RESTAURANT BRANDS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Description of Business and Organization

Restaurant Brands International Limited Partnership (“Partnership”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a Canadian limited partnership. We franchise and operate quick service restaurants serving premium coffee and other beverage and food products under the Tim Hortons® brand (“Tim Hortons” or “TH”), fast food hamburgers principally under the Burger King® brand (“Burger King” or “BK”), ~~and~~ chicken under the Popeyes® brand (“Popeyes” or “PLK”) and sandwiches under the Firehouse Subs® brand (“Firehouse” or “FHS”). We are one of the world’s largest quick service restaurant, or QSR, companies as measured by total number of restaurants. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we franchised or owned ~~5,065~~5,320 Tim Hortons restaurants, ~~18,776~~19,266 Burger King restaurants, 3,771 Popeyes restaurants and ~~3,562 Popeyes~~1,219 Firehouse Subs restaurants, for a total of ~~27,403~~29,576 restaurants, and operate in more than 100 countries. Approximately 100% of current system-wide restaurants are franchised.

We are a subsidiary of Restaurant Brands International Inc. (“RBI”). RBI is our sole general partner, and as such, RBI has the exclusive right, power and authority to manage, control, administer and operate the business and affairs and to make decisions regarding the undertaking and business of Partnership in accordance with the partnership agreement of Partnership (“partnership agreement”) and applicable laws.

All references to “$” or “dollars” are to the currency of the United States unless otherwise indicated. All references to “Canadian dollars” or “C$” are to the currency of Canada unless otherwise indicated.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, the Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and Canadian securities regulatory authorities on February 23, ~~2021.~~2022.

The Financial Statements include our accounts and the accounts of entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, the usual condition of which is ownership of a majority voting interest. ~~All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.~~ Investments in other affiliates that are owned 50% or less where we have significant influence are accounted for by the equity method. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We also consider for consolidation entities in which we have certain interests, where the controlling financial interest may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests. Such an entity, known as a variable interest entity (“VIE”), is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that possesses the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that are significant to it. Our maximum exposure to loss resulting from involvement with VIEs is attributable to accounts and notes receivable balances, outstanding loan guarantees and future lease payments, where applicable.

As our franchise and master franchise arrangements provide the franchise and master franchise entities the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance, we do not consider ourselves the primary beneficiary of any such entity that might be a VIE.

Tim Hortons has historically entered into certain arrangements in which an operator acquires the right to operate a restaurant, but Tim Hortons owns the restaurant’s assets. We perform an analysis to determine if the legal entity in which operations are conducted is a VIE and consolidate a VIE entity if we also determine Tim Hortons is the entity’s primary beneficiary (“Restaurant VIEs”). As of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we determined that we are the primary beneficiary of 5045 and 3846 Restaurant VIEs, respectively, and accordingly, have consolidated the results of operations, assets and liabilities, and cash flows of these Restaurant VIEs in our Financial Statements. Material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Table of Contents

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the Financial Statements. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP and related rules and regulations of the SEC requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable and accounts and drafts payable approximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these amounts.

Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying Financial Statements and notes to the Financial Statements have been reclassified in order to be comparable with the current year ~~classifications.~~classification. These consist of the ~~quarter and year to date June 30, 2020~~year-to-date March 31, 2021 reclassification of ~~advertising fund contributions~~technology fee revenues from Franchise and property revenues to Advertising revenues and ~~advertising fund~~other services and technology expenses from ~~Selling, general~~General and administrative expenses to Advertising expenses ~~with General~~ and ~~administrative expenses now presented separately. Depreciation and amortization expenses related to the advertising funds~~other services, both of which were not significant for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2020 have also been reclassified from Franchise and property expenses to Advertising expenses.~~March 31, 2021. These reclassifications did not arise as a result of any changes to accounting policies and relate entirely to presentation with no effect on previously reported net income.

