Refi Discussions. On or about July 9, 2025, FAT Brands entered into a confidentiality agreement with certain Holders of notes issued by the Company’s special purpose, whole business securitization financing subsidiaries. The Confidentiality Agreement facilitated the Company’s ability to engage in discussions with the Holders regarding one or more potential transactions involving a refinancing, restructuring or similar transaction with the Holders. As part of the confidentiality agreement, FAT Brands agreed to publicly disclose certain information, which Thursday’s 8-K accomplished.

First Look. The potential transaction described in the “Cleansing Material” was the Company’s initial proposal to the Holders. An agreement has not yet been reached with the Holders, and we expect negotiations to continue. The disclosed material provides summary term sheets for both FAT Brands’ and Twin Hospitality’s whole business securitizations.

FAT Brands (FAT) – Reports 2Q25 Results

FAT Brands (NASDAQ: FAT) is a leading global franchising company that strategically acquires, markets, and develops fast casual, quick-service, casual dining, and polished casual dining concepts around the world. The Company currently owns 17 restaurant brands: Round Table Pizza, Fatburger, Marble Slab Creamery, Johnny Rockets, Fazoli’s, Twin Peaks, Great American Cookies, Hot Dog on a Stick, Buffalo’s Cafe & Express, Hurricane Grill & Wings, Pretzelmaker, Elevation Burger, Native Grill & Wings, Yalla Mediterranean and Ponderosa and Bonanza Steakhouses, and franchises and owns over 2,300 units worldwide.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

2Q25 Results. Revenue of $146.8 million declined 3.4% y-o-y, but was above our $141 million estimate. The revenue decline was driven by a decrease in restaurant revenue resulting from the closure of five underperforming Smokey Bones locations, the temporary closure of one Smokey Bones location for conversion into a Twin Peaks lodge, and lower same-store sales, partially offset by the opening of new Twin Peaks lodges. FAT Brands reported a net loss of $54.2 million, or a loss of $3.17/sh, compared to a net loss of $39.4 million, or a loss of $2.43/sh, last year. We had projected a net loss of $46 million or a loss of $2.56/sh.

Pipeline and Openings. The development pipeline remains robust with roughly 1,000 signed deals. Eighteen new locations opened during the quarter, with FAT Brands well positioned to see 100 locations open in 2025. The opening of new locations will help drive go-forward adjusted EBITDA for the Company.

Acquisition Strategy. Management noted the Company utilizes a near-term focus on brands that will accelerate growth for its Twin Peaks brand as well as drive revenue and profit at its cookie and pretzel factory. Smokey Bones is an example of accelerating Twin Peaks growth as select Smokey Bones are being converted into Twin Peaks due to having a similar format, providing more efficient conversions. The Nestle Toll House Café by Chip acquisition drove unit growth of Great American Cookies while also getting cookie dough business for its manufacturing facility.

Step 2. FAT Brands completed the second step in its anticipated planned listing of its Twin Hospitality unit as a standalone public company. FAT successfully completed the refinancing of the whole business securitization credit facility of its Twin Peaks and Smokey Bones restaurant brands.

Details. The aggregate principal balance of the new Series 2024-1 fixed rate notes is $416.7 million across four tranches with a weighted average annual interest rate of 9.5%.  The interest rate on the new notes is modestly higher than the rate on the previous securitization notes. However, the first anticipated call date goes from January 2025 to October 2027. We would point out that if the new notes are not repaid or refinanced by October 2027, additional interest equal to 5.0% per annum will accrue on each tranche of notes. The noteholders also are receiving warrants to acquire an aggregate of 5% of the Class A common stock of Twin Hospitality.
