1.Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

BurgerFi International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“BurgerFi,” or the “Company,” also “we,” “us,” and “our”), is a multi-brand restaurant company that develops, markets and acquires fast-casual and premium-casual dining restaurant concepts around the world, including corporate-owned stores and franchises located in the United States, Puerto Rico and Saudi Arabia. On November 3, 2021, the Company acquired (the “Anthony's acquisition”) 100% of the outstanding shares of Hot Air, Inc. (“Hot Air”). Hot Air, through its subsidiaries, owns the business of operating upscale casual dining restaurants in the specialty pizza and wings segment under the name “Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza & Wings” (“Anthony's”).

As of October 3, 2022, the Company had 178 franchised and corporate-owned restaurants of the two following brands:

BurgerFi. BurgerFi is a fast-casual “better burger” concept with 117 franchised and corporate-owned restaurants as of October 3, 2022, offering burgers, hot dogs, crispy chicken, frozen custard, hand-cut fries, shakes, beer, wine and more.

Anthony’s. Anthony’s is a pizza and wing brand that operated 61 corporate-owned casual restaurant locations, as of October 3, 2022. The concept is centered around a coal fired oven, and its menu offers “well-done” pizza, coal fired chicken wings, homemade meatballs, and a variety of handcrafted sandwiches and salads.

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (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 the 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 and Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors for further information.

The Company’s credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks has approximately $68.8 million in financing outstanding as of October 3, 2022 and expires on June 15, 2024. 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 3, 2022.

While the Company’s overall business results have improved sequentially and comparatively to the prior period, 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 June 15, 2024. 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date. Because certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted, these 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 December 31, 2021 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).

We are required to evaluate events occurring after October 3, 2022 for recognition and disclosure in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended October 3, 2022. Events are evaluated based on whether they represent information existing as of October 3, 2022, which require recognition, or new events occurring after October 3, 2022 which do not require recognition but require disclosure if the event is significant. We evaluated events occurring subsequent to October 3, 2022 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 current fiscal year will end on January 2, 2023. As of October 3, 2022, the BurgerFi brand operated on a calendar year-end. Differences arising from the different fiscal period-ends were not deemed material for the period ended October 3, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.

Reclassifications

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

Principles of Consolidation

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

Use of Estimates

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

Corporate-owned stores and Franchised stores

Store activity for the nine months ended October 3, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021 are as follows:

Net Loss per Common share

Net Loss per common share is computed by dividing Net Loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company has considered the effect of (1) warrants outstanding to purchase 15,063,800 shares of common stock and (2) 75,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock in the unit purchase option, (3) 1,703,659 shares of restricted stock unit grants in the calculation of income per share, and (4) the impact of any dividends associated with our redeemable preferred stock.

Reconciliation of Net Loss per Common Share

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


(in thousands, except for per share data)	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

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

Employer Retention Tax Credits

The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, enacted December 27, 2020, made a number of changes to employer retention tax credits previously made available under The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act,

including modifying and extending the Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) for the six calendar months ending June 30, 2021. As a result of such legislation, the Company qualified for ERC for the first and second calendar quarters of 2021 and has applied for ERC through amended payroll tax filings for the applicable quarters. We recognized $2.6 million, net of third party preparation fees, in other income (loss) related to ERC in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2022.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months and disclose certain information about the leasing arrangements. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the new guidance, which includes allowing the Company to continue utilizing historical classification of leases. The Company adopted the requirements of the new standard as of the first day of fiscal year 2022 using the modified retrospective approach without restating comparative periods. See Note 13. Leases for further disclosures upon adoption.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Liquor licenses are considered to have an indefinite life and reviewed for impairment at the end of each reporting period. The Company also reviews both indefinite and definite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

Intangible asset amortization expense for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2022 was $2.1 million and $6.4 million. Intangible asset amortization expense totaled $1.8 million and $5.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

4. Goodwill

The following table presents goodwill by reporting unit as of October 3, 2022:


(in thousands)	Goodwill, gross		Accumulated Impairment Loss		Goodwill, net
BurgerFi	$	123,988	$	(123,988)	$	—
Anthony's	80,684		(37,663)		43,021
Total	$	204,672	$	(161,651)	$	43,021

The Company conducts its goodwill impairment test annually in December, and evaluates on a quarterly basis if indicators of impairment exist. The Company evaluates its goodwill based on its two reporting units, Anthony's and BurgerFi. As a result of a significant sustained decline in the Company’s share price and market capitalization during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company conducted its impairment test as of June 30, 2022.

ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”) requires goodwill to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. For ASC 350 testing purposes, the Company compared the fair value of the reporting units with their carrying amounts. The fair value of the reporting units were estimated giving consideration to the Income Approach, including the discounted cash flow method, and the Market Approach, including the similar transactions method and guideline public company method. Significant inputs and assumptions in the analysis included forecasts (e.g., revenue, operating costs, capital expenditures, etc.), discount rate, long-term growth rate, tax rates, etc. for the reporting units under the Income Approach and market-based enterprise value to revenue multiples under the Market Approach.

As a result of the ASC 350 analysis conducted as of June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a non-cash pre-tax impairment loss of $55.2 million during the nine months ended October 3, 2022 to write down the remaining carrying value of goodwill for the BurgerFi brand by $17.5 million and the carrying value of goodwill for the Anthony's brand by $37.7 million. The non-cash impairment loss is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations under the caption “goodwill impairment” for the nine months ended October 3, 2022.

5. Acquisitions

On November 3, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares and voting interests of Hot Air (the “Anthony’s Acquisition”). The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting.

The allocation of the purchase price was based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions and is subject to revision when the Company receives final information. Accordingly, the measurement period for such purchase price allocations will end when the information, or the facts and circumstances, become available, but will not exceed twelve months from the date of acquisition.

During the nine months ended October 3, 2022, we adjusted our preliminary estimate of the fair value of net assets acquired by $0.2 million. The adjustments to the preliminary estimate of net assets acquired resulted in a corresponding increase in estimated goodwill and includes updates to estimates of provisional amounts recorded for certain accruals and receivables as of the Anthony's Closing Date.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The accounting for the Anthony's acquisition is considered provisional because certain aspects of the purchase price allocation including the valuation of accruals have not been finalized.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, unaudited proforma revenue and net loss were $124.1 million and $16.1 million.

6. Related Party Transactions

The Company is also affiliated with various entities through common control and ownership. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets 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. The amounts due from related companies are not expected to be repaid within one year and accordingly, are classified as non-current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. These advances are unsecured and non-interest bearing.

There were approximately $0.3 million and no amounts included as due from related companies in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of October 3, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company received royalty revenue from franchisees related to a significant stockholder of a nominal amount for the three months and approximately $0.1 million for the nine months ended October 3, 2022 and $0.1 million and $0.3 million for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

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 nine months ended October 3, 2022 rent expense was approximately $0.1 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, rent expense was approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 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 three and nine months ended October 3, 2022, rent expense was approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million.

In August 2022, the Company amended, effective as of September 1, 2022, the independent contractor agreement entered into in April 2021 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 shall provide certain strategic advisory services to the Company in exchange for total annual cash compensation and expense reimbursements of $0.1 million, payable monthly.

On January 3, 2022, the Company granted the Consultant Principal 37,959 unrestricted shares of common stock of the Company. The Company recorded share-based compensation associated with this grant of approximately $0.2 million during the nine months ended October 3, 2022.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Sale Commitment

In February 2020, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with an unrelated third party for the sale of substantially all of the assets used in connection with the operation of BF Dania Beach, LLC. The closing of this transaction has been delayed due to additional negotiation that has been on-going. In the event the transaction is terminated, the Company will begin operating the restaurant, and return the deposit 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets as of October 3, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Contingencies

Eric Gilbert v. BurgerFi International, Inc., Ophir Sternberg, et al. (Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, Case No. 2022-0185- , filed on February 25, 2022). Mr. Gilbert filed a class action lawsuit against BurgerFi International, Inc. and each of the members of the Board of Directors alleging that the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws improperly contains a provision restricting written consents by the stockholders. Mr. Gilbert sought an amendment to the bylaws, as well as attorney’ fees and costs. On March 23, 2022, BurgerFi made conforming amendments to its bylaws to remove the provision restricting written consents by the stockholders. On March 24, 2022, Mr. Gilbert and the Court entered an order voluntarily dismissing the action as moot and retaining jurisdiction to determine Mr. Gilbert’s application for award of attorney’s fees and expenses. At this stage, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome nor can we reasonably estimate of the amount or range of potential loss. Based on the information known to date, the Company’s potential liability appears to be reasonably possible, but the amount or range of potential loss cannot be reasonably estimated.

