NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022
(dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
Note 1.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Biglari Holdings Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods have been included and consist only of normal recurring adjustments. The results for the interim periods shown are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Biglari Holdings is a holding company owning subsidiaries engaged in a number of diverse business activities, including property and casualty insurance, licensing and media, restaurants, and oil and gas. The Company’s largest operating subsidiaries are involved in the franchising and operating of restaurants. Biglari Holdings is founded and led by Sardar Biglari, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
Biglari Holdings’ management system combines decentralized operations with centralized finance decision-making. Operating decisions for the various business units are made by their respective managers. All major investment and capital allocation decisions are made for the Company and its subsidiaries by Mr. Biglari.
As of June 30, 2022, Mr. Biglari beneficially owns shares of the Company that represent approximately
66.3
% of the economic interest and approximately
70.4
% of the voting interest.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Steak n Shake Inc., Western Sizzlin Corporation, First Guard Insurance Company, Maxim Inc., Southern Pioneer Property & Casualty Insurance Company, and Southern Oil Company. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Note 2.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The shares of Company stock attributable to our limited partner interest in The Lion Fund, L.P. and The Lion Fund II, L.P. (collectively, the “investment partnerships”) — based on our proportional ownership during this period — are considered treasury stock on the consolidated balance sheet and thereby deemed not to be included in the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding. However, these shares are legally outstanding.
On June 8, 2022, The Lion Fund II, L.P. transferred
83,465
shares of Biglari Holdings’ Class A common stock and
890,272
shares of Biglari Holdings’ Class B common stock to The Lion Fund, L.P.
The following table presents shares authorized, issued and outstanding on June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

We classify investments in fixed maturity securities at the acquisition date as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity and re-evaluate the classification at each balance sheet date. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost, reflecting the ability and intent to hold the securities to maturity. Realized gains and losses on disposals of investments are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividends earned on investments are reported as investment income by our insurance companies. We consider investment income as a component of our aggregate insurance operating result. However, we consider investment gains and losses, whether realized or unrealized, as non-operating.
Investment losses for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 were $
3,560
and $
3,335
, respectively. Investment losses in the second quarter of 2021 were $
1,150
and investment gains in the first six months of 2021 were $
1,931
.
Note 4.
Investment Partnerships
The Company reports on the limited partnership interests in investment partnerships under the equity method of accounting. We record our proportional share of equity in the investment partnerships but exclude Company common stock held by said partnerships. The Company’s pro-rata share of its common stock held by the investment partnerships is recorded as treasury stock even though these shares are legally outstanding. The Company records gains/losses from investment partnerships (inclusive of the investment partnerships’ unrealized gains and losses on their securities) in the consolidated statements of earnings based on our carrying value of these partnerships. The fair value is calculated net of the general partner’s accrued incentive fees. Gains and losses on Company common stock included in the earnings of these partnerships are eliminated because they are recorded as treasury stock.
Biglari Capital Corp. is the general partner of the investment partnerships and is an entity solely owned by Mr. Biglari.

The total incentive reallocation from Biglari Holdings to Biglari Capital Corp. includes gains on the Company’s common stock. Gains and losses on the Company’s common stock and the related incentive reallocations are eliminated in our financial statements.
There were

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill consists of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in connection with business acquisitions.
A reconciliation of the change in the carrying value of goodwill is as follows.

We evaluate goodwill and any indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Goodwill impairment occurs when the estimated fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value. GAAP allows entities testing for impairment the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of a reporting unit for the goodwill impairment test. We use both qualitative and quantitative assessments. The valuation methodology and underlying financial information included in our quantitative determination of fair value require significant management judgments. We use both market and income approaches to derive fair value of reporting units utilizing a quantitative assessment. The judgments in these two approaches include, but are not limited to, comparable market multiples, long-term projections of future financial performance, and the selection of appropriate discount rates used to determine the present value of future cash flows. Changes in such estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different results.
No
impairment was recorded in the first six months of 2022 or 2021. Western Sizzlin has experienced a decline in its franchised units for several years. If Western Sizzlin’s franchised units continue to decline, an impairment of its goodwill may be necessary.

Net Sales
Net sales are composed of retail sales of food through company-operated stores. Company-operated store revenues are recognized, net of discounts and sales taxes, when our obligation to perform is satisfied at the point of sale. Sales taxes related to these sales are collected from customers and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority and are not reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of earnings as revenue.

