Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Twin Hospitality Group Inc. reported third‑quarter results marked by operating losses and debt stress. Revenue was $82.3 million versus $83.7 million a year ago, and net loss widened to $24.5 million from $16.2 million as general and administrative expense rose on closures, impairments, and higher share‑based compensation.

The company disclosed substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Following notices and a declared Event of Default under its Twin Securitization Notes, $400.3 million of long‑term debt was reclassified as current. Unrestricted cash was $5.5 million as of September 28, 2025, and cash used in operating activities was $20.5 million year‑to‑date.

Actions in the quarter included a $6.9 million impairment of lease right‑of‑use assets tied to Smokey Bones closures and $1.4 million of non‑cash property and equipment impairment. Shares outstanding were 54,455,856 Class A and 2,870,000 Class B as of November 10, 2025.

Twin Hospitality reported Q3 revenue of $82.3M and a net loss of $24.5M. The filing states an Event of Default under the Twin Securitization Notes and reclassifies $400.3M of debt as current, signaling near‑term liquidity pressure.

Management cites substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern. The company had $5.5M of unrestricted cash as of Sept 28, 2025 and used $20.5M in operating cash year‑to‑date. Impairments include $6.9M to lease ROU assets and $1.4M to fixed assets.

Potential remedies discussed include refinancing or restructuring with noteholders. Actual outcomes depend on agreements with creditors; timing is not specified in the excerpt.

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 September 28, 2025, our total restaurant footprint consisted of 159 restaurants, of which 72 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 45 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.
We operate as one operating segment and our chief operating decision maker reviews operating results and performance for all company-owned and franchised locations together. Our revenues are derived from franchised Twin Peaks restaurants (comprised of royalties, franchise fees and advertising revenue) as well as sales of food and beverages at our Company-owned restaurant locations.
Going Concern
The Company recognized loss from operations of $26.0 million and $1.3 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively. The Company had negative cash flow from operations of $20.5 million and $7.6 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively. The Company has a history of net losses and an accumulated deficit of $147.1 million as of September 28, 2025. Additionally, the Company had negative working capital of $420.0 million. As of September 28, 2025, the Company had $5.5 million of unrestricted cash.

As discussed in Note 8, as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company was in default under its Securitization Notes. As a result, the noteholders could remove the Company as manager of the Twin Securitization Notes, cause the outstanding principal and interest under any or all of the Twin Securitization Notes to be due and payable on an accelerated basis, and could allow the noteholders to foreclose on the collateral securing the Twin Securitization Notes. As a result, the Company has classified the aggregate principal amount of its Twin Securitization Notes within current liabilities in its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 28, 2025.

The Company does not currently have amounts on hand to pay such principal and maturity amounts, and any such acceleration or foreclosure would materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and liquidity, and could cause the Company to seek to reorganize through a bankruptcy proceeding.

These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these financial statements are issued. While the Company believes its plans to restructure its indebtedness or obtain relief from the noteholders can alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, these plans are not within the Company’s control and cannot be assessed as being probable of occurring. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
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

Table of Contents
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 2024 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 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 - 45% 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 $8.8 million as of September 28, 2025.
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 beginning in its fiscal year 2025 annual financial statements. The Company expects that the adoption of this standard will impact certain of its income tax disclosures.

NOTE 7. LEASES
Operating Leases
As of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company had 98 operating leases for corporate offices and for certain owned restaurant properties, respectively. The leases have remaining terms ranging from 0.3 years to 22.4 years. The Company recognized lease expense of $5.4 million and $5.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively. The Company recognized lease expense of $15.5 million and $16.0 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024. The weighted average remaining lease term of the operating leases as of September 28, 2025 was 10.9 years.
Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are as follows (in millions):

2024
Operating lease right-of-use assets$137.2 $141.9 
Operating lease liabilities$155.0 $152.5 
The operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities include obligations relating to the optional term extensions available on certain restaurant leases based on management’s intention to exercise the options.

