Such reclassification resulted in an increase to Advertising costs and Restaurant-level operating profit (a non-GAAP measure) for the third fiscal quarter 2025 and year-to-date third fiscal quarter 2025 of approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The Company believes that restaurant-level operating profit is an important measure for management and investors because it is widely regarded in the restaurant industry as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance. The Company defines restaurant-level operating profit to be restaurant revenues minus restaurant-level operating costs, excluding restaurant closures and impairment costs. The measure includes restaurant-level occupancy costs, which include fixed rents, percentage rents, common area maintenance charges, real estate and personal property taxes, general liability insurance and other property costs, but excludes depreciation. The measure excludes depreciation and amortization expense, substantially all of which is related to restaurant level assets, because such expenses represent historical sunk costs which do not reflect current cash outlay for the restaurants. The measure also excludes selling, general and administrative costs, and therefore excludes occupancy costs associated with selling, general and administrative functions, and preopening costs. The Company excludes restaurant closure costs as they do not represent a component of the efficiency of continuing operations. Restaurant impairment costs are excluded, because, like depreciation and amortization, they represent a non-cash charge for the Company’s investment in its restaurants and not a component of the efficiency of restaurant operations. Restaurant-level operating profit is not a measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative, to income from operations or net income as indicators of financial performance. Restaurant-level operating profit as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The tables set forth in this section certain unaudited information for the current and prior year fiscal quarters for fiscal 2026 and 2025, expressed as a percentage of total revenues, except for the components of restaurant operating costs, which are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenues.

Such reclassification resulted in an increase to Restaurant-level operating profit (a non-GAAP measure) for the third fiscal quarter 2025 and year-to-date third fiscal quarter 2025 of approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. 2 Prior to fourth quarter 2025, certain general and administrative activity now included in Other was combined and reported with the Bad Daddy's segment. In order to better align with our internal reporting and provide a better representation of restaurant-level operations, beginning with fourth quarter 2025, this activity has been removed from the Bad Daddy's segment. Fiscal 2025 figures have been recast for comparability. Certain percentage amounts in the table above do not total due to rounding Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA (Thousands of US Dollars) Quarter Ended Year-to-Date June 30, 2026 July 1, 2025 June 30, 2026 July 1, 2025 (13 weeks) (13 weeks) (39 weeks) (40 weeks) Adjusted EBITDA: Net income attributable to common shareholders, as reported $ 1,907 $ 1,487 $ 2,237 $ 1,027 Depreciation and amortization 922 1,000 2,783 3,071 Depreciation and amortization attributable to non-controlling interest (28 ) (24 ) (81 ) (74 ) Provision for income taxes (212 ) (363 ) (184 ) (309 ) Interest expense, net 24 51 111 153 EBITDA 2,613 2,151 4,866 3,868 Preopening expense1 - - - 8 Non-cash stock-based compensation2 21 25 66 90 Asset impairment3 18 - 245 494 Non cash gain on lease terminations and asset disposals4 (198 ) (105 ) (96 ) (99 ) Non-cash loss on asset disposals attributable to non-controlling interests4 - - - (3 ) Adjusted EBITDA $ 2,454 $ 2,071 $ 5,081 $ 4,358 1 Represents expenses directly associated with the opening of new or acquired restaurants, including preopening rent. 2 Represents non-cash stock-based compensation as described in Note 13 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 3 Represents costs recognized in connection with the asset impairment charges described in Note 11 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 4 Represents deferred gains on previous sale-leaseback transactions on two Good Times restaurants, gains on lease terminations, as well as (gains) losses on asset disposals. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of operating performance that does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations, as determined by GAAP, and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. This measure is presented because we believe that investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for evaluating our ongoing results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization and further adjustments to reflect the additions and eliminations presented in the table above. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because: (i) we believe it is a useful measure for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization expenses and asset disposals, closure costs and restaurant impairments, and (ii) we use Adjusted EBITDA internally as a benchmark for certain of our cash incentive plans and to evaluate our operating performance or compare our performance to that of our competitors. The use of Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance relative to our performance based on our GAAP results, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. Companies within our industry exhibit significant variations with respect to capital structures and cost of capital (which affect interest expense and income tax rates) and differences in book depreciation of property, plant and equipment (which affect relative depreciation expense), including significant differences in the depreciable lives of similar assets among various companies. Our management believes that Adjusted EBITDA facilitates company-to-company comparisons within our industry by eliminating some of these foregoing variations. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies, and our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by excluded or unusual items.
