Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation includes statements that are, or may deemed to be, forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms "believes," "estimates," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "may," "will" or "should" or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this presentation and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, operating leverage strategies, estimated expense reductions, EBITDA breakeven points and the industry in which we operate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. In addition, even if results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. As a result, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statement, including, without limitation, statements relating to the impact on our business and operations of the global spread of the novel coronavirus outbreak. The following listing represents some, but not necessarily all, of the factors that may cause actual results to differ from those anticipated or predicted: the uncertain and unprecedented impact of the coronavirus on our business and operations and the related impact on our liquidity needs; our ability to satisfy covenant requirements under our revolving credit facility; the duration of government-mandated and voluntary shutdowns; the speed with which our stores safely can be reopened and the level of customer demand following re-opening; the economic impact of the coronavirus and related disruptions on the communities we serve; our overall level of indebtedness; our ability to open new stores and operate them profitably; our ability to achieve our targeted cash-on-cash return, first year store revenues, net development costs or store operating income before depreciation and amortization margin for new store openings; changes in consumer preferences, general economic conditions or consumer discretionary spending; the effect of competition in our industry; potential fluctuations in our quarterly operating results due to seasonality and other factors; the impact of potential fluctuations in the availability and cost of food and other supplies; the impact of instances of food-borne illness and outbreaks of disease; the impact of federal, state or local government regulations relating to our entertainment, games and attractions, personnel or the sale of food or alcoholic beverages; legislative or regulatory changes; the continued service of key management personnel; our ability to attract, motivate and retain qualified personnel; the impact of litigation; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; changes in general economic conditions or conditions in securities markets or the banking industry; a materially adverse change in our financial condition; adverse local conditions, events, terrorist attacks, weather and natural disasters; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, geopolitical and technological factors affecting operations, pricing and services. Any forward-looking statements that we make in this presentation speak only as of the date of such statements, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is defined as a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), balance sheets or statements of cash flow of the company. The Company has provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the appropriate GAAP measures in the Appendix to this presentation. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, loss on debt retirement, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is a common performance measure, which allows investors to compare operating performance across companies and industries. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes that such financial measure, when viewed with the Company's results of operations in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), provides additional information to investors about certain expenses, which vary from period to period and do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of the current underlying business of our stores and therefore complicate comparison of the underlying business between periods. We believe that Store Operating Income Before Depreciation & Amortization is another useful measure in evaluating our operating performance because it removes the impact of general and administrative expenses, which are not incurred at the store-level, and the costs of opening new stores, which are non-recurring at the store level, and thereby enables the comparability of the operating performance of our stores for the periods presented. Discretionary Free Cash Flow is presented because management believes it is useful to investors and equity analysts as a performance measure. Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC") is presented because management believes it provides a measure of efficiency and effectiveness of our use of capital, and believes investors can utilize this metric to compare the Company's efficiency and effectiveness of capital deployment to that of our competitors. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Store Operating Income Before Depreciation & Amortization, Discretionary Free Cash Flow and ROIC are used by investors as supplemental measures to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in the entertainment and dining industry; you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of results as reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flows from operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies and may differ from similarly titled measures that we have presented in the past.
