Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
(Unaudited)
(1) Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Bowlero Corp., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (referred to herein as the “Company”, “Bowlero”, “we,” “us” and “our”) are the world’s largest operator of bowling entertainment centers.
The Company operates bowling entertainment centers under different brand names. Our AMF branded centers are traditional bowling centers and the Bowlero branded centers offer a more upscale entertainment concept with lounge seating, enhanced food and beverage offerings, and more robust customer service for individuals and group events. Additionally, within the brands, there exists a spectrum where some AMF branded centers are more upscale and some Bowlero branded centers are more traditional. All of our centers, regardless of branding, are managed in a fully integrated and consistent basis since all of our centers are in the same business of operating bowling entertainment.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. Our quarterly financial data should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2022.
Reverse Recapitalization: On December 15, 2021, (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (“BCA”) dated as of July 1, 2021, by and among Bowlero Corp. prior to the Closing Date (“Old Bowlero”) and Isos Acquisition Corporation (“Isos”).
Notwithstanding the legal form of the Business Combination pursuant to the BCA, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, Isos was treated as the acquired company and Old Bowlero was treated as the acquirer for accounting and financial statement reporting purposes.
The consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations prior to the reverse recapitalization are those of the Company, thus the shares and corresponding capital amounts and losses per share, prior to the reverse recapitalization, have been retroactively restated based on shares reflecting the exchange ratio of 24.841 established in the BCA.
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements and related notes include the accounts of Bowlero Corp. and the subsidiaries it controls. Control is determined based on ownership rights or, when applicable, based on whether the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The Company’s interest in 20% to 50% owned companies that are not controlled are accounted for using the equity method, unless the Company does not sufficiently influence the management of the investee. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates:    The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the balance sheets, statement of operations and accompanying notes. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, cash flow projections; the fair value of assets and liabilities in acquisitions; derivatives with hedge accounting; share-based compensation; depreciation and impairment of long-lived assets; carrying amount and recoverability analyses of property and equipment, assets held for sale, goodwill and other intangible assets; valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and income tax uncertainties; and reserves for litigation, claims and self-insurance costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair-value Estimates:    We have various financial instruments included in our financial statements. Financial instruments are carried in our financial statements at either cost or fair value. We estimate fair value of assets and liabilities using the following hierarchy using the highest level possible:
Level 1:     Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities.
10
Level 2:    Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but are corroborated by market data.
Level 3:    Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash:    The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash equivalents of $6,758 and $88,067 at January 1, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively. The Company accepts a range of debit and credit cards, and these transactions are generally transmitted to a bank for reimbursement within 24 hours. The payments due from the banks for these debit and credit card transactions are generally received, or settled, within 24 to 48 hours of the transmission date. The Company considers all debit and credit card transactions that settle in less than seven days to be cash equivalents. Amounts due from the banks for these transactions classified as cash equivalents totaled $15,132 and $8,688 at January 1, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively. The Company considers sales proceeds from a sale lease back transaction held by an intermediary in a qualified account as restricted cash, as part of like-kind exchange under U.S. tax law.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheet to the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows:
January 1, 2023July 3, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents$79,446 $132,236 
Restricted cash10,363 — 
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$89,809 $132,236 
Marketable Securities:  Our investments in marketable equity securities are measured at fair value with the related gains and losses recognized in other income. The unrealized gains recognized on equity securities held at January 1, 2023 for the periods ended January 1, 2023 were as follows:
Three Months EndedSix Months Ended
January 1, 2023January 1, 2023
Unrealized gain$680 $625 
Derivatives:    We are exposed to interest rate risk. To manage these risks, we entered into interest rate swap derivative transactions associated with a portion of our outstanding debt. The interest rate swaps were designated for accounting purposes as cash flow hedges of forecasted floating interest payments on variable rate debt. The Company's interest rate swaps expired on June 30, 2022.
The reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) into income during each reporting period were as follows:
Three Months EndedSix Months Ended
January 1, 2023December 26, 2021January 1, 2023December 26, 2021
Interest expense reclassified from AOCI into net loss$— $2,203 $— $4,405 
The fair value of the swap and cap agreements excludes accrued interest and takes into consideration current interest rates and current likelihood of the swap counterparties’ compliance with its contractual obligations. There are no income taxes related to the amounts recorded to AOCI due to tax credits and the full valuation allowance on deferred taxes.
Net (Loss) Income Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders:    We compute net (loss) income per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock under the two-class method. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock have equal rights to the earnings of the Company. Our participating securities include the redeemable convertible preferred stock that have a non-forfeitable right to dividends in the event that a dividend is paid on common stock, but do not participate in losses, and thus are not included in a two-class method in periods of loss. Since the Company has reported net loss for the current period, all potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as their effect is antidilutive and accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same for the current period presented. Dilutive securities include convertible preferred stock, earnouts, stock options, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). See Note 15 - Net (Loss) Income Per Share.
Emerging Growth Company Status: The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting

requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with those of another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards:   We reviewed the accounting pronouncements that became effective for our fiscal year 2023 and besides ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”), we determined that either they were not applicable, or they did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
As a result of ASU 2020-05, Topic 842 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company will adopt Topic 842 as of July 4, 2022 within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending July 2, 2023. The Company intends to adopt the new standard using a modified retrospective transition approach and will apply the provisions at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before the effective date. The new standard provides a number of optional practice expedients in transition. The Company intends to elect the practical expedients to not reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. Additionally, we do not intend to elect the practical expedient allowing the use of hindsight or the practical expedient related to land easements. The Company is still evaluating the practical expedients related to ongoing lease accounting. Although management continues to evaluate the impacts on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures, management currently estimates total assets and liabilities will increase approximately $500,000 to $600,000. This estimate may change as the Company’s implementation progresses, the Company’s lease portfolio changes, and if discount rates fluctuate prior to adoption. The Company estimates that this standard will result in a material impact to our balance sheet primarily from the recognition of operating lease right of use assets and liabilities. We do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our statement of operations or cash flows.

