The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices of the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all of the normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 26, 201825, 2019 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three fiscal quarters ended June 26, 201825, 2019 and June 27, 2017.26, 2018. Operating results for the three fiscal quarters ended June 26, 201825, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 25, 2018.24, 2019. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 26, 201725, 2018 is derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2017.25, 2018.

 

Fiscal Year – The Company’s fiscal year is a 52/53-week year ending on the last Tuesday of September. In a 52-week fiscal year, each of the Company’s quarterly periods consist of 13 weeks. The additional week in a 53-week fiscal year is added to the first quarter, making such quarter consist of 14 weeks. Neither 2018 or 2019 had a quarter with 14 weeks.

 

Advertising Costs – We utilize Advertising Funds to administer certain advertising programs for both the Bad Daddy’s and Good Times and Bad Daddy’s brands that benefit both us and our franchisees.   We and our franchisees are required to contribute a percentage of gross sales to the fund.  As the contributions to these funds are designated and segregated for advertising, we act as an agent for the franchisees with respect to these contributions.advertising. We consolidate the Advertising Funds into our financial statements on a net basis, whereby contributions from franchisees, when received, are recorded and included as offsetsa component of franchise revenues.  As we intend to reportedutilize all of the advertising expenses.contributions towards advertising expenditures, we recognize costs equal to franchisee contributions to the advertising funds on a quarterly basis. Contributions to the Advertising Funds from our franchisees were $264,000$240,000 and $271,000$263,000 for the first three quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Note 2.Revenue

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issuedRevenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606), which was subsequently amended by several Accounting Standards Updates. These new or updated standards expanded the disclosure requirements related to revenue and revenue recognition. The Company adopted Topic 606 in the first quarter of its 2019 fiscal year and applied the guidance retrospectively to the prior periods presented. Topic 606 primarily impacts the accounting presentation of the Company’s advertising contribution funds. Because advertising expenses are incurred within the respective year in which contributions are recorded, there was no change to the consolidated balance sheet, however for the first three fiscal quarters of 2018 franchise revenues and 2017, respectively.advertising costs are each $263,000 greater than originally presented, and for the first three fiscal quarters of 2019 franchise revenues and advertising costs are each $240,000 greater than would have been reflected under the former presentation.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues consist primarily of sales from restaurant operations and franchise revenue, which includes franchisee royalties and contributions to advertising funds. Revenues associated with gift card breakage are immaterial to our financials. The Company recognizes revenue, pursuant to the new and updated standards, when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer, typically a restaurant customer or a franchisee/licensee.

The Company recognizes revenues in the form of restaurant sales at the time of the sale when payment is made by the customer, as the Company has completed its performance obligation, namely the provision of food and beverage, and the accompanying customer service, during the customer’s visit to the restaurant. The Company sells gift cards to customers and recognizes revenue from gift cards primarily in the form of restaurant revenue. Gift Card breakage, which is recognized when the likelihood of a gift card being redeemed is remote, is determined based upon the Company’s historic redemption patterns, and is immaterial to our overall financial statements.

 

Table of Contents

Revenues we receive from our franchise and license agreements include sales-based royalties, and from our franchise agreements also may include advertising fund contributions, area development fees, and franchisee fees. We recognize sales-based royalties from franchisees and licensees as the underlying sales occur. We similarly recognize advertising fund contributions from franchisees as the underlying sales occur. The Company also provides its franchisees with services associated with opening new restaurants and operating them under franchise and development agreements in exchange for area development and franchise fees. The Company would capitalize these fees upon receipt from the franchisee and then would amortize those over the contracted franchise term as the services comprising the performance obligations are satisfied. We have not received material development or franchise fees in the years presented, and the primary performance obligations under existing franchise and development agreements have been satisfied prior to the earliest period presented in our financial statements.

Note 4.Note 3.Common Stock

 

On January 26, 2015, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") which was declared effective by the SEC on March 25, 2015. The registration statement allows the Company to issue common stock from time to time up to an aggregate amount of $75 million, of which $22,688,052 has been issued.

 

Note 5.Note 4.Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company has traditionally maintained incentive compensation plans that include provision for the issuance of equity-based awards. The Company established the 2008 Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan in 2008 (the “2008 Plan”). The Company and has outstanding awards that were issued awards under the 2008 Plan. Subsequently, the 2008 Plan expired in 2018 and the Company established a new plan, the 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) during the third fiscal quarter of 2018, pursuant to shareholder approval. Future awards will be issued under the 2018 plan.

 

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the grant). The company recognizes the impact of forfeitures as forfeitures occur.

 

Our net loss for the three quarters ended June 25, 2019 and June 26, 2018 includes $331,000 and June 27, 2017 includes $303,000, and $609,000, respectively, of compensation costs related to our stock-based compensation arrangements.