Twin Securitization Notes

Our long-term debt includes an aggregate of $412.3 million in aggregate principal amount in fixed rate secured notes (the "Twin Securitization Notes") issued by our special purpose financing subsidiary, Twin Hospitality I, LLC ("Twin Royalty"). During the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2025, we received notices with respect to potential and actual Rapid Amortization Events, Manager Termination Events and Events of Default as described below. In addition to the Rapid Amortization Events, Manager Termination Events and Events of Default described below, due to liquidity constraints, the Company utilized certain cash receipts to support operation of the business during the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2025, which would likely give rise to Events of Default and/or Manager Termination Events. These include commingling cash receipts owed to Twin Royalty and cash of non-securitization entities and causing amounts owed to Twin Royalty to be deposited into accounts not held by Twin Royalty or the Trustee, as required by the Twin Indenture. As a result of the foregoing matters, subject to notice from the applicable parties under the applicable indentures being provided (as further described below), the Company may be removed as the Manager of Twin Royalty, the Twin Securitization Notes could be subject to acceleration and the assets of Twin Royalty subject to foreclosure at any time. As a result, the Company has classified the aggregate principal amount of its Twin Securitization Notes within current liabilities in its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 28, 2025.

The Company is having ongoing discussions with the representatives of the noteholders regarding one or more potential transactions involving a refinancing, restructuring or similar transaction. The Company cannot provide any assurances that it will reach such an agreement on terms that are satisfactory to it and the noteholders promptly, or at all. If the Company is not able to agree upon the terms of a refinancing, restructuring or similar transaction with the noteholders, the noteholders could remove the Company as manager of Twin Royalty, cause the outstanding principal and interest under any or all of the Twin Securitization Notes to be due and payable on an accelerated basis, and could allow the noteholders to foreclose on the collateral securing the Twin Securitization Notes. The Company does not currently have amounts on hand to pay such principal

Table of Contents
and maturity amounts, and any such acceleration or foreclosure would materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, and liquidity, and could cause the Company to seek to reorganize through a bankruptcy proceeding.

As further described below, to date, the required parties have not provided such notices. Capitalized terms used in the following discussion are defined in the Base Indenture for Twin Royalty, which is filed as an exhibit to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, filed on February 28, 2025.

Notice from Noteholders and Discussions

On August 22, 2025, Twin Royalty received a notice from counsel (the "August Letter") on behalf of a group of noteholders holding a majority of the outstanding principal balance of the Twin Securitization Notes (the “Majority Noteholders”) claiming that the payment of customary bonuses to the Company's management, in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.2 million for their performance during fiscal year 2024, was paid from funds that should have been deposited into a collection account under the Twin Indenture. The Majority Noteholders claim in the August Letter that such payment is a breach of certain provisions of the applicable Management Agreement, which they claim triggers a “Manager Termination Event” that gives the holders of the Twin Securitization Notes the right to remove the Company as the manager of Twin Royalty.

The notice from the Twin Majority Noteholders further claims that (i) a Level I Qualified Equity Offering Trigger Event occurred in April 2025 and July 2025, and (ii) the P&I DSCR was less than 1.35x for the quarterly fiscal period ended June 2025, resulting in the commencement of a Cash Flow Sweeping Event, pursuant to which 50% and 100% of collections, respectively, were required to be used to amortize the Twin Securitization Notes. According to the Twin Majority Noteholders, the failure to pay principal under the Cash Flow Sweeping Event constituted an Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.2(b) of the Base Indenture. The notice from the Twin Majority Noteholders also claims that the failure to deliver a timely notice of the above events to the Trustee under the Twin Indenture constitutes a separate Event of Default under the Twin Indenture.

In addition, the August Letter was also on behalf of a group of noteholders holding a majority of the outstanding principal balance of notes (the “FAT Securitization Notes”) issued by three unrelated special purpose financing subsidiaries owned by our parent company, FAT Brands Inc. (the “FAT Issuers”), alleging that collections belonging to the FAT Issuers were commingled with the funds of non-securitization entities at an account sitting outside of the FAT Issuers. The noteholders allege that such actions resulted in covenant violations under the applicable indentures for the FAT Securitization Notes.