(3) Business Acquisitions
Acquisitions: The Company continually evaluates potential acquisitions of bowling entertainment centers, which can be either business combinations or asset purchases, that strategically fit within the Company’s existing portfolio of centers as a key part of the Company’s overall growth strategy in order to expand our market share in key geographic areas, and to improve our ability to leverage our fixed costs.
2023 Business Acquisitions: For business combinations, the Company allocates the consideration transferred to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values as of the acquisition
12
date. We estimate the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using valuation techniques, such as the income, cost and market approaches. During the six months ended January 1, 2023, the Company had nine business acquisitions in which we acquired eleven bowling entertainment centers for a total consideration of $79,582. The Company is still in the process of finalizing the acquisition date fair values. The remaining fair value estimates include working capital, intangibles, property and equipment, and capital lease assets and liabilities. For business combinations, we will continue to refine our estimates throughout the permitted measurement period, which may result in corresponding offsets to goodwill. We expect to finalize the valuations as soon as possible, but no later than one year after the acquisition dates. Fair values for acquisitions that were considered preliminary at July 3, 2022 were finalized with immaterial adjustments.
The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocations for the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, components of consideration transferred and the transactional related expenses using the acquisition method of accounting:

See Note 17 - Subsequent Events for further information concerning the amendment of the First Lien Credit Agreement.
First Lien Credit Facility Term Loan: The First Lien Credit Facility Term Loan is repaid on a quarterly basis on the last business day of the last month of each calendar quarter in principal payments of $2,053.
Obligations owed under the First Lien Credit Facility Term Loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable LIBOR rate, subject to a floor of 1.00%, plus an applicable margin of 3.50%. Interest on term loans under the First Lien Credit Facility bearing interest based upon the Base Rate will be due quarterly, and interest on loans bearing interest based upon the LIBOR rate will be due on the last day of each relevant interest period or, if sooner, on the respective dates that fall every three months after the beginning of such interest period.
Pursuant to the First Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreements, obligations owed under the First Lien Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest on substantially all assets of Bowlero Corp and the guarantor subsidiaries. The First Lien Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, asset dispositions, dividends and affirmative and negative covenants.
Revolver: On December 15, 2021, the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment (“Sixth Amendment”) to the First Lien Credit Agreement, by and among Bowlero, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders.
Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, the revolving credit facility under the First Lien Credit Agreement was refinanced and replaced by a $140,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (“Revolver”), which has a maturity date of the earlier of December 15, 2026 or the date that is 90 days prior to the scheduled maturity date of any term loans outstanding under the First Lien Credit Facility Term Loan in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $175,000. Since the First Lien Credit Agreement matures on July 3, 2024, the maturity date for the Revolver is currently April 4, 2024. Interest on borrowings under the Revolver is initially based on either the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or the Alternate Base Rate, as further described in the First Lien Credit Agreement.
In addition, on December 17, 2021, Bowlero entered into a Seventh Amendment (“Seventh Amendment”) to the First Lien Credit Agreement pursuant to which the total revolving commitments under the Revolver were increased by $25,000 to an aggregate amount of $165,000. No changes, other than increasing the aggregate principal amount of revolving commitments thereunder, were made to the terms of the Revolver in connection with the Seventh Amendment.
The Revolver is subject to, among other provisions, covenants regarding indebtedness, liens, negative pledges, restricted payments, certain prepayments of indebtedness, cross-default with other agreements relating to indebtedness, investments, fundamental changes, disposition of assets, sale and lease-back transactions, transactions with affiliates, amendments of or waivers with respect to restricted debt and permitted activities of Bowlero. In addition, the Revolver is subject to a financial covenant requiring that the First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) not exceed 6.00:1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter if the Revolver is at least 35% utilized (subject to certain exclusions) at the end of such fiscal quarter.
The Revolver is also subject to customary events of defaults. Payment of borrowings under the Revolver may be accelerated if there is an event of default, and Bowlero would no longer be permitted to borrow additional funds under the Revolver while a default or event of default were outstanding. No changes were made to the terms of the term loan under the First Lien Credit Agreement in connection with the Sixth Amendment or the Seventh Amendment.
16
Letters of Credit:    Outstanding standby letters of credit as of January 1, 2023 and July 3, 2022 totaled $10,386, and are guaranteed by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. The available amount of the Revolver is reduced by the outstanding standby letters of credit.
Other Equipment Loans: On August 19, 2022, the Company entered into an equipment loan agreement for a principal amount of $15,350 with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. The loan matures August 19, 2029 and bears a fixed interest rate of 6.24%.The loan is repaid on a monthly basis in fixed payments of $153 plus a final payment at maturity. The loan obligation is secured by a lien on the equipment. Other equipment loans entered into by the Company were immaterial.
Covenant Compliance: The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of January 1, 2023.
(9) Income Taxes
The Company uses the estimated annual effective tax rate method for calculating its tax provision in interim periods, which represents the Company's best estimate of the effective tax rate expected for the full year. Certain items, including those deemed to be unusual, infrequent or that cannot be reliably estimated (discrete items), are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate, and the related tax expense or benefit is reported in the same period as the related item. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended January 1, 2023 was 6.5%, which differs from the US federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to certain non-deductible expenses, changes in the valuation allowance, and state and local taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended December 26, 2021 was 23.7% tax benefit and differs from the US federal statutory rate of 21% due to changes in the valuation allowance, state and local taxes, and the release of a portion of the valuation allowance resulting from the acquisition of Bowl America.
(10) Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Claims: The Company is currently, and from time to time may be, subject to claims and actions arising in the ordinary course of its business, including general liability, fidelity, workers’ compensation, employment claims, and Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) claims. The Company has insurance to cover general liability and workers’ compensation claims and reserves for claims and actions in the ordinary course. The insurance is subject to a self-insured retention. In some actions, plaintiffs request punitive or other damages that may not be covered by insurance.
