Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q") contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("PSLRA"), which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause actual results to be materially different. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Many of the forward-looking statements are located in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Forward-looking statements discuss our current expectations and projections relating to our financial position, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as "aim," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "outlook," "potential," "project," "projection," "plan," "intend," "seek," "may," "could," "would," "will," "should," "can," "can have," "likely," the negatives thereof and other similar expressions.
While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q in the context of the risks and uncertainties disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2017 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the heading "Risk Factors."
The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

Form 10-QNOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Shake Shack Inc. ("we," "us," "our," "Shake Shack" and the "Company") was formed on September 23, 2014 as a Delaware corporation for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering and other related transactions in order to carry on the business of SSE Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries ("SSE Holdings"). We are the sole managing member of SSE Holdings and, as sole managing member, we operate and control all of the business and affairs of SSE Holdings. As a result, we consolidate the financial results of SSE Holdings and report a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in SSE Holdings held by the other members of SSE Holdings. As of June 27, 2018 we owned 75.9 % of SSE Holdings. Unless the context otherwise requires, "we," "us," "our," "Shake Shack," the "Company" and other similar references, refer to Shake Shack Inc. and, unless otherwise stated, all of its subsidiaries, including SSE Holdings.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shake Shack Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and on a basis consistent in all material respects with the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2017 ("2017 Form 10-K"). In our opinion, all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operation have been included. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 27, 2017 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our 2017 Form 10-K.
SSE Holdings is considered a variable interest entity. Shake Shack Inc. is the primary beneficiary as we have the majority economic interest in SSE Holdings and, as the sole managing member, have decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of the entity, while the limited partners have no substantive kick-out or participating rights. As a result, we consolidate SSE Holdings. The assets and liabilities of SSE Holdings represent substantially all of our consolidated assets and liabilities with the exception of certain deferred taxes and liabilities under the Tax Receivable Agreement. As of June 27, 2018 and December 27, 2017, the net assets of SSE Holdings were $217,822 and $197,301 , respectively. The assets of SSE Holdings are subject to certain restrictions in SSE Holdings' revolving credit agreements. See Note 8 for more information.
Shake Shack Inc. Form 10-Q | 9
Form 10-Q | 9We adopted the Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) summarized below in fiscal 2018.
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) | Description | Date Adopted |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers and related standards (ASU’s 2014-09, 2015-14, 2016-08, 2016-10, 2016-12, 2016-20) | This standard supersedes the existing revenue recognition guidance and provides a new framework for recognizing revenue. The core principle of the standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The new standard also requires significantly more comprehensive disclosures than the existing standard. Guidance subsequent to ASU 2014-09 has been issued to clarify various provisions in the standard, including principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations, licensing transactions, as well as various technical corrections and improvements. See Note 3 for more information. | December 28, 2017 |
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01) | For public business entities, this standard requires: (i) certain equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (ii) a qualitative assessment to identify impairment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values; (iii) elimination of the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (iv) use of the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (v) separate presentation in other comprehensive income of the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; (vi) separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset in the financial statements; and (vii) an entity to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. | December 28, 2017 |
Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Payments (ASU 2016-15) | This standard provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. | December 28, 2017 |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) | Description | Expected Impact | Effective Date |
Leases (ASU's 2016-02, 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11) | This standard establishes a new lease accounting model, which introduces the recognition of lease assets and liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. It should be applied using a modified retrospective approach applied either at the beginning of the earliest period presented, or at the adoption date, with the option to elect various practical expedients. Early adoption is permitted. | We are currently evaluating the provisions of the standard, including optional practical expedients. We are assessing the impact to our accounting policies, processes, disclosures and internal control over financial reporting. We plan to adopt the standard on December 27, 2018. It is likely that the adoption will have a significant impact to our consolidated balance sheet given the number of real estate leases we have. We are still evaluating the expected impact to our consolidated statements of income and cash flows. | December 27, 2018 |
10 | Shake Shack Inc. Form 10-Q
Form 10-QNOTE 3: REVENUE
On December 28, 2017 we adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of December 28, 2017. We elected a practical expedient to aggregate the effect of all contract modifications that occurred before the adoption date, which did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. Results for reporting periods beginning on or after December 28, 2017 are presented under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 ("ASC 606"). Prior period amounts were not revised and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC Topic 605 ("ASC 605"), the accounting standard then in effect.
Upon transition, on December 28, 2017, we recorded a decrease to opening equity of $1,574 , net of tax, of which $1,135 was recognized in retained earnings and $439 in non-controlling interest, with a corresponding increase of $1,769 in other long-term liabilities, a decrease of $68 in other current liabilities, and an increase of $100 to accounts receivable.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue consists of Shack sales and licensing revenue. Generally, revenue is recognized as promised goods or services transfer to the guest or customer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Revenue from Shack sales is presented net of discounts and recognized when food, beverage and retail products are sold. Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from Shack sales and the obligation is included in sales tax payable until the taxes are remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities. Revenue from our gift cards is deferred and recognized upon redemption.
Licensing revenues include initial territory fees, Shack opening fees, and ongoing sales-based royalty fees from licensed Shacks. Generally, the licenses granted to develop, open, and operate each Shack in a specified territory are the predominant goods or services transferred to the licensee in our contracts, and represent distinct performance obligations. Ancillary promised services, such as training and assistance during the initial opening of a Shack, are typically combined with the licenses and considered as one performance obligation per Shack. We determine the transaction price for each contract, which is comprised of the initial territory fee, and an estimate of the total Shack opening fees we expect to be entitled to. The calculation of total Shack opening fees included in the transaction price requires judgment, as it is based on an estimate of the number of Shacks we expect the licensee to open. The transaction price is then allocated equally to each Shack expected to open. The performance obligations are satisfied over time, starting when a Shack opens, through the end of the term of the license granted to the Shack. Because we are transferring licenses to access our intellectual property during a contractual term, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the license term. Generally, payment for the initial territory fee is received upon execution of the licensing agreement, and payment for the restaurant opening fees are received either in advance of or upon opening the related restaurant. These payments are initially deferred and recognized as revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied, which occurs over a long-term period.
Revenue from sales-based royalties is recognized as the related sales occur.
Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, Shack opening fees were recorded as deferred revenue when received and proportionate amounts were recognized as revenue when a licensed Shack opened and all material services and conditions related to the fee were substantially performed. Territory fees were recorded as deferred revenue when received and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the license agreement, which generally began upon execution of the contract.

