FAT Brands president and CEO Andy Wiederhorn said: “Third quarter results demonstrated continued business momentum as we achieved acquisition synergies and positive same-store sales growth across our Fatburger & Buffalo’s Express, Buffalo’s Cafe, and Ponderosa and Bonanza Steakhouse brands.

“During the quarter we completed our previously announced acquisition of Hurricane Grill & Wings, our first acquisition following our IPO. The successful integration of the Hurricane restaurants onto our platform demonstrates the strength of our growth strategy and our ability to generate synergies.

“Inclusive of these acquisition synergies, we expect to achieve an annualised revenue run-rate of $22m to $24m and an annualised EBITDA run-rate of $10m to $11m beginning in the first quarter of 2019. Our pipeline of brands for acquisition remains robust, and we continue to actively work to complete additional transactions.”