 

Stock Option awards

 

The Company measures the compensation cost associated with stock option awards by estimating the fair value of the award as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company believes that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair values of the Company’s stock options and stock awards granted during the first three fiscal quarters ended June 26, 2018.25, 2019. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by the employees who receive equity awards.

 

During the three quarters ended June 25, 2019, the Company granted a total of 99,832 incentive stock options, from available shares under its 2018 Plan, with exercise prices between $4.66 and $5.00 and per-share weighted average fair values between $2.68 and $3.16.

During the three quarters ended June 26, 2018, the Company granted a total of 18,274 incentive stock options, from available shares under its 2008 Plan, as amended, with an exercise prices between $2.70 and $2.73 and per-share weighted average fair values between $1.65 and $1.95. The Company did not issue any stock options under the 2018 plan during the three quarters ended June 26, 2018.

During the three quarters ended June 27, 2017, the Company granted a total of 151,834 incentive stock options, from available shares under its 2008 Plan, as amended, with exercise prices between $3.05 and $3.15 and per-share weighted average fair values between $2.17 and $2.30.

 

In addition to the exercise and grant date prices of the stock option awards, certain weighted average assumptions that were used to estimate the fair value of stock option grants are listed in the following table:

Expected dividends 0 0  -   - 

 

We estimate expected volatility based on historical weekly price changes of our common stock for a period equal to the current expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States treasury yields in effect at the time of grant corresponding with the expected term of the options. The expected option term is the number of years we estimate that options will be outstanding prior to exercise considering vesting schedules and our historical exercise patterns.

On September 11, 2017,February 21, 2019 the Cadence Credit Facility was amended, in connection with the RGWP Repurchase (see note 11), to increaseretroactively attribute EBITDA previously attributed to non-controlling interests to the loan maximum to $12,000,000 and extendCompany for purposes of certain financial covenants. As amended by the maturity date to December 31, 2020. Thevarious amendments, the Cadence Credit Facility accrues commitment fees on the daily unused balance of the facility at a rate of 0.25%. All borrowings under the Cadence Credit Facility, as amended, bear interest at a variable rate based upon the Company’s election of (i) 3.0%2.5% plus the base rate, which is the highest of the (a) Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (b) the Cadence bank publicly-announced prime rate, and (c) LIBOR plus 1.0%, or (ii) LIBOR, with a 0.125%0.250% floor, plus 4.0%3.5%.

Note 7.Note 6.Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

Our basic earnings per share calculation is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Our diluted earnings per share calculation is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued. Potentially dilutive securities for this calculation consist of in-the-money outstanding stock options, restricted stock grantsunits and warrants (which were assumed to have been exercised at the average market price of the common shares during the reporting period). The treasury stock method is used to measure the dilutive impact of in-the-money stock options.

 

The following table reconciles basic weighted-average shares outstanding to diluted weighted-average shares outstanding:

Note 8.Note 7.Contingent Liabilities and Liquidity

 

We remain contingently liable on various leases underlying restaurants that were previously sold to franchisees. We have never experienced any losses related to these contingent lease liabilities, however if a franchisee defaults on the payments under the leases, we would be liable for the lease payments as the assignor or sub-lessor of the lease. Currently we have not been notified nor are we aware of any leases in default by the franchisees, however there can be no assurance that there will not be in the future which could have a material effect on our future operating results.

 

Additionally, in the normal course of business, there may be various claims in process, matters in litigation, and other contingencies brought against the company by employees, vendors, customers, franchisees, or other parties. Evaluating these contingencies is a complex process that may involve substantial judgment on the potential outcome of such matters, and the ultimate outcome of such contingencies may differ from our current analysis. We review the adequacy of accruals and disclosures related to such contingent liabilities in consultation with legal counsel. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these claims with certainty, it is management’s opinion that potential losses associated with such contingencies would be immaterial to our financial statements.

Note 9.Note 8.Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

 

Long-Lived Assets.We review our long-lived assets for impairment, including land, property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the capitalized costs of the assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets and the expected cash flows are based on recent historical cash flows at the restaurant level (the lowest level that cash flows can be determined).

 

On January 30, 2018 the Company closed one Good Times restaurant in Aurora, Colorado. A non-cash impairment charge of $219,000 related to this restaurant was previously taken in the fiscal year ended September 26, 2017 and no additional loss from disposal of assets has been subsequently recognized in the current year, nor is any additional loss expected. The Company is currently marketing the property and intends to sublease the property to a suitable tenant over the approximate 17-year remaining term of the lease. The company expects to be able to sublease this property at or above its contractual lease rate but does not expect such sublease commencement until the end of fiscal 2018. As such, weWe recorded accretion expense recognized as non-cash rent of approximately $48,000 in the fiscal year ended September 25, 2018, and approximately $73,000 in the three quarters ended June 25, 2019, reflecting the expected fair value of future lease costs, net of sublease income, associated with the closing of this restaurant. Subsequent to the end of the fiscal third quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a sublease agreement whereby the Company, upon lease commencement subject to due diligence provisions, will receive sublease income substantially equal to its cash lease costs associated with this location.

