"), which serve hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, crinkle-cut fries, shakes, frozen custard, beer, wine and more. As of September 25, 2019, there were 254 Shacks in operation, system-wide, of which 151 were domestic company-operated Shacks,17 were domestic licensed Shacks and 86 were international licensed Shacks.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shake Shack Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and on a basis consistent in all material respects with the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2018 ("2018 Form 10-K"). In our opinion, all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operation have been included. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 26, 2018 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our 2018 Form 10-K.
SSE Holdings is considered a variable interest entity. Shake Shack Inc. is the primary beneficiary as we have the majority economic interest in SSE Holdings and, as the sole managing member, have decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of the entity, while the limited partners have no substantive kick-out or participating rights. As a result, we consolidate SSE Holdings. The assets and liabilities of SSE Holdings represent substantially all of our consolidated assets and liabilities with the exception of certain deferred taxes and liabilities under the Tax Receivable Agreement. As of September 25, 2019 and December 26, 2018, the net assets of SSE Holdings were $272,947 and $232,711, respectively. The assets of SSE Holdings are subject to certain restrictions in SSE Holdings' revolving credit agreement. See Note 8 for more information.
Fiscal Year
We operate on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the last Wednesday in December. Fiscal 2019 contains 52 weeks and ends on December 25, 2019. Fiscal 2018 contained 52 weeks and ended on December 26, 2018. Unless otherwise stated, references to years in this report relate to fiscal years.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Leases
(ASU's 2016-02, 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11) | This standard establishes a new lease accounting model, which introduces the recognition of lease assets and liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. It was applied using a modified retrospective approach applied at the adoption date with the election of various practical expedients.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue consists of Shack sales and licensing revenue. Generally, revenue is recognized as promised goods or services transfer to the guest or customer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Revenue from Shack sales is presented net of discounts and recognized when food, beverage and retail products are sold. Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from Shack sales and the obligation is included in sales tax payable until the taxes are remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities. Revenue from our gift cards is deferred and recognized upon redemption.
Licensing revenues include initial territory fees, Shack opening fees, and ongoing sales-based royalty fees from licensed Shacks. Generally, the licenses granted to develop, open and operate each Shack in a specified territory are the predominant goods or services transferred to the licensee in our contracts, and represent distinct performance obligations. Ancillary promised services, such as training and assistance during the initial opening of a Shack, are typically combined with the licenses and considered as one performance obligation per Shack. We determine the transaction price for each contract, which is comprised of the initial territory fee, and an estimate of the total Shack opening fees we expect to be entitled to. The calculation of total Shack opening fees included in the transaction price requires judgment, as it is based on an estimate of the number of Shacks we expect the licensee to open. The transaction price is then allocated equally to each Shack expected to open. The performance obligations are satisfied over time, starting when a Shack opens, through the end of the term of the license granted to the Shack. Because we are transferring licenses to access our intellectual property during a contractual term, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the license term. Generally, payment for the initial territory fee is received upon execution of the licensing agreement, and payment for the restaurant opening fees are received either in advance of or upon opening the related restaurant. These payments are initially deferred and recognized as revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied, which occurs over a long-term period.
Revenue from sales-based royalties is recognized as the related sales occur.

The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of September 25, 2019 is $16,573. We expect to recognize this amount as revenue over a long-term period, as the license term for each Shack ranges from 5 to 20 years. This amount excludes any variable consideration related to sales-based royalties.

In August 2019, we terminated our previous revolving credit facility and entered into a new revolving credit facility pursuant to a Credit Agreement. Our Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of $50,000, of which the entire commitment is available immediately, with the ability to increase available borrowings up to an additional $100,000, to be made available subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. The Credit Agreement will mature and all amounts outstanding will be due and payable in August 2024 and permits the issuance of letters of credit upon our request of up to $15,000. Borrowings under the facility will bear interest at either: (i) LIBOR plus a percentage ranging from 1.0% to 1.5% or (ii) the base rate plus a percentage ranging from 0.0% to 0.5%, in each case depending on our net lease adjusted leverage ratio. To the extent the LIBOR reference rate is no longer available, the administrative agent, in consultation with us, will determine a replacement rate which will be generally in accordance with similar transactions in which it serves as administrative agent.
As of September 25, 2019, no amounts were outstanding under the revolving credit facility. As of December 26, 2018, no amounts were outstanding under the previous facility.
The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of SSE Holdings and the guarantors. The obligations under the Credit Agreement were guaranteed by each of SSE Holdings' direct and indirect subsidiaries (with certain exceptions).
The Credit Agreement requires us to comply with maximum net lease adjusted leverage and minimum fixed charge coverage ratios. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants, including those which (subject to certain exceptions and dollar thresholds) limit our ability to incur debt; incur liens; make investments; engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations or acquisitions; dispose of assets; make distributions on or repurchase equity securities; engage in transactions with affiliates; and prohibits us, with certain exceptions, from engaging in any line of business not related to our current line of business. As of September 25, 2019 we were in compliance with all covenants.
As of December 26, 2018 we had deemed landlord financing liabilities of $20,846, for certain leases where we were involved in the construction of leased assets and were considered the accounting owner of the construction project. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) on December 27, 2018, we were no longer considered to be the accounting owner of these construction projects and had no deemed landlord financing liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 25, 2019. As of September 25, 2019 we had $342,602 of operating lease liabilities and $5,106 of finance lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, refer to Note 9 Leases for further details.
Total interest costs incurred were $133 and $302 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019, respectively and $633 and $1,897 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended and September 26, 2018, respectively. Total amounts capitalized into property and equipment were $41 and $127 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2018, respectively. No amounts were capitalized into property and equipment for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019.
Effect of Standard Adoption
On December 27, 2018 we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), using a modified retrospective approach. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 ("ASC 842") which, among other items, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classifications. As such, we applied the modified retrospective approach as of the adoption date to those lease contracts for which we have taken possession of the property as of December 26, 2018. As part of the transition, we derecognized all landlord funded assets and deemed landlord financing liabilities as of December 26, 2018 and determined the classification as either operating or finance leases.