Note 3. New Accounting Pronouncements

~~Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes~~ – In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and by clarifying and amending existing guidance applicable to accounting for income taxes. ~~The amendment is effective commencing in 2021 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this new guidance in 2021 did not have a material impact on our Financial Statements.~~

Accounting Relief for the Transition Away from LIBOR and Certain other Reference Rates – In March 2020 and as clarified in January 2021, the ~~FASB~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This amendment is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The expedients and exceptions provided by this new guidance do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationships. ~~We are currently evaluating~~During the ~~impact that~~third quarter of 2021, we adopted certain of the expedients as it relates to hedge accounting as certain of our debt agreements and hedging relationships bear interest at variable rates, primarily U.S. dollar LIBOR. The adoption of and future elections under this new guidance ~~will~~did not and are not expected to have a material impact on our Financial ~~Statements~~Statements. We will continue to monitor the discontinuance of LIBOR on our debt agreements and ~~have not adopted any of the transition relief available under the new guidance as of June 30, 2021.~~hedging relationships.

Lessors—Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments – In July 2021, the FASB issued guidance that requires lessors to classify and account for a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate as an operating lease if (a) the lease would have been classified as a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease in accordance with lease classification criteria and (b) the lessor would have otherwise recognized a day-one loss. This amendment is effective in 2022 with early adoption permitted. This guidance may be applied either retrospectively to leases that commenced or were modified on or after the adoption of lease guidance we adopted in 2019 or prospectively to leases that commence or are modified on or after the date that this new guidance is applied. ~~We are currently evaluating the impact that the~~The adoption of this new guidance ~~will~~during the three months ended March 31, 2022 did not have a material impact on our Financial Statements.

Note 4. Firehouse Acquisition

On December 15, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Firehouse Subs (the “Firehouse Acquisition”) which complements RBI's existing portfolio. Like RBI's other brands, the Firehouse Subs brand is managed independently, while benefiting from the global scale and resources of RBI. The Firehouse Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting.

Total consideration in connection with the Firehouse Acquisition was $1,018 million, subject to potential further post-closing adjustments. The consideration was funded through cash on hand and $533 million of incremental borrowings under our senior secured term loan facility.

Fees and expenses related to the Firehouse Acquisition and related financings (“FHS Transaction costs”) totaled $1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, consisting of professional fees, compensation related expenses and integration costs which are classified as general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we adjusted our preliminary estimate of the fair value of net assets acquired. The preliminary allocation of consideration to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired is presented in the table below (in millions):


	December 15, 2021
Total current assets	$	21
Property and equipment	4
Firehouse Subs brand	768
Operating lease assets	9
Total liabilities	(48)
Total identifiable net assets	754
Goodwill	264
Total consideration	$	1,018

The adjustments to the preliminary estimate of net assets acquired and a decrease in total consideration resulted in a corresponding increase in estimated goodwill due to the following changes to preliminary estimates of fair values and allocation of purchase price (in millions):


	Increase (Decrease) in Goodwill
Change in:
Operating lease assets	$	(9)
Total liabilities	35
Total consideration	(15)
Total increase in goodwill	$	11

The purchase price allocation reflects preliminary fair value estimates based on management's analysis, including preliminary work performed by third-party valuation specialists. We will continue to obtain information to assist in determining the fair value of net assets acquired during the measurement period.

The Firehouse Subs brand has been assigned an indefinite life and, therefore, will not be amortized, but rather tested annually for impairment. Goodwill attributable to the Firehouse Acquisition will be amortized and deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is considered to represent the value associated with the workforce and synergies anticipated to be realized as a combined company. We have not yet allocated goodwill related to the Firehouse Acquisition to reporting units for goodwill impairment testing purposes. Goodwill will be allocated to reporting units when the purchase price allocation is finalized during the measurement period.

The results of operations of Firehouse Subs have been included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Firehouse Acquisition is not material to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and therefore, supplemental pro forma financial information for 2021 related to the acquisition is not included herein.

Note 5.6. Revenue Recognition

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue resulting from initial and renewal franchise fees paid by franchisees, as well as upfront fees paid by master franchisees, which are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying agreement. We may recognize unamortized upfront fees when a contract with a franchisee or master franchisee is modified and is accounted for as a termination of the existing contract. We classify these contract liabilities as Other liabilities, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table reflects the change in contract liabilities between December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 (in millions):

Note 6.7. Earnings per Unit

Partnership uses the two-class method in the computation of earnings per unit. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, RBI, as the holder of the Class A common units, is entitled to receive distributions from Partnership in an amount equal to the aggregate dividends payable by RBI to holders of RBI common shares, and the holders of Class B exchangeable limited partnership units (the “Partnership exchangeable units”) are entitled to receive distributions from Partnership in an amount per unit equal to the dividends payable by RBI on each RBI common share. Partnership’s net income available to common unitholders is allocated between the Class A common units and Partnership exchangeable units on a fully-distributed basis and reflects residual net income after noncontrolling interests. Basic and diluted earnings per Class A common unit is determined by dividing net income allocated to Class A common unit holders by the weighted average number of Class A common units outstanding for the period. Basic and diluted earnings per Partnership exchangeable unit is determined by dividing net income allocated to the Partnership exchangeable units by the weighted average number of Partnership exchangeable units outstanding during the period.