Second 82nd SM, LLC v. BF NY 82, LLC, BurgerFi International, LLC and BurgerFi International, Inc. (Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York, index No. 654907/2021, filed August 11, 2021). A lawsuit was filed by Second 82nd SM, LLC (“Landlord”) against BF NY 82, LLC (“Tenant”) whereby Landlord brought a seven-count lawsuit for, among other things, breach of the lease agreement and underlying guaranty of the lease. The amount of damages Landlord is seeking is over $0.5 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 parties continue to discuss possible settlement, including turning over possession of the premises to the Landlord and payment of certain rent amounts. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter, however, losses may be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

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

John Rosatti, as Trustee of the John Rosatti Revocable Trust U/A/D 08/27/2001 (the “JR Trust”) v. BurgerFi International, Inc. (Circuit Court for the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, Florida, File No. 146578749). On March 28, 2022, the JR Trust filed a suit against BurgerFi alleging that the JR Trust suffered losses in excess of $10 million relating to BurgerFi’s alleged failure to timely file a registration statement. The parties entered in to negotiations that would resolve this matter as well as all other litigation and disputes between the parties, including the disputes surrounding certain stores owned directly or indirectly by the JR Trust that are operated on its behalf by the Company however, a settlement is still being negotiated between the parties. No assurance can be made that the parties will enter into any such final settlement agreement on the proposed terms or at all.

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 BurgerFi is responsible for one of Gargiulo’s former failed franchises in Sunny Isles, Florida, losses he has allegedly sustained at his Dania Beach location, as well as reimbursement of expenses in connection with his marketing company. Mr. Gargiulo seeks damages in excess of $2 million in the aggregate. The parties attended mediation on January 20, 2022, but it 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, both of which are pending with the Court. We believe that all claims are meritless, and we plan to vigorously defend these allegations. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss or range of loss, if any, which may result from the cases described above, therefore, no contingent liability has been recorded as of October 3, 2022; any losses, however, may be material to the Company's financial position and results of operations.

All Round Food Bakery Products, Inc. v. BurgerFi International, LLC and Neri’s Bakery Products, Inc. et al (Supreme Court Westchester County, New York (Index Number 52170-2020)). In a suit filed in February 2020, the plaintiff, All Round Food Bakery Products, Inc. (“All Round Food”) alleges breach of contract and lost profits in excess of $1 million over the course of the supply agreement with the Company and Neri’s Bakery Products, Inc. (“Neri’s” and together with the Company, the “Defendants”). The Defendants assert, among other matters, that the supply agreement amongst the parties, whereby All Round Food was warehousing BurgerFi products produced by Neri’s, was terminated when All Round Food failed to cure its material breach of the supply agreement after due notice. The parties attended mediation to attempt to resolve the dispute, however, no resolution was reached. We believe that all claims are meritless, and we plan to vigorously defend these allegations. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss or range of loss, if any, which may result from the cases described above, therefore, no contingent liability has been recorded as of October 3, 2022; any losses, however, may be material to the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Employment Related Matters

In July 2021, the Company received a demand letter from the attorney of one of our now former hourly restaurant employees. The letter alleges that the former employee was sexually harassed by one of her co-workers. The demand letters claim that we 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. The claimant alleges damages of more than $0.8 million.

In November 2021, a former employee filed suit alleging that she was sexually harassed by one of her co-workers. The lawsuit claims that we discriminated and retaliated against her and alleged intentional infliction of emotional distress, retaliation, and battery. The claimant alleges damages of $0.3 million.

While we believe that all claims of the above-mentioned Employment Related Claims, which are covered under the Company’s insurance policies, are meritless, and we plan to defend these allegations, it is reasonably possible that the Company may ultimately be required to pay substantial damages to the claimants, which could be up to $1.1 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 we intend 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.

