WAITR HOLDINGS INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

1. Organization

Waitr Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Waitr,” “we,” “us” and “our”), operates an online ordering technology platform, providing delivery, carryout and dine-in options, connecting restaurants, drivers and diners in cities across the United States. The Company’s technology platform includes the Waitr, Bite Squad and Delivery Dudes mobile applications, collectively referred to as the “Platforms”. The Platforms allow consumers to browse local restaurants and menus, track order and delivery status, and securely store previous orders for ease of use and convenience. Restaurants benefit from the online Platforms through increased exposure to consumers for expanded business in the delivery market and carryout sales.

Additionally, Waitr facilitates merchant access to third-party payment processing solution providers, pursuant to the acquisition of the Cape Payment Companies (as defined below) on August 25, 2021 (see Note 4Business Combinations).
2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as they apply to interim financial information. Accordingly, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make information not misleading. References to the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) included hereafter refer to the ASC and ASUs established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) as the source of authoritative GAAP.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 (the “2020“2021 Form 10-K”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in the Company’s opinion, include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year.

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company identified and corrected an immaterial error related to the understatement of an accrued medical contingency that affected previously issued consolidated financial statements. In order to present the impact of the updated estimated liability for the claim, previously issued financial statements have been revised. See Note 9 – Correction of Prior Period Error for additional details, including a summary of the revisions to certain previously reported financial information presented herein for comparative purposes.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and judgments relied upon in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements affect the following items:

incurred loss estimates under our insurance policies with large deductibles or retention levels;

incurred loss estimates under our insurance policies with large deductibles or retention levels;

loss exposure related to claims such as the Medical Contingency (see Note 9 – Correction of Prior Period Error);

loss exposure related to claims;

income taxes;

The Company regularly assesses these estimates and records changes to estimates in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considered the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt, resulting in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. The guidance also addresses how convertible instruments are accounted for in the diluted earnings per share calculation. ASU 2020-06 was effective for and adopted by the Company on January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a descriptionmaterial impact on the Company’s disclosures or consolidated financial statements.
Pending Accounting Standards
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle in ASC 805 by requiring companies to apply ASC 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. The guidance additionally clarifies that companies should apply the definition of a performance obligation in ASC 606 when recognizing contract liabilities assumed in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the provisions of ASU 2021-08 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Delivery Transaction Fees represent the revenue recognized from the Company’s obligation to process orders on the Platforms. The performance obligation is satisfied when the Company successfully processes an order placed on one of the Platforms and the restaurant receives the order at their location. The obligation to process orders on the Platforms represents a series of distinct performance obligations satisfied over time that the Company combines into a single performance obligation. Consistent with the recognition objective in ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the variable consideration due to the Company for processing orders is recognized on a daily basis. As an agent of the restaurant in the transaction, the Company recognizes Delivery Transaction Fees earned from the restaurant on the Platform on a net basis. Delivery Transaction Fees also include a fee charged to the end user customer when they request the order be delivered to their location. Revenue is recognized for diner fees once the delivery service is completed. The contract period for substantially all restaurant contracts is one month as both the Company and the restaurant have the ability to unilaterally terminate the contract by providing notice of termination.

Payment Processing Referral Fees
The Company also generates revenue by facilitating access to third-party payment processing solution providers. Revenue from such services primarily consists of residual payments received from third-party payment processing solution providers, based on the volume of transactions a payment processing solution provider performs for the merchant. The Company also occasionally receives a bonus up-front fee from third-party payment processing solution providers, paid at the time of a merchant’s initial transaction with a payment processing solution provider, based on a price specified in the agreement between the merchant and the payment processing solution provider.
Payment processing referral fees represent revenue recognized from the Company’s offering of referral services, connecting a merchant with a third-party payment processing service. The Company’s performance obligation in its contracts with payment processors is for an unknown or unspecified quantity of transactions and the consideration received is contingent upon the number of transactions submitted by the merchant and processed by the payment processor. Accordingly, the total transaction price is variable. The performance obligation is satisfied when the third-party payment processor finalizes the processing of a transaction through the payment system and transaction volume is available from the payment processor to the Company. Consistent with the recognition objective in ASC Topic 606, the variable consideration due to the Company for serving as the facilitator of the arrangement between the third-party payment processor and merchant is recognized on a daily basis. The Company is the agent in these arrangements as it establishes the relationship between the third-party payment processor and merchant, and thus, recognizes revenue on a net basis. The third-party payment processor is considered the customer of the Company as no direct contract exists between the merchant and the Company.

Accounts Receivable
The Company records a receivable when it has an unconditional right to the consideration. The balance ofSee Note 5 – Accounts Receivable, Net for additional details on the Company’s accounts receivable, net was $3,883 and $2,954 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, comprised primarily of receivables due from the credit card processor.

receivable.

Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer

The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a restaurant and recognizes the expense over the course of the period when the Company expects to recover those costs. The Company has determined that certain internal sales incentives earned at the time when an initial contract is executed meet these requirements. Capitalized sales incentives are amortized to sales and marketing expense on a straight-line basis over the period of benefit, which the Company has determined to be five years. The Company applies a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period would have been one year or less.

Deferred costs related to obtaining contracts with restaurants were $3,042$2,997 and $2,424$2,968 as of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, out of which $755$866 and $567,$818, respectively, was classified as current. Amortization of expense for the costs to obtain a contract were $173$208 and $94$149 for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively, and $322 and $147 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

TABLE_CONTENTS

Costs to Fulfill a Contract with a Customer

The Company also recognizes an asset for the costs to fulfill a contract with a restaurant when they are specifically identifiable, generate or enhance resources used to satisfy future performance obligations, and are expected to be recovered. The Company has determined that certain costs related to onboarding restaurants onto the Platforms meet the capitalization criteria under ASC Topic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs. Costs related to these implementation activities are deferred and then amortized to operations and support expense on a straight-line basis over the period of benefit, which the Company has determined to be five years.

Deferred costs related to fulfilling contracts with restaurants were $1,090$1,634 and $742$1,385 as of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, out of which $260$419 and $170,$352, respectively, was classified as current. Amortization of expense for the costs to fulfill a contract were $56$94 and $20$45 for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
4. Business Combinations
2021 Acquisitions
Cape Payment Acquisition
On August 25, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets and 2020, respectively,properties of ProMerchant LLC, Cape Cod Merchant Services LLC and $101Flow Payments LLC (collectively referred to herein as the “Cape Payment Companies”) (the “Cape Payment Acquisition”). The Cape Payment Companies facilitate merchant access to third-party payment processing solution providers and $35receive residual payments from the payment providers. The purchase price for the six months ended JuneCape Payment Companies consisted of $12,032 in cash and an aggregate of 2,564,103 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $1.24 per share (the closing price of the Company’s common stock on August 24, 2021). The Cape Payment Acquisition included an earnout provision which provided for a one-time payment to the sellers if the Cape Payment Companies exceed certain future revenue targets. The earnout provision, if any, is payable no later than March 30, 2023, and was valued at $1,686 as of the acquisition date. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the earnout provision was valued at $2,020 and 2020, respectively.

