NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2025
(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 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, 2024.
Biglari Holdings Inc. is a holding company owning subsidiaries engaged in a number of diverse business activities, including property and casualty insurance and reinsurance, 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 financial 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, 2025, Mr. Biglari beneficially owns shares of the Company that represent approximately
74.3
% 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, Biglari Reinsurance Ltd., Southern Oil Company and Abraxas Petroleum Corporation. 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.

Note 2. Earnings Per Share

The Company has applied the “two-class method” of computing earnings per share as prescribed in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, “
Earnings Per Share
”. (Class B shares are economically equivalent to one-fifth of a Class A share.) The equivalent Class A common stock applied for computing earnings per share excludes the proportional shares of Biglari Holdings’ stock held by the investment partnerships.
In the tabulation below is the weighted average equivalent Class A common stock for earnings per share.

Note 3.
Investments
We classify investments in fixed maturity securities at the acquisition date as available-for-sale. Realized gains and losses on disposals of investments are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividends and interest earned on investments are reported as investment income by our insurance companies. We consider investment income as a component of our aggregate insurance operating results. However, we consider investment gains and losses, whether realized or unrealized, as non-operating.
Investment gains for the second quarter and first six months of 2025 were $
2,925
and $
1,340
, respectively. Investment losses in the second quarter and first six months of 2024 were $
2,729
and $
1,016
, respectively.
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. Biglari Capital Corp. is solely owned by Mr. Biglari. Under the terms of their partnership agreements, each contribution made by the Company to the investment partnerships is subject to a rolling five year lock-up period. The lock-up period can be waived by the general partner in its sole discretion.

The carrying value of the partnership interest approximates fair value adjusted by the value of held Company stock. Fair value of our partnership interest is assessed according to our proportional ownership interest of the fair value of investments held by the investment partnerships. Unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities held by the investment partnerships affect our net earnings.

On December 31 of each year, the general partner of the investment partnerships, Biglari Capital Corp., will earn an incentive reallocation fee for the Company’s investments equal to
25
% of the net profits above an annual hurdle rate of
6
% over the previous high-water mark. Our policy is to accrue an estimated incentive fee throughout the year. 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
no
incentive reallocations accrued during the first six months of 2025 and 2024.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment reviews include determining the estimated fair values of our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The key assumptions and inputs used in such determinations may include forecasting revenues and expenses, cash flows and capital expenditures, as well as an appropriate discount rate and other inputs. Significant judgment by management is required in estimating the fair value of a reporting unit and in performing impairment reviews. Due to the inherent subjectivity and uncertainty in forecasting future cash flows and earnings over long periods of time, actual results may differ materially from the forecasts. If the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds fair value, the excess is charged to earnings as an impairment loss. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess, limited to the carrying amount of goodwill, will be charged to earnings as an impairment loss. There was
no
impairment recorded by Steak n Shake for goodwill during the first six months of 2025 or 2024. We perform our annual assessment of our recoverability of goodwill related to Western Sizzlin during the second quarter. We did
not
record an impairment for goodwill during 2025. An impairment to goodwill of $
1,000
was recorded in 2024. There was
no
impairment recorded for intangible assets during the first six months of 2025 and 2024.

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 when 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 2025 and 2024, restaurant operations recognized $
5,887
and $
5,780
, respectively, in franchise partner fees related to rental income. During the first six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, restaurant operations recognized $
11,440
and $
11,485
, 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 sell gift cards to customers which can be redeemed for retail food sales within our stores. Gift cards are recorded as deferred revenue when issued and are subsequently recorded as net sales upon redemption. Restaurant operations estimate 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.

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 2025 and 2024. 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 expense for the second quarter of 2025 was $
14,171
compared to an income tax benefit of $
14,725
for the second quarter of 2024. Income tax expense for the first six months of 2025 was $
6,263
compared to an income tax benefit of $
7,909
for the first six months of 2024. The variance in income taxes between 2025 and 2024 is attributable to taxes on income generated by the investment partnerships. Investment partnership pre-tax gains were $
58,504
during the second quarter of 2025 compared to pre-tax losses of $
79,890
during the second quarter of 2024. Investment partnership pre-tax gains were $
8,912
during the first six months of 2025 compared to pre-tax losses of $
57,905
during the first six months of 2024.

