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 October 2, 2023, the Company had 169 franchised and corporate-owned restaurants of the two following brands:

BurgerFi. BurgerFi is a fast-casual “better burger” concept with 110 franchised and corporate-owned restaurants as of October 2, 2023, 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 59 corporate-owned casual restaurant locations, as of October 2, 2023. 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.

Corporate-owned stores and Franchised stores

Store activity for the nine months ended October 2, 2023 and the year ended January 2, 2023 is as follows:

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) 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 exists. Please see Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial 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 2, 2023 (the “2022 Form 10-K”) and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for further information.

BurgerFi International Inc., and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Company’s credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks has approximately $52.1 million in financing outstanding as of October 2, 2023, and expires on September 30, 2025. The Credit Agreement contains numerous covenants, including those whereby the Company is required to meet certain trailing twelve-month quarterly financial ratios and a minimum liquidity requirement. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the Credit Agreement as of October 2, 2023.

Some of the financial covenants contained within the Credit Agreement require financial performance to improve at a rate faster than we have experienced and at a faster rate than we expect to experience over the next twelve months. As a result, management believes it is probable that the Company will not be in compliance with each of the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement over the next 12 months, which would constitute a breach of the Credit Agreement and an event of default if not cured in accordance with its terms. Any such default would allow the lenders to call the debt sooner than its maturity date of September 30, 2025. In the event that the lenders do call the debt during the next 12 months as the result of a covenant breach, the Company is not forecasted to have the readily available funds to repay 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.

The Company has been and continues to be in communication with its lenders about potential options to address concerns related to meeting the covenant requirements over the next 12 months. Management cannot, however, predict the results of any such negotiations.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that results from the uncertainty described above.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 3, 2023 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 2, 2023 contained in the 2022 Form 10-K.

We are required to evaluate events occurring after October 2, 2023 for recognition and disclosure in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter and nine month periods ended October 2, 2023. Events are evaluated based on whether they represent information existing as of October 2, 2023, which require recognition, or new events occurring after October 2, 2023 which do not require recognition but require disclosure if the event is significant. We evaluated events occurring subsequent to October 2, 2023 through the date of issuance of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

On July 28, 2022, our Board of Directors approved the change to a 52-53-week fiscal year ending on the Monday nearest to December 31 of each year in order to improve the alignment of financial and business processes following the acquisition of Anthony’s. Our third fiscal quarter of 2023 ended on October 2, 2023. Our current fiscal year will end on January 1, 2024. As of October 3, 2022, the BurgerFi brand operated on a calendar year-end and the Anthony’s brand operated on a 52-53-week fiscal year. Differences arising from the different fiscal period-ends were not deemed material for the quarter ended October 3, 2022.

Principles of Consolidation

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

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Reclassifications

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

Use of Estimates

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

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

Employer Retention Tax Credits

As of October 2, 2023 and January 2, 2023, the Company had $0.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of receivables related to the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Relief Act of 2020 included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Prepaid expenses

The Company routinely issues prepayments to landlords, insurers and vendors in the ordinary course of business. As of October 2, 2023 and January 2, 2023, the Company had $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively of prepayments included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Assets Held for Sale

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 assets to the unrelated third-party purchaser. Assets used in the operations of BF Dania Beach, LLC totaling $0.7 million have been classified as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of October 2, 2023 and January 2, 2023.

During the quarter ended October 2, 2023, the Company recognized $0.1 million in gain on sale of assets in other income, net on our consolidated statements of operations from the sale of a liquor license intangible asset for one of our closed Anthony’s locations with a book value of $0.8 million and classified as assets held for sale in a prior period.

Other Current Liabilities

The Company incurs liabilities associated with the sale of gift cards and gift certificates. As of October 2, 2023 and January 2, 2023, the Company had $0.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively of gift card and gift certificate liabilities included in other current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company incurs liabilities resulting from its customer loyalty program. As of October 2, 2023 and January 2, 2023, the Company had $0.9 million and $0.8 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 and (2) 75,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock in the unit purchase option, (3) 2,983,500 shares of restricted stock units outstanding in the calculation of income per share, and (4) the impact of any dividends associated with our redeemable preferred stock. As the effect of these on the computation of net loss per common share would have been anti-dilutive, they were excluded from the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

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

(in thousands, except for per share data)	Quarter Ended				Nine Months Ended
Numerator:	October 2, 2023		October 3, 2022		October 2, 2023		October 3, 2022

For the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2023 and October 3, 2022, there were no dilutive warrants.

7.    Related Party Transactions

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

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

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of January 2, 2023 reflect amounts related to periodic advances between the Company and these entities for working capital and other needs as due from related companies or due to related companies, as appropriate. There were no amounts due from related companies as of October 2, 2023 as a result of the settlement with the significant stockholder. There was approximately $0.3 million due from related parties included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of January 2, 2023.

During 2022, the Company received royalty revenue from the two operating stores that were transferred on January 23, 2023 as a result of the settlement with the significant stockholder of $0.1 million for the quarter and nine months ended October 3, 2022.

The Company leased building space for its former corporate office from an entity under common ownership with a significant stockholder. This lease had a 36-month term, effective January 1, 2020. In January 2022, the Company exercised its right to terminate this lease effective as of July 2022. For the quarter and nine months ended October 3, 2022, rent expense related to this lease was approximately $0.1 million.

