NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2022
(dollars in thousands, except share and per share
data)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of
Biglari Holdings Inc. have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our
opinion, all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the
results of the interim periods have been included and consist only
of normal recurring adjustments. The results for the interim
periods shown are not necessarily indicative of results for the
entire fiscal year. The financial statements contained herein
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Biglari Holdings is a holding company owning subsidiaries engaged
in a number of diverse business activities, including property and
casualty insurance, licensing and media, restaurants, and oil and
gas. The Company’s largest operating subsidiaries are involved in
the franchising and operating of restaurants. Biglari Holdings is
founded and led by Sardar Biglari, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company.
Biglari Holdings’ management system combines decentralized
operations with centralized finance decision-making. Operating
decisions for the various business units are made by their
respective managers. All major investment and capital allocation
decisions are made for the Company and its subsidiaries by Mr.
Biglari.
As of March 31, 2022, Mr. Biglari beneficially owns shares of
the Company that represent approximately 66.3% of the economic
interest and approximately 70.4% of the voting
interest.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Steak n Shake
Inc., Western Sizzlin Corporation, First Guard Insurance Company,
Maxim Inc., Southern Pioneer Property & Casualty Insurance
Company, and Southern Oil Company. Intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Note 2. Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the year. The shares of Company
stock attributable to our limited partner interest in The Lion
Fund, L.P. and The Lion Fund II, L.P. (collectively, the
“investment partnerships”) — based on our proportional ownership
during this period — are considered treasury stock on the
consolidated balance sheet and thereby deemed not to be included in
the calculation of weighted average common shares
outstanding. However, these shares are legally
outstanding.
The following table presents shares authorized, issued and
outstanding on March 31, 2022 and December 31,
2021.

Note 2. Earnings Per Share
(continued)
The Company has applied the “two-class method” of computing
earnings per share as prescribed in Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) 260, “Earnings
Per Share”.
The equivalent Class A common stock applied for computing earnings
per share excludes the proportional shares of Biglari Holdings’
stock held by the investment partnerships. In the tabulation below
is the equivalent Class A common stock for earnings per share.
There are no dilutive securities outstanding.

We classify investments in fixed maturity securities at the
acquisition date as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity
and re-evaluate the classification at each balance sheet date.
Securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized
cost, reflecting the ability and intent to hold the securities to
maturity. Realized gains and losses on disposals of investments are
determined on a specific identification basis. Dividends earned on
investments are reported as investment income by our insurance
companies. We consider investment income as a component of our
aggregate insurance operating result. However, we consider
investment gains and losses, whether realized or unrealized, as
non-operating.
Investment gains for the first quarter of 2022 and 2021 were $225
and $3,081, respectively.
Note 4. Investment Partnerships
The Company reports on the limited partnership interests in
investment partnerships under the equity method of
accounting. We record our proportional share of equity in the
investment partnerships but exclude Company common stock held by
said partnerships. The Company’s pro-rata share of its common
stock held by the investment partnerships is recorded as treasury
stock even though these shares are legally outstanding. The
Company records gains/losses from investment partnerships
(inclusive of the investment partnerships’ unrealized gains and
losses on their securities) in the consolidated statements of
earnings based on our carrying value of these
partnerships. The fair value is calculated net of the general
partner’s accrued incentive fees. Gains and losses on Company
common stock included in the earnings of these partnerships are
eliminated because they are recorded as treasury
stock.
Biglari Capital Corp. is the general partner of the investment
partnerships and is an entity solely owned by Mr.
Biglari.
The fair value and adjustment for Company common stock held by the
investment partnerships to determine the carrying value of our
partnership interest are presented below.

The carrying value of the partnership interest approximates fair
value adjusted by the value of held Company stock. Fair value
of our partnership interest is assessed according to our
proportional ownership interest of the fair value of investments
held by the investment partnerships. Unrealized gains and losses on
marketable securities held by the investment partnerships affect
our net earnings.

On December 31 of each year, the general partner of the
investment partnerships, Biglari Capital Corp., will earn an
incentive reallocation fee for the Company’s investments equal to
25% of the net profits above an annual hurdle rate of 6% over the
previous high-water mark. Our policy is to accrue an estimated
incentive fee throughout the year. The total incentive reallocation
from Biglari Holdings to Biglari Capital Corp. includes gains on
the Company’s common stock. Gains and losses on the Company’s
common stock and the related incentive reallocations are eliminated
in our financial statements.
There were no incentive reallocations from Biglari Holdings to
Biglari Capital Corp. during the first quarters of 2022 and
2021.

