OPERATING RESULTS

Total Group store sales reached a record $1,393.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2024. Supported by the

implementation of strategic initiatives including effective revenue management programmes, cost control measures, and

operational efficiencies, the Group NPAT of $26.5 million represents a considerable improvement from last year.

These initiatives, combined with the consistent delivery of value through price and customer experience, have supported

customer loyalty, brand health, and our competitive position, while also partially offsetting rising labour costs and

consumer pressures.

Group Store EBITDA increased 8.9% on the prior year, or $15.9 million, reaching $194.3 million, with the implemented

measures continuing to deliver gradual margin recovery for the Group.

New Zealand and Hawaii are noteworthy, with improved performance and solid growth delivered in 2024. This continues to

offset a slower recovery in Australia and California. We remain on the right track to reach Group Store EBITDA margin levels

obtained in FY22, previously established as the baseline for future growth.

Market conditions in Australia and California - including the imposed 29% increase in the minimum wage in California in

April 2024 - are still placing significant pressure on consumer spending and labour costs. We are monitoring these trading

conditions closely in order to implement and adapt any necessary plans to mitigate their impact.

Despite these challenging market conditions, we have significantly advanced our growth strategy in parallel to our focus

on margin and profit recovery. In all markets we are investing in digital channels and increasing digital sales, delivering

enhanced marketing programmes, launching innovative new products, and adapting our menus.

Our unique, modern brands continue to grow and provide winning experiences to our customers, driven forward by the

highly motivated Restaurant Brands team and our franchisee network. The considerable investments we have made in

technology in recent years are delivering cost efficiencies that support our margins and, at the same time, improve

customer access and the staff experience across all divisions.

2024 DIRECTORS’ REPORT
During FY24, we opened nine new stores, including new, innovative formats, furthered our store refurbishment programme,

and optimised the store portfolio, focusing on key growth areas. New store openings were offset by four closures

in California.

As at 31 December 2024, Restaurant Brands has 521 stores (381 owned and 140 franchised) distributed as follows: 155

owned stores in New Zealand, 85 stores in Australia, 70 in Hawaii and 71 in California. The Restaurant Brands portfolio

includes 141 Pizza Hut stores in New Zealand, of which 135 are owned and operated by independent franchisees.

NEW ZEALAND OPERATIONS

31 Dec 202431 Dec 2023Change ($)Change (%)

Store sales ($m)625.9571.8+54.1+9.5

Store EBITDA ($m)104.080.5+23.5+29.2

Store EBITDA as a % of sales16.614.1

Store numbers (owned and franchised)295269

Store sales for the New Zealand business were up $54.1 million to $625.9 million, representing a strong 9.5% growth on

FY23, primarily driven by KFC and the opening of new stores.

Despite a slowdown in the economy, most markedly towards the second half of the year, same store sales were up 4.6%,

with strong transaction growth year-on-year as a result of effective marketing strategies and new product launches.

In 2024, the New Zealand KFC business delivered record sales driven by innovative new products and viral marketing

initiatives that contributed to weekly sales records. Pizza Hut marked its 50th anniversary in New Zealand with special

celebrations, including the limited return of vintage company favourites such as the all-you-can-eat buffet and special

menu items aimed at bringing back core memories for both the Pizza Hut team and our longstanding customers. Taco Bell

continued to grow in terms of same store sales, transactions, and new store openings as a result of a consistent brand

message and strong menu innovation.

Digital sales continued to grow across all brands, with investments in digital channels enhancing customer experience

at store level and through delivery. While KFC remains the leading contributor to New Zealand operations, Taco Bell has

solidified its presence in the QSR sector and Carl’s Jr. continues to perform in line with expectations.

Store EBITDA was $104.0 million, a $23.5 million or 29.2% increase on FY23, reflecting improved sales performance, cost

saving initiatives, more stable roster that enabled the stores to resume full trading hours. Store EBITDA margin was 16.6%,

an increase on the 14.1% in FY23, again indicating robust sales growth and strong margin improvements.

The New Zealand division opened eight new stores in FY24, bringing the total number of RBD-owned stores to 155. The

division focused on developing innovative store formats designed to boost customer experience, including a premier

flagship side-by-side opening of KFC, Taco Bell, and Carl’s Jr. stores in a new town centre.

The Pizza Hut store network maintained its strong growth momentum this year, opening 17 new stores in FY24, for

a total 141 stores, of which 135 are operated by independent franchisees under a master franchise agreement with

Restaurant Brands.

We are continuing to deliver proactive, value-led marketing strategies in the first half of 2025, to address pressure on

consumer spending, with an expected improvement in the New Zealand retail environment in the second half.

2024 DIRECTORS’ REPORT
AUSTRALIAN OPERATIONS

31 Dec 202431 Dec 2023Change ($)Change (%)

Store sales ($Am)284.2286.6-2.4-0.8

Store EBITDA ($Am)32.334.9-2.6-7.4

Store EBITDA as a % of sales11.412.2

Store numbers (owned)8584

Store sales for the Australia business were $A284.2 million, down 0.8% on FY23.

Same store sales were down 3.3%, driven by a year-on-year reduction in transaction levels largely due to continued cost

of living pressures impacting consumers in the market. Small pricing adjustments were made throughout the year while

enhancing value-driven offerings to meet the needs of cost-conscious customers.

Australia continues to face challenging market conditions, with high interest rates, elevated inflation, and occupancy costs

driving cost of living pressures. Despite applying pricing uplifts factoring customer demand for value offerings, customers

have continued to shift to supermarket options. Additionally, while input costs have remained stable, electricity costs

increased markedly. To partially offset this increase, the Group has invested in energy efficiency initiatives such as the

expansion of rooftop solar and LED lighting.

Store EBITDA was down $A2.6 million, to $A32.3 million, and Store EBITDA margins declined from 12.2% to 11.4%, which is

reflective of the ongoing inflationary cost pressures impacting consumer spending. Although KFC delivered a lower Store

EBITDA versus the prior year, it is important to note that the strong 2023 results make for a high comparison base. While

Taco Bell performed below expectations, we remain confident that the strategy currently in place will bring the brand to the

levels and momentum we are experiencing in the New Zealand market.

In $NZ terms, the Australian business contributed $NZ309.9 million in sales, and Store EBITDA of $NZ35.2 million was down

6.8% on the previous year.

RBD operates 85 stores in Australia. The business opened one new store during the year, and successfully converted a

Taco Bell store closed in 2023 into a KFC store. We continue to invest in the store refurbishment program in this market,

with a focus on elevating brand standards, employee safety, and customer experiences with new restaurant equipment and

digital kiosks. 

We are optimistic about the outlook for Australia, with cost of living pressures expected to ease during the second half of

2025. We will continue to invest in the growth of digital channels and develop new store assets while building increased

brand resilience in a highly competitive market.

HAWAIIAN OPERATIONS

31 Dec 202431 Dec 2023Change ($)Change (%)

Store sales ($USm)169.5159.5+10.0+6.3

Store EBITDA ($USm)28.727.6+1.1+4.0

Store EBITDA as a % of sales16.917.3

Store numbers (owned)7070

Store sales for the Hawaii business were $US169.5 million, up $US10.0 million and 6.3% on the prior year, with solid

performance in Taco Bell once again and moderate growth in Pizza Hut. Same store sales increased 4.2% on the prior year.

