    Items Affecting Comparability and Restaurant Holdings Segment Reminder

    Operating and Reportable Segments

    RBI reports results under six operating and reportable segments consisting of four franchisor segments for the Tim Hortons, Burger King, Popeyes, and Firehouse Subs brands in the U.S. and Canada ("TH," "BK," "PLK," and "FHS"), and a fifth franchisor segment for all of our brands in the rest of the world ("INTL"). Additionally, we acquired Carrols Restaurant Group Inc. ("Carrols") (the "Carrols Acquisition") and Popeyes China ("PLK China") ("the PLK China Acquisition") effective on May 16, 2024 and June 28, 2024, respectively. Following these acquisitions, we established a new operating and reportable segment, Restaurant Holdings ("RH"), which includes results from (i) the Carrols Burger King restaurants and the PLK China restaurants from their acquisition dates and (ii) Firehouse Subs Brazil ("FHS Brazil") beginning in 2025.

    RBI maintains the franchisor dynamics in its TH, BK, PLK, FHS, and INTL segments ("Five Franchisor Segments") to report results consistent with how the business will be managed long-term. This approach reflects RBI's intent to refranchise the vast majority of the Carrols Burger King restaurants and to find new partners for PLK China and FHS Brazil 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 for the Carrols Burger King restaurants and INTL for PLK China and FHS Brazil) and eliminated upon consolidation.  

    Burger King China

    On February 14, 2025, we acquired substantially all of the remaining equity interests in Burger King China ("BK China") from our former joint venture partners (the "BK China Acquisition"). For 2025, BK China was classified as held for sale and reported as discontinued operations. As such, for 2025, results for BK China were not recognized in the INTL segment. However, BK China KPIs continued to be included in our INTL segment KPIs.

    On November 8, 2025, we agreed to enter into a joint venture with CPE Alder Investment Limited, a fund managed by CPE ("CPE"), with respect to the operations of BK China (such joint venture, the "BK China JV"). Subsequent to the transaction, which closed January 30, 2026, CPE owns approximately 83% of the BK China JV, while we own approximately 17% and have a seat on its board of directors. In conjunction with the transaction, we recognized a non-cash charge of $114 million during 2025 related to our Burger King China holdings. This charge is included within Net loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations.

    Beginning in 2026, we will account for our interest in BK China JV under the equity method of accounting and recognize franchise revenue, primarily related to royalties, in our INTL segment. Royalties from BK China will initially be at a lower rate and step up to the traditional Burger King International royalty rate over time.

    Convention Timing Impact on Franchise and Property Results

    BK hosted conventions in Q3 2025 and Q4 2024, PLK hosted conventions in both Q2 2025 and Q2 2024, FHS hosted conventions in both Q3 2025 and Q3 2024, TH held a convention in Q2 2024 only and INTL held a convention in Q2 2025 only. In 2026, PLK and FHS will host conventions in Q3 and TH and BK will host conventions in Q4. Convention-related revenues and expenses are recognized in each segment's Franchise and Property Revenues and Segment F&P Expenses, respectively, and have an immaterial net AOI impact.

    (a)

    System-wide Sales Growth is calculated on a constant currency basis and therefore will not recalculate to the percentage change in System-wide Sales, which is reported on a nominal basis

    The increase in Total revenues for the fourth quarter and full year was primarily driven by higher Supply chain sales due to increases in commodity prices, CPG net sales, and equipment sales to franchisees. For the full year, results were also impacted by unfavorable FX Impact. Excluding FX Impacts, Total revenues increased $106 million and $274 million for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively.

    The increase in Adjusted Operating Income for the fourth quarter and full year was primarily driven by revenue growth and a decrease in Segment G&A, largely due to lower compensation-related expenses. This was partially offset by higher Supply chain cost of sales due primarily to increases in commodity prices. For the full year, results were also impacted by unfavorable FX Impacts. Excluding FX Impacts, Adjusted Operating Income increased by $8 million and $51 million for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively.

    (a)

    Franchise and property revenues include intersegment revenues from RH consisting of royalties and rent of $29 million and $112 million during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, and $28 million and $71 million during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, which are eliminated in consolidation.

    (b)

    Advertising revenues and other services include intersegment revenues from RH consisting of advertising contributions and tech fees of $22 million and $85 million during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, and $19 million and $47 million during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, which are eliminated in consolidation.

    As a reminder, BK segment results are presented consistent 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).

