BURGER KING WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(Tabular amounts in millions of dollars unless noted otherwise)

Note 1. Organization

Burger King Worldwide, Inc. (“BKW”, the “Company” or “we”) is a Delaware corporation formed on April 2, 2012, and is the indirect parent of Burger King Capital Holdings, LLC (“BKCH”). BKCH is a Delaware limited liability company and the sole equity holder of Burger King Holdings, Inc. (“BKH”) and Burger King Capital Finance, Inc. (“BKCF”). BKH is a Delaware corporation formed on July 23, 2002 and the parent of Burger King Corporation (“BKC”), a Florida corporation that franchises and operates fast food hamburger restaurants, principally under the Burger King brand (the “Brand”). BKCH and BKCF have no assets or operations other than BKCH’s ownership of 100% of the capital stock of BKCF and BKH. BKW and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the “Company” and “we”.

We generate revenues from two sources: (i) retail sales at company-owned restaurants (also referred to as “Company restaurants”) and (ii) franchise and property revenues, consisting primarily of royalties based on a percentage of sales reported by franchise restaurants, initial and renewal franchise fees paid by franchisees and property income from restaurants that we lease or sublease to franchisees. As of September 30, 2012, we operated 595 Burger King restaurants and our franchisees operated 12,072 Burger King restaurants. As of December 31, 2011, we operated 1,295 Burger King restaurants and our franchisees operated 11,217 Burger King restaurants. See Note 14 for a description of our refranchising activity.

Merger with Justice

On April 3, 2012, Burger King Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (“Worldwide”), a Delaware corporation and the indirect parent of BKH, entered into a Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 3, 2012 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Justice Holdings Limited, a company limited by shares incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Justice”), the Company, Justice Holdco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub LLC”) and Worldwide. In accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, on June 20, 2012 (the “Merger Date”), Worldwide merged with and into Merger Sub LLC, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). As consideration for the Merger, the current stockholders of Worldwide, primarily 3G Special Situations Fund II, L.P. (“3G”), an investment fund affiliated with 3G Capital Partners Ltd. (“3G Capital”), received shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and $1,410,000,000 in cash. In addition, (i) Justice contributed substantially all of its assets (including all of its cash and cash equivalents) to the Company in exchange for shares of Common Stock and the assumption by the Company of Justice’s liabilities, (ii) Justice’s founders contributed their interests in Justice (other than Justice ordinary shares) to the Company in exchange for substantially similar interests in the Company (and the Company distributed to Justice for cancellation by Justice such contributed Justice interests), (iii) Justice distributed to holders of its ordinary shares all of the shares of Common Stock it holds on a 1-for-1 ratio, and (iv) following such distribution, the new interests in the Company received by Justice’s founders were exchanged for shares of Common Stock and cancelled by the Company. As a result of these transactions, 3G owns approximately 70% of the Common Stock of the Company and the Justice shareholders, including the founders, own approximately 30% of the Common Stock of the Company. Upon closing of the Merger, the Company changed its name to Burger King Worldwide, Inc. and listed its shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “BKW”.

The Merger was accounted for as a transaction between shareholders and did not constitute a change in control for purposes of our debt agreements or equity compensation plans. Additionally, because there was no change in control, the Merger did not require the application of the acquisition method of accounting. Shares outstanding in periods prior to the merger were retrospectively adjusted in periods prior to the Merger using an exchange ratio specified in the Business Combination Agreement. See Note 12.

New Accounting Pronouncements

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we adopted an accounting standard update that amends accounting guidance to allow us to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under these amendments, we are not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless we determine, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The adoption of this accounting standard update did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we adopted an accounting standard update that amends accounting guidance to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”). The amendments in this accounting standard clarify the intent of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. The amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The adoption of this accounting standard update did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements but may result in additional disclosures.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we adopted an accounting standard update that requires us to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This standard eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. The disclosures required by this accounting standard update are included in this Form 10-Q.

In July 2012, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that amends accounting guidance for the testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. This amendment states that an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is “more likely than not” that an indefinite-lived intangible asset, other than goodwill, is impaired. The results of the qualitative assessment will determine whether it is necessary to perform that quantitative impairment test. The amendments in this accounting standards update are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. Because the measurement of a potential impairment has not changed, the adoption of the amendments in this accounting standard update will not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, the Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on June 18, 2012.

The Financial Statements include our accounts and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. We account for investments in entities under the equity method when we own a significant, but less than controlling, interest in that entity. Certain equity method investments were determined to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which parties other than us were deemed to be the primary beneficiary. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the Financial Statements. The results for interim periods do not necessarily indicate the results that may expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying Financial Statements and Notes to the Financial Statements have been reclassified in order to be comparable with the current year classifications. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our Financial Statements and Notes to the Financial Statements. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Such estimates and assumptions may be affected by volatile credit, equity, foreign currency, energy markets and declines in consumer spending. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

The reduction in goodwill of $17.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is due to write-offs of $15.7 million related to refranchisings and foreign currency translation effect of $1.4 million.

2012 Credit Agreement

On September 28, 2012 (the “Closing Date”), BKC and BKH entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2012 Credit Agreement”) to refinance amounts borrowed under the 2011 Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below). The 2012 Credit Agreement provides for (i) tranche A term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $1,030.0 million (the “Tranche A Term Loans”), (ii) tranche B term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $705.0 million (the “Tranche B Term Loans”), in each case under the new senior secured term loan facility (the “2012 Term Loan Facility”), and (iii) a new senior secured revolving credit facility for up to $130.0 million of revolving extensions of credit outstanding at any time (including revolving loans, swingline loans and letters of credit) (the “2012 Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the 2012 Term Loan Facility, the “2012 Credit Facilities”).

On the Closing Date, the full amount of the Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans was drawn and no revolving loans were drawn. The proceeds of the Tranche A Term Loans and the Tranche B Term Loans were used to repay the term loans outstanding under the 2011 Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below). In addition, approximately $11.5 million of letters of credit were issued in order to backstop, replace or roll-over existing letters of credit under the 2011 Amended Credit Agreement.

The Tranche A Term Loans have a five-year maturity, and the Tranche B Term Loans have a seven-year maturity. The 2012 Revolving Credit Facility matures on October 19, 2015, which was the maturity date of the revolving credit facility under the 2011 Amended Credit Agreement. The principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans amortizes in quarterly installments of (i) $6.4 million from December 31, 2012 through September 30, 2013, (ii) $12.9 million from December 31, 2013 through September 30, 2014, (iii) $19.3 million from December 31, 2014 through September 30, 2015, (iv) $25.8 million from December 31, 2015 through September 30, 2016, and (v) $32.2 million from December 31, 2016 through June 30, 2017, with the balance payable at maturity. The principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans amortizes in quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans, with the balance payable at maturity.

As of September 30, 2012, we had $11.5 million in irrevocable standby letters of credit outstanding, which were issued under the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility primarily to certain insurance carriers to guarantee payments of deductibles for various insurance programs, such as health and commercial liability insurance. These letters of credit are secured by the collateral under the 2012 Credit Facilities. As of September 30, 2012, no amounts had been drawn on any of these irrevocable standby letters of credit and our remaining borrowing capacity under the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility was $118.5 million as of September 30, 2012.

Subject to certain exceptions, the 2012 Credit Facilities are subject to mandatory prepayments in amounts equal to (1) 100% of the net cash proceeds from any non-ordinary course sale or other disposition of assets (including as a result of casualty or condemnation); (2) 100% of the net cash proceeds from issuances or incurrences of debt by BKH, BKC or any of its restricted subsidiaries (other than indebtedness permitted by the 2012 Credit Facilities); and (3) 50% (with stepdowns to 25% and 0% based upon achievement of specified total leverage ratios) of annual excess cash flow of BKC and its restricted subsidiaries.

At BKC’s election, the interest rate per annum applicable to the loans is based on a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to either (i) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the prime rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (c) the Eurocurrency rate applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00% (“Alternate Base Rate Loans”), plus an applicable margin equal to 1.25% for any Tranche A Term Loan, 1.75% for any Tranche B Term Loan and 2.25% for loans under the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility, or (ii) a Eurocurrency rate determined by reference to LIBOR, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements (“Eurocurrency Loans”), plus an applicable margin equal to 2.25% for any Tranche A Term Loan, 2.75% for any Tranche B Term Loan and 3.25% for loans under the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility; provided that the foregoing margins applicable to the Tranche A Term Loans are subject to reduction after financial statements have been delivered for the first full fiscal quarter after the Closing Date based upon achievement of specified leverage ratios. Borrowings of Tranche B Term Loans will be subject to a floor of 1.00% in the case of Eurocurrency Loans and 2.00% in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans. We have elected our applicable rate per annum as Eurocurrency rate determined by reference to LIBOR. As of September 30, 2012, the interest rate was 2.625% on our outstanding Tranche A Term Loan and 3.75% on our outstanding Tranche B Term Loan.

The 2012 Credit Facilities contain a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, will limit or

Table of Contents

restrict the ability of BKC and its restricted subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness (including guarantee obligations); incur liens; engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions; sell assets (with exceptions for, among other things, sales of Company restaurants to existing or prospective franchisees and sales of real estate, subject to achievement of specified total leverage ratios in the case of real estate sales); pay dividends and make other payments in respect of capital stock; make investments, loans and advances; pay and modify the terms of certain indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; enter into certain speculative hedging arrangements; enter into negative pledge clauses and clauses restricting subsidiary distributions; and change its line of business. In addition, under the 2012 Credit Facilities, BKC will be required to maintain a specified minimum interest coverage ratio and may not exceed a specified maximum total leverage ratio.

