Good Times Restaurants Inc.

(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Good Times Restaurants Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries as well as one partnership in which the Company is the general partner. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company owns a 50% interest in a limited partnership which owns six Good Times restaurants, is the sole general partner, and receives a management fee from the partnership. Because the Company exercises complete management control over all decisions for the partnership, except for certain veto rights, the financial statements of the partnership are consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company operates and licenses full-service restaurants under the brandBad Daddy’s Burger Bar (“Bad Daddy’s”) that are primarily located in Colorado and in the Southeast region of the United States.

The Company operates and franchises drive-thru fast-food hamburger restaurants under the brandGood Times Burgers & Frozen Custard(“Good Times”), all of which are located in Colorado and Wyoming.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices of the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all of the normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2026 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 29, 2026. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 is derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.

Fiscal Year – The Company’s fiscal year is a 52/53-week year ending on the last Tuesday of September. In a 52-week fiscal year, each of the Company’s quarterly periods consist of 13 weeks. The additional week in a 53-week fiscal year is added to the first quarter, making such quarter consist of 14 weeks. The quarters ended March 31, 2026 and April 1, 2025 each consisted of 13 weeks. Fiscal 2026 contains 52 weeks and fiscal 2025 contained 53 weeks.

Reclassification – Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the net income.

Advertising Costs – The company utilizes Advertising Funds to administer certain advertising programs for both the Bad Daddy’s and Good Times brands. For the Good Times brand, the programs benefit both us and our franchisees. We and our franchisees are required to contribute a percentage of gross sales to the fund. The contributions to these funds are designated and segregated for advertising. We consolidate the Advertising Funds into our financial statements whereby contributions from franchisees, when due to the Good Times Advertising Fund upon the generation of sales by a franchisee restaurant, are recorded and included as a component of franchise revenues. Contributions to the Good Times Advertising Fund from our franchisees were $32,000 and $36,000 for the two quarters ended March 31, 2026 and April 1, 2025 respectively.

Receivables– Our receivables typically consist of royalties and other fees due to us from independent franchisees of our brands as well as product rebates and other incentives due to us under agreements with our food and beverage vendors, payments due from third party delivery and online ordering partners, and payments due to us for sales of gift cards to third party retailers.

Receivables consist of the following as of:

ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures was issued December 2023 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. It is to be applied prospectively. However, retrospective application is permitted. The Company expects to implement ASU 2023-09 prospectively in fiscal year 2026 and does not expect that it will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2024-03 Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses was issued November 2024 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 17, 2027. It may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively and early implementation is allowed. The Company is assessing the timing and method of implementation of this accounting pronouncement but does not expect that it will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company reviewed other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

*Revenue Recognition.*Revenues consist primarily of sales from restaurant operations, which includes third-party delivery sales, and franchise revenue, which includes franchisee royalties and contributions to advertising funds. The Company recognizes revenue, pursuant to ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer, typically a restaurant customer or a franchisee/licensee.

The Company recognizes revenue from restaurant sales, including third-party delivery sales, when our performance obligation, namely the provision of food and beverage and the associated customer service, is satisfied. Restaurant sales are presented net of discounts, coupons, employee meals, complimentary meals and sales tax. Sales taxes collected from customers are included in other accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets until the taxes are remitted to the taxing authorities.

The Company sells gift cards to customers and recognizes revenue from gift cards primarily in the form of restaurant revenue. Gift card breakage, which is recognized when the likelihood of a gift card being redeemed is remote, is determined based upon the Company’s historic redemption patterns. Breakage in the amount of $223,000 and $244,000 was included inFranchise and other revenues in the two fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2026 and April 1, 2025, respectively.

The Company operates a loyalty program known as GT Rewards. With each purchase, GT Rewards members earn loyalty points that can be redeemed in the future for free products. Activity related to the rewards program is immaterial to the Company’s financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2026 and April 1, 2025.

