Items Effecting Comparability and Segment Update
On May 16, 2024, we completed the acquisition of Carrols Restaurant Group Inc. ("Carrols") ("the Carrols Acquisition"). Our consolidated results include Carrols revenues, expenses and segment income from the acquisition date of May 16, 2024 through June 30, 2024. On June 28, 2024, we also completed the acquisition of Popeyes China ("PLK China") ("the PLK China Acquisition"), which will be included in our consolidated results commencing in the third quarter of 2024.
Following the Carrols and PLK China Acquisitions, RBI established a new operating and reportable segment, Restaurant Holdings (RH), which includes results from the Carrols Burger King restaurants and the PLK China restaurants. As a result, RBI now reports results under six operating and reportable segments consisting of the following: Tim Hortons (TH), Burger King (BK), Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen (PLK), Firehouse Subs (FHS), International (INTL) and RH.
RBI plans to maintain the franchisor dynamics in its TH, INTL, BK, PLK and FHS segments ("five franchisor segments") to report results consistent with how the business will be managed long-term given RBI's plans to refranchise the vast majority of the Carrols Burger King restaurants and to find a new partner for PLK China in the future. RH results include Company restaurant sales and expenses, including expenses associated with royalties, rent, and advertising. These expenses are recognized, as applicable, as revenues in the respective franchisor segments (BK and INTL) and eliminated upon consolidation.
During 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, BK also acquired approximately 125 restaurants from non-Carrols franchisees ("non-Carrols acquired BK restaurants"). As a result, BK owned and operated 175 Company restaurants as of June 30, 2024 as compared to 60 as of June 30, 2023. The results from these restaurants are included in BK Company restaurants sales and expenses.
Given the temporary nature of RBI owning and operating the RH restaurants, RBI updated its definition of organic growth to exclude the results of the RH segment and the impact of FX movements. RBI's organic growth includes results from the non-Carrols acquired BK restaurants and the Popeyes Carrols restaurants, which are managed and recognized as Company restaurants in the BK and PLK segments, respectively. Please refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for further detail.
Key performances indicators are shown for RBI's five franchisor segments. RH results for the Carrols BK restaurants and PLK China restaurants are included in the BK segment and INTL segment, respectively.

Discussion of Consolidated Financial Results
The year-over-year increases in Total Revenues on an as reported and organic basis were primarily driven by an increase in Company restaurant sales due to the impact of the non-Carrols acquired BK restaurants and increases in system-wide sales at INTL, TH and PLK. These increases were partially offset by the elimination of franchise and property revenues and advertising revenues and other services from the non-Carrols acquired BK restaurants. On an as reported basis, Total Revenues also benefited from the inclusion of RH results, partially offset by the elimination of franchise and property revenues and advertising revenues and other services related to the RH restaurants and unfavorable FX Impacts at TH and INTL.
The year-over-year increase in Income from Operations was primarily driven by a favorable change from the impact of equity method investments, increases in segment income at our five franchisor segments, and the inclusion of RH segment income, partially offset by an unfavorable change in other operating expenses (income), net, an unfavorable FX Impact and RH Transaction costs. The favorable change in equity method investments primarily reflects a $79 million gain recognized in connection with the Carrols Acquisition that resulted in an increase in the value of our existing 15% equity interest in Carrols.
The year-over-year increase in Net Income was primarily driven by the year-over-year increase in Income from Operations, partially offset by loss on early extinguishment of debt and an increase in income taxes.
The year-over-year increases in Adjusted Operating Income on an as reported and on an organic basis were primarily driven by increases in segment income at our five franchisor segments. On an as reported basis, the increase was also driven by the inclusion of RH Adjusted Operating Income, partially offset by unfavorable FX Impacts at TH and INTL.
The year-over-year increase in Adjusted Net Income was primarily driven by increases in segment income at our five franchisor segments and the inclusion of RH segment income, partially offset by an increase in adjusted income tax expense, an increase in adjusted interest expense, net and an unfavorable FX Impact.
Burger King US Reclaim the Flame
In September 2022, Burger King shared the details of its "Reclaim the Flame" plan to accelerate sales growth and drive franchisee profitability. We will be investing $400 million over the life of the plan, comprised of $150 million in advertising and digital investments ("Fuel the Flame") and $250 million in high-quality remodels and relocations, restaurant technology, kitchen equipment, and building enhancements ("Royal Reset").
