Description of Business Description of Business
Bowlero Corp., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (Bowlero Corp. and subsidiaries are referred to collectively as “we,” “our,” the “Company,” “Bowlero Corp.” or “Bowlero”) are the world’s largest operator of bowling entertainment centers.
The Company operates bowling centers under different brand names. The AMF branded centers are traditional bowling centers and the Bowlmor and 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 following summarizes the Company’s centers by country and major brand as of March 27, 2022 and June 27, 2021:

Impact of COVID-19
In mid-March of 2020, the Company temporarily suspended all operations in compliance with local, state, and federal governmental restrictions to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus and variants collectively known as COVID-19. Starting in April 2020, the Company began reopening centers and restoring operations. During the nine months ended March 27, 2022, all of our centers were open and remain open except two of our centers re-opened on September 13, 2021 and have remained open, and two centers in Canada closed on January 5, 2022 and reopened on January 31, 2022. Some centers have not operated at full capacity due to, among other factors, social distancing requirements, limited hours of operation, limitations on available offerings, and other operational restrictions. The temporary suspension of our operations and subsequent operational restrictions have had an adverse impact on the Company’s profitability and cash flows, for which the Company has taken and continues to take actions to address.
Basis of Presentation
Reverse Recapitalization: On December 15, 2021, (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the business combination agreement (the “BCA”) dated as of July 1, 2021, by and among the Old Bowlero and Isos Acquisition Corporation (“Isos”). Old Bowlero refers to Bowlero Corp. prior to the Closing Date.
Notwithstanding the legal form of the Business Combination pursuant to the BCA, the Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, Isos is treated as the acquired company and Old Bowlero is treated as the acquirer for accounting and financial statement reporting purposes.
Old Bowlero has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:
Old Bowlero’s existing stockholders have the greatest voting interest in the Company;
Old Bowlero’s existing stockholders have the ability to control decisions regarding election and removal of directors and officers of the Company;
Old Bowlero comprises the ongoing operations of the Company;
Old Bowlero’s relevant measures, such as assets, revenues, cash flows and earnings, are higher than Isos’; and
Old Bowlero’s existing senior management is the senior management of the Company.
As a result of Old Bowlero being the accounting acquirer, the financial reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by the Company subsequent to the Business Combination are prepared as if Old Bowlero is the predecessor and legal successor to the Company. The historical operations of Old Bowlero are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Old Bowlero prior to the Business Combination, (ii) the combined results of the Old Bowlero and Isos following the Business Combination on December 15, 2021, (iii) the assets and liabilities of Old Bowlero at their historical cost and (iv) the Company’s post-merger equity structure for all periods presented. The recapitalization of the number of shares of common stock and preferred stock attributable to the purchase of Bowlero Corp. in connection with the Business Combination is reflected retroactively to the earliest period presented and is utilized for calculating earnings per share in all prior periods presented. No step-up basis of intangible assets or goodwill was recorded in the Business Combination transaction consistent with the treatment of the transaction as a reverse recapitalization of Isos.
In connection with the Business Combination, Isos changed its name to Bowlero Corp. The Company’s Class A common stock is now listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol BOWL and warrants to purchase the Class A common stock are listed on the NYSE under the symbol BOWL.WS in lieu of the Isos ordinary shares and Isos’s warrants, respectively. Isos’ units automatically separated into the Isos ordinary shares and Isos’ warrants and ceased trading separately on the NYSE following the Closing Date. Prior to the Business Combination, Isos neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue. Until the Business Combination, based on Isos’ business activities, it was a shell company as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
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.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements: The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes of Bowlero Corp. as of June 27, 2021 and June 28, 2020 included in the Company’s final prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), with the SEC, on February 1, 2022.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 27, 2022 and the related condensed statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), temporary equity and stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the three and nine months ended March 27, 2022 and March 28, 2021. The results for the three and nine months ended March 27, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the current fiscal year or any other future periods.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Fiscal Year: The Company reports on a fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to June 30th with each quarter generally comprising thirteen weeks. Fiscal year 2022 is fifty-three weeks ending on July 3, 2022, and the 53rd week falls within the fourth quarter. Fiscal year 2021 contained fifty-two weeks and ended on June 27, 2021.
