Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited (RBD) has earned a Group NPAT of $2.2 million for the

six months ended 30 June 2023 (1H 2023), compared with $15.3 million in 1H 2022, reflecting the

significant inflationary pressures facing the Group in all markets. Included in NPAT is a non-cash

net impairment charge of $1.8 million relating to property, plant and equipment.

The inflationary environment has continued to evolve, and performance continues to be

impacted significantly due to continued input cost increases in the New Zealand business which

have exceeded earlier expectations of scope and quantum, lower than expected sales growth in

California and Hawaii; and higher interest rates leading to increased funding costs.

While the business has implemented a strategic programme of price increases and cost control

measures to relieve margin pressures, we were not able to raise prices to fully offset the input cost

increases during the period without significantly impacting transaction volumes.

Restaurant Brands’ owned store numbers now total 377, up 10 from 1H 2022. This is primarily

driven by new store openings, including five Taco Bell and four KFC stores across NZ and Australia,

two KFC stores in California, and one Taco Bell store in Hawaii offset by two Taco Bell store closures

in Hawaii. There are now 143 RBD-owned stores in New Zealand, 85 stores in Australia, 73 in Hawaii,

and 76 in California.

* EBITDA is earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. The EBITDA amounts referred to throughout this report

are before G&A, NZ IFRS 16 and Other Items. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not in accordance with NZ IFRS.

NEW ZEALAND OPERATIONS

New Zealand store sales were $272.3 million, up $20.5 million or 8.1% on 1H 2022. Sales grew across

all brands, primarily driven by price increases and the easing of pandemic-related trading constraints.

EBITDA was $32.2 million, a $9.5 million or 22.8% decrease on 1H 2022 with significant cost pressures,

partially offset by the strong store sales performance. EBITDA margin at 11.8% was down on prior year

reflecting the effect of the cost pressures and the mix of less profitable Taco Bell brand sales as this

business continues to build momentum.

Store numbers

Same store sales were up 6.0% for 1H 2023, despite the tight labour market causing adverse

related staff shortages which required many stores to reduce operating hours and/or operate

with reduced capacity.

1H 2023 saw the successful introduction of a number of new products into the market, with Hot Honey

Double Down (KFC) and Korean Chicken Pizza (Pizza Hut) delivering sales growth. Carl’s Jr. continues

to perform well with Philly Cheese Steak, Hot Honey, Truffle Mayo Big Angus, and Taco Bell with Chalupa,

Chipotle Crunch Burrito.

Operating profit for the New Zealand division (excluding the effect of NZ IFRS 16) was $14.2 million

(down 37.4%). Inflation has had a significant impact on ingredient and input costs and continues to do

so. In addition, labour shortages have significantly impacted the hospitality industry in New Zealand.

This has disrupted the ability to operate at full trading hours across all stores and channels, particularly

during the first quarter of 2023, but has shown improvement during the second quarter.

Whilst restricted availability of building materials and store equipment have slowed store development,

new store builds are continuing with four Pizza Hut franchisee stores opened under the Group’s turnkey

program during 1H 2023. Store development will continue to build momentum, with one KFC, one Taco

Bell, two Carl’s Jr. stores, and eight Pizza Hut stores expected to open in the second half of the year.

The Pizza Hut business in New Zealand continues to grow strongly, not only from RBD’s own stores, but

also from the 116 stores operated by independent franchisees under a Master Franchise agreement with

the Group. Four new stores were opened in the first half with up to eight additional stores anticipated by

the end of the year.

Store numbers increased by five from 1H 2022. Two Taco Bell stores and three KFC were opened in 2H 2022.

AUSTRALIA OPERATIONS

Total sales in Australia were $A140.3 million, up $A17.5 million or 14.2% on last year, primarily due to

post Covid recovery, value-based marketing strategies, and the effect of additional store openings.

In $NZ terms the Australian business contributed total sales of $NZ151.9 million (up 13.8%), a store

EBITDA of $NZ16.8 million (up 18.7%) and operating profit (excluding the effect of NZ IFRS 16) of

$NZ0.2 million (down 83.4%).