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we funded $6 million toward the Fuel the Flame investments and $10 million toward our Royal Reset investments. As of June 30, 2024, we have funded a total of $85 million toward the Fuel the Flame investments and $90 million toward our Royal Reset investments.
On April 30, 2024, Burger King announced its Royal Reset 2.0 program and expects to invest an additional $300 million in remodels from 2025 through 2028. Together with the initial Reclaim the Flame investment and plans to remodel 600 of the recently acquired Carrols restaurants, Burger King will be on a path to achieve its goal of 85% to 90% modern image by 2028.

For the second quarter of 2024, the increase in system-wide sales was primarily driven by comparable sales of 4.6%.
The year-over-year increases in Total Revenues on an as reported and on an organic basis were primarily driven by an increase in system-wide sales and convention revenues, the latter of which was offset by convention expenses. As a reminder, TH did not host convention in 2023. The increase in Total Revenues on an as reported basis was partially offset by an unfavorable FX Impact.
The year-over-year increase in Adjusted Operating Income on an as reported and on an organic basis was primarily driven by the increase in system-wide sales, lower average cost of supply chain inventory, net bad debt recoveries in the current year period compared to bad debt expense in the prior year, partially offset by advertising expenses and other services exceeding advertising revenues and other services in the current year period to a greater extent than in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted Operating Income on an as reported basis was partially offset by an unfavorable FX Impact.

As a reminder, BK segment results are presented consistently with our franchisor model. As such, results include intersegment franchise and property revenues and advertising revenues and other services from the Carrols Burger King restaurants included in RH (as footnoted above).
For the second quarter of 2024, the decrease in system-wide sales was driven by relatively flat comparable sales and net restaurant growth of (1.7)%.
The year-over-year increase in Total Revenues was primarily driven by increases in Company restaurant sales and an increase in advertising fund contributions from vendors, partially offset by a decrease in Franchise and Property sales due to the impact of the non-Carrols acquired BK restaurants and restaurant closures during 2024 and 2023.
The year-over-year increase in Adjusted Operating Income was primarily driven by a reduction in Fuel the Flame spending versus the prior year period and the net impact of the non-Carrols acquired BK restaurants, partially offset by the decrease in system-wide sales.

For the second quarter of 2024, the increase in system-wide sales was driven by net restaurant growth of 8.2%, and comparable sales of 2.6%.
The year-over-year increases in Total Revenues on an as reported and on an organic basis were primarily driven by increases in BK royalties due to the increase in system-wide sales and higher advertising fund contributions by franchisees and vendors in the limited markets where we manage the advertising funds. The increase in Total Revenues on an as reported basis was partially offset by an unfavorable FX Impact.
The year-over-year increases in Adjusted Operating Income on an as reported and on an organic basis were primarily driven by the increases in system-wide sales, partially offset by higher Segment G&A driven by higher compensation-related expenses. The year-over-year increase in Adjusted Operating Income on an as reported basis was partially offset by an unfavorable FX impact.

Cash and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2024, Total debt was $14.1 billion, Net debt (Total debt less Cash and cash equivalents of $0.9 billion) was $13.2 billion, Net Income Net Leverage was 7.3x and Adjusted EBITDA Net Leverage was 5.0x. As a reminder, Adjusted EBITDA includes results from Carrols from May 16, 2024 to June 30, 2024.
The RBI Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $0.58 per common share and partnership exchangeable unit of Restaurant Brands International Limited Partnership for the third quarter of 2024. The dividend will be payable on October 4, 2024 to shareholders and unitholders of record at the close of business on September 20, 2024. We plan to submit a new normal course issuer bid, subject to TSX approval, to be effective following expiration of the current one in September 2024.
During the second quarter, we completed the acquisition of Carrols Restaurant Group for an enterprise value of approximately $1,000 million which was funded with a combination of cash on hand and $750 million of incremental borrowings under our Term Loan B facility. Subsequent to this transaction, we repriced our Term Loan B facility from an interest rate equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR plus 2.25% to an interest rate equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus 1.75% and reduced the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan B facility from $5,912 million to $4,750 million using a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of $1,200 million of 6.125% First Lien Senior Notes due 2029. There were no changes to the maturity of the Term Loan B following this repricing and all other terms are substantially unchanged.
2024 Guidance
RBI continues to expect consolidated capital expenditures, tenant inducements and incentives (excluding RH) of approximately $300 million.
