Higher sales reflected contributions from new stores totaling $26.4 million and $14.3 million in sales for a 53rd week in 2004. The average check rose 1.0% in 2004 but was more than offset by a decline in transactions of 1.2%, due in part to a relative lack of new product offerings in 2004. COST OF OPERATIONS, EXCLUDING DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION RTM's cost of operations, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $43.6 million, or 8%, in 2004 to $602.5 million reflecting a restaurant margin of 18.6%, from $558.9 million in 2003, reflecting a restaurant margin of 21.0%. Approximately $11.6 million of the increase in cost of operations was attributable to the 53rd week in 2004. Food and paper costs rose from 26.5% of net sales in 2003 to 28.2% of net sales in 2004 primary due to a 24% increase in beef costs, the largest component of menu offerings RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED MAY 25, 2003 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED MAY 26, 2002 NET SALES RTM net sales increased $23.5 million or 3% to $707.9 million in 2003 from $684.4 million for 2002. Higher sales reflect contributions from new restaurant units totaling $27.7 million and a 0.2% increase in same-store sales, which contributed a total of $1.3 million. The 0.2% increase in same-store sales reflected an increase in average check, which was offset by a decline in transactions. Higher same-store sales and contributions from new restaurant units were partially offset by the impact of closing underperforming stores ($5.5 million). COST OF OPERATIONS, EXCLUDING DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION RTM's cost of operations, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $15.9 million, or 3%, to $558.9 million in 2003, resulting in a restaurant margin of 21.0%, from $543.0 million and a restaurant margin of 20.7% for the same period in 2002. Cost of operations, excluding depreciation and amortization, improved slightly in 2003 to 79.0% from 79.3% in 2002 as improvements in food and paper costs were offset by higher payroll, employee benefit, occupancy and other operating expenses. Food and paper costs improved from 27.9% of net sales in 2002 to 26.5% of net sales in 2003 primarily due to a 10% reduction in beef costs, the largest component of menu offerings. 11 RTM SUMMARY HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) FISCAL YEAR ENDED ------------------------------------------------- TWELVE MONTHS ENDED MAY 26, MAY 25, MAY 30, MARCH 6, ($ in millions) 2002 2003 2005 2005 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- INCOME STATEMENT Revenues $684.4 $707.9 $740.0 $795.5 Cost of Sales 506.8 517.4 558.3 598.0 ============== ============== ============== ============== Gross Profit $177.6 $190.5 $181.7 $197.5 EBITDAR (1) 96.2 102.3 101.9 113.2 Rent 38.5 39.8 42.2 44.6 EBITDA (1) $ 57.7 $ 62.5 $ 59.7 $ 68.6 Depreciation & Amortization 27.6 24.4 24.9 28.4 ============== ============== ============== ============== EBIT (1) $ 30.1 $ 38.1 $ 34.8 $ 40.2 Net Interest Expense 30.8 32.9 34.3 35.7 Net Income (2) (2.9) 1.3 0.9 2.3 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- EBITDA $ 57.7 $ 62.5 $ 59.7 $ 68.6 Less: Interest Expense (30.8) (32.9) (34.3) (35.7) Less: Taxes (2.3) (4.6) (0.8) (2.3) Plus: Deferred Tax Provision (0.9) 0.2 0.4 (0.6) Plus: (Increase) / Decrease in Net Working Capital (4.3) (2.0) 7.3 (1.8) -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- Operating Cash Flow $ 19.3 $ 23.1 $ 32.4 $ 28.3 Less: Capital Expenditures (5.5) (12.0) (25.5) (23.0) -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- Free Cash Flow $ 13.8 $ 11.2 $ 6.9 $ 5.3 ============== ============== ============== ============== Note: Financial information derived from unaudited financial statements Cost of sales excludes rent.