condensed consolidated financial statements. Throughout fiscal year 2020,statements beginning on the Company qualified as an “emerging growth company” pursuantacquisition date, August 25, 2021, and were immaterial. Pro forma results were deemed immaterial to the provisions of the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, the Company elected to use the extended transition period for complying with certain new or revised financial accounting standards provided pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Effective January 1, 2021, the Company is no longer an emerging growth company.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The principal objective of ASU 2016-02 is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing “right-of-use” lease assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 continues to retain a distinction between finance and operating leases but requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than twelve months. ASU 2016-02 was effective for and adopted by the Company on January 1, 2021. The Company applied the modified retrospective transition approach, with no adjustment to prior comparative periods. Accordingly, financial information is not adjusted and the disclosures required under ASU 2016-02 are not provided for periods prior to January 1, 2021.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company elected the optional practical expedient package, which includes retaining the current classification of leases, and is utilizing the practical expedient which allows the use of hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of its operating lease right-of-use assets. Additionally, the Company has elected to treat lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all assets. The Company has elected to apply the short-term scope exception for leases with original terms of twelve months or less, and accordingly, recognizes the lease payments for such leases in the statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

Under ASU 2016-02, the Company recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2021, lease liabilities for operating leases entered into prior to December 31, 2020 of $4,993, representing the present value of its future operating lease payments, and corresponding right-of-use assets of $4,681, based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for deferred rent. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date, which is estimated to be 5.0%. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment on retained earnings. See Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies for additional details.

Other

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles for income taxes and also improves consistent application by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 was effective for and adopted by the Company on January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures or consolidated financial statements.

TABLE_CONTENTS

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of ASU 2017-11 addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced based on the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of ASU 2017-11 addresses the difficulty of navigating ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in ASC 480. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. Part II of ASU 2017-11 does not have an accounting effect. ASU 2017-11 was effective for and adopted by the Company on January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2017-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures or consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 uses a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments and expands disclosure requirements. ASU 2016-13 was effective for and adopted by the Company on January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures or consolidated financial statements

Pending Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt, resulting in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. The guidance also addresses how convertible instruments are accounted for in the diluted earnings per share calculation. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the provisions of ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Delivery Dudes Acquisition
On March 11, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets and properties from Dude Holdings LLC (“Delivery Dudes”), a third-party delivery business primarily serving the South Florida market, for $11,500 in cash subject to certain purchase price adjustments, and 3,562,577 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $2.96 per share (the closing price of the Company’s common stock on March 11, 2021) (the “Delivery Dudes Acquisition”). In the second quarter of 2021, the Company adjusted the per share fair value of the stock consideration from $3.23 (the average volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the five consecutive trading days prior to March 9, 2021), down to the closing price of $2.96, resulting in a reduction of total consideration of $955 to $22,045. The acquisition expands the Company’s market presence in the on-demand delivery service sector. The following represents the preliminary estimated purchase consideration:

The Delivery Dudes Acquisition was considered a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, and was accounted for using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method of accounting, acquired assets and assumed liabilities are recorded based on their respective fair values on the acquisition date, with the excess of the consideration transferred in the acquisition over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired recorded as goodwill. The preliminary estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed consists of the following (in thousands):

The Company engaged a third-party specialist to assist management in estimating the fair value of the assets and liabilities. Goodwill is attributable to the future anticipated economic benefits from combining operations of the Company and Delivery Dudes, including future growth into new markets, future customer relationships and the workforce in place. All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.While the Company has substantially completed the determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company is still finalizing the calculation of the purchase price adjustments pursuant to the asset purchase agreement for the Delivery Dudes Acquisition, which could affect the final fair value analysis. The Company anticipates finalizing the determination of the fair values by the third quarter of 2021.

The following table sets forth the components of estimated identifiable intangible assets acquired from Delivery Dudes (in thousands) and their estimated useful lives as of the acquisition date:

The acquired identifiable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis to reflect the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed. The acquired customer relationships were valued using the income approach, specifically, the multi-period excess earnings method, which measures the after-tax cash flows attributable to the existing customer relationships after deducting the operating costs and contributory asset charges associated with economic rents associated with supporting the existing customer relationships. The franchise relationships were also valued using the multi-period excess earnings method. The acquired trade name was valued using the income approach, specifically, the relief from royalty rate method,which measures the cash flow streams attributable to the trade name in the form of royalty payments that would be paid to the owner of the trade name in return for the rights to use the trade name. Developed technology was valued based on the cost approach, specifically the “with & without” methodology which considers the direct replacement and opportunity costs associated with the underlying technology, and in-process research and development assets were valued using the replacement cost method. These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates at the time of the valuation.

The results of operations of Delivery Dudes are included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date, March 11, 2021. Revenue and net lossincome of Delivery Dudes included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in the three months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 totaled approximately $3,069$3,246 and $581, respectively,$254, respectively.

During the second and inthird quarters of 2021, the six months ended June 30, 2021 totaled approximately $3,900 and $602, respectively.

In connection with the Delivery Dudes Acquisition, the Company incurred direct and incremental costs of $63 and $669 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, consisting of legal and professional fees, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in such periods.

The Company subsequently acquired the assets of 36 Delivery Dudes franchisees in the quarter ended June 30, 2021 for total consideration of approximately $1,812,$2,464, including $1,779$2,431 in cash. The asset acquisitions were accounted for under the acquisition method with the purchase consideration allocated to customer relationships. The customer relationship assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over 7.5 years, which reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the acquired assets are consumed. The results of operations of the acquired franchisees are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on their acquisition dates and were immaterial. Pro forma results were deemed immaterial to the Company.

6. Intangibles Assets and Goodwill

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and include internally developed software, as well as software to be otherwise marketed, and trademarks/trade name/patents and customer relationships. The Company has determined that the Waitr trademark intangible asset is anand domain names related to the rebranding initiative are indefinite-lived assetassets and therefore isare not subject to amortization but isare evaluated annually for impairment. The Bite Squad, and Delivery Dudes and Cape Payment Companies trade name intangible assets, however, are being amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Intangible assets are stated at cost or acquisition-date fair value less accumulated amortization and consist of the following (in thousands):

Impairments
The Company conducts its goodwill and intangible asset impairment test annually in October, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. For purposes of testing for goodwill impairment, the Company has 1 reporting unit. As a result of a significant decline in the Company’s share price and market capitalization in mid-March 2022, as well as other macroeconomic and industry related conditions during the first quarter of 2022, the Company conducted its impairment test as of the valuation date of March 15, 2022. The impairment test was conducted in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“ASC 360”) for certain long-lived assets, including capitalized contract costs, developed technology, customer relationships, and trade names, and in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”)for the reporting unit’s goodwill. The Company engaged a third-party to assist management in estimating the fair values of long-lived assets and the reporting unit for purposes of impairment testing under ASC 360 and ASC 350.
ASC 360 requires long-lived assets to be tested for impairment using a three-step impairment test. Step 1 of the test is giving consideration to whether indicators of impairment of long-lived assets are present. Given the significant decline in the Company’s market capitalization and other macroeconomic factors, indications were that an impairment may exist and the Company proceeded to Step 2 to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized. As a part of Step 2, the Company performed a recoverability test by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the long-lived assets in question to their carrying amounts. Given that the undiscounted cash flows for the long-lived assets were above the carrying amounts, the Company determined that the long-lived asset group is recoverable, and no impairment exists as of March 15, 2022.
Customer relationships, the Company’s primary long-lived asset, was tested for impairment under the guidance in ASC 360. The customer relationships intangible asset was valued using the Income Approach, specifically, the multi-period excess earnings method, which measures the after-tax cash flows attributable to the existing customer relationships
11