Given the results of our analysis at March 27, 2018, we identified one restaurant where the expected future cash flows would not be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the associated assets. This restaurant, an additional Good Times restaurant in Aurora, Colorado, was closed on April 22, 2018. We recorded a non-cash charge of $72,000 related to the impairment of this restaurant during the quarter ending March 27, 2018. No additional loss from disposal of assets is expected associated with this property. Prior to its closure, on April 6, 2018, the companyCompany entered into a sublease of this property, the terms of which will provide sublease income substantially equal to the lease costs over the approximate 5 remaining years of the lease.

 

Trademarks.Trademarks have been determined to have an indefinite life. We evaluate our trademarks for impairment annually and on an interim basis as events and circumstances warrant by comparing the fair value of the trademarks with their carrying amount. There was no impairment required to the acquired trademarks as of June 26, 201825, 2019 and June 27, 2017.26, 2018.

 

Goodwill.Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of the assets of businesses the Company acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather, the Company is required to test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or whenever indications of impairment arise. The Company considers its operations to be comprised of two reporting units: (1) Good Times restaurants and (2) Bad Daddy’s restaurants. As of June 26, 2018,25, 2019, the Company had $96,000 of goodwill associated withattributable to the Good Times reporting unit and $15,054,000 of goodwill associated withattributable to its Bad Daddy’s reporting unit. No goodwill impairment charges were recognized as of June 26, 201825, 2019 and June 27, 2017.26, 2018.

 

Note 10.Note 9.Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes using the liability method, whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value. The deferred tax assets are reviewed periodically for recoverability and valuation allowances are adjusted as necessary.

 

The Company has significant net operating loss carry-forwards from prior years and incurred additional net operating losses during the three quarters ended June 26, 201825, 2019 and June 27, 2017.26, 2018. These losses resulted in an increase in the related deferred tax assets; however, valuation allowances were provided which reduced these deferred tax assets to zero; therefore, no income tax provision or benefit was recognized for the three quarters ended June 26, 201825, 2019 and June 27, 201726, 2018 resulting in an effective income tax rate of 0% for both periods.

 

The Company is subject to taxation in various jurisdictions within the U.S. The Company continues to remain subject to examination by U.S. federal authorities for the years 20142016 through 2017.2018. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. No accrual for interest and penalties was considered necessary as of June 26, 2018.25, 2019.

 

On December 22, 2017 the U.S. government enacted legislation that has been commonly referred to as the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act significantly revises the future ongoing U.S. corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering U.S. corporate income tax rates and implementing a territorial tax system. As 100% of our current operations, and our operations for the foreseeable future are conducted within the U.S., the changes with respect to treatment of earnings outside of the U.S. will have no impact on our financial statements. In addition to the change in the corporate income tax rate and changes related to foreign source income, the Tax Act makes changes to the deductibility of certain items, such as meals provided to employees; and changes that allow for accelerated depreciation of certain capital expenditures. Due to a combination of the current full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, as well as a significant Net Operating Loss carryforward, we do not believe that the legislative changes enacted by the Tax Act will have a material impact on our financial statements.

Note 11.Note 10.Non-controlling Interests

 

Non-controlling interests are presented as a separate item in the stockholders’ equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The amount of consolidated net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests is presented on the face of the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions, while changes in ownership interest that do result in deconsolidation of a subsidiary require gain or loss recognition based on the fair value on the deconsolidation date.

10

 

The equity interests of the unrelated limited partners and members are shown on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in the stockholders’ equity section as a non-controlling interest and is adjusted each period to reflect the limited partners’ and members’ share of the net income or loss as well as any cash contributions or distributions to or from the limited partners and members for the period. The limited partners’ and members’ share of the net income or loss in the subsidiary is shown as non-controlling interest income or expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. All inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated.

 

On February 6, 2019, the Company concurrently entered into and closed on a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with RGWP, LLC (the “RGWP Repurchase”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire all of the remaining membership interests of three entities to which the Company is already a party to and already owned a controlling interest: Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar of Seaboard LLC, Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar of Cary, LLC, and BDBB of Olive Park NC, LLC. The purchase price was approximately $3.0 million. These entities own and operate three Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar restaurants in the greater Raleigh, NC market. The purchase agreement contains various representations, warranties, and covenants of the Seller that are customary in transactions of this nature.

