full year impact of Australian stores acquired during FY18.

• Net profit after tax (excluding non-trading items) reaches a new high of $42.2 million, up 3.3%.

with the first stores expected to open during the 2019 calendar year.
• Combined brand EBITDA

up 5.4% to a new high of $129.2 million, primarily driven by the full year
impact of the Australian stores acquired during FY18.
• Starbucks Coffee business disposed of in October 2018, as part of a brand portfolio rationalisation.
• Successful 75% takeover of the company by Finaccess Capital, S.A. de C.V at a price of $9.45 a
share.
Overview
Restaurant Brands has seen a period of consolidation, integrating the operations acquired in Hawaii and
Australia and rationalising its New Zealand operations. There has been considerable investment in store
refurbishment programs in all three divisions with over $33 million in capital expenditure, providing a solid
base for future sales growth within existing markets.
Total Group sales were up 7.2%, primarily as a result of the full year’s trading of 13 KFC stores acquired in
Australia in the second half of last year. The company’s three key businesses all performed strongly with
Taco Bell Hawaii producing same store sales of +5.1%, KFC New Zealand +4.3% and KFC Australia +4.7%.
The strong performance of Taco Bell in Hawaii was especially pleasing, particularly given the successful
negotiation of development rights for this brand in Australia and New Zealand during the year.
The continued growth in overseas markets has resulted in almost half of the Group’s revenue produced
outside of New Zealand.
The past twelve months also saw the company progress through a takeover bid from Finaccess Capital, S.A.
de C.V, which saw Finaccess Capital take a 75% share in the company on 1 April 2019. Restaurant Brands
welcomes this significant investment and looks forward to strong support from our new cornerstone
shareholder.

RESTAURANT BRANDS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
Group Operating Results
Restaurant Brands produced a net profit after tax (NPAT) for the period ended 25 February 2019 (FY19) of
$35.7 million, up 0.8% on the reported NPAT of $35.5 million for the prior year.
After allowing for the impact of non-trading items, the underlying NPAT was $42.2 million, up $1.4 million or
+3.3% on prior year.
Total brand sales for the Group were a record $794.0 million, up $53.2 million or +7.2% on FY18 with the full
year benefit of $40.9 million from the acquisition of 18 stores in Australia during FY18. Hawaii’s sales were
also up $15.2 million with a strong performance from the Taco Bell brand. The New Zealand business saw
record sales from the KFC business, although Carl’s Jr. and Pizza Hut showed negative growth. Other
revenue (primarily sales to independent franchisees) totalled $30.9 million, bringing total operating revenue
to $824.9 million, up $58.6 million on prior year.
Combined brand EBITDA of $129.2 million was up $6.6 million or +5.4% on prior year, with a $7.0 million
incremental contribution from the Australian operations.
Restaurant Brands’ store numbers now total 283, comprising 142 in New Zealand, 80 in Hawaii and 61
stores in Australia.
New Zealand Operations
New Zealand operating revenue was $450.3 million, up $3.6 million on FY18 despite the $9.8 million
reduction in sales with the sale of the Starbucks Coffee business. Excluding Starbucks Coffee sales the
underlying New Zealand operations revenue was $13.3 million or 3.2% higher than FY18.
Total store sales were $419.8 million, a decrease of $1.7 million or -0.4% on last year.
New Zealand EBITDA was $76.4 million, a $0.1 million reduction on FY18. The continued strong
performance of the KFC business was partly off-set by lost earnings following the sale of the Starbucks
Coffee business part way through the year.
New Zealand operations produced earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) before non-trading items of $45.3
million, which is consistent with 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 5.3% to a new high of $336.5 million, with same store sales up 4.3%.
KFC record sales result included the highest single week of sales across the country (beating the previous
record by 13%), as well as record sales for a single store in a week. This success is a result of the
continuing impact of increased marketing spend and a strong promotional calendar built up over the last
three years.
Despite some input cost pressures, margins remained strong, with an EBITDA margin of 20.9% of sales
being delivered in the period. In dollar terms, EBITDA totalled $70.4 million, up 5.9% on last year’s result.
KFC continued to invest in store assets with 16 major renovations completed during the year. In addition
digital self-ordering kiosks were introduced in several stores and this has seen a high uptake by customers.
The brand has a solid base for growth in the next financial year with work underway for three new stores to
open in April this year.

