Basis of Presentation
The information furnished in this Current Report on Form 8-K provides supplemental information regarding OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC’s (the “Company’s”) results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto and the other information included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 (the “Form 10-Q”). The results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results may vary materially from these estimates and assumptions.
Certain of this information will be discussed in the Company’s conference call being held on Friday, May 13, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. EDT. This report includes the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures referenced during the conference call.
The Company’s operating concepts consist of Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, and Roy’s. The Company’s restaurant system operates in 49 states and 23 countries internationally as of March 31, 2011.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) Attributable to OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), Adjusted EBITDA (a measure the Company is required to report to its lenders, calculated by adjusting EBITDA to exclude certain stock-based compensation expenses, non–cash expenses and significant non–recurring items) and Adjusted EBITDAR (Adjusted EBITDA before rent expense) are supplemental measures of profitability that are not required by or presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. They are not measurements of the Company’s financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to Net income (loss) attributable to OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as measures of the Company’s liquidity. The Company believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR provide helpful information about the Company’s operations, cash flows and ability to meet its future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements.