Same store sales were up 9.7% for the six months ended 30 June 2023. KFC sales have been strong

in 1H 2023 with both CBD and mall stores generating an extra $A6.8 million (same store sales of 30%)

on 1H 2022. Drive-thru concepts have delivered a solid result of $A7.5 million (same store sales of

6.8%). Digital sales through owned and third-party aggregator channels continued to contribute

to further sales increases. Ongoing investment in these channels combined with investment in

restaurant design has helped improve both brand awareness and operational efficiencies.

The store EBITDA results in the first half are encouraging despite the inflationary headwinds

experienced throughout the industry. The business has seen a significant recovery in CBD and

mall margins driven primarily by increased sales volume.

There were two new Taco Bell restaurants opened during 1H 2023 in Bathurst and Cessnock

demonstrating our continued commitment to the brand. Target growth areas across New South

Wales have been identified for future development.

HAWAII OPERATIONS

Total sales in Hawaii were $US79.3 million up $US3.3 million or 4.3% on last year, primarily due to

increased trading hours.

In $NZ terms the Hawaiian operations contributed $NZ127.1 million in revenues, $NZ20.3 million in

EBITDA and an operating profit (excluding the effect of NZ IFRS 16) of $NZ9.2 million for the period.

Same store sales were up 2.6%, however sales growth for the Hawaiian business was lower than

expected. Taco Bell sales improved versus 1H 2022, on the back of an “Old Favourites” promotion

including Enchirito and Nacho Fries limited time offers.

While EBITDA margin as a percentage of sales fell from 18.0% to 15.9% (largely as a result of the

higher cost of sales), store staffing challenges continue to impact the business with stores having

to operate to reduced trading hours on some occasions. Staffing challenges appear to be the direct

result of the State’s aging population and net migration outflow. However, the high cost of sales is

expected to abate in the second half of the year.

Overall store numbers in Hawaii are down by one from 1H 2022 with the closure of the two Pearl

Harbor Pizza Hut and Taco Bell stores in May 2023 offset by Taco Bell Kilauea which opened in

August 2022.

CALIFORNIA OPERATIONS

Total sales in California were $US55.5 million, slightly down $US0.3 million or 0.6% on last year as a

result of decreased consumer spending caused by high inflation.

In $NZ terms the Californian operations contributed $NZ88.9 million in revenues, $NZ9.0 million in

EBITDA and an operating loss (excluding the effect of NZ IFRS 16) of $NZ1.7 million for the period.

Same store sales decreased by 3.7%, primarily due to customers shifting to value-orientated menu

and promotional items.

Strong inflationary pressures in the US continue to challenge sales, cost of sales, and labour.

Profitability eased slightly with EBITDA reduced by $US0.2 million, however in $NZ terms it is higher

by $0.2 million due to the strengthened US dollar.

California store numbers increased by two to 76 stores, up from 74 stores in 1H 2022. KFC Ridgecrest

was opened in August 2022 and KFC Paramount in June 2023. The new store builds met the

California Green Building Standards Code with KFC Paramount being the first store to include solar

panels, energy-efficient materials, and design-specific landscaping to reduce water usage.

RESTAURANT BRANDS NEW ZEALAND LIMITEDTHE INTERIM REPORT 30 JUNE 2023PAGE 08PAGE 09
CORPORATE & OTHER

Group general and administration (G&A) costs were $32.8 million, an increase of $5.3 million on

1H 2022. G&A as a percentage of total revenue was 4.9%, up on 1H 2022 (4.5%). As with much of

the business, this was primarily driven by cost inflation higher than anticipated and the filling of

vacancies across all regions.

Depreciation charges of $23.0 million for 1H 2023 were $2.0 million higher than 1H 2022. The

increase is due to the continued developments of the new store builds and store refurbishments

although at a slower rate than the prior year. Depreciation of right of use assets is also up $1.1 million

to $21.1 million with new leases increasing the associated right of use asset depreciation.

