INTRODUCTORY NOTE

On August 28, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), Utz Brands, Inc. (formerly Collier Creek Holdings) (“the Company”), consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Utz Brands Holdings, LLC (“UBH”) pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of June 5, 2020 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), entered into by and among the Company, UBH, and Series U of UM Partners, LLC (“Series U”) and Series R of UM Partners, LLC (“Series R” and together with Series U, the “Continuing Members”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, among other things, the Company domesticated into the State of Delaware from the Cayman Islands by filing a Certificate of Domestication and Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, upon which the Company changed its name to “Utz Brands, Inc.” and effected the Business Combination.
Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,

For unless otherwise noted, the Quarter Ended September 30, 2018

Tableterms “the Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “Successor”, “UBI” and “Utz” refer to Utz Brands, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Predecessor refers to Utz Brands Holdings, LLC (“UBH" or the “Predecessor”), which closed the Business Combination with the Company on August 28, 2020.

As a result of Contents

the Business Combination, the Company’s financial statement presentation distinguishes UBH as the “Predecessor” for periods through the Closing Date. The Company, which includes consolidation of UBH subsequent to the Business Combination, is the “Successor” for periods after the Closing Date. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting in the Successor period, the financial statements for the Successor period are presented on a full step-up basis as a result of the Business Combination, and are therefore not comparable to the financial statements of the Predecessor period that are not presented on the same full step-up basis due to the Business Combination.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements relate to expectations for future financial performance, business strategies or expectations for the Company’s business. Specifically, forward-looking statements may include statements relating to:

The financial position, capital structure, indebtedness, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations
The benefits of acquisitions, dispositions and similar transactions;
The future performance of, and anticipated financial impact on, the Company;
Expansion plans and opportunities; and
Other statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “may,” “can,” “should,” “will,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or similar expressions.

These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Company management’s current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the control of the Company and its directors, officers and affiliates. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s views as of any subsequent date. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update, add or to otherwise correct any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events, inaccuracies that become apparent after the date hereof or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, the Company’s results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ are set forth under the heading “Risk Factor Summary” below and those described under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed on May 13, 2021 for the year ended January 3, 2021. The following is a summary list of certain risk factors that could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. These are not the only risks and uncertainties the Company faces, and you should carefully review and consider the full discussion of the Company’s risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

Our gross profit margins may be impacted by a variety of factors, including but not limited to variations in raw materials pricing, retail customer requirements and mix, sales velocities and required promotional support.



Consumers’ loyalty to our brands may change due to factors beyond our control, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.
Demand for our products may be adversely affected by changes in consumer preferences and tastes or if we are unable to innovate or market our products effectively.
We must expend resources to create consumer awareness, build brand loyalty and generate interest in our products. In addition, competitors may offer significant price reductions and consumers may not find our products suitably differentiated from products of our competitors.
Our reputation or brand image might be impacted as a result of issues or concerns relating to the quality and safety of our products, ingredients or packaging, and other environmental, social or governance matters, which in turn could negatively impact our operating results.
If our products become adulterated or are mislabeled, we might need to recall those items, and we may experience product liability claims and damage to our reputation.
Slotting fees and customer charges or charge-backs for promotion allowances, cooperative advertising, and product or packaging damages, as well as undelivered or unsold food products may have a significant impact on our operating results and may disrupt our customer relationships.
We operate in the highly competitive snack food industry, which may reduce our ability to sell our products to our customers or consumers if we are unable to compete effectively.
Changes in retail distribution arrangements can result in the temporary loss of retail shelf space and disrupt sales of food products, causing our sales to fall.
Our direct-to-warehouse delivery network system relies on a significant number of brokers, wholesalers and logistics companies. Such reliance could affect our ability to effectively and profitably distribute and market products, maintain existing markets and expand business into other geographic markets.
Our direct-store-delivery ("DSD") network system and regional third-party distributor network relies on a significant number of independent operators and third-party distributors, and such reliance could affect our ability to effectively and profitably distribute and market products, maintain existing markets and expand business into other geographic markets.
Resales of shares of our Class A Common Stock could cause the market price of our Class A Common Stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
We are a holding company and our only material asset after the Closing of the Business Combination on August 28, 2020, are our interest in UBH, and we are accordingly dependent upon distributions made by our subsidiaries to pay taxes, make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA")and pay dividends.
The NYSE may delist our Class A Common Stock from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in shares of our Class A Common Stock and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
Reports published by analysts, including projections in those reports that differ from our actual results, could adversely affect the price and trading volume of our Class A Common Stock.
Delaware law, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions that limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.
Certain of our significant stockholders and Utz Brands Holdings members whose interests may differ from those of our other stockholders will have the ability to significantly influence our business and management.
Compliance obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act require substantial financial and management resources.

The Initial Shareholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Shareholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating results for the period from April 30, 2018 (inception) through September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2018.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the final prospectus filed by the Company with the SEC on October 5, 2018 and with the audited balance sheet included in the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on October 16, 2018.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), as modified by the Jumpstart ourOur Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholderstockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, sectionSection 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act)Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statementstatements with another public company which is neithereither not an emerging growth company noror is an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accountant standards used.

The preparation(i) the last day of the financial statementfiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering of common equity securities, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amountswhich we have annual gross revenue of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at$1.07 billion or more, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; and (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer,” which will occur at such time as the Company has an aggregate worldwide market value of common equity securities held by non-affiliates of $700.0 million or more as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. Since the aggregate worldwide market value of our Class A Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, we will not be an emerging growth company commencing on the last day of fiscal year 2021.


Operations – The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary UQF, is a premier producer, marketer and distributor of snack food products since 1921. The Company has steadily expanded its distribution channels to where it now sells products to supermarkets, mass merchants, club stores, dollar and discount stores, convenience stores, independent grocery stores, drug stores, food service, vending, military, and other channels in most regions of the United States through routes to market that include direct-store-delivery, direct to warehouse, and third-party distributors. The Company manufactures and distributes a full line of high-quality salty snack items, such as potato chips, tortilla chips, pretzels, cheese balls, pork skins, party mixes, and popcorn. The Company also sells dips, crackers, dried meat products and other snack food items packaged by other manufacturers.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The majority of the Company’s cash is held in financial statement.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. Itinstitutions with insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of $250,000 per depositor. At various times, account balances may exceed federally insured limits.

Accounts Receivables – Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value. The net realizable value is at least reasonably possible that thebased on management’s estimate of the effectamount of receivables that will be collected based on analysis of historical data and trends, as well as review of significant customer accounts. Accounts receivable are considered to be past due when payments are not received within the customer’s credit terms. Accounts are written off when management determines the account is uncollectible. Finance charges are not usually assessed on past-due accounts.
Inventories– Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are recorded for shrinkage, damaged, stale and slow-moving items.

Property, Plant and Equipment – Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Major additions and betterments are recorded to the asset accounts, while maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the assets, are charged to expense accounts as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the disposal period. Depreciation is determined utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various assets, which generally range from 2 to 20 years for machinery and equipment, 3 to 10 years for transportation equipment and 8 to 40 years for buildings. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company assesses for impairment on property, plant and equipment upon the occurrence of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statement, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Deferred Offering Costs

Income TaxesThe Company complies with the requirements of the FASB ASC 340-10-S9901 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A – “Expenses of Offerings.” Deferred offering costs consisting of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly relatedaccounts for income taxes pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, were charged to additional paid-in capital upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in October 2018.

Income Taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approachmethod of ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires it to financial accountingrecognize current tax liabilities or receivables for the amount of taxes it estimates are payable or refundable for the current year, and reporting for income taxes. Deferred incomedeferred tax assets and liabilities are computed for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based onand the expected benefits of net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax laws and rates applicableexpected to apply to taxable income in the periodsyears in which thethose temporary differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reducebe recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period enacted. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible.

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740-10 related to the amount expected to be realized.

accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC Topic 740740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attributecomprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and measurementdisclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns.

The benefit of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Company’s income tax returns is recognized in the financial statements if such positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefitsreturn and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to bethe interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits”. A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carryover or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that was not recognized as a result of applying the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interestprovisions of ASC 740-10. Interest costs and related penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated, if applicable. The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as income tax expense. There wereinterest expense and penalties as selling and administrative expenses. As of July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2018.was required to be reported. The Company is currentlydoes not awareexpect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next fiscal year.
Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets – The Company allocates the cost of any issues underacquired companies to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the remaining amount classified as goodwill. The identification and valuation of these intangible assets and the determination of the estimated useful lives at the time of acquisition, as well as the completion of impairment tests, require significant management judgments and estimates. These estimates are made based on, among other factors, review thatof projected future operating results and business plans, economic projections, anticipated highest and best use of future cash flows and the cost of capital. The use of alternative estimates and assumptions could increase or decrease the estimated fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and potentially result in a different impact to the Company’s results of operations. Further, changes in business strategy and/or market conditions may significantly impact these judgments and thereby impact the fair value of these assets, which could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Governmentan impairment of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman federal income tax regulations, income taxesgoodwill or intangible assets.

Finite-lived intangible assets consist of distribution/customer relationships, technology, certain master distribution rights and certain trademarks. These assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. Finite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment only when management has determined that potential impairment indicators are present.
Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets (including certain trade names, certain master distribution rights and company-owned sales routes) are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxesamortized but are not reflected in the Company’s financial statement. The Company’s management does not expecttested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances change that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. At September 30, 2018, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believesGoodwill Impairment, the Company is required to record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value.

ASU No. 2017-04, Topic 350, also permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment tests for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. If an entity believes, as a result of each qualitative assessment, it is more likely than not exposedthat the fair value of goodwill or an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its carrying value then a quantitative impairment test is not required.

For the latest qualitative analysis performed, which took place on the first day of the fourth quarter of 2020, we had taken into consideration all the events and circumstances listed in FASB ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, in addition to other entity-specific factors that had taken place from the period of the business combination, which assessed goodwill, on August 28, 2020. We have determined that there was no significant risks on such account.

impact that affected the fair value of the reporting unit through July 4, 2021. Therefore, we have determined that it was not necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test for the reporting unit.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

– Financial instruments held by the Company include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, hedging instruments, purchase commitments on commodities, accounts payable and debt. The carrying value of all cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the debt is also estimated to approximate its fair value based upon current market conditions and interest rates. The fair value of the hedging instruments are revalued at each reporting period.

Revenue Recognition – The Company’s revenues primarily consist of the sale of salty snack items to customers, including supermarkets, mass merchants, club stores, dollar and discount stores, convenience stores, independent grocery stores, drug stores, food service, vending, military, and other channels. The Company sells its products in most regions of the United States primarily through its DSD network, direct to warehouse shipments, and third-party distributors. These revenue contracts generally have a single performance obligation, and the Company recognizes revenue when such obligation is satisfied, as described below. Revenue, which includes shipping and handling charges billed to the customer, is reported net of variable consideration and consideration payable to customers, including applicable discounts, returns, allowances, trade promotion, consumer coupon redemption, unsaleable product, and other costs. Amounts billed and due from customers are classified as accounts receivables and require payment on a short-term basis and, therefore, the Company does not have any significant financing components.

