2015 Guidance
![Page 76](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0001546417-14-000161/blmnanalystandinvestorda076.jpg)
Domestic Comp Sales: At least 1.5% Adj. Diluted EPS Growth As Reported: At least 15% Adj. Diluted EPS Growth(1)(2): At least 10% (comparable) Number of New System-wide Restaurants: 40 – 50 Capital Expenditures: $235M - $255M Commodity Costs: 4% - 6% 2015 Guidance (1) Fiscal 2014 included 362 days whereas fiscal 2015 will included 364 days. Adjusted EPS growth removes the estimated impact of those two additional days (2) Includes estimates of expected adjustments for: (i) expenses related to our planned International restaurant closures; (ii) asset impairment charges related to the implementation of a domestic relocation program; and (iii) amortization of intangibles recorded as a result of the Brazil acquisition
![Page 77](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0001546417-14-000161/blmnanalystandinvestorda077.jpg)
Key Assumptions Behind 2015 Guidance • Domestic comp sales growth of at least 1.5% – Cautious approach to segment sales trend assuming industry comp sales down slightly – Maintain a >200bp over-delivery vs. Knapp •Development of 40 to 50 new restaurants – Openings reflect portfolio reprioritization – Pursuing only “A” sites in pipeline – Brazil remains an attractive opportunity
![Page 78](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0001546417-14-000161/blmnanalystandinvestorda078.jpg)
• Expect an approximate 5% increase in 2015 G&A spend which includes: – $5M to $10M of incremental strategic investment spending • Technology and Digital • China and Latin America – $10M to $15M in incentive compensation “reload” due to 2014 under-performance Disciplined G&A Mindset Funds Investment Spending And Incentive Compensation Reload We Will Manage All Other G&A to Flat Dollar Growth or Better in 2015
![Page 79](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0001546417-14-000161/blmnanalystandinvestorda079.jpg)
Key Assumptions Behind 2015 Guidance •Other factors: – FOREX curve for the Brazilian Real suggests a $9M headwind in 2015 – Higher expected commodity costs (4 - 6%) due to higher beef costs
