NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND RELATIONSHIPS
Organization and Nature of Business
Twin Hospitality Group Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading franchisor and operator of two specialty casual dining restaurant concepts: Twin Peaks and Smokey Bones. As of March 30, 2025, our total restaurant footprint consisted of 171 restaurants, of which 74 are domestic franchised Twin Peaks restaurants operated by our franchisee partners, seven are international franchised Twin Peaks restaurants operated by a franchisee partner in Mexico, 35 are domestic company-owned Twin Peaks restaurants and 55 are domestic company-owned Smokey Bones restaurants.
The Company licenses the right to use the Twin Peaks brand name and provides franchisees with operating procedures and methods of merchandising. Upon signing a franchise agreement, the Company is committed to provide training, some supervision and assistance, and access to operations manuals. As needed, the Company will also provide advice and written materials concerning techniques of managing and operating the restaurants.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Our revenues are derived primarily from two sales channels, franchised restaurants and company-owned locations, which we operate as one reportable segment.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025.
Nature of operations – The Company operates on a 52-week calendar and its fiscal year ends on the last Sunday of the calendar year. Consistent with industry practice, the Company measures its stores’ performance based upon 7-day work weeks. Using the 52-week cycle ensures consistent weekly reporting for operations and ensures that each week has the same days since certain days are more profitable than others. The use of this fiscal year means a 53rd week is added to the fiscal year every five or six years. In a 52-week year, all four quarters are comprised of 13 weeks. In a 53-week year, one extra week is added to the fourth quarter.
Use of estimates in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements – The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets and allowances for uncollectible notes receivable and accounts receivable. Estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration Risk - 46.0 % of the Company's franchise revenue is derived from three franchisees.
Restricted Cash - The Company has restricted cash consisting of funds required to be held in trust in connection with its securitized debt. The current portion of restricted cash was $13.5 million as of March 30, 2025. Non-current restricted cash of $7.6 million as of March 30, 2025 includes interest reserves required to be set aside for the duration of the Securitized Debt.
8
Earnings per Share - Prior to the Spin-Off (see Note 11, Common Stock), as a single member LLC, the Company did not compute or disclose earnings per share calculations. Beginning in fiscal 2025, the Company reports basic and diluted earnings per loss.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement —Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued update 2025-01—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. The amendments require disclosure in the notes to financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The update should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.
The amendments require that public business entities on an annual basis disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The amendments also require that all entities disclose on an annual basis the income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments eliminate the requirement for all entities to disclose the nature and estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change in the unrecognized tax benefits balance in the next 12 months or make a statement that an estimate of the range cannot be made. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company plans to adopt the standard when it becomes effective for us beginning in our fiscal year 2025 annual financial statements, and we expect the adoption of this standard will impact certain of our income tax disclosures.

Twin Securitization Notes
The Twin Securitization Notes require that the principal (if any) and interest obligations be segregated to ensure appropriate funds are reserved to pay the quarterly principal and interest amounts due. The amount of monthly cash flow that exceeds the required monthly interest reserve is generally remitted to the Company. Interest payments are required to be made on a quarterly basis. The legal final maturity date of the Twin Securitization Notes is October 26, 2054; however, it is currently anticipated that, unless earlier prepaid to the extent permitted under the Base Indenture, the Twin Securitization Notes will be repaid on October 25, 2027 (the “Anticipated Repayment Date”). If the Twin Securitization Notes are not repaid or refinanced by the Anticipated Repayment Date, additional interest will accrue on the then outstanding balance of each class of the Twin Securitization Notes at a rate of 5.0 % per annum. Each class of the Twin Securitization Notes may be prepaid in whole or in part on any business day; provided that optional prepayment made after the Anticipated Repayment Date must be applied first to Class A-2-I, second to Class A-2-II, third to Class B-2 and fourth to Class M-2 of the Twin Securitization Notes.