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. For the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2023 rent expense was approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. For the quarter and nine months ended October 3, 2022, rent expense was approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

The Company had an independent contractor agreement with a corporation (the “Consultant”) for which the Chief Operating Officer (the “Consultant Principal”) of Lionheart Capital, LLC, an entity controlled by the Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board, serves as President. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, the Consultant provided certain strategic advisory services to the Company in exchange for total annual cash compensation and expense reimbursements of $0.1 million, payable monthly. The engagement ended in September of 2023.

On January 3, 2023, the Company awarded the Consultant Principal a $0.1 million bonus in connection with the Company’s amendment and extension of its Credit Facility and granted the Consultant Principal 38,000 unrestricted shares of common stock of the Company. The Company recorded share-based compensation associated with this grant of approximately $0.1 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2023. There was no expense included for the quarter ended October 2, 2023.

On January 3, 2022, the Company granted the Consultant Principal 37,959 unrestricted shares of common stock of the Company.

8.    Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

John Walker, Individually and On Behalf of all Other Similarly Situated v. BurgerFi International, Inc. et al (in the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida, Case No. 023-cv-60657). On April 6, 2023, John Walker, on behalf of himself and other similarly situated plaintiffs, filed a class action lawsuit against the Company and certain current and former executives alleging that the Company violated certain securities laws by making false and misleading statements or failed to disclose that (1) the Company had overstated the effectiveness of its acquisition and growth strategies, and (2) the Company had misrepresented the purported benefits of the Anthony’s acquisition and the post-acquisition business and financial prospects of the Company. On July 20, 2023, the court appointed John Walker and Joseph Poalino as co-lead plaintiffs in the matter. On September 5, 2023, an Order of Dismissal without prejudice was signed. Therefore, no contingent liability has been recorded as of October 2, 2023.

Second 82nd SM, LLC v. BF NY 82, LLC, BurgerFi International, LLC and BurgerFi International, Inc. (in the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York, having index No. 654907/2021 filed August 11, 2021). A lawsuit was filed by Second 82nd SM, LLC (“Landlord”) against BF NY 82, LLC (“Tenant”) whereby Landlord brought a 7-count lawsuit for, among other things, breach of the lease agreement and underlying guaranty of the lease. The amount of damages Landlord is seeking approximately $1.5 million, which constitutes back rent, late charges, real estate taxes, illuminated sign charges and water/sewer charges. On November 3, 2021, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint. On November 17, 2021, the Tenant filed an Answer to Landlord’s Complaint and a cross claim against the Company, which the Company answered on December 7, 2021. On December 22, 2021, the Company filed its Response in Opposition to Landlord’s Motion for Summary Judgment and Memo in further Support of its Motion to Dismiss. The Company turned over possession of the property in early 2023. On July 5, 2023, the Landlord filed a Motion of Summary Judgment seeking approximately $1.2 million in past due rent payments. On August 14, 2023, the Court entered an order granting the Landlord’s Motion for Summary Judgment and ordered a damages hearing on the motion, which has not yet been scheduled. On October 2, 2023 a settlement agreement was executed by all parties and the parties filed a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice on October 6, 2023.

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. The Company continues to believe that all claims for damages 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 has been set for April 2024. We believe that all Mr. Gargiulo claims are meritless, and the Company plans to vigorously defend these allegations. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss or range of loss, if any, which may result from the case described above, and, therefore, no contingent liability has

been recorded as of October 2, 2023; any losses, however, may be material to the Company's financial position and results of operations.

All Round Food Bakery Products, Inc. v. BurgerFi International, LLC and Neri’s Bakery Products, Inc. et al (Supreme Court Westchester County, New York (Index Number 52170-2020)). In a suit filed in February 2020, the plaintiff, All Round Food Bakery Products, Inc. (“All Round Food”) alleges breach of contract and lost profits in excess of $1.0 million over the course of the supply agreement with the Company and Neri’s Bakery Products, Inc. (“Neri’s” and together with the Company, the “Defendants”). The Defendants assert, among other matters, that the supply agreement amongst the parties, whereby All Round Food was warehousing BurgerFi products produced by Neri’s, was terminated when All Round Food failed to cure its material breach of the supply agreement after due notice. The parties attended several additional court ordered mediations during over the last several months to attempt to resolve the dispute, however, no resolution has been reached. We believe that all claims are meritless, and the Company plans to vigorously defend these allegations. The court entered an order to dismiss the case on August 15, 2023; therefore, no contingent liability has been recorded as of October 2, 2023.

Employment Related Claims.

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

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.

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 October 2, 2023, we entered into approximately $4.3 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 Company Credit Agreement, which provides the Company with lender financing structured as a $52.1 million term loan and $4.0 million available under the line of credit as of October 2, 2023, has 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 the determination of Adjusted EBTIDA, as well as modifications to certain covenants for leverage and fixed charge ratios.

The terms of the Credit Agreement require the Company to repay the principal of the term loan in quarterly installments with the balance due at the maturity date, as follows:

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 and is being amortized over the period of the Delayed Draw Term Loan. The Company recorded debt discount amortization of an immaterial amount for the quarter ended October 2, 2023 and $0.1 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2023, which is included within interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

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.

For the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 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 the quarter and nine months ended October 3, 2022, the Company's effective income tax rate was 0% and 0.6%, respectively, differing from the U.S. corporate statutory federal income tax rate of 21%, and the difference is primarily the result of the valuation allowance applied to reduce the Company’s deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

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 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.

