Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 –Organization and Nature of Operations

Nature of Operations

Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. was organized as a Delaware corporation on May 2, 2025, and in June 2025 re-domiciled to be incorporated in Texas for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (the "IPO") and other related transactions in order to carry on the business of Black Rock Coffee Holdings, LLC ("Black Rock OpCo") and its consolidated subsidiaries (together with Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc., the "Company") as a publicly-traded entity.

The Company is a high-growth operator of guest-centric, drive-thru and lobby coffee bars offering premium caffeinated beverages and an elevated in-store experience. As of June 30, 2026, there were 200 stores operating inseven U.S. states.

Initial Public Offering and Reorganization Transactions

Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. successfully closed an IPO of 16,911,764 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $20.00 per share on September 15, 2025, which included 2,205,882 shares of Class A common stock issued pursuant to the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock. The net proceeds from the IPO aggregated to approximately $306.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses payable in connection with the offering. Shares of Class A common stock began trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "BRCB" on September 12, 2025.

In connection with the IPO, Black Rock OpCo amended and restated its existing limited liability company agreement to, among other things, (i) recapitalize all existing ownership interests in Black Rock OpCo into 43,079,227 membership units of Black Rock OpCo (" LLC Units") (before giving effect to the use of proceeds from the IPO, as described below ), (ii) appoint Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. as the sole managing member of Black Rock OpCo, and (iii) provide certain redemption rights to the owners of the LLC Units in Black Rock OpCo, exclusive of the Company (the "Continuing Equity Owners").

Simultaneously, Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. amended and restated its certificate of formation to, among other things, provide (i) for Class A common stock, with each share of Class A common stock entitling its holder toone vote per share on all matters presented to the shareholders generally; (ii) for Class B common stock, with each share of Class B common stock entitling its holder toone vote per share on all matters presented to the shareholders generally; (iii) for Class C common stock, with each share of Class C common stock entitling its holder toten votes per share on all matters presented to the shareholders generally, until the earlier of (a) September 15, 2035, and (b) with respect to each Co-Founder ("Co-Founder" refers to each of Daniel Brand, Jeff Hernandez, Jake Spellmeyer or Bryan Pereboom), the date on which the aggregate number of shares of Class C common stock held by such Co-Founder or certain of their affiliates is less than thirty-three percent (33%) of the shares of Class C common stock held by such Co-Founder and certain of their affiliates as of the closing of the IPO, each such holders' Class C common stock will convert to fully paid non-assessable shares of Class B common stock; (iv) that shares of Class B and Class C common stock may only be held by the Continuing Equity Owners and their respective permitted transferees; and (v) for preferred stock, which can be issued by the board of directors in one or more series without shareholder approval. As a result, Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. became a holding company and the sole managing member of Black Rock OpCo and controls the business affairs of Black Rock OpCo.

Concurrently with the consummation of the IPO, an affiliate of the Company's Co-Founders purchased 3,118,938 newly issued LLC Units (and corresponding shares of the Company's Class C common stock) from Black Rock OpCo for approximately $62.4 million at a price per unit equal to $20.00 per share (the "IPO price"). Further, Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. used the net proceeds from the IPO to: (i) purchase 3,857,642 newly issued LLC Units for approximately $71.8 million directly from Black Rock OpCo at a price per unit equal to the IPO price of Class A common stock less the underwriting discount; and (ii) purchase 13,054,122 LLC Units from certain Continuing Equity Owners for approximately $242.8 million at a price per unit equal to the IPO price per share of Class A common stock less the underwriting discount.

Note 2 –Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), since the Continuing Equity Owners control the Company after the Transactions (i.e., there was no change in control of Black Rock OpCo), the financial statements of the combined entity represent a continuation of the financial position and results of operations of Black Rock OpCo. Accordingly, the historical cost basis of assets, liabilities, and equity of Black Rock OpCo are carried over to the condensed consolidated financial statements of the combined company as a common control transaction.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to the

Transactions have been presented to combine the previously separate entities. These unaudited condensed and consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and the applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented have been included.

The unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 4, 2026.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. and Black Rock OpCo. Black Rock OpCo is a variable interest entity and Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. is the primary beneficiary and sole managing member of Black Rock OpCo and has decision making authority that significantly affects the performance of the entity. Accordingly, the Company consolidates Black Rock OpCo and reports noncontrolling interest representing the economic interest in Black Rock OpCo held by the Continuing Equity Owners. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 represents the portion of earnings attributable to the economic interest in Black Rock OpCo held by the Continuing Equity Owners. The noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026 represents the portion of the net assets of the Company attributable to the Continuing Equity Owners, based on the portion of the LLC Units owned by such unit holders. As of June 30, 2026, the noncontrolling interest holders' economic ownership percentage was 55.6%.

Concentrations

For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, three suppliers accounted for approximately 92% and 93% of purchases, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, three suppliers accounted for approximately 90% of purchases.

Significant Accounting Policies Update

There have been no material updates to the Company's significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2026 from those previously reported in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"), the Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the Company is no longer an emerging growth company or until the Company affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period. As a result, the Company's financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in the update are intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily through improvements to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information, specifically requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. These amendments are effective for public business entities’ annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Furthermore, these amendments are effective for private business entities' annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The application of these amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of this standard on its income tax disclosures and expects to provide additional detail and disclosures under the new guidance.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The intent of this ASU is to improve public entity financial footnote disclosures around types of expenses in commonly presented expense categories (i.e. cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development). The amendments in this ASU do not change or remove current expense disclosure requirements, but rather 1) impact where this information appears in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and 2) add additional disclosure requirements for certain expense line items appearing on the face of the consolidated statement of operations. ASU 2024-03, as amended, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will assess potential impacts of this standard on its disclosures in future periods.

Concurrently with the closing of the IPO, Black Rock OpCo entered into a new credit agreement (the "New Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent, and other loan parties and lenders party thereto to provide for (i) a $50.0 million term loan (the “New Term Loan”) and (ii) a $25.0 million revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the New Term Loan, the “New Credit Facilities”). As of the closing of the IPO, the aggregate principal amount borrowed under the New Credit Facilities was $50.0 million from the New Term Loan which was used, together with proceeds from the Co-Founder Contribution and net proceeds from the IPO, to repay all amounts outstanding under the Company's amended Senior Credit Facility with RCS SBIC Fund II, L.P. and TCW Asset Management Company, LLC (the "Prior Credit Facility").

Pursuant to the New Credit Agreement, certain subsidiaries of Black Rock OpCo are guarantors of the obligations under the New Credit Agreement. Simultaneously with the execution of the New Credit Agreement, Black Rock OpCo and its subsidiaries entered into a pledge and security agreement. Pursuant to the pledge and security agreement, the New Credit Facilities are secured by liens on substantially all of the Company's assets, including the intellectual property of Black Rock OpCo and its subsidiaries and the equity interests of Black Rock OpCo's various subsidiaries.

The New Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, restrictions on indebtedness, liens on assets, fundamental changes and asset sales, investments, negative pledges, repurchase of stock, dividends and other distributions, and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the New Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Loan Parties (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) to not exceed a maximum net rent adjusted leverage ratio for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025, of 4.75 to 1.00 and to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025, of no less than 1.20 to 1.00.

Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement are available as alternate base rate (“ABR”) or term benchmark loans. ABR loans under the New Credit Agreement accrue interest at an alternate base rate plus an applicable rate, and term benchmark loans accrue interest at an adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus an applicable rate. The ABR rate represents the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the Federal Reserve’s Bank of New York overnight rate plus 0.5%, and (iii) the one-month adjusted term SOFR rate plus 1.0%. The applicable rate for the ABR and term benchmark loans is tied to a pricing grid tied to our net rent adjusted leverage ratio. The adjusted SOFR rate represents the term SOFR rate plus 0.10%. The applicable rate spread for ABR and term benchmark loans ranges from 0.50% to 1.75% and 1.50% to 2.75%, respectively. Interest on the New Credit Agreement is payable at least quarterly and upon maturity. As of June 30, 2026, the weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the New Credit Facilities was approximately 5.99%.

Borrowings under the Prior Credit Facility bore interest at either (a) the SOFR, plus 6.00%, plus a 0.50% spread or (b) the greatest of (i)2.50% per annum, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (iii) the Prime Rate, and (iv) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a one-month tenor in effect on such date plus 1.0%, in each case, plus 5.00% and a 0.5% spread, with the amount of spread in both scenarios based on a pricing grid tied to the Company’s total net leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2025, the interest rate on outstanding borro wings was approximately 10.57%.