There are no dilutive securities for Partnership as RBI equity awards will not affect the number of Class A common units or Partnership exchangeable units outstanding. However, the issuance of shares by RBI in future periods will affect the allocation of net income attributable to common unitholders between Partnership’s Class A common units and Partnership exchangeable units.

The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per unit calculations (in millions, except per unit amounts):


		Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,					Three Months Ended March 31,

Our effective tax rate was ~~(8.1)% and 2.6%~~16.6% for the three ~~and six~~ months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate was primarily the result of net reserve releases of $89 million and $87 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, related to expiring statutes of limitation for certain prior tax years which reduced our effective tax rate by approximately 24.7% and 12.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.March 31, 2022.

Note ~~13.~~14. Derivative Instruments

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We enter into derivative instruments for risk management purposes, including derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, derivatives designated as net investment hedges and those utilized as economic hedges. We use derivatives to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates.

Interest Rate Swaps

At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had outstanding receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $3,500 million to hedge the variability in the interest payments on a portion of our senior secured term loan facilities (the “Term Loan Facilities”), including any subsequent refinancing or replacement of the Term Loan Facilities, beginning ~~October~~August 31, ~~2019~~2021 through the termination date of ~~November 19, 2026.~~October 31, 2028. Additionally, at ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we also had outstanding receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $500 million to hedge the variability in the interest payments on a portion of our Term Loan Facilities effective September 30, 2019 through the termination date of September 30, 2026. At inception, all of these interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges for hedge accounting. The unrealized changes in market value are recorded in AOCI and reclassified into ~~earnings~~interest expense during the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

During ~~2019,~~2021, we extended the maturity of our $3,500 million receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps. The extension of the term resulted in a de-designation and re-designation of the interest rate swaps and the swaps continue to be accounted for as a cash flow hedge for hedge accounting. In connection with the de-designation, we recognized a net unrealized loss of $143 million in AOCI and this amount gets reclassified into Interest expense, net as the original forecasted transaction affects earnings. The amount of pre-tax losses in connection with this net unrealized loss in AOCI as of March 31, 2022 that we expect to be reclassified into interest expense within the next 12 months is $28 million.

We had previously extended the term of our ~~previous~~ $3,500 million receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps ~~to align the maturity date of the new interest rate swaps with the new maturity date of our Term Loan B.~~in 2019. The extension of the term resulted in a de-designation and re-designation of the interest rate swaps and the swaps continue to be accounted for as a cash flow hedge for hedge accounting. In connection with the de-designation, we recognized a net unrealized loss of $213 million in AOCI and this amount gets reclassified into Interest expense, net as the original forecasted transaction affects earnings. The amount of pre-tax losses in connection with this net unrealized loss in AOCI as of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 that we expect to be reclassified into interest expense within the next 12 months is $50 million.

During 2015, we settled certain interest rate swaps and recognized a net unrealized loss of $85 million in AOCI at the date of settlement. This amount gets reclassified into Interest expense, net as the original hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The amount of pre-tax losses in AOCI as of June 30, 2021 that we expect to be reclassified into interest expense within the next 12 months is $5 million.

Cross-Currency Rate Swaps

To protect the value of our investments in our foreign operations against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we hedge a portion of our net investment in one or more of our foreign subsidiaries by using cross-currency rate swaps. At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had outstanding cross-currency rate swap contracts between the Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar and the Euro and U.S. dollar that have been designated as net investment hedges of a portion of our equity in foreign operations in those currencies. The component of the gains and losses on our net investment in these designated foreign operations driven by changes in foreign exchange rates are economically partly offset by movements in the fair value of our cross-currency swap contracts. The fair value of the swaps is calculated each period with changes in fair value reported in AOCI, net of tax. Such amounts will remain in AOCI until the complete or substantially complete liquidation of our investment in the underlying foreign operations.

