Overview
The past year has seen successful execution of Restaurant Brands’ major growth strategies as the company
continued to expand its global reach through the acquisition of additional KFC stores in Australia and the
settlement of the Hawaiian acquisition. That initiative not only added a new geography, but also a new brand
with 37 Taco Bell stores (together with 45 Pizza Huts) being brought into the Restaurant Brands’ network.
The continued expansion into the Australian market with the acquisition of an additional 18 KFC stores in
New South Wales, brought total store numbers there to 61.
Integration of the recently acquired Australian stores and the Hawaiian business into the wider Restaurant
Brands Group has been relatively seamless with local management aligned with and actively pursuing the
company’s growth strategies in each of their individual markets.
The company’s recent acquisitions are delivering additional diversification with nearly half of FY18 Group
sales now generated offshore. Pleasingly, this expansion growth has been accomplished whilst also
continuing to achieve significant sales and earnings growth in the New Zealand market and from existing
stores in Australia.

RESTAURANT BRANDS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
Group Operating Results
Directors are pleased to report that Restaurant Brands has produced a net profit after tax (NPAT) for the
period ended 26 February 2018 (FY18) of $35.5 million, up 36.6% on the reported NPAT of $26.0 million for
the prior year.
After allowing for the impact of non-trading items, the underlying NPAT was $40.4 million, up $9.8 million or
+32.0% on prior year.
Chairman Ted van Arkel said “This level of profitability is a new record for the company and more importantly
the growth is not only coming out of new acquisitions as existing operations are also delivering solid results.”
Total brand sales for the Group were a record $740.8 million, up $243.6 million or +49.0% on FY17 with the
benefit of $167.5 million in additional sales generated from PIR in Hawaii from 7 March 2017. KFC
operations in Australia delivered a strong performance with sales up $54.7 million, from both organic growth
and the acquisition of 18 stores during the year. The New Zealand business also delivered record sales of
$421.4 million, up 5.4%. Other revenue (primarily sales to independent franchisees) totalled $25.5 million,
bringing total operating revenue to $766.3 million, up $248.7 million on prior year.
Ted van Arkel added “The board and I are delighted with the progress of Restaurant Brands towards its
stated target of $1 billion in annual revenues. Sales have almost doubled over the past two years and there
is every indication of continued momentum of sales growth.”
Combined brand EBITDA of $121.9 million was up $35.8 million or +41.5% on prior year, with a $24.1 million
contribution from the newly acquired Hawaiian operations.
Restaurant Brands’ store numbers now total 314, comprising 171 in New Zealand, 82 in Hawaii and 61
stores in Australia.
New Zealand Operations
New Zealand operating revenue was $446.8 million, up $26.4 million or +6.3% on FY17.
Total store sales were $421.4 million, an increase of $21.4 million or +5.4% on last year, delivering EBITDA
of $75.8 million, a $4.6 million or +6.5% increase on FY17. This was largely as a result of the continued
strong performance of the KFC business.
New Zealand operations produced earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) (before non-trading items) of
$44.7 million, up 18.6% on the prior year.

KFC New Zealand continues to be a key driver of overall performance and this brand has had another
excellent year. Sales were up 7.8% to $319.6 million, with same store sales up 6.2%. Successful product
promotions and the introduction of a delivery service in selected stores contributed to this strong sales
performance.
Despite some input cost pressures, margins remained strong, with an EBITDA margin of 20.6% of sales
being delivered in the period. In dollar terms, EBITDA totalled $66.0 million, up 7.4% on last year’s result.
KFC in New Zealand reached a new milestone of 100 total network stores with company-owned store
numbers increasing by two to a total of 94.
The brand opened a new format store in Fort Street, Auckland in September. This new concept store design
was customised for a central city environment with no drive-through facility. It has significantly outperformed
expectations and is likely to be the prototype for a number of similar central city stores in both New Zealand
and Australia. The other store opening during the year was at Christchurch Airport and this is also
performing above expectations.

