The increase in revenue for the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to an increase of $12.4 million of incremental revenue associated with 31 Net New Restaurant Openings during or subsequent to the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2023. The increase in revenue was also due to an increase in Comparable Restaurant Base revenue of $8.5 million resulting in a positive Same-Store Sales Change of 6% consisting of a 4% benefit from menu price increases that were implemented subsequent to the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2023 and a 2% increase due to traffic and favorable product mix. These increases were partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in fiscal year-over-year comparable restaurant sales, which would have been reflected in our Same-Store Sales Change had we not adjusted for the misalignment in our comparable weeks resulting from fiscal year 2023 being a 53-week year, as described above.
The increase in revenue for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to an increase of $51.7 million of incremental revenue associated with 50 Net New Restaurant Openings during or subsequent to the
thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023. The increase in revenue was also due to an increase in Comparable Restaurant Base revenue of $28.9 million, resulting in a positive Same-Store Sales Change of 7%, consisting of a 5% benefit from menu price increases that were implemented subsequent to the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2023 and a 2% increase due to traffic and favorable product mix. The remaining $5.0 million of the increase was due to additional fiscal year-over-year comparable restaurant sales growth, which would have been reflected in our Same-Store Sales Change had we not adjusted for the misalignment in our comparable weeks resulting from fiscal year 2023 being a 53-week year, as described above.

The increase in food, beverage, and packaging costs for the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to the 31 Net New Restaurant Openings during or subsequent to the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2023, as well as higher protein cost.
The increase in food, beverage, and packaging costs for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to the 50 Net New Restaurant Openings during or subsequent to the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023, and higher protein cost. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in packaging costs, which were higher in the prior-year period due to a packaging supply chain disruption.
As a percentage of revenue, food, beverage, and packaging costs for both the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 remained relatively consistent compared to the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023, respectively, primarily due to an increase in revenue proportional to the increase in food, beverage, and packaging costs.

The increase in labor and related expenses for the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to the 31 Net New Restaurant Openings during or subsequent to the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2023. The increase was also driven by higher staffing expenses associated with increases in prevailing wage rates in many of our markets, partially offset by improved labor optimization. Most notably, as of April 1, 2024, California fast food wages increased as result of AB 1228.
The increase in labor and related expenses for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to the 50 Net New Restaurant Openings during or subsequent to the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023. The increase was also driven by higher staffing expenses associated with increases in prevailing wage rates in many of our markets. Most notably, as of April 1, 2024, California fast food wages increased as result of AB 1228. These increases were partially offset by a $1.8 million benefit related to refundable employee retention tax credits (“ERC”) issued as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) as well as an improvement in labor optimization. See Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further details on the ERC.
As a percentage of revenue, the decrease in labor and related expenses for the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to higher revenue and improvement in labor optimization, partially offset by wage rate increases, as discussed above, compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2023.
As a percentage of revenue, the decrease in labor and related expenses for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to higher revenue and improvement in labor optimization, partially offset by wage rate increases, as discussed above, compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.8 million benefit received during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023, related to a refundable ERC issued as part of the CARES Act.

The increase in occupancy and related expenses for the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to the 31 Net New Restaurant Openings during or subsequent to the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2023, partially offset by reduced occupancy rates across recently opened stores.
The increase in occupancy and related expenses for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to the 50 Net New Restaurant Openings during or subsequent to the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023, partially offset by reduced occupancy rates across recently opened stores.
As a percentage of revenue, occupancy and related expenses for both the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 was slightly below the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023, primarily due to higher revenue in the current period as well as reduced occupancy rates, as discussed above.