TABLE_CONTENTS
after deducting the operating costs and contributory asset charges associated with supporting the existing customer relationships. The customer relationships analysis represents a Level 3 measurement as it was based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions used in developing a fair value estimate. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates at the time of the valuation.
ASC 350 requires goodwill and other indefinite lived assets to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. For ASC 350 testing purposes, the Company compared the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated giving consideration to the Income Approach, including the discounted cash flow method, and the Market Approach, including the similar transactions method and guideline public company method. Significant inputs and assumptions in the ASC 350 analysis included forecasts (e.g., revenue, operating costs, capital expenditures, etc.), discount rate, long-term growth rate, tax rates, etc. for the reporting unit under the Income Approach and market-based enterprise value to revenue multiples under the Market Approach.
As a result of the allocationASC 350 analysis, the Company recognized a non-cash pre-tax impairment loss of $67,190 during the purchase price over assets acquired and liabilities assumedthree months ended March 31, 2022 to write down the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value. The non-cash impairment loss is included in the Delivery Dudes Acquisition (see Note 3 – Business Combinations). 

6.unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations under the caption “goodwill impairment” during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit and intangible assets requires the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results. It is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates described above could change in future periods. There can be no assurance that additional goodwill or intangible assets will not be impaired in future periods.

Amendments to Loan Agreements

On March 9, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement and an amendment to the Convertible Notes Agreement (together, the “Amended Loan Agreements”). The Amended Loan Agreements provide, among other things, for the Delivery Dudes Acquisition being included in the definition of Permitted Acquisition (as defined in the Credit Agreement and Convertible Notes Agreement). Additionally, pursuant to the amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Company made a $15,000 prepayment on the

Term Loan on March 16, 2021. See
Term Loan and Notes below for definitions of certain capitalized terms included above.

The Company evaluated the amendments in the Amended Loan Agreements under ASC 470-50, “Debt Modification and Extinguishment”, and concluded that the amendments did not meet the characteristics of debt extinguishments under ASC 470-50. Accordingly, the amendments were treated as a debt modification, and thus, no gain or loss was recorded. A new effective interest rate for the Term Loan that equates the revised cash flows to the carrying amount of the original debt is computed and applied prospectively.

Term Loan

The Company maintains an agreement with Luxor Capital Group, LP (“Luxor Capital”) (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured first priority term loan (the “Term Loan”) which is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company. In connection with the Term Loan, the Company issued to Luxor Capital warrants which are currently exercisable for 478,464579,365 shares of the Company’s common stock at March 31, 2022 (see Note 12 – Stockholders’ Equity).

Interest on the Term Loan is payable quarterly, in cash or, at the election of the Company, as a payment-in-kind, with interest paid in-kind being added to the aggregate principal balance. The Credit Agreement includes a number of customary covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of each of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, incur liens on assets, engage in mergers or consolidations, dispose of assets, pay dividends or repurchase capital stock and repay certain junior indebtedness. The Credit Agreement also includes customary affirmative covenants, representations and warranties and events of default. We believe that we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2021.

Notes

Additionally, the Company issued unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) to Luxor Capital Partners, LP, Luxor Capital Partners Offshore Master Fund, LP, Luxor Wavefront, LP and Lugard Road Capital Master Fund, LP (the “Luxor Entities”) pursuant to an agreement, herein referred to as the “Convertible Notes Agreement”.

The net carrying value of the Notes as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 totaled $49,124 and $49,069, respectively.

Interest on the Notes is payable quarterly, in cash or, at the Company’s election, up to one-half of the dollar amount of an interest payment due can be paid-in-kind. Interest paid-in-kind is added to the aggregate principal balance. Interest expense related to the Notes was comprised of the following for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

The Company’s payment obligations on the Notes are not guaranteed. The Convertible Notes Agreement contains negative covenants, affirmative covenants, representations and warranties and events of default that are substantially similar to those that are set forth in the Credit Agreement (except those that relate to collateral and related security interests, which are not contained in the Convertible Notes Agreement or otherwise applicable to the Notes).

9. Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes using an asset and liability approach under which deferred income taxes are provided for based upon enacted tax laws and rates applicable to periods in which the taxes become payable. The Company recorded income tax expense of $33$16 and $17$24 for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively, and $57 and $34 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company’s income tax expense is entirely related to state taxes in various jurisdictions. A partialThe Company recorded a full valuation allowance has been recordedagainst net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 20202021 as the Company has generated net operating losses prior to the second quarter of 2020 and in the first, second and secondfourth quarters of 2021 and first quarter of 2022, and the Company did not consider future book income as a source of taxable income when assessing if a portion of the deferred tax assets is more likely than not to be realized.

These amounts areThis amount is reflected in other current and non-current liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

9.    Correction of Prior Period Error

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company identified and corrected an immaterial error related to the understatement of an accrued medical contingency (the “Medical Contingency”) that affected previously issued consolidated financial statements. The Company became liable for a claim due to the insolvency of a previous workers compensation insurer. The Company assessed the materiality of the error, both quantitatively and qualitatively, in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, and concluded that the error was not material to any of its previously reported financial statements based upon qualitative aspects of the error. However, as the error was large quantitatively, previously issued financial statements have been revised and are presented for comparative purposes. The Company engaged a third-party actuary to assist in the calculation of the estimated loss exposure and determined that the accrued liability recorded at December 31, 2018 for the claim was understated by approximately $17,505, which resulted in additional expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 of $17,505.

The cumulative impact of the error correction on the Company’s retained earnings and stockholders’ equity as of January 1, 2020 was $17,505. As shown in the table below, there was no impact to net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Net income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was not impacted by the revision. Line items affected by the revision are included in the tables below.

Legal Matters

In July 2016, Waiter.com, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Waitr Inc. in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, alleging trademark infringement based on Waitr’s use of the “Waitr” trademark and logo, Civil Action No.: 2:16-CV-01041. The plaintiff sought injunctive relief and damages relating to Waitr’s use of the “Waitr” name and logo. During the third quarter of 2020, the trial date was rescheduled to June 2021, and in September 2020, the court ruled on various motions, certain of which ruled against defenses the Company had advanced. The Company recorded a $4,000 reserve in connection with this lawsuit during the first quarter of 2021. On June 22, 2021, the Company entered into a License, Release and Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement”) to settle all claims related to this lawsuit. Pursuant to the Settlement, the Company agreed, among other things, to paypaid the plaintiff $4,700 in cash byon July 1, 2021.

The accrued legal settlement of $4,700reserve is included in other current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2021. IncludedMarch 31, 2022 and in other expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 is $700 and $4,700, respectively, related to the accrued legal settlement.

