2012 and Long-Term Outlook
2012 outlook for Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing
Operations lowered to a range of $320 to $335 million
Reaffirming long-term average annual Adjusted EBITDA
growth rate in the high-single-digit to low-double-digit
range beginning in 2013
The Wendys Company |
2012 Revised Outlook
Sales momentum from October 2011 launch of Daves Hot N
Juicy Cheeseburger line did not carry over into Q1 2012
The W
Cheeseburger diluted marketing message and cannibalized positive
momentum from Daves Hot N
Juicy
Q1 marketing calendar did not drive sales
Intense competitive couponing and discounting
Wendys marketing messages were less effective in driving
transactions The Wendys Company |
2012 Revised Outlook
Unfavorable product mix resulted in negative impact on margin
The W
Cheeseburger was mispriced at $2.99
More beef on the W
(4.5 ounces) than on Daves Hot N
Juicy (4 ounces)
Caused trade-down from premium rather than trade-up from
value Raising the W
a la carte price from $2.99 to $3.19 prior to March promotion did not
achieve desired results
Consumers changed buying behavior
Managed check by buying fewer or different items to maintain or reduce
spending Resulted in less leverage on fixed costs