Depletion expense related to oil and gas properties was $1,380 and
$2,244 during the first quarter of 2022 and 2021,
respectively.
The Company recorded an impairment to restaurant long-lived assets
of $298 in the first quarter of 2021 related to underperforming
stores. The fair value of the long-lived assets was determined
based on Level 3 inputs using a discounted cash flow model and
quoted prices for the properties. There were no impairments in
2022.
Note 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill consists of the excess of the purchase price over the fair
value of the net assets acquired in connection with business
acquisitions.

We evaluate goodwill and any indefinite-lived intangible assets for
impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate
impairment may have occurred. Goodwill impairment occurs when the
estimated fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value.
GAAP allows entities testing for impairment the option of
performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair
value of a reporting unit for the goodwill impairment test. We use
both qualitative and quantitative assessments. The valuation
methodology and underlying financial information included in our
quantitative determination of fair value require significant
management judgments. We use both market and income approaches to
derive fair value of reporting units utilizing a quantitative
assessment. The judgments in these two approaches include, but are
not limited to, comparable market multiples, long-term projections
of future financial performance, and the selection of appropriate
discount rates used to determine the present value of future cash
flows. Changes in such estimates or the application of alternative
assumptions could produce significantly different results.
No impairment was recorded in the first quarter of 2022 or 2021.
Western Sizzlin has experienced a decline in its franchised units
for several years. If Western Sizzlin’s franchised units continue
to decline, an impairment of its goodwill may be
necessary.

Net Sales
Net sales are composed of retail sales of food through
company-operated stores. Company-operated store revenues are
recognized, net of discounts and sales taxes, when our obligation
to perform is satisfied at the point of sale. Sales taxes related
to these sales are collected from customers and remitted to the
appropriate taxing authority and are not reflected in the Company’s
consolidated statements of earnings as revenue.
Franchise Partner Fees
Franchise partner fees are composed of up to 15% of sales as well
as 50% of profits. We are therefore fully affected by the operating
results of the business, unlike in a traditional franchising
arrangement, where the franchisor obtains a royalty fee based on
sales only. We generate most of our revenue from our share of the
franchise partners’ profits. An initial franchise fee of ten
thousand dollars is recognized when the operator becomes a
franchise partner. The Company recognizes franchise partner fees
monthly as underlying restaurant sales occur.
Note 7. Restaurant Operations Revenues
(continued)
The Company leases or subleases property and equipment to franchise
partners under lease arrangements. Both real estate and equipment
rental payments are charged to franchise partners and are
recognized in accordance with ASC 842, “Leases”.
During the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, restaurant operations
recognized $4,774 and $2,900, respectively, in franchise partner
fees related to rental income.
Franchise Royalties and Fees
Franchise royalties and fees from Steak n Shake and Western Sizzlin
franchisees are based upon a percentage of sales of the franchise
restaurant and are recognized as earned. Franchise royalties are
billed on a monthly basis. Initial franchise fees when a new
restaurant opens or at the start of a new franchise term are
recorded as deferred revenue when received and recognized as
revenue over the term of the franchise agreement.
Other Revenue
Restaurant operations sells gift cards to customers which can be
redeemed for retail food sales within our stores. Gift cards are
recorded as a liability when issued and are subsequently recorded
as net sales upon redemption. Restaurant operations estimates
breakage related to gift cards when the likelihood of redemption is
remote. This estimate utilizes historical trends based on the
vintage of the gift card. Breakage on gift cards is recorded as
other revenue in proportion to the rate of gift card redemptions by
vintage.