The New Revolving Credit Facility also has a variable commitment fee, which is payable quarterly based on Black Rock OpCo's net rent adjusted leverage ratio and ranges from 0.25% to 0.35% per annum. The Company is obligated to pay a fixed fronting fee for letters of credit of 0.125% per annum.

Amounts borrowed under the New Revolving Credit Facility may be repaid and re-borrowed through maturity of the New Credit Facilities in September 2030. The New Term Loan matures in September 2030. The New Term Loan may be repaid or prepaid but may not be re-borrowed. Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement are payable in quarterly principal installments and upon maturity. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of June 30, 2026.

Note 7 –Leases

The Company leases its stores, roasting and warehouse facilities, and corporate offices under operating leases, typically with initial terms of 10 to 15 years and multiple renewal options for additional periods of up tofive years. Renewal options are generally not recognized as a part of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as it is not reasonably certain at the commencement date that the Company would exercise the renewal options.

The components of net lease costs, included in occupancy and related expenses, pre-opening costs as well as selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, were as follows:

Note 8 –Noncontrolling Interest

Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. is the sole managing member of Black Rock OpCo and as a result consolidates the results of operations of Black Rock OpCo. The noncontrolling interest balance represents the LLC Units held by the Continuing Equity Owners. The Seventh Amended and Restated LLC Agreement provides that holders of Black Rock OpCo LLC Units may, from time to time, require Black Rock OpCo to redeem all or a portion of their LLC Units for newly issued Class A common stock in Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. on aone-for-one basis. In connection with any redemptions or exchange, Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. will receive a corresponding number of Black Rock OpCo LLC Units, increasing Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc.'s total ownership in Black Rock OpCo. Changes in Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc.'s ownership in Black Rock OpCo, while Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. retains controlling interest in Black Rock OpCo, will be accounted for as equity transactions. As such, future redemptions or direct exchanges of LLC Units by the Continuing Equity Owners will result in a change in ownership and reduce the amount recorded as noncontrolling interest and increase additional paid-on capital.

The following table summarizes the ownership interest in Black Rock OpCo as of June 30, 2026:

(in thousands)LLC UnitsOwnership %
LLC Units held by Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc.22,20844.4%
LLC Units owned by Continuing Equity Owners(1)27,78455.6%
Total LLC Units outstanding(1)49,992100%

(1)Excludes approximately 80.5 thousand restricted LLC Units still subject to time-based vesting requirements.

The weighted-average ownership percentage for the applicable reporting period is used to attribute net income (loss) to Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. and the noncontrolling interest holders. Net income (loss) prior to the Company's IPO close was allocated based on the respective ownership percentages at that time. The noncontrolling interest holders' weighted-average ownership percentage for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was 57.6% and 60.4%, respectively.

Note 9 –Equity-Based Compensation

Stock Options

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted stock options under the 2025 Plan to purchase shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price equal to the Company's closing stock price on the grant date. The stock options will vest on May 14, 2029, subject to continued service through such date.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2026:

Stock Options OutstandingWeighted-Average Exercise PriceWeighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Outstanding as of December 31, 2025647,86220.009.7$1,458
Granted95,240$7.16
Forfeited(25,406)20.00
Outstanding as of June 30, 2026717,696$18.309.3$108

As of June 30, 2026, no options were vested or exercisable. The total unrecognized equity-based compensation related to the stock options was approximately $4.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

The grant date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

Dividend yield(1)None
Volatility(2)50.3%
Risk-free interest rate(3)4.17%
Expected term (years)(4)6.5
Weighted-average grant date fair value per share$3.93

(1) The Company utilized a dividend yield ofzero, as it had no history or plan of declaring dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.

(2) Volatility was based on a group of industry peers with sufficient history.

(3) The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with terms approximately equal to the expected term of the options.

(4) Because the Company does not yet have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis for estimating future exercise patterns,

the expected term was calculated using a simplified method averaging the contractual term and the vesting period of the option.

Restricted Stock Units

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") to employees and directors under the 2025 Plan. RSUs represent the right to receive shares of the Company's Class A common stock at a specified future date. RSUs under the 2025 Plan are generally subject to a service condition. The service condition for the employee grants is satisfied over 3 years, whereby one-third of the RSUs vest on each annual anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date. The service condition for directors is satisfied on the date of the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2027, or, if earlier, the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date.