Financing costs of $27.2 million were up $7.5 million on 1H 2022, primarily due to an increase in bank

interest costs of $6.0 million driven by higher interest rates charged on the Group loans. Interest

on bank loans was $9.7 million (1H 2022: $3.7 million). Lease interest contributed to the increase of

$1.6 million due to both new leases and existing leases being extended.

Tax expense was $0.8 million, down $4.4 million due to the lower earnings. The effective tax rate is

27.4%, up from 25.6% on 1H 2022.

OTHER EXPENSES

Other expenses for the half year totalled $1.8 million. This relates to the recognition of an impairment

expense of $2.2 million for two Taco Bell restaurants in Australia offset by the reversal of impairment

of $0.4 million recognised in prior periods for a KFC store, also in Australia.

NZ IFRS 16

The impact of NZ IFRS 16 on the Group accounts for the half year is a reduction of $4.8 million on

after-tax operating earnings (1H 2022 impact: $4.8 million).

The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position has right of use assets of $619.8 million as at 30

June 2023, up $12.0 million since 31 December 2022 due to the new stores being opened and lease

renewals. Lease liabilities of $734.1 million are also up by $19.1 million reflecting the increase in future

lease commitments.

CASH FLOW AND BALANCE SHEET

Total assets of the Group were $1,436.7 million, up $19.5 million on the previous year end, primarily

due to new store builds which increased the value of both property, plant and equipment as well

as right of use assets. Bank debt at the end of the 1H 2023 was $291.8 million compared to $280.3

million at the previous year end. As at 30 June 2023, the Group had bank debt facilities totalling

approximately $384.0 million available. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $12.7 million since

December 2022 with net debt increasing by $24.2 million to $274.7 million over the half year. This is

due to decreased profitability and commitment to a capital investment programme.

The Group remains comfortably within all banking covenants with a Net Debt to EBITDA ratio

of 2.4 : 1.

Net operating cash inflows were $49.7 million, up $1.3 million on 1H 2022. This small increase is

mainly driven by higher sales and lower payment of income tax and is partially offset by $6.0 million

additional interest paid versus the prior year.

Net investing cash outflows were $33.4 million, $0.6 million lower than the $34.0 million in 1H 2022.

The underlying spend on new stores as well as refurbishing existing stores throughout the network

was up by $1.3 million.

A dividend of $20.0 million (16 cents per share) was paid to shareholders in April 2023.

OUTLOOK

Despite near-term global inflationary challenges, the Board and Management Team are confident

there are robust measures in place to deliver against guidance in the second half and rebuild

performance to support the long-term roadmap to growth.

Our focus remains firmly on strong sales volumes, customer loyalty and maintaining a competitive

market, while carefully managing cost pressures and margin performance. The Group continues

to implement price increases where possible, while ensuring transaction volumes are not

adversely impacted.

It is critical that price increases are made at a pace and level that is cognisant of sales volumes,

customer loyalty and our relativity to competitors. We remain firmly focused on these factors as

we seek improved profitability in the second half of 2023.

We continue to fine-tune operations across the business to ensure our systems and processes are

fit for purpose for the volatile economic environment and our growing store network.

This includes improvements to several of our internal systems, which will streamline and enhance

processes over contracting, procurement, pricing, hiring and inventory management, improving

margin controls. Additionally, the alignment of environmental, social, and corporate strategies

continues to see increased efforts on general waste diversion, energy efficiency initiatives, and

food waste reduction programs with a positive result.

Continued investment into our digital platforms is also planned to provide improved customer

access and attract new customers, alongside menu re-engineering and an enhanced marketing

and promotions programme.

RBD continues to monitor the trading and economic environment closely as volatility continues

across its key markets. Management plans to provide an update on outlook for the Group, in terms

of expected time to recovery, at the time of the full-year results.

Against the current economic backdrop, NPAT for the 2023 financial year is expected to be in the

range of $12 million to $16 million.