Note 11. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Accumulated other comprehensive income decreased $231 and $444
during the first quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. There
were no reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss
to earnings during the first quarters of 2022 and 2021. All
changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss were due
to foreign currency translation adjustments.
Note 12. Income Taxes
In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, the
Company used an estimated annual effective tax rate for the first
quarter of 2022 and a discrete effective tax rate method based on
statutory tax rates for the first quarter of 2021. Our periodic
effective income tax rate is affected by the relative mix of pretax
earnings or losses and underlying income tax rates applicable to
the various taxing jurisdictions.
Income tax benefit for the first quarter of 2022 was $171 compared
to an income tax expense of $22,016 for the first quarter of
2021. The variance in income taxes between 2022 and 2021 is
attributable to taxes on income generated by the investment
partnerships. Investment partnership pretax losses were
$6,661 during the first quarter of 2022 compared to pretax gains of
$81,766 during the first quarter of 2021.
Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
We are involved in various legal proceedings and have certain
unresolved claims pending. We believe, based on examination of
these matters and experiences to date, that the ultimate liability,
if any, in excess of amounts already provided in our consolidated
financial statements is not likely to have a material effect on our
results of operations, financial position or cash
flow.
Note 14. Fair Value of Financial Assets
The fair values of substantially all of our financial instruments
were measured using market or income approaches. Considerable
judgment may be required in interpreting market data used to
develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the fair values
presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could
be realized in an actual current market exchange. The use of
alternative market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may
have a material effect on the estimated fair value.
Note 14. Fair Value of Financial Assets
(continued)
The hierarchy for measuring fair value consists of Levels 1 through
3, which are described below.
•Level
1 – Inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets
or liabilities exchanged in active markets.
•Level
2 – Inputs include directly or indirectly observable inputs (other
than Level 1 inputs) such as quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities exchanged in active or inactive markets; quoted prices
for identical assets or liabilities exchanged in inactive markets;
other inputs that may be considered in fair value determinations of
the assets or liabilities, such as interest rates and yield curves,
volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates; and inputs that are derived principally from or
corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other
means. Pricing evaluations generally reflect discounted expected
future cash flows, which incorporate yield curves for instruments
with similar characteristics, such as credit ratings, estimated
durations and yields for other instruments of the issuer or
entities in the same industry sector.
•Level
3 – Inputs include unobservable inputs used in the measurement of
assets and liabilities. Management is required to use its own
assumptions regarding unobservable inputs because there is little,
if any, market activity in the assets or liabilities and we may be
unable to corroborate the related observable inputs. Unobservable
inputs require management to make certain projections and
assumptions about the information that would be used by market
participants in pricing assets or liabilities.
The following methods and assumptions were used to determine the
fair value of each class of the following assets recorded at fair
value in the consolidated balance sheets:
Cash equivalents:
Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds which are
classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Equity securities:
The Company’s investments in equity securities are classified as
Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Bonds:
The Company’s investments in bonds consist of both corporate and
government debt. Bonds are classified as Level l or Level 2 of the
fair value hierarchy.
Non-qualified deferred compensation plan investments:
The assets of the non-qualified plan are set up in a rabbi trust.
They represent mutual funds and publicly traded securities, each of
which are classified as Level 1 of the fair value
hierarchy.
Derivative instruments:
Options related to equity securities are marked to market each
reporting period and are classified as Level 2 of the fair value
hierarchy depending on the instrument.
Note 14. Fair Value of Financial Assets
(continued)
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair
values of financial assets were as follows.

Note 15. Related Party Transactions
Service Agreement
The Company is party to a service agreement with Biglari
Enterprises LLC and Biglari Capital Corp. (collectively, the
“Biglari Entities”) under which the Biglari Entities provide
business and administrative related services to the Company. The
Biglari Entities are owned by Mr. Biglari. The service agreement
has a five-year term, effective on October 1, 2017.
The Company paid Biglari Enterprises $2,100 in service fees during
the first quarter of 2022 and 2021. The service agreement does not
alter the hurdle rate connected with the incentive reallocation
paid to Biglari Capital Corp.
Incentive Agreement
The Incentive Agreement establishes a performance-based annual
incentive payment for Mr. Biglari contingent upon the growth in
adjusted equity in each year attributable to our operating
businesses. In order for Mr. Biglari to receive any incentive, our
operating businesses must achieve an annual increase in
shareholders’ equity in excess of 6% (the “Hurdle Rate”) above the
previous highest level (the “High Water Mark”). Mr. Biglari will
receive 25% of any incremental book value created above the High
Water Mark plus the Hurdle Rate. In any year in which book value
declines, our operating businesses must completely recover their
deficit from the previous High Water Mark, along with attaining the
Hurdle Rate, before Mr. Biglari becomes eligible to receive any
further incentive payment.
Note 16. Business Segment Reporting
Our reportable business segments are organized in a manner that
reflects how management views those business activities. Our
restaurant operations include Steak n Shake and Western Sizzlin.
Our insurance operations include First Guard and Southern
Pioneer. The Company also reports segment information for
Maxim and Southern Oil. Other business activities not specifically
identified with reportable business segments are presented in
corporate. We report our earnings from investment partnerships
separate from our corporate expenses. We assess and measure segment
operating results based on segment earnings as disclosed below.
Segment earnings from operations are neither necessarily indicative
of cash available to fund cash requirements, nor synonymous with
cash flow from operations. The tabular information that follows
shows data of our reportable segments reconciled to amounts
reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
Note 16. Business Segment Reporting

