Management Commentary
Carl Bachmann, Chief Executive Officer of BurgerFi, stated, “We had a difficult start to the year, but do not view our performance as indicative of these brands’ long-term potential. Like so many of our industry peers, we experienced a softening in revenue and profitability as a result of a challenging consumer environment but also contended with unfavorable weather in key markets. Notably however, we saw a sequential improvement through the quarter, beginning with a slight improvement in February followed by a more substantive recovery in March at both brands, outside of Florida. March same-store sales were flat at Anthony’s, adjusting for the Easter calendar shift, and sales have shown stability during the second quarter to date as we see our initiatives beginning to take hold.
Bachmann continued, “Looking ahead, we remain laser-focused on driving revenue growth while further enhancing operational efficiencies to increase profitability based upon the five key strategic priorities that we have implemented since last July. Achieving sales and margin improvements cannot happen overnight but we are laying a solid foundation upon which to build. We are making highly strategic decisions, following a straightforward formula - to deliver wins for our guests, our team members, and our shareholders and franchisees.”
Christopher Jones, Chief Financial Officer of BurgerFi, added, “We are fully underway with the rollout of new inventory control systems for both brands and a new point-of-sale platform for Anthony's. This new infrastructure is laying the groundwork for expected progress ahead and we believe that our ongoing efforts to streamline operations will pave the way as we navigate through the recovery phase.”

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Total revenue in the first quarter of 2024 decreased 6% to $42.9 million compared to $45.7 million in the year-ago quarter, primarily driven by a decrease in same-store sales at both BurgerFi and Anthony’s and the closure of underperforming BurgerFi corporate-owned locations, partially offset by the additional revenue from two BurgerFi restaurants transferred from a franchisee during 2023. Same-store sales for the first quarter of 2024 decreased 2% for the Anthony’s brand and decreased 16% in corporate-owned and 12% in franchised locations for the BurgerFi brand, respectively.
Restaurant-level operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were $35.9 million compared to $36.1 million in the first quarter of 2023. For the Anthony's brand, restaurant-level operating expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased 360 basis points for the first quarter of 2024, compared to the first quarter of 2023, due to higher per hour labor rates and lower efficiencies due to loss on sales leverage. For the BurgerFi brand, restaurant-level operating expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased 850 basis points for the first quarter of 2024, compared to the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower leverage on sales and higher per hour labor rates.
Net loss in the first quarter was $6.5 million compared to a net loss of $9.2 million in the year-ago quarter, primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense, lower general and administrative expenses, and lower restructuring costs.
Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2024 decreased $2.3 million to $0.3 million compared to $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2023, driven by lost leverage on sales and higher wages. See the definition of Adjusted EBITDA, a financial measure that is a non-generally accepted accounting principle in the United States (“GAAP”), and the reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure below.
Restaurant Development
As of April 1, 2024, the Company operated and franchised 162 total restaurants of which 102 were BurgerFi (27 corporate-owned and 75 franchised) and 60 were Anthony’s (59 corporate-owned and one franchised). During the first quarter 2024, there were two corporate-owned and six franchise BurgerFi closures.
During the first quarter 2024, BurgerFi opened one franchised location and one corporate-owned BurgerFi flagship restaurant in New York City with the unveiling of its Better Burger Lab experience.
Thus far in the second quarter of 2024, BurgerFi has opened two franchised locations.
2024 Outlook
Management is trending to the low end of the range but maintaining its outlook for the fiscal year 2024:
•Annual revenues of $170-$180 million
•Low-single digit same-store sales growth for corporate-owned locations
•10 - 15 new restaurants, (9-14 franchised), including one new franchised Anthony's and our corporate-owned New York City BurgerFi flagship restaurant opened in March;
•Continued improvement in cost of goods driven by increased adoption of inventory management at both brands
•Adjusted EBITDA of $7 to $9 million; and
•Capital expenditures of approximately $2-3 million

Key Metrics Definitions
The following definitions apply to the terms listed below:
“Systemwide Restaurant Sales” is presented as informational data in order to understand the aggregation of franchised stores sales, ghost kitchen and corporate-owned store sales performance. Systemwide Restaurant Sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all franchised restaurants, ghost kitchens and corporate-owned restaurants in one period from the same period in the prior year. Systemwide Restaurant Same-Store Sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all franchised restaurants, ghost kitchens, and corporate-owned restaurants after 14 months of operations. See definition below for “Same-Store Sales”.