The 2012 Credit Facilities contain customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty when made; violation of a covenant; cross-default to material indebtedness; bankruptcy events; certain ERISA events; material unsatisfied judgments; actual or asserted invalidity of any guarantee, security document or subordination provisions; non-perfection of security interest; changes in the passive holding company status of BKH; and a change of control. BKC’s ability to borrow under the 2012 Credit Facilities will be dependent on, among other things, its compliance with the above-described covenants and financial ratios. Failure to comply with these covenants, ratios or the other provisions of the 2012 Credit Facilities (subject to certain grace periods) could, absent a waiver or an amendment from the lenders under such agreement, restrict the availability of the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility and permit the acceleration of all outstanding borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility. There are no provisions in the 2012 Credit Agreement that could accelerate payment of debt as a result of a change in credit ratings.

At September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants of the 2012 Credit Agreement and there were no limitations on our ability to draw on the remaining availability under the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility.

In connection with the 2012 Credit Facilities, BKW entered into a Guarantee Agreement (the “Guarantee Agreement”), dated as of September 28, 2012 in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, pursuant to which BKW guaranteed amounts borrowed under the 2012 Credit Facilities. BKH, BKC and certain of BKC’s subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) entered into a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”), dated as of September 28, 2012 in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. Pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, BKH and the Subsidiary Guarantors guaranteed amounts borrowed under the 2012 Credit Facilities. Additionally, amounts borrowed under the 2012 Credit Facilities and any swap agreements and cash management arrangements provided by any lender party to the 2012 Credit Facilities or any of its affiliates are secured on a first priority basis by a perfected security interest in substantially all of BKH’s, BKC’s and each Subsidiary Guarantor’s tangible and intangible assets (subject to certain exceptions), including U.S. registered intellectual property, owned real property over $10 million in value and all of the capital stock of BKC and each of its direct and indirect restricted subsidiaries (limited, in the case of foreign subsidiaries, to 65%, of the capital stock of first tier foreign subsidiaries).

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the 2012 Credit Facilities, we are required to pay certain recurring fees with respect to the 2012 Credit Facilities, including (i) fees on the unused commitments of the lenders under the revolving facility, (ii) letters of credit fees on the aggregate face amounts of outstanding letters of credit plus a fronting fee to the issuing bank and (iii) administration fees. Amounts outstanding under the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to 3.25% and 3.50% on the amount drawn under each letter of credit that is issued and outstanding under the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility. The interest rate on the unused portion of the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility ranges from 0.50% to 0.75%, depending on our leverage ratio, and our current rate is 0.50%.

We incurred approximately $16.0 million of financing costs related to the 2012 Credit Agreement, including approximately $10.8 million recorded as deferred financing costs, which are classified as other assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. The remaining fees are included in loss on early extinguishment of debt.

2011 Amended Credit Agreement

In connection with the acquisition of BKH by 3G, BKC and BKH entered into a credit agreement dated as of October 19, 2010, as amended and restated as of February 15, 2011 (the “2011 Amended Credit Agreement”). The 2011 Amended Credit Agreement provided for (i) two tranches of term loans in aggregate principal amounts of $1,600.0 million and €200.0 million (the “Term Loans”), each under a term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility for up to $150.0 million of revolving extensions of credit outstanding at any time (including revolving loans, swingline loans and letters of credit) (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The maturity date for the Term Loan Facility was October 19, 2016 and the maturity date for the Revolving Credit Facility was October 19, 2015. As described above, borrowings under the 2011 Amended Credit Agreement were refinanced by the 2012 Credit Agreement.

We were allowed to prepay the Term Loans in whole or in part at any time. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we made $37.7 million in voluntary prepayments of our Term Loans.

Under the Credit Facilities, BKC was required to comply with customary financial ratios and the Credit Facilities also contained a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Company was in compliance with all 2011 Amended Credit Agreement financial ratios and covenants at the time of the refinancing in September 2012.

9 7/8% Senior Notes

At September 30, 2012 we had outstanding $794.5 million of senior notes due 2018 that bear interest at a rate of 9.875% per annum, which is payable semi-annually on October 15 and April 15 of each year (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes mature on October 15, 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we repurchased and retired Senior Notes with an aggregate face value of $3.0 million for a purchase price of $3.4 million, including accrued interest. During 2011, we repurchased and retired Senior Notes with an aggregate face value of $2.5 million for a purchase price of $2.7 million, including accrued interest.

The Senior Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of BKC that rank pari passu in right of payment with all our existing and future senior indebtedness. The Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to all our Secured Indebtedness (including the 2012 Credit Facilities) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities, including preferred stock, of non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The Senior Notes are guaranteed by BKH and all existing direct and indirect subsidiaries that borrow under or guarantee any indebtedness or indebtedness of another guarantor. Additionally, in August 2012 BKW entered into a Supplemental Indenture to guarantee BKC’s obligations under the Senior Notes. Under certain circumstances, subsidiary guarantors may be released from their guarantees without the consent of the holders of the Senior Notes.

At any time prior to October 15, 2013, we may redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Senior Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 109.875% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. The Senior Notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after October 15, 2014 at 104.938% of the principal amount, at any time on or after October 15, 2015 at 102.469% of the principal amount or at any time on or after October 15, 2016 at 100% of the principal amount.

The occurrence of a change in control of BKC and/or its parent entities will require us to offer to purchase all or a portion of the Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. Certain asset dispositions will also require us to use the proceeds from those asset dispositions to make an offer to purchase the Senior Notes at 100% of their principal amount, if such proceeds are not otherwise used within a specified period to repay indebtedness or to invest in capital assets related to our business or capital stock of a restricted subsidiary.

The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Senior Notes Indenture”), which contains certain covenants that we must meet during the term of the Senior Notes, including, but not limited to, limitations on restricted payments (as defined in the Senior Notes Indenture), incurrence of indebtedness, issuance of disqualified stock and preferred stock, asset sales, mergers and consolidations, transactions with affiliates, guarantees of indebtedness by subsidiaries and activities of BKH.

The Senior Notes Indenture also includes customary events of default including, but not limited to, nonpayment of principal, interest, premiums or other amounts due under the Senior Notes Indenture, violation of a covenant, cross-default to material indebtedness, bankruptcy and a change of control. Failure to comply with the covenants or other provision of the Senior Notes Indenture (subject to grace periods) could, absent a waiver or an amendment from the lenders under such Senior Notes Indenture, permit the acceleration of all outstanding borrowings under the Senior Notes Indenture.

Pursuant to the Senior Notes Indenture, BKC is restricted from paying any dividend or making any payment or distribution on account of its equity interests unless, among other things, (i) the dividend, payment or distribution (together with all other such dividends, payments or distributions made since the issue date of the Senior Notes) is less than an amount calculated based in part on the Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the Senior Notes Indenture) of BKC and its restricted subsidiaries since the issue date of the Senior Notes, or (ii) the dividend, payment or distribution fits within one or more exceptions, including if:

 

   

it is made with funds received from the issuance of equity interests of BKC or its direct or indirect parent companies and is used for the redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of equity interests of BKC or its direct or indirect parent companies;

 

   

it is less than 6% per annum of the net cash proceeds received by or contributed to BKC from a public offering of BKC’s common stock or the common stock of any of its direct or indirect parent companies;

 

   

it is used to fund certain operational expenditures of any of BKC’s direct or indirect parent companies; or

 

   

it, when combined with all other Restricted Payments (as defined in the Senior Notes Indenture) that rely upon this exception, is less than $75 million (the restrictions described in these four bullet points, collectively, the “Distribution Restrictions”).

At September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Senior Notes Indenture.

11.0% Discount Notes

On April 19, 2011, BKCH, our indirect subsidiary, and BKCF (the “Issuers”) entered into an indenture with Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee, pursuant to which the Issuers sold $685 million in the aggregate principal amount at maturity of 11.0% senior discount notes due 2019 (the “Discount Notes”). The Discount Notes generated $401.5 million in gross proceeds. Until April 15, 2016, no cash interest will accrue, but the Discount Notes will accrete at a rate of 11.0% per annum compounded semi-annually such that the accreted value on April 15, 2016 will be equal to the principal amount at maturity. Thereafter, cash interest on the Discount Notes will accrue at a rate equal to 11.0% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on October 15, 2016. The Discount Notes will mature on April 15, 2019. In August 2012, BKW entered into a Supplemental Indenture to guarantee the Issuers’ obligations under the Discount Notes. The Issuers have no operations or assets other than the interest in BKH held by BKCH. Accordingly, the cash required to service the Discount Notes is expected to be funded through distributions from BKC. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we repurchased Discount Notes with an aggregate face value of $92.9 million and an aggregate carrying value of $61.1 million, net of unamortized original issue discount, for a purchase price of $69.6 million.

At any time prior to April 15, 2014, we may redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Discount Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 111.0% of the accreted value of the Discount Notes, plus (without duplication) any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. The Discount Notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after April 15, 2015 at 105.5% of the principal amount, at any time on or after April 15, 2016 at 102.75% of the principal amount or at any time on or after April 15, 2017 at 100% of the principal amount.

