“I am extremely pleased with our top-line performance, as the strong momentum we experienced during the first quarter continued into the second quarter. This was demonstrated by leading comparable store sales growth of 12.8% when compared to 2021 and 53.5% when compared to pre-pandemic 2019. In addition, I am very proud that we were able to deliver $4.3 million of net income during a quarter in which our industry was facing tremendous headwinds. We continue to be fully staffed in order to continue our top-line momentum, deliver exceptional and unforgettable guest experiences and create long-term shareholder value. Going forward, we will continue to remain laser focused on driving sales and managing our restaurant-level margins as we navigate this dynamic environment,” said Emanuel “Manny” Hilario, President and CEO of The ONE Group.

Hilario continued, “We believe we are early in our growth strategy with significant whitespace ahead. Our 2022 pipeline is the strongest in our history, with nine new venues expected to open in the back half of the year. Looking ahead, we foresee a total addressable market of at least 400 restaurants including 200 STK restaurants globally and at least 200 Kona Grills domestically with best in class returns. We are targeting between 40% and 50% ROIs for new Company-Owned STKs and for Company-Owned Kona Grills.”

*Comparable sales represent total U.S. food and beverage sales at owned and managed units opened for at least a full 18-months. This measure includes total revenue from our owned and managed locations. The Company monitors sales growth at its established restaurant base in addition to growth that results from restaurant acquisitions; the Company has presented comparable sales growth from 2019 to illustrate how sales at its restaurant base before the COVID-19 pandemic compare to sales as COVID-19 restrictions have eased and the Company has reopened in-person dining.

** Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash rent expense, pre-opening expenses, non-recurring gains and losses including incremental costs related to COVID-19, stock-based compensation and certain transactional costs. Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Refer to the reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA in this release.

***Restaurant Operating Profit. We define Restaurant Operating Profit as owned restaurant net revenue minus owned restaurant cost of sales and owned restaurant operating expenses. Restaurant Operating Profit has been presented in this press release and is a


supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Refer to the reconciliation of Operating income to Restaurant Operating Profit in this release.

****Adjusted Net Income. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income before gains on CARES Act Loan forgiveness, COVID-19 costs, lease termination expenses, one-time stock-based compensation, other non-recurring costs, non-cash rent during the pre-opening period and the income tax effect of the adjustment. Adjusted Net Income has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Refer to the reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income in this release.

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Total GAAP revenues increased $10.4 million, or 14.6%, to $81.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 from $70.8 million in the second quarter of 2021.

Total owned restaurant net revenues increased $9.1 million, or 13.4%, to $76.9 million in the second quarter of 2022 from $67.8 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to strong execution of sales-driving initiatives. Consolidated comparable sales* increased 12.8% from the second quarter of 2021 and increased 53.5% from the second quarter of 2019.

Management, license and incentive fee revenues increased $1.3 million, or 44.1%, to $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 from $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to local governments lifting stay at home orders and easing seating capacity restrictions in the markets in which we operate as well as revenue generated from the opening of two managed STKs, one licensed STK, and three managed F&B venues during 2021.

Restaurant Operating Profit*** decreased $2.6 million, or 16.7%, to $12.8 million and represented 16.6% of Company-owned restaurant net revenues in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $15.3 million and 22.6% of Company-owned restaurant net revenues in the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to consolidated average wage increases and higher product costs at Kona Grill.

General and administrative costs increased $1.1 million, or 18.3%, to $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was attributable to increased activity required for growth, increased outside professional services and increased travel expenses due to rising hotel and airfare costs.

GAAP net income attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. in the second quarter of 2022 was $4.3 million, or $0.13 per share, compared to GAAP net income of $13.8 million, or $0.41 per share, in the second quarter of 2021.

Adjusted Net Income**** attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. in the second quarter of 2022 was $4.9 million, or $0.15 per share, compared to adjusted net income of $6.5 million, or $0.19 per share, in the second quarter of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA** decreased $2.5 million, or 19.6%, to $10.4 million in the second quarter of 2022 from $12.9 million in the second quarter of 2021.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $24.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, $24.5 million in term loan debt, and $10.6 million available on its revolving credit facility.

Restaurant Development

The Company intends to open at least nine new venues in 2022. There are currently two Company-owned STK restaurants (San Francisco, CA and Dallas, TX), three Company-owned Kona Grill restaurants (Riverton, UT, Columbus, OH and Desert Ridge, Arizona) and one managed STK restaurant (Stratford, UK) under development. In addition, in conjunction with REEF Kitchens, the Company plans to open three licensed units in Texas (of which one has already opened) for takeout and delivery only. These units will feature offerings from Kona Grill and Bao Yum concepts.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In this press release, we also make references to the following non-GAAP financial measures: total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units, Adjusted EBITDA, Restaurant Operating Profit and Adjusted Net Income.

Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units. Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units represents our total revenue from our owned operations as well as the revenue reported to us with respect to sales at our managed locations, where we earn management and incentive fees at these locations. We believe that this measure represents a useful internal measure of performance as it identifies total sales associated with our brands and hospitality services that we provide. Accordingly, we include this non-GAAP measure so that investors can review financial data that management uses in evaluating performance, and we believe that it will assist the investment community in assessing performance of restaurants and other services we operate, whether or not the operation is owned by us. However, because this measure is not determined in accordance with GAAP, it is susceptible to varying calculations and not all companies calculate these measures in the same manner. As a result, this measure as presented may not be directly comparable to a similarly titled measure presented by other companies. This non-GAAP measure is presented as supplemental information and not as an alternative to any GAAP measurements. The following table includes a reconciliation of our GAAP revenue to total food and beverage sales at our owned and managed units (in thousands):

Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash rent expense, pre-opening expenses, non-recurring gains and losses, stock-based compensation, COVID-19 related expense and certain transactional costs. Not all the aforementioned items defining Adjusted EBITDA occur in each reporting period but have been included in our definitions of terms based on our historical activity. Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP.

Non-cash rent expense is included in owned restaurant operating expenses and general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

We believe Restaurant Operating Profit is an important component of financial results because: (i) it is a widely used metric within the restaurant industry to evaluate restaurant-level productivity, efficiency, and performance, and (ii) we use Restaurant Operating Profit as a key metric to evaluate our restaurant financial performance compared to our competitors. We use these metrics to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period, to analyze the factors and trends affecting our business and to evaluate the performance of our restaurants.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss). We define Adjusted Net Income as net income before gains on CARES Act Loan forgiveness, COVID-19 costs, lease termination expenses, one-time stock-based compensation, other non-recurring costs, non-cash rent during the pre-opening period and the income tax effect of the adjustment.

We believe that Adjusted Net Income is an appropriate measure of operating performance, as it provides a clear picture of our operating results by eliminating certain one-time expenses that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. Adjusted Net Income is included in this press release because it is a key metric used by management, and we believe that it provides useful information facilitating performance comparisons from period to period. Adjusted Net Income has limitations as an analytical tool and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies; accordingly, you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