Warrants and Options

As of October 2, 2023, 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 (“private warrants”), 445,000 in Private Warrants and 150,000 in Working Capital Warrants, and 75,000 Unit Purchase Option units that are each exercisable for (i) one share of common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 and (i) one warrant exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50. 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 $0.4 million and $0.2 million at October 2, 2023 and January 2, 2023, respectively, and is included in other non-current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities for the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2023 resulted in a gain of $0.2 million and a loss of $0.2 million, respectively, and is recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The gain on change in the fair value of warrant liabilities for the quarter and nine months ended October 3, 2022 was $0.7 million and $2.1 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 2, 2023	$	195
Loss during the period	167
Warrant liability at October 2, 2023	$	362

The fair value of the warrants are determined using the publicly-traded price of our common stock on the valuation dates of $1.14 on October 2, 2023 and $1.26 on January 2, 2023. See Note 13, “Fair Value Measurements.”

Share-Based Compensation

13.    Fair Value Measurements

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

BurgerFi International Inc., and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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

	Items Measured at Fair Value at October 2, 2023
(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	—		$	362	—
Total	$	—	$	362	$	—

	Items Measured at Fair Value at January 2, 2023
(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	—		$	195	—
Total	$	—	$	195	$	—

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 its common stock on the valuation dates of $1.14 on October 2, 2023 and $1.26 on January 2, 2023. The fair value is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires us to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend rate and service period. The calculated warrant price for private warrants was $0.10 and $0.05 on October 2, 2023 and January 2, 2023.

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

	October 2, 2023		January 2, 2023
Risk-free interest rate	4.95	%	4.14	%
Expected life in years	2.2		3.0
Expected volatility	94.5	%	68.0	%
Expected dividend yield	—	%	—	%

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

14.    Segment Information

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

The Company’s measure of segment income is Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before goodwill impairment, lease termination recovery, employee retention credits, 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,

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

net of gains, store closure costs, loss (gain) on change in value of warrant liability, pre-opening costs, (gain) loss on sale of assets and income tax expense (benefit). Although the Company had historically considered net income to be an appropriate measure of segment profit and loss, management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a more meaningful measure of the Company’s performance.

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

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

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

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

Overview

The Company is a leading multi-brand restaurant company that develops, markets and acquires fast-casual and premium-casual dining restaurant concepts around the world, including corporate-owned stores and franchises. As of October 2, 2023, we were the owner and franchisor of the two following brands:

BurgerFi. BurgerFi is a fast-casual “better burger” concept, renowned for delivering an exceptional, all-natural premium “better burger” experience in a refined, contemporary environment. BurgerFi’s chef-driven menu offerings and eco-friendly restaurant design drive our brand communication. It offers a classic American menu of premium burgers, hot dogs, crispy chicken, 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 110 BurgerFi locations, and as of October 2, 2023, was comprised of 26 corporate-owned restaurants and 84 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 and “Best Fast Food Burger” in USA Today’s 10Best 2023 Readers’ Choice Awards for its BBQ Rodeo Burger, "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 Reports’awarded BurgerFi an “A-Grade Angus Beef” rating for the third consecutive year.

Anthony’s. Anthony’s is a premium pizza and wing brand operating 59 corporate-owned casual restaurant locations, as of October 2, 2023. Anthony’s prides itself on serving fresh, never frozen, high-quality ingredients. The concept is centered around a 900-degree coal-fired oven, and its menu offers “well-done” pizza, coal-fired chicken wings, homemade meatballs, and a variety of handcrafted sandwiches and salads. The restaurants also feature a deep wine and craft beer selection to round out the menu. The pizzas are prepared using a unique coal-fired oven to quickly seal in natural flavors while creating a lightly charred crust. Anthony’s provides a differentiated offering among its casual dining peers driven by its coal-fired oven, which enables the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients with quicker ticket times.

Since its inception in 2002, the Anthony’s brand has grown to 59 corporate-owned locations, as of October 2, 2023, primarily along the East coast and has restaurants in eight states, including Florida (28), Pennsylvania (11), New Jersey (7), New York (5), Massachusetts (4), Delaware (2), Maryland (1), and Rhode Island (1).

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

Segments

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

*Included within Systemwide Restaurant Sales Growth, Systemwide Restaurant Same-Store Sales Growth, Corporate-Owned Restaurant Sales Growth and Corporate-Owned Restaurant Same-Store Sales Growth data presented above is information for Anthony's for the respective periods in 2021 which is presented only for informational purposes as Anthony's was not under common ownership until November 2021, the date of acquisition.

Systemwide Restaurant Sales

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

Corporate-Owned Restaurant Sales

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

Franchise Restaurant Sales

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

Same-Store Sales

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

Digital Channel % of Systemwide Sales

We use the measure of “Digital Channel % of Systemwide Sales” to evaluate the performance of our investments made in our digital platform and partnerships with third party delivery partners. We believe our digital platform capabilities are a vital element to continuing to serve our customers and will continue to be a differentiator for the Company as compared to some of our competitors. Digital Channel as % 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.

Food, Beverage and Paper Costs

Food, beverage, and paper costs for the quarter ended October 2, 2023 improved approximately $1.7 million or 15% as compared to the quarter ended October 3, 2022. As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, food, beverage, and paper costs were 26.7% for the quarter ended October 2, 2023 as compared to 28.9% for the quarter ended October 3, 2022. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower food costs partially offset by lower sales leverage. The Anthony’s brand contribution of approximately $1.3 million, or 75% of the improvement was primarily attributable to lower food costs as a result of lower chicken wing prices than the comparable prior year quarter.