The occurrence of a change in control will require us to offer to purchase all or a portion of the Discount Notes at a price equal to 101% of the accreted value, plus (without duplication) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. Certain asset dispositions will also require us to use the proceeds from those asset dispositions to make an offer to purchase the Discount Notes at 100% of their accreted value, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, if such proceeds are not otherwise used within a specified period to repay indebtedness or to invest in capital assets related to our business or capital stock of a restricted subsidiary.

The Discount Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Discount Notes Indenture”), which contains certain covenants that we must meet during the term of the Discount Notes, as well as customary events of default, which are similar to those described above for the Credit Facilities and Senior Notes.

Pursuant to the Discount Notes Indenture, BKCH is restricted from paying any dividend or making any payment or distribution on account of its equity interests unless, among other things, (i) the dividend, payment or distribution (together with all other such dividends, payments or distributions made since October 19, 2010) is less than an amount calculated based in part on the Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the Discount Notes Indenture) of BKCH and its restricted subsidiaries since October 1, 2010, or (ii) the dividend, payment or distribution fits within one or more exceptions, including the Distribution Restrictions.

At September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Discount Notes Indenture.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

We recorded a $23.0 million loss on early extinguishment of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2012 in connection with the refinancing of term loans outstanding under the 2011 Amended Credit Agreement with the 2012 Credit Agreement, as described above. We recorded a $34.2 million loss on early extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 in connection with the refinancing, as described above, as well as prepayments of term loans prior to the refinancing and repurchases of our Discount Notes and Senior Notes. We recorded a $19.6 million loss on early extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 in connection with the amendment of our 2011 Amended Credit Facility in February 2011.

Other

In connection with entering into the 2012 Credit Agreement as described above, we settled interest rate caps denominated in Euros with a notional amount of €183.8 million, including the payment of $6.4 million in deferred premiums.

We have lines of credit with foreign banks, which can also be used to provide guarantees, in the amount of $2.3 million as of September 30, 2012 and $3.2 million as of December 31, 2011.

Note 8. Retirement Plan and Other Postretirement Benefits

Pension Benefits

We sponsor noncontributory defined benefit pension plans for our salaried employees in the United States (the “U.S. Pension Plans”) and certain employees in the United Kingdom, Germany and Switzerland (the “International Pension Plans”). Effective December 31, 2005, all benefits accrued under the U.S. Pension Plans were frozen at the benefit level attained as of that date.

Postretirement Medical Benefits

Our postretirement medical plan (the “U.S. Retiree Medical Plan”) provides medical, dental and life insurance benefits to U.S. salaried retirees hired prior to June 30, 2001 and who were age 40 or older as of June 30, 2001, and their eligible dependents. The amount of retirement health care coverage an employee will receive depends upon the length of credited service. Effective September 30, 2011, the credited service for this plan was frozen for all participants. Beginning January 1, 2012, the annual employer-provided subsidy is $160 (pre-age 65) and $80 (post-age 65) per year of credited service for anyone not already receiving benefits prior to this date. In 2011, we recognized a reduction to the retiree medical plan liability as a result of a negative plan amendment of $7.1 million, with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI).

During the nine months ended September, 2012, we eliminated the option to delay enrollment for the U.S. Retiree Medical Plan. U.S. Retiree Medical Plan participants were required to make a one-time election to participate in the Plan by February 29, 2012. This change was accounted for as a negative plan amendment and resulted in reduction to the Retiree Medical Plan liability of $11.1 million. This reduction is being amortized as a reduction to net periodic benefit costs over 6 years, the average remaining years until expected retirement. This negative plan amendment will result in net periodic benefit cost reductions of approximately $1.5 million in 2012 and $1.8 million every year thereafter during the amortization period. The plan was re-measured using a discount rate of 4.4% at the time of the negative plan amendment.

Our derivatives are valued using a discounted cash flow analysis that incorporates observable market parameters, such as interest rate yield curves and currency rates, classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. Derivative valuations incorporate credit risk adjustments that are necessary to reflect the probability of default by us or the counterparty.

The fair value measurements of the ERP liabilities, which are based on Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy, and changes in fair value measurements, are derived principally from observable market data.

At September 30, 2012, the fair value of our variable rate term debt and bonds was estimated at $3.1 billion, compared to a carrying amount of $2.9 billion, net of original issue discount. At December 31, 2011, the fair value of our variable rate term debt and bonds were estimated at $2.9 billion, compared to a carrying amount of $3.0 billion, net of original issue discount. Fair value of variable rate term debt was estimated using inputs based on bid and offer prices and are Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. Fair value of the Senior Notes was estimated using quoted market prices and are Level 1 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

Certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to periodic impairment tests. These items primarily include long-lived assets, the Brand and other intangible assets.

The fair value measurements for our long-lived assets held for sale are typically based on binding purchase prices from acquirers of Company restaurants that we plan to refranchise. In certain cases, our corporate development team may develop fair value estimates for assets held for sale for which there is no binding purchase price. These fair value measurements, which are based on Level 3 inputs, and changes in fair value measurements are reviewed and assessed each quarter for assets classified as held for sale by our corporate development team. Our corporate development team utilizes its knowledge of the FFHR industry and historical experience in refranchising transactions in establishing the valuation process, which is generally based on a market approach. Under the market approach, our corporate development team uses transaction prices for refranchisings that were recently completed, adjusting where necessary for factors specific to the assets held for sale.

We assess the fair value less costs to sell of assets held for sale each reporting period they remain classified as held for sale. We report subsequent changes in the fair value less costs to sell of assets held for sale as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets held for sale. However, the adjusted carrying amount cannot exceed the carrying amount of the long-lived asset at the time it was initially classified as held for sale. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we did not record any impairment charges associated with assets held for sale. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded impairment losses of $13.2 million associated with long-lived assets for Company restaurants we classified as held for sale in the U.S. We did not record any impairment charges associated with assets held for sale during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Note 10. Derivative Instruments

We enter into derivative instruments for risk management purposes, including derivatives designated as hedging instruments, derivatives designated as net investment hedges and those utilized as economic hedges. We use derivatives to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates. See Note 9 for fair value measurements of our derivative instruments.

Interest Rate Caps

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had U.S. Dollar denominated interest rate cap agreements (notional amount of $1.4 billion at September 30, 2012 and $1.5 billion at December 31, 2011), (the “Cap Agreements”) to effectively cap the LIBOR applicable to our variable rate borrowings at a weighted-average rate of 1.74% for U.S. Dollar denominated borrowings. The six year interest rate cap agreements are a series of individual caplets that reset and settle quarterly consistent with the payment dates of our LIBOR-based term debt. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we terminated our Euro denominated interest rate cap agreements (notional amount of €193.6 million at December 31, 2011) which effectively capped the annual interest expense applicable to our borrowings under the 2011 Amended Credit Agreement for Euro denominated borrowings. In connection with the termination of the Euro denominated interest rate cap agreements, we recorded a charge of $8.4 million within other operating (income) expense, net related to realized losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”).

Under the terms of the Cap Agreements, if LIBOR resets above a strike price, we will receive the net difference between the rate and the strike price. As disclosed in Note 6, we have elected our applicable rate per annum as Eurocurrency. In addition, on the quarterly settlement dates, we will remit the deferred premium payment (plus interest) to the counterparty, whether LIBOR resets above or below the strike price.

The Cap Agreements are designated as cash flow hedges and to the extent they are effective in offsetting the variability of the variable rate interest payments, changes in the derivatives’ fair values are not included in current earnings but are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. At each cap maturity date, the portion of fair value attributable to the matured cap will be reclassified from AOCI into earnings as a component of interest expense.

From time to time as we prepay portions of the 2012 Term Loan Facility, we may modify our interest rate cap to reduce the notional amount. The terms of the caps will not otherwise be revised by these modifications. On the modification date, the portion of the fair value attributable to the modified cap will be reclassified from AOCI into earnings as a component of interest expense.

Cross-currency Rate Swaps

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we entered into cross-currency rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $230.0 million to hedge a portion of the net investment in a Swiss subsidiary, Burger King Europe GmbH. These swaps are contracts to exchange quarterly fixed-rate payments we make in Euros for quarterly fixed-rate payments we receive in U.S. Dollars. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are immediately recognized in AOCI to offset the change in the carrying amount of the net investment being hedged. These instruments mature on October 19, 2016. In October 2012, we entered into additional cross-currency rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $200.0 million to increase the hedge of our net investment in Burger King Europe GmbH. These instruments mature on September 28, 2017.

Changes in marked-to-market values of these hedges reflected in AOCI were an after-tax loss of $0.1 million at September 30, 2012.

Forward-Starting Interest Rate Swaps

In August 2012, we entered into three forward-starting interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $2.3 billion to hedge the variability of forecasted interest payments attributable to changes in LIBOR. The forward-starting interest rate swaps effectively fix LIBOR on $1.0 billion of floating-rate debt beginning 2015 and an additional $1.3 billion of floating-rate debt starting 2016. The hedges have a seven year maturity. We account for these hedges as cash flow hedges, and as such, the effective portion of unrealized changes in market value has been recorded in AOCI and is reclassified to income during the period in which the hedge transaction affects earnings. Gain and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings.

