Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation, and certain information that management may discuss in connection with this
presentation, contains certain statements that are not historical facts, including information concerning
possible or assumed future results of our operations. Those statements constitute “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (The “Reform
Act”). For all forward-looking statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking
statements contained in the Reform Act.
Many important factors could affect our future results and could cause those results to differ materially
from those expressed in or implied by our forward-looking statements. Such factors, all of which are
difficult or impossible to predict accurately, and many of which are beyond our control, include but are
not limited to those identified under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements” in our news release
issued on November 7, 2013 and in the “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and
Projections” and “Risk Factors” sections of our most recent Form 10-K / Form 10-Qs.
In addition, this presentation and certain information management may discuss in connection with this
presentation reference non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per share. Adjusted EBITDA
and adjusted earnings per share exclude certain expenses, net of certain benefits. Reconciliations of
non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in
the Appendix to this presentation, and are included in our news release issued on November 7, 2013 and
posted on www.aboutwendys.com.

Adjusted earnings per share amounts for the three months ended September 29, 2013 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, include the dilutive effect of stock
options and restricted shares, which were excluded from the reported number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted loss per share, as the impact would have been anti-dilutive. 
Included above is a reconciliation of the number of shares used to calculate adjusted earnings per share amounts.