Labor and Related Expenses

Labor and related expenses for the quarter ended October 2, 2023 decreased by approximately $0.4 million, or 3% as compared to the quarter ended October 3, 2022. As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, labor, and related expenses were 31.8% for the quarter ended October 2, 2023 as compared to 30.3% for the quarter ended October 3, 2022. This 150 basis points increase is primarily due to higher per hour labor rates, higher training costs, and lower efficiencies due to loss on sales leverage.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses for the quarter ended October 2, 2023 decreased by approximately $0.3 million, or 4% as compared to the quarter ended October 3, 2022. As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, other operating expenses were 19.3% for the quarter ended October 2, 2023 as compared to 18.5% for the quarter ended October 3, 2022. This 80 basis points increase primarily relates to loss on sales leverage partially offset by cost efficiencies.

Occupancy and Related Expenses

Occupancy and related expenses for the quarter ended October 2, 2023 increased by approximately $0.1 million, or 2%, as compared to the quarter ended October 3, 2022. As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, occupancy and related expenses were 10.5% for the quarter ended October 2, 2023 as compared to 9.5% for the quarter ended October 3, 2022. This increase in percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales was due to lower sales leverage, operation of more BurgerFi corporate-owned restaurants during the quarter and increased pass-thru operating expense adjustments from landlords.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended October 2, 2023 decreased by approximately $0.9 million, or 16% as compared to the quarter ended October 3, 2022. The change was due to lower merger integration activities, wages, and professional fees incurred during the quarter ended October 2, 2023 as compared to the quarter ended October 3, 2022.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense was $3.3 million for the quarter ended October 2, 2023, as compared to $4.3 million for the quarter ended October 3, 2022. This decrease was primarily related to lower asset values due to fully depreciated assets and as a result of impairments recorded during the prior year.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Share-based compensation expense was $0.2 million for the quarter ended October 2, 2023, as compared to $1.0 million for the quarter ended October 3, 2022, primarily due to lower amortization of restricted stock unit grants and forfeiture of shares granted to executives during the quarter ended October 2, 2023 as compared to the prior year quarter.

Brand Development, Co-op and Advertising Expense

Brand development, co-op and advertising expense was $1.0 million for the quarter ended October 2, 2023, as compared to $1.2 million for the quarter ended October 3, 2022. This decrease primarily relates to the timing of advertising activities in 2023 when compared to the same quarter in the prior year.

29

Restructuring costs and other charges, net

Restructuring costs and other charges, net for the quarter ended October 2, 2023 of $0.5 million primarily related to $0.3 million costs related to transition of new executives and $0.2 million in store closure costs. Restructuring costs and other charges, net for the quarter ended October 3, 2022 of $0.6 million, primarily related to store closure costs for unopened locations.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net was approximately $2.2 million for both the quarters ended October 2, 2023 and October 3, 2022. Interest expense primarily resulted from interest associated with our Credit Agreement, interest accretion on the related party note, and the accretion in value of our outstanding preferred stock.

Gain on Change in Value of Warrant Liability

The Company recorded a non-cash gain of approximately $0.2 million during the quarter ended October 2, 2023, as compared to a non-cash gain of approximately $0.7 million during the quarter ended October 3, 2022, 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.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net was $0.1 million for the quarter ended October 2, 2023 as compared to approximately $2.6 million during the quarter ended October 3, 2022 primarily related to recording an Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) made available through changed Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) legislation in the prior year quarter.

Net Loss

Net loss was $5.0 million, as compared with a net loss of $3.3 million for the quarter ended October 2, 2023 and October 3, 2022, respectively. The change was primarily due to lower same store sale and the absence of the ERC in the current quarter partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization expense, lower share-based compensation expense and gain on change in warrant liability than the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $0.8 million and $1.6 million for the quarter ended October 2, 2023 and October 3, 2022, respectively. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended October 2, 2023 is primarily the result of lost leverage on sales partially offset by lower food costs. Please see below for reconciliation of non-U.S. GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, net (loss) income on a consolidated basis and by segment.

30

Comparison of the nine months ended October 2, 2023 and October 3, 2022

For the nine months ended October 2, 2023, the Company’s restaurant sales decreased by approximately $3.5 million or 3% as compared to the nine months ended October 3, 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in same-store sales at Anthony’s and BurgerFi partially offset by the additional revenue from new restaurants acquired during 2023 at BurgerFi.

The change was primarily due to goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges in the prior year, lower systemwide revenue, reduced share-based compensation expense and lower depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by higher restructuring costs and other charges, net and loss on change in value of warrant liability as compared to the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $5.4 million and $6.5 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2023 and October 3, 2022, respectively. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended October 2, 2023 is primarily the result of lower systemwide revenue partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses and lower food, beverage and paper costs as a percentage of sales. Please see below for reconciliation of non-U.S. GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, net (loss) income on a consolidated basis and by segment.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures

As appropriate, we supplement our reported U.S. GAAP financial information with certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted

33

EBITDA”). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before goodwill impairment, lease termination recovery, employee retention credits, 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 of gains, store closure costs, loss (gain) on change in value of warrant liability, pre-opening costs, (gain) loss on sale of assets and income tax expense (benefit).

We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance, both internally and as compared with our peers, because this measure excludes certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results, as well as items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. We believe that this adjusted measure provides a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying business.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand, and availability on our line of credit. As of October 2, 2023, we had liquidity of $13.7 million, comprised of a cash balance of $9.7 million and $4.0 million of undrawn availability on our line of credit.

