A copy of the press release titled “Ark Restaurants Announces Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2023 (the "Press Release") is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Press Release contains certain non-GAAP disclosures related to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and EBITDA adjusted for non-cash stock option expense, non-controlling interests and gains from forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program Loans ("PPP Loans").

In addition, EBITDA is used by virtually all companies in the restaurant sector as a measure of both performance and liquidity.

Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company believes the use of this non-GAAP financial measure enhances an overall understanding of the Company’s past financial performance, as well as providing useful information to investors because of its historical use by the Company as both a performance measure and measure of liquidity. In addition, EBITDA is used by virtually all companies in the restaurant sector as a measure of both performance and liquidity. This information is intended to be furnished under this Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On February 8, 2023, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share which will be paid on March 14, 2023 to the stockholders of record of each share of the Company's common stock at the close of business on February 28, 2023. Future decisions to pay dividends, and the amount of any dividend, are at the discretion of the Board and will depend upon the Company's operating performance and other factors.