Form 10-Q
In addition to the aforementioned practical expedient, we have also elected to:
| |
▪ | Adopt the short-term lease exception for leases with terms of twelve months or less and account for them as if they were operating leases under ASC 840; and |
| |
▪ | Apply the practical expedient of combining lease and non-lease components. |
Results for reporting periods beginning on or after December 27, 2018 are presented under ASC 842. Prior period amounts were not revised and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC Topic 840 ("ASC 840"), the accounting standard then in effect.
Upon transition, on December 27, 2018, we recorded the following increases (decreases) to the respective line items on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet:

Nature of Leases
We lease all of our domestic company-operated Shacks, our Home Office and certain equipment under various non-cancelable lease agreements that expire on various dates through 2035. We evaluate contracts entered into to determine whether the contract involves the use of property or equipment, which is either explicitly or implicitly identified in the contract. We evaluate whether we control the use of the asset, which is determined by assessing whether we obtain substantially all economic benefits from the use of the asset, and whether we have the right to direct the use of the asset. If these criteria are met and we have identified a lease, we account for the contract under the requirements of ASC 842.
Upon the possession of a leased asset, we determine its classification as an operating or finance lease. Most of our real estate leases are classified as operating leases and most of our equipment leases are classified as finance leases. Generally, our real estate leases have initial terms ranging from 10 to 15 years and typically include two five-year renewal options. Renewal options are generally not recognized as part of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as it is not reasonably certain at commencement date that we would exercise the options to extend the lease. Our real estate leases typically provide for fixed minimum rent payments and/or contingent rent payments based upon sales in excess of specified thresholds. When the achievement of such sales thresholds are deemed to be probable, contingent rent is accrued in proportion to the sales recognized during the period. For operating leases that include rent holidays and rent escalation clauses, we recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term from the date we take possession of the leased property. Lease expense incurred before a Shack opens is recorded in pre-opening costs. Once a domestic company-operated Shack opens, we record the straight-line lease expense and any contingent rent, if applicable, in occupancy and related expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Many of our leases also require us to pay real estate taxes, common area maintenance costs and other occupancy costs which are included in occupancy and related expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
As there were no explicit rates provided in our leases, we used our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of future lease payments. The discount rate used to measure the lease liability at the transition date was derived from the average of the yield curves obtained from using the notching method and the recovery rate method. The most significant assumption in calculating the incremental borrowing rate is our credit rating and subject to judgment. We determined our credit rating based on a comparison
Shake Shack Inc.
Form 10-Q | 17
of the financial information of SSE Holdings to 800 other public companies and then used their respective credit ratings to develop our own.
We expend cash for leasehold improvements to build out and equip our leased premises. Generally, a portion of the leasehold improvements and building costs are reimbursed by our landlords as landlord incentives pursuant to agreed-upon terms in our lease agreements. If obtained, landlord incentives usually take the form of cash, full or partial credits against our future minimum or contingent rents otherwise payable by us, or a combination thereof. In most cases, landlord incentives are received after we take possession of the property, as we meet required milestones during the construction of the property. We include these amounts in the measurement of the initial operating lease liability, which are also reflected as a reduction to the initial measurement of the right-of-use asset.

NOTE 10: NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS We are the sole managing member of SSE Holdings and, as a result, consolidate the financial results of SSE Holdings. We report a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in SSE Holdings held by the other members of SSE Holdings. The Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, as further amended, (the "LLC Agreement") of SSE Holdings
Shake Shack Inc.
Form 10-Q | 19
provides that holders of LLC Interests may, from time to time, require SSE Holdings to redeem all or a portion of their LLC Interests for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. In connection with any redemption or exchange, we will receive a corresponding number of LLC Interests, increasing our total ownership interest in SSE Holdings. Changes in our ownership interest in SSE Holdings while we retain our controlling interest in SSE Holdings will be accounted for as equity transactions. As such, future redemptions or direct exchanges of LLC Interests in SSE Holdings by the other members of SSE Holdings will result in a change in ownership and reduce the amount recorded as non-controlling interest and increase additional paid-in capital.
The following table summarizes the ownership interest in SSE Holdings as of September 25, 2019 and December 26, 2018.