In April 2019, the Company was named as a defendant in a class action complaint filed by certain current and former restaurant partners, captioned Bobby’s Country Cookin’, LLC, et al v. Waitr Holdings Inc., which is currently pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana. Plaintiffs allege, among other things,The plaintiffs assert claims for breach of contract and violation of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, and unjust enrichment, andthey seek recovery on behalf of themselves and two separate classes. Based on the current class definitions, as many as 10,000 restaurant partners could be members of the two separate classes at issue. In February 2022, the parties reached a proposed settlement in principle to resolve the litigation in its entirety. While subject to Court approval and final written agreement between the parties regarding the pricing mechanism, the key terms of the proposed settlement include a total potential settlement fund of $2,500 of Company shares of common stock (“Gross Settlement Amount”), which will resolve the claims of the class members, attorneys’ fees, costs, and incentive awards to the named plaintiffs. Plaintiffs’ counsel will seek Court approval for attorneys’ fees of 1/3 of the total amount of the settlement fund and an additional $40 in expenses, with the balance of the Gross Settlement Amount available for distribution to members of the settlement classes that file valid claims. The Company accrued a $1,250 reserve in connection with this lawsuit during the representative plaintiffs are attempting to certify. Plaintiff’s deadline to file a motion for class certificationthree months ended December 31, 2021. The accrued legal contingency is October 2021. Waitr maintains thatincluded in other current liabilities in the underlying allegations and claims lack merit, and that the classes, as pled, are incapable of certification. Waitr continues to vigorously defend the suit.

In September 2019, Christopher Meaux, David Pringle, Jeff Yurecko, Tilman J. Fertitta, Richard Handler, Waitr Holdings Inc. f/k/a Landcadia Holdings Inc., Jefferies Financial Group, Inc. and Jefferies, LLC were named as defendants in a putative class action lawsuit entitled Walter Welch, Individually and on Behalf of all Others Similarly Situated vs. Christopher Meaux, David Pringle, Jeff Yurecko, Tilman J. Fertitta, Richard Handler, Waitr Holdings Inc. f/k/a Landcadia Holdings Inc., Jefferies Financial Group, Inc. and Jefferies, LLC. The case was filed in the Western District of Louisiana, Lake Charles Division. In the lawsuit, the plaintiff asserts putative class action claims alleging, inter alia, that various defendants made false and misleading statements in securities filings, engaged in fraud, and violated accounting and securities rules.rules, seeking damages based upon these allegations. A similar putative class action lawsuit, entitled Kelly Bates, Individually and on Behalf of all Others Similarly Situated vs. Christopher Meaux, David Pringle, Jeff Yurecko, Tilman J. Fertitta, Richard Handler, Waitr Holdings Inc. f/k/a Landcadia Holdings Inc., Jefferies Financial Group, Inc. and Jefferies, LLC, was filed in that same court in November 2019. These two cases were consolidated, and an amended complaint was filed in October 2020. The Company filed a motion to dismiss in February 2021. The Court has heard oral argument on that motion, and has taken the motion under advisement. No discovery has commenced as of the date hereof. Waitr believes that this lawsuit lacks merit and that it has strong defenses to all of the claims alleged. Waitr continues to vigorously defend the suit.

In addition to the lawsuits described above, Waitr is involved in other litigation arising from the normal course of business activities, including, without limitation, vehicle accidents involving employees and independent contractor drivers resulting in claims alleging personal injuries and medical expenses, labor and employment claims, allegations of infringement, misappropriation and other violations of intellectual property or other rights, lawsuits and claims involving personal injuries, physical damageinfringement, and workers’ compensation benefits sufferedbenefit claims as a result of alleged conduct involving its employees, independent contractor drivers, and third-party negligence. Although Waitr believes that it maintains insurance with standard deductibles that generally covers liability for potential damages in many of these matters where coverage is available on acceptable terms (it is not maintained for claims involving intellectual property), insurance coverage is not guaranteed, often thesethere are limits to insurance coverage and in certain instances claims are met with denial of coverage positions by the carriers, and there are limits to insurance coverage;carriers; accordingly, we could suffer material losses as a result of these claims, or the denial of coverage for such claims.

Amended and Restated 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2018 Incentive Plan”), which permits the granting of awards in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance-based awards, and other stock-based or cash-based awards. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, there were 6,632,8869,664,120 shares of common stock available for future grants pursuant to the 2018 Incentive Plan.

13. Fair Value Measurements

Medical Contingency
At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company had an outstanding medical contingency claim which iswas measured at fair value on a recurring basis (see Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies).basis. The long-term portion ofestimated loss exposure for the medical contingency claim reflected the liability for such claim is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets under accruedunpaid medical contingency, with the short-term portion included within other current liabilities.expenses and dependent death benefits, totaling $423 as of December 31, 2021. The medical contingency claim is measured at fair value using a method that incorporates life-expectancy assumptions, along with projected annual medical costs for each future year, adjusted for inflation. An average annual inflation rate of 3.5% wasanalysis used in the development

TABLE_CONTENTS
measurement of the actuarial estimatereserve for medical costs, based on historical medical cost inflation trends as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Additionally, the measurement includes factors to derive a probability-weighted average of future payments in order to reflect variations from the life-expectancy assumptions, using CDC National Vital Statistics Reports as a tool in the analysis. Projected cash flows are discounted using an interest rate consistent with the U.S. 30-year treasury yield curve rates.

The medical contingency claim analysis represents a Level 3 measurement as it was based on unobservable inputs reflectingreflected the Company’s assumptions regarding unpaid medical expenses and estimated death benefits used in developing the fair value estimate. The inputs used in the measurement, particularly life expectancyestimate and projected medical costs, are sensitive inputs to the measurement and changes to either could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. The Company utilized historical transactional data regarding the claim, along with projections for future comprehensive medical care costs.was a Level 3 measurement. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates at the time of the valuation.

At March 31, 2022, management no longer deemed the medical contingency claim a liability requiring fair value measurement estimation as the remaining liability at such time consisted entirely of discrete costs related to certain unpaid medical expenses. Accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the medical contingency claim was transferred out the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.
Contingent Consideration
The fair value of contingent consideration is measured at acquisition date, and at the end of each reporting period through the term of the arrangement, using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with assumptions for volatility and risk-free rate. Contingent consideration relates to the earnout provision in the Company’s acquisition of the Cape Payment Companies in August 2021 and the future contingent payment based on the achievement of certain revenue targets (see Note 4 – Business Combinations). Expected volatility is based on a blended weighted average of the volatility rates for a number of similar publicly-traded companies. The risk-free rates are based on U.S. Treasury securities with similar maturities as the expected term of the earnout provision at the date of valuation. The fair value measurement was based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates at the time of the valuation. The Company engaged a third-party specialist to assist management in estimating the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation.
Summary by Fair Value Hierarchy

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company is required to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The Company generally applies fair value concepts in recording assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations and asset acquisitions (see Note 34 – Business Combinations).

Fair value concepts are also generally applied in estimating the fair value of long-lived assets and a reporting unit in connection with impairment analyses. See Note 6 – Intangible Assets and Goodwill, for further discussion of the fair value of long-lived assets and the reporting unit associated with impairment testing conducted at March 15, 2022.

