Forward-looking statements reflect the Company\u2019s expectations concerning the future and are subject to significant business, economic and competitive risks, uncertainties and contingencies including, but not limited to, the Company\u2019s ability to successfully integrate and exploit the synergies of the acquisition of Smokey Bones, and the Company\u2019s ability to grow and expand sales and earnings following the acquisition. These risks, uncertainties and contingencies are difficult to predict and beyond our control, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. We refer you to the documents that the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as our reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, for a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this\u00a0press release.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <u>About Non-GAAP Projected Financial Measures<\/u><br \/>\n        <\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>This press release includes projections of changes in future EBITDA, a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (\u201cGAAP\u201d). EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense. EBITDA is not a measurement of the Company\u2019s financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of financial performance, cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that EBITDA is an important supplemental measure of its operating performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate to business performance. The Company also believes that this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors because it and similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry and provide additional information regarding growth rates on a more comparable basis than would be provided without such adjustments.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Company prepared the information included in this press release based upon available information and assumptions and estimates that it believes are reasonable. The Company cannot assure you that its estimates and assumptions will prove to be accurate. Additionally, to the extent that forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are provided, they are presented on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Investor <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>Relations:<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>ICR<br \/>Michelle Michalski<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=PjmLOkurI_s4IlyS3HIP2Y-4aMiXyCPS9_KMB2ADNGR931Kf0qReR0nXXzoCB2CbEWIkgwxkH8p2kQY1c6xHqMtuUUaPh9AVurSrP0KZAAY=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ir-fatbrands@icrinc.com<\/a><br \/>646-277-1224<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Media <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>Relations:<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Ali Lloyd<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=NJ-YX9W4vXvMKgQxiOO4CqU7MJGH_PWOeVCXfGvRvyySbPz8acL4nnkoW4ko6xveM7q_VQrzBLGFo2Hp84lFSOv2EiOzR7VRD-2HFPTBeNM=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">alloyd@fatbrands.com<\/a><br \/>435-760-6168<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"__GNW8366DE3E__IMG\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/newsroom\/ti?nf=ODkyODExMiM1ODMxNTQ0IzUwMDA3MTQyNw==\" \/><br \/>\n      <br \/>\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ml.globenewswire.com\/media\/Nzc2Njk5NTgtNmZkMC00NTNiLWJkMzktMWVkNjRlOTBiNzc2LTUwMDA3MTQyNw==\/tiny\/FAT-Brands-Inc-.png\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"mw_contactinfo\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global Franchisor Doubles Down on Polished Dining Segment LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) &#8212; FAT (Fresh.