Revenues we receive from our franchise and license agreements include sales-based royalties, and from our franchise agreements also may include advertising fund contributions, area development fees, and franchisee fees. We recognize sales-based royalties from franchisees and licensees according to the amounts due calculated from the sales occurring during the relevant accounting period. We similarly recognize Advertising Fund contributions from franchisees according to the amounts due as calculated from the sales occurring during the relevant accounting period. The Company also provides its franchisees with services associated with opening new restaurants and operating them under franchise and development agreements in exchange for area development and franchise fees. The Company would capitalize these fees upon receipt from the franchisee and then would amortize those over the contracted franchise term as the services comprising the performance obligations are satisfied. We have not received material development or franchise fees in the periods presented, and the primary performance obligations under existing franchise and development agreements have been satisfied prior to the earliest period presented in our financial statements.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of the following as of:

The following table presents goodwill and intangible assets as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025 (in thousands):

There wereno impairments to goodwill or intangible assets in the periods presented in the above table.

Other accrued liabilities consist of the following as of:

Cadence Credit Facility. The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”) maintain an amended and restated credit agreement with Cadence Bank (“Cadence”). Pursuant to the credit agreement, as amended to date, Cadence agreed to loan the Company up to $8,000,000, with a maturity date of April 20, 2028 (the “Cadence Credit Facility”). The Cadence Credit Facility amended and restated the Company’s prior credit facility with Cadence in its entirety. The Cadence Credit Facility accrues commitment fees on the daily unused balance of the facility at a rate of 0.25%. The loans may from time to time consist of a mixture of SOFR Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans with differing interest rates based upon varying additions to the Federal Funds Rate, the Cadence prime rate or Term SOFR. Each of the Subsidiaries are guarantors of the Cadence Credit Facility.

Proceeds from the Cadence Credit Facility, if and when drawn, may be used (i) to fund new restaurant development, (ii) to finance the buyout of non-controlling partners in certain restaurants, (iii) to finance the redemption, purchase or other acquisition of equity interests in the Company and (iv) for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The Cadence Credit Facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The Cadence Credit Facility also requires the Company to maintain various financial condition ratios, including minimum liquidity, an amended maximum leverage ratio and an amended minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition, to the extent the aggregate outstanding balance under the revolver under the Cadence Credit Facility exceeds $4.0 million, the Company is required to meet a new specified leverage ratio, on a pro forma basis, before making further borrowings as well as certain restricted payments, investments and growth capital expenditures. As of the date of filing of this report, the Company was in compliance with each of these covenants under the Cadence Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2026, the weighted average interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Cadence Credit Facility was 7.03%.

As a result of entering into the Cadence Credit Facility and the various amendments, the Company paid loan origination costs including professional fees of approximately $324,000 and is amortizing these costs over the term of the credit agreement. As of March 31, 2026, the unamortized balance of these fees was $75,000.

In connection with the Cadence Credit Facility, the Company and the Subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Security and Pledge Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Cadence. Under the Security Agreement, the Cadence Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all the assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries.

As of March 31, 2026, there were $750,000 of borrowings against the facility, all of which is due during the fiscal year ending September 2028 and is classified as a long-term liability in the accompanying balance sheet. Availability of the Cadence Credit Facility for borrowings is reduced by the outstanding face value of any letters of credit issued under the facility. As of March 31, 2026, there were approximately $10,000 in outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility, and approximately $7,240,000 of committed funds available.

Parker Promissory Note. Good Times Drive Thru, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is the maker of an unsecured promissory note in connection with the purchase of the previously franchised Good Times Burgers and Frozen Custard restaurant located in the Denver suburb of Parker, Colorado. JGN Management, Inc., the former franchisee, is the holder of the note. The Parker Promissory Note fully amortizes over its original ten-year life maturing on June 1, 2034, carries an interest rate of 5.00% and is, in all respects, subordinate to the Cadence Credit Facility. The Parker Promissory Note allows for Good Times’ early redemption of the note by payment of the outstanding principal balance no earlier than May 22, 2027. As of March 31, 2026, the outstanding principal balance on the Parker Promissory Note was $326,000. Annual principal maturities over the next five years are approximately $35,000 each year.

Total interest expense on notes payable was $30,000 and $53,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and April 1, 2025, respectively.