Franchise Partner Fees
Franchise partner fees are composed of up to
15
% of sales as well as
50
% of profits. We are therefore fully affected by the operating results of the business, unlike in a traditional franchising arrangement, where the franchisor obtains a royalty fee based on sales only. We generate most of our revenue from our share of the franchise partners’ profits. An initial franchise fee of
ten
thousand dollars is recognized during the year the operator becomes a franchise partner. The Company recognizes franchise partner fees monthly as underlying restaurant sales occur.
The Company leases or subleases property and equipment to franchise partners under lease arrangements. Both real estate and equipment rental payments are charged to franchise partners and are recognized in accordance with ASC 842, “
Leases
”. During the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, restaurant operations recognized $
5,057
and $
3,734
, respectively, in franchise partner fees related to rental income. During the first six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, restaurant operations recognized $
9,831
and $
6,634
, respectively, in franchise partner fees related to rental income.
Franchise Royalties and Fees
Franchise royalties and fees from Steak n Shake and Western Sizzlin franchisees are based upon a percentage of sales of the franchise restaurant and are recognized as earned. Franchise royalties are billed on a monthly basis. Initial franchise fees when a new restaurant opens or at the start of a new franchise term are recorded as deferred revenue when received and recognized as revenue over the term of the franchise agreement.
Other Revenue
Restaurant operations sells gift cards to customers which can be redeemed for retail food sales within our stores. Gift cards are recorded as a liability when issued and are subsequently recorded as net sales upon redemption. Restaurant operations estimates breakage related to gift cards when the likelihood of redemption is remote. This estimate utilizes historical trends based on the vintage of the gift card. Breakage on gift cards is recorded as other revenue in proportion to the rate of gift card redemptions by vintage.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Accumulated other comprehensive income decreased $

and increased $
115
during the second quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the first six months of 2022, accumulated other comprehensive income decreased by $
1,252
and decreased by $
329
in the first six months of 2021. There were
no
reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings during the first six months of 2022 and 2021. All changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss were due to foreign currency translation adjustments.
Note 12.
Income Taxes
In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company used an estimated annual effective tax rate for the first six months of 2022 and a discrete effective tax rate method based on statutory tax rates for the first six months of 2021. Our periodic effective income tax rate is affected by the relative mix of pre-tax earnings or losses and underlying income tax rates applicable to the various taxing jurisdictions.
Income tax benefit for the second quarter of 2022 was $
22,709
compared to an income tax benefit of $
6,198
for the second quarter of 2021. Income tax benefit for the first six months of 2022 was $
22,880
compared to an income tax expense of $
15,818
for the first six months of 2021. The variance in income taxes between 2022 and 2021 is attributable to taxes on income generated by the investment partnerships. Investment partnership pre-tax losses were $
111,902
during the first six months of 2022 compared to pre-tax gains of $
47,575
during the first six months of 2021.
Note 13.
Commitments and Contingencies
We are involved in various legal proceedings and have certain unresolved claims pending. We believe, based on examination of these matters and experiences to date, that the ultimate liability, if any, in excess of amounts already provided in our consolidated financial statements is not likely to have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
Note 14.
Fair Value of Financial Assets
The fair values of substantially all of our financial instruments were measured using market or income approaches. Considerable judgment may be required in interpreting market data used to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the fair values presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in an actual current market exchange. The use of alternative market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.
13
Table of Contents
Note 14. Fair Value of Financial Assets
(continued)
The hierarchy for measuring fair value consists of Levels 1 through 3, which are described below.
•
Level 1 – Inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities exchanged in active markets.
•
Level 2 – Inputs include directly or indirectly observable inputs (other than Level 1 inputs) such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities exchanged in active or inactive markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities exchanged in inactive markets; other inputs that may be considered in fair value determinations of the assets or liabilities, such as interest rates and yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Pricing evaluations generally reflect discounted expected future cash flows, which incorporate yield curves for instruments with similar characteristics, such as credit ratings, estimated durations and yields for other instruments of the issuer or entities in the same industry sector.
•
Level 3 – Inputs include unobservable inputs used in the measurement of assets and liabilities. Management is required to use its own assumptions regarding unobservable inputs because there is little, if any, market activity in the assets or liabilities and we may be unable to corroborate the related observable inputs. Unobservable inputs require management to make certain projections and assumptions about the information that would be used by market participants in pricing assets or liabilities.
The following methods and assumptions were used to determine the fair value of each class of the following assets recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets:
Cash equivalents:
Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds which are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Equity securities:
The Company’s investments in equity securities are classified as Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Bonds:
The Company’s investments in bonds consist of both corporate and government debt. Bonds are classified as Level l or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Non-qualified deferred compensation plan investments:
The assets of the non-qualified plan are set up in a rabbi trust. They represent mutual funds and publicly traded securities, each of which are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative instruments:
Options related to equity securities are marked to market each reporting period and are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the instrument.