The RGWP Repurchase resulted in a $788,000 reduction in non-controlling interests, an increase to non-compete agreements of $50,000 and a $2,171,000 reduction in additional paid in capital.

The following table summarizes the activity in non-controlling interests during the three quartersquarter ended June 26, 2018 (in thousands):25, 2019:

Six of the seven Bad Daddy’s joint-venture partnerships were established prior to the beginning of fiscal 2018 to fund the construction of Bad Daddy’s restaurants in North Carolina. Two of these six restaurants opened in fiscal 2017 and one opened during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. One of the Bad Daddy’s joint-venture partnerships was established in fiscal 2018 to fund the construction of a Bad Daddy’s restaurant in Greensboro, North Carolina which opened on July 16, 2018.restaurants.

 

Note 12.Note 11.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2016,May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” (ASU 2016-09). ASU 2016-09 includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The areas for simplification include income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.” This pronouncement provides clarity in guidance in the instance of a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. Both pronouncements are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company adopted both ASUs effective with its 2018 fiscal year; such adoption did not have material impact on our financial position or results from operations.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue“Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” This update was issued to replace the current revenue recognition guidance, creating a more comprehensive five-step model. In March 2016, the FASB issued No. ASU 2016-04, “Liabilities – Extinguishments of Liabilities: Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products.” This pronouncement provides guidance for the derecognition of prepaid stored-value product liabilities, consistent with the breakage guidance in Topic 606. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect that theadopted these ASUs effective as of September 26, 2018. The adoption of these new standards willdid not have a material impact to our revenue recognition related to company-ownedCompany-owned restaurant sales, recognition of royalty fees from our franchise agreement, or impact from recognition of gift card breakage. As discussed in Note 2 and further described below, the adoption of this standard did have an impact on the presentation of advertising fund contributions from our franchises. Prior to the adoption of these new standards, we accounted for advertising expenses net of advertising contributions from our franchisees. Subsequently, as described in Notes 1 and 2, we now account for franchisee advertising contributions as a component of franchise revenue. Because advertising expenses are incurred within the respective year in which contributions are recorded, there was no change to the consolidated balance sheet, however for the first three fiscal quarters of 2018 franchise revenues and advertising costs are each $263,000 greater than originally presented, and for the first three fiscal quarters of 2019 franchise revenues and advertising costs are each $240,000 greater than would have been reflected under the former presentation.

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases“Leases (Topic 842)”, (ASU 2016-02), which replaces the existing guidance in Accounting Standard Codification 840, Leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-02 This pronouncement requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee would account for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance leases and operating leases will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. The Company is currently assessingSubsequently FASB has issued several other Accounting Standards Updates, including ASU 2018-11 and ASU 2018-12, which among other things provide for a practical expedient related to the impact thatrecognition of the cumulative effective on retained earnings resulting from the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operationsthe pronouncements. We expect to adopt these ASU’s effective September 25, 2019 and expect that itthe adoption of these standards will result in a significant increase in our long-term assets and liabilities given we have a significant number of leases.

 

13 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles“Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which eliminates Step 2 from the impairment test applied to goodwill. Under the new standard, goodwill impairment tests will compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill. This pronouncement is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied on a prospective basis. We do not expect thatadopted this ASU effective as of the quarter-end March 26, 2019. The adoption of thisthe new standard willdid not have a material impact on our financial position or results from operations.

 

Note 13.11

Note 12.Subsequent Events

 

On June 22, 2018, the Company commenced a tender offer related to a one-time option exchange that was approved by the shareholders at the Company’s 2018 annual meeting. As described in Note 4, we account for share-based payments in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC Topic 718”). This option exchange would be subject to modification accounting under ASC Topic 718, including the provisions of ASU 2017-09, and we would recognize incremental compensation expense, if any, resulting from the Replacement Options granted in the Option Exchange. This Option Exchange is intended to be materially “cost neutral” from an accounting standpoint.  To be cost neutral, the value of the stock options surrendered as calculated immediately prior to their surrender must be approximately equal to the value of the new stock options received by employees and directors in the Option Exchange.  We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of all stock options granted to employees and directors and have used that model in constructing the provisions of the Option Exchange.  The tender offer period concluded on July 23, 2018, and as the final inputs to the pricing model resulted in lower implied values for the replacement options than for the surrendered options, we expect to recognize no stock compensation expense related to this transaction.None.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This Form 10-Q contains or incorporates by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the disclosure of risk factors in the Company’s form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2017.25, 2018. Also, documents subsequently filed by us with the SEC and incorporated herein by reference may contain forward-looking statements. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements made by us are not guarantees of future performance and actual results could differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to the following:

 

(I)We compete with numerous well-established competitors who have substantially greater financial resources and longer operating histories than we do. Competitors have increasingly offered selected food items and combination meals, including hamburgers, at discounted prices, and continued discounting by competitors may adversely affect revenues and profitability of Company restaurants.