Shake Shack Inc.
Form 10-Q | 21
We are the sole managing member of SSE Holdings and, as a result, consolidate the financial results of SSE Holdings. SSE Holdings is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, SSE Holdings is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by SSE Holdings is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including us, on a pro rata basis. We are subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income or loss of SSE Holdings, as well as any stand-alone income or loss generated by Shake Shack Inc. We are also subject to withholding taxes in foreign jurisdictions.
Income Tax Expense
A reconciliation of income tax expense computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the recognized income tax expense is as follows:

Our effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended September 25, 2019 and September 26, 2018 were (38.0)% and 24.4%, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by higher foreign tax credits, an increase of windfall tax benefits in equity-based compensation and a decrease in valuation allowance, partially offset by an increase in our ownership interest in SSE Holdings, which increases our share of the taxable income of SSE Holdings. Our weighted-average ownership interest in SSE Holdings was 85.6% and 78.2% for the thirteen weeks ended September 25, 2019 and September 26, 2018, respectively.
Our effective income tax rates for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019 and September 26, 2018 were (0.2)% and 20.2%, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by higher foreign tax credits, an increase of windfall tax benefits in equity-based compensation and a decrease in valuation allowance, partially offset by the tax effect of a change in tax basis relating to the adoption of ASC 842 on December 27, 2018 and an increase in our ownership interest in SSE Holdings, which increases our share of the taxable income of SSE Holdings. Our weighted-average ownership interest in SSE Holdings was 82.1% and 75.6% for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019 and September 26, 2018, respectively.
Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
During the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019, we acquired an aggregate of 4,131,117 LLC Interests in connection with the redemption of LLC Interests, and activity relating to our stock compensation plan and the GTC merger, which represented 2,690,263 of the total LLC Interests acquired (refer to Note 10 for further details). We recognized a deferred tax asset in the amount of $16,319 associated with the basis difference in our investment in SSE Holdings upon acquisition of these LLC Interests. As of September 25, 2019, the total deferred tax asset related to the basis difference in our investment in SSE Holdings was $181,620. However, a portion of the total basis difference will only reverse upon the eventual sale of our interest in SSE Holdings, which we expect would result in a capital loss. As of September 25, 2019, the total valuation allowance established against the deferred tax asset to which this portion relates was $763.
22 | Shake Shack Inc.
Form 10-Q
During the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019, we also recognized $5,624 of deferred tax assets related to additional tax basis increases generated from expected future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and related deductions for imputed interest on such payments. See "—Tax Receivable Agreement" for more information.
We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establish valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized. As of September 25, 2019, we concluded, based on the weight of all available positive and negative evidence, that all of our deferred tax assets (except for those deferred tax assets described above relating to basis differences that are expected to result in a capital loss upon the eventual sale of our interest in SSE Holdings) are more likely than not to be realized. As such, no additional valuation allowance was recognized.
Uncertain Tax Positions
No uncertain tax positions existed as of September 25, 2019. Shake Shack Inc. was formed in September 2014 and did not engage in any operations prior to our initial public offering in February of 2015 and related organizational transactions. Shake Shack Inc. first filed tax returns for tax year 2014, which is the first tax year subject to examination by taxing authorities for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. Additionally, although SSE Holdings is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income taxes purposes, it is still required to file an annual U.S. Return of Partnership Income, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). The statute of limitations has expired for tax years through 2015 for SSE Holdings.
Tax Receivable Agreement
Pursuant to our election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), we expect to obtain an increase in our share of the tax basis in the net assets of SSE Holdings when LLC Interests are redeemed or exchanged by the other members of SSE Holdings. We plan to make an election under Section 754 of the Code for each taxable year in which a redemption or exchange of LLC Interest occurs. We intend to treat any redemptions and exchanges of LLC Interests as direct purchases of LLC Interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts that we would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities. They may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.
On February 4, 2015, we entered into a tax receivable agreement with certain of the then-existing members of SSE Holdings (the "Tax Receivable Agreement") that provides for the payment by us of 85% of the amount of any tax benefits that we actually realize, or in some cases are deemed to realize, as a result of (i) increases in our share of the tax basis in the net assets of SSE Holdings resulting from any redemptions or exchanges of LLC Interests, (ii) tax basis increases attributable to payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and (iii) deductions attributable to imputed interest pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement (the "TRA Payments"). We expect to benefit from the remaining 15% of any tax benefits that we may actually realize. The TRA Payments are not conditioned upon any continued ownership interest in SSE Holdings or us. The rights of each member of SSE Holdings, that is a party to the Tax Receivable Agreement, are assignable to transferees of their respective LLC Interests.
During the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019, we acquired an aggregate of 1,057,737 LLC Interests in connection with the redemption of LLC Interests, which resulted in an increase in the tax basis of our investment in SSE Holdings subject to the provisions of the Tax Receivable Agreement. We recognized an additional liability in the amount of $20,027 for the TRA Payments due to the redeeming members, representing 85% of the aggregate tax benefits we expect to realize from the tax basis increases related to the redemption of LLC Interests, after concluding it was probable that such TRA Payments would be paid based on our estimates of future taxable income. During the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019, payments of $707, inclusive of interest, were made to the members of SSE Holdings pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement. No payments were made to the members of SSE Holdings pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2018. As of September 25, 2019, the total amount of TRA Payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement, was $223,112, of which $5,177 was included in other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 15 for more information relating to our liabilities under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