At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had outstanding fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swaps to partially hedge the net investment in our Canadian subsidiaries. At inception, these cross-currency rate swaps were designated as a hedge and are accounted for as net investment hedges. These swaps are contracts to exchange quarterly fixed-rate interest payments we make on the Canadian dollar notional amount of C$6,754 million for quarterly fixed-rate interest payments we receive on the U.S. dollar notional amount of $5,000 million through the maturity date of June 30, 2023.

Table of Contents

At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had outstanding cross-currency rate swaps in which we pay quarterly fixed-rate interest payments on the Euro notional value of €1,108 million and receive quarterly fixed-rate interest payments on the U.S. dollar notional value of $1,200 million. At inception, these cross-currency rate swaps were designated as a hedge and are accounted for as a net investment hedge. During 2018, we extended the term of the swaps from March 31, 2021 to the maturity date of February 17, 2024. The extension of the term resulted in a re-designation of the hedge and the swaps continue to be accounted for as a net investment hedge. Additionally, at ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we also had outstanding cross-currency rate swaps in which we receive quarterly fixed-rate interest payments on the U.S. dollar notional value of $400 million, entered during 2018, and $500 million, entered during 2019, through the maturity date of February 17, ~~2024.~~2024 and $150 million, entered during 2021, through the maturity date of October 31, 2028. At inception, these cross-currency rate swaps were designated as a hedge and are accounted for as a net investment hedge.

The fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swaps hedging Canadian dollar and Euro net investments utilized the forward method of effectiveness assessment prior to March 15, 2018. On March 15, 2018, we de-designated and subsequently re-designated the outstanding fixed to fixed cross-currency rate swaps to prospectively use the spot method of hedge effectiveness assessment. Additionally, as a result of adopting new hedge accounting guidance during 2018, we elected to exclude the interest component (the “Excluded Component”) from the accounting hedge without affecting net investment hedge accounting and elected to amortize the Excluded Component over the life of the derivative instrument. The amortization of the Excluded Component is recognized in Interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The change in fair value that is not related to the Excluded Component is recorded in AOCI and will be reclassified to earnings when the foreign subsidiaries are sold or substantially liquidated.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

We use foreign exchange derivative instruments to manage the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on U.S. dollar purchases and payments, such as coffee purchases made by our Canadian Tim Hortons operations. At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had outstanding forward currency contracts to manage this risk in which we sell Canadian dollars and buy U.S. dollars with a notional value of ~~$143~~$203 million with maturities to ~~August 2022.~~May 2023. We have designated these instruments as cash flow hedges, and as such, the unrealized changes in market value of effective hedges are recorded in AOCI and are reclassified into earnings during the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

Credit Risk

By entering into derivative contracts, we are exposed to counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is in an asset position, the counterparty has a liability to us, which creates credit risk for us. We attempt to minimize this risk by selecting counterparties with investment grade credit ratings and regularly monitoring our market position with each counterparty.

Credit-Risk Related Contingent Features

Our derivative instruments do not contain any credit-risk related contingent features.

Each plaintiff seeks injunctive relief and damages for himself or herself and other members of the class. On March 24, 2020, the Court granted BKC’s motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim and on April 20, 2020 the plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to amend their complaint. On April 27, 2020, BKC filed a motion opposing the motion for leave to amend. The court denied the plaintiffs motion for leave to amend their complaint in August 2020 and the plaintiffs ~~are appealing~~appealed this ruling. Oral arguments ~~are scheduled~~ for the appeal were heard in September ~~2021.~~2021 and the parties await a ruling on the appeal.

The complaint alleges that the shelf registration statement used in connection with such offering contained certain false and/or misleading statements or omissions. The complaint seeks, among other relief, class certification of the lawsuit, unspecified compensatory damages, rescission, pre-judgement and post-judgement interest, costs and expenses. On December 18, 2020 the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and on February 16, 2021 RBI filed a motion to dismiss the complaint.

Under the Burger King brand, we operate in the fast food hamburger restaurant category of the quick service segment of the restaurant industry. Under the Popeyes brand, we operate in the chicken category of the quick service segment of the restaurant industry. Under the Firehouse Subs brand, we operate in the specialty subs category of the quick service segment of the restaurant industry.

