The Company respectfully submits the following as its responses to the Comment Letter:

 

Draft Registration Statement on Form 10-12B

 

Cover Page

 

1.We note your disclosure that you will be a controlled company following the spin-off with FAT Brands beneficially owning a to-be-determined percentage of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of your common stock. Please revise here and wherever else you discuss your controlled company status to state, if true, that FAT Brands will have the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by stockholders.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on the cover page of the Information Statement, and in “Summary of the Spin-Off—Concentration of Ownership” (page 7), “Summary of our Company and our Business—Controlled Company Exemptions” (page 30), and “Management—Controlled Company Exemptions” (page 158), to state that, as long as FAT Brands continues to control more than 50% of the total voting power of the Company’s common stock, FAT Brands will have the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to the Company’s stockholders for approval.

 

Exhibit 99.1 Information Statement

Presentation of Certain Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Metrics

Comparable Restaurant Sales, page iii

 

2.We note your disclosure that “[c]onsistent with common industry practice, we present Comparable Restaurant Sales on a calendar-adjusted basis that aligns current year sales weeks with comparable periods in the prior year, regardless of whether they belong to the same fiscal period.” Please further clarify this statement.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has removed the referenced statement from the disclosure in “About this Information Statement—Presentation of Certain Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Metrics—Key Performance Indicators—Comparable Restaurant Sales” (page iii) and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Performance Indicators—Comparable Restaurant Sales” (page 104).

 

Our Company, page 7

 

3.We note your disclosure that you are the “franchisor and operator of two category-leading casual dining restaurant concepts: Twin Peaks and Smokey Bones.” Please revise to clarify by what metric the concepts are “category-leading,” such as by revenue, sales, etc.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has removed the references to “category-leading” from the disclosure in “Summary of our Company and our Business—Our Company” (page 9), “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview” (page 102), and “Business—Our Company” (page 121).

4.We note your disclosure that you have more than 100 signed franchised units in your development pipeline. To the extent possible, please revise to quantify the anticipated timeline to bring these franchise units online. Additionally, we note that your disclosure on page 39 that you have a historical franchise commitment-to-restaurant opening conversion rate of approximately 66% for Twin Peaks restaurants. Please revise to balance your development pipeline expectations with an anticipated timeline (near term and long term) and expected conversion rate.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure in “Summary of our Company and our Business—Twin Peaks: The Ultimate Sports Lodge” (page 10) and “Business—Twin Peaks: The Ultimate Sports Lodge” (page 122) to disclose that, based on the Company’s franchise development pipeline, which continues to grow, for fiscal years 2024 to 2028, the Company believes that it and its franchisee partners will open between 10 to 12 new franchised Twin Peaks restaurants each year.

 

The Company also respectfully advises the Staff that the Company’s franchise development pipeline is continually changing, as the new franchisee partners are continuing to sign new franchise commitments for Twin Peaks restaurants. Additionally, the Company believes that the quality of such franchise commitments is getting better, which should result in higher than historical conversion rates, as the Company is selling smaller territories with fewer respective development commitments to more franchisee partners, and the Company believes that it has improved its vetting process for franchisee candidates by instituting more stringent franchisee qualifications.

 

Expansion of our Smokey Bones Restaurant Footprint, page 19

 

5.We note your disclosure regarding potential Smokey Bones expansion opportunities. Please reconcile or balance such disclosure with your current plans to convert the majority of the acquired 61 Smokey Bones restaurants into new Twin Peaks restaurants.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure in “Summary of our Company and our Business—Smokey Bones: The Masters of Meat—Smokey Bones’ Market Opportunity” (page 21) and “Business—Smokey Bones: The Masters of Meat—Smokey Bones’ Market Opportunity” (page 139) to remove disclosure relating to the expansion of the Company’s Smokey Bones restaurant system.

 

Organizational Structure, page 25

 

6.We note here and on page 73 that the diagram of your organizational structure indicates that “[p]urchasers in this offering” will own a certain percentage of Twin Hospitality Group, Inc.’s Class A Common Stock. We additionally note the disclosure on page F-8 that you are “contemplating an initial registration . . . that would involve the spin-off of the Company from the Parent and a sale of a portion of the Parent’s equity ownership in the Company to the public.” Please advise or reconcile these disclosures which suggest a sale of securities to the public with the contemplated spin-off transaction.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has updated the corporate structure chart in “Summary of our Company and our Business—Organizational Structure Following the Reorganization and the Spin-Off—Organizational Structure” (page 27) and “Reorganization—Organizational Structure Following the Reorganization and the Spin-Off—Organizational Structure” (page 84) to replace the reference to “Purchasers in this offering” with “FAT Brands Common Stockholders receiving shares in the Spin-Off”.

Additionally, the Company respectively advises the Staff that Note 1 (Organization) to the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 25, 2022 (page F-8) was prepared when the Company was previously contemplating a contemporaneous offering of securities to the public along with the contemplated spin-off transaction. Currently, the Company is considering undertaking a potential registered public offering of securities shortly after the completion of the spin-off transaction, although it does not yet have any definitive plans to do so.