Our primary requirements for liquidity are to fund our working capital needs, operating and finance lease obligations, capital expenditures, and general corporate needs. Our requirements for working capital are generally not significant because our guests pay for their food and beverage purchases in cash or on debit or credit cards at the time of the sale, and we are able to sell many of our inventory items before payment is due to the supplier of such items. Our ongoing capital expenditures are principally related to light remodels and equipment replacement, as well as investments in our digital and corporate infrastructure. We estimate our capital expenditures will be approximately $2.0 million for the year ending January 1, 2024.

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

The 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 in compliance with all of the covenants under the Credit Agreement as of October 2, 2023.

Some of the financial covenants contained within the Credit Agreement require financial performance to improve at a rate faster than we have experienced and at a faster rate than we expect to experience over the next twelve months. As a result, management believes it is probable that the Company will not be in compliance with each of the financial covenants in its credit agreement over the next 12 months, which would constitute a breach of the Credit Agreement and an event of default if not cured in accordance with its terms. Any such default would allow the lenders to call the debt sooner than its maturity date of September 30, 2025. In the event that the lenders do call the debt during the next 12 months as the result of a covenant breach, the Company is not forecasted to have the readily available funds to repay 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.

The Company has been and continues to be in communication with its lenders about potential options to address concerns related to meeting the covenant requirements over the next 12 months. Management cannot, however, predict the results of any such negotiations.

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

	Nine Months Ended
(in thousands)	October 2, 2023		October 3, 2022
Net cash (used in) provided by:
Operating activities	$	(3,164)	$	2,563
Investing activities	(489)		(422)
Financing activities	1,482		(2,889)
Net decrease in cash	$	(2,171)	$	(748)

Cash Flows (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities

During the nine months ended October 2, 2023, cash flows used in operating activities were approximately $3.2 million. The cash flows used in operating activities resulted from a net loss of $20.1 million, which was primarily related to depreciation and amortization expense of $9.8 million, share-based compensation expense of $5.4 million and non-cash interest expense of $3.6 million. Additionally, changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in a net liability decrease of approximately $0.9 million, which was mainly due to a net decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, primarily as a result of legal settlements and professional services related to obtaining financing under the Credit Agreement partially offset by receipts of ERC credits included in other assets.

36

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

During the nine months ended October 2, 2023, cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $0.5 million of which $1.4 million, primarily related to purchases of property and equipment for minor remodels and equipment replacements offset by $0.9 million primarily related to proceeds from the sale of liquor license for one of our closed Anthony’s locations.

Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

During the nine months ended October 2, 2023, cash flows provided by financing activities were approximately $1.5 million, which were primarily related to principal payments on borrowings of approximately $6.5 million, which included repayment of $4.0 million on our line of credit and $2.5 million in loan repayments primarily on our term loan, offset by proceeds from borrowings of $5.1 million on our related party note and proceeds of $3.4 million from the private placement of 2,868,853 shares of our common stock.

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 $52.1 million term loan and a $4.0 million line of credit as of October 2, 2023, 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 EBTIDA, 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 had recorded $14.4 million, net of unamortized discount of $0.7 million under the Junior Indebtedness as of October 2, 2023 included in related party note payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

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

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

For information regarding our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, see the “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section of “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. During the nine months ended October 2, 2023, there were no material changes in our critical accounting estimates or policies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on management’s evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of October 2, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 2, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Information regarding our legal proceedings can be found under the Contingencies sections of Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the consolidated financial statements included within this report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows may be impacted by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including those set forth in the 2022 Form 10-K, the occurrence of any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our actual results.

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the 2022 Form 10-K.

At this time, our long-term liquidity requirements and the adequacy of our capital resources are difficult to predict. We believe it is probable that we will be in breach of our covenants under our Credit Agreement within the next 12 months, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We face uncertainty regarding the adequacy of our liquidity and capital resources and have extremely limited, if any, access to additional financing beyond our Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement has approximately $52.1 million in financing outstanding as of October 2, 2023 and expires on September 30, 2025. The terms of our outstanding indebtedness provide for significant principal and interest payments, and subjects us to certain financial and non-financial covenants, including debt service leverage, coverage, and liquidity ratios, each as defined in the Credit Agreement. We cannot assure that cash on hand, cash flow from operations and any financing we are able to obtain through the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to continue to fund our operations and allow us to satisfy our obligations.

At October 2, 2023, we were compliant with our financial covenants. Some of the financial covenants contained within the Credit Facility require financial performance to improve at a rate faster than we have experienced and at a faster rate than we expect to experience over the next twelve months. As a result, management believes it is probable that the Company will not be in compliance with the each of the financial covenants in its credit agreement over the next 12 months, which would constitute a breach of the Credit Agreement and an event of default if not cured in accordance with its terms.

If we expect to be out of compliance under the Credit Agreement, we intend to seek waivers or forbearances from our lenders prior to any covenant violation. Any covenant waiver or forbearance may lead to increased costs, increased interest rates, additional restrictive covenants and other available lender protections that would be applicable to us under these facilities, and such increased costs, restrictions and modifications may vary among debt facilities. There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain waivers or forbearances in a timely manner, on acceptable terms or at all. If we

38

are unable to comply with the covenants in the Credit Agreement and unable to obtain a waiver or forbearance from our lenders, any such default would allow the lenders to call the debt sooner than its maturity date of September 30, 2025.

In the event that the lenders do call the debt during the next 12 months as the result of a covenant breach, the Company is not forecasted to have the readily available funds to repay 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. Management and the Board of Directors are evaluating options to improve liquidity and address the Company’s long-term capital structure, however, there can be no assurance that any such option or plan will be available on favorable terms, or at all.

Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On July 10, 2023, the Company granted Carl Bachmann, the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer, employment inducement awards consisting of (i) 500,000 time-based restricted stock units (the “Bachmann Time-Based Restricted Stock Units”) and (ii) 500,000 performance-based restricted stock units (the “Bachmann Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units”) pursuant to the terms of grant agreements. Each of the Bachmann Time-Based Restricted Stock Units and Bachmann Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units represents a contingent right to receive one share of Company common stock. The Bachmann Time-Based Restricted Stock Units and Bachmann Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units are each scheduled to vest in five equal installments beginning on March 29, 2024, subject to Mr. Bachmann’s continuous employment through the service period for the applicable installment and earlier vesting due to a change of control or certain termination events and, in the case of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, achievement of certain performance criteria set forth in that certain employment agreement (the “Bachmann Employment Agreement”, dated May 23, 2023, by and between the Company and Mr. Bachmann. Each of these grants was made as a material inducement to Mr. Bachmann’s employment and was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors as of July 10, 2023, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). The awards were granted outside of the Company’s 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”.)

In addition to the Bachmann Time-Based Restricted Stock Units and Bachmann Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units described above, as contemplated by the Bachmann Employment Agreement and as an inducement to employment, the Company granted to Mr. Bachmann, effective as of July 10, 2023, 63,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, which such shares are subject to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On July 10, 2023, the Company also granted Christopher Jones, the Company’s new Chief Financial Officer, employment inducement awards consisting of (i) 200,000 time-based restricted stock units (the “Jones Time-Based Restricted Stock Units”) and (ii) 200,000 performance-based restricted stock units (the “Jones Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units”) pursuant to the terms of grant agreements. Each of the Jones Time-Based Restricted Stock Units and Jones Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units represents a contingent right to receive one share of Company common stock. The Jones Time-Based Restricted Stock Units and Jones Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units are each scheduled to vest in five equal installments beginning on March 29, 2024, subject to Mr. Jones’ continuous employment through the service period for the applicable installment and earlier vesting due to a change of control or certain termination events and, in the case of the Jones Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, achievement of certain performance criteria set forth in that certain employment agreement, dated June 8, 2023 (the “Jones Employment Agreement”), by and between the Company and Mr. Jones. Each of these grants was made as a material inducement to Mr. Jones’ employment and was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors as of July 10, 2023, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). The awards were granted outside of the Plan.

Each of the foregoing grants to Mr. Bachmann and Mr. Jones was made in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. Each of Mr. Bachmann and Mr. Jones had adequate access, through business or other relationships, to information about the Company.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) 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 exists. Please see Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial 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 2, 2023 (the “2022 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 approximately $52.1 million in financing outstanding as of October 2, 2023, and expires on September 30, 2025. The Credit Agreement contains numerous covenants, including those whereby the Company is required to meet certain trailing twelve-month quarterly financial ratios and a minimum liquidity requirement. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the Credit Agreement as of October 2, 2023.

Some of the financial covenants contained within the Credit Agreement require financial performance to improve at a rate faster than we have experienced and at a faster rate than we expect to experience over the next twelve months. As a result, management believes it is probable that the Company will not be in compliance with each of the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement over the next 12 months, which would constitute a breach of the Credit Agreement and an event of default if not cured in accordance with its terms. Any such default would allow the lenders to call the debt sooner than its maturity date of September 30, 2025. In the event that the lenders do call the debt during the next 12 months as the result of a covenant breach, the Company is not forecasted to have the readily available funds to repay 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.

The Company has been and continues to be in communication with its lenders about potential options to address concerns related to meeting the covenant requirements over the next 12 months. Management cannot, however, predict the results of any such negotiations.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that results from the uncertainty described above.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 3, 2023 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 2, 2023 contained in the 2022 Form 10-K.

We are required to evaluate events occurring after October 2, 2023 for recognition and disclosure in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter and nine month periods ended October 2, 2023. Events are evaluated based on whether they represent information existing as of October 2, 2023, which require recognition, or new events occurring after October 2, 2023 which do not require recognition but require disclosure if the event is significant. We evaluated events occurring subsequent to October 2, 2023 through the date of issuance of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

On July 28, 2022, our Board of Directors approved the change to a 52-53-week fiscal year ending on the Monday nearest to December 31 of each year in order to improve the alignment of financial and business processes following the acquisition of Anthony’s. Our third fiscal quarter of 2023 ended on October 2, 2023. Our current fiscal year will end on January 1, 2024. As of October 3, 2022, the BurgerFi brand operated on a calendar year-end and the Anthony’s brand operated on a 52-53-week fiscal year. Differences arising from the different fiscal period-ends were not deemed material for the quarter ended October 3, 2022.

Principles of Consolidation

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

Reclassifications

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

Use of Estimates

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

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

Employer Retention Tax Credits

As of October 2, 2023 and January 2, 2023, the Company had $0.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of receivables related to the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Relief Act of 2020 included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Prepaid expenses

The Company routinely issues prepayments to landlords, insurers and vendors in the ordinary course of business. As of October 2, 2023 and January 2, 2023, the Company had $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively of prepayments included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Assets Held for Sale

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 assets to the unrelated third-party purchaser. Assets used in the operations of BF Dania Beach, LLC totaling $0.7 million have been classified as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of October 2, 2023 and January 2, 2023.

During the quarter ended October 2, 2023, the Company recognized $0.1 million in gain on sale of assets in other income, net on our consolidated statements of operations from the sale of a liquor license intangible asset for one of our closed Anthony’s locations with a book value of $0.8 million and classified as assets held for sale in a prior period.