The Company recognizes revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the goods to customers. Control is transferred upon delivery of the goods to the customer. Shipping and/or handling costs that occur before the customer obtains control of the goods are deemed to be fulfillment activities and are accounted for as fulfillment costs. Applicable shipping and handling are included in customer billing and are recorded as revenue as the products’ control is transferred to customers. The Company assesses the goods promised in customer purchase orders and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer a good that is distinct.
The Company offers various forms of trade promotions and the methodologies for determining these provisions are dependent on local customer pricing and promotional practices, which range from contractually fixed percentage price reductions to provisions based on actual occurrence or performance. The Company’s promotional activities are conducted either through the retail trade or directly with consumers and include activities such as in store displays and events, feature price discounts, consumer coupons, and loyalty programs. The costs of these activities are recognized at the time the related revenue is recorded, which normally precedes the actual cash expenditure. The recognition of these costs therefore requires management judgment regarding the volume of promotional offers that will be redeemed by either the retail trade or consumer. These estimates are made using various techniques including historical data on performance of similar promotional programs. The Company has reserves in place of $25.3 million as of July 4, 2021 and $17.6 million as of January 3, 2021. Differences between estimated expense and actual redemptions are recognized as a change in management estimate as actual redemptions are incurred.
Business Combinations – The Company evaluates acquisitions of assets and other similar transactions to assess whether or not the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If the screen is met, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If the screen is not met, further determination is required as to whether or not the Company has acquired inputs and processes that have the ability to create outputs which would meet the definition of a business. Significant judgment is required in the application of the screen test to determine whether an acquisition is a business combination or an acquisition of assets.
The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting for acquired businesses. Under the acquisition method, the Company’s financial statements reflect the operations of an acquired business starting from the completion of the acquisition. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

Use of Estimates – Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Some examples, but not a comprehensive list, include sales and promotional allowances, customer returns, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuations, useful lives of fixed assets and related impairment, long-term investments, hedge transactions, goodwill and intangible asset valuations and impairments, incentive compensation, income taxes, self-insurance, contingencies, litigation, and inputs used to calculate deferred tax liabilities, tax valuation allowances, tax receivable agreements, and warrant liabilities related to the private placement warrants further described in Note 16 "Warrants". Actual results could vary materially from the estimates that were used.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards – In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”), which qualify asrequires a lessee to recognize in its balance sheet an asset and liability for most leases with a term greater than 12 months. Lessees should recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the lessee’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. On June 3, 2020, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASC 842 for private or emerging growth companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements, but believes that there will be assets and liabilities recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and an immaterial impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
In June 2016, ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“Topic 326”) was issued. This ASU requires entities to measure the impairment of certain financial instruments, under ASC including accounts receivables, based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. For non-public business entities or emerging growth companies, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted, and will be effective for the Company beginning in 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2019, the FASB issued "ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" ("Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements740"). This ASU is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and Disclosures,” approximatesclarifying certain aspects of the carrying amounts representedcurrent guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. For non-public business entities or emerging growth companies, ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all the amendments in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, thesame period. Most amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of shareholders' equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of shareholders' equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income iswithin this ASU are required to be filed. This final rule is effectiveapplied on November 5, 2018.a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The Company anticipates its first presentationis currently evaluating the impact of changes in shareholders' equity, in accordance with the new standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (“Topic 848”): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance willfor a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The amendments of this ASU should be included in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Management doesapplied on a prospective basis. The adoptions of ASU No. 2020-04 did not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statement.

2.ACQUISITIONS
Utz Brands Holdings, LLC

On June 5, 2020, UBH entered into a definitive Business Combination Agreement with CCH and the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Unit will consist of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

NOTE 4.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On May 2, 2018, the Company issued 2,875,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor (the “Founder Shares”) in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000. On September 7, 2018, the Company effected a share capitalization resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 10,937,500 Founder Shares. On September 10, 2018, the Sponsor transferred 45,000, 45,000, 52,500 and 52,500 Founder Shares to each of Antonio F. Fernandez, Matthew M. Mannelly, William D. Toler and Craig D. Steeneck, respectively, the Company’s independent director nominees. On October 4, 2018, the Company effected a share capitalization resulting in an aggregate of 12,375,000 Founder Shares. Of these, the Sponsor owned an aggregate of 12,180,000 Class B ordinary shares (up to 1,500,000 of which were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor for no consideration afterContinuing Members. At the closing of the Initial Public OfferingBusiness Combination (the "Closing") on August 28, 2020 (the "Closing Date"), the Company domesticated into a Delaware corporation and changed its name to "Utz Brands, Inc." At the Closing, the Company (i) acquired certain common and preferred interests of the Continuing Members from third party members (“UPA Seller”), and the Continuing Members then redeemed such common and preferred interests for, and the Company received, an equivalent value of common limited liability company units of UBH, (ii) contributed cash in exchange for additional common limited liability company units of UBH, and (iii) purchased additional common limited liability company units and 100% of the managing interests of UBH from the Continuing Members. As part of the Business Combination, the Continuing Members (a) received certain cash considerations for the common limited liability company units that they sold to the Company, (b) received such number of shares of newly issued non-economic Class V Common Stock in the Company equal to the common limited liability company units that the Continuing Members retained in UBH, and a unit consisting of limited liability company units of UBH and a share of Class V Common Stock are exchangeable for one share of Class A Common Stock of the Company, (c) were entitled to receive certain restricted common limited liability company units in UBH (the "Retained Restricted Units") that would be vested under certain market conditions, which vested as of the Closing, and (d) entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) that requires the Company to pay to the Continuing Members 85% of the applicable cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal and state income tax determined based on certain attributes as defined in the TRA. In connection with the Closing, UBH and the Company converted all of the outstanding phantom unit awards issued under the Utz Quality Foods, LLC 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2018 LTIP") into restricted stock units (“2020 LTIP RSUs”) issued by the Company under the Utz Quality Foods, LLC 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2020 LTIP"). Further discussion of the purchase consideration of the Business Combination is disclosed later in this footnote.


The Company was determined to be the accounting acquirer and UBH was determined to be the accounting acquiree, in accordance with ASC 810, as the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of UBH after the Business Combination. In accordance with the ASC 805, Business Combinations, acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of UBH are presented based on their estimated fair values as of the Closing. ASC 805 establishes a measurement period to provide the Company with a reasonable amount of time to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure various items in a business combination and cannot extend beyond one year from the acquisition date.

As a result of the Business Combination, the Company’s financial statement presentation distinguishes UBH as the “Predecessor” through the Closing Date. The Company, which includes consolidation of UBH subsequent to the Business Combination, is the “Successor” for periods after the Closing Date. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting in the Successor period, the financial statements for the Successor period are presented on a full step-up basis as a result of the Business Combination, and are therefore not comparable to the financial statements of the Predecessor period that are not presented on the same full step-up basis due to the Business Combination.

The following table summarizes the provisional total business enterprise value, comprised of the fair value of certain purchase consideration paid by the Company to the Continuing Members, the fair value of the noncontrolling interest and the fair value of certain net debt assumed by the Company at Closing:

(1) Under the terms of the TRA, the Company generally will be required to pay to the Continuing Members 85% of the applicable cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal and state income tax based on its ownership in UBH that the Company is deemed to realize in certain circumstances as a result of the increases in tax basis and certain tax attributes resulting from the Business Combination. The fair value of these contingent payments at the Closing was $28.7 million which has been recorded as a non-current accrued expense. Refer to Note 14. "Income Taxes" for additional information on the TRA.

(2) Represents the fair value of the Phantom Units associated with the pre-combination requisite service period and issued under the 2018 LTIP that were converted into 2020 LTIP RSUs of the Company issued under the 2020 LTIP at the Closing. The difference between the fair value of the Phantom Units and the fair values of the 2020 LTIP RSUs represents the fair value of the compensation expenses for the post-combination requisite service period for the replacement awards. Compensation expenses will be recorded evenly during the post-combination requisite service period through the end of fiscal 2021, which is the cliff vest date of the replacement awards.

(3) A total of 3,483,022 Retained Restricted Units in UBH were received by the Continuing Members at the Closing. These Retained Restricted Units were vested and converted to common limited liability company units of UBH at the Closing, as the vesting conditions were all met as of the Closing. The fair value of the Retained Restricted Units was calculated based on the stock price of the Company on the Closing Date, less a 5% lack of marketability discount due to a restriction on the exchange of the Continuing Members’ common limited liability company units to Class A Common Stock of the Company for a period not to exceed 12 months from the Closing Date.

(4) The noncontrolling interest represents the common limited liability company units of UBH held by the Continuing Members. The fair value of these units was determined based on the Class A Common Stock price of the Company on the Closing Date, less a 5% lack of marketability discount due to a restriction on the exchange of the Continuing Members’ common limited liability company units to Class A Common Stock of the Company for a period not to exceed 12 months from the Closing Date.

(1) The Company has determined that certain of the acquired trade names included in Intangible assets, net will be amortized over a period of 15 years, and the customer relationships asset will be amortized over a period of 25 years on a straight-line basis commensurate with the acquisition date expectations for the economic value (i.e. net cash flow generating capability) that is to be provided by the trade names and customer relationships, respectively.

The provisional fair values allocated to identifiable intangible assets and their estimated useful lives are as follows:

Fair ValueUseful Life
(In Thousands)(In Years)
Indefinite lived trade names$355,500 Indefinite
Finite lived trade names56,000 15

Total$871,150 

(2) The goodwill of $645.0 million represents the excess of the gross consideration transferred over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Qualitative factors that contribute to the recognition of goodwill include certain intangible assets that are not recognized as separate identifiable intangible assets apart from goodwill. Intangible assets not recognized apart from goodwill consist primarily of the strong market position and the assembled workforce of UBH. A portion of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. As of July 4, 2021, the purchase price allocation has not been finalized.

H.K. Anderson

On November 2, 2020, the Company, through its subsidiary, UQF, acquired certain assets of the H.K. Anderson business ("HKA Acquisition"), a leading brand of peanut butter-filled pretzels, from subsidiaries of Conagra Brands, Inc. for approximately $8.0 million. The acquisition, which includes certain intangible assets, is intended to broaden the Company's product offering to include peanut butter filled pretzels. The provisional fair values to which the purchase price was allocated were $1.8 million to trademarks, $2.7 million to customer relationships, and $3.5 million to goodwill. The trademarks and customer relationships are being amortized over a period of 15 years. As of July 4, 2021, the purchase price allocation has not been finalized. We expect to finalize the valuation report and complete the purchase price allocation no later than one-year from the acquisition date.