 

Summary Historical and Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information and Other Data, page 31

 

7.Please tell us how you determined that removing the non-cash portion of lease expenses in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA does not substitute an individually-tailored recognition and measurement method for GAAP, or remove the adjustment. Refer to Question 100.04 of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (C&DI’s). Additionally, pre-opening expenses appear to represent normal operating expenses necessary to operate your business, and therefore the adjustment is not consistent with the guidance in Question 100.01 of the Non-GAAP C&DI’s. Please revise.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the Company believes that, with respect to its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, the adjustment for the non-cash portion of lease expenses, which represents the difference between cash rent payments and the recognition of straight-line rent expense recognized over the lease term, is appropriate and common in the restaurant sector, and the Company notes that this adjustment will be an increase or decrease as the lease periods progress. The Company has considered the guidance in Question 100.04 of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations and believes that this adjustment complies with Rule 100(b) of Regulation G as it does not cause the presentation of the non-GAAP measure to be misleading. The Company believes that this adjustment is appropriate as it represents a non-cash expense similar to depreciation and stock-based compensation, which are also excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

 

The Company also notes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that adjust for the effects of straight-line rent is a common practice among the Company’s peer group (including publicly traded restaurant companies) to supplement, but not to replace, the presentation of net income (loss) prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

In light of the foregoing, Company management does not believe that the Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA substitutes an individually-tailored revenue recognition and measurement method for those under GAAP in violation of Rule 100(b) of Regulation G (i.e., the Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA does not contain an untrue statement of material fact, and does not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA not misleading, particularly because the Company is providing a transparent reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.

Additionally, the Company respectfully advises the staff that it believes the adjustment for pre-opening expenses, which includes labor costs for new employees (e.g., trainees), such as the related hourly wages, payroll taxes and benefits, travel expenses for trainees and trainers, and recruitment fees for the training period, is appropriate. The amount of pre-opening expenses in any given period could vary in amount and frequency as such expenses are driven by the number and timing of new restaurant openings, which also vary between periods.

 

As it relates to the guidance in Question 100.01 of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, the Company does consider pre-opening costs to be normal, recurring, cash operating expenses necessary to operate its business; however, the Company does not believe that excluding these items results in a misleading measure of its operating performance. The Company’s GAAP financial measures, which include pre-opening expenses, can be used to evaluate its overall financial performance. However, to supplement the Company’s GAAP financial measures, which are subject to the variability of costs associated with new restaurant openings, the Company provides certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude pre-opening costs, and also provides a transparent reconciliation of the applicable GAAP financial measure to such non-GAAP financial measure, which specifically shows the pre-opening costs as a separate reconciling item. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to stakeholders and investors regarding certain financial and business trends with respect to the Company’s financial condition and operating results related to its existing restaurants.

 

The Company also notes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that adjust for the effects of pre-opening expense is a common practice among the Company’s peer group (including publicly traded restaurant companies) to supplement, but not to replace, the presentation of net income (loss) prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

Company management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, including the adjustments to exclude non-cash lease expenses and pre-opening expenses, complies with Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K and Regulation G, including Rule 100(b) thereof. In presenting Adjusted EBITDA in the Information Statement, the Company:

 

presents net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP) with equal or greater prominence;

 

discloses the reasons why Company management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding the Company’s operating performance, which is intended to provide investors with comparable non-GAAP financial measures to those of the Company’s public peers in the restaurant sector;

 

specifically states that Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental performance measure that should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP; and

 

provides a detailed transparent reconciliation that quantifies each adjustment made to net income (loss) in calculating Adjusted EBITDA in a manner consistent with Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company acknowledges the significance of the adjustments to exclude non-cash lease expenses and pre-opening expenses in its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, and, as such, the Company has revised the disclosure in “About this Information Statement—Presentation of Certain Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Metrics—Non-GAAP Financial Metrics—Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin” (page iv), footnote (4) to the tables in “Summary Historical Consolidated and Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information and Other Data” (page 34), “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Performance Indicators—Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin” (page 104), and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Non-GAAP Financial Metrics—Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin” (page 111) to clarify, emphasize, and add additional details regarding, such adjustments.

8.Please expand your disclosure regarding the limitations on the usefulness of the non-GAAP measure Restaurant-level EBITDA to emphasize that the excluded costs (i.e., general and administrative expenses and pre-opening expenses) are essential to support the operation and development of your restaurants.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure in “Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Business Operations—We have experienced and continue to experience inflationary conditions with respect to the cost for food, labor, construction and utilities, and we may not be able to increase prices or implement operational improvements sufficient to fully offset inflationary pressures on such costs, which may adversely impact our revenues and results of operations” (pages 46 – 47), “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Factors Affecting our Performance—Commodity Pricing” (page 103), “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Factors Affecting our Performance—Labor Costs” (page 104), and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Effects of Inflation” (page 119), to include additional disclosure regarding (i) the impact of inflation on the Company’s operations in recent years, and (ii) the Company’s attempts to offset such inflationary pressures through menu price increases and other measures to increase operational efficiencies, and whether such increases and measures have been successful.