While Taco Bell continued to deliver strong sales, supported by successful marketing campaigns and product innovations,

Pizza Hut sales were below expectations. However, sales at Pizza Hut did improve over FY23 with the implementation of

strategies to support employee attraction and retention, which have been successful in improving staffing conditions. Pizza

Hut’s new offerings, introduced mid-way through 2024, constituted an effective step forward for the brand.

3

2024 DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Store EBITDA was $US28.7 million, equivalent to 16.9% of sales, an increase of $US1.1m on last year. However, the margin

decreased slightly, resulting from a year-on-year inflation increase and high energy prices that limited consumer spending,

despite the Group’s focus on value offerings. Store EBITDA growth is mainly driven by Taco Bell, with Pizza Hut having

similar performance versus the prior year.

In $NZ terms, the Hawaii business contributed $NZ280.3 million in sales, up $NZ20.6 million, or 7.9%, on the prior year.

Store EBITDA increased $NZ2.4 million to $NZ47.4 million, partly supported by a favourable NZD/USD exchange rate.

RBD operates 70 stores in Hawaii (with no openings or closures during FY24).

We continue to implement unique marketing campaigns as well as new offerings and sites to strengthen brand awareness,

while also bringing back long-time consumers with favourites from the past.

CALIFORNIAN OPERATIONS

31 Dec 202431 Dec 2023Change ($)Change (%)

Store sales ($USm)107.3110.9-3.6-3.2

Store EBITDA ($USm)4.69.3-4.7-50.5

Store EBITDA as a % of sales4.38.4

Store numbers (owned)7175

Store sales for the California business were $US107.3 million, a decrease of $US3.6 million, or 3.2%, on the prior year.

Same store sales declined 3.9% on the prior year.

The elevated cost of living is still impacting consumer spending in this market, where dining at home continues to

make more economic sense than eating out. The average spend per customer has declined as customers gravitate to

value-oriented menus and promotional items in an environment of very strong competition. However, same store sales

improved during the course of the fourth quarter, driven in part by new marketing campaigns for KFC in the U.S. Changes

to in-store kiosks, as well as local restaurant marketing efforts - particularly catering offers – have supported an increase in

uptake and value-oriented promotional efforts and innovation introduced this year have delivered strong sales compared to

other operators in our market.

Store EBITDA was down 50.5%, to $US4.6 million, mainly impacted by the 29% increase in the minimum wage that came

into effect on 1 April 2024, despite the implementation of strategies to mitigate this impact while maintaining a strong

customer base. However, there were improvements in key labour indicators regarding retention and staffing levels and

investments were made into initiatives to reduce operating costs, improve operational efficiency, maintain brand health and

support growth.

In $NZ terms, the California business contributed $NZ177.4 million in sales, down 1.8% on FY23, and $NZ7.7 million in Store

EBITDA, a decrease of 49.0%, which was partially offset by a favourable NZD/USD exchange rate.

RBD operates 71 stores in California. As part of the ongoing optimisation of the portfolio to focus on key growth areas, four

stores were closed over the course of the year.

Key pillars of our strategy for California include enhanced operational efficiencies (including kiosk rollouts), initiatives to

boost our energy efficiency, and the optimisation of our store portfolio. While these and other initiatives have helped to

improve performance and partially offset increased labour costs, we anticipate that it will take 12-18 months to see better

trading conditions in this market.

2024 DIRECTORS’ REPORT
CORPORATE & OTHER

Group General and Administration (G&A) expenses were $66.6 million, a decrease of $0.6 million on FY23. G&A as a

percentage of total revenue was 4.5%, down on FY23 at 4.8%, supported by continuing initiatives aimed at reducing

non-essential G&A expenses across the Group. Depreciation charges of $50.1 million for FY24 were $3.4 million higher

than FY23, due to the continued new store builds and store refurbishments, although at a slower rate than the prior year.

Depreciation of right of use assets is up $1.0 million, to $43.7 million, with new stores and lease renewals increasing the

associated right of use asset depreciation. Financing costs of $57.0 million were up $0.8 million on FY23, primarily driven by

a $0.9 million increase in lease interest to $36.2 million due to both new leases and existing leases being extended. This was

partially offset by bank debt servicing costs with lower debt levels as a result of the improved cash flows achieved in 2024.

Tax expense was $10.3 million, up $4.1 million on the back of higher earnings for the year. The effective tax rate is 28.0%

(FY23 27.5%).

OTHER ITEMS

Other items comprise other income and expenses and they totalled $8.0 million (FY23 $6.1 million).  FY24 includes a net

impairment charge of $7.8 million, and $0.7 million related to the assets write-downs for store closures in California and

other expenses of $0.5 million. These charges were partially offset by $0.9 million of insurance recovery proceeds following

the wildfire in Lahaina in 2023.

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW

Total assets of the Group were $1,491.5 million, up $65.7 million on 31 December 2023, primarily due to new store builds

and refurbishments which increased the value of both property, plant, and equipment as well as intangibles and right of use

assets. Bank debt at the end of FY24 was $284.5 million compared with $289.4 million as of 31 December 2023, due to a

combination of net repayments of $27.4 million offset by $22.5 million of exchange rate effects. As of 31 December 2024, the

Group had bank debt facilities totalling $405.1 million ($120.7 million undrawn).

In December 2024 the Group paid a special dividend of $22.5 million, as a result of the current and projected financial

position supported by the Group’s cash flows and capital expenditure requirements.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $0.8 million since 31 December 2023 with the higher earnings offset by the

dividend payment and the repayment of bank loans. The Group remains comfortably within all banking covenants with a Net

Debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.8:1 (2.2:1 in FY23).

Net operating cash inflows were $132.6 million, up $4.8 million on FY23. This increase is mainly driven by higher sales and

is partially offset by increased payments to suppliers generating a net cash inflow. The increase in the interest payments

on bank debt amounted to $1.4 million, partially offset by lower income tax payments. Net investing cash outflows were

$53.5 million, a $31.3 million decrease on FY23, primarily driven by reductions in overall capital expenditure.

DIVIDEND

Following the assessment of the current and projected financial position and considering the recent special dividend

payment in December, no additional dividend was declared for FY24. Directors believe it is in the best interests of the

Group to retain cash at this time in order to support growth and maintain funding flexibility.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
for the year ended 31 December 2024

The Group results are prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“NZ GAAP”)

and comply with International Financial Reporting Standards Accounting Standards ("IFRS Accounting Standards") and

New Zealand International Financial Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”). These financial statements include a non-NZ GAAP

financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with NZ IFRS. The non-NZ GAAP financial measure used in this

presentation is as follows:

Store EBITDA before General and Administration (G&A) expenses, NZ IFRS 16 and other items. The Group calculates

Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (“EBITDA”) before G&A, NZ IFRS 16 and other items by taking

net profit before taxation and adding back (or deducting) financing expenses, other items, depreciation, amortisation, NZ

IFRS 16 and G&A. The Group also refers to this measure as Store EBITDA before G&A and other items. This measure

provides the results of the Group’s core operating business and excludes those costs not directly attributable to stores.

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 (KFC and Taco Bell). The term G&A represents non-store related overheads.

The Group believes that this non-NZ GAAP measure provides useful information to readers to assist in the understanding of

the financial performance and position of the Group, but it should not be viewed in isolation, nor considered as a substitute

for measures reported in accordance with IFRS and NZ IFRS. This non-NZ GAAP measure as reported by the Group may not

be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.

