Restaurant Brands once again delivered record total Group store sales of $703.2 million for the six months ended
30 June
2025 (1H 2025) despite macroeconomic uncertainty.
Group store sales increased by 2.3% on 1H 2024 driven by strong performance in Hawaii and supported by new store
openings in New Zealand.
Group NPAT was $11.9 million, down 5.6% compared to the same period last year. The decrease reflects the slower-than-
anticipated improvement in macroeconomic conditions across key regions, which has limited the impact of strategic
initiatives including cost control measures, operational efficiencies, and pricing programmes.
Group Store EBITDA was $90.7 million, down $3.9 million or 4.1% on 1H 2024. In addition to challenging market conditions,
increased labour costs, energy, rental expenses, and higher aggregator costs affected margin recovery.
We remain focused on delivering profitable and sustainable growth, with customer centricity at the heart of our approach,
alongside operational innovation and high-performing teams. Across all markets we are evolving menus, expanding digital
channels, upgrading store formats and enhancing customer experience. This is supported by embedding new technologies,
advancing sustainability initiatives, and upgrading operational processes to lift performance across the business. We also
invest in our people through training, leadership development, and operational tools to help our teams perform at their best
every day.

GROUP OPERATING RESULTS
We opened one new RBD-owned store in 1H 2025 (16 net new stores from 1H 2024), maintained our ongoing store
refurbishment programme, and continued to optimise the store portfolio to focus on key growth areas.
As at 30 June 2025, Restaurant Brands’ store numbers totalled 522 (380 owned and 142 franchised), including 156 owned
stores in New Zealand, 83 stores in Australia, 70 in Hawaii, and 71 in California. Of the 143 Pizza Hut stores in New Zealand,
137 are owned by independent franchisees.

Store EBITDA ($m)46.949.2-2.3-4.7
Store EBITDA as a % of sales15.115.9
Store numbers (owned and franchised)298278
New Zealand store sales were $309.7 million, up $0.1 million on 1H 2024, primarily reflecting the opening of five new stores
in 2H 2024 and one further KFC store in 1H 2025.
Same store sales were down 3.1% due to continued cost pressures affecting consumer spending. The subdued local
economy, particularly in the hospitality and retail industries, continues to impact trading conditions across New Zealand,
particularly in Auckland and Wellington.
The New Zealand KFC business continued to execute breakthrough marketing initiatives and promotional campaigns. Pizza
Hut achieved sales growth supported by strong menu strategies that include bringing back fan favourites with a modern
twist. Carls' Jr. rolled out a bold new communications strategy, an ecommerce platform, and a menu makeover. Taco Bell
maintained steady sales growth supported by marketing campaigns and menu innovations.
Store EBITDA was $46.9 million, down $2.3 million or 4.7% decrease on 1H 2024. Store EBITDA margin of 15.1% was lower
than the prior year as cost saving and margin improvement initiatives were offset by higher aggregator costs and increased
labour rates. Strategies to mitigate these impacts remain in place and are assessed regularly.
The robust Pizza Hut network in New Zealand continues to grow, with two new franchised stores opened in 1H 2025
bringing the total to 143 stores (137 franchised) as at 30 June 2025.
One new KFC store also opened in 1H 2025 adding to the five new stores in 2H 2024. This brings total RBD-owned store
numbers in New Zealand to 156.

Store sales in Australia were $A137.5 million, a slight 1.5% reduction on 1H 2024 or A$2.1 million, reflecting ongoing
cost-of-living pressures. There were, however, early signs of recovery following interest rate reductions announced earlier
this year.
Same store sales decreased 1.0% with the first quarter more heavily impacted by cost pressures and slight improvement in
the second quarter. The successful launch of the KFC brand campaigns, coupled with ongoing focus on product innovation
and value for money has helped to mitigate the sales decline and lift consumer brand metrics within the category. We

GROUP OPERATING RESULTS
continue to invest in improving the customer experience across all sales channels and upgrading assets to maintain
modernity and relevance.
Store EBITDA was $A14.9 million, down 3.2% or $A0.5 million on 1H 2024. Margin improvement initiatives continue to help
offset inflationary pressures on labour, electricity, and rental costs.
In $NZ terms, the Australian division contributed store sales of $NZ150.2 million (down 0.5%), and Store EBITDA of
$NZ16.3 million (down 2.1%).
RBD operates 83 owned stores in Australia. Two Taco Bell stores were closed during 1H 2025 as part of our network
optimisation strategy.