(continued)
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law on July 4, 2025. The new Act makes permanent certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and restores favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions including 100% bonus depreciation and the business interest expense limitation.
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.
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 Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Bonds:
The Company’s investments in bonds consist of both corporate and government debt. Bonds may be classified as Level l or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Related Party Transactions
Service Agreement
The Company is party to a service agreement with Biglari Enterprises LLC (“Biglari Enterprises”) under which Biglari Enterprises provides business and administrative related services to the Company. Biglari Enterprises is owned by Mr. Biglari.
The Company paid Biglari Enterprises $
5,700
in service fees during the first six months of 2025 and $
4,800
during the first six months of 2024. 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.

Business Segment Reporting
Our reportable business segments are organized in a manner that reflects how management views those business activities. Biglari Holdings’ diverse businesses are managed on an unusually decentralized basis. Our restaurant operations include Steak n Shake and Western Sizzlin. Our insurance operations include First Guard, Southern Pioneer, and Biglari Reinsurance. Our oil and gas operations include Southern Oil and Abraxas Petroleum. The Company also reports segment information for Maxim. Other business activities not specifically identified with reportable business segments are presented under corporate and other. We report our earnings from investment partnerships separately. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer who is ultimately responsible for significant capital allocation decisions, evaluating operating performance and selecting the chief executive to head each of the operating segments. The cost and expense information provided is based on the information regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. Given the varied operating segments and differences in revenue streams and cost structures, there are wide variances in the form, content, and levels of such expense information significant to the business. With respect to insurance underwriting, the chief operating decision maker considers pre-tax underwriting earnings. Typically, there are no budgeted or forecasted premiums. For most non-insurance businesses, pre-tax earnings are considered in allocating resources and capital.
A disaggregation of our consolidated data for the second quarters and first six months of 2025 and 2024 is presented in the tables which follow.

Cost of food, labor costs, and occupancy and other costs are expressed as a percentage of net sales.
General and administrative, marketing, other expenses, impairments, and depreciation are expressed as a percentage of total revenue.
Net sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2025 were $46,858 and $88,473, respectively, representing an increase of $6,043 or 14.8% and $8,923 or 11.2%, compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2024, respectively. The increase in net sales was primarily due to an increase in Steak n Shake’s same-store sales of 10.7% during the second quarter of 2025.
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 decline as we transition from company-operated units to franchise partner units.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)
Fees generated by our franchise partners were $20,150 during the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $18,149 during the second quarter of 2024.
Franchise partner fees were $37,289 and $35,907 during the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our share of franchise partner fees were higher despite fewer open units in 2025 compared to 2024. As of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, there were 174 and 182 franchise partner units, respectively. Similar to company-operated units, the increase in franchise partner revenue is primarily due to an increase in revenue at the franchise partner units.
Included in franchise partner fees were $5,887 and $5,780 of rental income during the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $11,440 and $11,485 during the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Franchise partners rent buildings and equipment from Steak n Shake.
The franchise royalties and fees generated by the traditional franchising business were $3,128 during the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $3,615 during the second quarter of 2024. Franchise royalties and fees during the first six months of 2025 were $6,617 as compared to $7,092 during the first six months of 2024. There were 100 Steak n Shake traditional units open on June 30, 2025, as compared to 120 units open on June 30, 2024. The lower unit count was the primary reason for the decrease in franchise royalties and fees during 2025 compared to 2024.
The cost of food at company-operated units during the second quarter of 2025 was $14,167 or 30.2% of net sales, as compared to $12,357 or 30.3% of net sales during the second quarter of 2024. The cost of food at company-operated units during the first six months of 2025 was $26,631 or 30.1% of net sales, as compared to $23,331 or 29.3% of net sales during the first six months of 2024. The cost of food as a percentage of net sales was relatively flat during the second quarter of 2025 compared to 2024. The increase during the first six months of 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to improvements in the quality of various products.
The labor costs at company-operated restaurants during the second quarter of 2025 were $14,020 or 29.9% of net sales, as compared to $12,992 or 31.8% of net sales in the second quarter of 2024.
Labor costs at company-operated restaurants during the first six months of 2025 were $27,460 or 31.0% of net sales, as compared to $25,536 or 32.1% of net sales in 2024. Labor costs expressed as a percentage of net sales decreased during 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to a decrease in management labor.
General and administrative expenses during the second quarter of 2025 were $12,776 or 17.7% of total revenue, as compared to $13,016 or 20.2% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2024. General and administrative expenses during the first six months of 2025 were $24,704 or 18.1% of total revenue, as compared to $24,746 or 19.6% of total revenue in the first six months of 2024. General and administrative expenses decreased during 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to a decrease in legal and professional fees.
Marketing expenses during the second quarter of 2025 were $4,865 or 6.8% of total revenue, as compared to $2,857 or 4.4% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2024. Marketing expenses during the first six months of 2025 were $8,097 or 5.9% of total revenue, as compared to $5,802 or 4.6% of total revenue in the first six months of 2024. Marketing expenses increased during 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to promotions of new products and new methods of payments.
The Company recorded $1,251 of impairment charges in the second quarter of 2025 and $1,251 and $107 in the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to underperforming stores.
Interest on obligations under leases was $2,573 during 2025 versus $2,663 during 2024.
Other income was $913 during 2025 versus $2,442 during 2024. During 2025, Steak n Shake sold one property for a gain of $1,100. During 2024, Western Sizzlin received a settlement of $450 and Steak n Shake sold three properties for a gain of $1,957.