There is currently a group of approximately 73 pending claims, filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”) between 2016 and 2019, generally relating to claims of age discrimination. To date, the EEOC issued determinations of probable cause as to 55 of the charges, which the Company contests and intends to defend vigorously. The EEOC has also alleged a pattern or practice of age discrimination, which resulted in a determination of probable cause and, on August 22, 2022, the EEOC submitted a proposal for the Company to participate in the conciliation process. The EEOC’s proposal includes a demand for monetary and non-monetary remedies. The Company contests such determination and intends to defend vigorously. The Company cannot estimate the possible range of loss, if any, associated with these EEOC matters.
(11) Earnouts
Old Bowlero’s stockholders and option holders received additional shares of Bowlero common stock (the “Earnout Shares”). Earnout Shares vest during the period from and after the Closing Date until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Earnout Period”). The following tranches of Earnout Shares were issued to Old Bowlero stockholders:
(a)10,375,000 Earnout Shares, if the closing share price of Bowlero’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (Class A common stock) equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for any 10 trading days within any consecutive 20-trading day period that occurs after the Closing Date during the Earnout Period and
(b)10,375,000 Earnout Shares, if the closing share price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $17.50 per share for any 10 trading days within any consecutive 20-trading day period during the Earnout Period.
During the Earnout Period, if Bowlero experiences an Acceleration Event, which as detailed in the BCA includes a change of control, liquidation or dissolution of the Company, bankruptcy or the assignment for the benefit of creditors the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for all or substantially all the assets or properties of the Company, then any Earnout Shares that have not been previously issued by Bowlero (whether or not previously earned) to the Bowlero stockholders or holders of Options or Earnout shares issued but not vested will be deemed earned and issued or vested by Bowlero as of immediately prior to the Acceleration Event, unless, in the case of an Acceleration Event, the value of the consideration to be received by the holders of Bowlero common stock in such change of control transaction is less than the applicable stock price thresholds described above. If the consideration received in such Acceleration Event is not solely cash, Bowlero’s Board of Directors will determine the treatment of the Earnout Shares.
17
As part of the Sponsor Support Agreement, Isos and LionTree were issued 1,611,278 Earnout Shares which vest during the period from and after the Closing Date during the Earnout Period: (a) 805,639 Earnout Shares if the closing share price of Bowlero’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for any 10 trading days within any consecutive 20-trading day period that occurs after the Closing Date during the Earnout Period and (b) 805,639 Earnout Shares, if the closing share price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $17.50 per share for any 10 trading days within any consecutive 20-trading day period during the Earnout Period. As a result of the cashless exercise of their unvested private placement warrants, the Sponsor and LionTree were issued 475,440 additional Earnout Shares, which vest during the period from and after the Closing Date during the Earnout Period: (a) 237,721 Earnout Shares if the closing share price of Bowlero’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for any 10 trading days within any consecutive 20-trading day period that occurs after the Closing Date during the Earnout Period and (b) 237,719 Earnout Shares, if the closing share price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $17.50 per share for any 10 trading days within any consecutive 20-trading day period during the Earnout Period.
All but 123,142 Earnout Shares are classified as a liability and changes in the fair value of the Earnout Shares in future periods will be recognized in the statement of operations. Those Earnout Shares not classified as a liability are classified as equity compensation to employees and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the expected term or upon the contingency being met.
(12) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
The Company’s significant assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition include assets held for sale. We utilize third party brokers for an estimate of value to record the assets held for sale at their fair value less costs to sell. These inputs are classified as Level 2 fair value measurements.
Other Financial Instruments
Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The financial statement carrying amounts of these items approximate the fair value due to their short duration.
(13) Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity

If the Company does not pay all or any portion of the dividends that have accumulated as of any payment date, then the dollar amount of the dividends not paid in cash will be added to the liquidation preference and deemed to be declared and paid in-kind. As of January 1, 2023, there have been no dividends declared or paid in cash. For the period ended January 1, 2023, accumulated dividends in the amount of $5,665 were added to the liquidation preference and deemed to be declared and paid in-kind.
The Preferred Stock is redeemable if a Fundamental Change occurs and each holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase such holders’ shares of Preferred Stock or any portion thereof for a cash purchase price. A Fundamental Change includes events such as a person or a group becoming direct or indirect owners of shares of the Company’s Common Stock representing more than 50% of the voting power, consummation of a transaction with which all the Common Stock is exchanged for, converted into, acquired for, or constitutes solely the right to receive cash or other property, Company’s stockholders approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or the Company’s Common Stock ceases to be listed on any of the NYSE or The Nasdaq Global Market or The Nasdaq Global Select Market (or any of their respective successors).
The Company has classified the Preferred Stock as temporary equity as the shares have certain redemption features that are not solely in the control of the Company. The Preferred Stock is not currently redeemable because the deemed liquidation provision is considered a substantive condition that is contingent on the event and it is not currently probable that it will become redeemable.
Shares and Warrant Repurchase Program
On February 7, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share and warrant repurchase program providing for repurchases of up to $200,000 of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock and warrants through February 3, 2024. Treasury stock purchases are stated at cost and presented as a reduction of equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Repurchases of shares and warrants are made in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made from time to time in the open market or by negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of repurchases are based on a variety of factors, including stock price, regulatory limitations, debt agreement limitations, and other market and economic factors. The share repurchase plan does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the Company may terminate the repurchase plan at any time.
As of January 1, 2023, the remaining balance of the repurchase plan was $146,650. For the six months ended January 1, 2023, 1,097,780 shares of Class A common stock were repurchased for a total of $13,411, for an average purchase price per share of $12.22.
(14) Share-Based Compensation
The Company has three stock plans: the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (“2017 Plan”), the Bowlero Corp. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2021 Plan”) and the Bowlero Corp. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). These stock incentive plans are designed to attract and retain key personnel by providing them the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company and align the interest of key personnel with those of the Company’s stockholders.