We estimate that we generated total revenue, inclusive of diner fees, of approximately $102 and $263 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, from such restaurants that are affiliated with those current and prior members of our Board. Such restaurants enter into customary master service agreements with the Company, which are generally consistent with the other national partner agreements.

Overview

Waitr operates an online ordering technology Platforms, including the Waitr, Bite Squad and Delivery Dudes mobile applications. Our technology platform providingprovides delivery, carryout and dine-in options, connecting restaurants, drivers and diners in cities across the United States. Our strategy is to bring delivery, carryout and dine-inin the logistics infrastructure to underserved populations of restaurants, grocery stores and dinersother merchants and establish strong market presence or leadership positions in the markets in which we operate. Our business has been built with a restaurant-first philosophy by providing differentiated and brand additive services to the restaurants on the Platforms. These merchants benefit from the online Platforms through increased exposure to consumers for expanded business in the delivery market and carryout sales. Our Platforms allow consumers to browse local restaurants and menus, track order and delivery status, and securely store previous orders for ease of use and convenience. Restaurants benefit from the online Platforms through increased exposure
Additionally, Waitr facilitates merchant access to consumers for expanded business in the delivery market and carryout sales.

On March 11, 2021, we completedthird-party payment processing solution providers, pursuant to the acquisition of Delivery Dudes,the Cape Payment Companies in August 2021. Revenue from such services primarily consists of residual payments received from third-party payment processing solution providers, based on the volume of transactions a payment processing solution provider performs for the merchant.

At the end of 2021, we initiated several integrations expected to be completed by mid-2022 with other companies to deliver their products. During the first quarter of 2022, we focused our efforts on these initiatives with the goal of further expanding our last-mile delivery offerings as well as continuing to build on our ancillary revenue streams and diversifying the Company beyond third-party delivery business primarily servingfood delivery. Another key step in pursuing our overall growth strategy has been to facilitate merchant access to third-party payment processing solution providers. Through our acquisitions in August 2021, we now facilitate merchant and restaurant access to third parties that provide payment processing solutions.
During the South Florida market (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional details). The acquisition strengthensfirst quarter of 2022, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge totaling $67,190 to write down the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value, resulting from the significant decline in the Company’s market presencecapitalization in March 2022. See Part I, Item 1, Note 6 – Intangible Assets and Goodwill for additional details. The write-down to goodwill was determined using estimates of fair value, which utilize significant inputs and assumptions such as forecasts (e.g., revenue, operating costs, capital expenditures, etc.), discount rate, long-term growth rate, tax rates, and market-based enterprise value to revenue multiples, among others. Should our estimates or assumptions worsen, or should negative events or circumstances occur, additional impairments may be needed.
As previously announced, we acquired the on-demand delivery service sector. “ASAP.com” domain name and several related domains and also reserved the Nasdaq trading symbol “ASAP” in connection with our rebranding strategy. We are making progress on our rebranding strategy and we expect that “ASAP” will serve as the foundation of our brand moving forward, as we believe it better embodies the future direction of our Company.
At June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had over 25,00026,000 restaurants, in over 900approximately 1,000 cities, on the Platforms. Average Daily Orders for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 were approximately 38,58322,907 and 44,241,37,627, respectively, and revenue was $49,167$35,040 and $60,506,$50,930, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, Average Daily Orders were 38,108 and 40,909, respectively, and revenue was $100,097 and $104,749, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2021, we added a variety of additional national brands to our Platforms and continued to opportunistically launch new markets in numerous underserved cities and towns. The acquisition of Delivery Dudes in the first quarter of 2021 and organic expansion throughout the first half of 2021 expanded our presence in multiple small and medium sized markets. Additionally, we recently announced a strategic initiative to change our corporate name and visual identity in a comprehensive rebrand, to be effective within the next 12 – 18 months. The rebranding strategy reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation, continued expansion into new delivery verticals in the “last mile delivery” segment, maintenance of a technology-forward platform, and anticipated diversification and expansion into payment solutions.

Impact of COVID-19 on our Business

We have thus far been able to operate effectively during the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to economic hardships experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. federal government rolled out stimulus payments in the first quarter of 2021 which we believe had a positive impact on order volumes during such period. However, we also believe the stimulus payments resulted in increased driver labor costs as we were faced with challenges in maintaining an appropriate level of driver supply. In addition, early in the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced an increase in revenue and orders due to increased consumer demand for delivery and more restaurants using our platform to facilitate both delivery and take-out. During the second quarter of 2021 and thereafter, we believe the impact of the stimulus payments on our order volumes began to decrease.

While the widespread rollout of vaccines is leading to increased confidence that the impacts of the pandemic may be stabilizing, the spread of certain COVID variants and cases rising in areas with low vaccination rates provide continued uncertainty as to the potential short and long-term impacts of the pandemic on the global economy and on the Company’s business, in particular.

There remains uncertainty as to whether or not the pandemic will continue to impact diner behavior, and if so, in what manner.

To the extent that the COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacts the Company’s business, results of operations, liquidity or financial condition, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the risk factors in the Company’s 20202021 Form 10-K and this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. Management continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and the possible effects on its financial position, liquidity, operations, industry and workforce.

Nasdaq Compliance
On January 26, 2022, we received written notice from Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Staff”), indicating that the minimum bid price of our common stock has closed at less than $1.00 per share over the last 30 consecutive business days and, as a result, did not comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Bid Price Rule”).
The notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until July 25, 2022, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. If at any time before July 25, 2022, the bid price of our common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide us with written confirmation of compliance with the Bid Price Rule and the matter will be closed.
If we fail to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule before July 25, 2022, but meet certain other applicable standards, the Company may be eligible for additional time to comply with the Bid Price Rule. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period.
If we do not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule in the relevant compliance period, the Staff may provide written notification to the Company that its securities will be delisted. The Company may then appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Hearings Panel.
The Company is actively taking steps to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, including actively monitoring the bid price for its common stock between now and July 25, 2022 and considering available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, including a reverse stock split.
Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, along with related disclosures. We regularly assess these estimates and record changes to estimates in the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience

and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ from estimates. Significant estimates and judgements relied upon in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements affect the following items:

incurred loss estimates under our insurance policies with large deductibles or retention levels;

Other than the changes disclosed in Part I, Item 1, Note 2Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates described in the 20202021 Form 10-K.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Pending Accounting Standards

See Part I, Item 1, Note 2Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for a description of accounting standards adopted during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. Also described in Note 2 are pending standards and their estimated effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Through year-end 2020, we qualified as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we were able to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies”, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Effective January 1, 2021, we are no longer an emerging growth company. Accordingly, for fiscal year 2021, we will be required to include an opinion from our independent registered public accounting firm on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results of Operations

Delivery Dudes Acquisition.

Acquisitions. The Delivery Dudes Acquisition wasand Cape Payment Acquisition were considered a business combinationcombinations in accordance with ASC 805, and hashave been accounted for using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method of accounting, total purchase consideration, acquired assets, and assumed liabilities and contingent consideration are recorded based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. TheFor each of these acquisitions, the excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets less liabilities acquired (and contingent consideration when applicable) has been recorded as goodwill on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. The results of operations of Delivery Dudes and Cape Payment Companies are included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date,dates, March 11, 2021.2021 and August 25, 2021, respectively.