Notice from Trustee / Other Defaults

Under the Base Indenture, dated November 21, 2024 (the “Twin Indenture”), between Twin Royalty and the Trustee, upon each Qualified Equity Offering, which is defined as a public or private offering of common equity securities for cash by the Company, the Company is required, subject to certain limited exceptions, to use 75% of the net proceeds from such offerings 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 Qualified Equity Offerings used for repayment of the Twin Securitization Notes is not at least $25.0 million on or prior to each of April 25, 2025, July 25, 2025 and October 27, 2025, or is not at least $75.0 million on or prior to January 26, 2026, then under any such circumstance, a Cash Flow Sweeping Event would occur, whereupon certain excess cash flows from Twin Royalty’s 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 Company did not satisfy the requirement to raise a Qualified Equity Offering and repay the Twin Securitization Notes in an amount equal to at least $25.0 million on each of April 25, 2025 and July 25, 2025, and as such, a “Level I Qualified Equity Offering Trigger Event” and “Cash Flow Sweeping Event” under the Twin Securitization Notes have occurred.

Separately, on October 23, 2025, the Trustee provided a “Notice of Potential Rapid Amortization Event” with respect to the Twin Indenture. Such Notice stated that pursuant to Section 5.9(b)(iv) of the Twin Indenture, on the last business day of each month preceding a Monthly Allocation Date, the Manager is required to withdraw all Retained Collections with respect to the preceding Monthly Collection Period on deposit in the Concentration Account and deposit the same to the Collection Account. Pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) of the Management Agreement, failure to do so constitutes a Manager Termination Event, the assertion of which may be made by a Securitization Entity, the Back-Up Manager, the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) or the Trustee (acting at the direction of the Control Party). In addition, pursuant to Section 9.1(b) of the Twin Indenture, the occurrence of a Manager Termination Event constitutes a Rapid Amortization Event to be declared by a written notice from the Control Party. The Trustee stated that it did not receive the Retained Collections in the Collection Account for the Monthly Allocation Date under the Twin Indenture occurring on October 10, 2025, and therefore a Potential Rapid Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing under the Twin Indenture.

To date, none of the Trustee, Control Party or the Controlling Class Representative has delivered a notice declaring that a Manager Termination Event has occurred under the Twin Indenture or a Termination Notice seeking to remove the Company as












16

Table of Contents
Manager. However, as noted above, we have taken actions during the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2025 that would likely give rise to Events of Default and Manager Termination Events and could be removed as Manager of Twin Royalty at any time.

On October 30, 2025 and following receipt of notice from us regarding such events, the Trustee provided a “Notice of Event of Default” with respect to the Twin Indenture, stating that due to the events described in the Notice of Potential Rapid Amortization Event described above, the Trustee was unable to make payments due to the noteholders from the Collection Account as of the Quarterly Payment Date of October 27, 2025, and that such occurrence constituted an Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.2 of the Twin Indenture. As a result of such Event of Default, the Trustee, at the direction of the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) may accelerate all amounts with respect to the Twin Notes and exercise remedies (including foreclosure) with respect to the assets of Twin Royalty and any Guarantors.
Issuance of Warrants
In connection with the Spin-Off, during the third quarter of 2025, the Company issued to certain holders of the Twin Securitization Notes warrants exercisable for 1,560,782 shares of our Class A Common Stock that become exercisable during the period 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. The value of the warrants at issuance was $7.6 million, which was recorded as an original issue discount related to the Twin Securitization Notes and will be amortized to interest expense.
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.

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. The indictment included charges against Mr. Wiederhorn, FAT Brands’ former CFO, Rebecca Hershinger, and FAT Brands’ former tax advisor. On July 29, 2025, the DOJ moved to dismiss the indictment against all defendants in the case without prejudice, and on August 7, 2025, the court ordered the indictment to be dismissed against all defendants.

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 the SEC complaint, which does not directly involve or allege any wrongdoing on the part of the Company.

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 September 28, 2025, our total restaurant footprint consists of 159 restaurants, of which 72 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 45 are domestic company-owned Smokey Bones restaurants.
Our growth plan is driven by a robust pipeline of new restaurant developments. Our pipeline includes nearly 100 signed franchised units as of September 28, 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.

