Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains certain forward-looking statements and information, which reflect management’s current beliefs and expectations regarding future events and operating performance and speak only as of the date hereof. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include the foregoing guidance with respect to RBI Total Revenues, RBI Net Income, RBI Adjusted EBITDA, RBI Capital Expenditures, full year Comparable Sales Growth and System Net Restaurant Growth for TIM HORTONS® and BURGER KING®, our Term Loan B Facility balance as at December 31, 2016, Total Debt as at December 31, 2016, and Cash and Cash Equivalents as at December 31, 2016. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities, such as our annual and quarterly reports and current reports on Form 8-K, and include the following: the risk of end of year adjustments that may arise in the course of our post-closing process and 2016 audit. Other than as required under U.S. federal securities laws or Canadian securities laws, we do not assume a duty to update these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events or circumstances, change in expectations or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains non-GAAP financial metrics, specifically RBI’s outlook for Adjusted EBITDA for 2016. Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA for 2016 to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and complexity with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures and including the measures and effects of income taxes, which are extremely difficult to project as a result of our tax status in a number of foreign jurisdictions, and the finalization of share-based compensation and non-cash incentive compensation expense as these are subject to finalization of our financial results for the year. While we do not expect the variability of the above charges to have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results, there can be no assurance that they will not materially affect our GAAP numbers.