A disaggregation of our consolidated data for the first quarters of
2022 and 2021 is presented in the tables which follow.

Cost of food, restaurant operating costs, and occupancy costs are
expressed as a percentage of net sales.
General and administrative, marketing and other expenses are
expressed as a percentage of total revenue.
The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), declared a pandemic by the
World Health Organization in March 2020, caused governments to
impose restrictive measures to contain its spread. The COVID-19
pandemic adversely affected our restaurant operations and financial
results. Our restaurants were required to close their dining rooms
during the first quarter of 2020. The majority of Steak n Shake’s
dining rooms were reopened during 2021, and in doing so a
self-service model has been implemented.
Net sales for 2022 were $38,216, representing a decrease of $16,734
or 30.5% compared to 2021. The decrease in revenue of company-owned
restaurants is primarily due to the shift of company units to
franchise partner units. For company-operated units, sales to the
end customer are recorded as revenue generated by the Company, but
for franchise partner units, only our share of the restaurant’s
profits, along with certain fees, are recorded as revenue. Because
we derive most of our revenue from our share of the profits,
revenue will continue to decline as we transition from
company-operated units to a franchise partner units.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Franchise partner fees were $15,624 during 2022, as compared to
$7,853 during 2021.
As of March 31, 2022, there were 171 franchise partner units,
compared to 108 franchise partner units as of March 31, 2021.
For a franchise partner to be awarded a restaurant, he or she must
demonstrate the gold standard in service.
The franchise royalties and fees generated by the traditional
franchising business were $5,146 during 2022, as compared to $5,135
during 2021.
The cost of food in 2022 was $10,960 or 28.7% of net sales, as
compared to $15,554 or 28.3% of net sales in 2021. The decrease in
cost was due to a reduction in the number of company-operated
stores. Restaurant operating costs during 2022 were $20,032 or
52.4% of net sales, as compared to $25,197 or 45.9% of net sales in
2021.
General and administrative costs increased by $970 in 2022 compared
to 2021, primarily because of an increase in personnel
costs.
Marketing expenses were relatively flat as a percentage of total
revenue in 2022 as compared to 2021.
The Company recorded impairment charges of $298 in the first
quarter of 2021 related to underperforming stores. There were no
impairments in 2022.
Insurance
We view our insurance businesses as possessing two activities:
underwriting and investing. Underwriting decisions are the
responsibility of the unit managers, whereas investing decisions
are the responsibility of our Chairman and CEO, Sardar Biglari. Our
business units are operated under separate local management.
Biglari Holdings’ insurance operations consist of First Guard and
Southern Pioneer.
Underwriting results of our insurance operations are summarized

Investment partnership gains include gains/losses from changes in
market values of underlying investments and dividends earned by the
partnerships. Dividend income has a lower effective tax rate
than income from capital gains. These gains and losses have
caused and will continue to cause significant volatility in our
periodic earnings.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
The investment partnerships hold the Company’s common stock as
investments. The Company’s pro-rata share of its common stock held
by the investment partnerships is recorded as treasury stock even
though these shares are legally outstanding. Gains and losses on
Company common stock included in the earnings of the partnerships
are eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial
results.

full on February 19, 2021.
Corporate and Other
Corporate expenses exclude the activities of the restaurant,
insurance, brand licensing, and oil and gas businesses.
Corporate and other net losses during the first quarter
of 2022 were relatively flat compared to the same period
during 2021.
Income Taxes
Income tax benefit for the first quarter of 2022 was $171 compared
to an income tax expense of $22,016 for the first quarter of 2021.
The variance in income taxes between 2022 and 2021 is attributable
to taxes on income generated by the investment partnerships.
Investment partnership pretax losses were $6,661 during the first
quarter of 2022 compared to pretax gains of $81,766 during the
first quarter of 2021.

