  Content	August 5, 2025 4:05 PM EDT Revenues Increased 20% to $207.4 Million Benihana Same Store Sales Increased 0.4% and STK Transactions Increased 2.8% DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. (“The ONE Group” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: STKS ) today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 29, 2025. Highlights for the second quarter 2025 compared to the same quarter in 2024 are as follows: increased 20.2% to $207.4 million from $172.5 million; decreased 4.1%; decreased $0.4 million to $0.7 million; the current year quarter includes $5.6 million of lease termination and exit expenses related to the exit of five grill locations; increased 8.0% to $31.9 million from $29.6 million; increased $2.8 million to $10.1 million from GAAP net loss of $7.3 million; the current year quarter includes $5.6 million of lease termination and exit expenses related to the exit of five grill locations; and increased 7.3% to $23.4 million from $21.8 million. “I'm pleased to report that we met our expectations for the quarter while delivering strong top-line growth of 20% driven by the successful integration of our Benihana acquisition and continued execution of our key strategic initiatives. Benihana delivered positive same store sales and STK achieved positive traffic for the second and third consecutive quarters, respectively, clear indicators of underlying consumer engagement and brand strength," said Emanuel "Manny" Hilario, President and CEO of The ONE Group. “We are focused on accelerating same store sales growth and pursuing asset-light and low-cost expansion strategies that enhance capital efficiency and balance sheet strength. We recently opened our second franchised Benihana Express location in Miami, Florida, allowing us to expand our Benihana brand without deploying capital. Looking ahead, we remain confident in our growth trajectory and are on track to open five to seven new venues this year while optimizing operations across our expanded portfolio. These initiatives reflect our ongoing efforts to increase shareholder value through a balanced and resilient operating model driven by strong top line growth and asset-light expansion,” concluded Hilario. Restaurant Development The Company plans to open five to seven new venues in 2025. We have opened the following restaurants to date in 2025: Owned Benihana restaurant in San Mateo, California (March 2025) Owned STK restaurant in Topanga, California (April 2025) Owned STK restaurant in Los Angeles, California (May 2025 - relocation of our existing STK Westwood restaurant) Franchised Benihana Express restaurant in Miami, Florida (June 2025) There is currently one Company-owned Benihana restaurant and one Company-owned Kona Grill restaurant under construction in the following cities: Owned Benihana restaurant in Seattle, Washington Owned Kona Grill restaurant in San Antonio, Texas (relocation of an existing Kona Grill restaurant) Liquidity and Share Repurchase Program As of June 29, 2025, we held $15.1 million in cash and short-term credit card receivables and had $33.6 million available under our revolving credit facility. Under the current conditions, our credit facility does not have any financial covenants. In March 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a $5 million share repurchase program. During the second quarter ended June 29, 2025, the Company purchased 0.2 million shares for aggregate consideration of $0.6 million. 2025 Targets As of January 1, 2025, we began reporting financial information on a fiscal quarter basis using four 13-week quarters with the addition of a 53rd week when necessary.

We are unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because we cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted since these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measure are not available without unreasonable effort.

Refer to the reconciliation of GAAP revenue to total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units in this press release. **We define Restaurant EBITDA as owned restaurant net revenue minus owned restaurant cost of sales and owned restaurant operating expenses before non-cash rent.

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 Restaurant EBITDA. 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): For the three periods ended June 29, 2025 For the three months ended June 30, 2024 For the six periods ended June 29, 2025 For the six months ended June 30, 2024 (unaudited) (unaudited) (unaudited) (unaudited) Owned restaurant net revenue (1) Management, license, franchise and incentive fee revenue GAAP revenues Food and beverage sales from managed units (1) Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units Components of total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash rent expense, non-recurring gains and losses, stock-based compensation, certain transactional and exit costs, transition and integration expenses and lease termination and exit expenses. 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. The following table presents a reconciliation of net (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated (in thousands): For the three periods ended June 29, For the three months ended June 30, For the six periods ended June 29, For the six months ended June 30, Net loss attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc.