    Burger King U.S. Reclaim the Flame

    Burger King is executing its multi-year "Reclaim the Flame" plan to accelerate sales growth and drive franchisee profitability. This plan includes investing up to $700 million through year-end 2028, comprised of advertising and digital investments ("Fuel the Flame") and high-quality remodels and relocations, restaurant technology, kitchen equipment, and building enhancements ("Royal Reset"). The Fuel the Flame investments were completed in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, we have funded $176 million out of up to $550 million planned toward the Royal Reset investments.

    Burger King 2025 Results 

    The increase in Total revenues for the fourth quarter and full year was primarily driven by increases in Advertising revenues and other services primarily due to an increase in advertising fund contributions from franchisees reflecting an increase in the contribution rate. For the fourth quarter, these increases were partially offset by lower Company restaurant sales as a result of Company restaurant refranchising.

    The increase in Adjusted Operating Income for the fourth quarter and full year was primarily driven by the non-recurrence of $41 million and $61 million, respectively, of Fuel the Flame expenses incurred in the prior year period. For the full year, the increase also reflects a decrease in Segment G&A due primarily to lower compensation-related expenses, partially offset by higher Segment F&P expenses due to net bad debt expenses in 2025 compared to net bad debt recoveries in 2024.

    The decrease in Total revenues for the fourth quarter was driven by lower System-wide Sales. For the full year, the increase in Total revenues was primarily driven by the inclusion of results from Popeyes restaurants acquired in the Carrols Acquisition for the full year period in 2025 compared to a partial period in 2024.

    Adjusted Operating Income for the fourth quarter remained relatively consistent with the prior year period. For the full year, the increase in Adjusted Operating Income was primarily driven by a decrease in Segment G&A largely due to lower compensation-related expenses.

    (a)

    System-wide Sales Growth is calculated on a constant currency basis and therefore will not recalculate to the percentage change in System-wide Sales, which is reported on a nominal basis

    The increase in Total revenues for the fourth quarter and full year was primarily driven by higher royalties from Burger King and Popeyes restaurants resulting from increased System-wide Sales, partially offset by the absence of $9 million and $37 million of revenues, respectively, from BK China, which were recognized in 2024 but not 2025 as a result of the BK China Acquisition. Results in both periods were also impacted by a favorable FX Impact. Excluding the FX Impact, Total revenues increased by $14 million and $53 million for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively.

    The increase in Adjusted Operating Income for the fourth quarter and full year was primarily driven by revenue growth and lower Segment F&P expenses primarily driven by a decrease in net bad debt expenses. Results in both periods also benefited from a favorable FX Impact. Excluding the FX Impact, Adjusted Operating Income increased by $37 million and $72 million for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively.

    (a)

    Restaurant occupancy and other expenses include intersegment royalties and property expense of $29 million and $112 million during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, and $28 million and $71 million during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, which are eliminated in consolidation.

    (b)

    Advertising expenses and other services include intersegment advertising expenses and tech fees of $22 million and $85 million during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, and $19 million and $47 million during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, which are eliminated in consolidation.

    The increase in Total revenues for the fourth quarter was primarily driven by Comparable Sales growth as well as $14 million of incremental revenue recognized by Carrols Burger King restaurants due to three additional operating days in 2025 compared to 2024 as a result of aligning Carrols' and RBI's fiscal year periods. The increase in Total revenues for the full year reflects twelve months of results during 2025 compared to a partial period during 2024.

    The decrease in Adjusted Operating Income for the fourth quarter was primarily driven by an increase in Company restaurant expenses due to higher commodity costs, primarily beef, and higher restaurant wages. Additionally, Advertising expenses and other services increased due to an increase in the advertising fund contribution rate from Carrols Burger King restaurants, consistent with the rate increase for the rest of the Burger King US system. Segment G&A increased as Popeyes China and Firehouse Brazil continue to scale. These factors were partially offset by revenue growth, including a $2 million flow through to Adjusted Operating Income as a result of the alignment of fiscal year periods. Adjusted Operating Income for the full year remained consistent with the prior year.

    Key Operating Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Key Operating Metrics

    Key performance indicators ("KPIs") are shown for RBI's Five Franchisor Segments. The KPIs for the Carrols Burger King restaurants are included in the BK segment and KPIs for the PLK China, BK China, and FHS Brazil restaurants are included in the INTL segment.