NOTE 15: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Lease Commitments
We are obligated under various operating leases for Shacks and our home office space, expiring in various years through 2035. Under certain of these leases, we are liable for contingent rent based on a percentage of sales in excess of specified thresholds and are typically responsible for our proportionate share of real estate taxes, common area maintenance charges and utilities. See Note 9, Leases.
As security under the terms of one of our leases, we are obligated under a letter of credit totaling $130 as of September 25, 2019, which expires in February 2026. Additionally, in September 2017, we entered into a letter of credit in conjunction with our new Home Office lease in the amount of $603, which expires in August 2020 and renews automatically for one-year periods through January 31, 2034.
Purchase Commitments
Purchase obligations include legally binding contracts, including commitments for the purchase, construction or remodeling of real estate and facilities, firm minimum commitments for inventory purchases, equipment purchases, marketing-related contracts, software acquisition/license commitments and service contracts. These obligations are generally short-term in nature and are recorded as liabilities when the related goods are received or services rendered. We also enter into long-term, exclusive contracts with certain vendors to supply us with food, beverages and paper goods, obligating us to purchase specified quantities.
Legal Contingencies
In February 2018, a claim was filed against Shake Shack in California state court alleging certain violations of the California Labor Code. At a mediation between the parties, we agreed to settle the matter with the plaintiff and all other California employees who
Shake Shack Inc.
Form 10-Q | 25
elect to participate in the settlement for $1,200. As of September 25, 2019, an accrual in the amount of $1,200 was recorded for this matter and related expenses.
We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims and liabilities, such as employment-related claims and slip and fall cases, which arise in the ordinary course of business and are generally covered by insurance. As of September 25, 2019, the amount of the ultimate liability with respect to these matters was not material.
Liabilities under Tax Receivable Agreement
As described in Note 12, we are a party to the Tax Receivable Agreement under which we are contractually committed to pay certain of the members of SSE Holdings 85% of the amount of any tax benefits that we actually realize, or in some cases are deemed to realize, as a result of certain transactions. We are not obligated to make any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement until the tax benefits associated with the transactions that gave rise to the payments are realized. Amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement are contingent upon, among other things, (i) generation of future taxable income over the term of the Tax Receivable Agreement and (ii) future changes in tax laws. If we do not generate sufficient taxable income in the aggregate over the term of the Tax Receivable Agreement to utilize the tax benefits, then we would not be required to make the related TRA Payments. During the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019 and September 26, 2018, we recognized liabilities totaling $20,027 and $42,641, respectively, relating to our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, after concluding that it was probable that we would have sufficient future taxable income over the term of the Tax Receivable Agreement to utilize the related tax benefits. As of September 25, 2019 and December 26, 2018, our total obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement were $223,112 and $203,725, respectively. There were no transactions subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement for which we did not recognize the related liability, as we concluded that we would have sufficient future taxable income to utilize all of the related tax benefits.

Meyer 2012 Gift Trust dtd 10/31/12 (the "Gift Trust"), other affiliates (collectively, the "Meyer Stockholders") and other parties thereto, the Meyer Stockholders had the right to cause all of the shares of Gramercy Tavern Corp. ("GTC") to be exchanged for shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to a tax-free reorganization. In August 2019, the Meyer Stockholders exercised their right with respect to GTC (the "GTC Merger"). To effect the GTC Merger, a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Shake Shack Inc. merged with and into GTC, with GTC as the surviving entity, which was then merged with and into Shake Shack Inc. The stockholders of GTC received on a one-for-one basis shares of Class A common stock based upon the amount of shares of GTC held by the stockholders; all of the shares of Class B common stock held by GTC were cancelled; and all of the LLC Interests held by GTC were transferred to us. See Note 10 for more information.