Truco Holdco Inc. Acquisition and OTB Brand Purchase

On November 11, 2020, the Company caused its subsidiaries, UQF and Heron, to enter into a Stock Purchase Agreement among UQF, Heron, Truco Holdco Inc. (“Truco”) and Truco Holdings LLC ("Truco Seller"). On December 14, 2020, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company caused its subsidiary, Heron, to purchase and acquire from Truco Holdings LLC all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Truco (the "Truco Acquisition"). Upon completion of the Truco Acquisition, Truco became a wholly owned subsidiary of Heron. At the closing of the Truco Acquisition, the Company paid the aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $405.1 million to Truco Holdings LLC, including payments of approximately $3.0 million for cash on hand at Truco at the closing of the Truco Acquisition, less estimated working capital adjustments, subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

In addition, on December 14, 2020, UQF purchased and acquired from OTB Acquisition, LLC certain intellectual property ("OTB IP") assets (the "IP Purchase") pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated November 11, 2020, among UQF, Truco Holdings LLC and OTB Acquisition LLC. The IP Purchase was determined to be an asset acquisition under the provisions of ASC Subtopic 805-50. The IP Purchase is accounted for separately from the Truco Acquisition, as Truco and the OTB IP were acquired from two different selling parties that were not under common control and the two acquisitions are separate transactions. The OTB IP was initially recognized and measured by the Company based on its purchase price of $79.0 million since it was acquired in an asset purchase and is treated as an indefinite lived intangible asset.

For the Truco Acquisition, the Company was determined to be the accounting acquirer and Truco was determined to be the accounting acquiree, in accordance with ASC 805. In accordance with the ASC 805 acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Truco are presented based on their estimated fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition. ASC 805 establishes a measurement period to provide the Company with a reasonable amount of time to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure various items in a business combination and cannot extend beyond one year from the acquisition date.

The Company estimated an income tax refund receivable in the amount of $4.5 million related to the pre-acquisition tax periods, which was reflected on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of January 3, 2021. The Company recorded a corresponding payable of $4.5 million to Truco Holdings LLC.

(2) The identifiable intangible assets represent the existing customer relationships of Truco that were valued using a discounted cash flow model using projected sales growth, attrition and a useful life of 15 years. Truco’s provisional customer relationship fair value is $225.0 million. The Company has determined that all the acquired customer relationships will be amortized over a period of 15 years on a straight-line basis commensurate with the acquisition date expectations for the economics that are to be provided by the customer relationships.

(3) The goodwill of $214.8 million represents the excess of the gross consideration transferred over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Qualitative factors that contribute to the recognition of goodwill include certain intangible assets that are not recognized as separate identifiable intangible assets apart from goodwill. Intangible assets not recognized apart from goodwill consist primarily of the strong market position and the assembled workforce of Truco.

On November 21, 2017, UBH entered into an asset based revolving credit facility (as amended, the “ABL facility”) in an initial aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million. The ABL facility was set to expire on the fifth anniversary of closing, or November 21, 2022. On April 1, 2020, the ABL facility was amended to increase the credit limit up to $116.0 million and to extend the maturity through August 22, 2024. On December 18, 2020 the ABL facility was amended to increase the credit limit up to $161.0 million. NaN amounts were outstanding under this facility as of July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021. Availability under the ABL facility is based on a monthly accounts receivable and inventory borrowing base certification, which is net of outstanding letters of credit and amounts borrowed. As of July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, $109.0 million and $106.4 million, respectively, was available for borrowing, net of letters of credit. The facility bears interest at an annual rate based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.50% (ranging from 1.50% to 2.00% based on availability) or the prime rate plus an applicable margin of 0.50% (ranging from 0.50% to 1.00%). Had the Company elected to use the Prime rate, the interest rate on the facility as of July 4, 2021 and June 28, 2020, would have been 3.75% and 3.75%, respectively. The Company elected to use the LIBOR rate, the interest rate on the ABL facility as of July 4, 2021 was 1.60%. The Company elected to use the LIBOR rate as of June 28, 2020 and the interest rate was 1.66%. The ABL facility is also subject to unused line fees (0.5% at July 4, 2021) and other fees and expenses.
Standby letters of credit in the amount of $11.6 million and $14.1 million have been issued as of July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, respectively. The standby letters of credit are primarily issued for insurance purposes.

The First Lien Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $1.3 million beginning March 2018, with a balloon payment due for any remaining balance on the seventh anniversary of closing, or November 21, 2024. On August 28, 2020, as part of the Business Combination (as described in Note 1. "Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 2. "Acquisitions") an advance payment of principal was made on the First Lien Term Loan of $111.6 million. The First Lien Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate based on either LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.50%, or prime rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50%. The interest rate on the First Lien Term Loan as of June 28, 2020 was 5.10%. In connection with Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, dated November 21, 2017 with Bank of America, N.A., as further described within this note, the outstanding balance of $410 million was repaid in full the interest rate on this instrument was 3.64% at the time of payoff.
The Company incurred closing and other costs associated with the Term Loans, which were allocated to each loan on a specific identification basis based on original principal amounts. Finance fees allocated to the First Lien Term Loan and the Second Lien Term Loan were $10.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively, which were presented net within “non-current portion of debt” on the consolidated balance sheets for the predecessor periods. Deferred fees are amortized ratably over the respective lives of each term loan. Deferred fees associated with the term loans under the January 2017 credit agreement were fully expensed during 2017 and deferred financing fees were derecognized as a result of the Business Combination as described in the Note 1. "Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 2. "Acquisitions".
Separately, on October 21, 2019, the Company entered into a Senior Secured First Lien Floating Rate Note (the “Secured First Lien Note”) in a principal amount of $125.0 million. Proceeds from the Secured First Lien Note were used primarily to finance the Kennedy acquisition.

The Secured First Lien Note bears interest at an annual rate based on 3 month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 5.25%.
On December 14, 2020, the Company entered into a Bridge Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks, led by Bank of America, N.A. (the “Bridge Credit Agreement”). The proceeds of the Bridge Credit Agreement were used to fund the Company’s acquisition of Truco and the IP Purchase from OTB Acquisition, LLC, in which the Company withdrew $490.0 million to finance the Truco Acquisition and IP Purchase. The Bridge Credit Agreement bears interest at an annual base rate of 4.25% plus 1 month LIBOR with scheduled incremental increases to the base rate, as defined in the Bridge Credit Agreement. The loan converts into an Extended Term Loan if the Loan remains open 365 days after the closing date. As of January 3, 2021, the outstanding balance of the Bridge Credit Agreement was $370.0 million, with $120.0 million being repaid from the redemption of the Company's warrants.

In connection with Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, and a $12.0 million repayment in the first quarter of 2021, the outstanding balance of $370.0 million was repaid in full and the Bridge Credit Agreement was terminated.
On January 20, 2021, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement ("Amendment No. 2") which provided additional operating flexibility and revisions to certain restrictive covenants. Pursuant to the terms of Amendment No. 2, the Company raised $720 million in aggregate principal of Term Loan B ("Term Loan B") which bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.00%, and extended the maturity of the Credit Agreement to January 20, 2028. The proceeds were used, together with cash on hand and proceeds from our exercised warrants, to redeem the outstanding principal amount of existing Term Loan B and Bridge Credit Agreement of $410 million and $358 million, respectively. The refinancing was accounted for as an extinguishment. The Company incurred debt issuance costs and original issuance discounts of $8.4 million. The interest rate on Term Loan B was 3.09% as of July 4, 2021.
On June 22, 2021, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement ("Amendment No. 3"). Pursuant to the terms of Amendment No. 3, the Company increased the principal balance of Term Loan B by $75.0 million to bring the aggregated balance of Term Loan B proceeds to $795.0 million, of which $791.2 million remains outstanding as of July 4, 2021. The Company incurred additional debt issuance costs and original issuance discounts of $0.7 million related to the incremental funding.
The First Lien Term Loan, the Secured First Lien Note, Term Loan B, and the ABL facility are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of UBH and its subsidiaries, including equity interests in certain of UBH’s subsidiaries. The credit agreements contain certain affirmative and negative covenants as to operations and the financial condition of UBH and its subsidiaries. UBH and its subsidiaries were in compliance with its financial covenant as of July 4, 2021.

On July 2, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Bank of America Leasing & Capital, LLC, whereby the Company agreed to sell and lease-back certain manufacturing equipment and warehouse/distribution equipment for $13.0 million.

9.DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND PURCHASE COMMITMENTS
Derivative Financial Instruments
To reduce the effect of interest rate fluctuations, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract on September 6, 2019, with an effective date of September 30, 2019, with a counter party to make a series of payments based on a fixed interest rate of 1.339% and receive a series of payments based on the greater of LIBOR or 0.00%. Both the fixed and floating payment streams are based on a notional amount of $250 million. The Company entered into this transaction to reduce its exposure to changes in cash flows associated with its variable rate debt and has designated this derivative as a cash flow hedge. At July 4, 2021, the effective fixed interest rate on the long-term debt hedged by this contract was 3.53%. For further treatment of the Company’s interest rate swap, refer to Note 10. "Fair Value Measurements" and Note 12. "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)."

10.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company follows the guidance relating to fair value measurements and disclosures with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value each reporting period, and with respect to non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level I) and the lowest priority to unobservable pricing inputs (Level III). A financial asset or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level I - Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level II - Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active. Financial asset or liabilities which are included in this category are securities where all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and
Level III - Prices or valuations that are unobservable and where there is little, if any, market activity for these financial assets or liabilities. The inputs into the determination of fair value inputs for these investments require significant management judgment or estimation. The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial asset or liability and is affected by a wide variety of factors. To the extent tothat valuation is based on inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment.
The fair values of the Company’s Level 2 derivative instruments were determined using valuation models that use market observable inputs including interest rate curves and both forward and spot prices for commodities. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent commodity and interest rate swap contracts.

11.CONTINGENCIES
Litigation Matters
The Company is involved in litigation and other matters incidental to the conduct of its business, the results of which, in the opinion of management, are not likely to be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Tax Matters
The Company received an assessment from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania pursuant to a sales and use tax audit for the period from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016. As of July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, the Company had a reserve of $1.3 million, to cover the assessment.
Guarantees
The Company partially guarantees loans made to IOs by Cadence Bank for the purchase of routes. The outstanding balance of loans guaranteed was exercised)$2.8 million and $4.1 million at July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, respectively, all of which was recorded by the Company as an off balance sheet arrangement. The maximum amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under the guarantees equates to 25% of the outstanding loan balance up to $2.0 million.