Cash provided by operating activities was $21,092 during 2022
compared to $165,298 in 2021. The decrease in cash provided
by operating activities is mainly attributable to distributions
from investment partnerships
of $4,500 for
2022 and $150,570 for 2021. The distributions during 2021 were
primarily used to repay Steak n Shake’s debt.
Cash used in investing activities during 2022 was $16,077 compared
to $8,780 in 2021. Capital expenditures were $1,846 higher in 2022
compared to 2021. The increase in capital expenditures relates to
Steak n Shake’s continued transformation to counter service.
Proceeds from property disposals were $2,640 higher during 2021
compared to 2022. Purchases of investments, net of maturities and
sales, were $2,811 higher during 2022 compared to
2021.
Cash used in financing activities was $150,997 higher in 2021
compared to 2022. The Company repaid Steak n Shake’s debt and made
principal payments on direct financing lease obligations of
$152,561 during 2021.
We intend to meet the working capital needs of our operating
subsidiaries principally through anticipated cash flows generated
from operations and cash on hand. We continually review available
financing alternatives.
Steak n Shake Credit Facility
On March 19, 2014, Steak n Shake and its subsidiaries entered into
a credit agreement which provided for a senior secured term
loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $220,000. The
term loan was scheduled to mature on March 19, 2021. The Company
repaid the balance of Steak n Shake’s term facility on February 19,
2021.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain
accounting policies require management to make estimates and
judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several
years in the future. Amounts recognized in our consolidated
financial statements from such estimates are necessarily based on
numerous assumptions involving varying and potentially significant
degrees of judgment and uncertainty. Accordingly, the amounts
currently reflected in our consolidated financial statements will
likely increase or decrease in the future as additional information
becomes available. There have been no material changes to
critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2021.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
No recently issued accounting pronouncements were applicable for
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In
general, forward-looking statements include estimates of future
revenues, cash flows, capital expenditures, or other financial
items, and assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.
Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current
expectations regarding future events and use words such as
“anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “may,” and other similar
terminology. A forward-looking statement is neither a prediction
nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances, and those future
events or circumstances may not occur. Investors should not place
undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only
as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are
all based on currently available operating, financial, and
competitive information and are subject to various risks and
uncertainties. Our actual future results and trends may differ
materially depending on a variety of factors, many beyond our
control, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties
described in Item 1A, Risk Factors of our annual report on Form
10-K and Item 1A of this report. We undertake no obligation to
publicly update or revise them, except as may be required by
law.
Item 3.
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The majority of our investments are conducted through investment
partnerships which generally hold common stocks. We also hold
marketable securities directly. Through investment partnerships we
hold concentrated positions. A significant decline in the general
stock market or in the prices of major investments may produce a
large net loss and decrease in our consolidated shareholders’
equity. Decreases in values of equity investments can have a
materially adverse effect on our earnings and on consolidated
shareholders’ equity.
We prefer to hold equity investments for very long periods of time
so we are not troubled by short-term price volatility with respect
to our investments. Market prices for equity securities are subject
to fluctuation. Consequently, the amount realized in the subsequent
sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported
market value. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in the market
price of our investments would result in a respective increase or
decrease in the carrying value of our investments of $32,952 along
with a corresponding change in shareholders’ equity of
approximately 4%.
We have had minimal exposure to foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations in the first quarters of 2022 and 2021.
Southern Oil’s business is fundamentally a commodity business. This
means Southern Oil’s operations and earnings may be significantly
affected by changes in oil and gas prices. Such commodity prices
depend on local, regional and global events or conditions that
affect supply and demand for oil and gas. Any material decline in
crude oil or natural gas prices could have a material adverse
effect on Southern Oil’s operations.
Item 4.
Controls
and Procedures
Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), our
Chief Executive Officer and Controller have concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
March 31, 2022.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31,
2022 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