“Corporate-Owned Restaurant Sales” represent the sales generated only by corporate-owned restaurants. Corporate-Owned Restaurant Sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all corporate-owned restaurants in one period from the same period in the prior year. Corporate-Owned Restaurant Same-Store Sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all corporate-owned restaurants after 14 months of operations. These measures highlight the performance of existing corporate-owned restaurants.
“Franchise Restaurant Sales” represent the sales generated only by franchisee-owned restaurants and are not recorded as revenue, however, the royalties based on a percentage of these franchise restaurant sales are recorded as revenue. Franchise Restaurant Sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all franchised restaurants in one period from the same period in the prior year. Franchise Restaurant Same-Store Sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all franchised restaurants after 14 months of operations. These measures highlight the performance of existing franchised restaurants.
“Same-Store Sales” is used to evaluate the performance of our store base, which excludes the impact of new stores and closed stores, in both periods under comparison. We include a restaurant in the calculation of Same-Store Sales after 14 months of operations. A restaurant which is temporarily closed, is included in the Same-Store Sales computation. A restaurant which is closed permanently, such as upon termination of the lease, or other permanent closure, is immediately removed from the Same-Store Sales computation. Our calculation of Same-Store Sales may not be comparable to others in the industry.
“Digital Channel” % of systemwide sales is used to measure performance of our investments made in our digital platform and partnerships with third party delivery partners. We believe our digital platform capabilities are a vital element to continuing to serve our customers and will continue to be a differentiator for the Company as compared to some of our competitors. Digital Channel as percentages of Systemwide Sales are indicative of the sales placed through our digital platforms and the percentage of those digital sales when compared to total sales at all our franchised and corporate-owned restaurants.
“Adjusted EBITDA,” a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net loss before lease termination recovery, share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense (which includes accretion on the value of preferred stock and interest accretion on the related party note), restructuring costs, merger, acquisition and integration costs, legal settlements, net, store closure costs, (gain) loss on change in value of warrant liability, pre-opening costs and (gain) loss on sale of assets.
Unless otherwise stated, Systemwide Restaurant Sales, Systemwide Sales growth, and Same-Store Sales are presented on a systemwide basis, which means they include franchise restaurants and company-owned restaurants. Franchise restaurant sales represent sales at all franchise restaurants and are revenues to our franchisees. We do not record franchise sales as revenues; however, our royalty revenues and brand royalty revenues are calculated based on a percentage of franchise sales.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the measure Adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We use this non-GAAP financial measure for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our recurring core business operating results. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to this non-GAAP financial measure in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. This non-GAAP financial measure also facilitates management’s internal comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity as well as comparisons to our competitors’ operating results. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors both because (1) it allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) it is used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business.
There are a number of limitations related to the use of this non-GAAP financial measure. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from this non-GAAP financial measure and evaluating this non-GAAP financial measure together with its relevant financial measures in accordance with GAAP.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance is not being provided due to the nature of this forward-looking non-GAAP measure containing certain elements that are impractical to predict given their market-based nature, such as share-based compensation expense and gain and losses on change in value of warrant liabilities, without unreasonable efforts. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, nor can we accurately predict all of the components of the applicable non-GAAP financial measure and reconciling adjustments thereto; accordingly, guidance for the corresponding GAAP measure may be materially different than guidance for the non-GAAP measure. Such forward looking information is also subject to uncertainty and various risks, and there can be no assurance that any forecasted results or conditions will actually be achieved.
