Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Business

The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a global hospitality company that develops, owns and operates, manages or licenses upscale, high-energy restaurants and lounges and provides turn-key food and beverage (“F&B”) services for hospitality venues including hotels, casinos and other high-end locations globally. Turn-key F&B services are food and beverage services that can be scaled, customized and implemented by the Company at a particular hospitality venue and customized for the client. The Company’s primary restaurant brand is STK, a multi-unit steakhouse concept that combines a high-energy, social atmosphere with the quality and service of a traditional upscale steakhouse.

As of June 30, 2019, we owned, operated, managed or licensed 29 venues, including 19 STKs, in major metropolitan cities in North America, Europe and the Middle East and provided F&B services to three hotels and one casino in the United States and Europe.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual audited financial statements have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

In the Company’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. Additionally, the Company believes that the disclosures are sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Updated (“ASU”) No. 2019‑01, “Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements” (“ASU 2019‑01”). ASU 2019‑01 provided clarification related to adopting Accounting Standard Codification Topic 842, Leases, (“ASC Topic 842”). ASU 2019‑01 addresses fair value determinations of underlying assets by lessors, cash flow statement presentation for financing leases, and transition disclosures. The Company adopted ASC Topic 842 as of January 1, 2019 and considered the clarification guidance in ASU 2019‑01 as part of its adoption. Refer to Note 12 for additional details regarding the adoption of ASC Topic 842.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑17, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities” (“ASU 2018‑17”). ASU 2018‑17 states that indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis to determine whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. This is consistent with how indirect interests held through related parties under common control are considered for determining whether a reporting entity must consolidate a variable interest entity. ASU 2018‑17 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to adopt the new guidance retrospectively with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company is evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018‑13”). ASU 2018‑13 eliminates, modifies and adds disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amendments in ASU 2018‑13 are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effects of ASU 2018‑13 on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018‑13 to be material.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑15, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350‑40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract” (“ASU 2018‑15”). ASU 2018‑15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. ASU 2018‑15 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Entities can choose to adopt the new guidance prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $1.3 million in letters of credit outstanding for certain restaurants, including $36.9 thousand of standby letters of credit and $1.3 million of cash collateralized letters of credit, which are recorded as a component of security deposits on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019.

Bank of America, N.A. Credit Agreement

 

On May 15, 2019, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A (“Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit facility of $10.0 million and a $10.0 million term loan. The term loan is payable in quarterly installments, with the final payment due in May 2024. The revolving credit facility also matures in May 2024. In conjunction with entering into the Credit Agreement, the Company incurred $0.4 million of debt issuance costs, which were capitalized and are recorded as a direct deduction to the long-term debt, net of current portion, on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Credit Agreement contains several financial covenants, including (a) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of (i) 4.75 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter ending on or prior to June 30, 2020 and (ii) 4.50 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter thereafter and (b) a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.35 to 1.00.

 

The Credit Agreement has several borrowing and interest rate options, including the following: (a) a LIBOR rate (or a comparable successor rate) or (b) a base rate equal to the greater of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or the LIBOR rate for a one-month period plus 1.00%; provided that the base rate may not be less than zero. Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum using the applicable indices plus a varying interest rate margin of between 2.75% and 3.50% (for LIBOR rate loans) and 1.75% and 2.50% (for base rate loans).

Table of Contents

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and conditions to borrowing including customary affirmative and negative covenants, which include covenants that limit or restrict the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness and other obligations, grant liens to secure obligations, make investments, merge or consolidate, and dispose of assets outside the ordinary course of business, in each case subject to customary exceptions for credit facilities of this size and type. As of June 30, 2019, the Company is in compliance with the covenants required by the Credit Agreement.

 

Debt Extinguishment

 

In conjunction with entering into the Credit Agreement on May 15, 2019, the Company prepaid the outstanding debt balances to early extinguish the $2.6 million of outstanding term loans with BankUnited, the $5.3 million of outstanding promissory notes with Anson Investments Master Fund LP, and the $1.0 million outstanding promissory note with 2235570 Ontario Limited. The Company recognized a $0.4 million loss on early debt extinguishment within other expenses, net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, primarily caused by the recognition of the unamortized discounts related to warrants issued with the promissory notes and the recognition of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the debt extinguished. Additionally, the Company prepaid the $1.2 million of outstanding cash advances due to the TOG Liquidation Trust, a related party. Please refer to Note 9 for additional details on transactions with related parties.