To better convey the performance of the franchise partnership model, the table below shows the underlying sales, cost of food, labor costs, and other restaurant costs of the franchise partners.

Our oil and gas business is highly dependent on oil and natural gas prices. We did not record any impairments to our oil and gas assets during 2025. However, we may be required to record impairments of our oil and gas properties resulting from prolonged declines in oil and gas prices. It is expected that the prices of oil and gas commodities will remain volatile, which will be reflected in our financial results.

Abraxas Petroleum’s revenue remained consistent during the first six months of 2025 compared to 2024. Depletion increased in the first six months of 2025 compared to 2024 due to an increase in the depletion rate.
During the first six months of 2025, Abraxas Petroleum recorded a gain of $10,117 from selling undeveloped reserves to an unaffiliated party to conduct development activities; however, Abraxas Petroleum will not be required to fund any exploration expenditures on the undeveloped properties.

Southern Oil’s revenue remained consistent during the first six months of 2025 compared to 2024. Southern Oil repaired several nonperforming wells throughout 2024 which has increased production during 2025. However, the sales prices of crude oil were lower during 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 which offset any increase in revenue from Southern Oil’s production increases.

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.
Investment gains and losses in 2025 and 2024 were mainly derived from our investments in equity securities and included unrealized gains and losses from market price changes during the period. We believe that investment and derivative gains/losses are generally meaningless for analytical purposes in understanding our quarterly and annual results.

Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2025 was $14,171 compared to income tax benefit of $14,725 for the second quarter of 2024.

The variance in income taxes between 2025 and 2024 is attributable to taxes on income generated by the investment partnerships. Investment partnership pre-tax gains were $58,504 during the second quarter of 2025 compared to pre-tax losses of $79,890 during the second quarter of 2024. Investment partnership pre-tax gains were $8,912 during the first six months of 2025 compared to pre-tax losses of $57,905 during the first six months of 2024.

In 2025, cash from operating activities increased by $37,032 as compared to 2024. The change was primarily attributable to $35,000 of distributions from investment partnerships during 2025.
Cash used in investing activities increased during 2025 by $7,575 as compared to 2024 primarily due to a reduction in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.
Cash used in financing activities increased during 2025 by $26,087 as compared to 2024 primarily due to payments on the Company’s line of credit in 2025.

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, 2024.
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.

Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2025 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting previously identified in Part II, Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Management's Remediation Efforts
Our remediation efforts previously described in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 to address the material weaknesses mentioned are ongoing as we continue to implement and document policies, procedures, and internal controls. While we believe the steps taken to date and those planned for future implementation will improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we have not completed all remediation efforts. The material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