Revenues

Company-owned restaurant sales decreased by $1.2 million, or 1.6%, to $74.4 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $75.6 million year-ago quarter, primarily due to the closure of 11 underperforming Smokey Bones locations, the temporary closure of two Smokey Bones locations for conversion into Twin Peaks lodges and lower same-store sales, partially offset by the opening of new Twin Peaks lodges.

Franchise revenue decreased by $0.1 million, or 1.3%, to $8.0 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $8.1 million in the year-ago quarter, as growth from our Twin Peaks franchise openings mostly offset the decline in same-store sales.

Company-owned restaurant sales decreased by $10.2 million, or 4.2%, to $232.4 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025, compared to $242.6 million in the year-ago period, primarily due to the closure of 11 underperforming Smokey Bones locations, the temporary closure of two Smokey Bones locations for conversion into Twin Peaks lodges and lower same-store sales, partially offset by the opening of new Twin Peaks lodges.

Franchise revenue increased by $0.2 million, or 0.6%, to $24.9 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025, compared to $24.7 million in the year-ago period, primarily due to growth from our Twin Peaks franchise openings, mostly offset the decline in same-store sales.

As a percentage of company-owned restaurant sales, food and beverage costs decreased to 27.2% in the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025, compared to 27.3% in the year-ago period as menu price increases were substantially offset by the increase in food costs..

Labor and benefits costs decreased by $3.3 million, or 4.2%, to $74.5 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025, compared to $77.8 million in the year-ago period, primarily due to the closure of underperforming Smokey Bones locations, the temporary closure of two Smokey Bones locations for conversion into Twin Peaks lodges and lower same-store sales, partially offset by wage inflation. As a percentage of company-owned restaurant sales, labor and benefits costs remained flat at 32.1% in the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025, compared to the year-ago period as wage inflation and sales deleveraging were offset by menu price increases.
Other operating costs increased by $0.9 million, or 1.9%, to $51.0 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025, compared to $50.1 million in the year-ago period, primarily due to new restaurant openings. As a percentage of company-owned restaurant sales, other operating costs was 22.0% in the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025 compared to 20.6% in the year-ago period.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net was $34.0 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025, compared to $34.9 million in the year-ago period, and in each year, other expense, net consisted primarily of interest expense.

Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax benefit of $2.6 million and $10,000 in the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 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 thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 consisted primarily of cash generated by our operations and contributions from FAT Brands Inc., our Parent company.

The Company recognized losses from operations of $26.0 million and $1.3 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively. The Company had negative cash flow from operations of $20.5 million and $7.6 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively. The Company has a history of net losses and an accumulated deficit of $147.1 million as of September 28, 2025. As of September 28, 2025, the Company had $5.5 million of unrestricted cash.

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.

As discussed in Note 8 of the quarterly financial statements included elsewhere in this filing, as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company was in default under its Securitization Notes. As a result, the noteholders could remove the Company as manager of the Twin Securitization Notes, cause the outstanding principal and interest under any or all of the Twin Securitization Notes to be due and payable on an accelerated basis, and could allow the noteholders to foreclose on the collateral securing the Twin Securitization Notes. As a result, the Company has classified the aggregate principal amount of its Securitization Notes within current liabilities in its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 28, 2025.

The Company does not currently have amounts on hand to pay such principal and maturity amounts, and any such acceleration or foreclosure would materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and liquidity, and could cause the Company to seek to reorganize through a bankruptcy proceeding.

These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these financial statements are issued. While the Company believes its plans to restructure its indebtedness or obtain relief from the noteholders can alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, these plans are not within the Company’s control and cannot be assessed as being probable of occurring. Without a restructuring of our debt or relief from our noteholders under our Securitized Notes, we will not be able to meet our cash obligations for the next twelve months.