    • 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 on a constant currency basis, which means the results exclude the effect of foreign currency translation ("FX Impact"). We calculate the FX Impact by translating prior year results at current year monthly average exchange rates. System-wide Sales is reported on a nominal basis.
    • Comparable Sales refers to the percentage change in restaurant sales in one period from the same prior year period on a constant currency basis for restaurants that have been open for an initial consecutive period, typically at least 13 months. Additionally, if a restaurant is closed for a significant portion of a month, the restaurant is excluded from the monthly Comparable Sales calculation.
    • 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 over 95% of 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 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" and we believe these are helpful to build brand awareness, test new concepts and provide convenience in certain markets.
    • Total Capex and Cash Inducements refers to the sum of payments for additions to property and equipment, tenant inducements paid to franchisees, other cash inducements (included in changes in other long-term assets and liabilities), and increase (decrease) in accruals for additions to property and equipment.

    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. Total Capex and Cash Inducements is an indicator of the capital intensity of our business.

    Non-GAAP Measures

    Below, we define non-GAAP financial measures, provide a reconciliation of each 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. We believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in assessing our operating performance and liquidity. 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 expenses incurred in connection with the Carrols Acquisition, the PLK China Acquisition and the BK China Acquisition, consisting primarily of professional fees, compensation related expenses and integration costs ("RH and BK China Transaction costs") and (ii) 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 or trends of our core operations. AOI is used by management to measure operating performance of the business, excluding these non-cash and other specifically identified items. AOI, as defined above, also represents our measure of segment income for each of our operating segments.

    Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings (net income or loss from continuing operations) before interest expense, net, (gain) loss on early extinguishment of debt, income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations, and depreciation and amortization 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) and is used by management to measure leverage.

    Segment G&A is defined as general and administrative expenses excluding RH and BK China Transaction costs and Corporate restructuring and advisory fees. Segment G&A (excluding RH) is defined as Segment G&A for our Five Franchisor Segments.

    Segment F&P Expenses is defined as franchise and property expenses excluding franchise agreement amortization ("FAA") and reacquired franchise rights amortization as a result of acquisition accounting.

    Adjusted Net Income is defined as Net income from continuing operations 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 Interest Expense, net 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.

    Net Leverage is defined as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA. This metric is an operating performance measure that we believe provides 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, Income from Operations growth, Adjusted Operating Income growth, Net 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 the results of our RH segment. With respect to Adjusted Diluted EPS, growth on an organic basis also excludes the impact of incremental debt incurred as part of the Carrols transaction. 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 given the Company's plans to refranchise the vast majority of the Carrols Burger King restaurants and to find a new partner for PLK China and new investors for FHS Brazil in the future. We calculate the impact of FX movements by translating prior year results at current year monthly average exchange rates.

    Free Cash Flow ("FCF") is the total of Net cash provided by operating activities minus Payments for property and equipment. FCF 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 and it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures. 

    We are not currently able to reconcile our forward-looking non-GAAP measures because we cannot predict the timing and amounts of certain important components of estimated operating income and general and administrative expenses, including the impact of equity method investments and other operating expenses or income from non-recurring projects and non-operating activities, which could significantly impact GAAP results.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Footnotes to Reconciliation Tables

    (1)

    Represents share-based compensation expense associated with equity awards for the periods indicated; also includes the portion of annual non-cash incentive compensation expense that eligible employees elected to receive or are expected to elect to receive as common equity in lieu of their 2025 and 2024 cash bonus, respectively.





    (2)

    Represents (i) (income) loss from equity method investments and (ii) cash distributions received from our equity method investments. Cash distributions received from our equity method investments are included in Adjusted Operating Income which is our measure of segment income.





    (3)

    The increase in our US GAAP effective tax rate was primarily driven by a decrease in our net deferred tax assets in connection with intra-group reorganizations (which we expect to have a favorable impact to the rate in 2026), unfavorable impacts of OECD Pillar II guidance issued during 2025, the mix of income from multiple jurisdictions, and internal financing arrangements.  The intra-group reorganizations and the OECD guidance did not have an impact on the adjusted income tax expense or adjusted effective tax rate





    (4)

    Represents loss on early extinguishment of debt and interest expense. Interest expense included in this amount represents non-cash interest expense related to amounts reclassified from accumulated comprehensive income (loss) into interest expense in connection with restructured interest rate swaps.





    (5)

    Adjusted income tax expense includes the tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments and is calculated using our statutory tax rate in the jurisdiction in which the costs were incurred.