The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of June 27, 2018 is $10,557 . We expect to recognize this amount as revenue over a long-term period, as the license term for each Shack ranges from 10 to 20 years with renewals. This amount excludes any variable consideration related to sales-based royalties.

NOTE 8: DEBT
In January 2015, we executed a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which became effective on February 4, 2015 (together with the prior agreements and amendments, and as further amended, the "Revolving Credit Facility"), which provides for a revolving total commitment amount of $50,000 , of which $20,000 is available immediately. The Revolving Credit Facility will mature and all amounts outstanding will be due and payable five years from the effective date. The Revolving Credit Facility permits the issuance of letters of credit upon our request of up to $10,000 . Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either: (i) LIBOR plus a percentage ranging from 2.3 % to 3.3 % or (ii) the prime rate plus a percentage ranging from 0.0 % to 0.8 %, depending on the type of borrowing made under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 27, 2018 and December 27, 2017, there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 27, 2018, we had $19,317 of availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, after giving effect to $683 in outstanding letters of credit.
The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of SSE Holdings and the guarantors. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of SSE Holdings' wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (with certain exceptions).
The Revolving Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to, subject to specified exceptions, incur additional debt; incur additional liens and contingent liabilities; sell or dispose of assets; merge with or acquire other companies; liquidate or dissolve ourselves; pay dividends or make distributions; engage in businesses that are not in a related line of business; make loans, advances or guarantees; engage in transactions with affiliates; and make investments. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains certain cross-default provisions. We are required to maintain a specified consolidated fixed-charge coverage ratio and a specified funded net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, both as defined under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 27, 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants.
As of June 27, 2018 and December 27, 2017 we had deemed landlord financing liabilities of $18,340 and $14,518 , respectively, for certain leases where we are involved in the construction of leased assets and are considered the accounting owner of the construction project.