Our basic earnings per share calculation is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Our diluted earnings per share calculation is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued. Potentially dilutive securities for this calculation consist of in-the-money outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and warrants (which were assumed to have been exercised at the average market price of the common shares during the reporting period). The treasury stock method is used to measure the dilutive impact of in-the-money stock options.

The following table reconciles basic weighted-average shares outstanding to diluted weighted-average shares outstanding:

There may be various claims in process, matters in litigation, and other contingencies brought against the Company by employees, vendors, customers, franchisees, or other parties. Evaluating these contingencies is a complex process that may involve substantial judgment on the potential outcome of such matters, and the ultimate outcome of such contingencies may differ from our current analysis. We regularly review the adequacy of accruals and disclosures related to such contingent liabilities in consultation with legal counsel. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these claims with certainty, it is management’s opinion that any reasonably possible losses associated with such contingencies have been adequately accrued or would be immaterial to our financial statements.

The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. The Company's material long-term operating lease agreements are for the land and buildings for our restaurants as well as our corporate office. The initial lease terms range from 10 years to 20 years, most of which include renewal options of 10 to 15 years.

Components of operating lease costs are as follows for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2026 and April 1, 2025:

Weighted average lease term and discount rate are as follows:

Supplemental cash flow disclosures:

Future minimum rent payments for our operating leases as of March 31, 2026 are as follows:

The above future minimum rental amounts exclude the amortization of deferred lease incentives, renewal options that are not reasonably assured of renewal, and contingent rent. The Company generally has escalating rents over the term of the leases and records rent expense on a straight-line basis.

*Long-Lived Assets.*We review our long-lived assets including land, property, equipment and lease right-of-use assets for impairment when there are factors that indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We assess recovery of assets at the individual restaurant level and typically include an analysis of historical cash flows, future operating plans, and cash flow projections in assessing whether there are indicators of impairment. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the net book value of the assets of an individual restaurant to the fair value of those assets. This impairment process involves significant judgment in the use of estimates and assumptions pertaining to future projections and operating results.

There were impairments of long-lived assets of $227,000 recorded in the two fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2026, related to one Good Times restaurant which closed during the period. There were impairments of $494,000 in the two quarters ended April 1, 2025, related primarily to lease right-of-use assets for restaurants generating insufficient income to contribute to rent, and which the Company believed were probable to close at the end of the current lease term; and new assets deployed in restaurants where impairment was previously assessed, and the Company’s current analysis indicated impairment of assets associated with those restaurants.

*Trademarks.*Trademarks have been determined to have an indefinite life. We evaluate our trademarks for impairment annually and on an interim basis as events and circumstances warrant by comparing the fair value of the trademarks with their carrying amount. There wasno impairment required to the acquired trademarks as of March 31, 2026 and April 1, 2025.

*Goodwill.*Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of the assets of businesses the Company acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather, the Company is required to test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or whenever indications of impairment arise. The Company considers its operations to be comprised of two reporting units: (1) Good Times and (2) Bad Daddy’s. As of March 31, 2026 and April 1, 2025, the Company had $96,000 of goodwill attributable to the Good Times reporting unit and $5,617,000 of goodwill attributable to its Bad Daddy’s reporting unit.

We account for income taxes using the liability method, whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value. The deferred tax assets are reviewed periodically for recoverability and valuation allowances are adjusted as necessary.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three periods ended March 31, 2026 was (4.35%), an increase from the effective income tax rate of (10.06%) for the three periods ended April 1, 2025. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six periods ended March 31, 2026 was 7.62%, an increase from an effective income tax rate of (13.43%) for the six periods ended April 1, 2025. The change is primarily due to state taxes and an increase in ordinary income from continuing operations before income taxes (or benefits), while the benefit associated with income tax credits stayed consistent.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax and income tax in multiple U.S. state jurisdictions. The Company’s tax years corresponding to the Company’s fiscal years 2023 through 2026 remain open for examination by the authorities under the normal three-year statute of limitations. Should the Company utilize any of its U.S. or state NOLs, the tax year to which the original loss relates will remain open to examination. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained upon audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. No accrual for interest and penalties was considered necessary as of March 31, 2026.