As of January 1, 2023 and July 3, 2022, the total compensation cost not yet recognized is as follows:

On February 8, 2023, the Company entered into an Eighth Amendment (“Eighth Amendment”) to the First Lien Credit Agreement pursuant to which the total principal amount under the First Lien Credit Facility Term Loan was increased to $900,000 from $812,850, and the maturity date was extended to February 8, 2028. In addition, the total revolving commitments under the Revolver were increased to $200,000 from $165,000, and extended the maturity date to December 15, 2026.

Overview
Bowlero Corp. is the world’s largest operator of bowling entertainment centers. The Company operates traditional bowling centers and more upscale entertainment concepts with lounge seating, arcades, enhanced food and beverage offerings, and more robust customer service for individuals and group events, as well as hosting and overseeing professional and non-professional bowling tournaments and related broadcasting.
The Company remains focused on creating long-term shareholder value through continued organic growth, the conversion and upgrading of centers to more upscale entertainment concepts offering a broader range of offerings, the opening of new centers and acquisitions. A core tenet of our long-term strategy to increase profitability is to grow the size
24
and scale of the Company in order to improve our leverage of Selling, General and Administrative expenses (“SG&A”). For the second quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company’s total revenue (inclusive of acquisitions and new centers) increased by 33% and the Company’s total revenue on a same-store basis increased by 27%.
Same-store revenues includes revenue from centers that are open in periods presented (open in both the current period and the prior period being reported) and excludes revenues from centers that are not open in both periods presented, such as recently acquired centers or centers closed for upgrades, renovations or other such reasons, as well as media revenues. We continue to see positive momentum for future demand and we have recovered to better than pre-pandemic performance. While we generated a strong financial performance prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and during the previous six quarters, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, various COVID-19 virus variants, the governmental actions imposed in response to the pandemic, and the resulting consequences on our consumer’s risk tolerance toward health and safety matters remains uncertain.
The Business Combination
On December 15, 2021, we completed the business combination (the “Business Combination”) contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2021, as amended on November 1, 2021 (the Business Combination Agreement), by and among Isos Acquisition Corporation (“Isos”) and Bowlero Corp. (“Old Bowlero”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Old Bowlero was merged with and into Isos, with Isos surviving the merger, and Isos was renamed “Bowlero Corp.”
Recent Developments
Bowlero’s results for the three and six months ended January 1, 2023 exhibited continued strong revenue growth. This growth has been bolstered by technology driven performance enhancements, the strength of our business model, the increase in confidence of our customers and the resilience in the bowling market. Additionally, the further improvements in our quarterly results demonstrate our continued ability to execute our growth strategy and business model. To highlight the Company’s recent activity during the six months ended January 1, 2023:
•We made nine acquisitions in which we acquired eleven bowling entertainment centers, adding a total of 38 net new centers since the start of fiscal 2022, which we believe will aid the Company in several key geographic markets and aid in leveraging our fixed costs. We have a strong pipeline of potential acquisitions we continue to actively evaluate.
•We signed two agreements for build-outs of new bowling entertainment centers and have a total of five signed agreements for build-outs of new bowling entertainment centers in prime markets.
•On February 8, 2023, the Company entered into an Eighth Amendment to the First Lien Credit Agreement pursuant to which the total principal amount under the First Lien Credit Facility Term Loan was increased to $900,000 from $812,850, and the maturity date was extended to February 8, 2028. In addition, the total revolving commitments under the Revolver were increased to $200,000 from $165,000, and extended the maturity date to December 15, 2026. Proceeds were used to refinance the existing term loan under the First Lien Credit Agreement, to repay all amounts outstanding under the Revolver, and for general corporate purposes.
We continue to address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the governmental actions imposed in response to it. The rise of other variants of COVID-19 and public health officials’ response to potential resurgences in the virus could impact our future operations. Although we believe our recent results, actions and goals exhibit our strength in the bowling market and our position for the future growth, we may incur future unplanned expenses related to training, hiring and retaining associates, and navigating the disruption in the food and beverage supply chains, whether due to the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise. For more details, see the risk factors included under “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Bowlero’s Business and Industry” in our previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2022.
Trends
There are a number of factors that could materially affect our future profitability, including changing economic conditions with the resulting impact on our sales, profitability, and capital spending, changes in our debt levels and applicable interest rates, and increasing prices of labor, raw materials and other food and beverage costs. Additionally, sales and results of operations could be impacted by acquisitions and restructuring projects. Restructuring can include
25
various projects, including closure of centers not performing well, cost reductions through staffing reductions, and optimizing and allocating resources to improve profitability.

Revenues: For the quarter ended January 1, 2023, revenues totaled $273,385 and represented an increase of $68,195, or 33%, over the same period of last fiscal year because of organic growth and increases in revenue due to higher center count. The overall increase in revenues is due to our ability to execute our growth strategy and business model with the impact of 15 new centers compared to the same period last year and continued revenue growth in our existing centers, resulting from an increase in event revenue, league revenue, broader and enhanced range of offerings, as well as the impact of positive market conditions and price increases. The following table summarizes the increase in our revenues on a same-store-basis for the quarter ended January 1, 2023 as compared to the corresponding period last fiscal year:
26
Three Months Ended
(in thousands)January 1, 2023December 26, 2021Change% Change
Center revenues on a same-store basis$253,752 $199,332 $54,420 27.3 %
Revenues for media, new and closed centers19,633 5,85813,775235.1 %
Total revenues$273,385 $205,190 $68,195 33.2 %
Same-store revenues includes revenue from centers that are open in periods presented (open in both the current period and the prior period being reported) and excludes revenues from centers that are not open in periods presented such as acquired new centers or centers closed for upgrades, renovations or other such reasons, as well as media revenues. The increase in same-store revenues during the quarter ended January 1, 2023 reflects, among other factors, continued favorable demand for our products and services and price increases.