The following is a reconciliation between this non-GAAP measure and net profit after taxation:

RESTAURANT BRANDS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED RELEASES FY24 FINANCIAL RESULTS


• Total Group store sales of $1,393.6 million, a new company record

• Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) of $26.5 million, representing 62.6% improvement on the prior year

• Group Store EBITDA

1

was $194.3 million, an increase of 8.9% on FY23

• Store numbers now total 521 (owned and franchised)


Auckland, New Zealand, 27 February 2025. Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited (RBD or the

Group) today announced its results for the full year ended 31 December 2024.


The Group delivered record total store sales of $1,393.6 million for the year, an increase of $71.4 million,

or 5.4% on the prior year.


Driven by the implementation of strategic initiatives, including effective revenue management

programmes, cost control measures, and operational efficiencies, NPAT was $26.5 million,

representing a 62.6% improvement on the prior year.


RBD Chairman, José Parés, said the Group’s strategy has continued to deliver gradual margin recovery

while maintaining value for customers through both pricing and experience, reinforcing the platform for

long-term growth.


“These initiatives are strengthening customer loyalty, brand health, and our competitive position, while

partially offsetting rising labour costs and consumer pressures.”


Group Store EBITDA reached $194.3 million, an 8.9% increase on the prior year. Margins improved to

13.9% of sales, up from 13.5% in FY23, driven by the Group’s margin recovery programme.


Parés noted that New Zealand and Hawaii delivered solid growth in 2024. “The performance of these

two markets continues to offset a slower recovery in Australia and California. The Group remains on

track to regain FY22 Group Store EBITDA margin levels, which serve as the baseline for future growth.”


RBD Chief Executive Officer, Arif Khan said significant advances were made against the Group’s growth

strategy in 2024, alongside ongoing margin and profit recovery.

“Investments in technology and digital channels are increasing digital sales and customer access points.

We’re delivering enhanced, value-led marketing programmes, product and menu innovations and new

store models to align with evolving customer preferences.”

“Our unique, modern brands are growing and providing winning experiences for our customers, driven

forward by the highly motivated RBD team and our franchisee network.”


The Group maintains healthy debt levels, with bank debt reducing to $284.5 million and a Net Debt to

EBITDA ratio of 1.8:1. Capital expenditure was lower than the prior year, supporting strong cash flow

and enabling a $22.5 million special dividend in December 2024.


Nine stores were opened over the course of the year, and four closed in California as part of the Group’s

portfolio optimisation strategy. The store refurbishment programme has also continued, focusing on

RESTAURANT BRANDS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED

enhancing the portfolio by targeting key growth areas.

As at 31 December 2024, RBD has 521 stores (381 owned and 140 franchised) distributed as follows:

155 owned stores in New Zealand, 85 stores in Australia, 70 in Hawaii, and 71 in California. The store

portfolio includes 141 Pizza Hut stores in New Zealand, of which 135 are owned and operated by

independent franchisees.


Division update


New Zealand

Same store sales in New Zealand were up 4.6%, with strong transaction growth year-on-year.

Store EBITDA was $104.0 million, a 29.2% increase on FY23, and Store EBITDA margin was 16.6%,

an increase on the 14.1% in FY23.


KFC achieved record sales, driven by innovative new products and viral marketing. Pizza Hut

celebrated its 50th anniversary in the country with a limited return of vintage brand favourites and

special menu items. Taco Bell saw growth in same store sales, transactions, and new store openings.


Digital sales continued to rise across all brands. KFC remains the leading contributor to New Zealand

operations. Taco Bell has solidified its position in the QSR sector, and Carl’s Jr. has performed as

expected.


The New Zealand division added eight new stores in FY24, reaching 155 RBD-owned locations. The

franchise network also grew, with 18 new stores opened by independent operators.


Australia

Australian store sales totalled $A284.2 million, down 0.8% on FY23, with same store sales down 3.3%,

due to a year-on-year reduction in transaction levels. Store EBITDA was down $A2.6 million, to

$A32.3 million, and Store EBITDA margin declined from 12.2% to 11.4%.


Australia continues to face headwinds from high interest rates, inflation, and rising occupancy costs,

which are straining consumer spending. While input costs remain stable, electricity costs increased

significantly. To partially offset the increase, the Group has invested in energy efficiency initiatives and

will continue implementing its margin control strategy. RBD operates 85 stores in Australia.


Hawaii

In Hawaii, store sales rose 6.3% to $US169.5 million, with same store sales up 4.2%. Store EBITDA

increased by $US1.1 million to $US28.7 million, equivalent to 16.9% of sales, though margins were

slightly impacted by year-on-year inflation and high energy costs.


Taco Bell continued to deliver strong sales, supported by successful marketing campaigns and product

innovations. While Pizza Hut sales fell short of expectations, they improved on FY23 results, supported

by new menu offerings and successful employee retention strategies that enhanced staffing conditions.

RBD operates 70 stores in Hawaii, with no openings or closures in 2024.


California


In California, store sales totalled $US107.3 million, down $US3.6 million on the prior year, with same

store sales declining 3.9%. Despite efforts to offset the 29% minimum wage increase introduced on

April 1, 2024, Store EBITDA margin dropped 50.5% to $US4.6 million.


Shifts in customer behaviour and the elevated cost of living reduced average spend, as dining at

home remained more affordable than dining out. However, same store sales improved in the fourth

quarter, supported by new KFC marketing campaigns, in-store kiosk roll-outs, and local promotional

efforts focused on value. Innovations introduced during the year positively impacted sales in the

challenging market.


RBD operates 71 stores in California. As part of the portfolio optimisation strategy, four stores were

closed during the year to focus on key growth areas.

In closing, Parés added, "We remain optimistic about the Group’s outlook. While the QSR sector
continues to face challenges, our strategic investments and region-specific measures are supporting

margin recovery, strengthening our brands, and positioning the Group and its investors for sustainable

growth."

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with:

•New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“NZ GAAP”)

•Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013

•NZX Main Board Listing Rules

They comply with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”), NZ IFRIC

interpretations, and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards, as appropriate for a for-profit entity. The consolidated

financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards Accounting Standards (“IFRS Accounting

Standards”) as issued by the IASB.

The measurement basis adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements is historical cost, and

when applicable modified by the revaluation of certain financial instruments as identified in the accompanying notes. The

consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars, rounded where necessary to the nearest thousand

dollars. The material accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out

in the accompanying notes including where an accounting policy choice is provided by NZ IFRS, is new or has changed, is

specific to the Group’s operations or is material. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented,

unless otherwise stated.

These audited consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue on 27 February 2025 by the Board of Directors

who do not have the power to amend afterwards.

New disclosure requirements and changes in accounting policies

There are various standards, amendments and interpretations which are published but not yet effective and were assessed

as having an immaterial impact on the Group. There are no NZ IFRS, NZ IFRIC interpretations or other applicable IFRS

Accounting Standards that are effective for the first time for the financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2024 that had

a material impact on these consolidated financial statements.

In May 2024, the External Reporting Board introduced NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (NZ

IFRS 18) (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027). This standard replaces NZ IAS 1 and

primarily introduces a defined structure for the statement of comprehensive income, disclosure of management-defined

performance measures (a subset of non-GAAP measures) in a single note, together with reconciliation requirements. The

Group has not early adopted this standard and is yet to assess its impacts.