Comparison of Cash Flows
Our cash and restricted cash balance was $14.3 million as of September 28, 2025, compared to $25.9 million as of December 29, 2024.
The following table summarizes key components of our consolidated cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024:
Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended
(in millions)September 28, 2025September 29, 2024
Net cash used in operating activities$(20.5)$(7.6)
Net cash used in investing activities(2.9)(20.3)
Net cash provided by financing activities11.7 33.4 
Net increase (decrease) in cash and restricted cash$(11.7)$5.4 
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities increased $12.9 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to an increase in net loss as adjusted for non cash items, including depreciation and amortization, and higher debt service costs, partially offset by changes in working capital.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $2.9 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025 and was related to purchases of property and equipment in connection with company-owned restaurants, partially offset by the sale leaseback of one company-owned Twin Peaks location. Net cash used in investing activities was $20.3 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024, primarily related to purchases of property and equipment in connection with company-owned restaurants.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $11.7 million and $33.4 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively, primarily comprised of contributions from FAT Brands Inc., partially offset by net repayment of borrowings.
Capital Expenditures
As of September 28, 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

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 September 28, 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 September 28, 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 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.

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. Other than the matters discussed below under Item 3, 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 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

Securitization Notes

Our long-term debt includes an aggregate of $412.3 million in aggregate principal amount in fixed rate secured notes (the “Twin Securitization Notes”) issued by our special purpose financing subsidiary, Twin Hospitality I, LLC (“Twin Royalty”). During the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2025, we received notices with respect to potential and actual Rapid Amortization Events, Manager Termination Events and Events of Default as described below. In addition to the Rapid Amortization Events, Manager Termination Events and Events of Default described below, due to liquidity constraints, the Company utilized certain cash receipts to support operation of the business during the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2025, which would likely give rise to Events of Default and/or Manager Termination Events. These include commingling cash receipts owed to Twin Royalty and cash of non-securitization entities and causing amounts owed to Twin Royalty to be deposited into accounts not held by Twin Royalty or the Trustee, as required by the Twin Indenture. As a result of the foregoing matters, subject to notice from the applicable parties under the applicable indentures being provided (as further described below), the Company may be removed as the Manager of Twin Royalty, the Twin Securitization Notes could be subject to acceleration and the assets of Twin Royalty subject to foreclosure at any time. As further described below, to date, the required parties have not provided such notices.

The Company is having ongoing discussions with representatives of the noteholders regarding one or more potential transactions involving a refinancing, restructuring or similar transaction. The Company cannot provide any assurances that it will reach such an agreement on terms that are satisfactory to it and the noteholders promptly, or at all. If the Company is not able to agree upon the terms of a refinancing, restructuring or similar transaction with the noteholders, the noteholders could remove the Company as manager of Twin Royalty, cause the outstanding principal and interest under any or all of the Twin Securitization Notes to be due and payable on an accelerated basis, and could allow the noteholders to foreclose on the collateral securing the Twin Securitization Notes. We do not currently have amounts on hand to pay such principal and maturity amounts, and any such acceleration or foreclosure would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and liquidity, and could cause us to seek to reorganize through a bankruptcy proceeding.

Capitalized terms used in the following discussion are defined in the Base Indenture for Twin Royalty, which is filed as an exhibit to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, filed on February 28, 2025.

Notice from Noteholders and Discussions

On August 22, 2025, Twin Royalty received a notice from counsel (the “August Letter”) on behalf of a group of noteholders holding a majority of the outstanding principal balance of the Twin Securitization Notes (the “Twin Majority Noteholders”) claiming that the payment of customary bonuses to the Company’s management, in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.2 million for their performance during fiscal year 2024, was paid from funds that should have been deposited into a collection account under the Twin Indenture. The Twin Majority Noteholders claim in the August Letter that such payment is a breach of certain provisions of the applicable Management Agreement, which they claim triggers a “Manager Termination Event” that gives the holders of the Twin Securitization Notes the right to remove the Company as the manager of Twin Royalty.

