Nature of Operations
Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. was organized as a Delaware corporation on May 2, 2025, and in June 2025 re-domiciled to be incorporated in Texas for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (the "IPO") and other related transactions in order to carry on the business of Black Rock Coffee Holdings, LLC ("Black Rock OpCo") and its consolidated subsidiaries (together with Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc., the "Company") as a publicly-traded entity.
The Company is a high-growth operator of guest-centric, drive-thru and lobby coffee bars offering premium caffeinated beverages and an elevated in-store experience. As of December 31, 2025, there were 181 stores operating in seven U.S. states.
Initial Public Offering and Reorganization Transactions
Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. successfully closed an IPO of 16,911,764 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $20.00 per share on September 15, 2025, which included 2,205,882 shares of Class A common stock issued pursuant to the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock. The net proceeds from the IPO aggregated to approximately $306.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses payable in connection with the offering. Shares of Class A common stock began trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "BRCB" on September 12, 2025.
In connection with the IPO, Black Rock OpCo amended and restated its existing limited liability company agreement, to among other things, (i) recapitalize all existing ownership interests in Black Rock OpCo into 43,079,227 membership units of Black Rock OpCo (" LLC Units") (before giving effect to the use of proceeds from the IPO, as described below ), (ii) appoint Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. as the sole managing member of Black Rock OpCo, and (iii) provide certain redemption rights to the owners of the LLC Units in Black Rock OpCo, exclusive of the Company (the "Continuing Equity Owners").
Simultaneously, Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. amended and restated its certificate of formation to, among other things, provide (i) for Class A common stock, with each share of Class A common stock entitling its holder to one vote per share on all matters presented to the shareholders generally; (ii) for Class B common stock, with each share of Class B common stock entitling its holder to one vote per share on all matters presented to the shareholders generally; (iii) for Class C common stock, with each share of Class C common stock entitling its holder to ten votes per share on all matters presented to the shareholders generally, until the earlier of (a) September 15, 2035, and (b) with respect to each Co-Founder ("Co-Founder" refers to each of Daniel Brand, Jeff Hernandez, Jake Spellmeyer or Bryan Pereboom), the date on which the aggregate number of shares of Class C common stock held by such Co-Founder or certain of their affiliates is less than thirty-three percent (33%) of the shares of Class C common stock held by such Co-Founder and certain of their affiliates as of the closing of the IPO, each such holders' Class C common stock will convert to fully paid non-assessable shares of Class B common stock; (iv) that shares of Class B and Class C common stock may only be held by the Continuing Equity Owners and their respective permitted transferees; and (v) for preferred stock, which can be issued by the board of directors in one or more series without shareholder approval. As a result, Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. became a holding company and the sole managing member of Black Rock OpCo and controls the business affairs of Black Rock OpCo.
Concurrently with the consummation of the IPO, an affiliate of the Company's Co-Founders purchased 3,118,938 newly issued LLC Units (and corresponding shares of the Company's Class C common stock) from Black Rock OpCo for approximately $62.4 million at a price per unit equal to $20.00 per share (the "IPO price"). Further, Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. used the net proceeds from the IPO to: (i) purchase 3,857,642 newly issued LLC Units for approximately $71.8 million directly from Black Rock OpCo at a price per unit equal to the IPO price of Class A common stock less the underwriting discount; and (ii) purchase 13,054,122 LLC Units from certain Continuing Equity Owners for approximately $242.8 million at a price per unit equal to the IPO price per share of Class A common stock less the underwriting discount.