9. Income Taxes

The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes in the United States. The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if its estimated annual tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in that quarter. For the three and nine months ended October 3, 2022, the Company concluded that it has a recent history of losses and has recognized a valuation allowance against the balance of its existing deferred tax assets.

For the three and nine months ended October 3, 2022, the Company's effective income tax rate was 0.0% and 0.6%, respectively. 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company's effective income tax rate was (0.1)% and 20.8%, 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. As of October 3, 2022, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $0.2 million. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. with Federal, State and local agencies. The Company, and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal, state and local tax examinations for tax years starting in 2018. The Company does not currently have any ongoing income tax examinations in any of its jurisdictions.

The fair value of the related party note is determined based on the present value of the underlying cash flows discounted at our incremental borrowing rates.

The fair value of non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, is determined based on third-party market appraisals. The fair value of our warrant liability is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the private placement warrants, private warrants, and working capital warrants was determined using the publicly-traded price of our common stock on the valuation dates of $2.48 on October 3, 2022 and $5.67 on December 31, 2021 and was estimated using a Dynamic Black-Scholes model. This process relies upon inputs such as shares outstanding, estimated stock prices, strike price, risk free interest rate and volatility assumptions. The calculated warrant price for private warrants was $0.18 and $0.75 on October 3, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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


	October 3, 2022		December 31, 2021
Risk-free interest rate	4.02	%	1.11	%
Expected life in years	3.21		3.96
Expected volatility	57.2	%	41.8	%
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,

BurgerFi International Inc., and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Company currently leases all of its corporate-owned restaurants, corporate offices, and certain equipment. The Company evaluates contracts entered into to determine whether the contract involves the use of property or equipment and evaluates whether it controls the use of the asset, which is determined by assessing whether all economic benefits from the use of the asset is obtained, and whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. Once the Company has identified a lease, the lease is accounted for under the requirements of ASC 842.

Upon the possession of a leased asset, the Company determines its classification as an operating or finance lease. The Company's real estate leases are classified as operating leases, and the Company's equipment leases are classified as finance leases. Generally, the real estate leases have initial terms ranging from 10 years to 15 years and typically include two five-year renewal options. Renewal options are generally not recognized as part of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as it is not reasonably certain at commencement date that the Company would exercise the options to extend the lease. The real estate leases typically provide for fixed minimum rent payments or variable rent payments based on a percentage of monthly sales or annual changes to the Consumer Price Index. Fixed minimum rent payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term from the date the Company takes possession of the leased property. Lease expense incurred before a corporate-owned store opens is recorded in pre-opening costs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Once a corporate-owned store opens, the straight-line lease expense is recorded in occupancy and related expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Many of the leases also require the Company to pay real estate taxes, common area maintenance costs and other occupancy costs which are included in occupancy and related expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

A summary of finance and operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities as of October 3, 2022 is as follows:

The Company gives consideration to its recent debt issuances as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when calculating its incremental borrowing rates.

As of October 3, 2022, the Company had additional operating lease commitments of $2.2 million for non-cancelable leases without a possession date.

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 condensed 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 December 31, 2021 (the “2021 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 2021 Form 10-K.

Overview

BurgerFi International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“BurgerFi” or the “Company,” also “we,” “us,” and “our”) 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. On November 3, 2021, the Company acquired (the “Anthony’s acquisition”) 100% of the outstanding shares of Hot Air, Inc. ("Hot Air"). Hot Air, through its subsidiaries, owns the business of operating upscale casual dining restaurants in the specialty pizza and wings segment under the name “Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza & Wings” (“Anthony's”). The results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Anthony's is included in our consolidated financial statements as of the closing date of the acquisition. As of October 3, 2022, we were the owner and franchisor of the two following brands:

BurgerFi. BurgerFi is a fast-casual “better burger” concept, renowned for delivering an exceptional, all-natural premium “better burger” experience in a refined, contemporary environment. BurgerFi’s chef-driven menu offerings and eco-friendly restaurant design drive our brand communication. It offers a classic American menu of premium burgers, hot dogs, crispy chicken, frozen custard, hand-cut fries, shakes, beer, wine and more. Originally founded in 2011 in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Florida, the purpose was simple – “RedeFining” the way the world eats burgers by providing an upscale burger offering, at a fast-casual price point. BurgerFi is committed to an uncompromising and rewarding dining experience that promises fresh food of transparent quality. Since its inception, BurgerFi has grown to 117 BurgerFi locations, and as of October 3, 2022, was comprised of 25 corporate-owned restaurants and 92 franchised restaurants in two countries including 24 states within the United States, as well as Puerto Rico.