Form 10-QNOTE 9: NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS
We are the sole managing member of SSE Holdings and, as a result, consolidate the financial results of SSE Holdings. We report a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in SSE Holdings held by the other members of SSE Holdings. The Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, as further amended, (the "LLC Agreement") of SSE Holdings provides that holders of LLC Interests may, from time to time, require SSE Holdings to redeem all or a portion of their LLC Interests for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. In connection with any redemption or exchange, we will receive a corresponding number of LLC Interests, increasing our total ownership interest in SSE Holdings. Changes in our ownership interest in SSE Holdings while we retain our controlling interest in SSE Holdings will be accounted for as equity transactions. As such, future redemptions or direct exchanges of LLC Interests in SSE Holdings by the other members of SSE Holdings will result in a change in ownership and reduce the amount recorded as non-controlling interest and increase additional paid-in capital.

SSE Holdings is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, SSE Holdings is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by SSE Holdings is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including us, on a pro rata basis. We are subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income or loss of SSE Holdings, as well as any stand-alone income or loss generated by Shake Shack Inc. We are also subject to withholding taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

Our effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2018 and June 28, 2017 were 17.5 % and 29.3 %, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by the reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "TCJA"), partially offset by the increase in our ownership interest in SSE Holdings, which increases our share of the taxable income of SSE Holdings, and higher foreign withholding taxes. Our weighted-average ownership interest in SSE Holdings was 75.2 % and 70.4 % for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2018 and June 28, 2017, respectively.

Form 10-QOur effective income tax rates for twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 and June 28, 2017 were 18.1 % and 29.5 %, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by the reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% due to the enactment of the TCJA, partially offset by the increase in our ownership interest in SSE Holdings, which increases our share of the taxable income of SSE Holdings, and higher foreign withholding taxes. Our weighted-average ownership interest in SSE Holdings was 74.4 % and 70.0 % for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 and June 28, 2017, respectively.
Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
During the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 , we acquired an aggregate of 1,578,854 LLC Interests in connection with the redemption of LLC Interests and activity relating to our stock compensation plan. We recognized a deferred tax asset in the amount of $16,831 associated with the basis difference in our investment in SSE Holdings upon acquisition of these LLC Interests. As of June 27, 2018 , the total deferred tax asset related to the basis difference in our investment in SSE Holdings was $160,314 . However, a portion of the total basis difference will only reverse upon the eventual sale of our interest in SSE Holdings, which we expect would result in a capital loss. As of June 27, 2018 , the total valuation allowance established against the deferred tax asset to which this portion relates was $10,649 .
During the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 , we also recognized $4,972 of deferred tax assets related to additional tax basis increases generated from expected future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and related deductions for imputed interest on such payments. See "—Tax Receivable Agreement" for more information.
We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establish valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized. As of June 27, 2018 , we concluded, based on the weight of all available positive and negative evidence, that all of our deferred tax assets (except for those deferred tax assets described above relating to basis differences that are expected to result in a capital loss upon the eventual sale of our interest in SSE Holdings) are more likely than not to be realized. As such, no additional valuation allowance was recognized.
Uncertain Tax Positions
Tax Receivable Agreement
Pursuant to our election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), we expect to obtain an increase in our share of the tax basis in the net assets of SSE Holdings when LLC Interests are redeemed or exchanged by the other members of SSE Holdings. We plan to make an election under Section 754 of the Code for each taxable year in which a redemption or exchange of LLC Interest occurs. We intend to treat any redemptions and exchanges of LLC Interests as direct purchases of LLC Interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts that we would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities. They may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.
On February 4, 2015, we entered into a tax receivable agreement with certain of the then-existing members of SSE Holdings (the "Tax Receivable Agreement") that provides for the payment by us of 85 % of the amount of any tax benefits that we actually realize, or in some cases are deemed to realize, as a result of (i) increases in our share of the tax basis in the net assets of SSE Holdings resulting from any redemptions or exchanges of LLC Interests, (ii) tax basis increases attributable to payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and (iii) deductions attributable to imputed interest pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement (the "TRA Payments"). We expect to benefit from the remaining 15 % of any tax benefits that we may actually realize. The TRA Payments are not conditioned upon any continued ownership interest in SSE Holdings or us. The rights of each member of SSE Holdings, that is a party to the Tax Receivable Agreement, are assignable to transferees of their respective LLC Interests.
During the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 , we acquired an aggregate of 1,325,415 LLC Interests in connection with the redemption of LLC Interests, which resulted in an increase in the tax basis of our investment in SSE Holdings subject to the provisions of the Tax Receivable Agreement. We recognized an additional liability in the amount of $17,992 for the TRA Payments due to the

OVERVIEW
Shake Shack is a modern day "roadside" burger stand serving a classic American menu of premium burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, crinkle cut fries, shakes, frozen custard, beer and wine. As of June 27, 2018, there were 179 Shacks in operation, system-wide, of which 100 were domestic company-operated Shacks, 10 were domestic licensed Shacks and 69 were international licensed Shacks.