Other Current Liabilities

The Company incurs liabilities associated with the sale of gift cards and gift certificates. As of October 2, 2023 and January 2, 2023, the Company had $0.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively of gift card and gift certificate liabilities included in other current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company incurs liabilities resulting from its customer loyalty program. As of October 2, 2023 and January 2, 2023, the Company had $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively of liabilities for its loyalty program in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Net Loss Per Share

Net Loss Per Share

Net Loss per common share is computed by dividing Net Loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company has considered the effect of (1) warrants outstanding to purchase 15,063,800 shares of common stock and (2) 75,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock in the unit purchase option, (3) 2,983,500 shares of restricted stock units outstanding in the calculation of income per share, and (4) the impact of any dividends associated with our redeemable preferred stock. As the effect of these on the computation of net loss per common share would have been anti-dilutive, they were excluded from the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

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

Litigation

John Walker, Individually and On Behalf of all Other Similarly Situated v. BurgerFi International, Inc. et al (in the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida, Case No. 023-cv-60657). On April 6, 2023, John Walker, on behalf of himself and other similarly situated plaintiffs, filed a class action lawsuit against the Company and certain current and former executives alleging that the Company violated certain securities laws by making false and misleading statements or failed to disclose that (1) the Company had overstated the effectiveness of its acquisition and growth strategies, and (2) the Company had misrepresented the purported benefits of the Anthony’s acquisition and the post-acquisition business and financial prospects of the Company. On July 20, 2023, the court appointed John Walker and Joseph Poalino as co-lead plaintiffs in the matter. On September 5, 2023, an Order of Dismissal without prejudice was signed. Therefore, no contingent liability has been recorded as of October 2, 2023.

Second 82nd SM, LLC v. BF NY 82, LLC, BurgerFi International, LLC and BurgerFi International, Inc. (in the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York, having index No. 654907/2021 filed August 11, 2021). A lawsuit was filed by Second 82nd SM, LLC (“Landlord”) against BF NY 82, LLC (“Tenant”) whereby Landlord brought a 7-count lawsuit for, among other things, breach of the lease agreement and underlying guaranty of the lease. The amount of damages Landlord is seeking approximately $1.5 million, which constitutes back rent, late charges, real estate taxes, illuminated sign charges and water/sewer charges. On November 3, 2021, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint. On November 17, 2021, the Tenant filed an Answer to Landlord’s Complaint and a cross claim against the Company, which the Company answered on December 7, 2021. On December 22, 2021, the Company filed its Response in Opposition to Landlord’s Motion for Summary Judgment and Memo in further Support of its Motion to Dismiss. The Company turned over possession of the property in early 2023. On July 5, 2023, the Landlord filed a Motion of Summary Judgment seeking approximately $1.2 million in past due rent payments. On August 14, 2023, the Court entered an order granting the Landlord’s Motion for Summary Judgment and ordered a damages hearing on the motion, which has not yet been scheduled. On October 2, 2023 a settlement agreement was executed by all parties and the parties filed a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice on October 6, 2023.

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. The Company continues to believe that all claims for damages 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 has been set for April 2024. We believe that all Mr. Gargiulo claims are meritless, and the Company plans to vigorously defend these allegations. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss or range of loss, if any, which may result from the case described above, and, therefore, no contingent liability has

been recorded as of October 2, 2023; any losses, however, may be material to the Company's financial position and results of operations.

All Round Food Bakery Products, Inc. v. BurgerFi International, LLC and Neri’s Bakery Products, Inc. et al (Supreme Court Westchester County, New York (Index Number 52170-2020)). In a suit filed in February 2020, the plaintiff, All Round Food Bakery Products, Inc. (“All Round Food”) alleges breach of contract and lost profits in excess of $1.0 million over the course of the supply agreement with the Company and Neri’s Bakery Products, Inc. (“Neri’s” and together with the Company, the “Defendants”). The Defendants assert, among other matters, that the supply agreement amongst the parties, whereby All Round Food was warehousing BurgerFi products produced by Neri’s, was terminated when All Round Food failed to cure its material breach of the supply agreement after due notice. The parties attended several additional court ordered mediations during over the last several months to attempt to resolve the dispute, however, no resolution has been reached. We believe that all claims are meritless, and the Company plans to vigorously defend these allegations. The court entered an order to dismiss the case on August 15, 2023; therefore, no contingent liability has been recorded as of October 2, 2023.

Employment Related Claims.

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

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.

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 October 2, 2023, we entered into approximately $4.3 million in unconditional purchase obligations over the next twelve months.

The Company Credit Agreement, which provides the Company with lender financing structured as a $52.1 million term loan and $4.0 million available under the line of credit as of October 2, 2023, has 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.

The terms of the Credit Agreement require the Company to repay the principal of the term loan in quarterly installments with the balance due at the maturity date, as follows:

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 and is being amortized over the period of the Delayed Draw Term Loan. The Company recorded debt discount amortization of an immaterial amount for the quarter ended October 2, 2023 and $0.1 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2023, which is included within interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

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 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 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.

Warrants and Options

As of October 2, 2023, 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 (“private warrants”), 445,000 in Private Warrants and 150,000 in Working Capital Warrants, and 75,000 Unit Purchase Option units that are each exercisable for (i) one share of common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 and (i) one warrant exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50. 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 $0.4 million and $0.2 million at October 2, 2023 and January 2, 2023, respectively, and is included in other non-current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities for the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2023 resulted in a gain of $0.2 million and a loss of $0.2 million, respectively, and is recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The gain on change in the fair value of warrant liabilities for the quarter and nine months ended October 3, 2022 was $0.7 million and $2.1 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 2, 2023	$	195
Loss during the period	167
Warrant liability at October 2, 2023	$	362

The fair value of the warrants are determined using the publicly-traded price of our common stock on the valuation dates of $1.14 on October 2, 2023 and $1.26 on January 2, 2023. See Note 13, “Fair Value Measurements.”