BurgerFi was named “Best Fast Casual Restaurant” in USA Today’s 10Best 2022 Readers Choice Awards for the second consecutive year, QSR Magazine's Breakout Brand of 2020, Fast Casual's 2021 #1 Brand of the Year and included in Inc. Magazine’s Fastest Growing Private Companies List. In 2021, Consumer Report’s Chain Reaction Report praised BurgerFi for serving “no antibiotic beef” across all its restaurants, and Consumer Reports awarded BurgerFi an “A-Grade Angus Beef” rating for the third consecutive year.

Anthony’s. Anthony’s is a premium pizza and wing brand operating 61 corporate-owned casual restaurant locations, as of October 3, 2022. 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 61 corporate-owned locations, as of October 3, 2022, primarily along the East coast and has restaurants in eight states, including Florida (28), Pennsylvania (12), New Jersey (8), New York (5), Massachusetts (4), Delaware (2), Maryland (1), and Rhode Island (1).

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

Beyond our current brand portfolio, we intend to acquire other restaurant concepts that will allow us to grow and also offer additional food categories. In evaluating potential acquisitions, we specifically seek concepts with, among others, the following characteristics:

•established, recognized brands;

•long-term, sustainable operating performance;

Table of Contents

•consistent cash flows; and

•growth potential, both geographically and through co-branding initiatives across our portfolio.

Intending to leverage our developing management platform, we expect to achieve cost synergies post-acquisition by reducing the corporate overhead of the acquired company. We also plan to grow the top line revenues of newly acquired brands through support from our management and systems platform, franchising, marketing and advertising, supply chain assistance, site selection analysis, staff training and operational oversight and support.

Segments

We have two operating and reportable segments: BurgerFi and Anthony’s. Our business generates revenue from the following sources: restaurant sales, royalties and other fees, consisting primarily of royalties based on a percentage of sales reported by franchised restaurants and paid by franchisees, and franchise fees, consisting primarily of licensing fees paid by franchisees, and royalty - brand development and co-op, consisting of royalties collected for advertising and related costs.

Significant Recent Developments Regarding COVID-19 and Inflation

During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly spreading outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus designated COVID-19. The pandemic has significantly impacted economic conditions in the United States, where all of our corporate-owned restaurants are located. While the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have subsided, uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to disrupt economic conditions and business activities, as new outbreaks and variants of COVID-19 arise. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, including emerging variants and inflation, could affect our business, operations and financial results is uncertain as it will depend upon numerous evolving factors that management may not be able to accurately predict, including the continued emergence of new strains of COVID-19.

We believe that we have taken appropriate steps to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and inflation on our business, and our business model has, thus far, proven resilient. We continue to actively monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, and to the extent that future business activities are adversely affected by the pandemic, we intend to take appropriate actions designed to mitigate these impacts. We continue to adapt to the changing operational and economic environment that has resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. Our top priority has been to take appropriate actions to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers and business partners, and we continue to monitor evolving health guidelines and respond to changes as appropriate. Notwithstanding moderation of the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental and other restrictions, we may continue to experience negative effects on our business and operations from possible longer-term changes in consumer and customer behavior and/or from negative economic conditions, including recent inflationary effects on labor and food costs, supply chain disruptions and availability of labor.

We did not experience any material supply chain disruptions as a result of COVID-19 to date however, there can be no assurance that we will not experience supply chain challenges in the future.

We have implemented price increases in an effort 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. Although we have experienced some recovery since the initial impact of COVID-19 and are able to meet our obligations as they become due with our cash flow from operations, the long-term impact of COVID-19 on the economy and on our business remains uncertain, the duration and scope of which cannot currently be predicted. We may take additional mitigation actions in the future such as raising additional financing, reducing capital spending, raising prices, or modifying our operating strategies. Some of these measures may have an adverse impact on our business.

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 after 14 months. A restaurant that is temporarily closed (including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic), 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.