The Company partially guarantees loans made to IOs by Bank of America for the purchase of routes. The outstanding balance of loans guaranteed that were issued by Bank of America was $10.0 million and $7.1 million at July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, respectively, which are off balance sheet. As discussed in Note 8. "Long-Term Debt", the Company also sold notes receivable on its books to Bank of America during fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2021, which the Company partially guarantees. The outstanding balance of notes purchased by Bank of America at July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021 was $21.0 million and $16.5 million, respectively. Due to the structure of the transactions, the sales did not qualify for sale accounting treatment, as such the Company records the notes payable obligation owed by the IOs to the financial institution on its consolidated balance sheets; the corresponding note receivable also remained on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The maximum amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees equates to 25% of the outstanding loan balance on the first day of each calendar year plus 25% of the amount of any new loans issued during such calendar year. These loans are collateralized by the routes for which the loans are made. Accordingly, the Company has the ability to recover substantially all of the outstanding loan value upon default.
The Company guarantees loans made to IOs by M&T Bank for the purchase of routes. The agreement with M&T Bank was amended in January 2020 so that the Company guaranteed up to 25% of the greater of the aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding on the payment date or January 1st of the subject year. The outstanding balance of loans guaranteed was $5.6 million and $6.6 million at July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, respectively, all of which was the Company's consolidated balance sheets. These loans are collateralized by the routes for which the loans are made. Accordingly, the Company has the ability to recover substantially all of the outstanding loan value upon default.

14.INCOME TAXES
The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes with respect to 4,000,000 Units, and,our allocable share of any taxable income or loss of UBH, as agreed withwell as any standalone income or loss the Company waived their rightgenerates. UBH is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, and for most applicable state and local income tax purposes, and generally does not pay income taxes in most jurisdictions. Instead, UBH taxable income or loss is passed through to further exerciseits members, including the over-allotment option.Company. Despite its partnership treatment, UBH is liable for income taxes in those states not recognizing its pass-through status and for certain of its subsidiaries not taxed as pass-through entities. The Company has acquired various domestic entities taxed as corporations, which are now wholly-owned by us or our subsidiaries. Where required or allowed, these subsidiaries also file and pay tax as a consolidated group for federal and state income tax purposes. The Company anticipates this structure to remain in existence for the foreseeable future.

The Company recorded income tax expense for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 4, 2021 of $0.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Comparably, the Company recorded income tax expense for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended June 28, 2020 of $1.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The effective tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 4, 2021 were 2.5% and (24.8)%, respectively. Comparably, the effective tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended June 28, 2020 were 15.2% and 24.2%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of UBH, which is a partnership, therefore not taxed at the Company level, and is required to allocate some of its taxable results to the Continuing Members, as well as state taxes and the fair value impact of warrant liabilities. The Company’s effective tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 4, 2021 are (9.1)% and (5.5)%, respectively, before consideration of any discrete items. During the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 4, 2021, the effective tax rate was impacted by statutory state tax rate changes which resulted in a discrete tax expense of $0.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

The Company regularly evaluates valuation allowances established for deferred tax assets ("DTA's") for which future realization is uncertain. The Company assessed the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether future taxable income would be generated to permit use of the existing DTA's. As of July 4, 2021, a result, an aggregatesignificant piece of 1,000,000 Founder Shares wereobjective negative evidence evaluated was the twelve-quarter cumulative loss before taxes. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as projections for future growth. The Company determined that there is uncertainty regarding the utilization of certain DTA's such as the investment in UBH and state net operating losses where the Company does not expect to continue to have nexus. Therefore, a full valuation allowance has been recorded against the DTA's for which it is more-likely-than-not they will not be realized. The amount of DTA considered realizable; however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as projections for growth.

As of July 4, 2021, tax years 2017 through 2021 remain open and subject to forfeiture,examination by the Internal Revenue Service and the remaining 500,000 Founder Shares were subsequently surrendered tomajority of the states where the Company by the Sponsor for no consideration on October 19, 2018.

Tax receivable agreement liability

Pursuant to an election under section 754 of the holder, on a one-for-one basis. However, if additional Class A ordinary shares or any other equity-linked securities are issued orInternal Revenue Code, the Company obtained an increase in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of UBH when it was deemed issuedto purchase UBH units from the UPA Seller and purchased UBH units from the Continuing Members in connection with the initialBusiness Combination. Following the Business Combination, the Continuing Members may exchange UBH units (along with the forfeiture of a corresponding number of Class V Common Stock of the Company for Class A Common Stock of the Company. The Company intends to treat any such exchanges as direct purchases for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which is expected to further increase its share of the tax basis in the net assets of UBH. The increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts the Company would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities. They may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Company entered into the TRA, which provides for the payment by the Company of 85% of the amount of any tax benefits realized as a result of (i) increases in the share of the tax basis in the net assets of UBH resulting from the Business Combination and any future exchanges by the Continuing Members of UBH units (along with the forfeiture of a corresponding number of Class V Common Stock of the Company for Class A Common Stock of the Company.; (ii) tax basis increases attributable to payments made under the TRA; and (iii) tax amortization deductions attributable to the acquisition of Kennedy and the election to treat the transaction as an asset deal for tax purposes (the "TRA Payments"). The rights of each party under the TRA other than the Company are assignable, subject to certain restrictions. The timing and amount of aggregate payments due under the TRA may vary based on a number of factors, including the timing and amount of taxable income generated by the Company each year, as well as the tax rate then applicable, among other factors.

As of July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, the Company had a liability of $28.7 million related to its projected obligations under the TRA, which is reflected as a non-current accrued expense in the consolidated balance sheets.

We account for the Warrants as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”), due to certain settlement provisions in the corresponding warrant agreement that do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity. Pursuant to ASC 815-40, the Warrants are now classified as a liability at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, and the change in the fair value of such liability in each period is recognized as a non-cash gain or loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Warrants are deemed equity instruments for income tax purposes, and accordingly, there is no tax accounting relating to changes in the fair value of the Warrants recognized.

The remeasurement of the warrant liability resulted in a gain (loss) of $19.4 million and $(2.1) million for thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) and twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor), respectively. Such gain (loss) is not attributable to the noncontrolling interest.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”)of 7,200,000 warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per warrant to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $10.8 million. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, $440 million($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and were invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us meeting the conditions of paragraphs (c)(2), (c)(3) and (c)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination, and (ii)are therefore not comparable to the distributionfinancial statements of the Trust Account.

Key Developments and Trends
Our management team monitors a number of developments and trends that could impact our revenue and profitability objectives.
Long-Term Demographics, Consumer Trends, and Demand – We participate in the attractive and growing nearly $29 billion U.S. salty snacks category, within the broader $97 billion market for U.S. snack foods. The salty snacks category has broad discretiongrown retail sales at an approximately 5.7% compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) over the last four years, including the increased in-home consumption of salty snacks due to COVID-19 during 2020. During fiscal 2020, snacking occasions surged as consumers increasingly seek out convenient, delicious snacks for both on-the-go and at-home lifestyles. According to data from the Hartman Group, The Consumer Goods Forum, and IRI, approximately 50% of U.S. eating occasions are snacks, with 95% of the U.S. population snacking daily and the average American snacking 2.7 times per day based upon the latest available IRI data. Additionally, the salty snacks category has historically benefited from favorable competitive dynamics, including low private label penetration and category leaders competing primarily through marketing and innovation. We expect these consumer and category trends to continue to drive strong retail sales growth for salty snacks.
As a staple food product with resilient consumer demand and a predominantly domestic supply chain, the salty snack category is well positioned to navigate periods of economic disruption or other unforeseen global events. The U.S. salty snack category has demonstrated strong performance through economic downturns historically, growing at a 4% CAGR from 2007 to 2010 during the last recession. More recently, the U.S. salty snack category demonstrated strong performance during the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic which began in March 2020 in the U.S. For the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor), U.S. retail sales for salty snacks based on IRI data increased by 3.8% versus the comparable prior year period. In the same period, our retail sales decreased by 7.2%. The U.S. salty snack category has grown at a 7.1% CAGR from June 30, 2019 to July 4, 2021, while the Company has grown at a 6.5% CAGR over the same time period.
Competition – The salty snack industry is highly competitive and includes many diverse participants. Our products primarily compete with other salty snacks but also compete more broadly for certain eating occasions with other snack foods. We believe that the principal competitive factors in the salty snack industry include taste, convenience, product variety, product quality, price, nutrition, consumer brand awareness, media and promotional activities, in-store merchandising execution, customer service, cost-efficient distribution, and access to retailer shelf space. We believe we compete effectively with respect to the specific applicationeach of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied toward consummating an initial Business Combination.

If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “Combination Period”), we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than five business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and our board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of our company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law.

Results of Operations

these factors.

Operating CostsOur entire activity since inception up to September 30, 2018 was in preparation for our formation and the Initial Public Offering. We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and for the period from April 30, 2018 (inception) through September 30, 2018, we had a net loss of $10 and approximately $6,800, respectively, which consisted solely ofcosts include raw materials, labor, manufacturing overhead, selling, distribution, general and administrative expenses.

Liquidity We manage these expenses through annual cost saving and Capital Resources

As indicated in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, at September 30, 2018,productivity initiatives, sourcing and hedging programs, pricing actions, refinancing and tax optimization. Additionally, we had approximately $40,500 in cash, and working capital deficit of approximately $622,000. Upon closing of the Initial Public Offering, we had approximately$2.03 million held outside of the Trust Account.

Our liquidity needs have been satisfied through receipt of a $25,000 capital contribution frommaintain ongoing efforts led by our Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares (as defined below)project management office, to expand our profitability, including implementing significant reductions to our Sponsoroperating cost structure in both supply chain and up to $200,000overhead costs.

Taxes – On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted which includes various tax provisions with retroactive effect. The CARES Act is an approximately $2 trillion emergency economic stimulus package in loans available from our Sponsor under a promissory note (the “Note”). As of September 30, 2018, we had borrowed $155,000 under the Note. We fully repaid the Note on October 17, 2018.

Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On May 2, 2018, we issued 2,875,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares to our Sponsor (the “Founder Shares”) in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000. On September 7, 2018, we effected a share capitalization resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 10,937,500 Founder Shares. On September 10, 2018, the Sponsor transferred 45,000, 45,000, 52,500 and 52,500 Founder Shares to each of Antonio F. Fernandez, Matthew M. Mannelly, William D. Toler and Craig D. Steeneck, respectively, our independent director nominees. On October 4, 2018, we effected a share capitalization resulting in an aggregate of 12,375,000 Founder Shares. Of these, our Sponsor owned an aggregate of 12,180,000 Class B ordinary shares (up to 1,500,000 of which were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor for no consideration after the closing of the Initial Public Offering depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised) and the independent director nominees owned an aggregate of 195,000 Class B ordinary shares. On October 10, 2018, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option; thus, an aggregate of 1,000,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture, and the remaining 500,000 Founder Shares were subsequently surrendered to us by our Sponsor for no consideration on October 19, 2018.

