Those shutdowns significantly affected our operating businesses to varying degrees. The risks and uncertainties resulting from COVID-19 and its variants may continue to affect our future earnings, cash flows, and financial condition. Accordingly, estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, including those associated with the evaluation of certain long-lived assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets for impairment, may be subject to significant adjustments in future periods.

depreciation and amortization are expressed as a percentage of total revenue.
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected our restaurant operations and
financial results. Our restaurants were required to close their dining rooms
during the first quarter of 2020.
The majority of Steak n Shake's dining rooms remained closed through the end of 2020 but were reopened during 2021, and in doing so implemented a self-service model. The transformation has resulted in higher capital expenditures in 2021 as compared to prior years. Steak n Shake has spent approximately$40,000 in capital expenditures related to the conversion of table-service restaurants to self-service restaurants. Net sales during 2021 were$187,913 , as compared to$306,577 during 2020. The decrease in revenue of company-owned restaurants is primarily due to the shift of company units to franchise partner units. For company-operated units, sales to the end customer are recorded as revenue generated by the Company, but for franchise partner units, only our share of the restaurant's profits, along with certain fees, are recorded as revenue. Because we derive most of our revenue from our share of the profits, revenue will continue to decline as we transition from company-operated units to franchise partner units. 16

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
Franchise partner fees were$55,641 during 2021, as compared to$22,213 during 2020. As ofDecember 31, 2021 , there were 159 franchise partner units, as compared to 86 franchise partner units as ofDecember 31, 2020 . For a franchise partner to be awarded a restaurant, he or she must demonstrate the gold standard in service.
The franchise royalties and fees generated by the traditional franchising
business were
increase in franchise royalties and fees was primarily due to the reopening of
dining rooms in 2021.
Our drive-through, carryout, and delivery capabilities positioned us to improve profitability in 2021 and 2020; however, our business has been challenged by COVID-19 related labor availability. The cost of food in 2021 was$55,315 , or 29.4% of net sales, as compared to$88,698 , or 28.9% of net sales in 2020. Restaurant operating costs during 2021 were$92,543 , or 49.2% of net sales, as compared to$137,574 , or 44.9% of net sales in 2020. The decreases in the cost of food and operating costs are mainly attributable to the transitioning of company-operated units to franchise partner units. The increase in operating costs as a percentage of net sales is mainly attributable to increasing wages - in our pursuit to become the maximum-wage employer in our category. Selling, general and administrative expenses during 2021 were$57,186 , or 21.1% of total revenues compared to$60,401 , or 17.2% of total revenues during 2020. General and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of net sales during 2021, as compared to 2020, primarily because of an increase in legal fees. Marketing expenses decreased by$7,584 in 2021 as compared to 2020, primarily by shifting to a digital strategy. Asset impairments decreased$19,011 during 2021 compared to 2020. Higher asset impairments were recorded in 2020 primarily because of dining room closures and uncertainties caused by the pandemic.
Interest on obligations under leases was
during 2020. The year-over-year decrease in interest expense is primarily
attributable to the maturity and retirement of lease obligations.
Insurance
We view our insurance businesses as possessing two activities: underwriting and investing. Underwriting decisions are the responsibility of the unit managers, whereas investing decisions are the responsibility of our Chairman and CEO,Sardar Biglari . Our business units are operated under separate local management.Biglari Holdings' insurance operations consist of First Guard and Southern Pioneer.

A summary of net investment income attributable to our insurance operations
follows.