During the quarter, we opened five domestic company-operated Shacks, including our first Shacks in North Carolina at Charlotte's Park Road Shopping Center; in Ohio at Pinecrest, Cleveland's premier shopping, dining, entertainment and residential development; and at the Staten Island Mall in New York; as well as additional Shacks in the existing markets of Orlando and Connecticut. We also opened six international licensed Shacks, which included our first Shack in Hong Kong at the Central IFC Mall, as well as additional Shacks in the existing markets of South Korea, Japan and the Middle East.

We continued to execute on our growth strategies in 2018 and the second quarter was positively impacted by (i) the incremental sales from the 25 new domestic company-operated Shacks opened between June 28, 2017 and June 27, 2018, and (ii) growth in same-Shack sales of 1.1%. These were partially offset by increased labor and related expenses resulting from ongoing increases in minimum wages, commissions paid as part of certain third-party delivery pilots and higher repair and maintenance costs related to some mature, high-volume Shacks.
Net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. was $7.6 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $4.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the same period last year. On an adjusted pro forma basis, which excludes certain non-recurring items and assumes that all outstanding LLC Interests were exchanged for shares of Class A common stock as of the beginning of the period, we would have recognized net income of $11.0 million, or $0.29 per fully exchanged and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $7.3 million, or $0.20 per fully exchanged and diluted share for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of 50.8%.

(1) | As a percentage of Shack sales. |
Shack Sales
Shack sales represent the aggregate sales of food, beverages and Shake Shack branded merchandise at our domestic company-operated Shacks. Shack sales in any period are directly influenced by the number of operating weeks in such period, the number of open Shacks and same-Shack sales. Same-Shack sales means, for any reporting period, sales for the comparable Shack base, which we define as the number of domestic company-operated Shacks open for 24 months or longer.
Shack sales were $112.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $88.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $24.9 million or 28.3%. The growth in Shack sales was primarily driven by the opening of 25 new domestic company-operated Shacks between June 28, 2017 and June 27, 2018. Same-Shack sales increased $0.7 million, or 1.1%. The increase in same-Shack sales, consisted of a combined increase in price and sales mix of 3.7% offset by a 2.6% decrease in guest traffic. For purposes of calculating same-Shack sales growth, Shack sales for 50 Shacks were included in the comparable Shack base.
Shack sales were $209.0 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $162.2 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $46.8 million or 28.9%. The increase is primarily due to the opening of 25 new domestic company-operated Shacks between June 28, 2017 and June 27, 2018. Same-Shack sales increased $1.5 million, or 1.3%. The increase in same-Shack sales, consisted of a combined increase in price and sales mix of 4.6% offset by a 3.3% decrease in guest