Additionally, pursuant to the Base Indenture, upon each “Qualified Equity Offering” (as defined in the Base Indenture), which is a public or private offering by Twin Hospitality Group Inc. of our common equity securities for cash, subject to certain limited exceptions, Twin Hospitality Group Inc. is required to deposit 75 % of the net proceeds from such offering into a segregated, non-interest bearing trust account to be used towards the repayment of the Twin Securitization Notes, until an aggregate of $75.0 million has been repaid in that manner. If the amount of net proceeds from our Qualified Equity Offerings used for repayment of the Twin Securitization Notes is not at least $25.0 75.0 million on or prior to January 26, 2026, then under any such circumstance, a Cash Flow Sweeping Event (as defined in the Base Indenture) would occur, whereupon certain excess cash flows from our
14
operations will be used to make additional principal payments, on a pro rata basis, on the three most senior classes of the Twin Securitization Notes.
The material terms of the Twin Securitization Notes contain covenants which are standard and customary for these types of agreements, including the following financial covenants: (i) debt service coverage ratio, (ii) interest-only debt service coverage ratio and (iii) senior leverage ratio. As of March 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
Construction Loan Agreement (Twin Peaks)
On September 20, 2024, an indirect subsidiary of the Company entered into a loan agreement to borrow $3.2 million with an initial maturity of October 1, 2025, bearing interest at 12.5 % per annum and is secured by land and building of a new corporate restaurant. The construction loan was paid in full during the first quarter of 2025.

The difference between the statutory tax rate of 21 2.2 )% and (0.9 )% in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively, was primarily due to increases in the valuation allowance, nondeductible expenses and the impact of state income taxes.
NOTE 10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Effective January 15, 2025, the Company adopted the Twin Hospitality Group Inc. 2025 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Incentive Compensation Plan”). The Incentive Compensation Plan is a comprehensive incentive compensation plan under which the Company can grant equity-based and other incentive awards to officers, employees and directors of, and consultants and advisers to, Twin Hospitality Group Inc. and its subsidiaries.

NOTE 11. COMMON STOCK
On January 29, 2025, FAT Brands Inc. completed the legal and structural separation of our Company from FAT Brands (the “Spin-Off”). In the Spin-Off, FAT Brands distributed on a pro rata basis to the FAT Brands Common Stockholders 2,659,412 outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock with FAT Brands retaining the remaining 44,638,859 outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock and 100 % of the 2,870,000 outstanding shares of our Class B Common Stock. Following the Spin-Off, we are an independent publicly traded reporting company.
In connection with Spin-Off, the Company agreed to issue to the holders of the Twin Securitization Notes warrants exercisable for 2,364,913 shares of our Class A Common Stock that become exercisable during the period between commencing on October 25, 2025 and ending on the five-year anniversary of the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. As of March 30, 2025, the warrants had not been issued.
NOTE 12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
We may engage in transactions with other companies, owned or controlled by affiliates of FAT Brands Inc. in the normal course of business.
The Due to Affiliates represents the payable as of the end of the reporting period of advances (for capital expenditures or other working capital needs) received from FAT Brands Inc. or its affiliates and are settled in accordance with the legal and contractual restrictions governing transactions by and among the Parent's consolidated entities. The outstanding balance at March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024 was $26.8 million and $10.5 million, respectively.
NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The Company is periodically involved in various claims and litigation in the normal course of business. While the Company estimates its exposure for these claims and establishes reserves for the estimated probable liabilities, the actual liabilities could be in excess of these reserves. The Company believes that the result of any potential claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.
In May 2024, FAT Brands Inc. (“FAT Brands” or the “Parent”) was informed that it was indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) on two violations of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for directly and indirectly extending and/or arranging for the extension of credit in 2019 and 2020 to its former CEO Andrew Wiederhorn in the amount of $2.65 million. These charges allege that FAT Brands, through its subsidiary Fatburger N.A., transferred approximately $0.6 million to Mr. Wiederhorn in the form of a personal loan on January 30, 2019, and lent approximately $2 million in 2020 to its former parent company Fog Cutter Capital Group Inc. (“FCCG”) which indirectly funded a personal loan from FCCG to Mr. Wiederhorn. The indictment also includes charges against Mr. Wiederhorn, FAT Brands’ former CFO, Rebecca Hershinger, and FAT Brands’ former tax advisor, William Amon, on violations of various federal tax and other laws related to loans from FCCG to Mr. Wiederhorn.