Store numbers (owned)7070
Store sales in Hawaii (including Guam and Saipan) were $US88.8 million, up $US4.5 million or 5.3% on 1H 2024 driven by
Taco Bell performance, which offset a slight decline in Pizza Hut sales.
Same store sales increased 5.5% on 1H 2024, supported by strong marketing and promotional programmes that continued
to drive sales growth, alongside the successful implementation of pricing strategies. Staffing shortages have eased since 1H
2024, allowing all key stores to extend trading hours and capture the late-night customer market.
Store EBITDA was $US14.3 million, down $US0.6 million or 4.0% on 1H 2024, mainly due to $US0.6 million in insurance
proceeds relating to the Lahaina wildfires being recorded in 1H 2024. Margin recovery initiatives helped offset the impact of
inflation and high energy prices, which continue to place pressure on both our supply chain and consumer spending.
In $NZ terms, the Hawaiian division contributed $NZ152.9 million in store sales, up 10.4% on 1H 2024, and $NZ24.6 million in
Store EBITDA, up 0.2%.
RBD operates 70 owned stores in Hawaii.

Store sales in California were $US52.5 million, down $US1.1 million, or 2.1% on 1H 2024, reflecting store closures and ongoing
elevated cost-of-living pressures that continue to impact consumer spending.
Same store sales increased by 1.9% driven by KFC marketing campaigns and strategic pricing which lifted repeat business
and transaction volumes.
Store EBITDA was US$1.7 million, down $US0.9 million or 34.6% on 1H 2024, primarily due to the higher impact of increased
minimum wages in 1H 2025 versus 1H 2024, which has constrained margin recovery.

GROUP OPERATING RESULTS
We continue to focus on retaining our existing customer base while attracting new customers into our restaurants and
online to increase profitability as market conditions improve, coupled with our ongoing cost savings initiatives.
In $NZ terms, the Californian operations contributed $NZ90.5 million in store sales, up 2.7% on 1H 2024, and $NZ2.9 million
in Store EBITDA, a decrease of 31.9%.
RBD operates 71 owned stores in California. As part of the ongoing optimisation of the portfolio to focus on key growth
areas, two stores were closed in 2H 2024.
CORPORATE & OTHER
Group General and Administration (G&A) expenses were $34.0 million, an increase of $0.9 million or 2.8% on 1H 2024. G&A
as a percentage of total revenue was 4.6%, flat on 1H 2024, and is supported by the continuation of initiatives aimed at
reducing non-essential G&A expenses across the Group.
Depreciation charges of $25.0 million for 1H 2025 were $0.5 million higher than 1H 2024. The small increase is due to the
recent new stores opened and store refurbishments, particularly in New Zealand. Depreciation of right-of-use assets is also
up $0.8 million, to $22.6 million, reflecting the signing of new leases.
Financing costs of $27.7 million were down $0.8 million on 1H 2024, primarily driven by lower levels of bank debt and
decreased interest rates charged on the Group loans.
Tax expense was $4.5 million, slightly up $0.7 million. The effective tax rate is 27.4%, an increase from 23.3% on 1H 2024
largely due to additional tax deductions in 1H 2024.
BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW
Total assets of the Group were $1,406.0 million, down $85.5 million on 31 December 2024, primarily due to the revaluation
of non-current assets at a stronger NZ dollar against US dollar at 30 June 2025 versus 31 December 2024. Cash and cash
equivalents decreased by $0.9 million from 31 December 2024.
Bank debt at the end of 1H 2025 was $238.1 million compared to $284.5 million as of 31 December 2024, due to a
combination of net repayments of $30.5 million and $15.8 million of exchange rate effects. As at 30 June 2025, the Group
had bank debt facilities totalling $383.8 million ($145.7 million undrawn at 30 June 2025).
The Group remains comfortably within all banking covenants with a Net Debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.6 : 1 (1.9 : 1 in 1H 2024).
Net operating cash inflows were $61.4 million, up $0.5 million on 1H 2024. The increase is mainly driven by higher sales and
is partially offset by increased payments to suppliers generating a net cash inflow of $2.8 million higher versus 1H 2024.
Income tax payment generated a higher cash outflow by $2.9 million which was offset by lower interest paid of $0.7 million.
Net investing cash outflows were $13.3 million, $19.0 million lower than $32.3 million in 1H 2024 mainly due to reduced
spend on new store builds versus the same period last year.