RBD EBITDA 2.0 3.2 -1.2 -37.5
EBITDA as a % of Sales 5.7 7.8
Transformation of the Pizza Hut network in New Zealand to a master franchise model continues on plan with
the sale of nine stores to franchisees during FY19. This included the sale of three new turnkey stores.
This continued unit growth saw network sales climb to $101.0 million for FY19, up $0.3 million or +0.2% on
prior year.
Company owned store numbers decreased by six to 30, whilst the number of independent franchisee stores
has increased to 68, bringing the total Pizza Hut network to 98 stores. During the period three stores were
temporarily closed and two new stores were opened at Kaitaia and Meadowbank (Auckland).
In company owned stores, sales were down $5.7 million to $35.4 million, which is a reflection of the reduced
store numbers and same store sales decreasing 6.1%.
Restaurant Brands’ Pizza Hut store EBITDA was $2.0 million (5.7% of sales), down $1.2 million on last year,
reflecting lower company-owned store numbers and continued margin pressures, particularly in relation to
increased labour rates and ingredient costs.

EBITDA as a % of sales 2.9 5.6
Store numbers in Carl’s Jr. fell by one to 18 with the closure of the Upper Harbour store in Auckland as a
result of a Public Works Act compulsory acquisition. Store sales were down 8.8% (-3.3% on a same store
basis), although the introduction of a delivery service in February 2019 has had an immediate and positive
impact.
EBITDA was $0.9 million (2.9% of sales), a decrease of $1.1m on the prior year with lower sales, increasing
labour rates and ingredient costs. The brand continues to operate in a very competitive marketplace.

A strategic decision was made not renew the Starbucks Coffee franchise agreement to concentrate on the
other core brands within the NZ operations and the business was sold in October 2018.
Australian Operations
In $NZ terms, the Australian business (operating the KFC brand) contributed total sales of $NZ191.5 million,
store EBITDA of $NZ29.1 million and EBIT of $NZ14.0 million. These results are all significantly up on the
prior year, as a result of stronger trading and the full year trading impact of the 18 new stores acquired
during the FY18 year.

Store numbers 61 61
Store EBITDA 27.0 20.2 +6.8 +33.7
EBITDA as a % of sales 15.2 14.5
In $A terms, total sales for the KFC business in Australia were $A178.3 million, up A$38.8 million (or
+27.8%) on last year. This was largely a function of the full year impact of the additional 18 stores acquired
partway through FY18. Same store sales increased by 4.7%.
Store EBITDA was $A27.0 million (15.2% of sales) up $A6.8 million or +33.7% on last year with sales
leverage and more efficient store operations.
The network totalled 61 stores as at balance date. One store was opened in the third quarter of the year,
offset by one store closure in the final quarter of the year. The business has continued to invest in a major
store upgrade programme with 10 store upgrades completed in the financial year.
The Australian business successfully launched and expanded its home delivery service to all 26 Sydney
Metro stores during the year.
Hawaii Operations
In $NZ terms, the Hawaiian operations contributed $NZ182.7 million in revenues, $NZ23.7 million in brand
EBITDA and an EBIT of $NZ8.0 million for FY19.
Total sales in Hawaii were $US124.7 million with store level EBITDA of $US16.2 million. Taco Bell had
another strong year, performing ahead of expectations on strong sales generated by distinctive product
offerings and pricing flexibility. Pizza Hut continued to underperform, facing increased margin pressures due
to the national Pizza Hut value promotions, higher levels of competition and limited pricing power in the face
of input cost increases.