The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares upon the consummation of a Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis. However, if additional Class A ordinary shares or any other equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the total number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by public shareholders), including the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued, or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by us in connection with or in relationresponse to the consummation of the initial Business Combination (including the Forward Purchase Shares, but not the Forward Purchase Warrants (both as defined below)), excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor upon conversion of working capital loans, provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

The holders of the Founder Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date onCoronavirus outbreak, which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange oramong other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property (except to certain permitted transferees). Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Initial Shareholders with respect to any Founder Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the Private Placementof 7,200,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $10.8 million. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account. If we do not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants are non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

Related Party Loans

Under the Note, our Sponsor could loan us up to $200,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering. The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and was due on the earlier of December 31, 2018 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As of September 30, 2018, we had borrowed $155,000 under the Note. We fully repaid the Note on October 17, 2018.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except as set forth above, the terms of the Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

Administrative Service Fee

We agreed, commencing on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering through the earlier of our consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay an affiliate of our Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space and secretarial and administrative services.

18

Forward Purchase Agreements

On September 7, 2018, we entered into forward purchase agreements with the Sponsor and our independent director nominees (the “Forward Purchase Agreements”) which provide for the purchase of an aggregate of 3,500,000 Class A ordinary shares (the “Forward Purchase Shares”), plus an aggregate of 1,166,666 redeemable warrants (the “Forward Purchase Warrants”) to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of  $35,000,000, or $10.00 per Class A ordinary share, in a private placement to close concurrently with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The Forward Purchase Warrants will have the same terms as the Public Warrants. These purchases will be made regardless of whether any Class A ordinary shares are redeemed by public shareholders. The Forward Purchase Shares and Forward Purchase Warrants will be issued only in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of Forward Purchase Shares may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial Business Combination, expenses in connection with the initial Business Combination or for working capital in the post-transaction company.

Contractual Obligations

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holdersthings contains numerous income tax provisions. Some of these securitiestax provisions are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreements, we have agreed to use our commercially reasonable best efforts (i) to file within 30 days after the closing of a Business Combination a registration statement with the SECeffective retroactively for a secondary offering of the Forward Purchase Shares and the Forward Purchase Warrants (and underlying Class A ordinary shares), (ii) to cause such registration statement to be declared effective promptly thereafter and (iii) to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the earliest of  (A) the date on which the Sponsor and all of the independent director nominees or their respective assignees cease to hold the securities covered thereby and (B) the date all of the securities covered thereby can be sold publicly without restriction or limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In addition, the Forward Purchase Agreements provide these holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by us.

Underwriting Agreement

We granted the underwriters a 45-day option fromyears ending before the date of enactment. We deferred $7.8 million of payroll tax deposits per the prospectus relatingCARES Act. The deferred payroll taxes must be deposited in two installments, with half due on December 31, 2021 and the remainder on December 31, 2022. We continue to evaluate the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 6,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On October 10, 2018, the underwriters exercised this option in respect of 4,000,000 Units, and, as agreed with the Company, the underwriters waived their right to further exercise the over-allotment option.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $8.8 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closingimpact of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters were entitledCARES Act; however, we believe it is unlikely to a deferred underwriting commission of $0.35 per unit, or $15.4 million in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

19

Deferred Legal Fees

We are obligated to pay deferred legal fees of $50,000 upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination for services performed in connection with the Initial Public Offering. If no Business Combination is consummated, we will not be obligated to pay such fees.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2018, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.

JOBS Act

On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As such, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of shareholders' equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of shareholders' equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. We anticipate our first presentation of changes in shareholders' equity will be included in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flow.


Financing Costs – We regularly evaluate our variable and fixed-rate debt. We continue to use low-cost, short- and long-term debt to finance our ongoing working capital, capital expenditures and other investments and dividends. Our weighted average interest rate for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) was 3.5%, down from 5.4% during the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor). We have used interest rate swaps to help manage some of our exposure to interest rate changes, which can drive cash flow variability related to our debt. Refer to Note 8. "Long-Term Debt" and Note 9. "Derivative Financial Instruments and Purchase Commitments" to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this filing for additional information on debt, derivative and purchase commitment activity.

LIBOR Transition – As of July 4, 2021, we had $791.2 million in variable rate indebtedness, up from $780.0 million at January 3, 2021. As of July 4, 2021 our variable rate indebtedness is tied to the Eurocurrency Rate which currently uses the London Inter Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") as a benchmark for establishing applicable rates. As announced in July 2017, LIBOR is expected to be phased out by the end of 2021. On November 30, 2020, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Office of the Comptroller of Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation issued a public statement that the administrator of LIBOR announced it will consult on an extension of publication of certain U.S. Dollar LIBOR tenors until June 30, 2023, which would allow additional legacy USD LIBOR contracts to mature before the succession of LIBOR. The Eurocurrency Rate could change benchmarks, the extent and manner of any future changes with respect to methods of calculating LIBOR or replacing LIBOR with another benchmark are unknown and impossible to predict at this time and, as such, may result in interest rates that are materially higher than current interest rates. If interest rates applicable to our variable interest indebtedness increase, our interest expense will also increase, which could make it difficult for us to make interest payments and fund other fixed costs and, in turn, adversely impact our cash flow available for general corporate purposes.

COVID-19 – In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared that COVID-19 constituted a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and later characterized it as a “pandemic”. In response, we have taken necessary preventive actions and continue to implement safety measures to protect our employees who are working on and off site. The same time period, March 2020, also marked the beginning of COVID-19’s impact on the consumption, distribution and production of our products. Demand for product increased significantly for several weeks in late March and into April 2020 as customers “pantry-loaded” in response to “shelter-in-place” measures that were enacted in many markets. Following that initial spike, in the weeks that followed, demand for product continued to out-pace prior year rates as families have favored “at-home” dining at a greater rate than pre-pandemic levels. We have serviced that demand by increasing production and distribution activities. Our strategic manufacturing capabilities and DSD distribution network have allowed us to effectively service the increased demand and be responsive to evolving market dynamics driven by changes in consumer behavior. We will continue to monitor customer and consumer activity and adapt our plans as necessary to best service the business.
Recent Developments and Significant Items Affecting Comparability
Acquisitions
On November 2, 2020, we completed the acquisition of certain assets from Conagra Brands, Inc. related to the H.K. Anderson business, a leading brand of peanut butter-filled pretzels for approximately $8 million. The transaction enables us to jump-start our entry into the growing filled pretzel segment, leveraging the synergies of our salty snack platform.
On November 11, 2020 the Company caused its subsidiaries, UQF and Heron, to enter into a Stock Purchase Agreement among UQF, Heron, Truco and Truco Holdings LLC. On December 14, 2020, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company caused its subsidiary, Heron, to consummate the Truco Acquisition. Upon completion of the Truco Acquisition, Truco became a wholly owned subsidiary of Heron. At the closing of the Truco Acquisition, the Company paid the aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $405.1 million to Truco Holdings LLC, including payments of approximately $3.0 million for cash on hand at Truco at the closing of the Truco Acquisition, less estimated working capital adjustments, subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

In addition, on December 14, 2020, UQF consummated the IP Purchase pursuant to which it purchased and acquired from OTB Acquisition, LLC the OTB IP pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated November 11, 2020, among UQF, Truco Seller and OTB Acquisition, LLC. The IP Purchase was determined to be an asset acquisition under the provisions of ASC Subtopic 805-50. The IP Purchase is accounted for separately from the Truco Acquisition, as Truco and the OTB IP were acquired from two different selling parties that were not under common control and the two acquisitions are separate transactions. The OTB IP was initially recognized and measured by the Company based on its purchase price of $79.0 million since it was acquired in asset purchase and is treated as an indefinite lived intangible assets.

On February 8, 2021, the Company closed on a definitive agreement with Snak-King Corp. to acquire certain assets of the C.J. Vitner's business, a leading brand of salty snacks in the Chicago, IL area. The acquisition increases our distribution in the Chicago area and Midwest Region and expands our product offering. The Company paid the aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $25.2 million which was funded from current cash-on-hand.

On June 7, 2021, the Company closed on a definitive agreement with Great Lakes Festida Holdings, Inc. to acquire all assets including real estate located in Grand Rapids, Michigan related to the operations of Festida Foods a manufacturer of tortilla chips, corn chips, and pellet snacks, and the largest manufacturer of tortilla chips for the Company's ON THE BORDER® brand. The Company paid the purchase price of approximately $40.3 million which was funded in part from incremental financing on an existing term loan.

Commodity Trends
We regularly monitor worldwide supply and commodity costs so we can cost-effectively secure ingredients, packaging and fuel required for production. A number of external factors such as weather conditions, commodity market conditions, and the effects of governmental, agricultural or other programs affect the cost and availability of raw materials and agricultural materials used in our products. We address commodity costs primarily through the use of buying-forward, which locks in pricing for key materials between three and 18 months in advance. Other methods include hedging, net pricing adjustments, and manufacturing and overhead cost control. Our hedging techniques, such as forward contracts, limit the impact of fluctuations in the cost of our principal raw materials; however, we may not be able to fully hedge against commodity cost changes, where there is a limited ability to hedge, and our hedging strategies may not protect us from increases in specific raw material costs. Toward the end of 2020, we began to experience an increase in pricing in certain commodities that has continued into the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. We expect this trend to continue throughout 2021 and may adversely impact our net income. Due to competitive or market conditions, planned trade or promotional incentives, or other factors, our pricing actions may also lag commodity cost changes.

While the costs of our principal raw materials fluctuate, we believe there will continue to be an adequate supply of the raw materials we use and that they will generally remain available from numerous sources.
Independent Operator Conversions
Our DSD distribution is executed via company-owned routes operated by route sales professionals ("RSP" or "RSPs"), and third-party routes managed by IOs. We have used the IO and RSP models for more than a decade. In fiscal year 2017, we embarked on a multi-year strategy to convert all company owned RSP routes to the IO model. The mix between IOs and RSP was approximately 83% and 17%, respectively as of July 4, 2021 versus 75% and 25% ratio for IOs and RSPs respectively as of June 28, 2020. We anticipate completing substantially all remaining conversions by the second quarter of fiscal year 2022. The conversion process involves selling distribution rights to a defined route to an IO. As we convert a large number of routes in a year, there is a meaningful decrease in the selling and administrative costs that we previously incurred on RSPs and a corresponding increase in discounts paid to IOs to cover their costs to distribute our product. The net impact is a reduction in Selling expenses and a decrease in Net Sales and Gross Profit. Conversions also impact our balance sheet resulting in cash proceeds to us as a result of selling the route to an IO, or by creating notes receivable related to the sale of the routes.