The Group results are prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting

Practice (“NZ GAAP”) and comply with New Zealand International Financial Reporting Standards

(“NZ IFRS”). These financial statements include non-NZ GAAP financial measures that are

not prepared in accordance with NZ IFRS. The non-NZ GAAP financial measures used in this

presentation are as follows:

1. EBITDA before G&A and other items. The Group calculates Earnings Before Interest, Tax,

Depreciation and Amortisation (“EBITDA”) before G&A (general and administration expenses)

and other items by taking net profit before taxation and adding back (or deducting) financing

expenses, other items, depreciation, amortisation and G&A. The Group also refers to this

measure as Store EBITDA before G&A. This measure provides the results of the Group’s core

operating business and excludes those costs not directly attributable to stores. This is believed

to be a useful measure to assist in the understanding of the financial performance of the Group.

The term Store refers to the Group’s 10 operating divisions comprising the four New Zealand

brands (KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Carl’s Jr.), the two Australia brands (KFC and Taco Bell), the

two Hawaii brands (Taco Bell and Pizza Hut) and the two California brands (Taco Bell and KFC).

The term G&A represents non-store related overheads.

2. Total NPAT excluding the impact of NZ IFRS 16. Total Net Profit After Taxation (“NPAT”)

excluding the impact of NZ IFRS 16 is calculated by taking profit after taxation attributable

to shareholders and adding back (or deducting) lease items whilst also allowing for any tax

impact of those items. This measure reflects the performance of the business, excluding costs

associated with the adoption of NZ IFRS 16 and is considered a useful measure to assist with

understanding the financial performance of the Group.

The Group believes that these non-NZ 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 NZ IFRS. Non-NZ 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-NZ GAAP measures and net profit after taxation:

Notes to and forming part of the consolidated financial statements

for the six months ended 30 June 2023

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The reporting entity is the consolidated group (the “Group”) comprising the parent entity Restaurant

Brands New Zealand Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries. Restaurant Brands New

Zealand Limited is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand. The

principal activity of the Group is the operation of quick service and takeaway restaurant concepts

in New Zealand, Australia, USA, Saipan and Guam.

The Company is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (“NZX”) and the Australian Securities

Exchange (“ASX”). The Group is designated as a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes.

Statutory base

The Company is registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is an FMC reporting entity under

Part 7 of the Financial Markets conduct Act 2013.

Reporting framework

These financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2023 have been prepared in

accordance with NZ IAS 34 New Zealand Interim Financial Reporting, and IAS 34 Interim Financial

Reporting and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements published in the Annual

Report year ended 31 December 2022. The accounting policies have been applied on a basis

consistent with those used and described in the audited consolidated financial statements for

the year ended 31 December 2022.

The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand

Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“NZ GAAP”).

New standards and amendments

There were no new accounting standards, amendments, and interpretations which were assessed

as having a material impact on the Group. There are no NZ IFRS, NZ IFRIC interpretations or other

applicable IFRS that are effective for the first time for the financial year beginning on or after

1 January 2023 that had a material impact on the financial statements.

THE INTERIM REPORT 30 JUNE 2023PAGE 21

Notes to and forming part of the consolidated financial statements (cont.)
for the six months ended 30 June 2023

2. SEGMENTAL REPORTING

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to

the chief operating decision makers. The Group is split into four geographically distinct operating

divisions; New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii and California. The chief operating decision makers,

responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, have

been identified as the Acting Group Chief Executive Officer (Group CEO) and Group Chief Financial

Officer (Group CFO). The chief operating decision makers consider the performance of the business

from a geographic perspective, being New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii (including Guam and Saipan)

and California while the performance of the corporate support function is assessed separately.

The Group is therefore organised into four operating segments, depicting the four geographic

regions the Group operates in and the corporate support function located in New Zealand.

All segments operate quick service and takeaway restaurant concepts. All operating revenue

is from external customers.

The Group evaluates performance and allocates resources to its operating segments on the

basis of segment assets, segment revenues, EBITDA before general and administration expenses

and operating profit before Leases (NZ IFRS 16 and IFRS 16). EBITDA refers to earnings before

interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation. Operating profit refers to earnings before interest

and taxation.

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

New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZIFRS). The non-GAAP

measures presented do not have a standardised meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may

not be comparable to similar financial information presented by other entities.

