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 and years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto and the other information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “Form 10-K”). 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 Thursday, March 31, 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.

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.