Related Party Transactions
Service Agreement
The Company is party to a service agreement with Biglari Enterprises LLC and Biglari Capital Corp. (collectively, the “Biglari Entities”) under which the Biglari Entities provide business and administrative related services to the Company. The Biglari Entities are owned by Mr. Biglari. The service agreement has a
five-year
term, effective on October 1, 2017.
The Company paid Biglari Enterprises $
4,200
in service fees during the first six months of 2022 and 2021. The service agreement does not alter the hurdle rate connected with the incentive reallocation paid to Biglari Capital Corp.
Incentive Agreement
The Incentive Agreement establishes a performance-based annual incentive payment for Mr. Biglari contingent upon the growth in adjusted equity in each year attributable to our operating businesses. In order for Mr. Biglari to receive any incentive, our operating businesses must achieve an annual increase in shareholders’ equity in excess of
6
% (the “Hurdle Rate”) above the previous highest level (the “High Water Mark”). Mr. Biglari will receive
25
% of any incremental book value created above the High Water Mark plus the Hurdle Rate. In any year in which book value declines, our operating businesses must completely recover their deficit from the previous High Water Mark, along with attaining the Hurdle Rate, before Mr. Biglari becomes eligible to receive any further incentive payment.

Business Segment Reporting
Our reportable business segments are organized in a manner that reflects how management views those business activities. Our restaurant operations include Steak n Shake and Western Sizzlin. Our insurance operations include First Guard and Southern Pioneer. The Company also reports segment information for Maxim and Southern Oil. Other business activities not specifically identified with reportable business segments are presented in corporate. We report our earnings from investment partnerships separate from our corporate expenses. We assess and measure segment operating results based on segment earnings as disclosed below. Segment earnings from operations are neither necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements, nor synonymous with cash flow from operations. The tabular information that follows shows data of our reportable segments reconciled to amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
A disaggregation of our consolidated data for the second quarters and first six months of 2022 and 2021 is presented in the tables which follow.

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, caused governments to impose restrictive measures to contain its spread. The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected our restaurant operations and financial results. Our restaurants were required to close their dining rooms during the first quarter of 2020. The majority of Steak n Shake’s dining rooms were reopened during 2021, and in doing so a self-service model has been implemented.
Net sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 were $37,681 and $75,897, respectively, representing a decrease of $11,722 or 23.7% and $28,456 or 27.3%, compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively. The decrease in revenue of company-owned restaurants is primarily due to the shift of company units to franchise partner units. For company-operated units, sales to the end customer are recorded as revenue generated by the Company, but for franchise partner units, only our share of the restaurant’s profits, along with certain fees, are recorded as revenue. Because we derive most of our revenue from our share of the profits, revenue will continue to decline as we transition from company-operated units to franchise partner units.

(continued)
Franchise partner fees were $16,425 during the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $12,383 during the second quarter of 2021.
Franchise partner fees were $32,049 and $20,236 during the first six months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, there were 177 franchise partner units, compared to 131 franchise partner units as of June 30, 2021. For a franchise partner to be awarded a restaurant, he or she must demonstrate the gold standard in service.
The franchise royalties and fees generated by the traditional franchising business were $5,237 during the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $4,594 during the second quarter of 2021. Franchise royalties and fees during the first six months of 2022 were $10,383 compared to $9,729 during the first six months of 2021.
The cost of food during the second quarter and first six months of 2022 was $11,365, or 30.2% of net sales, and $22,325, or 29.4% of net sales, respectively, as compared to $14,727, or 29.8% of net sales, and $30,281, or 29.0% of net sales, during the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively. The increase in cost of food as a percentage of net sales during 2022 compared to 2021 was attributable to higher commodity costs for Western Sizzlin. Steak n Shake’s cost of food as a percentage of net sales was unchanged.
Restaurant operating costs during the second quarter of 2022 were $20,350, or 54.0% of net sales, as compared to $22,058, or 44.6% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2021.
Restaurant operating costs during the first six months of 2022 were $40,382, or 53.2% of net sales, as compared to $47,255, or 45.3% of net sales, in the first six months of 2021, respectively. The increase in restaurant operating costs as a percentage of net sales during 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily related to higher labor costs.
General and administrative costs during the second quarter and first six months of 2022 were $10,121 and $18,771, respectively, compared to $10,481 and $18,161 in the second quarter and first six months of 2021. The decrease in expenses during the second quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily because of lower legal and professional fees.
Marketing expenses during the second quarter and first six months of 2022 were $3,087 and $6,831, respectively, as compared $3,287 and $7,910 during the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively.
The Company recorded impairment charges of $20 in the second quarter and first six months of 2022. Impairment charges were $261 and $559 in the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively. Impairments during 2021 are related to underperforming stores.

