Previous wording

In the third quarter of 2023, we began a restructuring plan that involves exiting company-owned transition studios and other measures designed to reduce costs to achieve our long-term margin goals and focus on pure franchise operations. The plan was approved and initiated in the third quarter of 2023 and is expected to continue throughout 2024; however ultimate timing will depend on lease termination negotiations. During the fourth quarter of 2023 our restructuring plan was expanded due to the addition of Rumble company-owned transition studios to the restructuring plan and a refranchising plan that was terminated by the Company due to the refranchisor’s non-compliance with the franchise agreements and the subsequent closure of certain studios. This refranchise termination resulted in us incurring losses for contract termination expenses, other expenses associated with exiting the studios, and loss contingencies related to the refranchisor’s unpaid payroll. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized total restructuring charges of $6.9 million, net of gains, primarily for contract termination and other associated costs, loss on lease termination and sale or disposal of assets, and other restructuring charges.

We are negotiating lease terminations for operating leases for certain studios for which we have lease liabilities recorded and the expected cash payments and expenses to exit the lease may be greater than expected rent expense for that period, depending on the outcome of lease termination negotiations. Cash outflows related to these lease terminations are expected to be incurred throughout 2024.

Beginning in the quarter ended June 30, 2023, we introduced an additional definition for studios no longer operating to better capture the composition of our studios in operation. A studio is considered no longer operating and excluded from the total number of studios in operation if it has no sales for nine consecutive months or more. If a studio deemed to be no longer operating subsequently generates sales at a future date, it re-enters the operating studio count (and the number of studios no longer operating is reduced). All prior periods presented have been updated to reflect this additional definition.