Subsequent to ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the RBI board of directors declared a cash dividend of ~~$0.53~~$0.54 per RBI common share, which will be paid on ~~October 5, 2021~~July 6, 2022 to RBI common shareholders of record on ~~September 21, 2021.~~June 22, 2022. Partnership will make a distribution to RBI as holder of Class A common units in the amount of the aggregate dividends declared and paid by RBI on RBI common shares. Partnership will also make a distribution in respect of each Partnership exchangeable unit in the amount of ~~$0.53~~$0.54 per Partnership exchangeable unit, and the record date and payment date for such distribution will be the same as the record date and payment date for the cash dividend per RBI common share set forth above.

~~On July 28, 2021, the RBI board of directors approved a share repurchase authorization that allows RBI to purchase up to $1,000 million of RBI common shares until August 10, 2023.~~

~~Issuance of Senior Notes and Redemption of Senior Notes~~

~~As discussed in Note 10,~~ ~~Long-Term Debt~~, on July 6, 2021, the Borrowers issued the Notes.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” of this report.

The following discussion includes information regarding future financial performance and plans, targets, aspirations, expectations, and objectives of management, which constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities laws as described in further detail under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” set forth below. Actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Please refer to the risks and further discussion in the “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”). However, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also contains certain non-GAAP financial measures to assist readers in understanding our performance. Non-GAAP financial measures either exclude or include amounts that are not reflected in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, we have provided the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, a reconciliation to GAAP measures and a discussion of the reasons why management believes this information is useful to it and may be useful to investors.

Operating results for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other quarter or for the fiscal year and our key business measures, as discussed below, may decrease for any future period. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “Partnership”, “we”, “us” or “our” are to Restaurant Brands International Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries, collectively.

Overview

We are one of the world’s largest quick service restaurant (“QSR”) companies with ~~approximately $33~~over $35 billion in annual system-wide sales and over ~~27,000~~29,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries as of ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. Our Tim Hortons®, Burger King®, Popeyes®,and ~~Popeyes®~~Firehouse Subs® brands have similar franchised business models with complementary daypart mixes and product platforms. Our ~~three~~four iconic brands are managed independently while benefiting from global scale and sharing of best practices.

Tim Hortons restaurants are quick service restaurants with a menu that includes premium blend coffee, tea, espresso-based hot and cold specialty drinks, fresh baked goods, including donuts, Timbits®, bagels, muffins, cookies and pastries, grilled paninis, classic sandwiches, wraps, soups, and more. Burger King restaurants are quick service restaurants that feature flame-grilled hamburgers, chicken, and other specialty sandwiches, french fries, soft drinks, and other affordably-priced food items. Popeyes restaurants are quick service restaurants featuring a unique “Louisiana” style menu that includes fried chicken, fried shrimp, and other seafood, red beans and rice, and other regional items. Firehouse Subs restaurants are quick service restaurants featuring hot and hearty subs piled high with quality meats and cheese as well as chopped salads, chili and soups, signature and other sides, soft drinks and local specialties.

WeCommencing upon the acquisition of Firehouse Subs in December 2021, we have ~~three~~four operating and reportable segments: (1) Tim Hortons (“TH”); (2) Burger King (“BK”); ~~and~~ (3) Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen (“PLK”); and (4) Firehouse Subs (“FHS”). Our business generates revenue from the following sources: (i) franchise and advertising revenues and other services, consisting primarily of royalties and advertising fund contributions based on a percentage of sales reported by franchise restaurants and franchise fees paid by franchisees; (ii) property revenues from properties we lease or sublease to franchisees; and (iii) sales at restaurants owned by us (“Company restaurants”). In addition, our TH business generates revenue from sales to franchisees related to our supply chain operations, including manufacturing, procurement, warehousing, and distribution, as well as sales to retailers.

In September 2021, we announced targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, as approved by the Science Based Targets initiative, as well as a commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. While most of the impact is from scope 3 emissions that are not under our direct control, reaching these targets will require us to devote resources to support changes by suppliers and franchisees.

COVID-19

The global crisis resulting from the spread of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) impacted our global restaurant operations for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020. While~~though in 2022 the impact ~~of COVID-19 on system-wide sales growth, system-wide sales, comparable sales and net restaurant growth~~ was ~~severe for~~more modest than in the prior year.