 

Note 7 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short maturities. Long-lived assets are measured and disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis if an impairment is identified. There were no long-lived assets measured at fair value as of June 30, 2019.

The Company’s long-term debt, including the current portion, is carried at cost on the consolidated balance sheets. Fair value of long-term debt, including the current portion, is estimated based on Level 2 inputs, except the amount outstanding on the revolving credit facility for which the carrying value approximates fair value. Fair value is determined by discounting future cash flows using interest rates available for issues with similar terms and maturities.

The estimated fair values of long-term debt, for which carrying values do not approximate fair value, are as follows (in thousands):

Note 8 – Nonconsolidated Variable Interest Entities

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company owned interests in the following companies, which directly or indirectly operate a restaurant:

·

31.24% interest in Bagatelle NY LA Investors, LLC (“Bagatelle Investors”)

·

51.13% interest in Bagatelle Little West 12th, LLC (“Bagatelle NY”)

Bagatelle Investors is a holding company that has an interest in Bagatelle NY. Both entities were formed in 2011. In the three months ended June 30, 2019, Bagatelle NY notified the Company that it had no intent to renew its sublease with the Company for the restaurant space. As a result, the Company determined that it no longer had the ability to exercise significant influence over its investees, Bagatelle Investors and Bagatelle NY. As of June 30, 2019, the Company recorded its retained interests in Bagatelle Investors and Bagatelle NY as cost method investments, with the initial basis being the previous carrying amounts of the investments. Prior to June 30, 2019, the Company had accounted for its investments in these entities under the equity method of accounting based on management’s assessment that it was not the primary beneficiary of these entities because it did not have the power to direct their day to day activities. The Company has provided no additional types of support to these entities than what is contractually required.

Additionally, the Company has a management agreement with Bagatelle NY. Under this agreement, the Company recorded management fee revenue of approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Rental income of approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million was recorded from this entity for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.3 million was recorded from this entity for the each of the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Net receivables from the Bagatelle Investors and Bagatelle NY included in due from related parties, net were approximately $0.3 million and $0.1 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These receivables, combined with the Company’s equity in each of these investments, represent the Company’s maximum exposure to loss.

In the first quarter of 2018, the Company sold its 10% interest in a cost method investment, One 29 Park, LLC, for $0.6 million, resulting in a gain of $0.2 million. The gain is included as a component of other income, net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The investment was accounted for under the cost method of accounting. The Company had also entered into a management agreement with One 29 Park, LLC, under which the Company recorded management fee revenue of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The management agreement with One 29 Park, LLC terminated on September 30, 2018.

Note 9 – Related Party Transactions

Net amounts due to related parties were $0.3 million and $1.2 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company has not reserved any related party receivables as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company received approximately $1.2 million in cash advances from the TOG Liquidation Trust. The TOG Liquidation Trust is a trust that was set up in connection with a 2013 merger transaction to hold previously issued and outstanding warrants held by members of the predecessor company. Amounts due to the trust were non-interest bearing and were repayable in 2021 when the trust expires. In conjunction with entering into the Credit Agreement on May 15, 2019, the Company prepaid the $1.2 million balance due to the TOG Liquidation Trust. As a result of the prepayment, there was no amount outstanding to the TOG Liquidation Trust as of June 30, 2019. As of December 31, 2018, the $1.2 million balance due to the Liquidation Trust was included in due to related parties, long-term.

Please refer to Note 8 for details on other transactions with other related parties, and refer to Note 6 for details related to the Credit Agreement.

Note 10 – Income taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 10.2% for the six months ended June 30 2019 compared to 31.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was lower compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to the tax rates applied to domestic and foreign income (loss). Additionally, the Company’s projected annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory U.S. tax rate of 21% primarily due to the following: (i) availability of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, resulting in no federal income taxes; (ii) a full valuation allowance on the U.S. deferred tax assets, net; (iii) taxes owed in foreign jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom, Canada and Italy; and, (iv) taxes owed in state and local jurisdictions such as New York, New York City, Colorado and Tennessee.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and the various states and local jurisdictions in which it operates. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require

Proceeds from the sale of gift cards and gift certificates are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue when redeemed by the holder. There are no expiration dates on the Company’s gift card and gift certificates and the Company does not charge any service fees that would result in a decrease to a customer’s available balance. Although the Company will continue to honor all gift card and gift certificates presented for payment, it may determine the likelihood of redemption to be remote for certain gift cards and gift certificates due to, among other things, long periods of inactivity. In these circumstances, to the extent the Company determines there is no requirement for remitting balances to government agencies under unclaimed property laws, outstanding gift card and gift certificate balances may then be recognized as breakage in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income as a component of owned food, beverage and other net revenues.