Also in May 2024, the SEC filed a complaint against FAT Brands, claiming violations of Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933; Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), 13(b)(2)(B), 13(k), and 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and Rules 10b-5(b), 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-13, 14a-3, and 14a-9 thereunder. The SEC’s claims pertain principally to allegations that, for fiscal periods covering 2017 through 2020, FAT Brands failed to disclose certain related party transactions, failed to disclose the salaries of Mr. Wiederhorn’s adult children working at FAT Brands, failed to maintain proper books and records and internal accounting controls, made false or misleading statements regarding its liquidity and use of proceeds from certain transactions, and directly or indirectly extended credit to Mr. Wiederhorn in the form of a personal loan. The SEC’s complaint also names Mr. Wiederhorn, Ms. Hershinger, and FAT Brands’ SVP of Finance, Ron Roe, as defendants. The SEC is seeking injunctive relief, disgorgement, and civil monetary penalties.
The Parent intends to vigorously defend against such matters, which do not directly involve or allege any wrongdoing on the part of the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, as applicable. Certain statements made or incorporated by reference in this report and our other filings with the SEC, in our press releases, and in statements made by or with the approval of authorized personnel constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and are subject to the safe harbor created thereby. Forward-looking statements reflect intent, belief, current expectations, estimates or projections about, among other things, our industry, management’s beliefs, and future events and financial trends affecting us. Words such as “anticipates”, “expects”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “may”, “will”, and variations of these words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. These differences can arise as a result of the risks described in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2025“ and elsewhere in this report, as well as other factors that may affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition. Forward-looking statements in this report speak only as of the date hereof, and forward-looking statements in documents incorporated by reference speak only as of the date of those documents. Unless otherwise required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these risks and uncertainties, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements contained in this report will, in fact, transpire.
Executive Overview
Business overview
Twin Hospitality Group Inc. is a franchisor and operator of two specialty casual dining restaurant concepts: Twin Peaks and Smokey Bones. As of March 30, 2025, our total restaurant footprint consists of 171 restaurants, of which 74 are domestic franchised Twin Peaks restaurants operated by our franchisee partners, seven are international franchised Twin Peaks restaurants operated by a franchisee partner in Mexico, 35 are domestic company-owned Twin Peaks restaurants, and 55 are domestic company-owned Smokey Bones restaurants.
Our growth plan is driven by a robust pipeline of new restaurant developments. Our pipeline includes more than 100 signed franchised units as of March 30, 2025, providing significant visibility into our near-term growth trajectory. As we continue to expand, of the total number of anticipated new restaurant openings, we have a goal of having approximately 75% to 80% be franchised restaurants.
Our revenues are derived primarily from two sales channels, franchised restaurants and company owned restaurants, which we operate as one segment. The primary sources of revenues are the sale of food and beverages at our company restaurants and the collection of royalties, franchise fees and advertising revenue from sales of food and beverages at our franchised restaurants.
Results of Operations
The Company operates on a 52-week calendar and its fiscal year ends on the last Sunday of the calendar year. Consistent with industry practice, the Company measures its stores’ performance based upon 7-day work weeks. Using the 52-week cycle ensures consistent weekly reporting for operations and ensures that each week has the same days since certain days are more profitable than others. The use of this fiscal year means a 53rd week is added to the fiscal year every five or six years. In a 52-week year, all four quarters are comprised of 13 weeks. In a 53-week year, one extra week is added to the fourth quarter.

(1) As a percentage of company-owned restaurant sales
For the Thirteen Weeks Ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024:
Revenues
Total revenue decreased by $5.0 million, or 5.4%, to $87.1 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $92.1 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower same-store sales and lower revenues due to the closure of one Smokey Bones location during its conversion to a Twin Peaks lodge, partially offset by revenues generated by our new Twin Peaks lodges.
Company-owned restaurant sales decreased by $4.9 million, or 5.9%, to $78.4 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $83.3 million year-ago quarter, primarily due to the closure of three underperforming Smokey Bones locations, the temporary closure of one Smokey Bones location for conversion into a Twin Peaks lodge and lower same-store sales, partially offset by the opening of new Twin Peaks lodges.
Franchise revenue decreased by $0.1 million, or 0.8%, to $8.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $8.8 million in the year-ago quarter, as growth from our Twin Peaks franchise openings mostly offset the decline in same-store sales.