Form 10-Q | 27traffic. Excluding all transactions associated with the free burger promotion in the prior year, our same-Shack sales would have been 1.5% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018, with traffic declining by 2.4%. For purposes of calculating same-Shack sales growth, Shack sales for 50 Shacks were included in the comparable Shack base.
Licensing Revenue
Licensing revenue is comprised of license fees, opening fees for certain licensed Shacks and territory fees. License fees are calculated as a percentage of sales and territory fees are payments for the exclusive right to develop Shacks in a specific geographic area.
Licensing revenue was $3.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $3.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $0.1 million or 2.1%. Licensing revenue was $6.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $5.9 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $0.5 million or 8.5%. The increase for the thirteen week period was primarily driven by 20 new licensed Shacks opened between June 28, 2017 and June 27, 2018, with strong performance in the Shacks throughout Asia, balanced by continued softness in the Middle East.
Food and Paper Costs
Food and paper costs include the direct costs associated with food, beverage and packaging of our menu items. The components of food and paper costs are variable by nature, changing with sales volume, and are impacted by menu mix and fluctuations in commodity costs.
Food and paper costs were $31.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $24.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $7.0 million or 28.2%. Food and paper costs were $58.6 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $45.9 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $12.7 million or 27.8%. The increases for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods were primarily due to the opening of 25 new domestic company-operated Shacks between June 28, 2017 and June 27, 2018.
As a percentage of Shack sales, food and paper costs remained constant at 28.1% for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2018 and June 28, 2017, which was a result of higher beef costs, offset by sponsorship receipts for our biennial leadership retreat. As a percentage of Shack sales, food and paper costs decreased to 28.1% from 28.3% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 and June 28, 2017, respectively. This decrease was the result of a number of factors including efficiencies in our remaining basket of food, the menu price increase we implemented in December 2017 and sponsorship receipts for our biennial leadership retreat, offset by rising beef costs and costs associated with the free burger promotion related to the launch of our mobile app.
Labor and Related Expenses
Labor and related expenses include domestic company-operated Shack-level hourly and management wages, bonuses, payroll taxes, equity-based compensation, workers' compensation expense and medical benefits. As we expect with other variable expense items, we expect labor costs to grow as our Shack sales grow. Factors that influence labor costs include minimum wage and payroll tax legislation, health care costs and the performance of our domestic company-operated Shacks.
Labor and related expenses were $29.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $22.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $7.3 million or 32.6%. Labor and related expenses were $56.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $42.9 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $13.5 million or 31.6%. These increases for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods were primarily due to the opening of 25 new domestic company-operated Shacks between June 28, 2017 and June 27, 2018.
As a percentage of Shack sales, labor and related expenses increased to 26.3% and 27.0% for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018, respectively, compared to 25.5% and 26.4% for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, respectively. The increases for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods were primarily due to ongoing increases to hourly minimum wages, the entry of lower volume Shacks into the system, as well as the timing of new Shack openings which typically carry higher labor costs initially.
28 | Shake Shack Inc. Form 10-Q
Form 10-QOther Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses consist of Shack-level marketing expenses, utilities and other operating expenses incidental to operating our domestic company-operated Shacks, such as non-perishable supplies, credit card fees, property insurance and the costs of repairs and maintenance.
Other operating expenses were $12.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $8.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $3.8 million or 44.7%. Other operating expenses were $23.0 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $16.2 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $6.8 million or 42.7%. The increases for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods were primarily due to the opening of 25 new domestic company-operated Shacks between June 28, 2017 and June 27, 2018.
As a percentage of Shack sales, other operating expenses increased to 10.9% and 11.0% for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018, respectively, compared to 9.6% and 10.0% for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, respectively. The increase was due to higher repair and maintenance costs related to some mature, high-volume Shacks and delivery commissions paid as part of the integrated pilots during the year.
Occupancy and Related Expenses
Occupancy and related expenses consist of Shack-level occupancy expenses (including rent, common area expenses and certain local taxes), and exclude occupancy expenses associated with unopened Shacks which are recorded separately in pre-opening costs.
Occupancy and related expenses were $7.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $7.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $0.4 million or 5.1%. Occupancy and related expenses were $15.1 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $13.2 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $1.9 million or 14.0%. The increases for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods were primarily due to the opening of 25 new domestic company-operated Shacks between June 28, 2017 and June 27, 2018, offset by the impact from a one-time benefit to deferred rent related to certain historical leases with co-tenancy provisions.
As a percentage of Shack sales, occupancy and related expenses decreased to 6.6% and 7.2% for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018, respectively, compared to 8.0% and 8.2% for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, respectively. The decreases primarily due to the increased number of leases where we are deemed to be the accounting owner and for which less rent expense is recognized and the impact from a one-time benefit to deferred rent related to certain historical leases with co-tenancy provisions, partially offset by the introduction of Shacks at various volumes into the system.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist of costs associated with corporate and administrative functions that support Shack development and operations, as well as equity-based compensation expense.
General and administrative expenses were $12.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $9.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $2.9 million or 30.1%. General and administrative expenses were $24.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $18.1 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $6.3 million or 34.4%. The increase for the thirteen week period was primarily driven by higher payroll expenses from increased headcount at our Home Office to support our ongoing growth. The increase for the twenty-six week period was primarily driven by the aforementioned costs as well as costs related to the relocation of our new Home Office, including duplicative non-cash deferred rent, a net loss on the sublease of our old Home Office and the disposal of certain fixed assets.
As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to 10.8% and 11.3% for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018, respectively, from 10.6% and 10.8% for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, respectively. These increases were primarily due to the aforementioned items.
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation expense consists of the depreciation of fixed assets, including leasehold improvements and equipment.
Depreciation expense was $7.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $5.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $1.7 million or 32.5%. Depreciation expense was $13.5 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $10.0 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $3.5 million or 34.6%. The
Shake Shack Inc. Form 10-Q | 29
Form 10-Q | 29increases for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods were primarily due to incremental depreciation of capital expenditures related to the opening of 25 new domestic company-operated Shacks between June 28, 2017 and June 27, 2018.
As a percentage of total revenue, depreciation expense increased to 6.0% and 6.3% for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018, respectively, compared to 5.8% and 6.0% for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, respectively, primarily due to the entry of Shacks at various volumes into the system.
Pre-Opening Costs
Pre-opening costs consist primarily of legal fees, rent, managers' salaries, training costs, employee payroll and related expenses, costs to relocate and compensate Shack management teams prior to an opening and wages, travel and lodging costs for our opening training team and other supporting team members. All such costs incurred prior to the opening of a domestic company-operated Shack are expensed in the period in which the expense was incurred. Pre-opening costs can fluctuate significantly from period to period, based on the number and timing of domestic company-operated Shack openings and the specific pre-opening costs incurred for each domestic company-operated Shack. Additionally, domestic company-operated Shack openings in new geographic market areas may initially experience higher pre-opening costs than our established geographic market areas, such as the New York City metropolitan area, where we have greater economies of scale and incur lower travel and lodging costs for our training team.