 

(II)We may be negatively impacted if we experience same store sales declines. Same store sales comparisons will be dependent, among other things, on the success of our advertising and promotion of new and existing menu items. No assurances can be given that such advertising and promotions will in fact be successful.

 

14 

We may also be negatively impacted by other factors common to the restaurant industry such as: changes in consumer tastes away from red meat and fried foods; increases in the cost of food, paper, labor, health care, workers' compensation or energy; inadequate number of hourly paid employees; and/or decreases in the availability of affordable capital resources. We caution the reader that such risk factors are not exhaustive, particularly with respect to future filings. For further discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2017.25, 2018.

Results of Operations

The following presents certain historical financial information of our operations. This financial information includes results for our first three fiscal quarters ended June 26, 2018 and June 27, 2017.

Net Revenues.Net revenuesBad Daddy’s restaurant sales increased $3,315,000 to $21,080,000 for the quarter ended June 26, 2018 increased $4,473,000 or 20.6% to $26,175,00025, 2019 from $21,702,000 for the quarter ended June 27, 2017. Bad Daddy’s concept revenues increased $4,790,000 while our Good Times concept revenues decreased $317,000.

Good Times restaurant sales decreased $321,000 to $8,225,000 for the quarter ended June 26, 2018 from $8,546,000 for the quarter ended June 27, 2017. Good Times same store restaurant sales increased 3.8% during the quarter ended June 26, 2018 compared to the same prior-year quarter. To align Good Times’ same store sales calculations with same store sales calculations for Bad Daddy’s, beginning in fiscal 2018 Good Times restaurants are included in the same store sales calculation after they have been open a full eighteen months. Offsetting the same store sales increase restaurant sales decreased $300,000 from the same prior-year quarter due to one restaurant that is not included in same store sales that opened in March 2017 and decreased $310,000 due to two restaurants that were closed in January and April of 2018. The average menu price increase for the quarter ended June 26, 2018 over the same prior-year quarter was approximately 4.9%. Franchise revenues increased $4,000 for the quarter ended June 26, 2018 due to an increase in franchise fees offset by a decrease in restaurant sales at the franchise locations.

Bad Daddy’s restaurant sales increased $4,793,000 to $17,765,000 for the quarter ended June 26, 2018, from $12,972,000 for the quarter ended June 27, 2017, primarily attributable to the six new restaurants opened insubsequent to the third fiscal 2017 and the five new restaurants opened in the first three fiscal quartersquarter of 2018. Bad Daddy’s same store restaurant sales increased 0.5%decreased 0.7% during the quarter ended June 26, 201825, 2019 compared to the same prior-year quarter.

Bad Daddy’s restaurants are included in same store sales after they have been open a full eighteen months. Comparable sales are calculated excluding weeks during which restaurants are closed for major remodels. The average menu price increase for the three quarters ended June 25, 2019 over the same prior-year period was approximately 2.2%. There were twenty-four restaurants included in the same store sales base at the end of the quarter. Franchise revenues increased $3,000 for the three quarters ended June 25, 2019 compared to the same prior-year period. The current and prior year periods include franchise advertising contributions of $11,000 and $12,000, respectively.

Good Times restaurant sales decreased $1,656,000 to $21,567,000 for the three quarters ended June 25, 2019 from $23,223,000 for the three quarters ended June 26, 2018. Good Times same store restaurant sales decreased 3.1% during the three quarters ended June 25, 2019 compared to the same prior-year period. Good Times sales were negatively affected in the first two fiscal quarters of 2019 by abnormally cold and wet weather in Colorado. To align Good Times’ same store sales calculations with same store sales calculations for Bad Daddy’s, beginning in fiscal 2018 Good Times restaurants are included in the same store sales calculation after they have been open a full eighteen months. Restaurant sales decreased $636,000 due to two restaurants that were closed in January and April of 2018, restaurant sales also decreased $287,000 due to one restaurant that was closed for most of the third fiscal quarter for a remodel. The average menu price increase for the three quarters ended June 25, 2019 over the same prior-year period was approximately 3.5%.

Food and Packaging Costs. Food and packaging costs for the three quarters ended June 25, 2019 increased $1,801,000 to $23,955,000 (29.5% of restaurant sales) from $22,154,000 (30.8% of restaurant sales) for the three quarters ended June 26, 2018. This $131,000 increase is primarily due to a greater number of joint-ventureoperating restaurants during the current period versus the same period in the prior year.