RBI now expects Adjusted Net Interest Expense, between $565 million and $575 million and Segment G&A (excluding RH) for 2024 between $640 million and $660 million, including share-based compensation and non-cash incentive compensation expense between $170 million and $180 million.
Long-Term Guidance
RBI hosted an investor event on February 15, 2024 and announced the following long-term consolidated performance that the Company continues to expect to achieve, on average, from 2024 to 2028:
- 3%+ Comparable Sales;
- 5%+ Net Restaurant Growth;
- 8%+ System-wide Sales growth; and
- Adjusted Operating Income growth at least as fast as system-wide sales growth.

RESTAURANT BRANDS INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Key Operating Metrics
We evaluate our restaurants and assess our business based on the following operating metrics.
- System-wide sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all franchised restaurants and Company restaurants (referred to as system-wide sales) in one period from the same period in the prior year. Comparable sales refers to the percentage change in restaurant sales in one period from the same prior year period for restaurants that have been open for 13 months or longer for Tim Hortons, Burger King and Firehouse and 17 months or longer for Popeyes. Additionally, if a restaurant is closed for a significant portion of a month, the restaurant is excluded from the monthly comparable sales calculation.
- System-wide sales growth and comparable sales are measured on a constant currency basis, which means that results exclude the effect of foreign currency translation ("FX Impact") and are calculated by translating prior year results at current year monthly average exchange rates. We analyze key operating metrics on a constant currency basis as this helps identify underlying business trends, without distortion from the effects of currency movements.
- Unless otherwise stated, system-wide sales growth, system-wide sales and comparable sales are presented on a system-wide basis, which means they include franchised restaurants and Company restaurants. System-wide results are driven by our franchised restaurants, as nearly all system-wide restaurants are franchised. Franchise sales represent sales at all franchised restaurants and are revenues to our franchisees. We do not record franchise sales as revenues; however, our royalty revenues and advertising fund contributions are calculated based on a percentage of franchise sales.
- Net restaurant growth ("NRG") refers to the net change in restaurant count (openings, net of permanent closures) over a trailing twelve month period, divided by the restaurant count at the beginning of the trailing twelve month period. In determining whether a restaurant meets our definition of a restaurant that will be included in our net restaurant growth, we consider factors such as scope of operations, format and image, separate franchise agreement, and minimum sales thresholds. We refer to restaurants that do not meet our definition as "alternative formats." These alternative formats are helpful to build brand awareness, test new concepts and provide convenience in certain markets.
These metrics are important indicators of the overall direction of our business, including trends in sales and the effectiveness of each brand's marketing, operations and growth initiatives.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
Below, we define the non-GAAP financial measures, provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), and discuss the reasons why we believe this information is useful to management and may be useful to investors. These measures do not have standardized meanings under GAAP and may differ from similarly captioned measures of other companies in our industry.
Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, RBI reports the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted Operating Income ("AOI"), EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA (on a consolidated and a segment basis), Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Interest Expense, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share ("Adjusted Diluted EPS"), Organic revenue growth, Organic AOI growth, Organic Adjusted EBITDA growth, Organic Net Income growth, Organic Adjusted Net Income growth, Organic Adjusted Diluted EPS growth, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt, and Adjusted EBITDA Net Leverage. We believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in assessing our operating performance or liquidity, as they provide them with the same tools that management uses to evaluate our performance or liquidity and are responsive to questions we receive from both investors and analysts. By disclosing these non-GAAP measures, we intend to provide investors with a consistent comparison of our operating results and trends for the periods presented.
AOI represents income from operations adjusted to exclude (i) franchise agreement and reacquired franchise right intangible asset amortization as a result of acquisition accounting, (ii) (income) loss from equity method investments, net of cash distributions received from equity method investments, (iii) other operating expenses (income), net and, (iv) income/expenses from non-recurring projects and non-operating activities. For the periods referenced in the following financial results, income/expenses from non-recurring projects and non-operating activities included (i) non-recurring fees and expense incurred in connection with the Firehouse Acquisition consisting of professional fees, compensation-related expenses and integration costs ("FHS Transaction costs"), (ii) non-recurring fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Carrols Acquisition, and commencing in the third quarter of 2024, the PLK China acquisition, consisting primarily of professional fees, compensation related expenses and integration costs ("RH Transaction costs") and (iii) non-operating costs from professional advisory and consulting services associated with certain transformational corporate restructuring initiatives that rationalize our structure and optimize cash movements as well as services related to significant tax reform legislation and regulations ("Corporate restructuring and advisory fees"). Management believes that these types of expenses are either not related to our underlying profitability drivers or not likely to re-occur in the foreseeable future and the varied timing, size and nature of these projects may cause volatility in our results unrelated to the performance of our core business that does not reflect trends of our core operations. AOI is used by management to measure operating performance of the business, excluding these other specifically identified items that management believes are not relevant to management's assessment of our operating performance. AOI, as defined above, also represents our measure of segment income for each of our six operating segments.