On 14 December 2022 the External Reporting Board (XRB) published its climate-related disclosure standards. The

mandatory reporting regime for disclosing risk in the annual report is for reporting periods beginning after 1 January

2023. Climate-related disclosures will be reported on or before 30 April 2025 as per the blanket exemption issued during

the reporting period.

Expected changes to income tax legislation

On 8 October 2021, 136 countries, which are part of the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework (IF), reached an agreement for

a two-pillar approach to international tax reform (“OECD agreement”). In May 2023 the New Zealand Government has

announced that New Zealand will adopt the OECD-led global tax initiative aimed at ensuring large multinationals pay a

minimum tax rate of 15.0% in participating countries. The OECD agreement is likely to see changes in corporate tax rates in

a number of countries in the next few years.

Applying the OECD Pillar Two model rules and determining their impact on the NZ IFRS financial statements is complex

and poses a number of practical challenges. It is not immediately apparent how entities would apply the principles and

requirements in NZ IAS 12 Income Taxes in accounting for top-up tax arising from the Pillar Two model rules – specifically,

whether the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities would be impacted. If deferred tax assets

10

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2024

and liabilities would be impacted by the rules, this would be from the date when the relevant national legislation is enacted

or substantively enacted.

As at 31 December 2024, the Pillar Two requirements have been enacted in Australia and New Zealand. However in New

Zealand the rules are effective from 1 January 2025. The Group is closely monitoring the enaction process in jurisdictions

where it operates and its potential impact on the Group operations and the consolidated financial statements. Further

details are disclosed in note 17.

Use of non-GAAP measures within the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements include non-GAAP financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with NZ

IFRS. The non-GAAP financial measures used in the consolidated financial statements are referenced below along with an

explanation as to why these measures provide relevant and reliable information for investors and how the Group uses the

information internally:

•Store EBITDA before General and Administration expenses (G&A), NZ IFRS 16 and other items. The Group calculates

Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortisation ("EBITDA") before G&A, NZ IFRS 16 and other items by taking

net profit before taxation and adding back (or deducting) financing expenses, other items, depreciation, amortisation, NZ

IFRS 16 and G&A. The Group also refers to this measure as Store EBITDA before G&A and other items. This measure

provides the results of the Group’s core operating business and excludes those costs not directly attributable to stores.

•Capital expenditure including intangible assets – This represents additions to property, plant and equipment and

intangible assets. This measure represents the amount of investment in the business and is therefore a useful measure to

assist the understanding of the Group’s financial position.

•Other items – These relate to non-core business items disclosed as other income and other expenses as set out in note 2.

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, however, they should not be viewed in isolation, nor considered

as a substitute for measures reported in accordance with NZ IFRS. 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. These non-GAAP measures are used by management in making the business decisions for the Group as

shown in note 1.

Judgements and estimates

Material accounting policy information and critical estimates and assumptions are disclosed in the relevant notes to the

consolidated financial statements and identified using coloured boxes. By definition these will seldom equal the actual

results. Estimates and judgements are continually assessed, and are based on professional experience and various factors,

including expectations of future events, that are deemed to be justified in given circumstances. Revisions to estimates are

recognised prospectively.

Climate change

All companies face risks and opportunities derived from the climate and are having to make strategic decisions in this

area. The Group continues to monitor its exposure to climate related risk and related regulatory requirements. The Group's

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Management Committee assesses the relevant climate risks that impact the

business in conjunction with climate-related disclosure requirements that became effective in 2023. The impacts of climate

risks on the consolidated financial statements are broad and potentially complex and will depend on the specific risks of

the sector. When the future is analysed, probability scenarios are presented where not only the physical consequences

of climate change are assessed, but also the changes in environmental regulations to face it. Both physical risks such as

susceptibility of stores and other key locations to rising sea levels and flooding, and transitional risks pose a number of

threats and opportunities to overall financial stability, potentially influencing financial markets in the future. The Group

has performed an initial assessment of potential climate-related risks and the location of the restaurants and other key

operations in each region that it operates in. This included considering whether there are any short to medium term impact

on the recognised assets of the Group arising from climate-related risks. The Group concluded that there is no material

impact on the consolidated financial statements.

PERFORMANCE

1. SEGMENTAL REPORTING

The Group is organised into five operating segments, depicting the four geographically distinct operating divisions: New

Zealand, Australia, Hawaii and California, and the corporate support function located in New Zealand. Operating segments

are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision makers. The chief

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

have been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The chief operating decision

makers consider the performance of the business from a geographic perspective, while the performance of the corporate

support function is assessed separately.

The Group evaluates performance and allocates resources to its operating segments on the basis of segment assets,

segment revenues, Store EBITDA before G&A, NZ IFRS 16, other items, and operating profit. Operating profit refers to

earnings before financing expenses and taxation expense. Revenue is from external customers.

Segment assets include items directly attributable to the segment. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost

incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill. The

Group has not disclosed segment liabilities as the chief operating decision makers evaluate performance and allocate

resources purely on the basis of aggregated Group liabilities.

 REVENUE AND EXPENSES

Revenue

Store sales revenue

Store sales revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at point of sale, measured at the fair value of the consideration

received, net of returns, discounts, and excluding Goods and Services Tax (GST), and Sales Tax in California and Hawaii.

14

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2024

Other revenue

Other revenue includes sale of goods and services to independent franchisees. Sale of goods, including cost of freight,

are recognised similar to store sales revenue. Sale of services is recognised over time as the independent franchisee

simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit provided by the Group. Royalties received are based on the revenue

generated by the independent franchisees, recognised over time.

Also included in other revenue is revenue related to the sale of new stores developed and constructed under contract

to franchisees. Under the terms of the contracts, the Group is contractually restricted from redirecting the properties

to another customer and has an enforceable right to payment for work done. Revenue from construction of stores is

therefore recognised over time using a cost-to-cost method (i.e. based on the portion of the contracted costs incurred

for work performed to date relative to the estimated total cost).

The Group continued to face challenges in the California and Australia divisions as a result of reduced household spending

impacting sales and margins, and the 29% increase in the minimum wage in California. As part of the portfolio optimisation

plan, four stores were closed in California which resulted in net assets write down of $0.7 million (Dec 2023: $0.6 million

relating to one store closure in Australia). A detailed review of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and right

of use assets of stores at the year end identified impairment indicators in several stores. Based on further analysis a net

impairment charge of $7.8 million was recognised during the year (Dec 2023: $9.0 million).

expiring in five years.

The Group has loan facilities in place totalling $405.1 million with the following financial institutions:

•Westpac Banking Corporation - $NZ20.0 million and $A70.0 million facility with $NZ12.0 million and $A42.0 million

expiring on 14 December 2026 with the remaining $NZ8.0 million and $A28.0 million expiring on 14 December 2027,

•Bank of China - $NZ20.0 million and $A40.0 million facility with $NZ12.0 million and $A24.0 million expiring on

14 December 2026 with the remaining $NZ8.0 million and $A16.0 million expiring on 14 December 2027,

•J. P. Morgan - $US75.0 million facility with $US45.0 million expiring on 14 December 2026 with the remaining

$US30.0 million expiring on 14 December 2027, and

14 December 2026 with the remaining $NZ8.0 million and $US20.0 million expiring on 14 December 2027.

Security

The Group’s AUD, USD and NZD loan facilities are supported by a Common Terms Deed entered into by Restaurant Brands

New Zealand Limited and its subsidiary companies. The Common Terms Deed includes a negative pledge and cross

guarantees between the guaranteeing subsidiaries in favour of qualifying lenders.