Bad Daddy’s food and packaging costs were $17,136,000 (28.7% of restaurant sales) for the three quarters ended June 25, 2019, up from $14,539,000 (29.9% of restaurant sales) for the three quarters ended June 26, 2018. This increase is primarily due to a greater number of operating restaurants during the current period versus the same period in the prior year. The decline as a percent of sales is primarily due to a combination of higher menu prices, combined with lower costs of proteins, primarily beef.

Good Times food and packaging costs were $6,819,000 (31.6% of restaurant sales) for the three quarters ended June 25, 2019, down from $7,615,000 (32.8% of restaurant sales) for the three quarters ended June 26, 2018. In addition to the factors affecting the quarter ending June 25, 2019, current year food and packaging costs at Good Times were favorably affected by the increased discounting of kid’s meals that was in place during the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

Payroll and Other Employee Benefit Costs. Payroll and other employee benefit costs for the three quarters ended June 25, 2019 increased $4,382,000 to $30,458,000 (37.5% of restaurant sales) from $26,076,000 (36.3% of restaurant sales) for the three quarters ended June 26, 2018.

Bad Daddy’s payroll and other employee benefit costs were $22,502,000 (37.7% of restaurant sales) for the three quarters ended June 25, 2019 up from $18,002,000 (37.0% of restaurant sales) in the same prior year period. The $4,500,000 increase was primarily attributable to the nine new restaurants opened during fiscal 2018 and two new restaurants opened during the three quarters ended June 25, 2019. As a percent of sales, payroll and employee benefits costs increased by 0.7%, the result of increased wages for back of house staff in all states due to a competitive market for workers and statutory wage increases for front-of-house employees in Colorado, which in total exceeded the impact of our year-over-year menu price increases.

Good Times payroll and other employee benefit costs were $7,956,000 (36.9% of restaurant sales) in the three quarters ended June 25, 2019, down from $8,074,000 (34.8% of restaurant sales) in the same prior year period. Payroll and other employee benefit costs decreased $335,000 from the same prior-year quarters due two stores that were closed in January and April of 2018 and one store that was closed for most of the third fiscal quarter for a remodel. The decrease was offset by an increase in payroll and other employee benefit costs of $217,000 primarily due to the average wage paid to our employees. The average wage increased approximately 10.5% in the three quarters ended June 25, 2019 compared to the same prior year period. This average wage increase is attributable to a very competitive labor market in Colorado and statutory increases in the minimum wage rate.

Occupancy Costs. Occupancy costs for the three quarters ended June 25, 2019 increased $943,000 to $6,221,000 (7.7% of restaurant sales) from $5,278,000 (7.3% of restaurant sales) for the three quarters ended June 26, 2018.

The $908,000 increase was primarily attributable to the nine new restaurants opened in fiscal 2018 and two new restaurants opened in the three quarters ended June 25, 2019.

Good Times occupancy costs were $2,199,000 (10.2% of restaurant sales) in the three quarters ended June 25, 2019, up from $2,164,000 (9.3% of restaurant sales) in the same prior year period. The $35,000 increase was primarily attributable to an increase in property taxes and common area costs compared to the same prior year period, and the increase as a percentage of sales is due to the deleveraging impact of lower average unit volumes.

Other Operating Costs. Other operating weekscosts for the three quarters ended June 25, 2019, increased $1,775,000 to $8,401,000 (10.3% of restaurant sales) from $6,626,000 (9.2% of restaurant sales) for the three quarters ended June 26, 2018.

The $1,825,000 increase was primarily attributable to the nine new restaurants opened in fiscal 2018 and two new restaurants opened in the three quarters ended June 25, 2019. The percentage increase was primarily attributable to higher costs of general restaurant supplies and approximately $484,000 of increased commissions paid to delivery service providers in the current year which were not incurred in the prior year.

Good Times other operating costs were $1,841,000 (8.5% of restaurant sales) in the three quarters ended June 25, 2019, down from $1,891,000 (8.2% of restaurant sales) in the same prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to the two restaurants that closed in 2018. The increase as a percentage of sales is due to the deleveraging impact of lower average unit volumes.

New Store Preopening Costs. In the three quarters ended June 25, 2019, we incurred $949,000 of preopening costs compared to $1,683,000 for the three quarters ended June 26, 2018. All of the preopening costs are related to our Bad Daddy’s restaurants.

Preopening costs in the three quarters ended June 25, 2019 are primarily attributable to four restaurants that opened between the final fiscal quarter of 2018 and third fiscal quarter of 2019 as well as to two restaurants that will open later in fiscal 2019. In the prior-year period, pre-opening costs are related to the seven Bad Daddy’s restaurants opened between the first and fourth fiscal quarters of 2018.

Preopening costs typically occur over a period of approximately five months, although the exact timing varies by location. We typically spend approximately $275,000 to $350,000 per location.