Share-Based Compensation

The Company has the ability to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), restricted stock units with performance conditions (“PSUs”), other share-based awards and performance compensation awards to current or prospective employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors under the Company’s 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

On January 5, 2023, the Company filed a Registration Statement with the SEC to register 1,112,889, additional shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company under the Plan, pursuant to the “evergreen” provision of the Plan providing for an automatic increase in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.

As of October 2, 2023 and January 2, 2023, there were approximately 400,000 and 600,000 shares of common stock available for future grants under the Plan, respectively.

RSU and PSU Awards under the Plan

The following table summarizes activity RSUs and PSUs during the nine months ended October 2, 2023:

	Number of Restricted Stock Units	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at January 2, 2023	1,445,600	$	11.68
Granted	793,460	1.24
Vested	(356,644)	13.55
Forfeited	(298,916)	5.72
Non-vested at October 2, 2023	1,583,500	$	7.11

Share-based compensation expense recognized for awards under the Plan during the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2023 was $0.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively. Share-based compensation expense recognized during the quarter and nine months ended October 3, 2022 was approximately $1.0 million and $9.3 million, respectively. As of October 2, 2023, there was approximately $6.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs or PSUs under the Plan to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 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, and no common shares are currently reserved for issuance as of October 2, 2023. 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.

Vesting for the Inducement Awards is over a five year period. Share based compensation expense related to the Inducement Awards recognized during the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2023 was $0.1 million. There was no share-based compensation expense recognized during the quarter and nine months ended October 3, 2022. As of October 2, 2023, there was approximately $2.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Inducement Awards to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.5 years.

Share-based compensation expense recognized for awards under the Plan and the Inducement Awards during the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2023 was $0.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively. As of October 2, 2023, there was approximately $8.6 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 2.3 years.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value MeasurementsFair 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 October 2, 2023 and January 2, 2023.

	Items Measured at Fair Value at October 2, 2023
(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	—		$	362	—
Total	$	—	$	362	$	—

	Items Measured at Fair Value at January 2, 2023
(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	—		$	195	—
Total	$	—	$	195	$	—

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 its common stock on the valuation dates of $1.14 on October 2, 2023 and $1.26 on January 2, 2023. The fair value is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires us to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend rate and service period. The calculated warrant price for private warrants was $0.10 and $0.05 on October 2, 2023 and January 2, 2023.

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

	October 2, 2023		January 2, 2023
Risk-free interest rate	4.95	%	4.14	%
Expected life in years	2.2		3.0
Expected volatility	94.5	%	68.0	%
Expected dividend yield	—	%	—	%

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

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Segment Information

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

The Company’s measure of segment income is Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before goodwill impairment, lease termination recovery, employee retention credits, 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 of gains, store closure costs, loss (gain) on change in value of warrant liability, pre-opening costs, (gain) loss on sale of assets and income tax expense (benefit). Although the Company had historically considered net income to be an appropriate measure of segment profit and loss, management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a more meaningful measure of the Company’s performance.

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

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

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) 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 exists. Please see Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial 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 2, 2023 (the “2022 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 approximately $52.1 million in financing outstanding as of October 2, 2023, and expires on September 30, 2025. The Credit Agreement contains numerous covenants, including those whereby the Company is required to meet certain trailing twelve-month quarterly financial ratios and a minimum liquidity requirement. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the Credit Agreement as of October 2, 2023.

Some of the financial covenants contained within the Credit Agreement require financial performance to improve at a rate faster than we have experienced and at a faster rate than we expect to experience over the next twelve months. As a result, management believes it is probable that the Company will not be in compliance with each of the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement over the next 12 months, which would constitute a breach of the Credit Agreement and an event of default if not cured in accordance with its terms. Any such default would allow the lenders to call the debt sooner than its maturity date of September 30, 2025. In the event that the lenders do call the debt during the next 12 months as the result of a covenant breach, the Company is not forecasted to have the readily available funds to repay 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.

The Company has been and continues to be in communication with its lenders about potential options to address concerns related to meeting the covenant requirements over the next 12 months. Management cannot, however, predict the results of any such negotiations.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that results from the uncertainty described above.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 3, 2023 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 2, 2023 contained in the 2022 Form 10-K.

We are required to evaluate events occurring after October 2, 2023 for recognition and disclosure in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter and nine month periods ended October 2, 2023. Events are evaluated based on whether they represent information existing as of October 2, 2023, which require recognition, or new events occurring after October 2, 2023 which do not require recognition but require disclosure if the event is significant. We evaluated events occurring subsequent to October 2, 2023 through the date of issuance of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Fiscal Period

On July 28, 2022, our Board of Directors approved the change to a 52-53-week fiscal year ending on the Monday nearest to December 31 of each year in order to improve the alignment of financial and business processes following the acquisition of Anthony’s. Our third fiscal quarter of 2023 ended on October 2, 2023. Our current fiscal year will end on January 1, 2024. As of October 3, 2022, the BurgerFi brand operated on a calendar year-end and the Anthony’s brand operated on a 52-53-week fiscal year. Differences arising from the different fiscal period-ends were not deemed material for the quarter ended October 3, 2022.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

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

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

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

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

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