Pre-opening costs were $2.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $1.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $0.5 million or 29.1%. Pre-opening costs were $4.5 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $4.3 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $0.2 million or 3.7%. These increases were due to the timing and total number of new domestic company-operated Shacks expected to open.
Loss on Disposal of Property and Equipment
Loss on disposal of property and equipment represents the net book value of assets that have been retired and consists primarily of furniture and fixtures that were replaced in the normal course of business.
The loss on disposal of property and equipment for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, compared to $0.1 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net consists of interest income, dividend income and net realized gains and losses from the sale of marketable securities.
Other income, net for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 was $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, compared to $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, respectively, which primarily consisted of dividend income related to the investments in marketable securities.
Interest Expense
Interest expense primarily consists of amortization of deferred financing costs, imputed interest on deferred compensation, interest on the current portion of our liabilities under the Tax Receivable Agreement, imputed interest on our deemed landlord financing liability as well as interest and fees on our Revolving Credit Facility.
Interest expense for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 was $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, compared to $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, respectively. These increases were primarily due to the increased number of leases where we are deemed to be the accounting owner.
Income Tax Expense
We are the sole managing member of SSE Holdings, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, SSE Holdings is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by SSE Holdings is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including us, on a pro rata basis. We are subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income or loss generated by SSE Holdings.
In December 2017, the TCJA was enacted into law. The TCJA provides for significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including the reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, among other provisions.
30 | Shake Shack Inc. Form 10-Q
Form 10-QIncome tax expense was $2.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $3.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2017. Our effective income tax rate decreased to 17.5% for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2018 from 29.3% for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2017. The decrease in income tax expense is primarily driven by the aforementioned rate reduction resulting from the enactment of the TCJA, partially offset by the increase in our ownership interest in SSE Holdings, which increases our share of the taxable income of SSE Holdings, and higher foreign withholding taxes.
Income tax expense was $3.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 compared to $5.0 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017. Our effective income tax rate decreased to 18.1% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 from 29.5% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017.
As our ownership interest in SSE Holdings increases, our share of the taxable income of SSE Holdings will also increase. When compared to consolidated pre-tax income, this will result in increases to our effective income tax rate. Our weighted-average ownership interest in SSE Holdings increased to 75.2% and 74.4% for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018, respectively, compared to 70.4% and 70.0% for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, respectively.
Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests
We are the sole managing member of SSE Holdings and have the sole voting power in, and control the management of, SSE Holdings. Accordingly, we consolidate the financial results of SSE Holdings and report a non-controlling interest on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, representing the portion of net income attributable to the other members of SSE Holdings. The Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of SSE Holdings provides that holders of LLC Interests may, from time to time, require SSE Holdings to redeem all or a portion of their LLC Interests for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. In connection with any redemption or exchange, we will receive a corresponding number of LLC Interests, increasing our total ownership interest in SSE Holdings. The weighted average ownership percentages for the applicable reporting periods are used to attribute net income and other comprehensive income to Shake Shack Inc. and the non-controlling interest holders.
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $3.0 million and $3.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2018 and June 28, 2017, respectively, a decrease of $0.3 million or 10.2%. This decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in the non-controlling interest holders' weighted average ownership, which was 24.8% and 29.6% for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2018 and June 28, 2017, respectively.
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $4.4 million and $4.9 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 and June 28, 2017, respectively, a decrease of $0.5 million or 9.4%. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in the non-controlling interest holders' weighted average ownership, which was 25.6% and 30.0% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 and June 28, 2017, respectively.
Shake Shack Inc. Form 10-Q | 31
Form 10-Q | 31NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Shack-level operating profit, Shack-level operating profit margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share (collectively the "non-GAAP financial measures").
Shack-Level Operating Profit
Shack-level operating profit is defined as Shack sales less Shack-level operating expenses including food and paper costs, labor and related expenses, other operating expenses and occupancy and related expenses.
How This Measure Is Useful
When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, Shack-level operating profit and Shack-level operating profit margin are supplemental measures of operating performance that we believe are useful measures to evaluate the performance and profitability of our Shacks. Additionally, Shack-level operating profit and Shack-level operating profit margin are key metrics used internally by our management to develop internal budgets and forecasts, as well as assess the performance of our Shacks relative to budget and against prior periods. It is also used to evaluate employee compensation as it serves as a metric in certain of our performance-based employee bonus arrangements. We believe presentation of Shack-level operating profit and Shack-level operating profit margin provides investors with a supplemental view of our operating performance that can provide meaningful insights to the underlying operating performance of our Shacks, as these measures depict the operating results that are directly impacted by our Shacks and exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, the ongoing operations of our Shacks. It may also assist investors to evaluate our performance relative to peers of various sizes and maturities and provides greater transparency with respect to how our management evaluates our business, as well as our financial and operational decision-making.
Limitations of the Usefulness of this Measure
Shack-level operating profit and Shack-level operating profit margin may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of Shack-level operating profit and Shack-level operating profit margin is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Shack-level operating profit excludes certain costs, such as general and administrative expenses and pre-opening costs, which are considered normal, recurring cash operating expenses and are essential to support the operation and development of our Shacks. Therefore, this measure may not provide a complete understanding of the operating results of our company as a whole and Shack-level operating profit and Shack-level operating profit margin should be reviewed in conjunction with our GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of Shack-level operating profit to operating income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is as follows.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense (net of interest income), income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (as defined above) excluding equity-based compensation expense, deferred rent expense, losses on the disposal of property and equipment, as well as certain non-recurring items that we don't believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring business operations.
How These Measures Are Useful
When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that we believe are useful measures to facilitate comparisons to historical performance and competitors' operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used internally by our management to develop internal budgets and forecasts and also serves as a metric in our performance-based equity incentive programs and certain of our bonus arrangements. We believe presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provides investors with a supplemental view of our operating performance that facilitates analysis and comparisons of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
Limitations of the Usefulness of These Measures
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA exclude certain normal recurring expenses. Therefore, these measures may not provide a complete understanding of our performance and should be reviewed in conjunction with our GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is as follows.

Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income and Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings Per Fully Exchanged and Diluted Share
Adjusted pro forma net income represents net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. assuming the full exchange of all outstanding SSE Holdings, LLC membership interests ("LLC Interests") for shares of Class A common stock, adjusted for certain non-recurring items that we don't believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring business operations. Adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share is calculated by dividing adjusted pro forma net income by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding LLC Interests, after giving effect to the dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based awards.
How These Measures Are Useful
When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share are supplemental measures of operating performance that we believe are useful measures to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors. By assuming the full exchange of all outstanding LLC Interests, we believe these measures facilitate comparisons with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period because it eliminates the effect of any changes in net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. driven by increases in our ownership of SSE Holdings, which are unrelated to our operating performance, and excludes items that are non-recurring or may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
Limitations of the Usefulness of These Measures
Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share should not be considered alternatives to net income and earnings per share, as determined under GAAP. While these measures are useful in evaluating our performance, it does not account for the earnings attributable to the non-controlling interest holders and therefore does not provide a complete understanding of the net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc.

Shake Shack Inc. Form 10-Q | 35
Form 10-Q | 35LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand, short-term investments and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 27, 2018, we maintained a cash and cash equivalents balance of $30.9 million, a short-term investments balance of $61.4 million and had $19.3 million of availability under our Revolving Credit Facility.
Our primary requirements for liquidity are to fund our working capital needs, operating lease obligations, capital expenditures, deemed landlord financing obligations and general corporate needs. Our requirements for working capital are not significant because our guests pay for their food and beverage purchases in cash or on debit or credit cards at the time of the sale and we are able to sell many of our inventory items before payment is due to the supplier of such items. Our ongoing capital expenditures are principally related to opening new Shacks, existing Shack capital investments (both for remodels and maintenance), as well as investments in our corporate infrastructure.
In addition, we are obligated to make payments to certain members of SSE Holdings under the Tax Receivable Agreement. As of June 27, 2018, such obligations totaled $177.4 million. Amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement are contingent upon, among other things, (i) generation of future taxable income over the term of the Tax Receivable Agreement and (ii) future changes in tax laws. If we do not generate sufficient taxable income in the aggregate over the term of the Tax Receivable Agreement to utilize the tax benefits, then we would not be required to make the related TRA Payments. Although the amount of any payments that must be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be significant, the timing of these payments will vary and will generally be limited to one payment per member per year. The amount of such payments are also limited to the extent we utilize the related deferred tax assets. The payments that we are required to make will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to us or to SSE Holdings, but we expect the cash tax savings we will realize from the utilization of the related deferred tax assets to fund the required payments.
We believe that cash provided by operating activities, cash on hand and availability under the Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operating lease obligations, capital expenditures, deemed landlord financing obligations and working capital needs for at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.
Summary of Cash Flows
The following table presents a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.