The Group also has indemnity guarantees of $4.0 million across various properties leased in Australia and an obligation to

provide standby letters of credit totalling $4.5 million in California. The California letters of credit expired in April 2024 and

have not yet been renewed.

The Group is subject to a number of externally imposed bank covenants as part of the terms of its secured bank

loan facilities.

17

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2024

The most significant covenants relating directly to capital management are the ratio of total debt to earnings before

interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) and restrictions relating to acquiring its own shares.

The specific covenants relating to financial ratios the Group is required to meet under the facility agreements are:

•debt coverage ratio (i.e. net debt to EBITDA),

•fixed charge coverage ratio (EBITDAL

1

to fixed charges), with EBITDAL being EBITDA before lease costs, fixed charges

comprising interest and lease costs,

•guaranteeing Group assets ratio (i.e. total guaranteeing Group tangible assets to total consolidated Group tangible

assets), and

•guaranteeing Group earnings ratio (i.e. non-guaranteeing Group EBITDA to the consolidated Group EBITDA).

These ratios exclude the impact of NZ IFRS 16 – Leases but include lease payments treated as operating expenses (as was

the treatment prior to the adoption of NZ IFRS 16).

The covenants are reported to the bank on a six monthly basis, whilst the Board reviews covenant compliance on a

monthly basis.

There have been no breaches of the covenants during the current financial year (Dec 2023: no breaches). There are also no

forecast breaches of covenants.

For more information about the Group’s exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risk see note 7.

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated

at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value, if any,

is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the

effective interest method.

6. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets as those to be measured at amortised cost (loans, receivables, and cash), and

those to be measured subsequently at fair value either through OCI or through profit or loss.

Financial assets held at amortised cost

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted

in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the

consolidated statement of financial position date. These are classified as non-current assets. The Group’s loans and

receivables comprise trade receivables, other receivables and cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statement

of financial position.

Financial assets that are stated at cost or amortised cost are reviewed individually once a year date to determine

whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Any impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss in the

consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Financial liabilities

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently measured at

amortised cost, and trade and other payables which are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at

amortised cost.

Financial instruments

A financial instrument is recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets are derecognised when the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire

or when the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and

rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e. the date

that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Group’s

obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Derivative financial instruments

The Group might use derivative financial instruments to manage the exposures that arise due to movements in foreign

currency exchange rates and interest rates arising from operational, financing and investment activities. The Group

does not hold derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting

are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. The Group did not have any derivative financial instruments as at

31 December 2024 (Dec 2023: nil).

7. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Exposure to market risk (credit, interest rate and foreign currency risk) as well as liquidity and capital risk, arises in the

normal course of the Group’s business. Derivative financial instruments may be used to hedge exposure to fluctuations in

foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

(a) Foreign currency risk

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the New Zealand

dollar. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily Australian dollars and United States dollars.

The direct exposure to foreign currency risk is small and is primarily confined to raw material purchases, some items

of property, plant and equipment and some franchise fee payments. Where any one item is significant, and considering

specific circumstances, the Group may assess hedging its currency risk exposure.

The Group has an indirect exposure to foreign currency risk on some of its locally sourced ingredients, where those

ingredients in turn have a high imported component. Where this is significant the Group contracts to a known purchase

price with its domestic supplier based on a forward cover position taken by that supplier on its imported components.

The Group has a foreign currency risk on its assets and liabilities that are denominated in Australian and US dollars as part

of its Australia and US investments.

There is currently no hedging cover in place.

(b) Interest rate risk

The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from bank loans. The Group’s loans are at fixed interest rates with terms up to

90 days. The interest rates are reset at the end of each term. As such, at balance date, the Group’s loans of $284.5 million

(Dec 2023: $289.4 million) are exposed to repricing within the next 12 months. Based on a number of scenarios, the Group

calculates the impact on profit or loss of a defined interest rate shift. Based on these scenarios the maximum loss potential

is assessed by management as to whether it is within acceptable limits.

Where necessary the Group may hedge its exposure to changes in interest rates primarily through the use of interest

rate swaps. There are guidelines as to the minimum prescribed level of hedging (zero to 100 percent), set out by the

Board, however the Board reviews all swaps before they are entered into. The Group did not have any derivative financial

instruments as at 31 December 2024 (Dec 2023: nil).

(c) Liquidity risk

In respect of the Group’s cash balances and non-derivative financial liabilities, the following table analyses the amounts into

relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at balance date to the contractual maturity date, along with their

effective interest rates at balance date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(426,809)(78,521)(348,288)

Prudent liquidity risk management implies the availability of funding through adequate amounts of committed credit

facilities. The Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.

The Group has a negative working capital balance as the nature of the business results in most sales conducted on a

cash basis. The Group has bank funding facilities, excluding overdraft facilities, of $405.1 million (Dec 2023: $376.1 million)

available at variable rates. The amount undrawn at 31 December 2024 was $120.7 million (Dec 2023: $86.7 million) and

therefore the Group has the ability to fully pay debts as they fall due.

The Group has lease liabilities with future cash payments as disclosed in the table below:

$NZ000's31 Dec 202431 Dec 2023

Within one year71,08365,827

One to five years290,985252,695

Beyond five years872,128838,967

1,234,1961,157,489

This includes future lease options that the Group currently expects to exercise and is not discounted for the future nature of

payments, therefore, the amounts in the table do not reflect the Group’s future contractual minimum payments.

(d) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash deposits with banks and financial institutions and outstanding trade and other receivables.

No collateral is required in respect of financial assets. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit

risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. The nature of the business results in most sales being conducted on a cash basis

that significantly reduces the risk that the Group is exposed to. The Group’s bankers are used for investing and cash

handling purposes.

There were no financial assets past due nor impaired at the balance date (Dec 2023: nil).

At 31 December 2024 there were no significant concentrations of credit risk and the maximum exposure to credit risk is

represented by the carrying value of each financial asset in the consolidated statement of financial position (Dec 2023: nil).

(e) Fair values and set-off

The carrying values of bank loans are the fair value of these liabilities. A Group set-off arrangement is in place between

certain bank accounts operated by the Group.

Sensitivity analysis

In managing interest rate and currency risks the Group aims to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations on the Group’s

earnings. Over the longer term, however, permanent changes in foreign exchange and interest rates on a weighted average

balance will have an impact on profit.

21

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2024

At 31 December 2024 it is estimated that a general increase of one percentage point in interest rates would decrease the

Group profit before income tax by approximately $2.8 million (Dec 2023: $2.9 million), however equity would decrease by

$2.1 million (Dec 2023: $2.2 million). A one percentage point decrease in interest rates would increase the Group profit

before income tax by approximately $2.8 million (Dec 2023: $2.9 million), however equity would increase by $2.1 million (Dec

2023: $2.2 million).

A general increase of one percentage point in the value of the New Zealand dollar against other foreign currencies would

have minimal impact on the cost of the Group’s directly imported ingredients denominated in foreign currencies.