The activity for RSUs for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was as follows:

Number of RSUsWeighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested as of December 31, 2025341,246$20.00

Forfeited(18,124)20.00
Nonvested as of June 30, 2026419,478$16.71

As of June 30, 2026, unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs wasapproximately $5.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

Note 10 –Income Taxes and Tax Receivable Agreement

Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. is a Subchapter C corporation and is subject to federal and state income taxes. Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc.'s sole material asset is its ownership interest in Black Rock OpCo, which is a limited liability company that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and certain state and local income tax purposes. Black Rock OpCo's net taxable income and related tax credits, if any, are passed through to its members and included in the members' tax returns. The income tax burden on the earnings taxed to the noncontrolling interest holders is not reported by the Company in its condensed consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP.

Income tax expense$101$144$204$222
Effective tax rate3.0%(15.7)%3.9%(12.9)%

The effective tax rate differs from our statutory rate in the periods presented due to the effect of flow-through entity income and losses for which the taxable income or loss is allocated to the noncontrolling interests and discrete tax items.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company's deferred tax assets increased $19.9 million primarily due to exchanges of LLC Units for Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. Class A common stock and additional tax basis increases generated from expected future payments under the TRA. As of June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $72.7 million. The deferred tax assets are due to the tax effects of temporary differences in the book basis as compared to the tax basis of Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc.'s investment in Black Rock OpCo. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations.

As each of the Continuing Equity Owners elects to redeem their LLC Units into Class A common stock, Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. will assume their aggregate historical tax basis, which will create a net tax benefit for the Company. The Company will only recognize a deferred tax asset for financial reporting purposes when it is more-likely-than-not that the tax benefit will be realized.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the Transactions, the Company entered into a TRA with Black Rock OpCo and Continuing Equity Owners that provides for the payment by Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. to the Continuing Equity Owners of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. realizes (or in some circumstances is deemed to realize) related to the tax basis adjustments.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company's TRA liability increased $23.1 million due to exchanges of LLC Units for Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. Class A common stock and changes in the Company's statutory income tax rate. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had a liability of approximately $62.0 million related to its projected obligations under the TRA and is classified as non-current on the condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the expected date of payment.

Note 11 –Net Income Per Share

Prior to the IPO, the Black Rock OpCo membership structure included common units, redeemable Series A Preferred Units, Series A-1 Preferred Units, Series A-2 Preferred Units, and profits interests units. The Company analyzed the calculation of net income (loss) per unit for the periods prior to the IPO and determined that it resulted in values that would not be meaningful to the users of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, net income (loss) per unit information has not been presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

The following tables set forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to compute basic and diluted net income per share of Class A common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026:

Note 13 –Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Obligations

We enter into fixed-price and price-to-be-fixed green coffee purchase commitments. For both fixed-price and price-to-be-fixed purchase commitments, we expect to take delivery of green coffee and to utilize the coffee in a reasonable period of time in the ordinary course of business. Such contracts are used for the normal purchases of green coffee and not for speculative purposes. We do not enter into futures contracts or other derivative instruments related to our green coffee purchase commitments.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to various legal actions in the ordinary course of business. In determining loss contingencies, the Company considers the likelihood of loss as well as the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of such loss or liability. An estimated loss is recognized when it is considered probable that the liability has been incurred and when the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. While any claim, proceeding or litigation has an element of uncertainty, the Company believes the outcome of any of these matters that are pending or threatened will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results or operations, or cash flows as of June 30, 2026.

Litigation Related to Securities Claims

On June 18, 2026, plaintiff Stephen Aiello filed a putative class action lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. and its directors as well as Mark D. Davis, Chief Executive Officer, and Rodderick F. Booth, Chief Financial Officer, for alleged violations of U.S. federal securities laws. The plaintiff purports to bring claims on behalf of a class of acquirers of Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. securities between September 12, 2025 and May 12, 2026, and generally alleges that certain statements regarding the Company's store expansion strategy and the impact of new store openings on existing store performance were materially false or misleading. The complaint primarily seeks compensatory damages for all affected members of the purported class.

The Company intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit. Given the nature of this case, including that the proceeding is in its early stages, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this case or estimate the range of potential loss, if any.