Net sales
Net sales was $297.9 million and $242.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor), and the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), respectively. Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) increased $55.9 million or 23.1% over the comparable period in 2020. The increase in net sales for the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) was primarily related to sales attributable to Truco, Vitner's, H.K. Anderson, and Festida Foods following the acquisitions of such entities.
IO discounts increased to $30.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) from $23.7 million for the corresponding thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor). Excluding the impacts of acquisitions and changes to IO discounts due to RSP to IO conversion, total net sales declined 0.7% for the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) versus the corresponding period in 2020. The thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor) experienced increased sales across customers and geographies that were heightened by increased in-home consumption of salty snacks due to COVID-19.

Net sales are evaluated based on our classification as Power and Foundation Brands. Power Brands (“Power Brands”) include our iconic heritage Utz brand and iconic ON THE BORDER® brand; craft brands such as Zapp’s®, Golden Flake® Pork Skins, TORTIYAHS!, and Hawaiian®; “better for you” brands such as Good Health® and Boulder Canyon®; and selected licensed brands such as TGI Fridays® and Herdez®. Our Foundation Brands (“Foundation Brands”) are comprised of several regional brands, including Bachman®, Golden Flake® Chips and Cheese, Tim’s Cascade® Snacks, Snyder of Berlin®, and “Dirty” Potato Chips® as well as partner and private label brands.

For the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor), excluding brands acquired through our H.K. Anderson, Festida Foods, Truco, and Vitner's acquisitions, Power Brand sales increased by approximately 1%, while Foundation Brand sales decreased approximately 3% from the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor). The decline in net sales for Foundation Brands is due to lapping of prior period sales driven by pantry loading and increased at home consumption at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic starting in the first fiscal quarter of 2020 and continuing into the second fiscal quarter of 2020. Partially offsetting the COVID-19 lap was a rebound in the convenience store channel, as well as "on-the-go" oriented channels such as food service.
Cost of goods sold and Gross profit
Gross profit was $95.6 million and $84.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) and the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), respectively. The increase in gross profit for thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) was driven by higher sales driven by acquisitions, contributions from the acquisitions of Truco, Festida Foods, Vitner's, and H.K. Anderson, which were partially offset by the commodity cost and wage inflation.
Our gross profit margin was 32.1% for the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) versus 35.1% for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor). The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily driven by higher commodity inflation, higher labor costs, and inbound freight costs. Additionally, IO discounts increased to $30.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) from $23.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), reducing gross profit by $6.7 million.

Selling, general and administrative expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $93.5 million, up $25.4 million or 37.3%, for the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) from $68.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor). The increased expenses for the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) were primarily driven by incremental operating costs associated with acquisitions and being a public company, $10.3 million, along with the associated depreciation and amortization of $7.4 million, related to the acquisitions and the recent Business Combination. Other factors driving increased year-over-year cost include industry-wide inflationary pressures in transportation and fuel costs of $4.5 million, and increased spend for marketing/media of $1.7 million, to drive future growth.
Gain on sale of assets
Gain on sale of assets was $2.3 million and $0.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor), and the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), respectively. Company owned routes were recorded at fair value as a result of the Business Combination, which resulted in increasing the IO route asset by $10.5 million. Conversions continued during the second fiscal quarter of 2021 and gains were offset by the values of the routes that were established as part of the Business Combination.
Other income (expense), net
Other income (expense), net was $12.2 million and $(9.7) million for the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor), and the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), respectively. The increase in income for the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) was primarily due to a $19.4 million gain from the remeasurement of warrant liability.
Income taxes
Income tax expense was $0.4 million and $1.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor), and the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), respectively.

Twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021(Successor) versus twenty-six week periods ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor)
Net sales
Net sales was $567.1 million and $470.0 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor), and the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), respectively. Net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) increased $97.1 million or 20.7% over the comparable period in 2020. The increase in net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) was primarily related to the acquisitions of Truco, Vitner's, H.K. Anderson, and Festida Foods. The twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor) experienced increased sales across customers and geographies that were heightened by increased in-home consumption of salty snacks due to COVID-19.
IO discounts increased to $56.9 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) from $47.8 million for the corresponding twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor). Excluding the impacts of acquisitions and changes to IO discounts due to RSP to IO conversions, total net sales declined 1.6% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) versus the corresponding period in 2020. The twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor) experienced increased sales across customers and geographies that were heightened by increased in-home consumption of salty snacks due to COVID-19.
Net sales are evaluated based on our classification as Power and Foundation brands. Power brands include our iconic heritage Utz brand; craft brands such as ON THE BORDER®, Zapp’s®, Golden Flake® Pork Skins, and Hawaiian®; “better for you” brands such as Good Health® and Boulder Canyon®; and selected licensed brands such as TGI Fridays® and Herdez®. Our Foundation brands are comprised of several regional brands, including Bachman®, Golden Flake® Chips and Cheese, Tim’s Cascade® Snacks, Snyder of Berlin®, and “Dirty” Potato Chips® as well as partner and private label brands.
For the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor), excluding brands acquired through our H.K. Anderson, Truco, Festida Foods, and Vitner's acquisitions, Power Brand sales were effectively flat, while Foundation Brand sales decreased approximately 4% from the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor). The decline in Foundation Brands is due to lapping of prior period sales driven by pantry loading and greater at home consumption at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic starting in the first fiscal quarter of 2020 and continuing through the second fiscal quarter of 2020. Partially offsetting the COVID-19 lap was a rebound in the convenience store channel, as well as "on-the-go" oriented channels such as food service.
Cost of goods sold and Gross profit
Gross profit was $190.8 million and $164.9 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) and the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), respectively. The increase in gross profit for twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) was primarily driven by higher sales driven by acquisitions, contributions from the acquisitions of Truco, Festida Foods, Vitner's, and H.K. Anderson, which were partially offset by the commodity cost and wage inflation.
Our gross profit margin was 33.6% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) versus 35.1% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor). The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily driven by higher commodity inflation, higher labor and inbound freight costs. Additionally, IO discounts increased to $56.9 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) from $47.8 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), reducing gross profit by $9.1 million.

Selling, general and administrative expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $180.1 million and $136.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor), and the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) increased $43.8 million or 32.1% over the corresponding period in 2020. The increased expenses for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) were primarily driven by incremental operating costs associated with acquisitions and being a public company of $20.5 million, along with the associated depreciation and amortization of $15.0 million, related to the acquisitions and the recent Business Combination. Other factors driving increased year-over-year cost include industry-wide inflationary pressures in transportation and fuel costs of $7.7 million, and increased spend for marketing/media of $3.3 million, to drive future growth.

Gain on sale of assets
Gain on sale of assets was $3.0 million and $1.1 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor), and the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), respectively. Company owned routes were recorded at fair value as a result of the Business Combination, which resulted in increasing the IO route asset by $10.5 million. Conversion continued during the first fiscal quarter of 2021 and gains were offset by the values of the routes that were established as part of the Business Combination.

Other expense, net
Other expense, net was $19.4 million and $18.8 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor), and the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), respectively. The incremental expense for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) was primarily due to a $2.1 million loss from the remeasurement of the warrant liability.
Income taxes
Income tax expense was $1.4 million and $2.6 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor), and the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), respectively.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Further Adjusted EBITDA
We define EBITDA as Net Income before Interest, Income Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash items, such as accruals for long-term incentive programs, hedging and purchase commitments adjustments, remeasurement of warrant liabilities, and asset impairments; Acquisition and Integration Costs; Business Transformation Initiatives; and Financing-Related Costs.
We define Further Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA after giving effect to pre-acquisition EBITDA of Truco, pre-acquisition Adjusted EBITDA of Vitner's, pre-acquisition EBITDA of H.K. Anderson, pre-acquisition EBITDA of Festida. We also report Further Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Pro Forma Net Sales as an additional measure to evaluate our Further Adjusted EBITDA margins on Pro Forma Net Sales.
Adjusted EBITDA is one of the key performance indicators we use in evaluating our operating performance and in making financial, operating, and planning decisions. We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Further Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors in the evaluation of Utz’s operating performance compared to other companies in the salty snack industry, as similar measures are commonly used by companies in this industry. We have also historically reported an Adjusted EBITDA metric to investors and banks for covenant compliance. We also report Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales as an additional measure for investors to evaluate our Adjusted EBITDA margins on Net Sales.

(1)Interest Income from IO Loans refers to Interest Income that we earn from IO notes receivable that have resulted from our initiatives to transition from RSP distribution to IO distribution (“Business Transformation Initiatives”). There is a Notes Payable recorded that mirrors the IO notes receivable, and the interest expense associated with the Notes Payable is part of the Interest Expense, Net adjustment.
(2)Certain Non-Cash Adjustments are comprised primarily of the following:
Incentive programs – Utz Quality Foods, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, established the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2018 LTIP”) for employees in February 2018. The Company recorded expense of $1.1 million and $1.9 million for thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), respectively. Expenses incurred for the 2018 LTIP are non-operational in nature and are expected to decline upon the vesting of the remaining phantom units from fiscal year 2018 and fiscal year 2019 at the end of fiscal year 2021. The phantom units under the 2018 LTIP were converted into the 2020 LTIP RSUs as part of the Business Combination. For the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor), the Company incurred $2.7 million and $5.6 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation under the 2020 LTIP.
Purchase Commitments and Other Adjustments – We have purchased commitments for specific quantities at fixed prices for certain of our products’ key ingredients. To facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating results, this adjustment was made to remove the volatility of purchase commitment related gains and losses. For each of the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) we recorded a loss of $0.0 million compared to a benefit of $0.7 million and $1.0 million for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), respectively.
(3)Adjustment for Acquisition and Integration Costs – This is comprised of consulting, transaction services, and legal fees incurred for acquisitions and certain potential acquisitions. The majority of charges are related to costs incurred for the Vitner's acquisition, the Truco acquisition, the Kitchen Cooked acquisition, the Festida Foods acquisition, and related integration expenditures.
37


(4)Business Transformation Initiatives Adjustment – This adjustment is related to consultancy, professional, and legal fees incurred for specific initiatives and structural changes to the business that do not reflect the cost of normal business operations. In addition, certain Rice/Lissette family-related costs incurred but not part of normal business operations, and gains realized from the sale of distribution rights to IOs and the subsequent disposal of trucks, and ERP transition costs, offset by severance costs associated with the elimination of RSP positions, fall into this category.
(5)Financing-Related Costs – These costs include adjustments for various items related to raising debt and preferred equity capital or debt extinguishment costs. The Company incurred expenses of $0.6 million for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor), compared to $0.0 million and $0.1 million for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), respectively.
(6)Losses (or gains) related to the changes in the remeasurement of warrant liabilities are not expected to be settled in cash, and when exercised would result in a cash inflow to the Company with the Warrants converting to Class A Common Stock with the liability being extinguished and the fair value of the Warrants at the time of exercise being recorded as an increase to equity.
(7)Pre-Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA – This adjustment represents the adjusted EBITDA of acquired companies prior to the acquisition date.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table presents net cash (used in) provided by operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor).