Transformation of the Pizza Hut network in New Zealand to a master franchise model continues on plan.
The commencement of an aggressive new store build programme during the year has progressed the
expansion of the independent franchisee network.
This continued growth saw total brand sales sales climb to $100.7 million for FY18, up $9.1 million or
+10.0% on prior year.
During the period three new company stores were opened in Tamatea, Glenfield and Te Ngae and one new
franchisee store opened in Howick. The company sold two existing stores to independent franchisees. The
number of company owned stores therefore increased by one to 36 while the number of independent
franchisee stores has increased to 61, bringing the total Pizza Hut network to 97 stores.
In company owned stores, sales were up $0.6 million to $41.1 million, with same store sales up 8.1%.
Restaurant Brands’ Pizza Hut store earnings were $3.1 million (7.4% of sales), down $1.0 million or 24.6%
on last year, reflecting some margin pressures, particularly in relation to increased labour rates and
ingredient costs.

Note: all Starbucks Coffee stores are RBD owned
The company’s smallest brand, Starbucks Coffee, produced another consistent result.
Total sales were down marginally on FY17 to $25.8 million, reflecting the reduced store network of 22 stores,
following the closure of the Newmarket and Botany stores in Auckland as a result of leases not being
renewed because of landlord re-developments. Same store sales were positive at +6.3%.
Margins improved slightly with continuing sales leverage and store efficiencies. The brand achieved an
EBITDA of $4.8 million (18.6% of sales), up slightly on FY17 despite the reduced number of stores.

Note: All Carl’s Jr. stores are RBD owned
Progress continues to be made in building Carl’s Jr. into a profitable, sustainable brand in New Zealand; the
focus for FY18 being on generating more profitable sales, rather than driving volume through discounting
and promotional activity.
As a result of these efforts, EBITDA was $2.0 million (5.7% of sales), an increase of $1.0 million or just over
double that in the prior year.
Store numbers remained stable at 19 stores and sales were down 3.9% (-2.6% on a same store basis), as a
result of rolling over FY17 sales promotion activity as well as the opening two new stores in Christchurch in
that year.
Australian Operations
In $NZ terms, the Australian business (operating the KFC brand) contributed total sales of $NZ151.8 million,
store EBITDA of $NZ22.0 million and EBIT of $NZ9.8 million. These results are all significantly up on the
prior year, because of the acquisition of this business having taken place in April 2016, part way through
FY17 as well as additional store acquisitions during FY18.

In $A terms, total sales for the KFC business in Australia were $A139.5 million, up A$47.1 million (or
+50.9%) on last year. This was a function of both the full impact of the acquisition of QSR Pty Limited which
only became effective partway through FY17 and increased store numbers following the acquisition of the
business assets of five stores at the start of this financial year and a further 13 stores in the second half of
FY18. Same store sales increased +4.9%.
Store EBITDA of $A20.2 million (14.5% of sales) was up $A6.0 million or +42.1% on last year.
As part of the Australian market expansion strategy, over the FY18 year Restaurant Brands acquired the
business assets of 18 KFC stores in New South Wales at a total price of $A46.5 million. Five stores were
acquired in March 2017 and the remainder were acquired between October 2017 and January 2018. With
the successful completion of these transactions, together with the opening of one new store early in the third
quarter, the company-owned KFC store network in Australia totalled 61 stores at balance date.
Hawaii Operations
RBD acquired PIR in Hawaii effective 7 March 2017 and the reported trading results are from that date. The
Hawaiian business (which also includes operations in Guam) operates 82 stores under the Taco Bell and
Pizza Hut brands.
In $NZ terms, the newly-acquired Hawaiian operations contributed $NZ167.5 million in revenues, $NZ24.1
million in brand EBITDA and an EBIT of $NZ9.7 million since acquisition.
Total sales in Hawaii in the period since acquisition were $US119.8 million with store level EBITDA of
$US17.2 million. Taco Bell performed ahead of expectations at the time of purchase with Pizza Hut running
slightly below expectations.

