Bowlero Corp., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (referred to herein as the “Company”, “Bowlero”, “we,” “us” and “our”) are the world’s largest operator of bowling entertainment centers.

The Company operates bowling entertainment centers under different brand names. Our AMF branded centers are traditional bowling centers and the Bowlero branded centers offer a more upscale entertainment concept with lounge seating, enhanced food and beverage offerings, and more robust customer service for individuals and group events. Additionally, within the brands, there exists a spectrum where some AMF branded centers are more upscale and some Bowlero branded centers are more traditional. All of our centers, regardless of branding, are managed in a fully integrated and consistent basis since all of our centers are in the same business of operating bowling entertainment.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. Our quarterly financial data should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2022.

Reverse Recapitalization: On December 15, 2021, (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (“BCA”) dated as of July 1, 2021, by and among Bowlero Corp. prior to the Closing Date (“Old Bowlero”) and Isos Acquisition Corporation (“Isos”).

Notwithstanding the legal form of the Business Combination pursuant to the BCA, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, Isos was treated as the acquired company and Old Bowlero was treated as the acquirer for accounting and financial statement reporting purposes.

The consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations prior to the reverse recapitalization are those of the Company, thus the shares and corresponding capital amounts and losses per share, prior to the reverse recapitalization, have been retroactively restated based on shares reflecting the exchange ratio of 24.841 established in the BCA.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements and related notes include the accounts of Bowlero Corp. and the subsidiaries it controls. Control is determined based on ownership rights or, when applicable, based on whether the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The Company’s interest in 20% to 50% owned companies that are not controlled are accounted for using the equity method, unless the Company does not sufficiently influence the management of the investee. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates:    The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the balance sheets, statements of operations and accompanying notes. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, cash flow projections; the fair value of assets and liabilities in acquisitions; derivatives with hedge accounting; share-based compensation; depreciation and impairment of long-lived assets; carrying amount and recoverability analyses of property and equipment, assets held for sale, goodwill and other intangible assets; valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and income tax uncertainties; and reserves for litigation, claims and self-insurance costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair-value Estimates:    We have various financial instruments included in our financial statements. Financial instruments are carried in our financial statements at either cost or fair value. We estimate fair value of assets and liabilities using the following hierarchy using the highest level possible:

Level 1:     Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2:    Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but are corroborated by market data.

Level 3:    Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash:    The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash equivalents of $90,389 and $88,067 at April 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively. The Company accepts a range of debit and credit cards, and these transactions are generally transmitted to a bank for reimbursement within 24 hours. The payments due from the banks for these debit and credit card transactions are generally received, or settled, within 24 to 48 hours of the transmission date. The Company considers all debit and credit card transactions that settle in less than seven days to be cash equivalents. Amounts due from the banks for these transactions classified as cash equivalents totaled $11,844 and $8,688 at April 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively. The Company considers sales proceeds from a sale-leaseback transaction held by a qualified intermediary in separate bank accounts as restricted cash, as part of like-kind exchange requirements under U.S. tax law.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:

Derivatives:    We are exposed to interest rate risk. To manage these risks, we entered into interest rate swap derivative transactions associated with a portion of our outstanding debt. The interest rate swaps were designated for accounting purposes as cash flow hedges of forecasted floating interest payments on variable rate debt. The Company's interest rate swaps expired on June 30, 2022.

The reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) into income during each reporting period were as follows:

The fair value of the swap and cap agreements excludes accrued interest and takes into consideration current interest rates and current likelihood of the swap counterparties’ compliance with its contractual obligations. There are no income taxes related to the amounts recorded to AOCI due to tax credits and the full valuation allowance on deferred taxes.

Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders:    We compute net loss per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock under the two-class method. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock have equal rights to the earnings of the Company. Our participating securities include the redeemable convertible preferred stock that have a non-forfeitable right to dividends in the event that a dividend is paid on common stock, but do not participate in losses, and thus are not included in a two-class method in periods of loss. Since the Company has reported a net loss for all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as their effect is antidilutive and accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same for all periods presented. Dilutive securities include convertible preferred stock, earnouts, stock options, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). See Note 15 - Net Loss Per Share.

Emerging Growth Company Status: The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable.

The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with those of another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards:   We reviewed the accounting pronouncements that became effective for our fiscal year 2023 and besides ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”), we determined that either they were not applicable, or they did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

As a result of ASU 2020-05, Topic 842 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company will adopt Topic 842 as of July 4, 2022 within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending July 2, 2023. The Company intends to adopt the new standard using a modified retrospective transition approach and will apply the provisions at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before the effective date. The new standard provides a number of optional practice expedients in transition. The Company intends to elect the practical expedients to not reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. Additionally, we do not intend to elect the practical expedient allowing the use of hindsight or the practical expedient related to land easements. The Company is still evaluating the practical expedients related to ongoing lease accounting. Although management continues to evaluate the impacts on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures, management currently estimates total assets and liabilities will increase approximately $700,000 to $800,000. This estimate may change as the Company’s implementation progresses, the Company’s lease portfolio changes, and if discount rates fluctuate prior to adoption. The Company estimates that this standard will result in a material impact to our balance sheet primarily from the recognition of operating lease right of use assets and liabilities. We do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our statement of operations or cash flows.

The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by major revenue categories:

Acquisitions: The Company continually evaluates potential acquisitions of bowling entertainment centers. Acquisitions can be either business combinations or asset purchases, that strategically fit within the Company’s existing portfolio of centers as a key part of the Company’s overall growth strategy in order to expand our market share in key geographic areas, and to improve our ability to leverage our fixed costs.

2023 Business Acquisitions: For business combinations, the Company allocates the consideration transferred to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. We estimate the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using valuation techniques, such as the income, cost and market approaches. During the nine months ended April 2, 2023, the Company had ten business acquisitions in which we acquired twelve bowling entertainment centers for a total consideration of $83,454. The Company is still in the process of finalizing the acquisition date fair values. The remaining fair value estimates include working capital, intangibles, property and equipment, and capital lease assets and liabilities. For business combinations, we will continue to refine our estimates throughout the permitted measurement period, which may result in corresponding offsets to goodwill. We expect to finalize the valuations as soon as possible, but no later than one year after the acquisition dates. Fair values for acquisitions that were considered preliminary at July 3, 2022 were finalized with immaterial adjustments during the nine months ended April 2, 2023.

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocations for the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, components of consideration transferred and the transactional related expenses using the acquisition method of accounting:
