Forward-Looking Statements andNon-GAAP Financial Information 2 Forward-Looking StatementsThis presentation contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this presentation may be forward-looking statements. The words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intend,” “targets,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates”, “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” and other expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and that do not relate to historical matters identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectation are disclosed under the section “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this presentation in the context of these risks and uncertainties. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or qualified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements made in this presentation is current only as of the date on which it is made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any previously-made forward-looking statement, irrespective of any new information, changes in facts, circumstances, or developments, or otherwise, except as required by law.Non-GAAP Financial InformationThe non-GAAP financial measures contained in this presentation (including, without limitation, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Restaurant Operating Profit and Cash on Cash Return on Investment) are not GAAP measures of financial performance or liquidity and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) as a measure of financial performance or cash flows from operations as measures of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as they do not reflect tax payments, debt service requirements, capital expenditures, new restaurant openings and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future, including among other things, cash requirements for working capital needs and cash costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. Management compensates for these limitations by relying on our GAAP results in addition to using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in a supplemental manner. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Restaurant Operating Profit and Cash on Cash Return on Investment are included in this presentation because they are key metrics used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Our measures of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Restaurant Operating Profit and Cash on Cash Return on Investment are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.