We consider investment income as a component of our aggregate insurance
operating results. However, we consider investment gains and losses, whether
realized or unrealized, as non-operating.
Oil and Gas
Southern Oil primarily operates oil and natural gas properties offshore in the shallow waters of theGulf of Mexico . Southern Oil was acquired onSeptember 9, 2019 . Earnings for Southern Oil are summarized below. 2021 2020 2019 Oil and gas revenue$ 33,004 $ 26,255 $ 24,436 Oil and gas production costs 10,470 8,700 7,259 Depreciation, depletion, and accretion 8,073 12,527 8,218 General and administrative expenses 4,748 3,010 927 Earnings before income taxes 9,713 2,018 8,032 Income tax expense 2,185 128 2,111 Contribution to net earnings$ 7,528 $ 1,890 $ 5,921 Initially, the COVID-19 pandemic caused oil demand to significantly decrease, creating oversupplied markets that have resulted in lower commodity prices and margins. In response, the Company cut production and expenses in its oil and natural gas business during 2020. In 2021, however, the significant increase in average crude oil and natural gas prices resulting from the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, the resumption of normal economic activity, and the resulting improvement in supply and demand fundamentals caused Southern Oil to return to full production. Brand Licensing Maxim's business lies principally in licensing and media. Earnings of operations are summarized below. 2021 2020 2019 Licensing and media revenue$ 3,203 $ 4,083 $ 4,099 Licensing and media cost 2,275 2,156 3,181 General and administrative expenses 114 143 176 Earnings before income taxes 814 1,784 742 Income tax expense (1,550) 410 170 Contribution to net earnings$ 2,364 $ 1,374 $ 572 19

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
We acquired Maxim with the idea of transforming its business model. The magazine developed the Maxim brand, a franchise we are utilizing to generate nonmagazine revenue, notably through licensing, a cash-generating business related to consumer products, services, and events.
Investment Gains and Investment Partnership Gains
Investment gains were$6,401 ($4,832 net of tax) in 2021 and$3,644 ($2,877 net of tax) in 2020. Investment gains in 2021 included a gain from the sale of real estate of$5,047 ($3,785 , net of tax). Dividends earned on investments are reported as investment income by our insurance companies. We consider investment income as a component of our aggregate insurance operating results. However, we consider investment gains and losses, whether realized or unrealized, as non-operating.
Earnings from our investments in partnerships are summarized below.
2021 2020
2019
Investment partnership gains (losses)$ 10,953 $ (43,032) $ 78,133 Tax expense (benefit) 2,054 (10,526) 17,360 Contribution to net earnings$ 8,899 $ (32,506) $ 60,773 Investment partnership gains include gains/losses from changes in market values of underlying investments and dividends earned by the partnerships. Dividend income has a lower effective tax rate than income from capital gains. These gains and losses have caused and will continue to cause significant volatility in our periodic earnings. The investment partnerships hold the Company's common stock as investments. The Company's pro-rata share of its common stock held by the investment partnerships is recorded as treasury stock even though these shares are legally outstanding. Gains and losses on Company common stock included in the earnings of the partnerships are eliminated in the Company's consolidated financial results.
Interest Expense
The Company's interest expense is summarized below.
2021 2020 2019
Interest expense on notes payable and other borrowings $ (1,121) $ (9,262) $ (12,442)
Tax benefit (280) (2,322) (3,625)
Interest expense net of tax $ (841) $ (6,940) $ (8,817)
Interest expense during 2021 decreased by
repayment of Steak n Shake's term loan in full on
Income Taxes
Consolidated income tax expense was$6,789 in 2021 versus a benefit of$12,212 in 2020. Income tax expense increased during 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to a tax benefit of$10,526 for investment partnership losses of$43,032 in 2020. Corporate and Other Corporate expenses exclude the activities of the restaurant, insurance, brand licensing, and oil and gas businesses. Corporate and other net losses of$9,829 during 2021 increased compared to 2020 due to higher legal expenses.
Financial Condition
Our consolidated shareholders' equity onDecember 31, 2021 was$587,696 , an increase of$22,868 compared to theDecember 31, 2020 balance. The increase was primarily due to net income of$35,478 offset by an increase in treasury stock of$12,234 . 20