In connection with the Delivery Dudes Acquisition, wethe Company incurred direct and incremental costs of $606 during the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2021, of approximately $63 and $669, respectively, consisting of legal and professional fees, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in such periods.

period.

Changes in Fee Structure. Our fee structure has changed at various times since our inception. We continue to review and update our current rate structure, as necessary, as we look to offer new and enhanced value-adding services to our restaurant partners. Any changes to our fee structure (whether externally to comply with governmental imposed caps or as a result of internal decision-making) could affect the comparability of our results of operations from period to period.

Goodwill Impairment. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge totaling $67,190 to write down the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value, as a result of our goodwill impairment analysis, which concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit (the Company) at such time was less than its carrying amount. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit and intangible assets requires the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results. It is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates used could change in future periods. There can be no assurance that additional goodwill or intangible assets will not be impaired in future periods. Significant goodwill and intangible asset impairments may impact the comparability of our results from period to period.
Seasonality and Holidays. Our business tends to follow restaurant closure and diner behavior patterns with respect to demand of our service offering. In many of our markets, we have historically experienced variations in order frequency as a result of weather patterns, university summer breaks and other vacation periods. In addition, a significant number of restaurants tend to close on certain major holidays, including Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, among others. Further, diner activity may be impacted by unusually cold, rainy, or warm weather. Cold weather and rain typically drive increases in order volume, while unusually warm or sunny weather typically drives decreases in orders. Furthermore, severe weather-related events such as snowstorms, ice storms, hurricanes and tropical storms have adverse effects on order volume, particularly if they cause property damage or utility interruptions to our restaurant partners. The
25

TABLE_CONTENTS
COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the federal government’s responses thereto, have had an impact on our typical seasonality trends and could impact future periods.

TABLE_CONTENTS

Acquisition Pipeline. We continue to maintain and evaluate an active pipeline of potential acquisition targets and may pursue acquisitions in the future, both in the restaurant delivery space as well as other verticals.verticals, such as payments and other complimentary businesses. These potential business acquisitions may impact the comparability of our results in future periods relative to prior periods.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

Efficient Market Expansion and Penetration. RevenueOur continued revenue growth and any corresponding improved cash flow and profitability is dependent on successful restaurant, diner and driver penetration of our markets and achieving our targeted scale in current and future markets. Failure in achieving thisour targeted scale could adversely affect our working capital, which in turn, could slow our growth plans.

We typically target markets that we believe could achieve sustainable positive operating cash flows and profits, improve efficiency, and appropriately leverage the scale of our advertising, marketing, research and development, and other corporate resources. Our financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations depend, in significant part, on our ability to achieve and sustain our target profitability thresholds in our markets.

Waitr’s

Our Restaurant, Diner and Driver Network. A significant part of our strategygrowth is our ability to successfully expand our network of restaurants, diners and independent contractor drivers using the Platforms. If we fail to retain existing restaurants, diners and independent contractor drivers using the Platforms, or to add new restaurants, diners and independent contractor drivers to the Platforms, our revenue, and overall financial results and business may be adversely affected.

Key Business Metrics

Defined below are the key business metrics that we use to analyze our business performance, determine financial forecasts, and help develop long-term strategic plans:

Active Diners. We count Active Diners as the number of unique diner accounts from which an order has been successfully completed through the Platforms during the past twelve months (as of the end of the relevant period) and consider Active Diners an important metric because the number of diners using our Platforms is a key revenue driver and a valuable measure of the size of our engaged diner base.

Average Daily Orders. We calculate Average Daily Orders as the number of completed orders during the period divided by the number of days in that period, including holidays. Average Daily Orders is an important metric for us because the number of orders processed on our Platforms is a key revenue driver and, in conjunction with the number of Active Diners, a valuable measure of diner activity on our Platforms for a given period.

Gross Food Sales. We calculate Gross Food Sales as the total food and beverage sales, sales taxes, prepaid gratuities, and diner fees processed through the Platforms during a given period. Gross Food Sales are different than the order value upon which we charge our fee to restaurants, which excludes sales taxes, gratuities and diner fees. Gratuities,Prepaid gratuities, which are not included in our net revenue, are determined by diners and may vary from order to order. Gratuities other than prepaid gratuities, such as cash tips, are not included in Gross Food Sales. Gross Food Sales is an important metric for us because the total volume of food sales transacted through our Platforms is a key revenue driver.

Average Order Size. We calculate Average Order Size as Gross Food Sales for a given period divided by the number of completed orders during the same period. Average Order Size is an important metric for us because the average value of gross food sales on our Platforms is a key revenue driver.

Revenue decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, primarily as a result of decreased order volumes. We experienced a significant increase in Average Daily Orders in the three months ended June 30, 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic, related stay-at-home orders, and government stimulus payments affected diner behavior. Additionally, Average Daily Orders were impacted by adverse weather-related events in early 2021 as well as certain federal government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Partially offsetting the impact of decreased order volumes in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was an increase in the Average Order Size in such periods. The Average Order Size increased to $44.22 forperiod as well as revenue from the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $41.44 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an improvement of 7%.Cape Payment Companies and Delivery Dudes acquisitions, beginning on their respective acquisition dates.

Goodwill Impairment
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $67,190 to write down the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value. The primary factor contributing to a reduction in the fair value was the significant decline in the Company’s stock price in mid-March 2022, resulting in a market capitalization that was lower than the carrying value of the Company’s consolidated stockholders’ equity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had cash on hand of $60,548.$54,877. Our primary sources of liquidity have recently been cash flow from operations and proceeds from the issuance of stock in the first quarter of 2022 and fiscal 2021 and 2020.

During the first halfquarter of 2021,2022, we made investments in our business related to the enhancement of our Platforms and initiatives focused on further supplementing our offerings beyond third-party food delivery.
In November 2021, we entered into an amended and restated open market sale agreement with numerous new market launches andrespect to our ATM Program. Pursuant to the Delivery Dudes Acquisition, expanding our scope of delivery in multiple small and medium sized markets. The Delivery Dudes Acquisition included $11,500 in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, and 3,562,577ATM Program, we sold 9,458,655 shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, pursuantstock during the three months ended March 31, 2022 for gross proceeds of $6,313, and from April 1, 2022 through April 12, 2022, we sold 2,616,335 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $898.

2022.

The aggregate principal amount of outstanding long-term debt totaled $84,511 as of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, consisting of $35,007 for the Term Loan and $49,504 of Notes. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company had $5,465$1,293 of outstanding short-term loans for insurance premium financing.