Lease termination and exit expenses are costs associated with closed, abandoned and disputed locations or leases. Non-cash rent expense is included in owned restaurant operating expenses, pre-opening expenses and general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations. Restaurant Operating Profit and Restaurant EBITDA. We define Restaurant Operating Profit as owned restaurant net revenue minus owned restaurant cost of sales and owned restaurant operating expenses. We define Restaurant EBITDA as Restaurant Operating Profit minus non-cash rent. We believe Restaurant Operating Profit and Restaurant EBITDA are an important component of financial results because: (i) they are widely used metrics within the restaurant industry to evaluate restaurant-level productivity, efficiency, and performance, and (ii) we use Restaurant Operating Profit and Restaurant EBITDA as key metrics 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. The following table presents a reconciliation of Operating income to Restaurant Operating Profit and Restaurant EBITDA for the periods indicated (in thousands): For the three periods ended June 29, For the three months ended June 30, For the six periods ended June 29, For the six months ended June 30, Operating income as reported Management, license and incentive fee revenue General and administrative Depreciation and amortization Transaction and exit costs Transition and integration expenses Pre-opening expenses Lease termination and exit expense Other expenses — Restaurant Operating Profit Restaurant Operating Profit as a percentage of owned restaurant net revenue Non-Cash Rent Restaurant EBITDA Restaurant EBITDA as a percentage of owned restaurant net revenue Restaurant Operating Profit by component is as follows (in thousands): For the three periods ended June 29, For the three months ended June 30, For the six periods ended June 29, For the six months ended June 30, STK restaurant operating profit (Company owned) STK restaurant operating profit (Company owned) as a percentage of STK revenue (Company owned) Benihana restaurant operating profit (Company owned) Benihana restaurant operating profit (Company owned) as a percentage of Benihana revenue (Company owned) Core Grill Concepts restaurant operating profit Core Grill Concepts restaurant operating profit as a percentage of Grill Concepts revenue Non-core Grill Concepts restaurant operating profit Non-core Grill Concepts restaurant operating profit as a percentage of Non-core revenue Restaurant EBITDA by component is as follows (in thousands): For the three periods ended June 29, For the three months ended June 30, For the six periods ended June 29, For the six months ended June 30, STK restaurant EBITDA (Company owned) STK restaurant EBITDA (Company owned) as a percentage of STK revenue (Company owned) Benihana restaurant EBITDA (Company owned) Benihana restaurant EBITDA (Company owned) as a percentage of Benihana revenue (Company owned) Core Grill Concepts restaurant EBITDA Core Grill Concepts restaurant EBITDA as a percentage of Grill Concepts revenue Non-core Grill Concepts restaurant EBITDA Non-core Grill Concepts restaurant EBITDA as a percentage of Non-core revenue Adjusted Net Income / (Loss). We define adjusted net income / (loss) as net income (loss) before Series A Preferred Stock paid-in-kind dividend and accretion, transaction and exit costs, transition and integration expenses, lease termination and exit expenses, one-time stock-based compensation, non-recurring costs and the income tax effect of any adjustments. We believe that adjusted net income / (loss) is an appropriate measure of operating performance, as it provides a clear picture of our operating results by eliminating certain non-cash and one-time expenses that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. Adjusted net income / (loss) 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 / (loss) 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. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) available to common stockholders to adjusted net income (loss) for the periods indicated (in thousands): For the three periods ended June 29, For the three months ended June 30, For the six periods ended June 29, For the six months ended June 30, Net income (loss) available to common stockholders (GAAP) Adjustments: Series A Preferred Stock paid-in-kind dividend and accretion Transaction and exit costs Transition and integration expenses Loss on early debt extinguishment — — Lease termination and exit expenses Other expenses — Income tax effect on adjustments(1) Adjusted net income (loss) (non-GAAP) Adjusted net income (loss) per share: Basic Adjusted net income (loss) per share: Diluted Shares used in computing basic income (loss) per share Shares used in computing diluted income (loss) per share Reflects the tax expense associated with the adjustments for the three and six periods ended June 29, 2025, and the three and six months June 30, 2024. The Company uses its estimated normalized annual tax rate.