Taco Bell continued to perform very well with total sales of $US72.3 million and store-level EBITDA of
$US14.3 million (19.8% of sales) for the year. A strong promotional pipeline has helped drive a solid sales
performance with same store sales up 5.1%.
Restaurant Brands has embarked on a store rebuild and refurbishment strategy following the same
successful model as undertaken by the KFC business in New Zealand. The first store transformed continues
to deliver same store sales growth of +60% against pre-transformation volumes. However, local government
construction permit approvals have delayed the roll out of transformations to further stores. The process is
now gaining momentum and 2-3 major store refurbishments are expected to be completed over the next 12
months.
Pizza Hut Hawaii

Sales 52.4 51.5 +0.9 +1.8
Store numbers 44 45
Store EBITDA 1.9 3.3 -1.4 -44.1
EBITDA as a % of sales 3.6 6.5
Total Pizza Hut sales were $US52.4 million with store-level EBITDA of $US1.9 million (3.6% of sales). Same
store sales were down 2.1%. There continues to be margin pressure from participating in US-wide value-led
marketing promotions together with higher commodity and direct labour expenses.
As with Taco Bell, an asset refurbishment program is under way for the Pizza Hut brand, which sees a move
away from the larger Restaurant Based Delivery units into smaller, more cost-effective Delivery and Carry-
out (Delco) units. One new Delco unit was opened at Pearl City in Honolulu during FY19 and is trading
ahead of expectations.
Corporate & Other
General and administration (G&A) costs were $35.8 million, up $3.9 million from last year. This is a result of
the Group corporate team operating for a full year and the continued expansion of the Group’s activities.
G&A as a % of total revenue was 4.3% which is in line with the prior year.
Depreciation charges of $30.3 million for FY19 were $1.6 million higher than the prior year, of which the
Australian business accounted for $1.1 million arising from the stores acquired during FY18.
Financing costs of $6.8 million were up $1.2 million on prior year reflecting the higher borrowings required to
fund Australian acquisitions during FY18. Interest rates in both Hawaii and Australia also increased.
Tax expense was $13.7 million, down $3.0 million on the prior year due to the reduction in the corporate tax
rate in Hawaii. The effective tax rate of 27.7% 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 27.8%.
Non-trading Items
Non-trading expenditure for the year was $9.0 million, $3.6 million higher than prior year. The FY19 charges
included $3.5 million leave remediation costs resulting from identified payroll inconsistences in New Zealand
relating to the entitlements under the Holidays Act dating back to 2012, an impairment charge of $3.5 million
relating to Carl’s Jr. asset carrying value in New Zealand and an adjustment in the accounting treatment for
workers compensation expenses in Hawaii of $1.6 million. These costs were partially offset by a gain on the
sale of the Starbucks Coffee business and a gain on sale of assets in relation to the sale of New Zealand
Pizza Hut stores to independent franchisees.
Cash Flow & Balance Sheet
The composition of the Group’s balance sheet is largely consistent with the prior year except for a drop in net
debt of $25.9 million which reflects the Group’s strong trading results and the decision not to pay an interim
dividend. Bank debt at the end of the year was down to $145.9 million compared to $166.8 million at the
previous year end. As at balance date, the Group had bank debt facilities totalling $251.7 million in place.
The Group remains relatively unleveraged with a Net Debt: EBITDA ratio as at the end of the FY19 year of
1.3X.
Operating cash flows were up $3.8 million to $71.3 million, reflecting the Group’s increased profitability.
Net investing cash outflows were $26.8 million (versus $173.3 million last year) with the prior year reflecting
the cash impact of the Hawaii and Australian acquisitions totalling $147.5 million (net of bank loans assumed
as part of the transactions). Included within investing cash inflows for the period were $10.2 million received
from the sale of nine Pizza Hut stores and the Starbucks Coffee business.
Dividend
As its growth strategy begins to accelerate, Restaurant Brands is facing substantial demands on its capital
resources. In particular the planned new store build programme (including the intention of opening 60 Taco Bell
stores in New Zealand and Australia over the next five years, together with accelerated levels of KFC store builds in