On May 9, 2022, the Company entered into the Amended Debt Agreements, pursuant to which the Company will make a $20,000 prepayment on the Term Loan, reducing the outstanding amount of the Term Loan from $35,007 to $15,007. Additionally, the Amended Debt Agreements (i) provide that going forward on a quarterly basis, 50% of the proceeds of any future at-the-market public common stock issuances will be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loan under the Credit Agreement and (ii) include a six-month extension of the maturity date of each of the Credit Agreement and Convertible Notes Agreement until May 15, 2024.
We currently expect that our cash on hand and estimated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for at least the next twelve months; however, there can be no assurance that we will generate cash flow at the levels we anticipate. We may use cash on hand to repay additional debt or to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, services and technologies. We continually evaluate additional opportunities to strengthen our liquidity position, fund growth initiatives and/or combine with other businesses by issuing equity or equity-linked securities (in both public or private offerings) and/or incurring additional debt. However, market conditions, our future financial performance or other factors may make it difficult or impossible for us to access sources of capital, on favorable terms or at all, should we determine in the future to raise additional funds.

We are continuously reviewing our liquidity and anticipated working capital needs, particularly in light of the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus far, we have been able to operate effectively duringpandemic, inflationary pressures, the pandemic, however, the potential impactsUkrainian conflict, increased gasoline prices and durationother macroeconomic factors that could affect consumer demand, order volume and restaurant prices, all of the COVID-19 pandemic (including those related to variants) on the economy and onwhich could impact our business, in particular, is difficult to assess or predict.

Capital Expenditures

Our main capital expenditures relate to the purchase of tablets for restaurants on the Platforms and investments in the development of the Platforms, which are expected to increase as we continue to grow our business. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our 20202021 Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the SEC, including this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk and certain other market risks in the ordinary course of our business.

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had outstanding interest-bearing long-term debt totaling $84,511, consisting of the Term Loan in the amount of $35,007 and the Notes of $49,504. The$49,504, both of which bear interest rates under the Term Loan and Notesat fixed rates. As a result, we were reduced by 200 basis points for a one-year period, effective August 3, 2020, in connection with amendments to the loan agreements governing the Term Loan and Notes and a payment on the Term Loan. Although the interest rates decreased on August 3, 2020, we are not currently exposed to interest rate risk on our outstanding debt as the new rates are fixed and revert back to the fixed rates in effect prior to the amendments.at March 31, 2022. If we enter into variable-rate debt in the future, we may be subject to increased sensitivity to interest rate movements.

We invest excess cash primarily in bank accounts and money market accounts, on which we earn interest. Our current investment strategy is to preserve principal and provide liquidity for our operating and market expansion needs. Since our investments have been and are expected to remain mainly short-term in nature, we do not believe that changes in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value of our investments or our operating results.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2021.

Changes in Internal ControlsControl Over Financial Reporting

There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Effective January 1, 2021, we are no longer an emerging growth company. Accordingly, for fiscal year 2021, we will be required to include an opinion from our independent registered public accounting firm on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Dollar amounts in the discussion in Part II. Other Information are expressed in thousands, except as otherwise noted.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In July 2016, Waiter.com, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Waitr Inc. in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, alleging trademark infringement based on Waitr’s use of the “Waitr” trademark and logo, Civil Action No.: 2:16-CV-01041. The plaintiff sought injunctive relief and damages relating to Waitr’s use of the “Waitr” name and logo. During the third quarter of 2020, the trial date was rescheduled to June 2021, and in September 2020, the court ruled on various motions, certain of which ruled against defenses the Company had advanced. The Company recorded a $4 million reserve in connection with this lawsuit during the first quarter of 2021. On June 22, 2021, the Company entered into a License, Release and Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement”) to settle all claims related to this lawsuit. Pursuant to the Settlement, the Company agreed, among other things, to paypaid the plaintiff $4.7 million$4,700 in cash byon July 1, 2021. As such,In connection with the Settlement, we agreed to adopt a new trademark or tradename to replace the Waitr trademark and to discontinue use of the Waitr trademark in connection with the marketing, sale or provision of any web-based or mobile app-based delivery, pick-up, carry-out or dine-in services using the Waitr trademark by June 22, 2022, unless extended by eight additional months in exchange for a one-time payment of $800. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recordedaccrued an incremental $0.7 million$800 reserve in connection with its option to extend the Settlement.license period by an additional eight months. The accrued legal settlement of $4.7 millionreserve is included in other current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2021. IncludedMarch 31, 2022 and in other expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 is $0.7 million and $4.7 million, respectively, related to the accrued legal settlement.

March 31, 2022.

In April 2019, the Company was named as a defendant in a class action complaint filed by certain current and former restaurant partners, captioned Bobby’s Country Cookin’, LLC, et al v. Waitr Holdings Inc., which is currently pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana. Plaintiffs allege, among other things,The plaintiffs assert claims for breach of contract and violation of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, and unjust enrichment, andthey seek recovery on behalf of themselves and two separate classes. Based on the current class definitions, as many as 10,000 restaurant partners could be members of the two separate classes at issue. In February 2022, the parties reached a proposed settlement in principle to resolve the litigation in its entirety. While subject to Court approval and final written agreement between the parties regarding the pricing mechanism, the key terms of the proposed settlement include a total potential settlement fund of $2,500 of Company shares of common stock (“Gross Settlement Amount”), which will resolve the claims of the class members, attorneys’ fees, costs, and incentive awards to the named plaintiffs. Plaintiffs’ counsel will seek Court approval for attorneys’ fees of 1/3 of the total amount of the settlement fund and an additional $40 in expenses, with the balance of the Gross Settlement Amount available for distribution to members of the settlement classes that file valid claims. The Company accrued a $1,250 reserve in connection with this lawsuit during the representative plaintiffs are attempting to certify.  Plaintiff’s deadline to file a motion for class certificationthree months ended December 31, 2021. The accrued legal contingency is October 2021. Waitr maintains thatincluded in other current liabilities in the underlying allegations and claims lack merit, and that the classes, as pled, are incapable of certification. Waitr continues to vigorously defend the suit.

In September 2019, Christopher Meaux, David Pringle, Jeff Yurecko, Tilman J. Fertitta, Richard Handler, Waitr Holdings Inc. f/k/a Landcadia Holdings Inc., Jefferies Financial Group, Inc. and Jefferies, LLC were named as defendants in a putative class action lawsuit entitled Walter Welch, Individually and on Behalf of all Others Similarly Situated vs. Christopher Meaux, David Pringle, Jeff Yurecko, Tilman J. Fertitta, Richard Handler, Waitr Holdings Inc. f/k/a Landcadia Holdings Inc., Jefferies Financial Group, Inc. and Jefferies, LLC. The case was filed in the Western District of Louisiana, Lake Charles Division. In the lawsuit, the plaintiff asserts putative class action claims alleging, inter alia, that various defendants made false and misleading statements in securities filings, engaged in fraud, and violated accounting and securities rules.rules, seeking damages based upon these allegations. A similar putative class action lawsuit, entitled Kelly Bates, Individually and on Behalf of all Others Similarly Situated vs. Christopher Meaux, David Pringle, Jeff Yurecko, Tilman J. Fertitta, Richard Handler, Waitr Holdings Inc. f/k/a Landcadia Holdings Inc., Jefferies Financial Group, Inc. and Jefferies, LLC, was filed in that same court in November 2019. These two cases were consolidated, and an amended complaint was filed in October 2020. The Company filed a motion to dismiss in February 2021. The Court has heard oral argument on that motion, and has taken the motion under advisement. No discovery has commenced as of the date hereof. Waitr believes that this lawsuit lacks merit and that it has strong defenses to all of the claims alleged. Waitr continues to vigorously defend the suit.

