On the development front, our brands continued rapid expansion and achieved NRG of 891 in 2014, driven by 186 units at TH and 705 units at BK.

Net restaurants grew by 705 units over the trailing twelve month (“TTM”) period, led by our EMEA region with 352 net new restaurants during the period. Strong comparable sales growth and unit acceleration helped drive system-wide sales growth of 7.7% during the quarter.

Fourth quarter total reported revenues of $274.2 million increased 7.8% on an organic basis from the prior year, which excludes the impact of currency movements and the global refranchising initiative completed last year, primarily due to comparable sales growth of 3.0% and the addition of 705 net new restaurants in the TTM period. On an organic basis, revenue increased 6.4% year-over-year due to global comparable sales growth and net restaurant growth.

Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $189.1 million grew 8.8% from the prior year on an organic basis, while full year 2014 Adjusted EBITDA of $726.0 million grew 11.5% from the prior year on an organic basis, driven by double-digit organic Adjusted EBITDA growth in EMEA, LAC and APAC.

Comparable sales grew 7.4% in the fourth quarter, driven by acceleration in comparable sales growth in Canada and continued strong results in the U.S. Comparable sales growth in Canada was the result of the brand’s successful Dark Roast coffee launch and continued success in building the lunch day part through relevant innovation in sandwiches, soups, and wraps.

Net restaurants grew by 186 units over the TTM period, driving 4.1% growth in restaurant count compared to the prior year. Net restaurant growth was led by Canada with 141 net new restaurants, the U.S. with 25 net new restaurants, and the brand’s international region with 20 net new restaurants in the Gulf Cooperation Council.

RESTAURANT BRANDS INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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. 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. Net refranchisings refer to sales of company-owned restaurants to franchisees, net of acquisitions of franchise restaurants by us.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

Below, we define the non-GAAP financial measures, provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and discuss the reasons that we believe this information is useful to management and may be useful to investors. These measures may differ from similarly captioned measures of other companies in our industry.

Non-GAAP Measures:

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, Net Debt, BK Organic Revenue, BK Organic Adjusted EBITDA, and BK Adjusted EBITDA.

EBITDA is defined as earnings (net income or loss) before interest, loss on early extinguishment of debt, taxes, and 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 and non-cash incentive compensation expense, (income) loss from equity method investments, other operating (income) expenses, net, and all other specifically identified costs associated with non-recurring projects, including amortization of inventory step-up, TH transaction and restructuring costs, and global portfolio realignment project costs. 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.

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.

BK Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the sum of the Adjusted EBITDA of each of the four BK reporting segments and does not include the results of the TH reporting segment.

Footnotes to Reconciliation Tables

 

(1) Represents share-based compensation expense associated with employee stock options for the periods indicated; also includes the portion of annual non-cash incentive compensation that eligible employees elected to receive or are expected to elect to receive as common equity in lieu of their 2013 and 2014 cash bonus, respectively.

 

(2) In connection with the merger between Tim Hortons Inc. and Burger King Worldwide, Inc. (the “Transaction”), we acquired inventory that is recorded at fair value at the time of the Transaction. We recorded a charge equal to the difference between the fair value and historical carrying value as the underlying product sold. Based on company management judgment, these non-cash charges are not indicative of underlying business trends or the company’s operational performance.

 

(3) In connection with the Transaction, we incurred certain non-recurring financing, legal and advisory fees. We also incurred non-recurring costs to realign our global structure to better accommodate the needs of the combined business and support successful global growth. In addition, after consummation of the Transaction, we implemented a restructuring plan that resulted in work force reductions throughout our TH business and as a result incurred incremental costs. The restructuring is part of our on-going cost reduction efforts with the goal of driving efficiencies and creating fiscal resources that will be reinvested into our TH business. The non-recurring general and administrative expenses include financing, legal and advisory fees, severance benefits and other compensation costs, and training expenses. We expect to incur additional general and administrative expenses in 2015 associated with these initiatives.

 

(4) Represents costs associated with the project to realign Burger King Worldwide’s global restaurant portfolio by refranchising Company-owned restaurants and establishing strategic partners and joint ventures to accelerate development. These costs primarily include severance related costs and fees for professional services. The project was completed in 2013.

 

(5) On December 12, 2014, we completed the Transaction. TH Adjusted EBITDA reflects the operational results of the TH business beginning on December 12, 2014, the closing date of the Transaction.
