| We are confident that AGGIA will continue to provide valuable insight and expertise as we grow our global food organization |
| I'm pleased to report that Q1 was a strong continuation of Q4 and mark the first full quarter of MMI's significant pivot towards a diversified global food organization through the creation of our wholly owned subsidiary, Sadot LLC |
| And so it's really good that we've got that experience that's out there, and the know how, and it also allows us to grow, right, they've got, more experience in different commodity areas, for example, they got more experience in some of the vertical integration, stuff of farming and shipping and all the other things in between, right, so as we expand this business, and bring on these other revenue sources, they'll be able to expand right with us without having to have some of those inefficiencies, when you start up these businesses |
| We firmly believe that adding a Sadot subsidiary has created significant value for the company |
| Along with vast financial opportunities |
| In summary, we're extremely pleased with MMI's performance this quarter, fueled by Sadot, and our need diversification strategy |
| We are very pleased with Sadot performance to date and our diversification strategy into the agri commodity space |
| This revenue announcement marks the accomplishment of five consecutive months above $50 million in revenue per month for the company and demonstrates the continued performance of Sadot, with the total revenue since inception in November of 2022 of over $361 million |
| And the numbers we're seeing are very impressive so far, I mean, we literally are, at this stage, probably three to four times the revenue at the Pokemoto than we had at the Muscle Maker, right, which is significant |
| We believe there's an ability to become more vertically integrated with the goal of generating higher contribution margins and further diversification |
| So you get and you get not a lot of the product per se a little bit, but you get the leverage those type of things right, which gives you better efficiencies and helps reduce your costs |
| So our last two quarters are a good indication of baselines for us to grow upon |
| I do think we got an incredible team, not only at MMI, but also at AGGIA, who are working with us, we're working really well together |
| We're confident in our strategy, we look forward to continuing growth in the months and years to come |
| We're excited to report that our new diversification strategy and company pivot towards a diversified global food organization is starting to bear fruit |
| This leverages our existing infrastructure, reducing our overall costs while offering a wide variety of options for consumers, while potentially turning a negative impact location into a positive impact location |
| MMI success this quarter is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team |
| But so far, it looks pretty encouraging from that |
| I'm pleased to announce that MMI achieve top line revenue of $213 million for the first quarter of 2023 |
| We see Q1 results along with other strategic actions as a foundation for our future growth and diversification within the global food supply chain |
| And we do feel that, the message is getting better, and people understanding kind of what's happening here and things |
| Well, royalty revenue increased by 36.5% as the company continues to focus its restaurant business unit strategy on franchising the Pokemoto concept |
| Tom Kerr Sounds good |
| For the quarter ended March 31 2023, our company-wide revenue significantly increased in total $213 million, compared to $3 million for the prior quarter ended March 31 2022 |
| Great job on the quarter |
| But as layoffs are starting to occur, we are starting to see some acceleration and franchise signings over the last 30 to 45 days |
| Michael Roper And I do think it's important to mention that, the AGGIA team that we're working with, they've got a huge level of experience and a wealth of knowledge that they're bringing to this equation |
| Today, Sadot is our largest operating unit and has been instrumental in our performance for this quarter |
| For 2023, we are projecting based on what we know of franchisees who have locations or are close to having locations we're projecting to open up between now and the end of the year, somewhere between 50 and 20 -- I am sorry, 15 and 20 locations between now and the end of the year, we're pretty confident those numbers could grow depending on you know how some of these landlords come in |
| And, between the two, they're really, who deserve all the credit for our successful so far and as far as being part of what we built, and we're going to continue to build here and move forward |

| But again, if interest rates go through the roof or whatever, then that could be a problem but not anticipating that happening right now |
| So that does become a little bit problematic as interest rates get too high |
| Company owned and operated location revenue decreased to the closing of underperforming and non-profitable Muscle Maker Grill restaurants |
| So first off, why did the margin come in a little bit lighter than it did in the previous quarter |
| You do have some concern out there from franchisees in general as the interest rates go up a lot of these guys will finance the build out |
| Sounds a little bit of trouble here |
| Our Sadot subsidiary generated a net income of $4.3 million, while our MMI Restaurant Brands generated a net loss of $406,000 for the first quarter |
| Compared to a 1.5 million non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss in the first quarter of 2022 |
| Overall, our first quarter non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $2.4 million in 2023, compared to a $1.5 million non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss in the first quarter of 2022 |
| In the beginning of the year, you also have which was affected us the beginning of this quarter |
| Okay, but when layoffs start in the economy, a lot of times people look to how do I create a job, I just got laid off somewhere, there's not a lot of hiring going on, I'm worried about what I'm going to do and they get angry, I'm never going to work for someone again, I'm going to do all this |
| You said that the $90 million is a monthly base that you're trying to achieve, but there's still lumpiness |
| Okay, as the economy glitches, our leads are still coming in |
| Now, you asked about inflation and all that kind of stuff and headwinds |
| So that's why you see some of the margins being a little bit slightly lower, because we had some of those higher costs in those areas |