(f) Capital risk management

The Group’s capital comprises share capital, reserves and retained earnings.

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue to operate as a going

concern, and to maintain an optimal capital structure commensurate with risk and return and reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders,

return capital to shareholders, or issue new shares.

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price

less the estimated costs of marketing, selling and distribution. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in first-out

method and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing condition

and location. The cost of inventories consumed is recognised as an expense and included in cost of goods sold in the

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2024

Property, plant and equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis to allocate the cost of an asset, less any residual value, over its

estimated useful life.

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Leasehold improvements 5 – 25 years

Plant and equipment 3 – 12.5 years

Motor vehicles 4 – 5 years

Furniture and fittings 3 – 10 years

Computer equipment 3 – 10 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at the reporting date.

Depreciation expense is included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income within cost of goods sold,

and general and administration expenses.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in

profit or loss in the consolidated statement comprehensive income.

Significant judgements and estimates – store impairment testing

Impairment testing involves significant estimates and judgements. The outcome of impairment tests may result in a

material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the Group’s assets.

Impairment charge is recognised in other expenses in the consolidated statement of the comprehensive income.

Store assets include property, plant and equipment, right of use assets and intangible assets. The Group reviews

store assets for impairment indicators at each reporting period. Impairment is assessed at the assets’ cash-generating

unit (CGU) level, which is the smallest group of assets that generates independent cash inflows. Management has

determined that individual stores are cash generating units for the purpose of assessing impairment for store assets.

An impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income when the asset’s carrying

amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is based on the CGU’s fair value less costs of disposal

or value in use.

The stores showing an impairment using the value in use method are retested using fair value less cost of disposal

and the higher result of the two is applied. The value in use calculation evaluates recoverability based on the store’s

forecasted cash flows, which incorporate estimated sales growth and expected margin based upon the latest plans

for the store. Fair value less costs of disposal was determined by discounting the future net cash flows generated

from the continuing use of the CGUs, less disposal cost of 1% of the recoverable amount. If, in a subsequent period,

the amount of the impairment decreases due to an increase in the service potential of an asset after the impairment

was recognised, the reversal of the previously recognised impairment is recognised in the consolidated statement of

comprehensive income.

Key assumptions in the determination of recoverable amount are:

•the estimate of future cash flows of the store incorporating estimated sales growth and expected margin.

•the discount rate based on the weighted average cost of capital reflecting the current market assessment of the time

value of money and the business risk of the cash generating unit.

•the terminal growth rate assumption reflects the long-term projected inflation relevant to the specific region/market.

Estimates of future cash flows are highly subjective being based on management’s judgement and can be significantly

impacted by changes in the business or economic conditions.

Following a review of store performance and consideration of other impairment indicators, the Group determined that

there were stores across all four segments that required a calculation of the recoverable amount as there were impairment

indicators that mainly arose due to inflationary pressures on the financial performance.

*Included in the net impairment value of $7.8 million in 2024 is $1.5 million relating to the impairment of intangible assets

(Dec 2023: $2.1 million).

Based on the calculations, an impairment of $7.8 million was recognised during the financial year (Dec 2023: $9.0 million)

against property, plant and equipment and intangible assets in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as

part of other expenses. This comprised eleven stores with recoverable amounts lower than their respective carrying value

of assets.

The Group also evaluated stores’ assets which have been previously impaired to determine whether the conditions that

gave rise to the initial impairments still existed at the balance date. A recalculation is performed to reassess the recoverable

amount and determine if the headroom exists. For the stores that have demonstrated positive sustainable trading results,

management may conclude there is sufficient evidence to support an impairment reversal. There was no impairment

reversal recognised due to the improved performance for the year ended 31 December 2024 (Dec 2023: nil).

 LEASES

Key estimates and judgements

There are several judgements and estimates in calculating the future lease liabilities and right of use asset value.

These include:

•incremental borrowing rate. The Group engages an independent valuation expert to establish the incremental

borrowing rates applied during the period.

•lease terms, including any rights of renewal expected to be exercised. The Group has assumed that all rights

of renewal are expected to be exercised which is consistent with the Group’s strategy and previous leases. This

judgement has been applied unless a store closure or a decision to relocate a store is known when valuing the lease.

Foreign exchange movement35,6341,896

Additions relate to new leases entered into by the Group.

The Group's leases relate to land and buildings. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 1 to 50 years

but may have extension options. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different

terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as

security for borrowing purposes.

Under NZ IFRS 16, leases are recognised as a right of use asset with a corresponding lease liability. Each lease

payment is allocated between the lease liability and the finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the statement of

comprehensive income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining

balance of the liability for each period. The right of use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and

the lease term on a straight line basis.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the

net present value of fixed payments and known fixed lease increases, less any lease incentives receivable. Right of use

assets are measured at cost comprising the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability and any restoration

costs. These assets are subsequently depreciated using the straight line method from the commencement date to the

end of the lease term.

The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index, rate or market rent

review, which are not included in the lease liability or right of use asset until they take effect.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the

lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds

necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

The Group has applied the recognition exemption allowed by the standard in respect of short-term and low

value leases.

Payments associated with short term leases and leases of low value assets are recognised on a straight line basis as an

expense in the statement of comprehensive income. Short term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

Low value assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

Goodwill

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and business combinations. Goodwill is measured at cost less

accumulated impairment losses and has an indefinite useful life. Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units and is

tested annually for impairment. Where the Group disposes of an operation within a CGU, the goodwill associated with

the operation disposed of is part of the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed of in this manner is measured based

on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the CGU retained.

Franchise fees

Franchise fees are costs incurred in obtaining franchise rights or licences to operate quick service and takeaway

restaurant concepts. They include for example, the initial fee paid to a system franchisor when a new store is opened.

These are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment costs. Amortisation is on a

straight line basis over the life of the applicable franchise or licence agreement.

Concept development costs

Concept development costs include certain costs, other than the direct cost of obtaining the franchise, associated with

the establishment of quick service and takeaway restaurant concepts. These include, for example, professional fees and

consulting costs associated with the establishment of a new brand or business acquisition. These costs are capitalised

where the concept is proven to be commercially feasible and the related future economic benefits are expected to

exceed those costs with reasonable certainty. These are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation

and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight line basis over the period which future

economic benefits are reasonably expected to be derived.

Acquired software costs

Software costs have a finite useful life. Software costs are capitalised and amortised on a straight line basis over the

estimated economic life of 3-8 years.

Amortisation

Amortisation charge is recognised in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Impairment

Impairment charge is recognised in other expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Significant judgements and estimates – impairment testing

Impairment testing involves significant estimates and judgements. The outcome of impairment tests can result in a

material adjustment to the carrying amount of the Group’s goodwill balances.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the Group’s operating brands which represent the CGU

within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.

In 2024 the recoverable amount of each CGU was based on fair value less costs of disposal approach. Fair value less

costs of disposal was determined by discounting the future net cash flows generated from the continuing use of the CGU,

less disposal cost of 2% of the recoverable amount. The cash flow inputs are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair

value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs, including own credit risk. Cash flows were projected based on the

2025–2028 financial plan as approved by the Board of Directors.

The key assumptions used in the impairment testing are as follows:

The terminal growth rate is calculated on a CGU basis, based on the 2028 year and assumes a continuous sales growth

equal to the minimum of projected inflation estimates of 2.1% to 2.5% (Dec 2023: 2.1% to 2.5%).