Net cash used in investing activities(70,543)(18,011)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities50,501 (7,384)
For the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor), our consolidated cash balance, including cash equivalents, was $26.7 million or $20.1 million lower than at January 3, 2021. Net cash provided by operating activities for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) was $0.0 million compared to $20.3 million twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), with the difference largely driven by changes in accounts receivable and inventory, and reductions in accrued expenses largely driven by higher year over year compensation payouts. Cash used in investing activities for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) was $70.5 million mostly driven by the Vitner's and Festida Foods acquisitions totaling $66.6 million, versus cash used in investing activity of $18.0 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), which was primarily driven by the acquisition of Kitchen Cooked. Net cash provided by financing activities was $50.5 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor), which was primarily a result of the payoffs of the First Term Loan and the Bridge Credit Agreement, offset by the borrowings under Term Loan B, proceeds from the redemption of Warrants, and net borrowings on the ABL, versus net cash used in financing activities of $7.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor) which was primarily the result of net repayments on the ABL and distributions to members.
Financing Arrangements
The primary objective of our financing strategy is to maintain a prudent capital structure that provides us flexibility to pursue our growth objectives. We use short-term debt as management determines is reasonable, principally to finance ongoing operations, including our seasonal requirements for working capital (generally accounts receivable, inventory, and prepaid expenses and other current assets, less accounts payable, accrued payroll, and other accrued liabilities), and a combination of equity and long-term debt to finance both our base working capital needs and our non-current assets.

Revolving Credit Facility
On November 21, 2017, UBH entered into an asset based revolving credit facility (as amended, the “ABL facility”) in an initial aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million. The ABL facility was set to expire on the fifth anniversary of closing, or November 21, 2022. On April 1, 2020, the ABL facility was amended to increase the credit limit up to $116.0 million and to extend the maturity through August 22, 2024. On December 18, 2020 the ABL facility was amended to increase the credit limit up to $161.0 million. No amounts were outstanding under this facility as of July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021. Availability under the ABL facility is based on a monthly accounts receivable and inventory borrowing base certification, which is net of outstanding letters of credit and amounts borrowed. As of July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, $109.0 million and $106.4 million, respectively, was available for borrowing, net of letters of credit. The facility bears interest at an annual rate based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.50% (ranging from 1.50% to 2.00% based on availability) or the prime rate plus an applicable margin of 0.50% (ranging from 0.50% to 1.00%). Had the Company elected to use the Prime rate, the interest rate on the facility as of July 4, 2021 and June 28, 2020, would have been 3.75% and 3.75%, respectively. The Company elected to use the LIBOR rate, the interest rate on the ABL facility as of July 4, 2021 was 1.60%. The Company elected to use the LIBOR rate as of June 28, 2020 and the interest rate was 1.66%. The ABL facility is also subject to unused line fees (0.5% at July 4, 2021) and other fees and expenses.
Standby letters of credit in the amount of $11.6 million and $14.1 million have been issued as of July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, respectively. The standby letters of credit are primarily issued for insurance purposes.
Term Loans
On November 21, 2017, the Company entered into a First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “First Lien Term Loan”) in a principal amount of $535.0 million and a Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Second Lien Term Loan”, and collectively with the First Lien Term Loan, the “Term Loans”) in a principal amount of $125.0 million. The proceeds of the Term Loans were used to refinance the Company’s January 2017 credit facility and fund the acquisition of Inventure Foods and the repurchase of the predecessor membership units held by a minority investor.
The First Lien Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $1.3 million beginning March 2018, with a balloon payment due for any remaining balance on the seventh anniversary of closing, or November 21, 2024. On August 28, 2020, as part of the Business Combination (as described in Note 1. "Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 2. "Acquisitions") an advance payment of principal was made on the First Lien Term Loan of $111.6 million. The First Lien Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate based on either LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.50%, or prime rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50%. The interest rate on the First Lien Term Loan as of June 28, 2020 was 5.10%. In connection with Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, dated November 21, 2017 with Bank of America, N.A., as further described within this note, the outstanding balance of $410 million was repaid in full the interest rate on this instrument was 3.64% at the time of payoff.
The Company incurred closing and other costs associated with the Term Loans, which were allocated to each loan on a specific identification basis based on original principal amounts. Finance fees allocated to the First Lien Term Loan and the Second Lien Term Loan were $10.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively, which are presented net within “non-current portion of debt” on the consolidated balance sheets for the predecessor periods. Deferred fees are amortized ratably over the respective lives of each term loan. Deferred fees associated with the term loans under the January 2017 credit agreement were fully expensed during 2017 and deferred financing fees were derecognized as a result of the Business Combination as described in the Note 1. "Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 2. "Acquisitions".
Separately, on October 21, 2019, the Company entered into a Senior Secured First Lien Floating Rate Note (the “Secured First Lien Note”) in a principal amount of $125.0 million. Proceeds from the Secured First Lien Note were used primarily to finance the Kennedy acquisition. The Secured First Lien Note requires quarterly interest payments, with a repayment of principal on the maturity date of November 21, 2024. The Secured First Lien Note bears interest at an annual rate based on 3 month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 5.25%.
39


On December 14, 2020, the Company entered into a Bridge Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks, led by Bank of America, N.A. (the “Bridge Credit Agreement”). The proceeds of the Bridge Credit Agreement were used to fund the Company’s acquisition of Truco and the IP Purchase from OTB Acquisition, LLC, in which the Company withdrew $490.0 million to finance the Truco Acquisition and IP Purchase. The Bridge Credit Agreement bears interest at an annual base rate of 4.25% plus 1 month LIBOR with scheduled incremental increases to the base rate, as defined in the Bridge Credit Agreement. The loan converts into an Extended Term Loan if the Loan remains open 365 days after the closing date. As of January 3, 2021, the outstanding balance of the Bridge Credit Agreement was $370.0 million, with $120.0 million being repaid from the redemption of the Company's warrants. Commitment fees and deferred financing costs on the Bridge Credit Agreement totaled $7.2 million, of which $2.6 million remained on the books as of January 3, 2021. In connection with Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, and a $12.0 million repayment in the first quarter of 2021, the outstanding balance of $370.0 million was repaid in full and the Bridge Credit Agreement was terminated.
On January 20, 2021, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement ("Amendment No. 2") which provided additional operating flexibility and revisions to certain restrictive covenants. Pursuant to the terms of Amendment No. 2, the Company raised $720 million in aggregate principal of Term Loan B ("Term Loan B") which bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.00%, and extended the maturity of the Credit Agreement to January 20, 2028. The proceeds were used, together with cash on hand and proceeds from our exercised warrants, to redeem the outstanding principal amount of existing Term Loan B and Bridge Credit Agreement of $410 million and $358 million, respectively. The refinancing was accounted for as an extinguishment. The Company incurred debt issuance costs and original issuance discounts of $8.4 million. The interest rate on Term Loan B was 3.09% as of July 4, 2021.
On June 22, 2021, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement ("Amendment No. 3"). Pursuant to the terms of Amendment No. 3, the Company increased the principal balance of Term Loan B by $75.0 million to bring the aggregated balance of Term Loan B proceeds to $795.0 million, of which $791.2 million remains outstanding as of July 4, 2021. The Company incurred additional debt issuance costs and original issuance discounts of $0.7 million related to the incremental funding.
The First Lien Term Loan, the Secured First Lien Note, Term Loan B, and the ABL facility are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of UBH and its subsidiaries, including equity interests in certain of UBH’s subsidiaries. The credit agreements contain certain affirmative and negative covenants as to operations and the financial condition of UBH and its subsidiaries. UBH and its subsidiaries were in compliance with its financial covenant as of July 4, 2021.

On July 2, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Bank of America Leasing & Capital, LLC, whereby the Company agreed to sell and lease-back certain manufacturing equipment and warehouse/distribution equipment for $13.0 million. This was accounted for as a financing transaction. The terms of the sale leaseback transaction are for 60 months at an interest rate of 3.26%.

Derivative Financial Instruments
To reduce the effect of interest rate fluctuations, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract on September 6, 2019, with an effective date of September 30, 2019, with a counter party to make a series of payments based on a fixed interest rate of 1.339% and receive a series of payments based on the greater of LIBOR or 0.00%. Both the fixed and floating payment streams are based on a notional amount of $250 million. The Company entered into this transaction to reduce its exposure to changes in cash flows associated with its variable rate debt and has designated this derivative as a cash flow hedge. At July 4, 2021, the effective fixed interest rate on the long-term debt hedged by this contract was 3.53%. For further treatment of the Company’s interest rate swap, refer to Note 10. "Fair Value Measurements" and Note 12. "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)."
IO Loan Purchase Commitments
The Company guarantees loans made to IOs by M&T Bank for the purchase of routes. The agreement with M&T Bank was amended in January 2020 so that the Company guaranteed up to 25% of the greater of the aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding on the payment date or January 1st of the subject year. The outstanding balance of loans guaranteed was $5.6 million and $6.6 million at July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, respectively, all of which was the Company's consolidated balance sheets. These loans are collateralized by the routes for which the loans are made. Accordingly, the Company has the ability to recover substantially all of the outstanding loan value upon default.

