(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 Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" for further detail.

Organic revenue growth was 0.2%, excluding the impact of refranchising and FX headwinds. On a reported basis, total revenues decreased 25.8% to $451.1 million, compared to $607.7 million in the prior year period due to refranchising transactions in the U.S. and Canada, EMEA and APAC as well as unfavorable FX impact, partially offset by comparable sales growth and increased franchise and property revenues.

Organic Adjusted EBITDA growth was 6.3%, excluding the impact of refranchising and FX headwinds. On a reported basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased 0.6% to $162.0 million, compared to $161.0 million in the prior year period. Organic growth was driven by comparable sales and net restaurant growth, as well as G&A cost control, while growth was lower on a reported basis due to significant progress on our global refranchising initiative and FX headwinds primarily related to a weaker Euro. Year to date, Adjusted EBITDA grew 11%.

Adjusted net income and Adjusted Diluted EPS increased 12.7% and 10.6%, respectively, compared to the prior year, primarily due to an increase in Adjusted EBITDA, lower Depreciation and Amortization and lower interest expense. Year to date, Adjusted Net Income increased 26% and Adjusted Diluted EPS grew 25%.

Operational and Segment Highlights

System-wide comparable sales growth was positive across all segments except APAC. The U.S. and Canada delivered 1.6% comparable sales growth driven by the company's Summer BBQ and Chicken offerings. The company was pleased with the results of its limited time offerings and progress in attracting a more diverse customer base, but experienced a deceleration in comparable sales growth due to more challenging prior year comparisons and the loss of some value based traffic.

EMEA delivered comparable sales growth of 1.8%, driven by double digit comparable store sales growth in the company's expanding Russian market, continued success of "Kings of the Day" promotions in the United Kingdom, and "King of the Month" deals in Germany. Performance in Southern Europe was softer, with the company's key Spain market showing deceleration as economic conditions deteriorated during the quarter.

Latin America and the Caribbean ("LAC") delivered comparable sales growth of 2.7%, despite challenging prior year comparisons in each of the company's key markets. BKW has implemented new value initiatives in Brazil and Mexico in October to balance its menu options and complement premium offerings such as the Picanha burger in Brazil, and is seeing initial signs of success in driving incremental traffic.

APAC comparable sales declined by 2.2%, driven by weaker results in Australia and Korea as well as a particularly challenging prior year comparison in New Zealand, which hosted the rugby world cup in 2011.

As part of BKW's global refranchising strategy, the company refranchised 221 company-owned restaurants during the quarter, including 182 restaurants in the U.S. and 39 restaurants internationally. In connection with this quarter's refranchising transactions, BKW received cash proceeds of $31.6 million, development commitments both domestically and internationally, and domestic re-imaging commitments for 356 restaurants.

As part of BKW's international expansion strategy, the company announced new Master Franchise and Development agreements with our existing Malaysian franchisee, Rancak Selera, to support the acceleration of restaurant growth in Singapore and Malaysia. Rancak Selera is a portfolio company of Ekuiti Nasional Berhad (Ekuinas), a government-linked private equity fund management company established to create the next generation of leading Malaysian companies. In connection with the Master Franchise and Development agreements, BKW refranchised 38 restaurants in Singapore to Rancak Selera and received a development commitment that is expected to more than double the BURGER KING® brand's restaurant count in Singapore and Malaysia over the next 5 years.

Cash and Liquidity

At quarter end, total debt was $3.1 billion and net debt was $2.6 billion. During the quarter, BKW refinanced its existing Term Loan B facility with a new $1,735 million Term Loan A and Term Loan B facility. The new Term Loan A pays interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% and the new Term Loan B pays interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% with a 1.00% LIBOR floor. As a result of the refinancing transaction and based on three month LIBOR at the time of closing, BKW expects to realize annualized cash interest savings of approximately $25 million. Due to the improvement in net debt and in trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA, the net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio improved to 4.1x at September 30, 2012 from 4.6x at December 31, 2011.

Initiation of Quarterly Cash Dividend

The company also announced that its Board of Directors has approved the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend. On October 28, 2012, the Board declared the company's first quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share, which will be paid on November 29, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 9, 2012. Future dividends will be determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Investor Conference Call

The company will host an investor conference call and webcast at 9:00 a.m. EDT, Monday, October 29, 2012, to review financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The earnings call will be broadcast live via the company's investor relations website at http://investor.bk.com and will be available for replay. The dial-in number is 866.244.6521 for U.S. callers and 703.639.1157 for international callers.

Key Business Metrics

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

System 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. 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. Company-owned restaurants refranchised during a quarterly period are included with franchise restaurants for the purpose of calculating comparable sales growth for the quarter. 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 franchise 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.

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, field optimization project costs, 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 net refranchisings. Management believes that organic growth is an important metric for measuring the core operating performance of the business as it excludes the impact of our refranchising activities and foreign currency exchange rates.