The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future trends in the industry and

are based on both external sources and internal sources including Board approved forecasts (historical data). The key

assumptions are detailed below:

•Store Sales growth – Average annual growth rate over the four-year forecast period based on past performance,

management’s expectations of market development, current industry trends and including long-term inflation forecasts

for each territory.

•Store EBITDA margin 2025–2028. Based on past performance and management’s expectations for the future. Store

EBITDA growth has been disclosed as a key assumption as a number of costs are variable and link directly to revenue

levels, such as the cost of labour, and food costs. Other fixed costs of the CGUs, which do not vary significantly with

revenue changes, are forecast based on the current structure of the business, adjusting for inflationary increases.

•Terminal growth rate – This is the growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the budget period. The rates are

consistent with expected long-term inflation for each territory in which the CGU operates.

•Discount rate – The rate used to reflect specific risks relating to the relevant segments and the countries in which

they operate.

In respect of the following CGUs any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions used in the calculations would not

cause the carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount:

•New Zealand KFC

•New Zealand Pizza Hut

No impairment was recognised in this financial year for the California CGU goodwill, however, a decrease to 3.7%-7.3%

for the Store EBITDA margin percentage assumption would result in the carrying amount being equal to the recoverable

amount (breakeven point).

OTHER NOTES

17. TAXATION

Current and deferred taxes are calculated on the basis of tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at reporting date

and are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive

income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in

equity, respectively.

Deferred income tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities

and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements.

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the

balance date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred tax

liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable

amounts will be available against which to utilise those temporary differences.

The Group offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to

set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to

income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which

intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities

simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be

settled or recovered.

Tax returns for the Group and the detailed calculations that are required for filing tax returns are not prepared until

after the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Estimates of these calculations are made for the purpose of

calculating income tax expense, current tax and deferred tax balances. Any difference between the final tax outcomes

and the estimations made in previous years will affect current year balances.

The consolidated statement of comprehensive income and statements of cash flows have been prepared exclusive of

GST. All items in the consolidated statement of financial position are stated net of GST, with the exception of receivables

and payables, which are inclusive of GST.

OECD Pillar Two model rules

The Group is within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two model rules, also referred to as GloBE (Global anti-Base Erosion). As of

31 December 2024 the Pillar Two legislation was enacted in New Zealand, the jurisdiction in which Restaurant Brands New

Zealand Limited is incorporated. The rules will come into effect in New Zealand from 1 January 2025. The Group applies the

NZ IAS 12 exception to recognising and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two

income taxes. Under the legislation, the Group is liable to pay a top-up tax for the difference between the GloBE effective

tax rate for each jurisdiction and the 15% minimum rate. Pillar Two is effective in Australia from 1 January 2024 and although

the legislation has not yet been enacted in the USA, the Group has effective tax rates that exceed 15% in all jurisdictions in

which it operates. Based on the status of the implementation process and the effective tax rate above 15% the rules are not

expected to have a material impact.

Imputation credits

The below amounts represent the balance of the imputation account as at the end of the reporting period, adjusted for:

•Imputation credits that will arise from the payment of the amount of the provision for income tax;

•Imputation credits that will be utilised from the payment of dividends recognised as a liability at the reporting date; and

•Imputation credits that will arise from the receipt of dividends recognised as receivables at the reporting date.

The current and deferred tax rates for the period were calculated using rates of 28% for New Zealand, 30% for Australia, 28%

for California, and 26% for Hawaii (Dec 2023: 28% New Zealand, 30% Australia, 28% for California and 26% for Hawaii).

In December 2023, Gordon Legal and Shine Lawyers filed two class actions in the Federal Court of Australia on behalf of

certain KFC employees naming the franchisor, QSR Pty Limited (the Group’s Australian operating subsidiary) and 88 other

franchisees as respondents. The two class actions were subsequently combined into a single proceeding. It is expected that

mediation proceedings will commence in relation to the claim in 2025 with an initial trial process to follow in the event that

the parties fail to reach an agreement to resolve the matter during mediation. As at balance date, there was no material

impact to the consolidated financial statements, however the Group will continue to assess the claim and will update the

market in the event that the claim is expected to have a material impact on the Group.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the shareholders of Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited

OUR OPINION

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements (the financial statements) of Restaurant Brands New

Zealand Limited (the Company), including its subsidiaries (the Group), present fairly, in all material respects, the financial

position of the Group as at 31 December 2024, its financial performance, and its cash flows for the year then ended

in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and International

Financial Reporting Standards Accounting Standards (IFRS Accounting Standards).

What we have audited

The Group's financial statements comprise:

•the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024;

•the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;

•the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;

•the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and

•the notes to the financial statements, comprising material accounting policy information and other

explanatory information.

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)) and

International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the

Auditor’s

responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for

Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand

Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including

International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code),

and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

In our capacity as auditor and assurance practitioner, our firm provides other assurance services and agreed-upon

procedures. Our firm also provides another service relating to the provision of a whistleblower line. The firm has no other

relationship with, or interests in, the Group.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the

financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial

statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED)
To the shareholders of Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited

Description of the key audit matter

Goodwill impairment assessment - KFC and Taco

Bell California

Goodwill recognised in relation to the KFC and Taco

Bell California cash-generating unit (CGU) amounted to

$34.0 million as at

31 December 2024 (2023: $30.0 million).

During the year, this CGU incurred a net loss after tax

of $24.7 million (refer to note 1 of the consolidated

financial statements).

Our audit focused on this CGU as its financial performance

has continued to be adversely impacted by cost pressures

combined with the inherent judgement involved in

estimating future business performance.

Management performed an annual impairment assessment

to determine the recoverable amount using a discounted

cash flow model under a Fair Value Less Cost of Disposal

(FVLCOD) approach. This was based on the 4-year financial

plan approved by the Board of Directors. The output was

compared to the carrying amount of the associated net

assets, including goodwill held by the KFC and Taco Bell

California CGU.

The recoverable amount (based on the FVLCOD model)

was higher than the carrying value and as a result,

no impairment expense was recognised. However,

management identified a certain scenario where a

reasonably possible change in the store EBITDA margin

would result in the carrying amount being equal to its

recoverable amount.

Refer to note 16 of the consolidated financial statements.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Our procedures in relation to management’s assessment of

goodwill impairment for the KFC and Taco Bell California

CGU, included the following:

•updating our understanding of the business

process applied by management in performing the

impairment test;

•reviewing prior year actual store sales and profitability

against the original budgeted performance to assess

management’s ability to accurately forecast;

•agreeing forecast future performance included in the

FVLCOD impairment assessment to the 4-year financial

plan approved by the Board of Directors;

•challenging key estimates and assumptions used in

the FVLCOD model in relation to: store sales growth,

store EBITDA margin, terminal growth rate and discount

rate and assessing whether these are reasonable with

reference to management initiatives and strategies,

recent monthly financial performance and the risks for

the CGU;

•evaluating whether corporate costs had been allocated

appropriately and included in the cash flows for the CGU;

•engaging our auditor’s valuation expert to assess

the reasonableness of the terminal growth rate and

discount rate;

•reviewing industry trends and external market forecasts

for the industry to determine the reasonableness of

management’s forecast;

•testing the calculations and mathematical accuracy of

the FVLCOD model, including the inputs and compared

the recoverable amount to the carrying value of the

CGU’s assets;

•evaluating management’s sensitivity analysis to

ascertain the impact of reasonably possible changes in

key assumptions;

•performing sensitivity analysis and stress testing based

on changes in certain assumptions to evaluate whether

there was an impairment; and

•assessing the adequacy of disclosures in the

consolidated financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED)
To the shareholders of Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited

Description of the key audit matter

Impairment assessment of store property, plant and

equipment, intangible assets and right of use assets

For the year ended 31 December 2024, the Group

recognised impairment of $7.8 million (2023: $9.0 million)

in relation to CGUs in the New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii

and California regions (refer to note 2 of the consolidated

financial statements). For the purposes of store property,

plant, and equipment, intangible assets and right of

use asset impairment testing, each individual store is

considered to be a separate CGU.