18
Costs and Expenses
Food and beverage costs decreased by $1.2 million, or 5.2%, to $21.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $22.4 million in the year-ago quarter, primarily due to lower same-store sales, partially offset by increases in the prices of food ingredients. As a percentage of company-owned restaurant sales, food and beverage costs increased to 27.1% in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 26.9% in the year-ago quarter as the increase in food costs were substantially offset by menu increases.
Labor and benefits costs decreased by $1.4 million, or 5.1%, to $25.3 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $26.6 million in the year-ago quarter, primarily due to lower same-store sales, partially offset by wage inflation. As a percentage of company-owned restaurant sales, labor and benefits costs increased to 32.2% in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 31.9% as wage inflation and sales deleveraging were mostly offset by menu price increases and labor inflation.
Other operating costs increased by $0.5 million, or 3.0%, to $16.8 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $16.4 million in the year-ago quarter, primarily due to new restaurant openings. As a percentage of company-owned restaurant sales, other operating costs was 21.5% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 19.6% in the year-ago quarter.
Other Expense, Net
Other expense, net was $10.8 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $10.5 million in the year-ago quarter, and in each year, other expense, net consisted primarily of interest expense.
Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax provision of $0.3 million and $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay our indebtedness and fund our business operations, acquisitions and expansion of our restaurant locations, and for other general business purposes. Our source of funds for liquidity during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 consisted primarily of cash generated by our operations.
We intend to expand our franchise locations, which will require significant liquidity, primarily from our franchisees. If real estate locations of sufficient quality cannot be located and either leased or purchased, the timing of restaurant openings may be delayed. Additionally, if we or our franchisees cannot obtain capital sufficient to fund this expansion, the extent of or timing of restaurant openings may be reduced or delayed.
To fund our cash requirements in the ordinary course of business, we anticipate that we will continue to primarily rely on our operating cash flows, supplemented by our total cash and cash equivalents. As a result, we believe we have sufficient sources of funding to meet our business requirements and plans for the next 12 months.
As of March 30, 2025, we had cash and restricted cash totaling $28.3 million.
Comparison of Cash Flows
Our cash and restricted cash balance was $28.3 million as of March 30, 2025, compared to $25.9 million as of December 29, 2024.
The following table summarizes key components of our audited consolidated cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024:
| Thirteen Weeks Ended | |||||||||||
| (in millions) | March 30, 2025 | March 31, 2024 | |||||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (5.7) | $ | (3.7) | |||||||
| Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | 0.4 | (3.7) | |||||||||
| Net cash provided by financing activities | 7.7 | 10.5 | |||||||||
| Net increase (decrease) in cash and restricted cash | $ | 2.4 | $ | 3.0 | |||||||
19
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities increased $2.0 million in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher debt service costs and by changes in working capital.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $0.4 million in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 and related to the sale leaseback of one company-owned Twin Peaks location during the quarter, partially offset by purchases of property and equipment in connection with company-owned restaurants. Net cash used in investing activities was $3.7 million in 2024, primarily related to purchases of property and equipment in connection with company-owned restaurants.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $7.7 million and $10.5 million in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively, primarily comprised of proceeds from borrowings and contributions from FAT Brands Inc.
Capital Expenditures
As of March 30, 2025, we do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Preparing condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the application of our accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2024 filed on February 28, 2025. Critical accounting estimates are those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. While we apply our judgment based on assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could vary from these assumptions. It is possible that materially different amounts would be reported using different assumptions. Our critical accounting estimates are identified and described in our annual consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 29, 2024 filed on February 28, 2025. There have been no material changes in such critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not Required.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s “Disclosure Controls and Procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Exchange Act as of March 30, 2025, have concluded that, in regard to the segregation of duties and the financial close process, our Disclosure Controls and Procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with an evaluation that occurred during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls
We do not expect that our Disclosure Controls and Procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedures are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
20
assurance that all control issues and instances of frauds, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
For a description of our material pending legal proceedings, please see Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which Note is incorporated by reference in this Item 1.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2025, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, cash flows or future results. There have been no material changes in such factors discussed in our Annual Report. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
None.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
