The Wendy’s Company For ward-looking Statements & Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Wendy’s Company This presentation, and certain information that management may discuss in connection with this presentation, contains certain statements that are not historical facts, including information concerning possible or assumed future results of our operations. Those statements constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (The “Reform Act”). For all forward-looking statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Reform Act. Many important factors could affect our future results and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by our forward-looking statements. Such factors, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately, and many of which are beyond our control, include but are not limited to those identified under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements” in our news release issued on June 27, 2012 and in the “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Projections” and “Risk Factors” sections of our most recent Form 10-K / Form 10-Qs. In addition, this presentation, and certain information that management may discuss in connection with this presentation, references non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain expenses, net of certain benefits. The Company’s presentation of adjusted EBITDA does not replace the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP. |