An assessment was performed by management to identify

stores with impairment indicators. This  included those

that have experienced continued losses. For these stores,

management performed Value In Use (VIU) and/or FVLCOD

calculations to assess whether the associated carrying

amounts of property, plant and equipment, intangible

assets and right of use assets were recoverable.  

Key assumptions used in management’s discounted cash

flow model are store sales growth, store EBITDA margin,

store EBITDA margin terminal year, terminal growth rate

and discount rate.

This is a key focus of our audit due to the value of property,

plant and equipment, intangible assets and right of use

assets held by the Group.

Refer to notes 14 and 16 of the consolidated

financial statements.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Our audit procedures included:

•considering whether the group of assets identified by

management as a CGU is appropriate and recalculating

the carrying value of each CGU;

•updating our understanding of the process applied by

management in identifying stores with potential for

impairment and the resulting impairment assessments;

•in addition to stores identified by management, we

developed independent risk assessment criteria to

identify stores with a greater risk of impairment such as

larger asset carrying value stores experiencing sustained

losses and compared to those identified by management

for impairment testing;

•for a sample of stores identified above, we tested

the mathematical accuracy of the VIU and/or FVLCOD

impairment models prepared by management and

challenged key assumptions used: store sales growth,

store EBITDA margin and store EBITDA margin terminal

year, by assessing whether management’s assumptions

were reasonable against historical performance and

whether they take account of ongoing uncertainty from

economic challenges. This includes considering the

potential for future store closures and the impact of

closures on remaining lease terms in respect of right of

use assets recognised; 

•engaging our own auditor’s valuation expert to assess

the reasonableness of the terminal growth rates and

discount rates; 

•evaluating the feasibility of management’s plans to

improve store profitability; 

•evaluating management’s sensitivity analysis to

ascertain the impact of reasonably possible changes in

key assumptions on the recoverable amount; and

•assessing the adequacy of disclosures in the

consolidated financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED)
To the shareholders of Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited

Description of the key audit matter

Revenue recognition

The Group’s revenue totalled $1.5 billion (2023: $1.4 billion)

for the year ended 31 December 2024. The Group

primarily earns revenue from store sales, which accounts

for approximately 95% of total revenue, while other

revenue includes sale of goods and services to

independent franchisees.

Refer to notes 1 and 2 of the consolidated

financial statements.

Given the volume of transactions and significance of

revenue recognised across four regions, this required

significant auditor attention and was considered to be a key

audit matter.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Our audit approach to test revenue is a combination

of controls and substantive testing and included the

following procedures:

•updating our understanding of the systems, processes

and controls in place underpinning the accounting and

recognition of revenue in each region;

•testing, on a sample basis, management’s controls over

the reconciliations of the point-of-sale-systems, general

ledger and bank statements;

•verifying the completeness of revenue recognised, on

a sample basis, by agreeing daily cash received to the

general ledger;

•for store sales revenue, evaluating the flow of revenue

journals to validate that revenue transactions are

settled in cash. For those not settled in cash, agreeing

accounting entries to supporting documents, on a

sample basis;

•for a sample of other revenue transactions, examining

invoices issued to independent franchisees and cash

remittances, where paid;

•performing analytics on franchise fees and royalties to

verify completeness of other revenue transactions;

•testing bank and bank clearing account reconciliations

at year end by agreeing material reconciling items to

supporting documents; and

•assessing the adequacy of disclosures in the

consolidated financial statements.

44

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED)
To the shareholders of Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited

OUR AUDIT APPROACH

Overview

Overall group materiality: $7.4 million, which represents approximately 0.5%

of total revenue.

We chose total revenue as the benchmark because, in our view, it is the

benchmark against which the performance of the Group is most commonly

measured by users, and is a generally accepted benchmark.

Following our assessment of the risk of material misstatement, we:

•performed full scope audits for all the Group’s principal business units

which correspond to its market segments in New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii

and California based on their financial significance; and

•performed specified audit procedures and analytical procedures over the

remaining entities and on consolidation entries.

As reported above, we have three key audit matters, being:

•Goodwill impairment assessment - KFC and Taco Bell California

•Impairment assessment of store property, plant and equipment, intangible

assets and right of use assets

•Revenue recognition

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial

statements. In particular, we considered where management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of

significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently

uncertain. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among

other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due

to fraud.

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance

about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or

error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the

economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall

Group materiality for the financial statements as a whole as set out above. These, together with qualitative considerations,

helped us to determine the scope of our audit, the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures, and to evaluate the

effect of misstatements, both individually and in the aggregate, on the financial statements as a whole.

45

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED)
To the shareholders of Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited

How we tailored our group audit scope

We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the financial

statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the

industry in which the Group operates.

We performed full scope audits for all of the Group’s principal business units in New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii

and California.

The materiality levels applied in the full scope audits of the principal business units were calculated by reference to a portion

of Group materiality appropriate to the relative scale of the business concerned.

OTHER INFORMATION

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the

Annual Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The other information we

obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report comprised the Historical Summary, Group Pro Forma Profit Statement,

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and the Directors’ Report. The remaining other information comprising the Annual Report is

expected to be made available to us after that date.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of

audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,

consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in

the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report,

we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have

nothing to report in this regard.

When we read the other information not yet received, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are

required to communicate the matter to the Directors and use our professional judgement to determine the appropriate

action to take.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial

statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as the Directors

determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether

due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going

concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and using the going concern basis of accounting

unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

46

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED)
To the shareholders of Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements, as a whole, are free from

material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable

assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) and ISAs

will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered

material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users

taken on the basis of these financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the External Reporting

Board’s website at:

https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards/assurance-standards/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1-1/

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

WHO WE REPORT TO

This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might

state those matters which we are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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 Company and the Company’s

shareholders, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Karen Shires.

FY25 Expectations
23


New Zealand to continue growing with similar new

store builds. Hawaii to maintain strong position.


Australia positioned to recover during second half of

FY25 as inflationary pressures ease.


California recovering with new innovation, digital

channel growth and margin initiatives.


Capex spend expected to continue at FY24 levels on

mix of new stores, refurbishments and technology.

FY25 Outlook

25
Dividend update


Given the demands of the store development programme on the Group’s

capital resources and ongoing cost of living pressures on consumer’s

spending Directors believe it is in the best interests of the Group to retain

cash in order to support growth and maintain funding flexibility, therefore

the Directors have not deemed it appropriate to declare a final dividend

payment for FY24.

Profit guidance


No guidance at present given ongoing economic volatility in the markets.