Depreciation and Amortization Costs. Depreciation and amortization costs for the three quarters ended June 25, 2019, increased $562,000 to $3,227,000 from $2,665,000 in the three quarters ended June 26, 2018.

Bad Daddy’s depreciation and amortization costs were $2,542,000 for the three quarters ended June 25, 2019 up from $1,973,000 in the same prior year period. This increase was mainly attributable to the nine new restaurants opened in fiscal 2018 and two new restaurants opened in the three quarters ended June 25, 2019.

Good Times depreciation and amortization costs were $685,000 for the three quarters ended June 25, 2019 down from $692,000 in the same prior year period.

19 

General and Administrative Costs. General and administrative costs for the three quarters ended June 25, 2019, increased $514,000 to $6,398,000 (7.8% of total revenue) from $5,884,000 (8.1% of total revenues) for the three quarters ended June 26, 2018.

The $514,000 increase in general and administrative expenses in the three quarters ended June 25, 2019 is primarily attributable to:

·Increase in salaries, wages, and employee benefit costs associated with manager training of $305,000
·Decrease in shared services salaries, wages, and employee benefit costs of $106,000
·Increase in costs associated with district management of $183,000, primarily related to additional district management for our east coast Bad Daddy’s markets, partially offset by a reduction in the Colorado market costs for our Good Times locations
·Increase in training and recruiting costs of $85,000
·Decrease in professional fees, director’s fees and financial relations of $111,000 primarily attributable to costs in the prior year quarter for legal expenses related to the Company’s response to SEC filings by shareholders affiliated with two former directors, payments to departing directors pursuant to a settlement agreement with shareholders affiliated with two directors, and professional services associated with a one-time option exchange and the establishment of a new equity compensation plan to replace the former plan which had expired
·Increase in preliminary site costs of $37,000
·Increase in dues and subscriptions of $39,000 primarily due to a commodity contract management tool
·Net increases in all other expenses of $82,000

We expect total general and administrative costs will increase in support of additional Bad Daddy’s restaurants, particularly related to district management and manager training expenses, however we anticipate such costs will decrease as a percentage of revenue.

Advertising Costs. Advertising costs for the three quarters ended June 25, 2019, decreased $9,000 to $1,841,000 (2.2% of total revenue) from $1,850,000 (2.5% of total revenue) for the three quarters ended June 26, 2018. The decline as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to the growth of the Bad Daddy’s segment, which has lower advertising costs as a percentage of revenue compared to the Good Times segment.

Bad Daddy’s advertising costs were $654,000 (1.1% of total revenue) in the three quarters ended June 25, 2019 compared to $538,000 (1.1% of total revenue) in the same prior year period. The $116,000 increase was primarily attributable to the nine new restaurants opened during the final three quarters of fiscal 2018 and first two fiscal quarters of 2019, as well as a media buy during the first quarter of fiscal 2019 in Colorado that was not covered by the ad fund contributions. The current and prior year quarters include advertising costs of $11,000 and $12,000, respectively, of costs associated with franchise advertising contributions.

Good Times advertising costs were $1,187,000 (5.4% of total revenue) in the three quarters ended June 25, 2019 compared to $1,312,000 (5.5% of total revenue) in the same prior year period. This $125,000 decline is due primarily to reduced contributions to the advertising fund due to the two restaurants that closed during fiscal 2018 and lower sales among existing company- and franchisee-owned restaurants. The current and prior year quarters include advertising costs of $228,000 and $251,000, respectively, of costs associated with franchise advertising contributions.

Bad Daddy’s advertising costs consist primarily of contributions made to the advertising materials fund based on a percentage of restaurant sales as well as local store marketing efforts.

Advertising costs are presented gross, with franchisee contributions to the fund being recognized as a component of franchise revenues. As a percentage of total revenue, we expect advertising costs to remain relatively stable at approximately 5.5% of total revenue for the Good Times segment.

Franchise Costs. Franchise costs were $31,000 and $32,000 for the three quarters ended June 25, 2019 and June 26, 2018, respectively. The costs are primarily related to the Good Times franchised restaurants.

The loss of $5,000 in the current period is comprised of: 1) a $27,000 deferred gain related to previous sale lease-back transactions on two Good Times restaurants, 2) a gain of $21,000 related to insurance claim reimbursements where assets were destroyed, offset by 3) a $53,000 loss associated with the write down of assets no longer in use. The gain of $26,000 in the prior year period is related to deferred gains on previous sale lease-back transactions on two Good Times restaurants.

Income from Operations. Income from operations was $513,000 in the three quarters ended June 25, 2019 compared to income from operations of $413,000 in the three quarters ended June 26, 2018.