Cost of Revenues:    Our cost of revenues includes costs that are not variable or are less variable with changes in revenues, such as depreciation, amortization, rent and property taxes, as well as more variable costs that include labor, food and beverage costs, prize funds, supplies, production expenses and amusement costs. The increase in cost of revenues of $38,323, or 27%, is mainly due to the increase in revenues, as well as higher costs due to inflation. Increases in costs were in most areas and include higher costs within labor, utilities, food & beverage, and increases in depreciation, insurance, advertising and other operational costs such as security and supplies. Higher labor costs mainly reflect additional staffing and higher labor pay rates to support growing business. Depreciation costs increased because of added depreciable assets from acquisitions of businesses, asset acquisitions and capital expenditures. Cost of revenues as a percent of revenues decreased from 69% during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 to almost 66% during the second quarter of fiscal 2023, mainly due to improved operating leverage since revenues increased at a higher rate than costs. Additionally, we have recently increased prices in an effort to address the impact of higher costs and to support margin and profit dollars.
Gross Profit:    Our gross profit increased $29,872 or 47% to $93,679 primarily due to the $68,195 increase in revenues and the 3% increase in gross profit margin (gross profit divided by revenues). The increase in grow profit margin is due to a number of factors, including higher operating leverage in that revenues increased at a higher rate than costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”):    SG&A expenses include employee-related costs, such as payroll and benefits, as well as depreciation and amortization (excluding those related to our center operations), media and promotional expenses. SG&A expenses decreased $58,831 or 63% to $34,452, mainly due to $68,405 in transaction costs during the prior fiscal year related to the Business Combination, which were partially offset by increases during the current fiscal period in various costs not directly associated with the Business Combination.
The increases in SG&A costs not directly associated with the Business Combination include compensation costs, insurance and increases in other costs, including professional fees and rent. Increases in compensation and benefits were $4,280 , equity compensation increased $2,349, insurance costs increased $1,040, professional fees increased $690 and rent increased $221. The increase in compensation costs not associated with the Business Combination mainly reflects rebuilding staff after the interruption caused by the pandemic, increases in pay rates and higher staffing to support the increase in business and the costs we incur as a public reporting company. The increase in share-based compensation costs not associated with the Business Combination reflects new equity awards to key members of management as an incentive to motivate and retain associates. The increases in insurance costs, professional fees and rent not directly related to the Business Combination include higher costs associated with the growth in our business, costs associated with being a public reporting company and higher costs due to inflation. Total SG&A expenses as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was approximately 13%, as compared to 45% during the corresponding period last fiscal year. Excluding the impact of the transaction costs associated with the Business Combination, SG&A costs as a percentage of revenues increased slightly from 12% to 13% mainly due to costs increasing at a higher rate than revenues.
Other operating expense:    Other operating expenses include various cost, including professional fees related to transactions, such as acquisitions of centers. The decrease in other operating expenses is mainly due to the timing, volume of transactions and related activities, such as due diligence and contract negotiations, as compared to the same period of last fiscal year.
Interest expense, net:    Interest expense primarily relates to interest on debt and capital leases. Interest expense increased $3,499, or 15%, to $27,379. The higher interest expense is primarily the result of higher interest rates and our increased debt and capital lease obligations during fiscal 2023.
Change in fair value of earnouts: Changes in the fair value of the earnout liabilities are recognized in the statement of operations. Decreases in the liability will have a favorable impact on the statement of operations and increases in the liability will have an unfavorable impact. The estimated fair value of the earnout liability is determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. Inputs that have a significant effect on the valuation include the expected volatility, stock price, expected term, risk-free interest rate and performance hurdles. The unfavorable impact on the statement of operations
27
during the quarter ended January 1, 2023 is a non-cash expense and was due to the increase in the fair value of the earnouts, which mainly reflects the increase in the Company’s stock price in the current quarter.
Income Taxes:    Income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management’s assessment of the Company’s tax position. The increase in income tax expense during the three months ended January 1, 2023 as compared to the three months ended December 26, 2021 mainly reflects the increase in the overall effective tax rate resulting from higher income. The effective tax rate of 51.5% for the quarter ended January 1, 2023 was primarily attributed to state income tax expense due to, higher income and certain non-deductible expenses offset in part by changes in the valuation allowance. The effective tax rate of 1.1% for the quarter ended December 26, 2021 primarily reflected state income tax expenses.

(1) Percent calculated as a percentage of revenues and may not total due to rounding.
Revenues: For the six months ended January 1, 2023, revenues totaled $503,645 and represented an increase of $117,477, or 30%, over the same period of last fiscal year because of organic growth and increases in revenue due to higher center count. The overall increase in revenues is due to our ability to execute our growth strategy and business model with the impact of 34 new centers compared to the same period last year and continued revenue growth in our existing centers, resulting from an increase in event revenue, our broader and enhanced range of offerings, as well as the impact of positive market conditions and price increases. The following table summarizes the increase in our revenues on a same-store-basis for the six months ended January 1, 2023 as compared to the corresponding period last fiscal year:
28
Six Months Ended
(in thousands)January 1, 2023December 26, 2021Change% Change
Center revenues on a same-store basis$448,056 $363,297 $84,759 23.3 %
Revenues for media, new and closed centers55,589 22,87132,718 143.1 %
Total revenues$503,645 $386,168 $117,477 30.4 %
Same-store revenues includes revenue from centers that are open in periods presented (open in both the current period and the prior period being reported) and excludes revenues from centers that are not open in periods presented such as acquired new centers or centers closed for upgrades, renovations or other such reasons, as well as media revenues. The increase in same-store revenues during the six months ended January 1, 2023 reflects, among other factors, continued favorable demand for our products and services and price increases.
