         TRIARC REPORTS SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST HALF 2005 RESULTS

          o  Arby's(R) same store sales continue to increase
        o Deerfield's assets under management exceed $10 billion


New York, NY, August 11, 2005 - Triarc  Companies,  Inc. (NYSE: TRY; TRY.B)
announced  today the results of operations for its second quarter and first half
ended July 3, 2005.

                          Consolidated Highlights
                          -----------------------

o    Consolidated revenues increased to $93.7 million in the 2005 second quarter
     ($181.4 million in the 2005 first half) from $77.5 million in the 2004
     second quarter ($146.7 million in the 2004 first half) primarily reflecting
     $11.8 million in asset management and related fees of Deerfield & Company
     LLC ("Deerfield") ($24.7 million in the 2005 first half), in which Triarc
     acquired an approximate 64% capital interest in July 2004, as well as
     increases in royalties and franchise and related fees and net sales from
     company-owned Arby's(R) restaurants for the 2005 periods. Second quarter
     2005 Arby's systemwide same-store sales were up 3% versus the 2004 second
     quarter (up 3% in the 2005 first half).

o    Consolidated net income was $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted Class A and
     Class B share, in the 2005 second quarter (net income of $3.1 million, or
     $0.05 per diluted Class A and Class B share, in the 2005 first half),
     compared with a net loss of $(1.3) million, or $(0.02) per diluted Class A
     and Class B share in the 2004 second quarter (net loss of $(4.4) million,
     or $(0.07) per diluted Class A and Class B share, in the 2004 first half).

o    Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
     ("EBITDA") (which we define as operating profit plus depreciation and
     amortization, other than amortization of deferred financing costs) was $8.3
     million in the 2005 second quarter ($14.2 million in the 2005 first half),
     compared with $6.8 million in the 2004 second quarter ($10.1 million in the
     2004 first half). The attached table provides the calculation of EBITDA and
     a reconciliation of EBITDA to our consolidated net income (loss).

o    Consolidated operating profit decreased to $2.7 million in the 2005 second
     quarter ($3.2 million in the 2005 first half) compared with $3.3 million in
     the 2004 second quarter ($3.3 million in the 2004 first half), due to
     higher general and administrative expenses, principally reflecting higher
     incentive compensation, increased headcount and a second quarter 2005
     provision for stock-based compensation, primarily offset by the impact of
     the restaurant revenue increases noted above and the operating profit of
     Deerfield.

o    The 2005 second quarter included a $3.1 million gain ($12.7 million in the
     2005 first half) primarily related to sales of common stock of Encore
     Capital Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: ECPG), a strategic equity investment of the
     Company. The Company currently owns approximately 5.4% of Encore's
     outstanding shares.

o    Consolidated depreciation and amortization was $5.5 million in the 2005
     second quarter ($11.1 million in the 2005 first half) versus $3.5 million
     in the 2004 second quarter ($6.8 million in the 2004 first half). These
     increases reflect the depreciation and amortization related to Deerfield as
     well as the depreciation and amortization of software and hardware related
     to the implementation of new back office and point-of-sale systems at
     company-owned Arby's restaurants in the second half of 2004.

o    Consolidated interest expense was $12.5 million in the 2005 second quarter
     ($22.7 million in the 2005 first half), compared with $9.0 million in the
     2004 second quarter ($18.6 million in the 2004 first half). These increases
     principally reflect activity of the Deerfield Opportunities Fund (the
     "Opportunities Fund"), a multi-strategy hedge fund managed by Deerfield in
     which the Company has an investment and which employs leverage in its
     investment strategies, partially offset by lower balances of the majority
     of the Company's debt.

o    Consolidated net investment income increased to $7.6 million in the 2005
     second quarter ($16.7 million in the 2005 first half) from $4.6 million in
     the 2004 second quarter ($11.2 million in the 2004 first half). These
     increases primarily reflect (1) increases in interest income principally
     due to the activity of the Opportunities Fund and, to a lesser extent, an
     increase in average rates on interest-bearing investments and (2) charges
     in the 2004 periods for other than temporary unrealized losses that did not
     recur to the same extent in the 2005 periods. These increases were
     partially offset by decreases in recognized net gains (losses) principally
     reflecting realized net losses on securities sold short with an obligation
     to purchase.

                        Restaurant Operations Highlights
                        --------------------------------

o    On July 25, 2005, Triarc completed the acquisition of RTM Restaurant Group
     ("RTM"). RTM was Arby's largest franchisee, with 775 Arby's restaurants in
     22 states. Beginning in the 2005 third quarter, the financial results of
     Triarc's restaurant operations will reflect the inclusion of RTM. As a
     result of the RTM acquisition, among other things, for the remainder of
     2005, our restaurant operations' net sales are expected to increase
     significantly while our royalties and franchise and related fees will
     decrease significantly due to the elimination in consolidation of royalties
     and franchise and related fees from RTM.

o    Net sales from the company-owned Arby's restaurants were $55.0 million in
     the 2005 second quarter ($106.2 million in the 2005 first half), compared
     with $52.7 million in the 2004 second quarter ($99.4 million in the 2004
     first half). Royalties and franchise and related fees were $26.9 million in
     the 2005 second quarter ($50.5 million in the 2005 first half), up from
     $24.8 million in the 2004 second quarter ($47.3 million in the 2004 first
     half).

o    The 2005 second quarter increase in sales from company-owned restaurants of
     $2.3 million ($6.8 million for the 2005 first half) reflects the effect of
     a 4% increase in same-store sales for company-owned restaurants in the 2005
     second quarter (6% increase in same-store sales in the 2005 first half)
     compared with the 3% increase in the 2004 second quarter (relatively flat
     same-stores sales performance in the 2004 first half). These increases
     reflect new product introductions including Market Fresh(R) wraps and
     sandwiches, improved marketing, advertising and promotional programs and
     operational initiatives targeting continued improvement in customer service
     levels and convenience.

o    2005 second quarter same-store sales for franchised restaurants increased
     3% (3% for the 2005 first half) compared with a 4% increase in same-store
     sales in the 2004 second quarter (2% increase in the 2004 first half),
     reflecting the impact of the new product introductions and advertising and
     marketing programs discussed above. Royalties and franchise and related
     fees were also positively impacted by royalties from 86 franchised Arby's
     restaurants opened since June 27, 2004, with generally higher than average
     sales volumes, replacing the royalties from 62 generally underperforming
     franchised restaurants closed since June 27, 2004.

o    Systemwide same-store sales were up 3% in the 2005 second quarter (up 3% in
     the 2005 first half) versus an increase of 4% in the 2004 second quarter
     (up 2% in the 2004 first half). While third quarter 2005 systemwide
     same-store sales are expected to be relatively flat, given an exceptionally
     strong performance in the 2004 third quarter, we currently expect the
     increase in systemwide same-store sales to be positive for the remainder of
     2005, primarily reflecting the impact of new advertising and marketing
     initiatives as well as new product introductions.

o    The gross margin for our company-owned restaurants increased to 25% of
     sales in the 2005 second quarter from 21% in the 2004 second quarter and to
     24% in the 2005 first half from 21% in the 2004 first half. These increases
     principally reflect improved product mix, better oversight and training of
     store management, improved operational reporting made available by the new
     back office and point-of-sale restaurant systems implemented in the second
     half of 2004 that facilitated labor efficiencies and reduced food waste and
     the impact of certain price increases for some of our Arby's products.

o    Our restaurant business operating profit increased to $19.9 million in the
     2005 second quarter ($34.0 million in the 2005 first half) versus $14.9
     million in the 2004 second quarter ($26.9 million in the 2004 first half),
     reflecting the impact of the revenue increases and improved gross margins
     noted above.

o    Depreciation and amortization from our restaurant operations was $2.6
     million in the 2005 second quarter ($5.5 million in the 2005 first half)
     versus $2.3 million in the 2004 second quarter ($4.3 million in the 2004
     first half). These increases reflect the implementation of new back office
     and point-of-sale restaurant systems in our company-owned restaurants.

o    Restaurant business EBITDA was $22.4 million in the 2005 second quarter
     ($39.5 million in the 2005 first half), compared with $17.2 million in the
     2004 second quarter ($31.2 million in the 2004 first half), reflecting the
     factors discussed above. Restaurant EBITDA is reconciled to consolidated
     EBITDA, which is in turn reconciled to consolidated net income (loss), in
     the attached table.

o    In the 2005 second quarter, the Arby's system opened 26 new units (37 in
     the 2005 first half) and closed 11 generally underperforming units (24 in
     the 2005 first half). As of July 3, 2005, Arby's had commitments from
     franchisees to build 432 new units through 2011, including commitments from
     RTM to build 171 new units.