GROUP OPERATING RESULTS
OUTLOOK
While global economic conditions remain challenging the Board and Management note the resilience of our brands, our
markets, and our teams.
The prolonged inflationary environment and increasing cost-of-living pressures continue to impact discretionary spending
across the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) industry and affordability and value-for-money are becoming more central to
consumer purchase decisions.
Despite these headwinds, the Group continues to progress its growth strategy with a focus on margin recovery, operational
efficiency, and targeted investment. These initiatives are delivering measurable improvements, and momentum is expected
to continue through 2025.
The positive customer response to recent menu innovations, promotional programmes, and digital service enhancements
has supported transaction volumes and improved store sales in certain markets, reinforcing our strategic direction.
While elevated labour and energy costs persist, there are early signs of improvement in the global economic outlook.
Inflation is stabilising in many markets, and central banks are signalling potential monetary policy easing in the latter half of
the year. These trends are expected to progressively improve operating conditions into 2026.
We remain focused on disciplined cost management, operational efficiency, and targeted investment in technology and
store development. As we continue to build scale and resilience across the Group, we remain confident in our pathway
toward achieving our $2 billion store sales target and delivering long-term value for all stakeholders.
The Board thanks our customers, shareholders, and the dedicated Restaurant Brands teams for their ongoing support
and commitment.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
for the six months ended 30 June 2025
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. 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:

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the six months ended 30 June 2025
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 interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2025 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 for the year ended 31 December 2024 which were prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards Accounting Standards (IFRS Accounting Standards) and New
Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS). The accounting policies have been applied on
a basis consistent with those used and described in the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice (“NZ GAAP”).
New standards and amendments
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 2025 that had a material impact on these interim
financial statements.
2.
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 general and administration expenses, NZ IFRS 16 and operating profit before
other items (a non-GAAP measure). Operating profit refers to earnings before interest and taxation. Revenue is from
external customers.
The Group believes that the non-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 New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards Accounting
Standards (NZ IFRS). The non-GAAP measure presented does not have a standardised meaning prescribed by GAAP and
therefore may not be comparable to similar financial information presented by other entities.
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

the basis of aggregated Group liabilities.

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 late 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 reporting 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 review report
To the shareholders of Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited
Report on the consolidated interim financial statements
Our conclusion
We have reviewed the consolidated interim financial statements (financial statements) of Restaurant Brands New
Zealand Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group) on pages 14 to 24, which comprise the
consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2025, 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 notes, comprising material accounting policy information and other
explanatory information.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying financial
statements of the Group do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 30
June 2025, 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.
In our capacity as auditor and assurance practitioner, our firm provides other assurance services and agreed-upon
procedures. Our firm also provides a whistleblower line. The firm has no other relationship with, or interests in, the
Group.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial statements
The Directors of the Company are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and fair presentation of
these 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 financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
PwC
Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the financial statements
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the 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
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 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 and International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) 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 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 Company
and the Company’s 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.