Cost of Revenues:    Our cost of revenues includes costs that are not variable or less variable with changes in revenues, such as depreciation, amortization, rent and property taxes, as well as more variable costs that include labor, food and beverage costs, prize funds, supplies, production expenses and amusement costs. The increase in cost of revenues of $76,657, or 29%, is mainly due to the increase in revenues, as well as higher costs due to inflation. Increases in costs were in most areas and include higher costs with labor, utilities, food and beverage, as well as increases in depreciation, insurance and other operational costs such as security and supplies. Labor costs were higher because of additional staffing and higher labor pay rates to support growing business. Depreciation costs increased because of added depreciation from acquisitions of businesses, asset acquisitions and capital expenditures. Cost of revenues as a percent of revenues decreased from 69% during the first six months of fiscal 2022 to almost 66% during the first six months of fiscal 2023, mainly due to improved operating leverage with revenues increasing at a faster rate than costs. Additionally, we have recently increased prices in an effort to address the impact of higher costs and to improve margins.
Gross Profit:    Our gross profit increased $40,820 or 35% to $158,737 primarily due to the $117,477 increase in revenues and the 1% increase in gross profit margin (gross profit divided by revenues). The increase in grow profit margin is due to a number of factors, including higher operating leverage in that revenues increased at a higher rate than costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”):    SG&A expenses include employee-related costs, such as payroll and benefits, as well as depreciation and amortization (excluding those related to our center operations), media and promotional expenses. SG&A expenses decreased $47,752 or 42% to $66,946, mainly due to the $68,405 in transaction costs during the prior fiscal year related to the Business Combination, which were partially offset by increases during the current fiscal period in various costs not directly associated with the Business Combination.
The increases in SG&A costs not directly associated with the Business Combination include compensation costs, insurance and increases in other costs, including professional fees. Increases in compensation and benefits were $8,970, equity compensation increased $6,227, insurance costs increased $2,070, and professional fees increased $1,402. The increase in compensation costs not associated with the Business Combination mainly reflects rebuilding staff after the interruption caused by the pandemic, increases in pay rates and higher staffing to support the increase in business and the costs we incur as a public reporting company. The increase in share-based compensation costs not associated with the Business Combination reflects new equity awards to key members of management as an incentive to motivate and retain associates. The increases in insurance costs and professional fees not directly related to the Business Combination include higher costs associated with the growth in our business, costs associated with being a public reporting company and higher costs due to inflation. Total SG&A expenses as a percent of net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2023 was approximately 13%, as compared to 30% during the corresponding period last fiscal year. Excluding the impact of the transaction costs associated with the Business Combination, SG&A costs as a percentage of revenues increased from 12% to 13% mainly due to costs increasing at a higher rate than revenues.
Other operating expense:    Other operating expenses include various cost, including professional fees related to transactions, such as acquisitions of centers. The increase in other operating expenses is mainly due to an increase in the volume of transactions as compared to the same period of last fiscal year.
Interest expense, net:    Interest expense primarily relates to interest on debt and capital leases. Interest expense increased $4,141, or 9%, to $50,949. The higher interest expense is primarily the result of higher interest rates and our increased debt and capital lease obligations during fiscal 2023.
Change in fair value of earnouts: Changes in the fair value of the earnout liabilities are recognized in the statement of operations. Decreases in the liability will have a favorable impact on the statement of operations and increases in the liability will have an unfavorable impact. The change in the fair value of the earnout for the first six months of fiscal 2023 when compared to the comparable period of the prior fiscal year, resulted in an unfavorable change of $94,078. The estimated fair value of the earnout liability is determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. Inputs that have a significant effect on the valuation include the expected volatility, stock price, expected term, risk-free interest rate and
29
performance hurdles. The unfavorable impact on the statement of operations during the six months ended January 1, 2023 is a non-cash expense and was due to the increase in the fair value of the earnouts, which mainly reflects the increase in the Company’s stock price in the current quarter.
Income Taxes:    Income tax expense (benefit) and deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management’s assessment of the Company’s tax position. The change to an income tax expense for the six months ended January 1, 2023 from an income tax benefit for the corresponding period the prior fiscal year mainly reflects the release of a portion of the valuation allowances for deferred income taxes during the prior fiscal year and higher levels of income during the current fiscal year. The effective tax rate of 6.5% for the six months ended January 1, 2023 was primarily attributed to state income tax expense and certain non-deductible expenses offset in part by changes in the valuation allowance. The effective tax rate benefit of 23.7% for the six months ended December 26, 2021 was due to changes in the valuation allowance and the release of a portion of the valuation allowance resulting from the acquisition of Bowl America offset in part by state and local income taxes.
Non-GAAP measure
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes certain financial measures which meet the definition of non-GAAP financial measures provide important supplemental information. The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA as an important financial measure because it provides a financial measure of the quality of the Company’s earnings. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, which might limit its usefulness as a comparative measure. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management in addition to and in conjunction with the results presented in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, we believe trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA provides the current run-rate for trending purposes, rather than annualizing the respective quarters, as the Company’s business is seasonal, with the second and third fiscal quarters being higher than the first and last quarters. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA solely as a supplemental disclosure because we believe it allows for a more complete analysis of results of operations and assists investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance, such as Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, Impairment Charges, Share-based Compensation, EBITDA from Closed Centers, Foreign Currency Exchange (Gain) Loss, Asset Disposition (Gain) Loss, Transactional and other advisory costs, Charges attributed to new initiatives, Extraordinary unusual or non-recurring gains or losses and Changes in the value of earnouts and warrants. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that Adjusted EBITDA and trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect:
•every expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•changes in our working capital needs;
•the interest expense, or the amounts necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our outstanding debt;
•income tax expense (benefit), and because the payment of taxes is part of our operations, tax expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to operate;
•non-cash equity compensation, which will remain a key element of our overall equity based compensation package; and
•the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations.
Refer to notes below for additional details concerning the respective items for Adjusted EBITDA.