Note 12 – Leases

The Company adopted ASC Topic 842 as of January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method and has applied its transition provisions at the beginning of the period of adoption. As a result, the Company did not restate comparative periods. Under this transition provision, the Company has applied the legacy guidance under Accounting Standard Codification Topic 840, Leases, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented.

Under ASC Topic 842, a lease is a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company’s contracts determined to be or contain a lease include explicitly or implicitly identified assets where the Company has the right to substantially all of the economic benefits of the assets and has the ability to direct how and for what purpose the assets are used during the lease term. Leases are classified as either operating or financing. For operating leases, the Company has recognized a lease liability equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments, and a right of use asset equal to the lease liability, subject to certain adjustments, such as prepaid rents, initial direct costs and lease incentives received from the lessor. The Company used its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that it would have to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

ASC Topic 842 includes practical expedient and policy election choices. The Company elected the practical expedient transition package available in ASC Topic 842 and, as a result, did not reassess the lease classification of existing contracts or leases or the initial direct costs associated with existing leases. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, including renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised, that also do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that is reasonably certain of exercise. Instead, lease payments for these leases are recognized as lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Additionally, the Company has elected not to separate the accounting for lease components and non-lease components, for all leased assets.

The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient, and therefore the Company did not reassess its historical conclusions with regards to whether renewal option periods should be included in the terms of its leases. Given the importance of each of its restaurant locations to its operations, the Company historically concluded that it was reasonably assured of exercising all renewal periods included in its leases as failure to exercise such options would result in an economic penalty. The Company also did not elect the portfolio approach practical expedient, which permits applying the standard to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

Upon adoption on January 1, 2019, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases of $41.8 million and $58.9 million, respectively. The difference between the right-of-use asset and lease liability represents the net book value of deferred rent and tenant improvement allowances recognized by the Company as of December 31, 2018, which was adjusted against the right-of-use asset upon adoption of ASC Topic 842. There was no impact to the opening balance of retained earnings upon adoption.

There was no impact to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

The Company enters into contracts to lease office space, restaurant space and equipment with terms that expire at various dates through 2039. Under ASC Topic 842, the lease term at the lease commencement date is determined based on the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option, periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option, and periods covered by an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease in which the exercise of the option is controlled by the lessor. The Company considered a number of factors when evaluating whether the options in its lease contracts were reasonably certain of exercise, such as length of time before option exercise, expected value of the leased asset at the end of the initial lease term, importance of the lease to overall operations, costs to negotiate a new lease, and any contractual or economic penalties.

Certain of the Company’s leases also provide for percentage rent, which are variable lease costs determined as a percentage of gross sales in excess of specified, minimum sales targets, as well as other variable lease costs to reimburse the lessor for real estate tax and insurance expenses, and certain non-lease components that transfer a distinct service to the Company, such as common area maintenance services.  These percentage rents and other variable lease costs are not included in the calculation of lease payments when classifying a lease and in the measurement of the lease liability as they do not meet the definition of in-substance, fixed-lease payments under ASC Topic 842.

The Company subleases portions of its office and restaurant space where it does not use the entire space for its operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, sublease income was $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of which $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, was from related party, Bagatelle NY. Refer to Note 8 for details on transactions with this related party.

ASC Topic 842 includes a number of reassessment and re-measurement requirements for lessees based on certain triggering events or conditions, including whether a contract is or contains a lease, assessment of lease term and purchase options, measurement of lease payments, assessment of lease classification and assessment of the discount rate. The Company reviewed the reassessment and re-measurement requirements and concluded that a lease for office space required reassessment as the Company had determined not to elect to exercise an option that it had previously determined it was reasonably certain to exercise. As a result, the Company remeasured the lease liability to reflect the change in lease payments, which resulted in a reduction in the operating lease liability and a corresponding adjustment to the operating lease right-of-use asset of $1.2 million in the six months ended June 30,  2019. In addition, there were no impairment indicators identified during the six months ended June 30, 2019 that required an impairment test for the Company’s right-of-use assets or other long-lived assets in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.