Interest Rate Swaps

In connection with 3G’s acquisition of BKH, interest rate swaps with a notional value of $500 million were terminated. The remaining interest rate swaps that were not terminated by counterparties had a notional value of $75 million and expired on September 30, 2011.

Credit Risk

By entering into derivative instrument contracts, we are exposed to counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is in an asset position, the counterparty has a liability to us, which creates credit risk for us. We attempt to minimize this risk by selecting counterparties with investment grade credit ratings and regularly monitoring our market position with each counterparty.

Credit-Risk Related Contingent Features

Our derivative instruments do not contain any credit-risk related contingent features.

The conversion rate for the stock options was 3.355508 (i.e. a stock option to acquire a millishare (1/1000 of a full share) of Worldwide at an exercise price of $11.89 per millishare or $13.34 per millishare of Worldwide common stock was converted to a stock option to acquire 3.355508 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.54 or $3.97 per share of Common Stock, respectively). The conversion ratio for the RSUs was 3.479129 (an RSU to receive one millishare of Worldwide common stock was converted to an RSU to receive 3.479129 shares of Common Stock).

There were no stock option or RSU grants during the three months ended September 30, 2012 under the 2011 Omnibus Plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, options to purchase up to 7,704,693 shares of Common Stock were granted to key employees and one non-employee. With respect to 3,604,731 shares underlying such options granted under the 2011 Omnibus Plan, the as-converted exercise price per share is $3.54, and with respect to 4,099,962 shares underlying such options, the as-converted exercise price per share is $3.97 per share. The options generally cliff vest five years from the original grant date, provided the employee is continuously employed by BKC or one of its subsidiaries. The as-converted weighted-average grant date fair value of the options granted was $3.58 per share during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and was based on the following weighted-average input assumptions: as converted exercise price of $3.54 to $3.97 per share; risk-free interest rate of 0.87%; expected term of 5.5 years; expected volatility of 35.0% and expected dividend yield of zero.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a total of 158,340 RSUs were granted to non-employee members of our Board of Directors in lieu of a cash retainer under the 2011 Omnibus Plan. The RSU grants were fully vested on the grant date. All RSUs will settle and shares of Common Stock will be issued upon termination of service by the board member.

We recorded $1.7 million of share-based compensation expense in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. We recorded $9.3 million of share-based compensation expense in selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increases in share-based compensation and grant-date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were due to the increase in fair value of Worldwide equity implied by the Business Combination Agreement. Share-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 also reflects a $0.6 million benefit resulting from a revision to increase our estimated forfeiture rate of share-based compensation awards.

Stock option exercises during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were not significant. No stock options were exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

On June 20, 2012, our Board of Directors adopted the Burger King Worldwide, Inc. 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2012 Omnibus Plan”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, there were two stock option grants, issued at fair value, under the 2012 Omnibus Plan to non-employee members of our Board of Directors.

Note 12. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is based on net income and weighted average of common shares outstanding. For periods prior to the Merger, share count was determined by retrospectively adjusting all Worldwide shares by the exchange ratio of 3.479129. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of common shares, relating to outstanding stock options and RSUs calculated using the treasury stock method. For periods prior to the Merger, outstanding stock options and RSUs were determined by converting all Worldwide stock options to Company stock options using the exchange ratio of 3.355508 and all Worldwide RSUs to Company RSUs using the exchange ratio of 3.479129.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, net (gains) losses on disposal of assets, restaurant closures and refranchisings consisted of $12.4 million in net losses associated with refranchisings and $1.7 million of net losses associated with asset disposals and restaurant closures.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net (gains) losses on disposal of assets, restaurant closures and refranchisings consisted of $4.8 million in net gains associated with refranchisings, $13.2 million in impairment losses associated with long-lived assets for Company restaurants and $6.8 million of net losses associated with asset disposals and restaurant closures.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, non-cash investing activities included $98.6 million in equity method investments associated with refranchisings, as further discussed below. Equity method investments are classified as other assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our interest in the income (loss) from our equity method investments was not significant to our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2012 or 2011.

Gains and losses on closures and dispositions represent sales of Company properties and other costs related to restaurant closures and refranchisings, and are classified as other operating (income) expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses recognized in the current period may reflect closures and refranchisings that occurred in previous periods.

Summary of Refranchising Activity

On May 30, 2012, we completed the refranchising of 278 Company restaurants to Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. (“Carrols”), including the assignment to Carrols of our right of first refusal on franchise sales of Burger King® restaurants in 20 states. Total consideration included a 28.9% equity interest in Carrols and total cash payments of approximately $16.2 million, of which approximately $4.0 million, associated with the right of first refusal, is payable over five years. The gain on this refranchising, including initial franchise fees, was $18.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and is included in net (gains) losses on disposal of assets, restaurant closures and refranchisings. In addition, we realized impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 on certain assets leased to Carrols of $23.1 million, which is included in net (gains) losses on disposal of assets, restaurant closures and refranchisings.

In May 2012, we completed the acquisition of the equity interests we did not previously hold in two former equity method investments in China for total consideration of $17.3 million. In June 2012, we contributed the equity interests in our 44 Company restaurants in China, including the 22 restaurants we acquired in May 2012, to an entity established to develop the China market (the “China Venture”). Total consideration received by the Company in exchange for these contributions included a significant minority equity interest in the China Venture and a cash payment of approximately $2.2 million. The aggregate gain related to the acquisition of the majority interest in the former equity method investments in China and the contribution of the 44 restaurants to the China Venture was $26.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and is included in net (gains) losses on disposal of assets, restaurant closures and refranchisings.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we also completed the refranchising of 392 additional Company restaurants to franchisees in the United States and Canada, EMEA and APAC segments, including 221 Company restaurants refranchised during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Assets Held For Sale

We classify assets as held for sale when we commit to a plan to dispose of the assets by refranchising specific restaurants in their current condition at a price that is reasonable, and we believe completing the plan of sale within one year is probable without significant changes. Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell and we cease depreciation on assets at the time they are classified as held for sale. We classify impairment losses associated with restaurants held for sale as losses on refranchisings.

 

23


Table of Contents

If we subsequently decide to retain a restaurant or group of restaurants previously classified as held for sale, the assets would be reclassified from assets held for sale at the lower of (a) their then-current fair value or (b) the carrying value at the date the assets were classified as held for sale, less the depreciation that would have been recorded since that date.

At September 30, 2012, assets held for sale totaled $8.9 million and consisted primarily of machinery and equipment to be sold in connection with refranchisings. We did not have assets classified as held for sale at December 31, 2011. Assets held for sale are included with Prepaids and Other Current Assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies

In some of the matters described below, loss contingencies are not both probable and estimable in the view of management and, accordingly, reserves have not been established for those matters. However, information is provided below or included in Note 19, “Commitments and Contingencies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on June 18, 2012 regarding the nature of the contingency and, where specified, the amount of the claim associated with the loss contingency.

Litigation

On September 10, 2008, a class action lawsuit was filed against us in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleged that all 96 Burger King restaurants in California leased by us and operated by franchisees violate accessibility requirements under federal and state law. In September 2009, the court issued a decision on the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. In its decision, the court limited the class action to the 10 restaurants visited by the named plaintiffs, with a separate class of plaintiffs for each of the 10 restaurants and 10 separate trials. In March 2010, we agreed to settle the lawsuit with respect to the 10 restaurants and, in July 2010, the court gave final approval to the settlement. In February 2011, a class action lawsuit was filed with respect to the other 86 restaurants. In January 2012, we agreed to settle the lawsuit and entered into a settlement agreement on June 1, 2012 which provides that $19.0 million will be paid for the benefit of the class members, with $5.0 million funded by our franchisees, $3.9 million by BKC, and the balance by BKC’s insurance carrier. At a hearing held on October 25, 2012, the court indicated it would give final approval to the settlement agreement.

From time to time, we are involved in other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business relating to matters including, but not limited to, disputes with franchisees, suppliers, employees and customers, as well as disputes over our intellectual property.

Note 17. Supplemental Financial Information

On October 19, 2010, BKC issued the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by BKH and the U.S. subsidiaries of BKC (the “Guarantors”). On April 19, 2011, the Issuers issued the Discount Notes. In August 2012, BKW entered into a Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Senior Notes and a Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Discount Notes (the “Supplemental Indentures”) to guarantee BKC’s obligations under the Senior Notes and the Issuers’ obligations under the Discount Notes. The Supplemental Indentures allow the financial reporting obligation under the Indentures to be satisfied through the reporting of BKW’s consolidated financial information. The 2012 Credit Agreement allows the financial reporting obligation of BKC to be satisfied through the reporting of BKW’s consolidated financial information, provided that the financial information of BKC and its subsidiaries is provided on a standalone basis. The non-U.S. subsidiaries are identified below as Non-Guarantors.

The following represents the condensed consolidating financial information for BKC (Issuer), the Guarantors and the non-U.S. subsidiaries of BKC (the “Non-Guarantors”), together with eliminations, as of and for the periods indicated. The condensed consolidating financial information of BKW is combined with the financial information of BKCF and presented in a single column under the heading “BKW.” Selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidating statements of operations only pertain to professional fees and other transaction costs incurred by BKW associated with the Business Combination Agreement. The consolidating financial information may not necessarily be indicative of the financial position, results of operations or cash flows had BKC, Guarantors and Non-Guarantors operated as independent entities.