The notice from the Twin Majority Noteholders further claims that (i) a Level I Qualified Equity Offering Trigger Event occurred in April 2025 and July 2025, and (ii) the P&I DSCR was less than 1.35x for the quarterly fiscal period ended June 2025, resulting in the commencement of a Cash Flow Sweeping Event, pursuant to which 50% and 100% of collections, respectively, were required to be used to amortize the Twin Securitization Notes. According to the Twin Majority Noteholders, the failure to pay principal under the Cash Flow Sweeping Event constituted an Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.2(b) of the Base Indenture. The notice from the Twin Majority Noteholders also claims that the failure to deliver a timely notice of the above events to the Trustee under the Twin Indenture constitutes a separate Event of Default under the Twin Indenture.

In addition, the August Letter was also on behalf of a group of noteholders holding a majority of the outstanding principal balance of notes (the “FAT Securitization Notes”) issued by three unrelated special purpose financing subsidiaries owned by our parent company, FAT Brands Inc. (the “FAT Issuers”), alleging that collections belonging to the FAT Issuers were commingled with the funds of non-securitization entities at an account sitting outside of the FAT Issuers. The noteholders allege that such actions resulted in covenant violations under the applicable indentures for the FAT Securitization Notes.
Notice from Trustee / Other Defaults

Under the Base Indenture, dated November 21, 2024 (the “Twin Indenture”), between Twin Royalty and the Trustee, upon each Qualified Equity Offering, which is defined as a public or private offering of common equity securities for cash by the Company, the Company is required, subject to certain limited exceptions, to use 75% of the net proceeds from such offerings












27

Table of Contents
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 Qualified Equity Offerings used for repayment of the Twin Securitization Notes is not at least $25.0 million on or prior to each of April 25, 2025, July 25, 2025 and October 27, 2025, or is not at least $75.0 million on or prior to January 26, 2026, then under any such circumstance, a Cash Flow Sweeping Event would occur, whereupon certain excess cash flows from Twin Royalty’s operations are required to be used to make additional principal payments, on a pro rata basis, on the three most senior classes of the Twin Securitization Notes. The Company did not satisfy the requirement to raise a Qualified Equity Offering and repay the Twin Securitization Notes in an amount equal to at least $25.0 million on each of April 25, 2025 and July 25, 2025, and as such, a “Level I Qualified Equity Offering Trigger Event” and “Cash Flow Sweeping Event” under the Twin Securitization Notes have occurred.

Separately, on October 23, 2025, the Trustee provided a “Notice of Potential Rapid Amortization Event” with respect to the Twin Indenture. Such Notice stated that pursuant to Section 5.9(b)(iv) of the Twin Indenture, on the last business day of each month preceding a Monthly Allocation Date, the Manager is required to withdraw all Retained Collections with respect to the preceding Monthly Collection Period on deposit in the Concentration Account and deposit the same to the Collection Account. Pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) of the Management Agreement, failure to do so constitutes a Manager Termination Event, the assertion of which may be made by a Securitization Entity, the Back-Up Manager, the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) or the Trustee (acting at the direction of the Control Party). In addition, pursuant to Section 9.1(b) of the Twin Indenture, the occurrence of a Manager Termination Event constitutes a Rapid Amortization Event to be declared by a written notice from the Control Party. The Trustee stated that it did not receive the Retained Collections in the Collection Account for the Monthly Allocation Date under the Twin Indenture occurring on October 10, 2025, and therefore a Potential Rapid Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing under the Twin Indenture.

To date, none of the Trustee, Control Party or the Controlling Class Representative has delivered a notice declaring that a Manager Termination Event has occurred under the Twin Indenture or a Termination Notice seeking to remove the Company as Manager. However, as noted above, we have taken actions during the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2025 that would likely give rise to Events of Default and Manager Termination Events and could be removed as Manager of Twin Royalty at any time.

On October 30, 2025 and following receipt of notice from us regarding such events, the Trustee provided a “Notice of Event of Default” with respect to the Twin Indenture, stating that due to the events described in the Notice of Potential Rapid Amortization Event described above, the Trustee was unable to make payments due to the noteholders from the Collection Account as of the Quarterly Payment Date of October 27, 2025, and that such occurrence constituted an Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.2 of the Twin Indenture. As a result of such Event of Default, the Trustee, at the direction of the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) may accelerate all amounts with respect to the Twin Notes and exercise remedies (including foreclosure) with respect to the assets of Twin Royalty and any Guarantors.