The change in income from operations for the quarter and year-to-date was due primarily to matters discussed in the "Net Revenues”, "Restaurant Operating Costs", “Asset Impairment Costs” and "General and Administrative Costs" sections above.

This $115,000 increase is due to an increase in joint venture store operating weeks due to two new joint venture restaurants opened during the final quarter of fiscal 2018, offset by the elimination of non-controlling interest beginning in the second fiscal quarter associated with the repurchase of interests associated with the three Raleigh area restaurants. Income for the current three quarters of $241,000 is attributable to the non-controlling partners in the Good Times joint-venture restaurants, compared to $266,000 in the same prior year period. $557,000 of the current three quarter’s income is attributable to the BDI joint-venture restaurants, compared to $233,000$297,000 in the same prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA

 

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA plus non-cash stock-based compensation expense, preopening expense, non-recurring acquisition costs, GAAP rent in excess of cash rent, and non-cash disposal of assets. Adjusted EBITDA is intended as a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and operating results. Our management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (i) as a factor in evaluating management's performance when determining incentive compensation and (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies.

19

 

We believe that the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company's financial measures with other fast casual restaurants, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. In addition, you should be aware when evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA that in the future we may incur expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies do not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same fashion.

 

Our management does not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. Some of these limitations are:

 

·Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
·Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
·Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;
·although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
·stock based compensation expense is and will remain a key element of our overall long-term incentive compensation package, although we exclude it as an expense when evaluating our ongoing performance for a particular period;
·Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and
·other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.as a supplemental measure. You should review the reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Cash and Working Capital

 

As of June 26, 2018,25, 2019, we had a working capital deficit of $2,824,000.$3,241,000. Our working capital position benefits from the fact that we generally collect cash from sales to customers the same day, or in the case of credit or debit card transactions, within severala few days of the related sale, and we typically have two to four weeks to pay our vendors. This benefitThe working capital deficit may increase when new Bad Daddy’s and Good Times restaurants are opened. We believe that with our ability to access the Cadence Bank credit facility in addition to cash flow generated from our existing restaurants, that we will have sufficient capital to meet our working capital, long term debt obligations and recurring capital expenditure needs in fiscal 2018.2019. As of June 26, 2018,25, 2019, we had total$1,487,000 of commitments outstanding of $1,379,000 related to construction contracts for four Bad Daddy’s restaurants currently under development. We anticipate these commitments will be funded out of existing cash or future borrowings against the Cadence Bank credit facility.

Contingencies

 

We remain contingently liable on various leases underlying restaurants that were previously sold to franchisees. We have never experienced any losses related to these contingent lease liabilities, however if a franchisee defaults on the payments under the leases, we would be liable for the lease payments as the assignor or sublessor of the lease. Currently we have not been notified nor are we aware of any leases in default under which we are contingently liable, however there can be no assurance that there will not be in the future, which could have a material effect on our future operating results.

 

Additionally, in the normal course of business, there may be various claims in process, matters in litigation, and other contingencies brought against the company by employees, vendors, customers, franchisees, or other parties. Evaluating these contingencies is a complex process that may involve substantial judgment on the potential outcome of such matters, and the ultimate outcome of such contingencies may differ from our current analysis. We review the adequacy of accruals and disclosures related to such contingent liabilities in consultation with legal counsel. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these claims with certainty, it is management’s opinion that potential losses associated with such contingencies would be immaterial to our financial statements.

Impact of Inflation

 

The total menu increases taken at our Bad Daddy’s restaurants during fiscal 2018 were approximately 3.2%. We have raised menu prices during the first three quarters of fiscal 2019 by approximately 1.6%. The total menu price increases at our Good Times restaurants during fiscal 20172018 were approximately 4.5%2.8%, and we have raised menu prices approximately 2.8%4.4% during the first three quarters of fiscal 2018. The total menu increases taken at our Bad Daddy’s restaurants during fiscal 2017 were approximately 2.9% on average. We raised menu prices2019. Commodity costs began to decline during the first three quartershalf of fiscal 2018 approximately 3.2%. Commodity costs rose significantlyand continued to decline into the first quarter of fiscal 2019, with relative stability during the final two fiscal quarters of 2017 but declined on a sequential basissecond and third quarters. We do not anticipate future price increases during the first tworemainder of fiscal quarters of 2018, less significantly for the Good Times concept where we have not experienced the same sequential and year-over-year declines in the cost of certified “all-natural” beef. When combined with anticipated menu price increases, we2019 but expect Good Times’ and Bad Daddy’s’ food and packaging costs to be relatively consistent or slightly elevated compared with the current quarter, as a percentage of sales duringfor the remainder of fiscal 2018.2019 to be relatively consistent with or slightly elevated compared to the current quarter.