Shake Shack is a modern day "roadside" burger stand serving a classic American menu of premium burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, crinkle cut fries, shakes, frozen custard, beer and wine. As of September 25, 2019, there were 254 Shacks in operation system-wide, of which 151 were domestic company-operated Shacks, 17 were domestic licensed Shacks and 86 were international licensed Shacks.
Development Highlights
During the quarter endied September 25, 2019, we opened 11 domestic company-operated Shacks, including our launch in the new markets of Louisiana, Kansas and Utah, as well as further expanding in New Jersey, Michigan, Florida and Texas. Additionally, we opened six net international licensed Shacks, which included our first Shack in Mexico City, our third Shack in Osaka, Japan, and our first in Busan, the second largest city in South Korea.
Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter 2019 compared to the Third Quarter 2018:
| |
▪ | Total revenue increased 31.9% to $157.8 million. |
| |
▪ | Shack sales increased 31.5% to $152.4 million. |
| |
▪ | Same-Shack sales increased 2.0%. |
| |
▪ | Licensed revenue increased 43.3% to $5.4 million. |
| |
▪ | Shack system-wide sales increased 35.0% to $239.1 million. |
| |
▪ | Operating income was $8.2 million, or 5.2% of total revenue, which included the impact of costs associated with our enterprise-wide system upgrade implementation, Project Concrete, and other one-time items totaling $1.4 million, resulting in a decrease of 12.6%. |
| |
▪ | Shack-level operating profit*, a non-GAAP measure, increased 17.4% to $35.1 million, or 23.1% of Shack sales. |
| |
▪ | Net income was $11.4 million and adjusted EBITDA*, a non-GAAP measure, increased 9.1% to $23.3 million. |
| |
▪ | Net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. was $10.3 million and adjusted pro forma net income*, a non-GAAP measure, increased $2.2 million to $10.0 million million, or $0.26 per fully exchanged and diluted share. |
| |
▪ | Seventeen system-wide Shack openings, comprised of 11 domestic company-operated Shacks and six net licensed Shacks. |
* Shack-level operating profit, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted pro forma net income are non-GAAP measures. See "—Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for reconciliations of Shack-level operating profit to operating income, adjusted EBITDA to net income, and adjusted pro forma net income to net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc., the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
We continued to execute our strategic growth plan in 2019 and the third quarter was positively impacted by the incremental sales from the 44 new domestic company-operated Shacks opened between September 26, 2018 and September 25, 2019, as well as an increase in same-Shack sales, partially offset by:
Shake Shack Inc.
Form 10-Q | 29
| |
• | Increases in food and paper costs driven by (i) higher food costs associated with Chick'n Bites since its nationwide roll-out at the beginning of the year; (ii) some slight commodity inflation with dairy and beef; and (iii) an increase in paper costs, as a direct result of digital sales mix, which comes with additional packaging. |
| |
• | Increases in labor and related expenses driven by inflation and availability of labor across the country and regulatory factors, such as the Fair Workweek legislation, as well as higher labor costs from newly opened Shacks, which typically open with higher staffing costs. |
| |
• | Other operating expense increases attributed to increased Shack-level marketing activity, investment in in-Shack technology costs and repair and maintenance expenses. |
| |
• | Increases in occupancy and related expenses driven by the adoption of the new lease accounting standard that went into effect at the beginning of this fiscal year. |
Net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. was $10.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $5.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the same period last year. On an adjusted pro forma basis*, which excludes certain non-recurring and other items and also assumes that all outstanding LLC Interests were exchanged for shares of Class A common stock as of the beginning of the period, we would have recognized net income of $10.0 million, or $0.26 per fully exchanged and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2019 compared to $7.9 million, or $0.21 per fully exchanged and diluted share for the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $2.2 million.
These forward-looking projections are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause actual results to be materially different. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2018 under the heading “Risk Factors.” These forward-looking projections should be reviewed in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the section titled “Trends in Our Business” which forms the basis of our assumptions used to prepare these forward-looking projections. You should not attribute undue certainty to these projections and we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking information, except as required by law.

For the fiscal year ending December 25, 2019, we have revised our financial outlook to the following with changes from the previous outlook in bold:
|
| | | |
| Current Outlook | | Previous Outlook |
Total revenue (inclusive of licensing revenue) | $592 million to $597 million | | $585 million to $590 million |
Licensing revenue | $18.0 million to $18.5 million | | $16 million to $17 million |
Same-Shack sales growth (%)(1) | approximately 1.5% | | approximately 2% |
Domestic company-operated Shack openings | 38 to 40 | | 38 to 40 |
Licensed Shack openings, net | 24 to 28 | | 18 to 20 |
Average annual sales volume for domestic company-operated Shacks | approximately $4.1 million | | $4.0 million to $4.1 million |
Shack-level operating profit margin (%)(2)(3) | 22.0% to 22.5% | | approximately 23.0% |
Total general and administrative expenses | $67 million to $68 million | | $66.4 million to $68.2 million |
Core general and administrative | $57.5 million to $58.5 million | | $56 million to $57 million |
Equity-based compensation | approximately $7.5 million | | $7.4 million to $7.7 million |
Costs related to Project Concrete | approximately $2 million | | $3.0 million to $3.5 million |
Project Concrete capitalized costs | $5.5 million to $6.0 million | | $4.5 million to $5.0 million |
Depreciation expense | $41 million to $42 million | | $41 million to $42 million |
Pre-opening costs | $13 million to $14 million | | $13 million to $14 million |
Interest expense | $0.45 million to $0.5 million | | $0.3 million to $0.4 million |
Adjusted pro forma effective tax rate (%)(4) | 26.5% to 27.5% | | 26.5% to 27.5% |
| |
(1) | Includes approximately 1.5% of menu price increases taken in December 2018. |
(2) Includes approximately 50 bps of impact from the adoption of the new lease accounting standard.
| |
(3) | Shack-level operating profit margin is a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, operating income, has not been provided as we cannot project certain reconciling items, such as gains or losses on disposal of property and equipment, without unreasonable effort given the uncertainty around the timing and amount of such gains or losses. Losses on disposal of property and equipment were less than $1 million for each of the fiscal years 2018, 2017 and 2016. |
| |
(4) | Adjusted pro forma effective tax rate is a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, income tax expense, has not been provided as we cannot project income tax expense without unreasonable effort due to our inability to predict changes in our ownership interest in SSE Holdings resulting from redemptions of LLC Interests by non-controlling interest holders and equity-based award activity. Income tax expense for fiscal years 2018, 2017 and 2016 was $8.9 million, $151.4 million and $6.4 million, respectively. |
FISCAL 2020 PRELIMINARY OUTLOOK For the fiscal year ending December 30, 2020, we are providing the following preliminary outlook:
| |
• | Between 40 and 42 new domestic company operated Shacks to be opened in fiscal 2020. |
| |
• | Between 20 and 25, net new licensed Shacks to be opened in fiscal 2020. |