Investment partnership gains include gains/losses from changes in market values of underlying investments and dividends earned by the partnerships. Dividend income has a lower effective tax rate than income from capital gains. These gains and losses have caused and will continue to cause significant volatility in our periodic earnings.
The investment partnerships hold the Company’s common stock as investments. The Company’s pro-rata share of its common stock held by the investment partnerships is recorded as treasury stock even though these shares are legally outstanding. Gains and losses on Company common stock included in the earnings of the partnerships are eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial results.

Steak n Shake’s term loan was scheduled to mature on March 19, 2021. The Company repaid Steak n Shake’s outstanding balance in full on February 19, 2021.
Corporate and Other
Corporate expenses exclude the activities of the restaurant, insurance, brand licensing, and oil and gas businesses. Corporate and other net losses during the second quarter and first six months of 2022 were relatively flat compared to the same period in 2021.
Income Taxes
Income tax benefit for the second quarter of 2022 was $22,709 compared to $6,198 for the second quarter of 2021. Income tax benefit for the first six months of 2022 was $22,880 compared to an income tax expense of $15,818 for the first six months of 2021. The variance in income taxes between 2022 and 2021 is attributable to taxes on income generated by the investment partnerships. Investment partnership pre-tax losses were $111,902 during the first six months of 2022 compared to pre-tax gains of $47,575 during the first six months of 2021.

Cash provided by operating activities was $34,204 during 2022 compared to $187,208 in 2021. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is mainly attributable to distributions from investment partnerships
of $4,500 f
or 2022 and $158,070 for 2021. The distributions during 2021 were primarily used to repay Steak n Shake’s debt.
Cash used in investing activities during 2022 was $32,819 compared to $32,839 in 2021. Capital expenditures were lower during 2022 by $10,425 compared to 2021 as Steak n Shake incurred higher capital expenditures during 2021 for its transition to a self-service model. The lower capital expenditures were primarily offset by higher purchases of limited partner interests of $14,586 during 2022.
Cash used in financing activities was $3,134 in 2022 compared to $153,136 in 2021. The Company repaid Steak n Shake’s debt during 2021.
We intend to meet the working capital needs of our operating subsidiaries principally through anticipated cash flows generated from operations and cash on hand. We continually review available financing alternatives.
Steak n Shake Credit Facility
On March 19, 2014, Steak n Shake and its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement which provided for a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $220,000. The term loan was scheduled to mature on March 19, 2021. The Company repaid the balance of Steak n Shake’s term facility on February 19, 2021.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)
Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain accounting policies require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized in our consolidated financial statements from such estimates are necessarily based on numerous assumptions involving varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty. Accordingly, the amounts currently reflected in our consolidated financial statements will likely increase or decrease in the future as additional information becomes available. There have been no material changes to critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
No recently issued accounting pronouncements were applicable for this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In general, forward-looking statements include estimates of future revenues, cash flows, capital expenditures, or other financial items, and assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations regarding future events and use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “may,” and other similar terminology. A forward-looking statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances, and those future events or circumstances may not occur. Investors should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are all based on currently available operating, financial, and competitive information and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Our actual future results and trends may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A, Risk Factors of our annual report on Form 10-K and Item 1A of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise them, except as may be required by law.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The majority of our investments are conducted through investment partnerships which generally hold common stocks. We also hold marketable securities directly. Through investment partnerships we hold concentrated positions. A significant decline in the general stock market or in the prices of major investments may produce a large net loss and decrease in our consolidated shareholders’ equity. Decreases in values of equity investments can have a materially adverse effect on our earnings and on consolidated shareholders’ equity.
We prefer to hold equity investments for very long periods of time so we are not troubled by short-term price volatility with respect to our investments. Market prices for equity securities are subject to fluctuation. Consequently, the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in the market price of our investments would result in a respective increase or decrease in the carrying value of our investments of $22,352 along with a corresponding change in shareholders’ equity of approximately 3%.
We have had minimal exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the first six months of 2022 and 2021.
Southern Oil’s business is fundamentally a commodity business. This means Southern Oil’s operations and earnings may be significantly affected by changes in oil and gas prices. Such commodity prices depend on local, regional and global events or conditions that affect supply and demand for oil and gas. Any material decline in crude oil or natural gas prices could have a material adverse effect on Southern Oil’s operations.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), our Chief Executive Officer and Controller have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
