(1) System-wide comparable sales growth and system-wide sales growth are calculated on a constant currency basis and include sales at franchise restaurants and company-owned restaurants.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Diluted Adjusted Earnings Per Share are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" for further detail.

Organic revenue growth was 5.4%, excluding the impact of refranchising and FX headwinds. On a reported basis, total revenues decreased 9.2% to $540.8 million, compared to $595.4 million in the prior year period due to refranchising transactions in the U.S. and Canada and EMEA and unfavorable FX impact, partially offset by comparable sales growth across all segments and increased franchise and property revenues.

Organic Adjusted EBITDA growth was 19.0%, excluding the impact of refranchising and FX headwinds. On a reported basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.7% to $172.0 million, compared to $149.9 million in the prior year period due to improved results in all operating segments. Results were particularly strong in the U.S. and Canada due to the positive impact from our new product launches and accompanying advertising campaign.

Adjusted net income and diluted adjusted EPS increased 31.8% and 29.5%, respectively, compared to the prior year, primarily due to an increase in income from operations, partially offset by increases in interest expense and income tax expense.

Operational and Segment Highlights

System-wide comparable sales growth was positive across all segments. The U.S. and Canada delivered 4.4% comparable sales growth driven by strong sales and product volumes from the largest expansion of menu items in BKW's history, including smoothies, frappes, and wraps, introduced in April. Latin America and the Caribbean ("LAC") delivered double-digit comparable sales growth of 10.5%, driven by strong performance in Brazil and Mexico. EMEA delivered comparable sales growth of 3.3%, driven by successful promotions in Germany, and APAC delivered comparable sales growth of 2.1%, primarily driven by the impact of an extra trading week in the quarter in Australia.

As part of BKW's global refranchising strategy, the company refranchised 386 company-owned restaurants domestically and 78 company-owned restaurants internationally during the quarter. This includes 278 restaurants that were sold to Carrols Restaurant Group, BKW's largest franchisee, in return for a 28.9% equity stake and total cash payments of approximately $16.2 million. In connection with this quarter's refranchising transactions, BKW's U.S. and Canadian franchisees have agreed to remodel 564 restaurants, bringing the total remodel commitment in the region to more than 1,500 restaurants as of June 30, 2012.

As part of BKW's international expansion strategy, the company announced the establishment of two joint ventures with proven franchisees in Russia and China. In Russia, the joint venture has committed to open several hundred restaurants over the next few years. In China, the joint venture has committed to open 1,000 restaurants over the next five to seven years, representing the largest multi-unit development agreement in the brand's history.

Cash and Liquidity

At quarter end, total debt was $3.1 billion and net debt was $2.7 billion. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, BKW repurchased and retired Senior Notes with an aggregate face value of $3.0 million and repurchased Discount Notes with an aggregate accreted value of $61.1 million, which represents 13.6% of the original issuance. As a result of the improvement in net debt and in trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA, the net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio improved to 4.2x at June 30, 2012 from 4.6x at December 31, 2011.

Key Business Metrics

We evaluate our restaurants and assess our business based on the following operating metrics.

System-wide sales growth refers to the change in sales at all Company-owned and franchise restaurants in one period from the same period in the prior year. System-wide comparable sales growth refers to the change in restaurant sales in one period from the same prior year period for restaurants that have been open for thirteen months or longer. Comparable sales and sales growth are measured on a constant currency basis, which means that results exclude the effect of foreign currency translation and are calculated by translating current year results at prior year exchange rates. We analyze key operating metrics on a constant currency basis as this helps identify underlying business trends, without distortion from the effects of currency movements ("FX Impact").

Franchise sales represent sales at all franchised restaurants and are revenues to our franchisees. We do not record franchise sales as revenues; however, our franchise revenues include royalties based on a percentage of franchise sales. Average restaurant sales refer to the total sales divided by total store months for all Company-owned and franchise restaurants open during the period. Net refranchisings refer to sales of Company-owned restaurants to franchisees, net of acquisitions of franchise restaurants by us.

BURGER KING Worldwide, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

To supplement its condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") basis, the Company reports the following non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted income tax expense, net debt, TTM adjusted EBITDA, net debt to TTM adjusted EBITDA ratio, Organic revenue growth and Organic Adjusted EBITDA growth.

EBITDA is defined as earnings (net income or loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and is used by management to measure operating performance of the business.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding the impact of share-based compensation, other operating (income) expenses, net, and all other specifically identified costs associated with non-recurring projects, including Transaction costs, global restructuring and related professional fees, global portfolio realignment project costs and Business Combination Agreement expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to measure operating performance of the business, excluding specifically identified items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations, and represents our measure of segment income.

Adjusted net income is used by management to evaluate and forecast earnings from ongoing operations excluding the impact of unusual items. This measure is used by management to evaluate and forecast earnings from ongoing operations, as further defined in the non-GAAP reconciliations. Adjusted Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by the number of diluted shares of the Company during the reporting period. Net debt to TTM adjusted EBITDA ratio is used by management to evaluate the Company's current and prospective financial position.

Organic revenue growth and Organic Adjusted EBITDA growth are non-GAAP measures that exclude both FX Impact and refranchisings.