Shack Sales
Shack sales represent the aggregate sales of food, beverages and Shake Shack branded merchandise at our domestic company-operated Shacks. Shack sales in any period are directly influenced by the number of operating weeks in such period, the number of open Shacks and same-Shack sales. Same-Shack sales means, for any reporting period, sales for the comparable Shack base, which we define as the number of domestic company-operated Shacks open for 24 months or longer.

Form 10-Q
The growth in Shack sales for the thirteen weeks ended September 25, 2019 was primarily driven by the opening of 44 new domestic company-operated Shacks between September 26, 2018 and September 25, 2019. Same-Shack sales increased $1.8 million, or 2.0%. The increase in same-Shack sales, consisted of a 1.2% increase in guest traffic and a combined increase of 0.8% in price and sales mix. Our digital channels continued to be a key contributor to our increase in same-Shack sales, which was partially offset by a lower average item per check, caused primarily by the strength of our limited-time shake offering in the prior year quarter, and our decision to limit certain menu items on delivery channels as we worked to streamline the guest experience. For purposes of calculating same-Shack sales growth, Shack sales for 79 Shacks were included in the comparable Shack base.
The increase in Shack sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019 was primarily due to the opening of 44 new domestic company-operated Shacks between September 26, 2018 and September 25, 2019. Same-Shack sales increased $7.5 million, or 3.0%. The increase in same-Shack sales, consisted of a 1.3% increase in guest traffic and a combined increase of 1.7% in price and sales mix. For purposes of calculating same-Shack sales growth, Shack sales for 79 Shacks were included in the comparable Shack base.
Licensing Revenue
Licensing revenue is comprised of license fees, opening fees for certain licensed Shacks and territory fees. License fees are calculated as a percentage of sales and territory fees are payments for the exclusive right to develop Shacks in a specific geographic area.

The increases in licensing revenue for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019 were primarily driven by 22 net new licensed Shacks opened between September 26, 2018 and September 25, 2019 and the strong performance of Shacks that opened in new markets earlier this year.
Food and Paper Costs
Food and paper costs include the direct costs associated with food, beverage and packaging of our menu items. The components of food and paper costs are variable by nature,changing with sales volume, and are impacted by menu mix and fluctuations in commodity costs, as well as geographic scale and proximity.

Labor and Related Expenses
Labor and related expenses include domestic company-operated Shack-level hourly and management wages, bonuses, payroll taxes, equity-based compensation, workers' compensation expense and medical benefits. As we expect with other variable expense items, we expect labor costs to grow as our Shack sales grow. Factors that influence labor costs include minimum wage and payroll tax legislation, health care costs, size and location of the Shack and the performance of our domestic company-operated Shacks.

The increase for thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019 was due to the aforementioned new lease accounting standard adoption impact, as well as a benefit recognized in the prior year quarter for deferred rent related to certain historical leases with co-tenancy provisions.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist of costs associated with corporate and administrative functions that support Shack development and operations, as well as equity-based compensation expense.

The increases in general and administrative expenses for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019 were primarily driven by our significant growth to date, paired with ongoing investment for future growth. In addition, we set up our first international office in Hong Kong to support our licensed business in Asia. We also incurred costs of $1.4 million and $2.4 million related to Project Concrete and other one-time costs for the thirteen weeks ended September 25, 2019 and thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019, respectively.
As a percentage of total revenue, the decreases in general and administrative expenses for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019 were primarily due to increased levels of total revenue.

Shake Shack Inc.
Form 10-Q | 35
As a percentage of total revenue, the increases in depreciation expense for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019 were primarily due to the entry of Shacks at various volumes into the system.
Pre-Opening Costs
Pre-opening costs consist primarily of legal fees, rent, managers' salaries, training costs, employee payroll and related expenses, costs to relocate and compensate Shack management teams prior to an opening and wages, travel and lodging costs for our opening training team and other supporting team members. All such costs incurred prior to the opening of a domestic company-operated Shack are expensed in the period in which the expense was incurred. Pre-opening costs can fluctuate significantly from period to period, based on the number and timing of domestic company-operated Shack openings and the specific pre-opening costs incurred for each domestic company-operated Shack. Additionally, domestic company-operated Shack openings in new geographic market areas may initially experience higher pre-opening costs than our established geographic market areas, such as the New York City metropolitan area, where we have greater economies of scale and incur lower travel and lodging costs for our training team.

Income Tax Expense
We are the sole managing member of SSE Holdings, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, SSE Holdings is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by SSE Holdings is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including us, on a pro rata basis. We are subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income or loss generated by SSE Holdings.