Notes to Adjusted EBITDA:
(1)The closed center adjustment is to remove EBITDA for closed centers. Closed centers are those centers that are closed for a variety of reasons, including permanent closure, newly acquired or built centers prior to opening, centers closed for renovation or rebranding and conversion. Closed centers do not include centers closed in compliance with local, state and federal government restrictions due to COVID-19. If a center is not open on the last day of the reporting period, it will be considered closed for that reporting period. If the center is closed on the first day of the reporting period for permanent closure, the center will be considered closed for that reporting period.
(2)The adjustment for transaction costs and other advisory costs is to remove charges incurred in connection with any transaction, including mergers, acquisitions, refinancing, amendment or modification to indebtedness, dispositions and costs in connection with an initial public offering, in each case, regardless of whether consummated.
(3)The adjustment for charges attributed to new initiatives is to remove actual charges attributed to new initiatives, including charges with the undertaking and/or implementation of new initiatives, business optimization activities, cost savings initiatives, cost rationalization programs, operating expense reductions and/or synergies and/or similar initiatives and/or programs including any restructuring charge (including any charges relating to any tax restructuring), any charge relating to the closure or consolidation of any office or facility, any systems
32
implementation charge, any severance charge, any one time compensation charge, any charge relating to entry into a new market, any charge relating to any strategic initiative or contract and any lease run-off charge.
(4)The adjustment for extraordinary unusual non-recurring gains or losses is to remove extraordinary gains and losses, which include any gain or charge from any extraordinary item as determined in good faith by the Company and/or any non-recurring or unusual item as determined in good faith by the Company and/or any charge associated with and/or payment of any legal settlement, fine, judgment or order.
(5)The adjustment for changes in the value of earnouts and warrants is to remove of the impact of the revaluation of the earnouts and warrants. As a result of the Business Combination, the Company recorded liabilities for earnouts and warrants. Changes in the fair value of the earnout and warrant liabilities are recognized in the statement of operations. Decreases in the liability will have a favorable impact on the statement of operations and increases in the liability will have an unfavorable impact. The adjustment also includes realized costs associated with the settlement of warrants during past reporting periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We manage our liquidity through assessing available cash-on-hand, our ability to generate cash and our ability to borrow or otherwise raise capital to fund operating, investing and financing activities. The Company remains in a positive financial position with available cash balances. We also obtained rent deferrals or abatements on a substantial number of our leases due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
A core tenet of our long-term strategy is to grow the size and scale of the Company in order to improve our operating profit margins through leveraging our fixed costs. As such, one of the Company’s known cash requirements is for capital expenditures related to the construction of new centers and upgrading and converting existing centers. We believe our financial position, generation of cash, available cash on hand, existing credit facility, and potential access to additional financing from sale-lease-back transactions or other sources will provide sufficient capital resources to fund our operational requirements, capital expenditures, and material short and long-term commitments for the foreseeable future. However, there are a number of factors that may hinder our ability to access these capital resources, including but not limited to the impact of COVID-19 on our business, our degree of leverage, and potential borrowing restrictions imposed by our lenders. See “Risk Factors” included in our previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2022 for further information.
At January 1, 2023, we had approximately $89,809 of available cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.
Six Months Ended January 1, 2023 Compared To the Six Months Ended December 26, 2021
The following compares the primary categories of the consolidated statements of cash flows for the period ended January 1, 2023 and December 26, 2021:
Six Months Ended$
Change		%
Change
(in thousands)January 1,

Net cash provided by operating activities$115,879 $59,285 $56,594 95.46 %
Net cash used in investing activities(163,005)(160,848)(2,157)1.34 %

Net change in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash$(42,427)$(71,434)$29,007 (40.61)%
During the six months ended January 1, 2023, net cash provided from operations totaled $115,879, as compared to $59,285 during the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in cash provided by operating activities reflects continued higher revenues and profitability. We benefited during the six months ended January 1, 2023 from continued strong consumer demand and revenues from recently acquired centers.
Investing activities utilized $163,005, reflecting our acquisitions of businesses, capital expenditures and purchase of the stock in a publicly traded company. The increase in cash used in investing activities during the six months ended January 1, 2023 as compared to the corresponding period last fiscal year mainly reflects the increase in spending for acquisitions and the net purchase of marketable securities, all of which were partially offset by decreases in capital expenditures. The increase in the purchase price of acquisitions mainly reflects the increase in the quantity and higher value of business acquisitions as compared to the prior year. The decrease in capital expenditures is mainly due to the acquisition of Bowl America during the prior year which was accounted for as an asset acquisition (reflected as purchase of property
33
and equipment in the statement of cash flows). The purchase and sale of marketable securities reflects an investment the Company made and subsequently began selling. We expect to continue to invest in accretive acquisitions in future periods as well as center upgrades and conversions.
Financing activities generated $5,126 during the six months ended January 1, 2023, reflecting proceeds from long-term debt of $15,418 and proceeds from a sale-leaseback financing transaction of $10,363, which were partially offset by $16,355 for the repurchase of treasury stock, $4,399 for scheduled long-term debt payments and $1,491 in payments for tax withholdings on share-based awards. The net cash provided by financing activities during the corresponding prior year period of $30,213, mainly reflects the net funds received from the Business Combination which were partially offset by scheduled long-term debt payments.
Our contractual obligations primarily include, but are not limited to, debt service, self-insurance liabilities, and leasing arrangements. We believe our sources of liquidity, namely available cash on hand, positive operating cash flows, and access to capital markets will continue to be adequate to meet our contractual obligations, as well as fund working capital, planned capital expenditures, center acquisitions, and execute purchases under our share repurchase program.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of January 1, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements are in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions affect amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of gain and loss contingencies at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Our current estimates are subject to change if different assumptions as to the outcome of future events were made. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis, and we adjust our assumptions and judgments when facts and circumstances dictate. Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty, actual results may differ from the estimates we used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Critical accounting estimates are defined as those that require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, and which may result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Our critical accounting estimates are discussed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our fiscal year 2022 Form 10-K under “Critical Accounting Estimates.” There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates for the period ended January 1, 2023.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
For a description of recently issued Financial Accounting Standards that we adopted during the quarter ended January 1, 2023 and, that are applicable to us and likely to have material effect on our consolidated financial statements, but have not yet been adopted, see Note 1 - Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Emerging Growth Company Accounting Election
The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements.