                           Asset Management Highlights
                           ---------------------------

o    Triarc accounts for Deerfield, its asset management business, as a
     consolidated subsidiary with a minority interest. For the 2005 second
     quarter, Deerfield's reported asset management and related fees, operating
     profit, depreciation and amortization and EBITDA, after the effects of
     purchase accounting adjustments associated with the Deerfield acquisition
     in July 2004 and before the effect of minority interests, were $11.8
     million, $0.1 million, $1.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively. For the
     2005 first half, those amounts were $24.7 million, $3.0 million, $2.6
     million and $5.6 million, respectively.

o    Excluding the effects of purchase accounting adjustments associated with
     the Deerfield acquisition in July 2004, for the 2005 second quarter,
     Deerfield's asset management and related fees, operating profit,
     depreciation and amortization and EBITDA, before the effect of minority
     interests, were $11.9 million, $1.6 million, $0.1 million and $1.7 million,
     respectively. For the 2005 first half, those amounts were $25.4 million,
     $5.9 million, $0.2 million and $6.1 million, respectively. The attached
     table provides a reconciliation of these measures to the corresponding
     measures without exclusion of the effects of purchase accounting
     adjustments associated with the Deerfield acquisition.

o    As of August 1, 2005, Deerfield had approximately $10.2 billion of assets
     under management ("AUM"), of which approximately $117 million was
     attributable to investments by Triarc. Deerfield's AUM at August 1, 2005
     consisted of approximately $8.5 billion in 18 CDOs and a structured loan
     fund, approximately $900 million in six hedge funds, approximately $730
     million in a real estate investment trust and approximately $70 million in
     several managed accounts.

o    On June 29, 2005, Deerfield Triarc Capital Corp. ("Deerfield Triarc")
     completed the initial public offering of approximately 25 million shares of
     its common stock and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the
     ticker symbol "DFR." Formed in December 2004, Deerfield Triarc is a real
     estate investment trust managed by Deerfield that invests in real
     estate-related securities and various other asset classes, which currently
     has approximately $730 million in net equity. Triarc and its subsidiaries
     beneficially own approximately 2.7% of Deerfield Triarc's common stock.

     Commenting on asset management operations,  Nelson Peltz, Triarc's Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer,  said: "We are very pleased with both the growth of
Deerfield's  assets under  management and the expansion of its asset  management
activities."

     Peltz added: "We expect  Deerfield's assets under management to continue to
grow  due  to its  strong  CDO  franchise  and  anticipated  growth  in  product
offerings.  As a result,  we expect Deerfield to deliver higher asset management
and related fees and  improved  operating  profit.  Greg Sachs and his team have
built a strong asset management franchise with an exciting future."

     Commenting on Arby's 2005 first half results, Peter May, Triarc's President
and Chief Operating  Officer,  said:  "Arby's first half financial  results were
strong.  We are  particularly  pleased with the continued  improvement in Arby's
operating performance."

     May added:  "We are excited about the RTM  acquisition.  The combination of
our restaurant operations with RTM creates a large, fully integrated and growing
restaurant company. We believe that Doug Benham and his team will provide strong
and effective leadership at the newly formed Arby's Restaurant Group."

     Commenting on Triarc's possible corporate  restructuring,  Peltz concluded:
"As we look ahead,  we see a number of  opportunities  for growth at both Arby's
and Deerfield.  Both  businesses,  led by strong  management  teams,  have great
organizations capable of further expansion. The proposed corporate restructuring
has the potential to unlock the value of both businesses.  In the coming months,
our Board of Directors and senior  management will continue to thoroughly review
the feasibility, as well as the risks and opportunities, of a possible corporate
restructuring, with the goal of enhancing Triarc shareholder value."