Table of Contents

Digital Channel Percentage of Systemwide Sales

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

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

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

Refer below for reconciliation of Non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, net (loss) income on a consolidated basis and by segment.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures

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

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

Table of Contents

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

We believe that this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure provides meaningful information and helps investors understand our financial results and assess our prospects for future performance. Because non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare this financial measure with other companies’ non-U.S. GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. This financial measure should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or an alternative measure of, reported net (loss) income, and should be viewed in conjunction with the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure and the provided reconciliation thereto. We believe this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, when viewed together with our U.S. GAAP results and the related reconciliation, 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, Capital Resources, and COVID-19

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand. As of October 3, 2022, we maintained a cash balance of approximately $14.1 million.

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 opening new restaurants, remodels and maintenance, 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 2, 2023.

During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly spreading outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus designated COVID-19. The pandemic has significantly impacted economic conditions in the United States, where all of our corporate-owned restaurants are located. While the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have subsided, uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to disrupt economic conditions and business activities, as new outbreaks and variants of COVID-19 arise. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, including emerging variants, could affect our business, operations and financial results is uncertain as it will depend upon numerous evolving factors that management may not be able to accurately predict, including the continued emergence of new strains of COVID-19.

We have implemented 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. Although we have experienced some recovery since the initial impact of COVID-19 and are able to meet our obligations as they become due with our cash flow from operations, the long-term impact of COVID-19 on the economy and on our business remains uncertain, the duration and scope of which cannot currently be predicted. In addition, we continue to monitor the spread of new variants, including the pandemic’s emergence of variants.

Credit Agreement

The Company has a credit agreement with a syndicate of commercial banks providing up to $71.8 million in financing (“Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement has approximately $68.8 million in financing outstanding as of October 3, 2022 and expires on June 15, 2024. The Credit Agreement, which terminates on June 15, 2024, provides the Company with lender financing structured as a $57.8 million term loan, a $4 million revolving loan, and a $10 million delayed draw term loan facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”) provided by a related party and a significant stockholder. Pursuant to the terms of an amendment to the Credit Agreement effective as of March 9, 2022, certain of the covenants were amended, such that the Company, together with the other borrowers and the guarantors party to the Credit Agreement, agreed to pay incremental deferred interest of 2% per annum, in the event that the Credit Agreement is not repaid on or prior to June 15, 2023; provided, however, that if no event of default has occurred and is continuing then (1) no incremental deferred interest will be due if all of the obligations under the Credit Agreement have been paid on or prior to December 31, 2022, and (2) only 50% of the incremental deferred interest will be owed if all of the obligations under the Credit Agreement have been paid from and after January 1, 2023 and on or prior to March 31, 2023.

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 3, 2022.

While the Company’s overall business results have improved sequentially and comparatively to the prior period, 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 June 15, 2024. 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 following table presents the summary cash flow information for the periods indicated:

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about items that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Except as described in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation,” to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the 2021 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered on 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 continued were effective as of October 3, 2022, as the material weakness described below has been remediated.

Previously Reported Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In the 2021 Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 14, 2022, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2021. In the evaluation, management identified a material weakness to the design and implementation of controls over the accounting for income taxes. Specifically, management did not maintain controls over the Company’s assessment of its ability to realize historical deferred tax assets on its acquired businesses in accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and the Company’s tax provision controls were not designed to detect certain errors and omissions in calculating the impact of certain transactions on the income tax provision during the period.

In connection with the material weakness as it relates to the accounting for income taxes that was identified as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, management re-evaluated the effectiveness of such controls as of October 3, 2022 and concluded that such controls were operating effectively as of October 3, 2022. The remediation of the material weakness constituted (1) expanded review processes for the Company’s assessment of its ability to realize historical deferred tax assets on its acquired businesses in accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and the Company’s tax provision controls and (2) the utilization of additional third-party professionals and consultants regarding income tax matters.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than as described above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended October 3, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

Information regarding our legal proceedings can be found under the Contingencies sections of Note 7. 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 2021 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 2021 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 $68.8 million in financing outstanding as of October 3, 2022 and expires on June 15, 2024. 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 3, 2022, we were compliant with our financial covenants. While the Company’s overall business results have improved sequentially and comparatively to the prior period, 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 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 June 15, 2024. 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.