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a registration statement under the Securities Act declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with those of another public
34
company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of Isos’ IPO (March 5, 2026), (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1,235,000 or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700,000 as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1,000,000 in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in, among other things, the ongoing effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, interest rates, credit risk, labor costs, health insurance claims and foreign currency exchange rates, which could impact its results of operations and financial condition. We attempt to address our exposure to these risks through our normal operating and financing activities.
Interest Rate Risk
Under our term and revolving credit facilities, we are exposed to a certain level of interest rate risk. Interest on the principal amount of our borrowings under our revolving credit facility loan accrues at the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate or the Alternate Base Rate, as further described in the credit agreement governing our term and revolving credit facilities. An increase or decrease of 1.0% in the effective interest rate would cause an increase or decrease
to interest expense of approximately $8,800 over a twelve month period on our outstanding debt.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and temporary investments. We are exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by counter parties to our financial instruments. We place cash and temporary investments with various high-quality financial institutions. Although we do not obtain collateral or other security to secure these obligations, we periodically monitor the third-party depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents. Our emphasis is primarily on safety and liquidity of principal and secondarily on maximizing yield on those funds.
Commodity Price Risk
We are exposed to market price fluctuation in food, beverage, supplies and other costs such as energy. Given the historical volatility of certain of our food product prices, including proteins, produce, dairy products, and cooking oil, these fluctuations can materially impact our food costs. While our purchasing commitments partially mitigate the risk of such fluctuations, there is no assurance that supply and demand factors such as disease or inclement weather will not cause the prices of the commodities used in our food operations to fluctuate. Additionally, the cost of purchased materials may be influenced by tariffs and other trade regulations which are outside of our control. To the extent that we do not pass along cost increases to our customers, our results of operations may be adversely affected.
Inflation
We experience inflation and deflation related to our purchase of certain products that we need to operate our business. This price volatility could potentially have a material impact on our financial condition and/or our results of operations. In order to mitigate price volatility, we monitor price fluctuations and may adjust our prices accordingly, however, our ability to recover higher costs through increased pricing may be limited by the competitive environment in which we operate.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act is properly and timely reported and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and
35
procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
An effective internal control system, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention or overriding of controls and therefore can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to reliable financial reporting. Furthermore, effectiveness of an internal control system in future periods cannot be guaranteed because the design of any system of internal controls is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time certain controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate. As such, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 1, 2023 with the participation, and under the supervision, of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of January 1, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weaknesses described below in Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, the Company has concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the most recently completed quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except as noted in this paragraph regarding material weaknesses. We did not design and maintain effective controls over certain financial reporting processes, including acquisition accounting, accounting for fixed assets, and certain financial reporting disclosures. Additionally, we did not design and maintain effective controls over system access controls to establish segregation of duties for those with roles and responsibilities for the general ledger. We continue to develop and implement a plan to remediate the material weaknesses described above, which will include additional training of existing staff, hiring additional staff with technical accounting skills and engaging third-party experts to assist in accounting for fixed assets, acquisitions and technical areas, as well as the development of more formal internal control processes and improving information technology controls over system access.
Part II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in various inquiries, investigations, claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings that are incidental to the conduct of our business. These matters typically involve claims from customers, employees or other third parties involved in operational issues common to the retail, restaurant and entertainment industries. Such matters typically represent actions with respect to contracts, intellectual property, taxation, employment, employee benefits, personal injuries and other matters. A number of such claims may exist at any given time and there are currently a number of claims and legal proceedings pending against us.
There is currently a group of approximately 73 pending claims, filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”), between 2016 and 2019, generally relating to claims of age discrimination. Of the pending charges, 69 allege age discrimination only, two allege retaliation only, and five allege age discrimination and retaliation. To date, the EEOC issued determinations of probable cause as to 55 of the charges, which the Company contests and intends to defend vigorously. The Company now awaits conciliation proposals from the EEOC with respect to such individual charges. The remaining charges remain pending before the EEOC in various stages of investigation. In addition, the EEOC has conducted its own administrative investigation of an alleged pattern or practice of age discrimination (the “Pattern and Practice Charge”), which resulted in a determination of probable cause dated March 7, 2022, in which the Commission alleged that evidence purportedly exists of such a pattern or practice dating back to 2013. The Company contests such determination and intends to defend vigorously. Following that determination, the EEOC asked for additional information and, on August 22, 2022, the EEOC submitted a proposal to the Company to participate in the conciliation process for the Pattern and Practice Charge. The EEOC’s proposal includes a demand for monetary and non-monetary remedies. In the opinion of our management, after consultation with legal counsel, the amount of liability with respect to claims or proceedings currently pending against us is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In particular, our management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the EEOC claims alleging age discrimination, and the facts alleged therein, do not pose any material risk to the business or operations of the Company because, among other things, management believes such claims to be in the ordinary course and

without substantive merit. In addition, management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that approximately 65 of such EEOC claims would be time barred due to expiry of the statute of limitations if the individuals were to bring the claims themselves, but not so barred if the EEOC were to bring the claims. Nevertheless, even if such claims were not time barred, they would not pose a material risk to the Company's business or operations and may be barred by the equitable doctrine of laches.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal period ended July 3, 2022 and the other information set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On February 7, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share and warrant repurchase program providing for repurchases of up to $200,000 of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock and warrants through February 3, 2024. Repurchases of shares and warrants are made in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made from time to time in the open market or by negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of repurchases are based on a variety of factors, including stock price, regulatory limitations, debt agreement limitations, and other market and economic factors. The share repurchase plan does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the Company may terminate the repurchase plan at any time.
The following table provides information regarding purchases of our securities made by us for the quarter ended January 1, 2023.