During the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2020, in the 2021 periods these metrics were affected to a lesser extent for the entire period, with variations among brands~~March 31, 2022 and ~~regions. During 2020 and the six months ended June 30,~~ 2021, substantially all ~~TH, BK and PLK~~ restaurants remained open, ~~in North America,~~ some with limited operations, such as drive-thru, takeout and delivery (where applicable), reduced, if any, dine-in capacity, and/or restrictions on hours of operation. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, on average 96% of our restaurants were open worldwide, including approximately 97% of our restaurants in North America, approximately 96% of our restaurants in Asia Pacific, approximately 94% of our restaurants in Europe, Middle East and Africa, and approximately 91% of our restaurants in Latin America. By contrast, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, on average 81% of our restaurants were open worldwide, including approximately 94% of our restaurants in North America, approximately 87% of our restaurants

~~Table of Contents~~

~~in Asia Pacific, approximately 57% of our restaurants in Europe, Middle East and Africa, and approximately 56% of our restaurants in Latin America.~~ Certain jurisdictions, such as Canada, Europe, and Brazil, that had eased restrictions during 2020, re-imposed lockdowns and curfews in the six months ended June 30, 2021. In comparison, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, a number of other markets periodically required temporary ~~complete~~ closures while implementing ~~lock-down~~government mandated lockdown orders. For example, while most regions have eased restrictions, increases in cases and new variants at the beginning of 2022 caused certain markets to re-impose temporary restrictions as a result of government mandates. We expect local conditions to continue to dictate limitations on restaurant operations, capacity, and hours of operation.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, COVID-19 contributed to labor challenges, which in some regions resulted in reduced operating hours and service modes at select restaurants as well as supply chain pressures.

With the pandemic affecting consumer behavior, the importance of digital sales, including delivery, has grown. We expect to continue to support enhancements of our digital and marketing capabilities.

War in Ukraine

Burger King entered Russia ten years ago through a joint venture, of which we own a 15% minority stake that we've recently announced intentions to dispose. Burger King is our only brand with restaurants in Russia, and in 2021, represented 2.0% of consolidated system-wide sales, 2.9% of consolidated restaurant count excluding Firehouse Subs, 4.5% of consolidated net restaurant growth, 0.6% of consolidated revenues, and 1.7% of consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. During the first quarter of 2022, we shared a number of actions that we have taken to date as a result of the tragic events related to Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine. We have suspended all corporate support for the Russian market, including operations, marketing, and supply chain support in addition to refusing approvals for new investment and expansion. While we currently include Russia within reported key business metrics, we do not ~~know the full future impact COVID-19 will have on our business, we~~ expect to ~~see a continued impact from COVID-19 on our results~~recognize any profits in ~~2021.~~2022.

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 franchise 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 TH, BK and BKFHS and 17 months or longer for PLK. 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 the results exclude the effect of foreign currency translation (“FX Impact”). For system-wide sales growth and comparable sales, we calculate the FX Impact by translating prior year results at current year monthly average exchange rates.

•Unless otherwise stated, system-wide sales growth, system-wide sales and comparable sales are presented on a system-wide basis, which means they include franchise restaurants and Company restaurants. System-wide results are driven by our franchise restaurants, as approximately 100% of system-wide restaurants are franchised. Franchise sales represent sales at all franchise 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 increase 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.

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 Reconciliations

The table below contains information regarding EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP and may differ from similar captioned measures of other companies in our industry. We believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in assessing our operating performance, as they provide them with the same tools that management uses to evaluate our performance and is 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. EBITDA is defined as earnings (net income or loss) before interest expense, net, 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash generated by operations, and borrowings available under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below). We have used, and may in the future use, our liquidity to make required interest and/or principal payments, to make distributions to RBI for RBI to repurchase its common shares, to repurchase Class B exchangeable limited partnership units of Partnership (“Partnership exchangeable units”), to voluntarily prepay and repurchase our or one of our affiliate’s outstanding debt, to fund ~~our~~acquisitions such as the Firehouse Acquisition and other investing activities, such as capital expenditures and joint ventures, and to make distributions on Class A common units and distributions on the Partnership exchangeable units. As a result of our borrowings, we are highly leveraged. Our liquidity requirements are significant, primarily due to debt service requirements.