Note 18. Subsequent Events

Cross-currency Rate Swaps

In October 2012, we entered into additional cross-currency rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $200.0 million to increase the hedge in our net investment in a Swiss subsidiary, Burger King Europe GmbH. These swaps are a contract to exchange quarterly floating-rate payments we make in Euros for quarterly floating-rate payments we receive in U.S. Dollars. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are immediately recognized in AOCI to offset the change in the carrying amount of the net investment being hedged. These instruments mature on September 28, 2017.

Initiation of Quarterly Cash Dividend

On October 28, 2012, our Board of Directors approved the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders. A quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share will be paid on November 29, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 9, 2012. Future dividends will be determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements.” Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Burger King Worldwide, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including BKC.

Operating results for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other quarter or for the fiscal year and our key business measures, as discussed below, may decrease for any future period. Unless otherwise stated, comparable sales growth, average restaurant sales and sales growth are presented on a system-wide basis, which means they include sales at both Company restaurants and franchise restaurants. 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. System-wide results are driven primarily by our franchise restaurants, as approximately 95% of our system-wide restaurants are franchised.

Overview

We operate in the fast food hamburger restaurant, or FFHR, category of the quick service restaurant, or QSR, segment of the restaurant industry. We are the second largest FFHR chain in the world as measured by number of restaurants and system-wide sales. Our system of restaurants includes restaurants owned by us, as well as our franchisees. Our business is comprised of four operating segments: (1) the U.S. and Canada; (2) Europe, the Middle East and Africa, or EMEA; (3) Latin America and the Caribbean, or LAC; and (4) Asia Pacific, or APAC.

As of September 30, 2012, there were 12,667 Burger King restaurants system-wide. We operate 361 restaurants in the U.S. and Canada and 234 restaurants in EMEA, LAC and APAC, and our franchisees operate 7,092 restaurants in the U.S. and Canada and 4,980 restaurants in EMEA, LAC and APAC. Approximately 95% of our current restaurants are franchised and we have a higher percentage of franchise restaurants to Company restaurants than our major competitors in the FFHR category. We believe that our high percentage of franchise restaurants provides us with a strategic advantage because the capital required to grow and maintain our system is funded primarily by franchisees. In addition, our franchisees fund the majority of the advertising that supports the Brand by making advertising contributions. Our franchise dominated business model does, however, present a number of drawbacks and risks, such as our limited control over franchisees and limited ability to facilitate changes in restaurant ownership. In addition, our operating results are closely tied to the success of our franchisees, and we are dependent on franchisees to open new restaurants as part of our growth strategy.

Sales at Company restaurants comprised 63% of our revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, with our remaining revenue derived from our franchise system, consisting primarily of royalties and franchise fees as well as property income from properties we lease or sublease to our franchisees. We expect the current mix of Company and franchise revenue to continue to shift towards franchise revenue as we further implement our global portfolio realignment project described below.

Recent Events and Factors Affecting Comparability

We believe there are significant opportunities for our Company and the entire Burger King system by accelerating international development, driving sales and traffic in the U.S. and Canada, driving corporate level general and administrative expense efficiencies and aggressively pursuing refranchising opportunities. Since the 2010 Transactions (as defined below) we have implemented a number of projects to pursue these opportunities, which have resulted in gains and losses and other costs and expenses, as further described below.

The 2010 Transactions

During the three months ended September 30, 2011 we recorded transaction costs of $1.0 million and during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we recorded transaction costs of $2.1 million associated with the acquisition of BKH by 3G and related financing transactions (collectively referred to as the “2010 Transactions”), as more fully discussed in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on June 18, 2012.

Global Restructuring and Related Professional Fees

In December 2010, we began the implementation of a global restructuring plan that resulted in work force reductions throughout our organization. In June 2011, we implemented a Voluntary Resignation Severance Program (“VRS Program”) offered for a limited time to eligible employees based at our Miami headquarters. In addition, other involuntary work force reductions were also implemented. As a result of the global restructuring plan, the VRS Program and the additional workforce reductions, we incurred $10.5 million of severance benefits and other severance related costs during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and $32.7 million of severance benefits and other severance related costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This restructuring plan was completed in 2011.

Field Optimization Project

During 2011, we initiated a project to significantly expand and enhance our U.S. field organization to better support our franchisees in an effort to drive sales, increase profits and improve restaurant operations (the “field optimization project”). As a result of the field optimization project, we incurred $5.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and $7.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of severance related costs, compensation costs for overlap staffing, travel expenses, consulting fees and training costs. This project was completed in 2011.

Global Portfolio Realignment Project

During 2011, we initiated a project to realign our global restaurant portfolio by refranchising our Company restaurants and establishing strategic partners to accelerate development through joint venture structures and master development agreements (the “global portfolio realignment project”). We believe our global portfolio realignment project will (i) reduce capital expenditures, corporate overhead and our exposure to commodity cost pressures, (ii) increase royalty revenues, and (iii) allow management to focus on strategic issues such as Brand development, international expansion and marketing.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we completed a total of 690 net refranchisings, including 572 in the U.S. and Canada, 58 in EMEA and 60 in APAC, resulting in sales proceeds of $31.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and $48.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net of cash paid for acquisitions. We also entered into master franchise and development agreements in Brazil, China, Russia, Singapore and Malaysia since the beginning of 2011. Additionally, in connection with the global portfolio realignment project, franchisees that acquired Company restaurants made commitments to re-image the acquired restaurants and a significant portion of their existing restaurants to conform to our current 20/20 image.

Transaction highlights related to our global portfolio realignment project during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, include the following:

We completed the refranchising of 278 Company restaurants in the U.S. to Carrols Restaurant Group (“Carrols”) in May 2012 in exchange for consideration that included a 28.9% equity interest in Carrols. In connection with this transaction, Carrols has agreed to re-image 455 of its Burger King restaurants to our 20/20 restaurant image over the next three and a half years.

In June 2012, we contributed the equity interests in our 44 Company restaurants in China, including 22 restaurants that we acquired in May 2012, to a joint venture entity established to develop the China market, in exchange for a significant minority equity interest in the joint venture.

We also completed the refranchising of 392 additional Company restaurants in the U.S. and Canada, EMEA and APAC segments during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, including 221 completed during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Gains and losses associated with refranchising activity are classified as other operating (income) expenses, net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations, as further discussed in Note 14 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. Additionally, we also incurred general and administrative expenses consisting primarily of severance and professional fees in connection with our global portfolio realignment project.

Table of Contents

We continue to aggressively pursue refranchising and regional development opportunities as we implement our global portfolio realignment project. We expect to continue to incur expenses which we believe will decline as we pursue our refranchising strategy. Further, we may record net losses and impairment charges associated with future refranchising activity.

Merger with Justice

Business Combination Agreement Expenses

As discussed in Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, on April 3, 2012, Burger King Worldwide Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the indirect parent company of BKH (“Worldwide”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 3, 2012, by and among Justice Holdings Limited, the Company, Justice Holdco LLC and Worldwide. This transaction closed on June 20, 2012, the Company changed its name to Burger King Worldwide, Inc. and our stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “BKW”.

As a result of the increase in our equity value implied by the Business Combination Agreement, we recorded $5.9 million of one-time share-based compensation expense related to share-based awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Additionally, we expect our annual share-based compensation expense to increase compared to 2011. We also incurred $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and $25.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of professional fees and other transaction costs associated with the Business Combination Agreement.

The table below summarizes the factors affecting comparability of selling, general and administrative expenses due to the 2010 Transactions, global restructuring and related professional fees, field optimization project costs, global portfolio realignment project costs and business combination agreement expenses.

(1) Sales growth refers to the change in sales at all Company and franchise restaurants in one period from the same period in the prior year.
(2) 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.
(3) Comparable sales growth refers to the change in restaurant sales in one period from the same prior year period for restaurants that have been opened for thirteen months or longer. Company restaurants refranchised during a period will be included in the calculation of comparable sales growth for franchise restaurants during the period.
(4) Average restaurant sales refer to the total sales averaged over total store months for all Company and franchise restaurants open during that period.
(5) Net refranchisings refer to sales of Company restaurants to franchisees, net of acquisitions of franchise restaurants by us.

Comparable sales and sales growth are measured on a constant currency basis, which means the results exclude the effect of foreign currency translation and are calculated by translating current year results at prior year exchange rates. We analyze certain key financial measures on a constant currency basis as this helps identify underlying business trends, without distortion from the effects of currency movements (“FX impact”).

Company restaurants

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, Company restaurant revenues decreased primarily due to the net refranchising of 691 Company restaurants during the trailing twelve-month period and unfavorable FX impact, partially offset by Company comparable sales growth in U.S. and Canada and EMEA.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Company restaurant revenues decreased primarily due to the net refranchising of 691 Company restaurants during the trailing twelve-month period and unfavorable FX impact, partially offset by Company comparable sales growth across all segments.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, CRM% decreased due to decreases in CRM% in the U.S. and Canada and LAC, partially offset by increases in CRM% in EMEA and APAC. The effects of promotional activity, increased food, paper and product costs, higher wage rates in Germany and Mexico and increased repair and maintenance expenses in the U.S. and Canada were partially offset by favorable adjustments to self insurance reserves in the U.S. and Canada and the leveraging effect of Company comparable sales growth on fixed occupancy and other operating costs.