Our effective income tax rate decreased to (38.0)% from 24.4% for the thirteen weeks ended September 25, 2019 and September 26, 2018, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense and effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended September 25, 2019 was primarily driven by higher foreign tax credits, an increase of windfall tax benefits in equity-based compensation and a decrease in valuation allowance, partially offset by an increase in our ownership interest in SSE Holdings. As our ownership interest in SSE Holdings increases, our share of the taxable income of SSE Holdings also increases. Our weighted-average ownership interest in SSE Holdings increased to 85.6% from 78.2% for the thirteen weeks ended September 25, 2019 and September 26, 2018, respectively.
Our effective income tax rate decreased to (0.2)% from 20.2% for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019 and September 26, 2018, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense and effective tax rate for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019 was primarily driven by higher foreign tax credits, an increase of windfall tax benefits in equity-based compensation and a decrease in valuation allowance, partially offset by the tax effect of a change in tax basis relating to the adoption of ASC 842 on December 27, 2018 and an increase in our ownership interest in SSE Holdings. As our ownership interest in SSE Holdings increases, our share of the taxable income of SSE Holdings also increases. Our weighted-average ownership interest in SSE Holdings increased to 82.1% from 75.6% for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019 and September 26, 2018, respectively.

Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests
We are the sole managing member of SSE Holdings and have the sole voting power in, and control the management of, SSE Holdings. Accordingly, we consolidate the financial results of SSE Holdings and report a non-controlling interest on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, representing the portion of net income attributable to the other members of SSE Holdings. The Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of SSE Holdings provides that holders of LLC Interests may, from time to time, require SSE Holdings to redeem all or a portion of their LLC Interests for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. In connection with any redemption or exchange, we will receive a corresponding number of LLC Interests, increasing our total ownership interest in SSE Holdings. The weighted average ownership percentages for the applicable reporting periods are used to attribute net income and other comprehensive income to Shake Shack Inc. and the non-controlling interest holders.

The decreases in net income attributable to non-controlling interests for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019 were primarily driven by the decrease in the non-controlling interest holders' weighted average ownership, which was 14.4% and 21.8% for the thirteen weeks ended September 25, 2019 and September 26, 2018, respectively, and 17.9% and 24.4% for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019 and September 26, 2018, respectively.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES To supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Shack-level operating profit, Shack-level operating profit margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share (collectively the "non-GAAP financial measures").
Shack-Level Operating Profit
Shack-level operating profit is defined as Shack sales less Shack-level operating expenses including food and paper costs, labor and related expenses, other operating expenses and occupancy and related expenses.
How This Measure Is Useful
When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, Shack-level operating profit and Shack-level operating profit margin are supplemental measures of operating performance that we believe are useful measures to evaluate the performance and profitability of our Shacks. Additionally, Shack-level operating profit and Shack-level operating profit margin are key metrics used internally by our management to develop internal budgets and forecasts, as well as assess the performance of our Shacks relative to budget and against prior periods. It is also used to evaluate employee compensation as it serves as a metric in certain of our performance-based employee bonus arrangements. We believe presentation of Shack-level operating profit and Shack-level operating profit margin provides investors with a supplemental view of our operating performance that can provide meaningful insights to the underlying operating performance of our Shacks, as these measures depict the operating results that are directly impacted by our Shacks and exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, the ongoing operations of our Shacks. It may also assist investors to evaluate our performance relative to peers of various sizes and maturities and provides greater transparency with respect to how our management evaluates our business, as well as our financial and operational decision-making.
Limitations of the Usefulness of this Measure
Shack-level operating profit and Shack-level operating profit margin may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of Shack-level operating profit and Shack-level operating profit margin is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Shack-level operating profit excludes certain costs, such as general and administrative expenses and pre-opening costs, which are considered normal, recurring cash operating expenses and are essential to support the operation and development of our Shacks. Therefore, this measure may not provide a complete understanding of the operating results of our company as a whole and Shack-level operating profit and Shack-level operating profit margin should be reviewed in conjunction with our GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of Shack-level operating profit to operating income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is as follows.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense (net of interest income), income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (as defined above) excluding equity-based compensation expense, deferred lease cost, losses on the disposal of property and equipment, amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs, as well as certain non-recurring items that we don't believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring business operations.
How These Measures Are Useful
When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that we believe are useful measures to facilitate comparisons to historical performance and competitors' operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used internally by our management to develop internal budgets and forecasts and also serves as a metric in our performance-based equity incentive programs and certain of our bonus arrangements. We believe presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provides investors with a supplemental view of our operating performance that facilitates analysis and comparisons of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
Limitations of the Usefulness of These Measures
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA exclude certain normal recurring expenses. Therefore, these measures may not provide a complete understanding of our performance and should be reviewed in conjunction with our GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is as follows.

Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income and Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings Per Fully Exchanged and Diluted Share
Adjusted pro forma net income represents net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. assuming the full exchange of all outstanding SSE Holdings, LLC membership interests ("LLC Interests") for shares of Class A common stock, adjusted for certain non-recurring items that we do not believe are directly related to our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring business operations. Adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share is calculated by dividing adjusted pro forma net income by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding LLC Interests, after giving effect to the dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based awards.
How These Measures Are Useful
When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share are supplemental measures of operating performance that we believe are useful measures to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors. By assuming the full exchange of all outstanding LLC Interests, we believe these measures facilitate comparisons with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period because it eliminates the effect of any changes in net income attributable to Shake Shack

Inc. driven by increases in our ownership of SSE Holdings, which are unrelated to our operating performance, and excludes items that are non-recurring or may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
Limitations of the Usefulness of These Measures
Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share should not be considered alternatives to net income and earnings per share, as determined under GAAP. While these measures are useful in evaluating our performance, it does not account for the earnings attributable to the non-controlling interest holders and therefore does not provide a complete understanding of the net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share should be evaluated in conjunction with our GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of adjusted pro forma net income to net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and the computation of adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share are set forth below.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand, short-term investments and availability under our revolving credit facility. As of September 25, 2019, we maintained a cash and cash equivalents balance of $44.5 million, a short-term investments balance of $36.3 million and had $50.0 million of availability under our revolving credit facility.
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 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 opening new Shacks, existing Shack capital investments (both for remodels and maintenance), as well as investments in our corporate infrastructure.
In addition, we are obligated to make payments to certain members of SSE Holdings under the Tax Receivable Agreement. As of September 25, 2019, such obligations totaled $223.1 million. Amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement are contingent upon, among other things, (i) generation of future taxable income over the term of the Tax Receivable Agreement and (ii) future changes in tax laws. If we do not generate sufficient taxable income in the aggregate over the term of the Tax Receivable Agreement to utilize the tax benefits, then we would not be required to make the related TRA Payments. Although the amount of any payments that must be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be significant, the timing of these payments will vary and will generally be limited to one payment per member per year. The amount of such payments are also limited to the extent we utilize the related deferred tax assets. The payments that we are required to make will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to us or to SSE Holdings, but we expect the cash tax savings we will realize from the utilization of the related deferred tax assets to fund the required payments.
We believe that cash provided by operating activities, cash on hand and availability under our revolving credit facility arrangement will be sufficient to fund our operating and finance lease obligations, capital expenditures, and working capital needs for at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.

Operating Activities
For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019 net cash provided by operating activities was $73.0 million compared to $62.8 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2018, an increase of $10.2 million. This increase was primarily driven by the opening of 44 new domestic company-operated Shacks, offset by spending related to our foundational infrastructure upgrades to support our ongoing growth initiatives.
Investing Activities
For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019 net cash used in investing activities was $54.9 million compared to $58.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2018, a decrease of $4.0 million. This decrease was primarily due to an
44 | Shake Shack Inc.
Form 10-Q
increase of $25.0 million of proceeds from sales of marketable securities offset by an increase of $20.8 million in capital expenditures, with the opening of 44 new domestic company-operated Shacks.
Financing Activities
For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2019 net cash used in financing activities was $1.6 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $3.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2018, a decrease of $2.3 million. This decrease is primarily due to increased payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement and distributions to our non-controlling interest holders, as well as principal payments made for financing leases, partially offset by an increase in proceeds from stock options exercises.
Revolving Credit Facility
We maintain a Credit Agreement that provides for a revolving credit facility of $50.0 million, of which the entire commitment is available immediately, with the ability to increase available borrowings up to an additional $100.0 million, to be made available subject to certain conditions. The Credit Agreement will mature and all amounts outstanding will be due and payable in August 2024 and permits the issuance of letters of credit upon our request of up to $15.0 million. Borrowings under the facility will bear interest at either: (i) LIBOR plus a percentage ranging from 1.0% to 1.5% or (ii) the base rate plus a percentage ranging from 0.0% to 0.5%, in each case depending on our net lease adjusted leverage ratio. To the extent the LIBOR reference rate is no longer available, the administrative agent, in consultation with us, will determine a replacement rate which will be generally in accordance with similar transactions in which it serves as administrative agent. We have $50.0 million of availability as of September 25, 2019.
The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of SSE Holdings and the guarantors. The obligations under the Credit Agreement were guaranteed by each of SSE Holdings' direct and indirect subsidiaries (with certain exceptions).
The Credit Agreement requires us to comply with maximum net lease adjusted leverage and minimum fixed charge coverage ratios. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants, including those which (subject to certain exceptions and dollar thresholds) limit our ability to incur debt; incur liens; make investments; engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations or acquisitions; dispose of assets; make distributions on or repurchase equity securities; engage in transactions with affiliates; and prohibits us, with certain exceptions, from engaging in any line of business not related to our current line of business. As of September 25, 2019 we were in compliance with all covenants.
There have been no material changes to the contractual obligations as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2018, other than those made in the ordinary course of business.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS There have been no other material changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2018.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES Our discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations is based upon the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions, which we believe to be reasonable, based on the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Variances in the estimates or assumptions used to actual experience could yield materially different accounting results. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the continued appropriateness of our accounting policies and resulting estimates to make adjustments we consider appropriate under the facts and circumstances. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2018, except for those made in connection with the adoption of ASC 842. See "Note 9: Leases" under Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING We completed the implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP") system during the quarter ended September 25, 2019. As a result, we modified and removed certain existing internal controls as well as implemented new controls and procedures impacted by the implementation of the new ERP system. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the operating effectiveness of the related controls during subsequent periods.

With the exception of those controls modified, removed or implemented as a result of the new ERP system, there were no other changes to our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 25, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