Other Notes Payable and Capital Leases
During the first fiscal quarter of 2020, the Company closed on the acquisition of Kitchen Cooked and the acquisition included a deferred purchase price of $2.0 million, of which $1.0 million was outstanding as of July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021. Additionally, during the first fiscal quarter of 2020, the Company purchased intellectual property that include a deferred purchase price of $0.5 million, of which $0.4 million and $0.5 million was outstanding as of July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, respectively.
During fiscal 2019, the Company sold $33.2 million of notes receivable from IOs on its books for $34.1 million in a series of transactions to a financial institution. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company sold an additional $2.3 million of notes receivable from IOs on its books for $2.5 million to a financial institution. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company sold an additional $5.6 million of notes receivable from IOs on its books for $5.8 million to a financial institution. Due to the structure of the transactions, the sales did not qualify for sale accounting treatment and the Company has recorded the notes payable obligation owed by the IOs to the financial institution on its books; the corresponding notes receivable also remained on the Company’s books. The Company services the loans for the financial institution by collecting principal and interest from the IOs and passing it through to the institution. The underlying notes have various maturity dates through December 2028. The Company partially guarantees the outstanding loans, as discussed in further detail within Note 11. "Contingencies". These loans are collateralized by the routes for which the loans are made. Accordingly, the Company has the ability to recover substantially all of the outstanding loan value upon default.
Interest expense for the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) was $7.9 million, $7.3 million of which was related to the Company’s credit facility and other long-term debt, of which $0.3 million was related to amortization of deferred financing fees, and $0.3 million of which was related to IO loans. Interest expense for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor) was $10.0 million, $8.7 million of which was related to the Company’s credit facility and other long-term debt, $0.7 million of which was related to amortization of deferred financing fees, and $0.6 million of which was related to IO loans. Interest expense for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor) was $18.8 million, $14.9 million of which was related to the Company’s credit facility and other long-term debt, of which $3.2 million was related to amortization of deferred financing fees, and $0.7 million of which was related to IO loans. Interest expense for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor) was $19.6 million, $17.1 million of which was related to the Company’s credit facility and other long-term debt, $1.3 million of which was related to amortization of deferred financing fees, and $1.2 million of which was related to IO loans. The interest expense on IO loans is a pass-through expense that has an offsetting interest income within Other income (expense).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Purchase Commitments
Additionally, the Company has outstanding purchase commitments for specific quantities at fixed prices for certain key ingredients to economically hedge commodity input prices. These purchase commitments totaled $64.6 million as of July 4, 2021. The Company has recorded purchase commitment gain (losses) totaling $0.0 million and $(0.7) million for the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor), and the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), respectively. The Company has recorded purchase commitment gain (losses) totaling $0.0 million and $(1.0) million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2021 (Successor), and the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020 (Predecessor), respectively.
IO Guarantees-Off-Balance Sheet
The Company partially guarantees loans made to IOs by Cadence Bank for the purchase of routes. The outstanding balance of loans guaranteed was $2.8 million and $4.1 million at July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, respectively, all of which was recorded by the Company as an off balance sheet arrangement. The maximum amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under the guarantees equates to 25% of the outstanding loan balance up to $2.0 million. These loans are collateralized by the routes for which the loans are made. Accordingly, the Company has the ability to recover substantially all of the outstanding loan value upon default.
The Company partially guarantees loans made to IOs by Bank of America for the purchase of routes. The outstanding balance of loans guaranteed that were issued by Bank of America was $10.0 million and $7.1 million at July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, respectively, which are off balance sheet. As discussed in Note 8. "Long-Term Debt", the Company also sold notes receivable on its books to Bank of America during fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2021, which the Company partially guarantees. The outstanding balance of notes purchased by Bank of America at July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021 was $21.0 million and $16.5 million, respectively. Due to the structure of the transactions, the sales did not qualify for sale accounting treatment, as such the Company records the notes payable obligation owed by the IOs to the financial institution on its consolidated balance sheets; the corresponding note receivable also remained on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The maximum amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees equates to 25% of the outstanding loan balance on the first day of each calendar year plus 25% of the amount of any new loans issued during such calendar year. These loans are collateralized by the routes for which the loans are made. Accordingly, the Company has the ability to recover substantially all of the outstanding loan value upon default.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1. "Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
General
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. While the majority of our revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are not based on estimates, there are certain accounting principles that require management to make estimates regarding matters that are uncertain and susceptible to change. Critical accounting policies are defined as those policies that are reflective of significant judgments, estimates and uncertainties, which could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Management regularly reviews the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements for reasonableness and adequacy. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1. "Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; however, the following discussion pertains to accounting policies we believe are most critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require significant, difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Other companies in similar businesses may use different estimation policies and methodologies, which may affect the comparability of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows to those of other companies.
Revenue Recognition
Our revenues primarily consist of the sale of salty snack items that are sold through DSD and Direct-To-Warehouse distribution methods, either directly to retailers or via distributors. We sell to supermarkets, mass merchandisers, club warehouses, convenience stores and other large-scale retailers, merchants, distributors, brokers, wholesalers, and IOs (which are third party businesses). These revenue contracts generally have a single performance obligation, and the Company recognizes revenue when such obligation is satisfied, as described below. Revenue, which includes shipping and handling charges billed to the customer, is reported net of variable consideration and consideration payable to customers, including applicable discounts, returns, allowances, trade promotion, consumer coupon redemption, unsaleable product, and other costs. Amounts billed and due from customers are classified as receivables and require payment on a short-term basis and, therefore, we do not have any significant financing components.

We recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the goods to customers. Control is transferred upon delivery of the goods to the customer. Shipping and/or handling costs that occur before the customer obtains control of the goods are deemed to be fulfillment activities and are accounted for as fulfillment costs. Applicable shipping and handling are included in customer billing and are recorded as revenue as products’ control is transferred to customers. We assess the goods promised in customers’ purchase orders and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer a good that is distinct.
We offer various forms of trade promotions and the methodologies for determining these provisions are dependent on local customer pricing and promotional practices, which range from contractually fixed percentage price reductions to provisions based on actual occurrence or performance. Our promotional activities are conducted either through the retail trade or directly with consumers and include activities such as in store displays and events, feature price discounts, consumer coupons, and loyalty programs. The costs of these activities are recognized at the time the related revenue is recorded, which normally precedes the actual cash expenditure. The recognition of these costs therefore requires management judgment regarding the volume of promotional offers that will be redeemed by either the retail trade or consumer. These estimates are made using various techniques including historical data on performance of similar promotional programs. In 2019, we implemented a system that improves our ability to analyze and estimate the reserve for unpaid costs relating to our promotional activities. Differences between estimated expense and actual redemptions are recognized as a change in management estimate as the actual redemption incurred.
Distribution Route Purchase and Sale Transactions
We purchase and sell distribution routes as a part of our maintenance of our DSD network. As new IOs are identified, we either sell our existing routes to the IOs or sell routes that were previously purchased by us to the IOs. Gain/loss from the sale of a distribution route is recorded upon the completion of the sale transaction and signing of the relevant documents and is calculated based on the difference between the sale price of the distribution route and the asset carrying value of the distribution route as of the date of sale. We record intangible assets for distribution routes that we purchase based on the payment that we make to acquire the route and record the purchased distribution routes as indefinite-lived intangible assets under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The indefinite lived intangible assets are subject to annual impairment testing.

43


Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangibles
We allocate the cost of acquired companies to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the remaining amount classified as goodwill. The identification and valuation of these intangible assets and the determination of the estimated useful lives at the time of acquisition, as well as the completion of impairment tests, require significant management judgments and estimates. These estimates are made based on, among other factors, review of projected future operating results and business plans, economic projections, anticipated highest and best use of future cash flows and the cost of capital. The use of alternative estimates and assumptions could increase or decrease the estimated fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and potentially result in a different impact to our results of operations. Further, changes in business strategy and/or market conditions may significantly impact these judgments and thereby impact the fair value of these assets, which could result in an impairment of the goodwill or intangible assets.
Finite-lived intangible assets consist of distribution/customer relationships, technology, trademarks and non-compete agreements. These assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. Finite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment only when management has determined that potential impairment indicators are present.
Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets (including trade names, master distribution rights and Company owned routes) are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances change that indicate impairment may have occurred. We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level.
As we have early adopted Accounting Standards Update 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, we will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over our fair value.
ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets also permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment tests for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. If an entity believes, as a result of each qualitative assessment, it is more likely than not that goodwill or an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not impaired, a quantitative impairment test is not required.
We have identified the existing snack food operations as our sole reporting unit. For the qualitative analysis performed, which took place on the first day of the fourth quarter, we have taken into consideration all the events and circumstances listed in FASB ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, in addition to other entity-specific factors that have taken place from the period of the business combination which assessed goodwill on August 28, 2020. We have determined that there was no significant impact that affected the fair value of the reporting unit.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method of ASC 740, Income Taxes, which require us to recognize current tax liabilities or receivables for the amount of taxes we estimate are payable or refundable for the current year, and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases of assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period enacted. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible.
We follow the provisions of ASC 740-10 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements.

ASC 740-10 prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns.
44


The benefit of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in our income tax returns is recognized in the financial statements if such positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits”. A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carryover or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740-10. Interest costs and related penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated, if applicable. Our policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as selling and administrative expenses. As of July 4, 2021, and January 3, 2021, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. We do not expect any significant changes in our unrecognized tax benefits in the next year.
Business Combinations
We evaluate acquisitions of assets and other similar transactions to assess whether or not the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If the screen is met, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If the screen is not met, further determination is required as to whether or not we have acquired inputs and processes that have the ability to create outputs which would meet the definition of a business. Significant judgment is required in the application of the screen test to determine whether an acquisition is a business combination or an acquisition of assets.
We use the acquisition method in accounting for acquired businesses. Under the acquisition method, our financial statements reflect the operations of an acquired business starting from the completion of the acquisition. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
Self-Insurance
We are primarily self-insured, up to certain limits, for employee group health claims. We purchase stop-loss insurance, which will reimburse us for individual and aggregate claims in excess of certain annual established limits. Operations are charged with the cost of claims reported and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported.
We are primarily self-insured through large deductible insurance plans for automobile, general liability and workers’ compensation. We have utilized a number of different insurance vehicles and programs for these insurable risks and recognizes expenses and reserves in accordance with the provisions of each insurance vehicle/program.

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

Unregistered Sales

On May 2, 2018, the Company issued 2,875,000 Founder Shares in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000. On September 7, 2018, the Company effected a share capitalization resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 10,937,500 Founder Shares. On September 10, 2018, the Sponsor transferred 45,000, 45,000, 52,500 and 52,500 Founder Shares to each of Antonio F. Fernandez, Matthew M. Mannelly, William D. Toler and Craig D. Steeneck, respectively, the Company’s independent director nominees. On October 4, 2018, the Company effected a share capitalization resulting in an aggregate of 12,375,000 Founder Shares. Of these, the Sponsor owned an aggregate of 12,180,000 Class B ordinary shares (up to 1,500,000 of which were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor for no consideration after the closingfiling of the Initial Public Offering depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised) and the independent director nominees owned an aggregate of 195,000 Class B ordinary shares. On October 10, 2018, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option; thus, an aggregate of 1,000,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture, and the remaining 500,000 Founder Shares were subsequently surrendered to the Company by the Sponsor for no consideration on October 19, 2018. The sale of the Founder Shares was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 7,200,000 whole Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per whole warrant in a Private Placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. The Private Placement Warrants are substantially similar to the warrants underlying the Units issued in the Initial Public Offering, except that they are non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination. The sale of the Private Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Form 10-K/A.


Use of Proceeds

On October 10, 2018, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 44,000,000 Units, including the issuance of 4,000,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $440 million. Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $431,200,000 (which amount includes $15,400,000 of the underwriters’ deferred discount) was placed in the Trust Account.

There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from such use as described in the Company’s final prospectus (File No. 333-227295), dated October 4, 2018, which was declared effective by the SEC on October 4, 2018.