Table of Contents

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, CRM % remained unchanged from the comparable period in the prior year. The leveraging effect of Company comparable sales growth on our fixed occupancy and other operating costs and favorable adjustments to self insurance reserves in the U.S. and Canada were offset by increased food, paper and product costs.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, franchise and property revenues increased primarily due to franchise comparable sales growth, the net refranchising of 691 Company restaurants and franchise NRG of 281 restaurants during the trailing twelve-month period, which resulted in increased royalties and rents. Additionally, initial franchise fees increased as a result of the increase in franchise NRG during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and renewal and other related franchise fees increased primarily due to the early renewal of franchise agreements. These factors were partially offset by unfavorable FX impact.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, franchise and property expenses increased primarily due to new leases and subleases associated with additional restaurants leased or subleased to franchisees as a result of the refranchisings, partially offset by decrease in bad debt expense and favorable FX impact.

NM – Not Meaningful

Selling expenses consist primarily of Company restaurant advertising fund contributions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, selling expenses decreased primarily as a result of the refranchisings, favorable FX impact and a temporary reduction in advertising fund contributions associated with incentives to accelerate implementation of restaurant equipment initiatives.

Management general and administrative expenses (“Management G&A”) are comprised primarily of salary and employee related costs for our non-restaurant employees, professional fees and general overhead for our corporate offices, including rent, maintenance and utilities, travel and meeting expenses, IT and technology costs and other general operating expenses. General and administrative expenses also include certain non-cash expenses, including share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization as well as separately managed expenses associated with unusual or non-recurring events, such as costs associated with our global portfolio realignment project and business combination agreement expenses. The decrease in Management G&A in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was driven primarily by a decrease in salary and fringe benefits, professional services and favorable FX impact.

The decrease in our total general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was driven primarily by a decrease in Management G&A and the completion of our global restructuring and field optimization projects in 2011 partially offset by business combination agreement expenses and increases in global portfolio realignment project costs and share-based compensation.

Loss on early extinguishment of debt

We recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $23.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 in connection with the refinancing of term loans outstanding under the 2011 Amended Credit Agreement with the 2012 Credit Agreement.

We recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $34.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 in connection with the refinancing of term loans outstanding under the 2011 Amended Credit Agreement, as well as prepayments of our Term Loan and repurchases of our Discount Notes and Senior Notes. We recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $19.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 in connection with the 2011 Amended Credit Agreement as discussed in Note 6 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Income tax expense

Our effective tax rate was 51.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as a result of the current mix of income from multiple tax jurisdictions and the impact of non-deductible losses and costs on refranchisings primarily in foreign jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate was 25.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily as a result of the exclusion of the tax benefit of foreign ordinary losses not expected to be realized, the current mix of income from multiple tax jurisdictions and the resolution of state tax audits.

Our effective tax rate was 29.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as a result of the current mix of income from multiple tax jurisdictions and the impact of non-deductible losses and costs on refranchisings primarily in foreign jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate was 29.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily as a result of the exclusion of the tax benefit of foreign ordinary losses not expected to be realized, the current mix of income from multiple tax jurisdictions and the resolution of state tax audits.

Profitability Measures and Non-GAAP Reconciliations

The tables below contain information regarding EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures. EBITDA is defined as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, loss on early extinguishment of debt and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding the impact of share-based compensation, other operating (income) expenses, net, and all other specifically identified costs associated with non-recurring projects, including costs related to the 2010 Transactions, global restructuring and related professional fees, field optimization project costs, global portfolio realignment project costs and business combination agreement expenses. 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.

NM – Not Meaningful

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA in the three months ended September 30, 2012 reflects increases in segment income in our LAC and APAC operating segments and reductions in Unallocated Management G&A partially offset by decreases in segment income in our U.S. and Canada and EMEA segments. The increase in consolidated adjusted EBITDA in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily driven by increases in segment income in all of our operating segments and reductions in Unallocated Management G&A. Unallocated Management G&A represents corporate support costs in areas such as facilities, finance, human resources, information technology, legal, marketing and supply chain management, which benefit all of our geographic segments and system-wide restaurants and are not allocated specifically to any of the geographic segments.

The decreases in EBITDA and income from operations in the three months ended September 30, 2012 were driven by increases in other operating (income) expenses, net, global portfolio realignment project costs, share-based compensation and business combination agreement expenses. These factors were partially offset by the non-recurrence of costs related to the 2010 Transactions, global restructuring project and field optimization project. Income from operations was also impacted by reductions in depreciation and amortization expense.

Results of Operations for U.S. and Canada

Company restaurants

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, Company restaurant revenues decreased primarily due to the net refranchising of 573 Company restaurants during the trailing twelve-month period partially offset by the effects of Company comparable sales growth.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the decrease in CRM % reflects an increase in promotional activity designed to drive customer traffic and an increase in repair and maintenance expenses associated with restaurants prepared for refranchising. These factors were partially offset by margin benefits resulting from shifts in product mix, favorable adjustments to our self-insurance reserve and the leveraging effect of Company comparable sales growth on our fixed occupancy and other costs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, CRM% reflects an increase in promotional activity to drive traffic and trial of limited time offer menu items, increases in food, paper and product costs and an increase in repair and maintenance expenses associated with restaurants prepared for refranchising, the effects of which were partially offset by favorable adjustments to our self-insurance reserve.

Franchise and Property

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, franchise and property revenues increased primarily due to the net refranchising of 573 Company restaurants during the trailing twelve-month period and franchise comparable sales growth, which resulted in increased royalties and rents. Additionally, renewal franchise fees increased during the nine-month period due to the timing of renewals as a result of incentives provided to franchisees to accelerate restaurant remodels. FX impact was not significant.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, franchise and property expenses increased primarily due to additional restaurants leased or subleased to franchisees as a result of refranchisings, partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense. FX impact was not significant.

Segment income and segment margin

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, segment income decreased due to a decrease in CRM, partially offset by an increase in net franchise and property income and a decrease in segment selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, segment income increased due to increases in CRM and net franchise and property income and a decrease in segment SG&A.

Segment margins increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily as a result of the decreased concentration of Company restaurant revenues in the segment following the refranchisings.

Company restaurants

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, Company restaurant revenues decreased primarily due to the net refranchising of 58 Company restaurants during the trailing twelve-month period and unfavorable FX impact. These factors were partially offset by the effects of Company comparable sales growth.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, CRM% increased primarily as a result of the leveraging effect of Company comparable sales growth on our fixed occupancy and other operating costs and the refranchising of 56 Company restaurants with lower than average CRM% during the second quarter of 2012. These factors were partially offset by increased food, paper and product costs, promotions of lower margin menu items and wage rate increases in Germany.

Franchise and Property

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, franchise and property revenues reflect unfavorable FX impact largely offset by franchise NRG of 160 restaurants and the net refranchising of 58 Company restaurants during the trailing twelve-month period, which resulted in increased royalties and rents.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, franchise and property revenues increased due to franchise comparable sales growth, franchise NRG of 160 restaurants and the net refranchising of 58 Company restaurants during the trailing twelve-month period, which resulted in increased royalties and rents. Additionally, initial franchise fees increased as a result of the increase in franchise NRG during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and renewal and other related franchise fees increased primarily due to the early renewal of franchise agreements and area development fees. These factors were partially offset by unfavorable FX impact.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, franchise and property expenses increased due to rent expense associated with additional properties leased or subleased to franchisees as a result of refranchisings, partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense and favorable FX impact.

Segment income and segment margin

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, segment income decreased due to decreases in CRM and net franchise and property income, partially offset by a decrease in segment SG&A. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, segment income increased primarily due to an increase in net franchise and property income and a decrease in segment SG&A, partially offset by a decrease in CRM.

Segment margins increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily as a result of the decreased concentration of Company restaurant revenues in the segment following the refranchisings.

Franchise and Property

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, franchise and property revenues increased primarily due to franchise comparable sales growth and franchise NRG of 103 restaurants during the trailing twelve-month period, which resulted in increased royalties. Additionally, initial franchise fees increased as a result of the increase in franchise NRG and area development fees during the three and nine month periods increased as well. These factors were partially offset during the nine month period by the prior year collection and recognition of cumulative royalties previously deferred.

Company restaurants

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, Company restaurant revenues decreased due to negative Company comparable sales growth, the net refranchising of 60 Company restaurants during the trailing twelve-month period and unfavorable FX impact.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Company restaurant revenues decreased due to the net refranchising of 60 Company restaurants during the trailing twelve-month period partially offset by Company comparable sales growth and the May 2012 acquisition of 22 restaurants in China which were subsequently refranchised in June 2012. FX impact was not significant.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, CRM% increased primarily as a result of lower food, paper and product costs, partially offset by the deleveraging effect of decreases in Company comparable sales on our fixed occupancy and other operating costs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, CRM% decreased primarily as a result of higher labor costs in Singapore partially offset by the leveraging effect of Company comparable sales growth on our fixed occupancy and other operating costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $482.8 million and working capital of $360.9 million. In addition, we had borrowing capacity of $118.5 million under our 2012 Revolving Credit Facility. Net cash provided by operating activities was $144.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $314.7 million for the same period in the prior year.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our 2012 Revolving Credit Facility. We have used, and may in the future use, our liquidity to make required interest and principal payments, to voluntarily repay and/or repurchase our or one of our affiliate’s outstanding debt, to fund our capital expenditures and/or to pay dividends. Based on our current level of operations and available cash, we believe our cash flow from operations, combined with availability under our Revolving Credit Facility, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our current obligations, debt service requirements and capital spending requirements over the next twelve months.

