We believe that the properties are suitable and adequate for the Company’s business.

  • We do not own certain software that is used in operating our business.
  • We are a holding company and our principal asset is our 80.5% equity interest in EWC Ventures, and we are accordingly dependent upon distributions from EWC Ventures to pay dividends, if any, and taxes, make payments under the TRA and cover other expenses, including our corporate and other overhead expenses.
  • Our organizational structure, including the TRA, confers certain benefits upon the EWC Ventures Pre-IPO Members that do not benefit holders of our Class A common stock (other than the EWC Ventures Pre-IPO Members) to the same extent that it benefits the EWC Ventures Pre-IPO Members.
  • The General Atlantic equity holders, whose interests in our business may be different than yours, hold a significant percentage of the combined voting power of our common stock and certain statutory provisions afforded to stockholders that are not applicable to us.
  • Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains a provision renouncing our interest and expectancy in certain corporate opportunities, which could adversely affect our business or prospects.

  • Our stock price may be volatile, and the value of our Class A common stock may decline.
  • We cannot predict the effect our dual-class structure may have on the market price of our Class A common stock.
  • We previously identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. If we identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain effective internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and, as a result, the value of our common stock.
  • Certain of our key operating metrics are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and any real or perceived inaccuracies in our metrics or the underlying data may cause a loss of investor confidence in such metrics and the market price of our Class A common stock may decline.
  • We are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our Class A common stock less attractive to investors.
  • Provisions in our charter documents may delay or prevent our acquisition by a third party.
  • We may issue preferred stock whose terms could adversely affect the voting power or value of our Class A common stock.
  • We have incurred increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to compliance with our public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices.
  • If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about us or our business, or publish projections for our business that exceed our actual results, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
  • Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that certain courts in the State of Delaware or the federal district courts of the United States for certain types of lawsuits will be the sole and exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which limits our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.

On July 1, 2025, a class-action lawsuit captioned Sydney Dunn v. European Wax Center, Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company by a putative class representing users who booked a reservation on the Company’s website, asserting various privacy-related claims stemming from the Company’s purported use of digital tracking technologies on its website. While we anticipate a loss is probable in this matter, we also anticipate an insurance loss recovery is probable. Consequently, we have accrued an estimated loss and a corresponding insurance receivable, net of the policy’s deductible.

Because the litigation is in its early stages, the actual loss could vary from our current estimate; however, we do not believe the loss would exceed our insurance policy’s $5.0 million coverage limits. Accordingly, we do not expect the impact to our Consolidated Statement of Operations to exceed the policy’s $250,000 deductible.

In addition, the Company is exposed to various asserted and unasserted potential claims encountered in the normal course of business, including, without limitation, employment-related claims, claims based on theories of joint-employer liability, data privacy claims, claims involving anti-poaching allegations and claims made by former or existing franchisees or the government. In the ordinary course of business, we are also subject to regulatory and governmental examinations, information requests and subpoenas, inquiries, investigations, and threatened legal actions and proceedings. Although the outcomes of potential legal proceedings are inherently difficult to predict, the Company does not expect the resolution of these occasional legal proceedings to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