Taco Bell is a new brand for the company and is performing very well with total sales to date of $US68.3
million and store-level EBITDA of $US13.9 million (20.3% of sales). A strong promotional pipeline has helped
drive a solid sales performance.
Restaurant Brands has embarked on a store rebuild and refurbishment strategy for these stores following the
same successful programme as undertaken for the KFC business in New Zealand. The one store that has
been transformed to date has delivered same store sales growth of +60%, with a further three stores
scheduled for major refurbishment over the next 18 months.

The Pizza Hut business in Hawaii has integrated well into the Group’s operations.
Total sales were $US51.5 million with store-level EBITDA of $US3.3 million (6.5% of sales). There has been
some margin pressure from participating in US-wide value-led marketing promotions together with some
higher commodity costs and rising direct labour expense.
As with Taco Bell, an asset refurbishment program is planned for the Pizza Hut brand. This will see a move
away from the larger style restaurants into smaller, more cost-effective delivery and carry out (delco) units.
One new delco unit was opened at Pearl City in Honolulu just after balance date and this is trading ahead of
expectations.
Corporate & Other
General and administration (G&A) costs were $34.1 million, up $13.7 million from last year. The increase in
the G&A cost base was due to the Hawaiian acquisition ($7.5 million), the full impact of Australian operations
(purchased part way through FY17 ($1.2 million)), and the new corporate structure established during the
period to meet the demands arising from the changes in size and geography of the Group’s operations.
G&A as a % of total revenue was 4.4%, up from 3.9% in the FY17 year.
Depreciation charges of $28.7 million for FY18 were $6.5 million higher than the prior year, of which the
Hawaiian business accounted for $5.9 million.
Financing costs of $5.6 million were up $3.3 million on prior year reflecting the higher borrowings required to
fund the Hawaiian and Australian acquisitions.
Tax expense was $16.7 million, up $5.6 million on the prior year due to higher reported profit levels. The
effective tax rate of 32.0% reflects the increased proportion of profits that were generated off-shore, and the
(one off) impact of non-trading items, with the average tax rate on earnings (excluding non-trading items) at
29.1%.
Non-trading Items
Non-trading expenditure for the year was $4.8 million, a similar level to the prior year. The FY18 figure
included transaction costs on the PIR acquisition and acquisitions in Australia, listing fees and legal costs
relating to the listing of the company on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and an impairment
(primarily to goodwill) to Carl’s Jr. carrying value in New Zealand. These costs were partially offset by a
realised FX gain arising from the forward contracts used in the PIR Hawaiian acquisition and a gain on sale
of assets in relation to the sale of New Zealand Pizza Hut businesses to independent franchisees and the
sale and leaseback of a KFC store.
Cash Flow & Balance Sheet
The composition of the Group’s balance sheet has been impacted by two significant transactions over the
year; the completion of the acquisition of PIR in Hawaii on 7 March 2017, together with the significant
additional Australian KFC store acquisitions. These transactions, for a total purchase price of $NZ149.9
million and $NZ51.2 million respectively (before settlement adjustments), were funded pri marily through cash
raised from the issue of shares by a renounceable entitlement offer and private placement carried out in
FY17, together with additional debt facilities.
Bank debt at the end of the year was consequently up to $166.8 million compared to $46.5 million at the
previous year end. As at balance date, the Group had bank debt facilities totalling $253 million in place.
Operating cash flows were up $19.9 million to $67.8 million reflecting the Group’s increased profitability.
Net investing cash outflows at $173.3 million (versus $79.0 million last year) primarily reflected the impact of
the Hawaii and Australian acquisitions with a cash impact of $147.5 million (net of bank loans assumed as
part of the transaction). Investing cash inflows for the period were due to $3.8 million received from the sale
of two Pizza Hut stores and the sale and leaseback of a KFC store.
Dividend
Directors have declared a fully imputed final dividend of NZ18.0 cents per ordinary share (prior year NZ13.5 cents),
payable on 22 June 2018 to all shareholders on the register on 1 June 2018. A supplementary dividend of
NZ3.17645 cents per share will be paid to all overseas shareholders at the same time.
“Directors continue to have considerable confidence in the company’s ability to grow both profit and cash flow and
want to reward shareholders for what has been a very good year for Restaurant Brands,” says Chairman Ted van
Arkel.
The dividend reinvestment plan will apply to this dividend. For those participating in the plan, shares will be issued