Operating Activities
For the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 net cash provided by operating activities was $40.9 million compared to $33.7 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $7.2 million. This increase was primarily driven by the opening of 25 new domestic company-operated Shacks.
Investing Activities
For the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 net cash used in investing activities was $34.8 million compared to $25.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $9.4 million. This increase was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures partially offset by an increase in net sales of marketable securities.
36 | Shake Shack Inc. Form 10-Q
Form 10-QFinancing Activities
For the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2018 net cash provided by financing activities was $3.3 million compared to $2.5 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2017, an increase of $0.8 million. This increase is primarily due to lower payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement and distributions to our non-controlling interest holders in current quarter as compared to prior year, partially offset by lower proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options.
Revolving Credit Facility
We maintain a Revolving Credit Facility that provides for a revolving total commitment amount of $50.0 million, of which $20.0 million is available immediately. The Revolving Credit Facility will mature and all amounts outstanding will be due and payable in February 2020. The Revolving Credit Facility permits the issuance of letters of credit upon our request of up to $10.0 million. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either: (i) LIBOR plus a percentage ranging from 2.3% to 3.3% or (ii) the prime rate plus a percentage ranging from 0.0% to 0.8%, depending on the type of borrowing made under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 27, 2018, there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. We had $19.3 million of availability, as of June 27, 2018, after giving effect to $0.7 million in outstanding letters of credit.
The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of SSE Holdings and the guarantors. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of SSE Holdings' wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (with certain exceptions).
The Revolving Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to, subject to specified exceptions, incur additional debt; incur additional liens and contingent liabilities; sell or dispose of assets; merge with or acquire other companies; liquidate or dissolve ourselves; pay dividends or make distributions; engage in businesses that are not in a related line of business; make loans, advances or guarantees; engage in transactions with affiliates; and make investments. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains certain cross-default provisions. We are required to maintain a specified consolidated fixed-charge coverage ratio and a specified funded net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, both as defined under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 27, 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants.

Form 10-Q | 37CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations is based upon the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions, which we believe to be reasonable, based on the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Variances in the estimates or assumptions used to actual experience could yield materially different accounting results. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the continued appropriateness of our accounting policies and resulting estimates to make adjustments we consider appropriate under the facts and circumstances. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2017, except for those made in connection with the adoption of ASC 606. See "Note 3: Revenue" under Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