both those markets) will see levels of capital expenditure at record levels. Overlaying this are significant potential
acquisition opportunities in both the US and Australian markets.
While some of this store development and acquisition growth can be funded from increased borrowings, Directors
believe that it is in the best interests of the Group to retain cash in order to provide funding flexibility. Directors have
therefore resolved to not pay a final dividend for the FY19 year.
Finaccess Capital, S.A. de C.V
On 1 April 2019 the partial takeover offer from Finaccess Capital was successfully completed with Finaccess
taking a 75% shareholding in the Group through acquiring shares from existing shareholders at a price of
$9.45 a share. Finaccess Capital has a successful track record of investing in QSR businesses including a
major shareholding in AmRest Holdings S.E, a large European QSR operation. They have signalled that they
are supportive of the Group’s continuation of its existing growth strategies.
Directors
Following completion of the takeover, Vicky Taylor, David Beguely and Stephen Copulos resigned from the board
and José Parés and Emilio Fullaondo were appointed as new directors. Ted van Arkel and Hamish Stevens will
remain on the board until the next Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of the company.
The board and company acknowledge the contributions made by the three retiring directors and welcome José
(representing Finaccess) and Emilio (independent director) to the board.
NZ IFRS16
The Group has adopted the new lease accounting standard (NZIFRS 16) with effect from the new financial year.
The effect of this standard on the company’s balance sheet will create a lease liability, reflecting future lease
payments and a “right of use” asset for its lease contracts. The Group leases all its premises, therefore the initial
balance sheet impact will be substantial, increasing assets by an estimated $383 million, liabilities by $432 million
and reducing equity by $49 million.
Furthermore the standard will impact on the Group’s income statement by removing operating lease expenses and
replacing them with an interest expense pertaining to the future lease payment obligations and a depreciation
charge against the “right of use” asset in the balance sheet. The net effect of these changes will have a minimal
overall impact on the income statement over time, but because of timing differences will have an estimated adverse
impact in the first year of adoption of $5.9 million before tax.
Outlook
With stable operations in all three of its markets and the takeover activity of the past 12 months now
complete, Restaurant Brands will be looking to expand further through acquisition, store refurbishments and
new store roll outs.
Although the introduction of the Taco Bell brand to New Zealand and Australia (New South Wales and ACT)
is not expected to have a material effect on the Group’s result in FY20 it is another important step forward in
the Group’s overall expansion strategy for the region.
With a consistent performance from the existing store network, the benefit of new store builds and a stable
economic environment, Directors expect the Group will deliver a NPAT (excluding non-trading items) result
for the new financial year of 10% above current year’s results (after adjusting for the disposal of the
Starbucks Coffee business in FY19 or any major new acquisitions during the year). Further details will be
provided at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.
Annual Shareholders’ Meeting
The Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of the company will be held in Auckland, New Zealand on Wednesday 10
July 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
For the 52 week period ended 25 February 2019
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
With stable operations in all three markets and the takeover activity of the past 12 months now
complete, the Company is poised for further expansion through acquisition, store refurbishments and
new store roll outs.
New KFC store builds will drive sales and profit enhancement in New Zealand and Australia. The Taco
Bell scrape and rebuilds in Hawaii will further assist that result.
The introduction of the Taco Bell brand to New Zealand and Australia will have an immaterial adverse
effect on the FY20 result (largely establishment costs).
The underlying business across all brands is expected to deliver a consistent (or slightly better) result
on FY19.
After adjusting for Starbucks disposal and excluding any significant new acquisitions, Net
Profit after Tax (excluding non-trading items) for the FY20 year of 10% above current year’s
performance