Our consolidated cash and cash equivalents include balances held in foreign tax jurisdictions that represent undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, which are considered indefinitely reinvested for U.S. income tax purposes. We do not plan to utilize cash flows from our foreign subsidiaries to meet our future debt service requirements in the U.S. and to the degree cash is transferred to the U.S. from our foreign subsidiaries, we expect we will be able to do so in a tax efficient manner. However, adverse income tax consequences could result if we are compelled to make unplanned transfers of cash to meet future liquidity requirements in the U.S.

As a result of our borrowings, we are highly leveraged. Our liquidity requirements are significant, primarily due to debt service requirements.

Debt Instruments and Debt Service Requirements

Our long-term debt is comprised primarily of borrowings under our 2012 Credit Agreement (defined below), amounts outstanding under our Senior Notes and Discount Notes (each also defined below), and obligations under capital leases. The following information summarizes the principal terms and near term debt service requirements under our 2012 Credit Agreement and the indentures governing our Senior Notes and Discount Notes (the “Senior Notes Indenture” and “Discount Notes Indenture”, collectively, “Indentures”). For further information about our long-term debt, see Note 6 to the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

2012 Credit Agreement

On September 28, 2012 (the “Closing Date”), BKC and BKH entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2012 Credit Agreement”) dated as of September 28, 2012 to refinance amounts borrowed under our previous credit agreement, the 2011 Amended Credit Agreement. The 2012 Credit Agreement provides for (i) tranche A term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $1,030.0 million (the “Tranche A Term Loans”), (ii) tranche B term loans in the aggregate amount of $705.0 million (the “Tranche B Term Loans” and, together with the Tranche A Term Loans, the “2012 Term Loans”), in each case under the new senior secured term loan facility (the “2012 Term Loan Facility”), and (iii) a new senior secured revolving credit facility for up to $130.0 million of revolving extensions of credit outstanding at any time (including revolving loans, swingline loans and letters of credit (the “2012 Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the 2012 Term Loan Facility, the “2012 Credit Facilities”).

On the Closing Date, the full amount of the Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans was drawn and no revolving loans were drawn. The proceeds of the Tranche A Term Loans and the Tranche B Term Loans were used to repay the terms loans outstanding under the 2011 Amended Credit Agreement. In addition, approximately $11.5 million of letters of credit were issued in order to backstop, replace or roll-over existing letters of credit under the 2011 Amended Credit Agreement.

The Tranche A Term Loans have a five-year maturity, and the Tranche B Term Loans have a seven-year maturity. The 2012 Revolving Credit Facility matures on October 19, 2015, which was the maturity date of the revolving credit facility under the 2011 Amended Credit Agreement. The principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans amortizes in quarterly installments of (i) $6.4 million from December 31, 2012 through September 30, 2013, (ii) $12.9 million from December 31, 2013 through September 30, 2014, (iii) $19.3 million from December 31, 2014 through September 30, 2015, (iv) $25.8 million from December 31, 2015 through September 30, 2016, and (v) $32.2 million from December 31, 2016 through June 30, 2017, with the balance payable at maturity. The principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans amortizes in quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans, with the balance payable at maturity.

Based on the amounts outstanding under the 2012 Term Loan Facility and the three-month LIBOR rates as of September 30, 2012, required debt service for the next twelve months is estimated to be approximately $53.6 million in interest payments and $32.8 million in principal payments.

We may prepay the 2012 Term Loan Facility in whole or in part at any time. Additionally, subject to certain exceptions, the 2012 Credit Facilities are subject to mandatory prepayments in amounts equal to (1) 100% of the net cash proceeds from any non-ordinary course sale or other disposition of assets (including as a result of casualty or condemnation); (2) 100% of the net cash proceeds from issuances or incurrences of debt by BKH, BKC or any of its restricted subsidiaries (other than indebtedness permitted by the 2012 Credit Facilities); and (3) 50% (with stepdowns to 25% and 0% based upon achievement of specified total leverage ratios) of annual excess cash flow of BKC and its restricted subsidiaries.

As of September 30, 2012, we had $11.5 million of irrevocable standby letters of credit outstanding, which were issued under the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility primarily to certain insurance carriers to guarantee payments of deductibles for various insurance programs, such as health and commercial liability insurance. These letters of credit are secured by the collateral under the 2012 Credit Facilities. As of September 30, 2012, no amounts had been drawn on any of these irrevocable standby letters of credit and our remaining borrowing capacity under the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility was $118.5 million.

Under the 2012 Credit Agreement, at BKC’s election, the interest rate per annum applicable to the loans was based on a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to either a base rate or a Euro currency rate, as described in Note 6 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, plus an applicable margin equal to 1.25% (or 2.25% for Eurocurrency based loans) for any Tranche A Term Loan, 1.75% for any Tranche B Term Loan (or 2.75% for Eurocurrency based loans) and 2.25% for loans under the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility (or 3.25% for Eurocurrency based loans). As of September 30, 2012, the interest rate on our outstanding Tranche A Term Loan was 2.625% and 3.75% on our outstanding Tranche B Term Loan. Interest rate fluctuations applicable to borrowings under the 2012 Credit Agreement attributable to future changes in LIBOR will be partially mitigated by interest rate caps with a notional value of $1.4 billion.

Senior Notes

We currently have outstanding $794.5 million of senior notes due 2018 (the “Senior Notes”) which were issued by BKC. The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.875% per annum, which is payable semi-annually on October 15 and April 15 of each year. The Senior Notes mature on October 15, 2018. Based on the amount outstanding at September 30, 2012, required debt service for the next twelve months on the Senior Notes is $78.5 million in interest payments. No principal payments are due until maturity. BKW, BKH and all of BKC’s existing direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed BKC’s obligations under the Senior Notes.

At any time prior to October 15, 2013, we may redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Senior Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 109.875% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. The Senior Notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after October 15, 2014 at 104.938% of the principal amount, at any time on or after October 15, 2015 at 102.469% of the principal amount or at any time on or after October 15, 2016 at 100% of the principal amount.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we repurchased and retired Senior Notes with an aggregate face value of $3.0 million for a purchase price of $3.4 million, including accrued interest. We may periodically repurchase additional Senior Notes in open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, subject to our future liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions under our 2012 Credit Agreement and other factors.

Discount Notes

On April 19, 2011, Burger King Capital Holdings, LLC (“BKCH”) and Burger King Capital Finance, Inc. (“BKCF” and together with BKCH, the “Issuers”) entered into an indenture with Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee, pursuant to which the Issuers sold $685 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of 11.0% senior discount notes due 2019 (the “Discount Notes”). The Discount Notes generated $401.5 million in gross proceeds.

Until April 15, 2016, no cash interest will accrue, but the Discount Notes will accrete at a rate of 11.0% per annum compounded semi-annually such that the accreted value on April 15, 2016 will be equal to the principal amount at maturity. Thereafter, cash interest on the Discount Notes will accrue at a rate equal to 11.0% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on October 15, 2016. The Discount Notes will mature on April 15, 2019. BKW has guaranteed the Issuers’ obligations under the Discount Notes. The Issuers have no operations or assets other than the interest in BKH held by BKCH. Accordingly, the cash required to service the Discount Notes is expected to be funded through distributions from BKC.

At any time prior to April 15, 2014, we may redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Discount Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 111.0% of the accreted value of the Discount Notes, plus (without duplication) any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. The Discount Notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after April 15, 2015 at 105.5% of the principal amount, at any time on or after April 15, 2016 at 102.75% of the principal amount or at any time on or after April 15, 2017 at 100% of the principal amount.

Table of Contents

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we repurchased Discount Notes with an aggregate face value of $92.9 million and an aggregate carrying value of $61.1 million, net of unamortized original issue discount, for a purchase price of $69.6 million. During 2011, we repurchased Discount Notes with a carrying value of $7.9 million for a purchase price of $7.6 million.

The occurrence of a change in control will require us to offer to purchase all or a portion of the Discount Notes at a price equal to 101% of the accreted value, plus (without duplication) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. Certain asset dispositions will also require us to use the proceeds from those asset dispositions to make an offer to purchase the Discount Notes at 100% of their accreted value, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, if such proceeds are not otherwise used within a specified period to repay indebtedness or to invest in capital assets related to our business or capital stock of a restricted subsidiary.

On December 16, 2011, our board of directors paid a dividend to our stockholders, including 3G, in the amount of $393.4 million, representing the net proceeds from the sale of the Discount Notes.

Restrictions and Covenants

The 2012 Credit Agreement and Indentures contain certain restrictions and covenants that we must meet during the term of the 2012 Credit Agreement, Senior Notes and Discount Notes, including, but not limited to, limitations on restricted payments (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement and Indentures), incurrence of indebtedness, issuance of disqualified stock and preferred stock, asset sales, mergers and consolidations, transactions with affiliates and guarantees of indebtedness by subsidiaries.

it is made with funds received from the issuance of equity interests of BKC or its direct or indirect parent companies and is used for the redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of equity interests of BKC or its direct or indirect parent companies;

 

   

it is less than 6% per annum of the net cash proceeds received by or contributed to BKC from a public offering of BKC’s common stock or the common stock of any of its direct or indirect parent companies;

 

   

it is used to fund certain operational expenditures of any of BKC’s direct or indirect parent companies; or

 

   

it, when combined with all other Restricted Payments (as defined in the Senior Notes Indenture) that rely upon this exception, is less than $75 million (the restrictions described in these four bullet points, collectively, the “Distribution Restrictions”).

