WEST FARGO, ND / ACCESSWIRE / November 15, 2022 / West Fargo, North Dakota (NASDAQ:BTBD)(NASDAQ:BTBDW), operator of Burger Time, Keegan's Seafood Grille, Pie in the Sky Coffee and Bakery and Village Bier Garten, today reported financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended October 2, 2022.

Key highlights of the Company's financial results include:

• Revenue for the third quarter of 2022 increased 76.4% to $4.0 million from $2.3 in fiscal 2021. The increase during the period resulted from sales from the recently acquired businesses that contributed $1.9 million in revenue.
• Recently acquired restaurants contributed $1.9 million in revenue during the quarter
• The Company ended the quarter with $7.2 million in cash
• Same Store Sales for company-owned Burger Time restaurants decreased by 14.0% for the quarter compared to the prior year's quarter. Staffing challenges also adversely impacted Burger Time, resulting in limited hours and isolated daily store closures during the quarter
• Income from operations for the 39 weeks declined to $8,991 from $358,743 in the year-earlier period
• The year-to-date net loss was $224,531 compared to the net income of $583,267 a year ago

Gary Copperud, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our results this quarter reflect continued growth in revenue as a result of our recent acquisitions offsetting a decline in revenues at Burger Time. We also incurred higher-than-expected costs related to transitioning the acquired businesses. Results reflect an unrealized loss on investments of $155,220 and a loss on the equity in Bagger Dave's of $135,813. The Company faced inflationary pressures on costs and increased challenges in recruiting and retaining employees. I'm excited about all three of our recent restaurant acquisitions, which we expect will meet our target returns and contribute to a doubling of sales for fiscal 2022 compared to 2021."

Fiscal 2022 Outlook: Because of the uncertain nature of the performance of recent acquisitions and the evolving character of our Company and because of continuing uncertainty surrounding public health concerns and the aftermath, impacts of supply chain constraints, and the current inflationary environment, the Company is not, at this point, providing a financial forecast for fiscal 2022.
