What is this Case About: BurgerFi International, Inc. (BFI) Misled Investors Regarding its Business Prospects

According to the complaint, the Company announced it had completed a business combination between Opes Acquisition Corp. and Legacy BurgerFi on December 17, 2020. On November 4, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza & Wings and touted the acquisition as "a significant step forward in BurgerFi's ongoing growth strategy and transition into a premium multibrand platform."

During the class period, defendants failed to disclose that the Company had overstated the effectiveness of its acquisition and growth strategies and had misrepresented to investors the purported benefits of Anthony’s Acquisition and its post-business combination business and financial prospects.

On August 11, 2022, BurgerFi issued a press release announcing the Company's second quarter 2022 results, reporting it had missed consensus estimated by $2.28 million. The Company also disclosed that “[n]et loss in the second quarter was $60.4 million compared to a net income of $9.0 million in the year-ago quarter[,]” which “[wa]s primarily the result of goodwill impairment charges of $55.2 million in relation to BurgerFi and Anthony’s coupled with higher depreciation, amortization of intangibles, share-based compensation, interest expense resulting from the acquisition-related debt.” On this news, BurgerFi's stock price fell $.10 per share, or 3.03%, to close at $3.20 per share on August 11, 2022.

Then, on November 16, 2022, BurgerFi announced its third quarter 2022 results, missing consensus estimates by $0.84 million, explaining that “[f]or the BurgerFi brand, same-store sales decreased 11% and 6% in corporate-owned and franchised locations, respectively.” On this news, BurgerFi's stock price fell $0.24 per share, or over 10%, to close at $2.03 per share on November 16, 2022.