Stock-based Compensation. The Company has traditionally maintained incentive compensation plans that include provision for the issuance of equity-based awards. The Company established the 2008 Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan in 2008 (the “2008 Plan”) and has outstanding awards that were issued under the 2008 Plan. Subsequently, the 2008 Plan expired in 2018 and the Company established a new plan, the 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) during the 2018 fiscal year, which was approved by shareholders on May 24, 2018. Future awards will be issued under the 2018 Plan. On February 8, 2022 the Company’s shareholders approved a proposal to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the 2018 Plan from 900,000 to 1,050,000, which currently represents the maximum number of shares available for issuance under the 2018 Plan.

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the grant). The Company recognizes the impact of forfeitures as forfeitures occur.

For the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and April 1, 2025, we recognized $22,000 and $30,000 respectively, related to our stock-based compensation arrangements. Our net income (loss) for the two quarters ended March 31, 2026 and April 1, 2025 includes $45,000 and $65,000, respectively, of compensation costs related to our stock-based compensation arrangements.

Non-controlling Interests. Non-controlling interests are presented as a separate item in the shareholders’ equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The amount of consolidated net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests is presented on the face of the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions, while changes in ownership interest that do result in deconsolidation of a subsidiary require gain or loss recognition based on the fair value on the deconsolidation date.

The equity interest of the unrelated limited partner is shown on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in the shareholders’ equity section as a non-controlling interest and is adjusted each period to reflect the limited partner’s share of the net income or loss as well as any cash contributions or distributions to or from the limited partner for the period. The limited partner’s share of the net income or loss in the subsidiary is shown as non-controlling interest income or expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. All inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated.

Non-controlling interests at the end of the quarter consisted of one joint-venture partnership involving six Good Times restaurants, in which the Company is the controlling partner and owns a 50.0% interest.

Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance, makes key decisions, and allocates resources at the concept level and has identified Good Times and Bad Daddy's as our separate operating and reportable segments. The Good Times segment includes the results of our Company-owned Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard restaurants, which are located in the United States and operate within the quick-service restaurant segment of the industry. It also includes royalties and other fees from our franchised locations in the United States. The Bad Daddy’s segment includes the results of our Company-owned Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar restaurants, which are located in the United States and operate within the full-service dining restaurant segment of the industry. It also includes license fees from one licensed location in the United States. Unallocated costs such as human resources, finance, purchasing, restaurant development and administration are recorded at the corporate level and are included in Other. The amounts reported for each operating segment contain allocations from Corporate for items such as technology support, repair and maintenance, marketing and restaurant accounting. In addition, Corporate collects rent from the Good Times segment related to one restaurant for which the real estate is included in corporate assets. There are no material transactions between the Good Times and Bad Daddy’s segments.

Restaurant sales for each operating segment include revenues generated by the operation of Company-owned restaurants, which include food and beverage sales, net of discounts. Franchise and other revenues for each operating segment include franchisee royalties and contributions to advertising funds, license fees, and other service fees, as well as gift card breakage.

Our CODM uses Restaurant-level operating profit as the measure for assessing performance and allocating resources for our segments. Restaurant-level operating profit is widely regarded in the restaurant industry as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance. The Company defines restaurant-level operating profit to be restaurant revenues minus restaurant-level operating costs, excluding restaurant closures and impairment costs. The measure includes restaurant-level occupancy costs, which include fixed rents, percentage rents, common area maintenance charges, real estate and personal property taxes, general liability insurance and other property costs, but excludes depreciation.

We do not rely on any major customers as a source of sales, and the customers and long-lived assets of our operating segments are located in the United States.

Prior to fourth quarter 2025, certain general and administrative expenses now included in Other were combined and reported with our Bad Daddy's segment. In order to better align with our internal reporting and provide a better representation of restaurant-level operating profit, these expenses have been removed from the Bad Daddy's segment and are now stated separately in Other. Fiscal 2025 figures have been recast for comparability.

The following tables reconcile our segment results to our consolidated results reported in accordance with GAAP (in thousands):