Finally, pursuant to the Discount Notes Indenture, BKCH is restricted from paying any dividend or making any payment or distribution on account of its equity interests unless, among other things, (i) the dividend, payment or distribution (together with all other such dividends, payments or distributions made since October 19, 2010) is less than an amount calculated based in part on the Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the Discount Notes Indenture) of BKCH and its restricted subsidiaries since October 1, 2010, or (ii) the dividend, payment or distribution fits within one or more exceptions, including the Distribution Restrictions.

Table of Contents

The restrictions under the 2012 Credit Agreement, and the Indentures have resulted in the restricted net assets of each of BKC and BKCH exceeding 25% of our consolidated net assets. Our restricted net assets at September 30, 2012 totaled $983.3 million.

As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants of the 2012 Credit Agreement and Indentures, and there were no limitations on our ability to draw on the remaining availability under our 2012 Revolving Credit Facility.

Comparative Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $144.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $314.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily as a result of changes in working capital driven by the timing of advertising expenditures, refranchising of Company restaurants during 2012 and a federal tax refund of $75.5 million received during 2011.

Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities was $27.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $19.3 million of cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily as a result of an increase in proceeds from refranchisings, net of payments for acquisitions and a decrease in capital expenditures.

Capital expenditures for new restaurants include the costs to build new Company restaurants as well as properties for new restaurants that we lease to franchisees. Capital expenditures for existing restaurants consist of the purchase of real estate related to existing restaurants, maintenance capital required for each Company restaurant to maintain its appearance in accordance with our standards and investments in new equipment and remodeling. Capital expenditures made for existing restaurants also include investments we make in properties we lease or sublease to franchisees, including contributions we make towards leasehold improvements completed by franchisees on properties we own. Other capital expenditures include investments in information technology systems and corporate furniture and fixtures. The following table presents capital expenditures, by type of expenditure:

 

     Nine Months Ended

Additionally, we acquired $36.1 million of property and equipment under capital lease agreements entered into during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

We expect cash capital expenditures of approximately $75.0 million to $85.0 million in 2012 to fund maintenance capital requirements, operational initiatives in our restaurants and other corporate expenditures. Our actual capital expenditures may be affected by economic and other factors. We expect to fund capital expenditures from cash on hand, cash flow from operations and borrowings under the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility.

Financing Activities

Cash used for financing activities was $148.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $364.4 million during the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of cash used for the prepayment of our Term Loans and repurchase of our Senior Notes and Discount Notes in 2012 compared to the net proceeds from the issuance of our Discount Notes in 2011.

Dividends

On October 28, 2012, our Board of Directors approved the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders. A quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share will be paid on November 29, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 9, 2012. Future dividends will be determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000, we entered into long-term, exclusive contracts with soft drink vendors to supply Company and franchise restaurants with their products and obligating Burger King restaurants in the United States to purchase a specified number of gallons of soft drink syrup. These volume commitments are not subject to any time limit and as of September 30, 2012, we estimate it will take approximately 14 years for these purchase commitments to be completed.

During 2011, we entered into a five-year contract with a vendor to supply Company and franchise restaurants in certain countries in LAC with soft drink products on an exclusive basis and to supply Company and franchise restaurants in the United States with food products. We received upfront fees and contributions to our marketing funds in connection with this agreement and may receive additional fees in the future in connection with the achievement of certain milestones. We recognize the fees earned in connection with milestone achievement as franchise and property revenue when it is reasonably estimable and probable. Upfront fees are amortized as franchise and property revenue over the term of the contract. As of September 30, 2012, the deferred income associated with this contract totaled $3.0 million.

In the event of early termination of any of these arrangements, we may be required to make termination payments that could be material to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

From time to time, we enter into agreements under which we guarantee loans made by third parties to qualified franchisees. As of September 30, 2012, there were $74.3 million of loans outstanding to franchisees that we had guaranteed under three such programs, with additional franchisee borrowing capacity of approximately $211.1 million remaining. Our maximum guarantee liability under these three programs is limited to an aggregate of $25.3 million, assuming full utilization of all borrowing capacity. As of September 30, 2012, the liability we recorded to reflect the fair value of these guarantee obligations was $2.3 million. No events of default have occurred and no payments have been made by us in connection with these guarantees through September 30, 2012.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2012, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations, which are detailed in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on June 18, 2012, for the year ended December 31, 2011. We completed the refinancing of our term debt with the 2012 Credit Agreement, as discussed above. The following table provides an update as of September 30, 2012 of the long-term debt contractual obligations presented in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on June 18, 2012 for the year ended December 31, 2011:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our audited Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis and we base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions we deem reasonable to the situation. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Volatile credit, equity, foreign currency and energy markets, and declines in consumer spending have increased and may continue to create uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in our estimates could materially impact our results of operations and financial condition in any particular period. For a complete discussion of our critical and significant accounting policies and estimates, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on June 18, 2012.

Long-Lived Asset Impairment and Gains (Losses) on Refranchisings

Long-lived assets that are held and used (including intangible assets subject to amortization) are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable. Some of the events or changes in circumstances that would trigger and impairment test include, but are not limited to:

 

   

significant under-performance relative to expected and / or historical results (negative comparable sales growth or operating cash flows for two consecutive years);

 

   

significant negative industry or economic trends;

 

   

knowledge of transactions involving the sale of similar property at amounts below our carrying value; or

 

   

our expectation to dispose of long-lived assets before the end of their estimated useful lives, even though the assets do not meet the criteria to be classified as “held for sale”

The impairment test for long-lived assets requires us to assess the recoverability of our groups of long-lived assets by comparing their net carrying value to the sum of undiscounted future cash flows associated with and arising from our use and eventual disposition of the assets. If the net carrying value of a group of assets exceeds the sum of related undiscounted estimated future cash flows, we would be required to record an impairment charge equal to the excess, if any, of net carrying value over fair value. Impairment charges are classified as a component of other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of operations.

When we commit to a plan to dispose of long-lived assets by refranchising specific restaurants in their current condition at a price that is reasonable, and we believe completing the plan of sale within one year is probable without significant changes, we classify the assets as “held for sale”. Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. Impairments and gains (losses) associated with the eventual disposition of assets held for sale are classified as a component of other income (expenses), net in our consolidated statements of operations.

If we subsequently decide to retain a restaurant or group of restaurants previously classified as held for sale, the assets would be reclassified from assets held for sale at the lower of (a) their then-current fair value or (b) the carrying value at the date the assets were classified as held for sale, less the depreciation that would have been recorded since that date.

When assessing the recoverability of our long-lived assets, we make significant assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows, including restaurant sales, margins, operating costs and capital requirements, and sales proceeds to be expected from the residual value of asset groups. We also derive fair value estimates for impairment purposes based on Level 3 inputs derived from internal estimates, including our estimates of proceeds from planned refranchising transactions, where applicable. The assumptions used in recoverability tests and to estimate fair values involve a high degree of judgment and also bear a significant impact on accounting conclusions. We formulate estimates from historical experience and assumptions of future performance, based on business plans and forecasts, recent economic and business trends and competitive conditions. In the event our estimates or related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record an impairment charge.

See Note 2 — New Accounting Pronouncements, in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There were no material changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to the disclosures made in Part II, Item 7A of our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on June 18, 2012 for the year ended December 31, 2011, other than the following information related to new cross-currency rate swap derivatives and forward-starting interest rate swaps.

During the first quarter of 2012, we entered into cross-currency rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $230 million to hedge a portion of the net investment in a Swiss subsidiary, Burger King Europe GmbH. These swaps are contracts to exchange quarterly fixed-rate payments we make in Euros for quarterly fixed-rate payments we receive in US dollars. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are immediately recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to offset the change in the value of the net investment being hedged. At September 30, 2012, the estimated fair value of our cross-currency rate swaps was a liability of $0.4 million. These instruments mature on an amortization schedule, with a final maturity of October 19, 2016. A hypothetical 10% strengthening of the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar as of September 30, 2012, would result in an after-tax translation loss of $15.7 million within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). A hypothetical 10% weakening of the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar as of September 30, 2012, would result in an after-tax translation gain of $15.7 million within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains (losses) on the net investment hedge recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) would be offset by a corresponding decrease (increase) in the carrying amount of our net investment in Burger King Europe GmbH.

Table of Contents

During the third quarter of 2012, we began to hedge the variability of forecasted interest payments associated with changes in interest rates beginning in 2015 and 2016 using forward-starting interest swaps. In August 2012, we entered into three forward-starting interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $2.3 billion with terms calling for us to receive interest quarterly at a variable rate equal to the forward 90-day LIBOR swap rate and to pay interest quarterly at a fixed rate. The forward-starting interest rate swaps effectively fix the interest rate on $1.0 billion of floating-rate debt beginning 2015 and $1.3 billion of floating-rate debt starting 2016. At September 30, 2012, the estimated fair value of our forward starting interest rate swaps was a liability of $12.3 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and Exchange Act Rules 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2012. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, confirm that there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