The Group continued to face challenges from staff shortages impacting operations across

all divisions and cost inflation pressures across all markets which was partially mitigated by

implementing price increases where possible. A detailed review of property, plant and equipment

and right of use assets of stores at period end resulted in a number of stores with impairment

indicators. Based on further analysis a net impairment charge of $1.8 million was recognised for

June 2023 (June 2022: nil). This included two Taco Bell stores in Australia with an impairment charge

of $2.2 million and one KFC store that had an impairment provision of $0.4 million reversed.

THE INTERIM REPORT 30 JUNE 2023PAGE 29
Notes to and forming part of the consolidated financial statements (cont.)

for the six months ended 30 June 2023

Apart from directors’ fees and key management remuneration, there were no other related party

transactions with key management or any Directors or entities associated with them.

Key management compensation

In September 2022 the former Group CEO was awarded a one-time compensation benefit due to

his upcoming retirement in March 2023. The total amount of the one-time award was $1.3 million

and was paid upon his retirement on 31 March 2023. This was accrued on a straight-line basis

from the period when the award was agreed and the retirement date. As of 31 December 2022,

the total accrual for this benefit was $0.7 million. The net impact on the financial statements as of

30 June 2023 was $0.6 million.

8. LAND HELD FOR DEVELOPMENT

As at 30 June 2023 there was $8.5 million relating to land that has been purchased for use in

developing new stores in the future (December 2022: $7.1 million).

9. CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

As at 30 June 2023 the Group has capital commitments totalling $33.5 million (June 2022:

$26.5 million) which are not provided for in these financial statements.

10. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

There are no contingent liabilities that the directors consider will have a significant impact on the

financial position of the Group (June 2022: nil).

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The significant weather events that occurred in Hawaii in August 2023 have not materially impacted

the Group.

Two Hawaii stores were affected by the Maui wildfire however the Group has an insurance policy

in place and therefore there is no expected material impact on the financial statements.

There are no other subsequent events that would have a material effect on these consolidated

interim financial statements.

REPORT ON THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our conclusion

We have reviewed the consolidated interim financial statements of Restaurant Brands New Zealand

Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group) on pages 15 to 28, which comprise the

consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, and the consolidated statement

of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated

statement of cash flows for the six month period ended on that date, and significant accounting

policies and other explanatory information.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these

accompanying consolidated interim financial statements of the Group do not present fairly,

in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2023, and its financial

performance and cash flows for the six month period then ended, in accordance with International

Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) and New Zealand Equivalent to

International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34).

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements

2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity

(NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities

for the review of the financial statements section of our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in

New Zealand relating to the audit of the annual financial statements, and we have fulfilled our

other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these ethical requirements. In addition to our

role as auditor, our firm carries out other services for the Group in the areas of specified procedures

on landlord certificates, review of the Yum! Advertising co-operative report, and greenhouse gas

emissions assurance readiness assessment. In addition, certain partners and employees of our firm

may deal with the Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the Group.

These relationships and the provision of these other services have not impaired our independence

as auditor of the Group.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial statements

The Directors of the Company are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair

presentation of the consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS

34 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation

and fair presentation of the consolidated interim financial statements that are free from material

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

RESTAURANT BRANDS NEW ZEALAND LIMITEDPAGE 28

RESTAURANT BRANDS NEW ZEALAND LIMITEDPAGE 30
Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the financial statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated interim financial statements based

on our review. NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our

attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated interim financial statements, taken as a

whole, are not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34.

A review of consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)

is a limited assurance engagement. We perform procedures, primarily consisting of making

enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying

analytical and other review procedures. The procedures performed in a review are substantially

less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on

Auditing (New Zealand) and International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable

us to obtain assurance that we might identify in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit

opinion on these consolidated interim financial statements.

Who we report to

This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our review work has been

undertaken so that we might state those matters which we are required to state to them in our

review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or

assume responsibility to anyone other than the shareholders, as a body, for our review procedures,

for this report, or for the conclusion we have formed.

The engagement partner on the review resulting in this independent auditor’s review report is

Karen Shires.
