"2022 marked a year of robust top-line growth for The ONE Group. We delivered a 14.2% increase in total revenue, which included a 10.8% increase in comparable sales compared to 2021 and a 47.7% increase compared to 2019. In addition to strong comparable sales growth, we established an incredible pipeline of new STK and Kona Grill locations, including company-owned and asset light development. In 2022, we opened two company-owned locations, STK San Francisco and STK Dallas which are averaging approximately $350,000 in sales per week since opening, considerably higher than our investment model. On the asset light side of the business, we opened one managed STK, our third in London England, and a virtual REEF Kitchen location. These successes are a testament to the efforts of our team members who deliver exceptional and unforgettable experiences to every guest, every time," said Emanuel "Manny" Hilario, President and CEO of The ONE Group.

Hilario continued, "Our 2023 pipeline is the strongest in the Company's history as we plan to open eight to twelve new venues. We kicked off the year by opening a new redesigned Kona Grill in Columbus, OH in January which has been averaging $115,000 in sales per week since opening, above our system average during this time. This was the first Kona Grill opening since we acquired the concept in 2019, and it is a big step in what we believe will be a larger expansion of the concept moving forward. In addition, we have recently opened two more REEF Kitchen locations in Austin, Texas. Importantly, we believe we have a long runway of white space opportunities ahead as we see a total addressable market of 400 total venues including 200 STKs globally and 200 Kona Grills domestically."

*\*Comparable sales represent total U.S. food and beverage sales at owned and managed units opened for at least a full 18-months. This measure includes total revenue from our owned and managed locations. The Company monitors sales growth at its established restaurant base in addition to growth that results from restaurant acquisitions; the Company has presented comparable sales growth from 2019 to illustrate how sales at its restaurant base before the COVID-19 pandemic compare to sales as COVID-19 restrictions have eased and the Company has reopened in-person dining.*

*\*\*We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash rent expense, pre-opening expenses, non-recurring gains and losses including incremental costs related* 

------

*to COVID-19, stock-based compensation and certain transactional costs. Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Refer to the reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA in this release.*

*\*\*\*We define Restaurant Operating Profit as owned restaurant net revenue minus owned restaurant cost of sales and owned restaurant operating expenses. Restaurant Operating Profit has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Refer to the reconciliation of Operating income to Restaurant Operating Profit in this release.*

*\*\*\*\*We define Adjusted Net Income as net income before gains on CARES Act Loan forgiveness, COVID-19 costs, lease termination expenses, one-time stock-based compensation, non-recurring costs, non-cash rent during the pre-opening period and the income tax effect of any adjustments.

Refer to the reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income in this release.*

**Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results**

Total GAAP revenues increased $4.2 million, or 5.0%, to $88.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 from $84.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Total owned restaurant net revenues increased $4.5 million, or 5.6%, to $83.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 from $79.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the addition of STK San Francisco in August 2022 and STK Dallas in November 2022. Consolidated comparable sales\* decreased 3.1% from the fourth quarter of 2021 and increased 46.2% from the fourth quarter of 2019.

Management, license and incentive fee revenues decreased $0.2 million, or 4.5%, to $4.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 from $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by lower revenues in our managed properties, partially offset by the opening of a managed STK restaurant at The Gantry London hotel in London, UK.

Restaurant Operating Profit\*\*\* decreased $0.4 million, or 2.2%, to $15.9 million and represented 18.9% of Company-owned restaurant net revenues in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $16.2 million and 20.4% of Company-owned restaurant net revenues in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to consolidated higher average wage and operating costs which were subject to inflationary pressures during 2022 that affected the restaurant industry.

STK Restaurant operating profit was $11.7 million and represented 22.6% of Company-owned STK restaurant net revenues compared to 24.8% in the prior year fourth quarter. Kona Grill operating profit was $4.2 million and represented 13.1% of Company-owned Kona Grill restaurant net revenues compared to 14.9% in the prior year fourth quarter.

General and administrative costs increased $0.2 million, or 2.3%, to $8.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 from $8.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase was attributable to additional investments required ahead of growth, increased accounting and legal fees and increased stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by a decrease in performance-based variable compensation expense. In addition, the Company experienced increased travel expenses due to rising hotel and airfare costs.

Pre-opening expenses were $1.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily related to payroll, training and non-cash pre-opening rent for STK Dallas which opened in November 2022; Kona Grill Columbus which opened in January; Kona Grill restaurants in Riverton, UT and Desert Ridge, AZ; and STK restaurants in Charlotte, NC, Boston, MA, and Washington D.C which are currently under construction.

GAAP net income attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $5.1 million, or $0.15 per share, compared to $5.8 million, or $0.17 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Adjusted Net Income\*\*\*\* attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $6.5 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to $8.3 million, or $0.24 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA\*\* decreased $0.3 million, or 2.0%, to $13.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 from $13.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

**Full Year 2022 Financial Results**

Total GAAP revenues increased $39.5 million, or 14.2%, to $316.6 million in 2022 from $277.2 million in 2021.

------

Total owned restaurant net revenues increased $36.5 million, or 13.8%, to $300.9 million in 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the strong execution of our sales initiatives combined with the opening of STK San Francisco in August 2022 and STK Dallas in November 2022. Consolidated comparable sales\* increased 10.8% in 2022 and increased 47.7% from 2019.