As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$1,749 million, working capital of $866~~$895 million and borrowing availability of $998 million under our senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). On July 6, 2021, two of our subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) issued $800 million of 3.875% first lien senior secured notes due January 15, 2028 (the “Notes”). No principal payments are due until maturity and interest is paid semi-annually. The Notes were issued as additional notes under the indenture, dated as of September 24, 2019, (the “2019 3.875% Senior Notes Indenture”) pursuant to which the Borrowers previously issued $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.875% first lien senior secured notes due

January 15, 2028 during 2019 (the “2019 3.875% First Lien Senior Notes” and together with the Notes, the “3.875% First Lien Senior Notes” ). The Notes are treated as a single series with the 2019 3.875% First Lien Senior Notes and have the same terms for all purposes under the 2019 3.875% Senior Notes Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The Notes were priced at 100.250% of their face value. The net proceeds from the offering of the Notes were used to redeem the remaining $775 million principal amount outstanding of the 2017 4.25% Senior Notes on July 15, 2021, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and pay related redemption premiums, fees and expenses. Based on our current level of operations and available cash, we believe our cash flow from operations, combined with our availability under our Revolving Credit Facility, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our current obligations, debt service requirements and capital spending over the next twelve months.

In March 2021, we announced our plan to spend C$80 million in 2021 to support increased advertising and digital advancements at the TH business and supplement advertising fund amounts contributed by franchisees. We commenced our support during the three months ended June 30, 2021, most of which will be spent during the second half of 2021, and are on track to spend the entire amount by the end of 2021.

On July 28, 2021, the RBI board of directors approved a share repurchase authorization wherein RBI may purchase up to $1,000 million of RBI common shares until August 10, 2023. Repurchases under RBI’s authorization will be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. If RBI repurchases any RBI common shares, pursuant to the partnership agreement, Partnership will, immediately prior to such repurchase, make a distribution to RBI on its Class A common units in an amount sufficient for RBI to fund such repurchase. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, RBI repurchased 2,860,002 RBI common shares on the open market for $161 million and Partnership made a distribution to RBI in an amount sufficient for RBI to fund these repurchases. As of March 31, 2022, RBI had $288 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization.

Additionally, for the periods ending September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021, to determine compliance with the net first lien senior secured leverage ratio, we are permitted to annualize the Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the three months ending September 30, 2021 and six months ending December 31, 2021, respectively, in lieu of calculating the ratio based on Adjusted EBITDA for the prior four quarters. There were no other material changes to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

The interest rate applicable to borrowings under our Term Loan A and Revolving Credit Facility is, at our option, either (i) a base rate, subject to a floor of 1.00%, plus an applicable margin varying from 0.00% to 0.50%, or (ii) Adjusted Term SOFR (Adjusted Term SOFR is calculated as Term SOFR plus a ~~Eurocurrency rate,~~0.10% adjustment), subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus an applicable margin varying between 0.75% to 1.50%, in each case, determined by reference to a net first lien leverage based pricing grid.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

(e) On April 11, 2022, the Compensation Committee approved discretionary awards of 149,452, 124,543, 49,817, 59,780 and 39,853 performance share units, or “PSUs”, to Messrs. Cil, Kobza, Dunnigan, Shear and Curtis, respectively. The performance metrics for the PSUs are based on three-year targets for organic Adjusted EBITDA (weighted 50%), net restaurant growth (weighted 20%) and comparable sales (weighted 30%), in each case on a consolidated basis. The PSUs can be earned based on these components at 50% for threshold performance and at 150% for maximum performance. Additionally, the number of PSUs earned is subject to a multiplier based on the relative total shareholder return of our common shares on the NYSE compared to the performance of the S&P 500 for the period from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2024. The Compensation Committee established this multiplier to be 50% below the 25th percentile, 100% between the 40th and 60th percentile and 150% at or above the 75th percentile, with linear interpolation between these multipliers. This allows the final payout to range from 25% for threshold performance to 225% at maximum performance. Once earned, the PSUs will cliff vest on February 25, 2025. In addition, if an executive’s service to RBI is terminated (other than due to death or disability) prior to February 25, 2024, he or she will forfeit the entire award. A copy of the form of Performance Award Agreement between RBI and each of the named executive officers is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.36(f). This summary is qualified in its entirety to the full text of the Performance Award Agreement.