In addition to the lawsuits described above, Waitr is involved in other litigation arising from the normal course of business activities, including, without limitation, vehicle accidents involving employees and independent contractor drivers resulting in claims alleging personal injuries and medical expenses, labor and employment claims, allegations of infringement, misappropriation and other violations of intellectual property or other rights, lawsuits and claims involving personal injuries, physical damageinfringement, and workers’ compensation benefits sufferedbenefit claims as a result of alleged conduct involving its employees, independent contractor drivers, and third-party negligence. Although Waitr believes that it maintains insurance with standard deductibles that generally covers liability for potential damages in many of these matters where coverage is available on acceptable terms (it is not maintained for claims involving intellectual property), insurance coverage is not

claims, or damages awarded for any such claim that exceeds coverage. Litigation is unpredictable and we may determine in the future that certain existing claims have greater exposure or liability than previously understood.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes with respect to Waitr’s risk factors previously reported in Part I, Item 1A, of the 20202021 Form 10-K.

The change in presidential administration could result in increased misclassification claims against the Company.

During the Trump administration, the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”) relaxed enforcement of misclassification claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). Additionally, just before President Trump left office, the DOL issued a new, company-friendly independent contractor standard via regulation that was set to go into effect in March 2021. However, after President Biden took office, the DOL paused and ultimately rescinded implementation

regulationscarrying amounts of goodwill or guidance proposing an even more worker-friendly standard, such as the “ABC” test that was implemented in California. Legal experts also expect the DOL under President Biden to become more aggressive in enforcing misclassification claims against companies, particularly in the gig economy space. The issuance of such additional regulations or guidance, or the increase in such DOL enforcement activity,other indefinite-lived assets could adverselynegatively affect our operations and profitability. 

We are subject to a variety of risks relating to our relationships with the independent contractor drivers, including shortages of available drivers and possible increases in driver compensation.

In response to economic hardships experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. federal government rolled out stimulus payments in the first quarter of 2021 which we believe presented challenges in maintaining an appropriate level of driver supply at certain times and has required us to spend more to procure driver services in certain instances. Additional shortages of available drivers could require us to spend more to procure driver services and could create shortages at peak order times. Furthermore, we could face a challenge with having enough qualified drivers primarily due to intense market competition, which may subject us to increased payments for independent contractor driver rates that would negatively impact our profitability.

The COVID-19 pandemic, or a similar public health threat, could significantly affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Waitr has thus far been able to operate effectively during

We conduct our goodwill and intangible asset impairment test annually in October, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, and we review the COVID-19 pandemic. However, recoverability of long-lived assets, including acquired technology, capitalized software costs, and property and equipment when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the spread of certain COVID variants and cases rising in areas with low vaccination rates provide continued uncertainty as to the potential short and long-term impactscarrying value of the pandemic on the global economy and on the Company’s business, in particular. There remains uncertainty as to whether orasset may not the pandemic will continue to impact diner behavior, and if so, in what manner. To the extent that the COVID-19 pandemic, orbe recoverable. For purposes of testing for goodwill impairment, we have one reporting unit. As a similar public health threat, adversely impacts the Company’s business, results of operations, liquidity or financial condition, it may also have the effect of heightening manyresult of the other risks described in the risk factorssignificant decline in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-Kstock price in mid-March 2022 and this quarterly report on Form 10-Qother macroeconomic and industry factors, thereby contributing to a decline in the Company’s market capitalization, we conducted the impairment test as of March 15, 2022. The impairment test was conducted in accordance with ASC 360, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets for certain long-lived assets including capitalized contract costs, developed technology, customer relationships, and trade names, and in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other for the reporting unit’s goodwill. As a result of the ASC 360 and ASC 350 analyses, we recognized a non-cash pre-tax impairment loss of $67,190 during the three months ended June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022 to write down the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value. See Part I, Item 1,

Note 6 – Intangible Assets and Goodwill for additional details.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit and intangible assets requires the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results. It is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates used could change in future periods. There can be no assurance that additional goodwill or intangible assets will not be impaired and that the carrying value of other indefinite-lived assets will be recoverable in future periods, which could adversely affect our financial results and stockholders’ equity.
Our strategic initiative to change our corporate name and visual identity in a comprehensive rebrand may not be successful and may negatively impact our name recognition with customers and partners or otherwise impact our business.

In June 2021, we launched a strategic initiative to change our corporate name and visual identity in a comprehensive rebrand. There is no assurance that our rebranding initiative will be successful or result in a positive return on investment. In connection with the Settlement, we agreed to adopt a new trademark or tradename to replace the Waitr trademark and to discontinue use of the Waitr trademark in connection with the marketing, sale or provision of any web-based or mobile app-based delivery, pick-up, carry-out or dine-in services using the Waitr trademark by June 22, 2022, unless extended by eight additional months in exchange for a one-time payment of $800. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company accrued an $800 reserve in connection with its option to extend the license period by an additional eight months. The failure by us to timely cease using the Waitr trademark provides Waiter.com, Inc. the right to pursue injunctive relief and liquidated damages. We could be required to devote significant resources to advertising and marketing in order to increase awareness of the new brand and for the successful integration of our rebranding process. Furthermore, our rebranding initiative may negatively impact our name recognition with customers and partners, which could have an adverse impact on our business.

Item 5. Other Information

On August 9, 2021, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cape Payments, LLC, entered into three substantially identical agreements to acquire substantially all of the assets of each of Flow Payments LLC (“Flow”), Cape Cod Merchant Services LLC (“Cape Cod”) and ProMerchant LLC (“ProMerchant” and collectively with Flow and Cape Cod, the “Cape Payment Companies”). The agreements are collectively referred to herein as the “Cape Payment Agreements”. The Cape Payment Companies are engaged in the business of facilitating the entry into merchant agreements by and between retailers/merchants and payment processing solution providers and receive residual payments from the payment providers (not the merchants). The aggregate purchase price for the Cape Payment Companies will be $15 million (80% to be paid in cash and 20% to be paid through the issuance of unregistered shares of our common stock in an amount equal to $3 million divided by the volume weighted average price of our common stock over the five days prior to closing), subject to standard purchase price adjustments, plus an unsecured, contingent earn-out payable in March 2023 based on the amount that the 2022 residuals of the Cape Payment Companies exceed 125% of the 2021 residual revenue of the Cape Payment Companies (while we are not able to quantify such amount as of the date hereof, at closing we will estimate and reflect such contingent payment as a liability on our balance sheet). The Cape Payment Agreements contain

representations, warranties and covenants of the parties that are customary for similar transactions. Closing is subject to satisfaction of negotiated closing conditions (including, without limitation, the approval of the Company’s board of directors of the transactions as set forth in the Cape Payment Agreements) and deliverables for such similar transactions and is expected to occur, if at all, during the third quarter of 2021. The foregoing description of the Cape Payment Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Cape Payment Agreements, which will be filed as exhibits to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021.