Management, license and incentive fee revenues increased $3.0 million, or 23.5%, to $15.8 million in 2022 compared to $12.8 million in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to strong revenues at our managed restaurants in North America.

Restaurant Operating Profit\*\*\* decreased to $50.8 million and represented 16.9% of Company-owned restaurant net revenues in 2022 compared to $52.4 million and 19.8% of Company-owned restaurant net revenues in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to consolidated higher average wage and operating costs which were subject to inflationary pressures during 2022 that affected the restaurant industry.

STK Restaurant operating profit was $37.3 million and represented 21.5% of Company-owned STK restaurant net revenues compared to 24.7% in 2021. Kona Grill operating profit was $13.7 million and represented 10.8% of Company-owned Kona Grill restaurant net revenues compared to 14.4% in 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA\*\* decreased $1.4 million, or 3.4%, to $41.3 million in 2022 from $42.7 million in 2021.

**Restaurant Development**

The Company opened four venues in 2022:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Owned STK restaurant in San Francisco, California;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Owned STK restaurant in Dallas, Texas;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Licensed virtual Bao Yum in Austin, Texas; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Managed STK restaurant at The Gantry London hotel in London, United Kingdom.

The Company intends to open eight to twelve new venues in 2023, including a Kona Grill restaurant in Columbus, OH which opened in January 2023. There are currently three Company-owned STK restaurants (Charlotte, NC, Boston, MA and Washington D.C.) and two Company-owned Kona Grill restaurants (Riverton, UT and Desert Ridge, AZ) under development.

**Share Repurchase** 

On September 7, 2022, the Company announced the commencement of a share repurchase program for up to $10 million of its outstanding common stock which terminates in September 2024. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had repurchased 1.1 million shares for aggregate consideration of $7.1 million under this program. The Company purchased an additional 0.1 million shares totaling $0.7 million during the first two months of 2023.

**Credit Facility** 

In December 2022, the Company announced that it had successfully amended its existing credit facility to provide an additional $50 million delayed draw senior secured term loan to its existing $25 million term loan and $12 million revolving credit facility.

Key updates to the credit agreement include:

● Allows for a new $50 million delayed draw term facility, available to draw for up to 12 months and subject to a 1.75x Net Leverage Ratio incurrence test (as defined in the credit agreement) for permitted acquisitions, stock repurchases and new restaurant capital expenditures; and

● Allows the Company to redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire its own capital stock in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million subject to a 1.75x Net Leverage Ratio incurrence test.

The Company drew the full amount available on its delayed draw term loan in December 2022.

**Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures**

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In this press release, we also make references to the following non-GAAP financial measures: total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units, Adjusted EBITDA, Restaurant Operating Profit and Adjusted Net Income (Loss).

*Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units.* Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units represents our total revenue from our owned operations as well as the revenue reported to us with respect to sales at our managed locations, where we earn management and incentive fees at these locations. We believe that this measure represents a useful internal measure of performance as it identifies total sales associated with our brands and hospitality services that we provide. Accordingly, we include this non-GAAP measure so that investors can review financial data that management uses in evaluating performance, and we believe that it will assist the investment community in assessing performance of restaurants and other services we operate, whether or not the operation is owned by us. However, because this measure is not determined in accordance with GAAP, it is susceptible to varying calculations and not all companies calculate these measures in the same manner. As a result, this measure as presented may not be directly comparable to a similarly titled measure presented by other companies. This non-GAAP measure is presented as supplemental information and not as an alternative to any GAAP measurements. The following table includes a reconciliation of our GAAP revenue to total food and beverage sales at our owned and managed units (in thousands):

*Adjusted EBITDA.* We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash rent expense, pre-opening expenses, non-recurring gains and losses, stock-based compensation, COVID-19 related expense and certain transactional costs. Not all the aforementioned items defining Adjusted EBITDA occur in each reporting period but have been included in our definitions of terms based on our historical activity. Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Lease termination expense are costs associated with closed, abandoned and disputed locations or leases.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Non-cash rent expense is included in owned restaurant operating expenses and general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

*Restaurant Operating Profit.* We define Restaurant Operating Profit as owned restaurant net revenue minus owned restaurant cost of sales and owned restaurant operating expenses.

We believe Restaurant Operating Profit is an important component of financial results because: (i) it is a widely used metric within the restaurant industry to evaluate restaurant-level productivity, efficiency, and performance, and (ii) we use Restaurant Operating Profit as a key metric to evaluate our restaurant financial performance compared to our competitors. We use these metrics to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period, to analyze the factors and trends affecting our business and to evaluate the performance of our restaurants.

*Adjusted Net Income.* We define Adjusted Net Income as net income before gains on CARES Act Loan forgiveness, COVID-19 costs, lease termination expenses, one-time stock-based compensation, non-recurring costs, non-cash rent during the pre-opening period and the income tax effect of any adjustments.

We believe that Adjusted Net Income is an appropriate measure of operating performance, as it provides a clear picture of our operating results by eliminating certain one-time expenses that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. Adjusted Net Income is included in this press release because it is a key metric used by management, and we believe that it provides useful information facilitating performance comparisons from period to period. Adjusted Net Income has limitations as an analytical tool and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies; accordingly, you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