in lieu of dividend at a discount of 1.5% to the pre-closing 7 day NZX volume-weighted-average price (VWAP).
Listing on the Australian Securities Exchange
In September 2017 Restaurant Brands dual-listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under the ticker
code RBD. This listing has allowed the Company to better engage with its Australian investors and also provides
opportunities to access additional pools of capital that may be required as part of future acquisition strategies.
Outlook
The full effects of two major acquisitions is evident in this year’s financial results with sales almost doubling
over the last two years and NPAT (excluding non-trading items) increasing from $24.2 million to $40.4 million
over the same period. The new management team structure established has created a strong leadership
platform from which Restaurant Brands is well positioned to pursue further international growth opportunities.
From a sound, established position in both the Australian and US (Hawaii) markets the company now has
significant scope to expand further in both these geographies through acquisition, store refurbishments and
organic growth. At the same time, organic growth opportunities within the New Zealand business will be
pursued.
The company is not anticipating any significant change in the economic and competitive environment or
unusual costs in the new financial year. With a consistent performance from the existing store network and
the full year effect of the additional stores acquired in Australia in the second half of the 2018 financial year,
directors expect the company will deliver a NPAT (excluding non-trading items) result for the new financial
year of at least 10% above current year’s results. Further details will be provided at the Annual Shareholders’
Meeting.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
For the 52 week period ended 26 February 2018
The Group results are prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“GAAP”) and comply
with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). These financial statements include non-GAAP financial measures that
are not prepared in accordance with IFRS. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation are as follows:
1. EBITDA before G&A. The Group calculates Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (“EBITDA”)
before G&A (general and administration expenses) by taking net profit before taxation and adding back (or deducting) financing
expenses, non-trading items, depreciation, amortisation and G&A. The Group also refers to this measure as Concept EBITDA
before G&A.
The term
Concept
refers to the Group’s seven operating divisions comprising the New Zealand divisions (KFC, Pizza Hut,
Starbucks Coffee and Carl’s Jr.), KFC Australia and the two Hawaii divisions (Taco Bell and Pizza Hut). The term G&A
represents non-store related overheads.
2.
EBIT before non-trading.
Earnings before interest and taxation (“EBIT”) before non-trading is calculated by taking net profit
before taxation and adding back (or deducting) financing expenses and non-trading items.
3. Non-trading items. Non-trading items represent amounts the Group considers unrelated to the day to day operational
performance of the Group. Excluding non-trading items enables the Group to measure underlying trends of the business and
monitor performance on a consistent basis.
4.
EBIT after non-trading items.
The Group calculates EBIT after non-trading items by taking net profit before taxation and
adding back financing expenses.
5. Total NPAT excluding non-trading. Total Net Profit After Taxation (“NPAT”) excluding non-trading items is calculated by
taking profit after taxation attributable to shareholders and adding back (or deducting) non-trading items whilst also allowing
for any tax impact of those items.
6.
Capital expenditure including intangibles
. Capital expenditure including intangibles represents additions to property, plant
and equipment and intangible assets.
The Group believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to readers to assist in the understanding of the
financial performance and position of the Group but that they should not be viewed in isolation, nor considered as a substitute for
measures reported in accordance with IFRS. Non-GAAP measures as reported by the Group may not be comparable to similarly
titled amounts reported by other companies.
The following is a reconciliation between these non-GAAP measures and net profit after taxation:

OUTLOOK
Current strategies across all geographic markets are delivering positive results.
The Taco Bell and Pizza Hut brands in Hawaii have delivered a solid contribution in the
first period of ownership. The opportunity there, is network enhancement through
new store builds and transformations
Australian store acquisitions continue to add to growth in that market
KFC New Zealand continues to strongly underpin continuation of profit growth in that
market
Absent any major changes to economic or market conditions, the Group will deliver a
Net Profit after Tax (excluding non-trading items) for the FY19 year of at least 10%
above current year’s performance