The adjustments to the pro forma financial statements give effect to the acquisition of RTM and the related refinancing. The adjustments include amounts added or deducted as the case may be, to remove the effects of unusual items and to give effect for cost synergies between the two companies, and as such, are not intended to comply with Regulation S-X: Rule 11-01. The RTM financial information reflected in this pro forma financial information represents statements of income for the twelve months ended March 6, 2005. That date and period were used because they are the most comparable period of RTM's fiscal calendar to that of ARG's fiscal calendar. The combined financial information of RTM for the twelve months ended March 6, 2005 was derived from unaudited combined financial statements as furnished on Forms 8-K dated June 28, 2005. The allocation of the purchase price of RTM and the effect of the pro forma adjustments for such allocation are based on preliminary estimates and are subject to revision and could differ materially from the final purchase price allocation. The pro forma financial information has been prepared as if the acquisition of RTM and the refinancing had occurred as of April 4, 2004, the first day of the twelve months ended April 3, 2005. The pro forma adjustments are described in the notes to the pro forma financial statements which should be read in conjunction with those statements. The pro forma financial statements should also be read in conjunction with ARG's audited financial statements and ARG's and RTM's unaudited financial statements, as furnished on Forms 8-K dated June 28, 2005. The pro forma financial information does not purport to reflect our actual results of operations had the transactions noted above actually occurred on April 3, 2005 or of our future results of operations. 14 UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED April 3, 2005 HISTORICAL NORMALIZED ADJUSTMENTS ARG/RTM NORMALIZING COMBINED ARG/RTM FOR THE (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) COMBINED ADJUSTMENTS SYNERGIES WITH SYNERGIES RTM TRANSACTION PRO FORMA - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- ----------- INCOME STATEMENT Royalties & Franchise and Related Fees $ 72.3 $ (1.3) $ -- $ 71.0 $ -- $ 71.0 Restaurant Sales 1,005.6 (18.3) -- 987.3 -- 987.3 --------- --------- ------- --------- ------- --------- Total Revenues 1,077.9 (19.6) -- 1,058.3 -- 1,058.3 Cost of Sales 726.8 (15.5) -- 711.3 (1.1) 710.2 --------- --------- ------- --------- ------- --------- Gross Profit 351.1 (4.1) -- 347.0 1.1 348.1 EBITDAR 206.1 19.6 9.0 234.7 -- 234.7 Rent 60.6 -- -- 60.6 (1.1) 59.5 EBITDA (1) 145.5 19.6 9.0 174.1 1.1 175.2 Depreciation & Amortization 37.3 -- -- 37.3 4.7 42.0 --------- --------- ------- --------- ------- --------- EBIT 108.2 19.6 9.0 136.8 (3.6) 133.2 Interest Expense 63.0 -- -- 63.0 (8.0) 54.9 Income from continuing operations $ 22.7 $ 14.7 $ 5.5 $ 42.9 $ 2.3 $ 45.2 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adjusted EBITDA $ 149.8 $ 20.3 $ 9.0 $ 179.1 $ 1.1 $ 180.2 Less: Cash Interest (61.2) -- -- (61.2) 9.6 (51.6) Less: Cash Taxes (2) (5.4) (5.7) (2.1) (13.3) (0.9) (14.2) Plus: (Increase) / Decrease in Net Working Capital (3) 3.1 -- -- 3.1 -- 3.1 --------- --------- ------- --------- ------- --------- Operating Cash Flow 86.2 14.6 6.9 107.6 9.8 117.5 Less: Capital Expenditures (36.8) -- -- (36.8) -- (36.8) --------- --------- ------- --------- ------- --------- Free Cash Flow $ 49.4 $ 14.6 $ 6.9 $ 70.9 $ 9.8 $ 80.7 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EBITDA, as calculated $ 145.5 $ 19.6 $ 9.0 $ 174.1 $ 1.1 $ 175.2 Triarc Management Fee 4.3 0.7 -- 5.0 -- 5.0 --------- --------- ------- --------- ------- --------- Adjusted EBITDA $ 149.8 $ 20.3 $ 9.0 $ 179.1 $ 1.1 $ 180.2 ========= ========= ======= ========= ======= ========= (1) EBITDA includes the addback of $4.5 million related to the impairment of long-lived assets.