The increase in other restaurant operating costs for the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to the 31 Net New Restaurant Openings during or subsequent to the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2023. This includes increases in delivery fees, primarily related to the increase in revenue through our Marketplace Channel, credit card and online processing fees related to the increase in revenue, and repair and maintenance expenses.
The increase in other restaurant operating costs for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to the 50 Net New Restaurant Openings during or subsequent to the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023. This includes increases in delivery fees, primarily related to the increase in revenue through our Marketplace Channel, credit card and online processing fees related to the increase in revenue, and repair and maintenance expenses.
As a percentage of revenue, other restaurant operating costs for both the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 remained consistent compared to the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023, primarily due to an increase in revenue proportional to the increase in other restaurant operating costs in the current period.
The increase in general and administrative expenses for the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in spend across the Sweetgreen Support Center to support our restaurant growth, partially offset by a $1.8 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense, primarily related to the decrease in expenses associated with restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units issued prior to our IPO.
The increase in general and administrative expenses for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to a $5.1 million benefit received during the thirty-nine weeks ended June 25, 2023 from the ERC. The remaining increase was due to an increase in our investment in marketing and advertising and an increase in spend across the Sweetgreen Support Center to support our restaurant growth. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation expense primarily related to the decrease in expense associated with restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units issued prior to our IPO.
As a percentage of revenue, the decrease in general and administrative expenses for both the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to the comparatively higher revenue in the current period, partially offset by the net effect of the fluctuations noted above.

The increase in depreciation and amortization for the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to the 31 Net New Restaurant Openings during or subsequent to the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2023.
The increase in depreciation and amortization for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to the 50 Net New Restaurant Openings during or subsequent to the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023, as well as the amortization from developed technology that was placed into service during the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2023.
As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization for both the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 remained consistent compared to the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023.
The decrease in pre-opening costs for the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to 5 gross new restaurant openings during the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2024 compared to 15 gross new restaurant openings in the same quarter of the prior year.
The decrease in pre-opening costs for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to 15 gross new restaurant openings during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 compared to 37 gross new restaurant openings in the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023.
As a percentage of revenue, pre-opening costs decreased in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 compared to the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023, due to the variances noted above as well as comparatively higher revenue in the current period.

The restructuring charges for both the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2024 and September 24, 2023 is primarily related to our former Sweetgreen Support Center, which we vacated in fiscal year 2022, including continued amortization of the operating lease asset and related real estate and CAM charges.
The decrease in restructuring charges for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 is primarily related to the $4.3 million operating lease impairment expense recognized during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023, associated with our former Sweetgreen Support Center.
As a percentage of revenue, restructuring charges decreased in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 compared to the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023, due to the variances noted above as well as comparatively higher revenue in the current period.

The decrease in loss on disposal of property and equipment was due to timing of furniture, equipment and fixture replacements at multiple restaurants for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 compared to the prior year periods.
The decrease in interest income, net, was primarily due to a lower cash balance in our money market accounts during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 compared to the prior year periods.

