The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position as at March 30, 2014, and the results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the first quarters ended March 30, 2014 and March 31, 2013. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited 2013 Consolidated Financial Statements which are contained in our most recent Annual Report. The December 29, 2013 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included herein was derived from the audited 2013 Consolidated Financial Statements, but does not include all of the year-end disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. |

INCOME TAXES | |
The effective income tax rate was 28.7% for the first quarter ended March 30, 2014 (first quarter fiscal 2013: 27.7%). The change in the effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013 is primarily due to an increase in costs related to the Company’s new long-term debt, for which a full tax benefit has not been recognized. |

LONG TERM DEBT | |
Senior Unsecured Notes, Series 3, due April 1, 2019 | |
The Company offered Senior Unsecured Notes, Series 3, due April 1, 2019 (“Series 3 Notes”) on a private placement basis in the first quarter of 2014 for total net proceeds of $449.9 million, which included a discount of $0.1 million. The Company also entered into interest rate forwards, with a notional value of $450.0 million, which acted as a cash flow hedge to limit the interest rate volatility in the period prior to the initial issuance of the Series 3 Notes. These forwards were settled on issuance resulting in a loss of $4.9 million. The discount, the loss on the interest rate forwards, and financing fees of approximately $2.0 million were deferred and are being amortized to Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations over the five year term of the debt. The effective yield, including all fees and the interest rate forwards loss, is 3.19%. | |
The Series 3 Notes bear a fixed interest coupon rate of 2.85% with interest payable in semi-annual installments, in arrears, which will commence on October 1, 2014. The Series 3 Notes rank equally and pari passu with each other and with the notes of every other series (regardless of their actual time of issue) issued under the trust indenture dated June 1, 2010 between the Company and BNY Trust Company of Canada (the “Trust Indenture”), and with all other senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company, including amounts owing under our revolving bank facilities, except as to any sinking fund which pertains exclusively to any particular indebtedness of the Company, and subject to statutorily preferred exceptions. | |
The Series 3 Notes are initially guaranteed by The TDL Group Corp., the Company’s largest Canadian subsidiary, on the same terms and conditions as prescribed for our other Series Notes. The Series 3 Notes are also subject to certain covenants limiting liens to secure borrowed money (subject to permitted exceptions) and limiting the ability of the Company to undertake certain acquisitions and dispositions (subject to compliance with certain requirements), but there are no financial covenants. | |
The Series 3 Notes are redeemable, at the Company’s option, at any time, upon not less than 30 days’ and not more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (i) a price calculated to provide a yield to maturity (from the redemption date) equal to the yield on a non-callable Government of Canada bond with a maturity equal to, or as close as possible to, the remaining term to maturity of the Series 3 Notes, plus 0.285%; and (ii) par, together, in each case, with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption. In the event of a change of control (which, for the Series 3 Notes, includes a change in the majority of the Board of Directors) and a resulting rating downgrade to below investment grade, the Borrower will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Series 3 Notes at a redemption price of 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. | |
Revolving Bank Facilities | |
A portion of the proceeds from the Series 3 Notes were used to settle the balance of our 364-day $400.0 million Revolving Bank Facility (the “2013 Revolving Bank Facility”) in the first quarter of 2014, which had been used for general corporate purposes, including share repurchases. The settlement automatically retired the repaid balance and any undrawn amounts under the 2013 Revolving Bank Facility on the settlement date. On March 30, 2014, there was $35.0 million on this facility outstanding (December 29, 2013: $30.0 million), which was repaid in April 2014, and resulted in the retirement of the remaining 2013 Revolving Bank Facility. |

(3) | The Notes payable to the Company by the Advertising Fund VIEs, which are funded by the Restricted cash and cash equivalents related to our Tim Card program, are eliminated upon consolidation of the Ad Fund. In the first quarter of 2014, the Ad Fund drew $20.0 million on its revolving credit facility, which is funded by the Restricted cash and cash equivalents related to our Tim Card program, for purposes of the Expanded Menu Board Program. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

The liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not necessarily represent additional claims on the Company’s general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the consolidated VIEs. Conversely, assets recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims by the Company’s creditors as they are not legally included within the Company’s general assets. |

The Company operates exclusively in the quick service restaurant industry. The chief decision maker views and evaluates the Company’s reportable segments as follows: | ||||||||
Canadian and U.S. business units.The results of each of the Canadian and U.S. business units includes substantially all restaurant-facing activities, such as: (i) rents and royalties; (ii) product sales through our supply chain, as well as an allocation of supply chain income, driven primarily by the business units’ respective systemwide sales; (iii) franchise fees; (iv) corporate restaurants; (v) equity income related to restaurant operating ventures; and (vi) business-unit-related general and administrative expenses. The business units exclude the effect of consolidating VIEs, consistent with how the chief decision maker views and evaluates the respective business unit’s results. | ||||||||
Corporate services. Corporate services comprises services to support the Canadian and U.S. business units, including: (i) general and administrative expenses; (ii) manufacturing income, and to a much lesser extent, manufacturing sales to third parties; and (iii) income related to our distribution services, including the timing of variances arising primarily from commodity costs and the related effect on pricing, which generally reverse within a year, associated with our supply chain management. Our supply chain management involves securing a stable source of supply, which is intended to provide our restaurant owners with consistent and predictable pricing. Many of these products are typically priced based on a fixed-dollar mark-up and can relate to a pricing period which may extend beyond a quarter. Corporate services also includes the results of our international operations, which are currently not significant. | ||||||||