EBITDA is defined as earnings (net income or loss) before interest expense, net, (gain) loss on early extinguishment of debt, income tax (benefit) expense, and depreciation and amortization and is used by management to measure operating performance of the business. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding (i) the non-cash impact of share-based compensation and non-cash incentive compensation expense, (ii) (income) loss from equity method investments, net of cash distributions received from equity method investments, (iii) other operating expenses (income), net, and (iv) income or expense from non-recurring projects and non-operating activities (as described above). Adjusted EBITDA for each of the six reporting segments is defined as AOI for the respective segment operations adjusted to exclude (i) the non-cash impact of share-based compensation and non-cash incentive compensation expense associated with the segment and (ii) depreciation and amortization (excluding franchise agreement and reacquired franchise right intangible asset amortization as a result of acquisition accounting) associated with the segment.
Segment G&A (excluding RH) is defined as general and administrative expenses for our five franchisor segments excluding FHS Transaction costs, RH Transaction costs and Corporate restructuring and advisory fees.
Adjusted Net Income is defined as Net income excluding (i) franchise agreement and reacquired franchise right intangible asset amortization as a result of acquisition accounting, (ii) amortization of deferred financing costs and debt issuance discount, (iii) loss on early extinguishment of debt and interest expense, which represents non-cash interest expense related to amounts reclassified from accumulated comprehensive income (loss) into interest expense in connection with restructured interest rate swaps, (iv) (income) loss from equity method investments, net of cash distributions received from equity method investments, (v) other operating expenses (income), net, and (vi) income or expense from non-recurring projects and non-operating activities (as described above).
Adjusted Net Interest Expense is defined as interest expense, net less (i) amortization of deferred financing costs and debt issuance discount and (ii) non-cash interest expense related to amounts reclassified from accumulated comprehensive income (loss) into interest expense in connection with restructured interest rate swaps.
Adjusted Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding of RBI during the reporting period. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS are used by management to evaluate the operating performance of the business, excluding certain non-cash and other specifically identified items that management believes are not relevant to management's assessment of operating performance.
Net debt is defined as Total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Total debt is defined as long-term debt, net of current portion plus (i) Finance leases, net of current portion, (ii) Current portion of long-term debt and finance leases and (iii) Unamortized deferred financing costs and deferred issue discount. Net debt is used by management to evaluate the Company's liquidity. We believe this measure is an important indicator of the Company's ability to service its debt obligations.
Adjusted EBITDA Net Leverage is defined as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA. Net Income Net Leverage is defined as Net Debt divided by Net Income. Both of these metrics are operating performance measures that we believe provide investors a more complete understanding of our leverage position and borrowing capacity after factoring in cash and cash equivalents that eventually could be used to repay outstanding debt.
Revenue growth, Adjusted Operating Income growth, Adjusted EBITDA growth, Adjusted Net Income growth and Adjusted Diluted EPS growth on an organic basis, are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of FX movements and also exclude the results of our RH segment. Management believes that organic growth is an important metric for measuring the operating performance of our business as it helps identify underlying business trends, without distortion from the effects of FX movements and the RH segment. We calculate the impact of FX movements by translating prior year results at current year monthly average exchange rates.
Free Cash Flow is the total of Net cash provided by operating activities minus Payments for property and equipment. Free Cash Flow is a liquidity measure used by management as one factor in determining the amount of cash that is available for working capital needs or other uses of cash, however, it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures.
Net Interest Paid is the total of cash interest paid in the period, cash proceeds (payments) related to derivatives, net from both investing activities and financing activities and cash interest income received. This liquidity measure is used by management to understand the net effect of interest paid, received and related hedging payments and receipts.
There are important components of estimated operating income, interest expense, net, and general and administrative expenses that we have not determined and therefore, a reconciliation of estimated AOI to operating income, Adjusted Net Interest Expense to interest expense, net and Segment G&A to general and administrative expenses cannot be provided at this time. A full reconciliation of each of these measures will be provided when actual results are released.
