Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains non-GAAP financial metrics, specifically RBI's outlook for Adjusted EBITDA for 2016. Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA for 2016 to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and complexity with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures and including the measures and effects of income taxes, which are extremely difficult to project as a result of our tax status in a number of foreign jurisdictions, and the finalization of share-based compensation and non-cash incentive compensation expense as these are subject to finalization of our financial results for the year. While we do not expect the variability of the above charges to have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results, there can be no assurance that they will not materially affect our GAAP numbers.