The increase in other expense for each of the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to a change in the fair value of our contingent consideration compared to the prior year periods, which was issued as part of the Spyce acquisition in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021.
As a percentage of revenue, other expense increased during thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023, due to the variances noted above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Material Cash Requirements
To date, we have funded our operations through proceeds received from previous common stock and preferred stock issuances, our ability to obtain lending commitments and through cash flow from operations. Additionally, in November 2021, we completed our IPO, from which we received net proceeds of $384.7 million from sales of our shares of Class A common stock, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. As of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $234.6 million and $257.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, respectively. As of September 29, 2024, we had access to a $43.1 million revolver loan(s) under our 2020 Credit Agreement. As of September 29, 2024, there have been no draws on the revolving facility. Based on our current operating plan, we believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and access to available revolving loan(s), will be sufficient to fund our operating lease obligations, capital expenditures, and working capital needs for at least the next 12 months. We believe we will meet longer-term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, available cash balances, and available revolving loan(s). If we are unable to generate positive operating cash flows, additional debt and equity financings may be necessary to sustain future operations, and there can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
Our primary liquidity and capital requirements are for new restaurant development, including related to deployment of our Infinite Kitchen, initiatives to improve the team member and customer experience in our restaurants, marketing-related costs, research and development costs, working capital and general corporate needs. Additionally, during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024, we made a cash payment of approximately $3.9 million related to the Spyce milestone payment. See Note 3 for further details. We have not required significant working capital because customers generally pay using cash or credit and debit cards and, as a result, our operations do not require significant receivables. Additionally, our operations do not require significant inventories due, in part, to our use of numerous fresh ingredients. Further, we are able to sell most of our inventory items before payment is due to the supplier of such items.
Our material cash requirements primarily consist of operating lease obligations and purchase obligations. The timing and nature of these commitments are expected to have an impact on our liquidity and capital requirements in future periods. Refer to Note 7, Debt, and Note 8, Leases, in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 for additional information relating to our long-term debt and operating leases.
Purchase obligations include agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on us and that specify all significant terms. The majority of our purchase obligations relate to amounts owed for supplies within our restaurants and are due within the next twelve months.
Credit Facility
On December 14, 2020, we entered into a First Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Delayed Draw Term Loan and Security Agreement (as subsequently amended, the “2020 Credit Facility”) with Eagle Bank. The 2020 Credit Facility currently allows us to borrow up to $45.0 million in aggregate principal amount under the revolving facility, including up to $1.5 million in letters of credit. The revolving facility matures on December 13, 2024, and we expect to extend it prior to its scheduled maturity date. However, if we issue certain convertible debt or unsecured indebtedness that are permitted under the 2020 Credit Facility, then the refinanced revolving facility will mature on the earlier to occur of (i) the maturity date indicated in the previous sentence and (ii) 90 days prior to the scheduled maturity date for any portion of such permitted convertible debt or unsecured indebtedness, as applicable.
Under the 2020 Credit Facility, interest accrues on the outstanding loan balance and is payable monthly at a rate of the adjusted one-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate, plus 2.90%, with a floor on the interest rate at 3.75%. As of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no outstanding balance under the 2020 Credit Facility.
The obligations under the 2020 Credit Facility are guaranteed by our existing and future material subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our and our subsidiary guarantor’s assets. The 2020 Credit Facility also restricts our ability, and the ability of our subsidiary guarantors to, among other things, incur liens; incur additional indebtedness; transfer or dispose of assets; make acquisitions; change the nature of the business; guarantee obligations; pay dividends to shareholders or repurchase stock; and make advances, loans, or other investments. The 2020 Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, failure to pay the outstanding loans or accrued interest on the due date. Under the 2020 Credit Facility, we are required to maintain certain levels of liquidity (defined as total cash and cash equivalents on hand plus the available amount under the revolving facility), which liquidity amount must be no less than the trailing 90-day cash burn. We were in compliance with the covenants under the 2020 Credit Facility as of September 29, 2024.

Operating Activities
For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024, cash provided by operating activities increased $19.7 million compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $21.2 million increase in income after excluding non-cash items and the impact of unfavorable working capital fluctuations of $1.5 million, which primarily related to the timing of payroll and other payments in the ordinary course of business.
For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024, cash used in investing activities was $(63.2) million, a decrease of $16.2 million compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023. Investing activities for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 consisted primarily of purchases of property and equipment of $57.7 million related to 15 gross new restaurant openings (excluding tenant improvement allowances), restaurants in process, renovations, and prepayments associated with the deployment of our Infinite Kitchen and other restaurant related equipment. In addition we had cash outflow for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024 of $5.5 million related to purchases of intangible assets.
Investing activities for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023 consisted primarily of purchases of property and equipment of $74.9 million related to 37 gross new restaurant openings (excluding tenant improvement allowances), restaurants in process, renovations, and prepayments associated with the deployment of our Infinite Kitchen and other restaurants related equipment. In addition we had cash outflow for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023 of $4.5 million related to purchases of intangible assets.
Financing Activities
For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024, cash provided by financing activities increased $0.9 million compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023. This was primarily due to an increase in proceeds received from stock option exercises offset by a payment associated with the contingent consideration.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our most significant estimates and judgments involve difficult, subjective, or complex judgements made by management. Actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will be affected. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for recently adopted accounting pronouncements and recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of the date of this Quarterly Report.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have operations solely within the United States, and we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of business. The primary risks we face are commodity price risks, interest rate risk, the effects of inflation, and macroeconomic risks. There have been no material changes to our exposure to market risks as described in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of such date. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are based on assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Because of their inherent limitations, we cannot guarantee that our disclosure controls and procedures will succeed in achieving their stated objectives in all cases, that they will be complied with in all cases, or that they will prevent or detect all misstatements.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are subject to various claims, lawsuits, governmental investigations, and administrative proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any of these matters will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources. However, an increase in the number of these claims, or one or more successful claims under which we incur greater liabilities than we currently anticipate, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
None.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
Not applicable.