     Triarc is a holding company and, through its  subsidiaries,  the franchisor
of the Arby's  restaurant  system,  which is  comprised of  approximately  3,500
restaurants.  Of these  restaurants,  more than 1,000 are owned and  operated by
subsidiaries of Triarc.  Triarc also owns an approximate 64% capital interest in
Deerfield & Company LLC, a Chicago-based  asset manager offering a diverse range
of fixed income and  credit-related  strategies to institutional  investors with
$10.2 billion under management as of August 1, 2005.

                         Notes and Table To Follow




                          NOTES TO PRESS RELEASE
                          ----------------------

     1.   In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S.  Generally
          Accepted  Accounting  Principles  ("GAAP") in this press  release,  we
          present  EBITDA  because  we  believe  it is a  useful  supplement  to
          operating  profit in  understanding  and  assessing  our  consolidated
          results as well as the results of our segments.  We also use EBITDA to
          evaluate our segment performance and allocate  resources.  Because all
          companies  do not  calculate  EBITDA  or  similarly  titled  financial
          measures in the same way,  those  measures may not be consistent  with
          the  way we  calculate  EBITDA.  Our  presentation  of  EBITDA  is not
          intended  to replace  the  presentation  of our  financial  results in
          accordance   with  GAAP.   EBITDA  should  not  be  considered  as  an
          alternative to operating profit or net income or (loss).

     2.   In addition to the results  provided in  accordance  with GAAP in this
          press release,  we present  Deerfield's  asset  management and related
          fees,  operating  profit,  depreciation  and  amortization  and EBITDA
          before the effect of  minority  interests,  excluding  the  effects of
          purchase   accounting   adjustments   associated  with  the  Deerfield
          acquisition.  We believe these  non-GAAP  financial  measures  enhance
          management's  ability to  compare  Deerfield's  historical  and future
          operating  results  and to compare  Deerfield's  operating  results to
          those of its  competitors.  We also believe these  non-GAAP  financial
          measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater  transparency
          of  supplemental  information  used by management in its financial and
          operational  decision-making.  Our  presentation  of certain  non-GAAP
          performance  measures  of  Deerfield  is not  intended  to replace the
          presentation of its financial results in accordance with GAAP.

     3.   Systemwide  same-store sales represent sales at all  company-owned and
          all  franchised  stores.  We believe  that  reviewing  the increase or
          decrease in systemwide  same-store sales compared with the same period
          in the prior year is useful to investors  in  analyzing  the growth of
          the Arby's brand and assessing trends in our restaurant operations.

     4.   We define gross margin as the difference between net sales and cost of
          sales divided by net sales.

     5.   The  description  of the RTM  acquisition  contained  herein is only a
          summary  and  is  qualified  in  its  entirety  by  reference  to  the
          definitive  agreements  relating to the  acquisition,  copies of which
          have been filed by us with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission as
          exhibits to our current and/or  periodic  filings under the Securities
          Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

     6.   There can be no assurance RTM will be successfully integrated into our
          existing operations.

     7.   There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify appropriate
          future  acquisition  targets  or that we will be able to  successfully
          integrate any future acquisitions into our existing operations.

     8.   The  statements in this press release that are not  historical  facts,
          including,  most  importantly,   information  concerning  possible  or
          assumed future results of operations of Triarc Companies, Inc. and its
          subsidiaries (collectively,  "Triarc" or the "Company") and statements
          preceded by, followed by, or that include the words "may," "believes,"
          "plans," "expects,"  "anticipates" or the negation thereof, or similar
          expressions,   constitute  "forward-looking   statements"  within  the
          meaning of the Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the
          "Reform Act").  All  statements  that address  operating  performance,
          events or  developments  that are expected or  anticipated to occur in
          the future,  including statements relating to revenue growth, earnings
          per share  growth or  statements  expressing  general  optimism  about
          future operating results,  are  forward-looking  statements within the
          meaning of the Reform Act. These forward-looking  statements are based
          on our current  expectations,  speak only as of the date of this press
          release and are  susceptible to a number of risks,  uncertainties  and
          other factors.  Our actual results,  performance and  achievements may
          differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements
          expressed  or implied by such  forward-looking  statements.  For those
          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 the  forward-looking
          statements contained herein. Such factors include, but are not limited
          to, the following:

     o    competition,  including  pricing pressures and the potential impact of
          competitors' new units on sales by Arby's(R) restaurants;

     o    consumers'  perceptions of the relative quality, variety and value of
          the food products the Company offers;

     o    success of operating initiatives;

     o    development costs;

     o    advertising and promotional efforts;

     o    brand awareness;

     o    the existence or absence of positive or adverse publicity;

     o    new  product  and   concept   development   by  the  Company  and  its
          competitors,  and market  acceptance of such new product offerings and
          concepts;

     o    changes  in  consumer  tastes  and  preferences,   including   changes
          resulting  from concerns over  nutritional  or safety aspects of beef,
          poultry,  french  fries or other  foods or the  effects of  food-borne
          illnesses such as "mad cow disease" and avian influenza or "bird flu";

     o    changes in spending patterns and demographic trends;

     o    the business and financial viability of key franchisees;

     o    the timely payment of franchisee obligations due to the Company;

     o    availability,  location and terms of sites for restaurant  development
          by the Company and its franchisees;

     o    the ability of the Company's  franchisees  to open new  restaurants in
          accordance with their development  commitments,  including the ability
          of franchisees to finance restaurant development;

     o    delays in opening new restaurants or completing remodels;

     o    anticipated or  unanticipated  restaurant  closures by the Company and
          its franchisees;

     o    the  Company's  ability to  identify,  attract  and  retain  potential
          franchisees  with  sufficient  experience  and financial  resources to
          develop and operate Arby's restaurants;

     o    changes in business strategy or development plans, and the willingness
          of the Company's franchisees to participate in its strategy;

     o    business  abilities and judgment of the Company's and its franchisees'
          management and other personnel;

     o    availability of qualified  restaurant  personnel to the Company and to
          its franchisees;

     o    the   Company's   ability,   if  necessary,   to  secure   alternative
          distribution  of supplies  of food,  equipment  and other  products to
          Arby's  restaurants at competitive rates and in adequate amounts,  and
          the  potential   financial   impact  of  any   interruptions  in  such
          distribution;

     o    changes in  commodity  (including  beef),  labor,  supplies  and other
          operating costs and availability and cost of insurance;

     o    adverse weather conditions;

     o    significant reductions in the Company's client assets under management
          (which would reduce the Company's  advisory fee revenue),  due to such
          factors  as weak  performance  of the  Company's  investment  products
          (either on an absolute  basis or relative to our  competitors or other

     (c)  The shares used to  calculate  diluted  loss per share are the same as
          those  used to  calculate  basic  loss per share for the 2004 and 2005
          second  quarters and the first six months of 2004 since there were net
          losses from continuing  operations and, therefore,  the effects of all
          potentially dilutive securities on the loss from continuing operations
          per share would have been  antidilutive.  Had the Company reported net
          income for the 2004 and 2005 second  quarters and the first six months
          of 2004,  the  shares  used to  calculate  diluted  income per Class A
          common share would have been  23,399,000,  24,961,000  and  22,590,000
          respectively, reflecting the effect of dilutive stock options and, for
          the 2005 second quarter,  contingently  issuable restricted stock. The
          shares used to calculate  diluted  income per Class B common share for
          those periods would have been  42,836,000,  44,874,000  and 43,283,000
          respectively,  also  reflecting  the effect of dilutive  stock options
          and, for the 2005 second  quarter,  contingently  issuable  restricted
          stock.  The  effects of dilutive  stock  options  represented  in such
          amounts  reflect the average price of the Company's  stock during that
          period. The effects of contingently  issuable restricted stock reflect
          the price of the Company's Class B common stock at July 3, 2005. These
          dilutive  effects may not be  representative  of the effects  that may
          occur in future periods.  Accordingly,  this  information is presented
          for informational purposes only. In addition to the effect of dilutive
          stock  options,  the  Company's  5%  Convertible  Notes are  currently
          convertible  into  4,375,000  shares of the  Company's  Class A common
          stock and 8,750,000 shares of the Company's Class B common stock. Such
          additional shares were not included in the diluted shares above due to
          the  substantial  income that would be required before the Convertible
          Notes became dilutive.