In 2021, cash from operating activities increased by $111,211 , as compared to
2020. The increase was primarily attributable to distributions from investment
partnerships of $180,170 for 2021 and $98,330 for 2020. The distributions during
2021 were primarily used to repay Steak n Shake's term loan.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased during 2021 by
compared to 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the acquisition of Southern
Pioneer and purchases of limited partner interests during 2020.
Net cash used in financing activities increased by
to 2020. The increase was primarily due to the repayment of Steak n Shake's
outstanding balance of its term debt during 2021.
We intend to meet the working capital needs of our operating subsidiaries,
principally through cash flows generated from operations and cash on hand. We
continually review available financing alternatives.
Steak n Shake Credit Facility OnMarch 19, 2014 , Steak n Shake and its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement that provided for a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of$220,000 . The term loan was scheduled to mature onMarch 19, 2021 . As ofDecember 31, 2020 ,$152,506 was outstanding. The Company repaid Steak n Shake's outstanding balance in full onFebruary 19, 2021 . Western Sizzlin Revolver As ofDecember 31, 2021 and 2020,Western Sizzlin had no debt outstanding under its revolver. Critical Accounting Policies Certain accounting policies require us to make estimates and judgments in determining the amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Such estimates and judgments necessarily involve varying, and possibly significant, degrees of uncertainty. Accordingly, certain amounts currently recorded in the financial statements will likely be adjusted in the future based on new available information and changes in other facts and circumstances. A discussion of our principal accounting policies that required the application of significant judgments as ofDecember 31, 2021 , follows. 21
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts ofBiglari Holdings Inc. and the wholly owned subsidiaries ofBiglari Holdings Inc. The analysis as to whether to consolidate an entity is subject to a significant amount of judgment. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Our interests in the investment partnerships are accounted for as equity method investments because of our retained limited partner interest in the investment partnerships. The Company records gains from investment partnerships (inclusive of the investment partnerships' unrealized gains and losses on their securities) in the consolidated statement of earnings based on our proportional ownership interest in the investment partnerships. Impairment of Restaurant Long-lived Assets We review company-operated restaurants for impairment on a restaurant-by-restaurant basis when events or circumstances indicate a possible impairment. Assets included in the impairment assessment generally consist of property, equipment and leasehold improvements directly associated with an individual restaurant as well as any related finance or operating lease assets. We test for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the total estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, the carrying value is written down to the estimated fair value, and a loss is recognized in earnings. Determining the future cash flows expected to be generated by an asset requires significant judgment regarding future performance of the asset, fair market value if the asset were to be sold, and other financial and economic assumptions. Oil and Natural Gas Reserves Crude oil and natural gas reserves are estimates of future production that impact certain asset and expense accounts. Proved reserves are the estimated quantities of oil and gas that geoscience and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be economically producible in the future under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations. Proved reserves include both developed and undeveloped volumes. Proved developed reserves represent volumes expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Proved undeveloped reserves are volumes expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled proved acreage, or from existing wells where expenditure is required for recompletion. We estimate our proved oil and natural gas reserves in accordance with the guidelines established by theSEC . Due to the inherent uncertainties and the limited nature of reservoir data, estimates of reserves are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Income Taxes We record deferred tax assets or liabilities based on differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using currently enacted rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. We record deferred tax assets to the extent we believe there will be sufficient future taxable income to utilize those assets prior to their expiration. To the extent deferred tax assets are unable to be utilized, we would record a valuation allowance against the unrealizable amount and record that amount as a charge against earnings. Due to changing tax laws and state income tax rates, significant judgment is required to estimate the effective tax rate applicable to tax differences arising from reversal in the future. We must also make estimates about the sufficiency of taxable income in future periods to offset any deductions related to deferred tax assets currently recorded.Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets We evaluate goodwill and any indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.Goodwill impairment occurs when the estimated fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value. The valuation methodology and underlying financial information included in our determination of fair value require significant managerial judgment. We use both market and income approaches to derive fair value. The methods behind these two approaches include, but are not limited to, comparable market multiples, long-term projections of future financial performance, and the selection of appropriate discount rates used to determine the present value of future cash flows.
Leases
We determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at contract inception
based on the presence of identified assets and our right to obtain substantially
all of the economic benefit from, or to direct the use of, such assets. When we
determine a lease exists, we record a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease
liability on our consolidated balance sheets. Right-of-use assets represent our
right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease liabilities represent
our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use
assets are recognized at commencement date at the value of the lease liability
and are adjusted for any prepayments, lease incentives received, and initial
direct costs incurred. Lease liabilities are recognized at the lease
commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over
the lease term. As the discount rate
22

Table of Contents
Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
implicit in the lease is not readily determinable in most of our leases, we use
our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at
commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our lease
terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably
certain that we will exercise that option. We do not record lease contracts with
a term of 12 months or less on our consolidated balance sheets. We recognize
fixed lease expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease
term. For finance leases, we recognize amortization expense on the right-of-use
asset and interest expense on the lease liability over the lease term.
