Second Quarter Financial Highlights
Adjusted Revenues
The increase in adjusted revenues resulted primarily from positive same-restaurant sales at Company-operated and Franchise-operated restaurants which led to increased sales and franchise royalties, respectively, and increased rental revenue related to Franchise Flips completed in 2017.
Company-Operated Restaurant Margin
The decrease in Company-operated restaurant margin was primarily the result of labor rate inflation, commodity costs, and higher insurance costs, partially offset by pricing actions.
General & Administrative Expense
The decrease in general and administrative expense was primarily the result of lower professional fees and lower employee compensation and related expenses as a result of the Company's G&A savings initiative.
Operating Profit
The increase in operating profit resulted primarily from the system optimization pre-tax losses of $43.1 million dollars related to the DavCo-NPC transaction in the second quarter of 2017 and prior year reorganization and realignment costs related to the Company's G&A savings initiative.
Net Income
The increase in net income resulted primarily from the system optimization losses related to the DavCo-NPC transaction in the second quarter of 2017 and prior year reorganization and realignment costs related to the Company's G&A savings initiative.
Adjusted EBITDA
The increase in adjusted EBITDA resulted primarily from revenue growth, including net rental income, partially offset by a decrease in Company-operated restaurant margin.
Adjusted Earnings Per Share
The increase in adjusted earnings per share resulted primarily from the positive impact of a lower tax rate from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense.
Year-to-Date Free Cash Flow
The increase in free cash flow resulted from an increase in cash flows from operations and a decrease in capital expenditures. The increase in cash flows from operations resulted primarily from a favorable change in working capital.
New Restaurant Development
In the second quarter of 2018 the Company had 36 global restaurant openings, and an increase of 23 net new units. The Company now expects 2018 global net new unit growth of approximately 1.5 percent. We continue to expect approximately 1 percent growth in North America but now expect approximately 10 percent growth in International.
Image Activation
Image Activation, which includes reimaging existing restaurants and building new restaurants, remains an integral part of our global growth strategy. At the end of the second quarter, 46 percent of the global system was image activated. This compares to 43 percent image activated at the end of 2017. The Company continues to expect approximately 10 percent of the global system to be image activated on an annual basis through 2020.
Franchise Flips
In the second quarter of 2018, the Company facilitated 64 Franchise Flips. The Company will continue to facilitate Franchise Flips to ensure that restaurants are operated by well-capitalized franchisees that are committed to long-term growth. The Company continues to expect that approximately 200 Franchise Flips will be completed in 2018.
Company repurchases 2.7 million shares for $45.7 million in the second quarter
The Company repurchased 2.7 million shares for $45.7 million in the second quarter at an average price of $17.03 per share. As of the end of the quarter, the Company had approximately $112.5 million remaining on its existing share repurchase authorization of $175 million, which expires on March 3, 2019.
2018 outlook
This release includes forward-looking guidance for certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share, free cash flow and adjusted tax rate. The Company excludes certain expenses and benefits from adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share, free cash flow and adjusted tax rate, such as national advertising funds' revenues and expenses, impairment of long-lived assets, reorganization and realignment costs, system optimization (gains) losses, net and timing and resolution of certain tax matters. Due to the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of those expenses and benefits, the Company is unable without unreasonable effort to provide projections of net income, earnings per share, free cash flow or reported tax rate or a reconciliation of those projected measures.
The amounts shown below reflect the impact of the new revenue recognition accounting standard, certain other income statement reclassifications and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The Company continues to expect aspects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 to be clarified in the future, which could affect elements of the 2018 outlook. For more information regarding the changes related to the new revenue recognition accounting standard and other income statement reclassifications that were made to our prior year financial statements, please reference the publicly available presentation in the supplemental financial information located in the Investors section of the Company's website at www.wendys.com/investor-relations.
The Company continues to expect:
- North America same-restaurant sales growth of approximately 2.0 to 2.5 percent.
- Commodity inflation of approximately 1 to 2 percent.
- Labor inflation of approximately 3 to 4 percent.
- Company-operated restaurant margin of approximately 17 to 18 percent.
- General and administrative expense of approximately $195 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $420 to $430 million, an increase of approximately 8 to 10 percent compared to recast 2017 results.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 33 to 34 percent.
- Interest expense of approximately $120 million.
- Depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $130 million.
- Adjusted tax rate of approximately 21 to 23 percent.
- Adjusted earnings per share of approximately $0.55 to $0.57, an increase of approximately 41 to 46 percent compared to recast 2017 results.
- Cash flows from operations of approximately $295 to $320 million.
- Capital expenditures of approximately $75 to $80 million.
- Free cash flow of approximately $220 to $240 million, an increase of approximately 29 to 41 percent compared to 2017.
Company on track to achieve 2020 goals
The Company continues to expect to achieve the following goals by the end of 2020:
- Global systemwide sales (in constant currency and excluding Venezuela) of ~$12 billion.
- Global restaurant count of ~7,250.
- Global Image Activation of at least 70 percent.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin of 37 to 39 percent.

Forward-looking statements
This news release contains certain statements that are not historical facts, including, most importantly, information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of The Wendy's Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") and the Company's stated 2020 goals. Those statements, as well as 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"). In addition, all statements that address future operating, financial or business performance; strategies, initiatives or expectations; future synergies, efficiencies or overhead savings; anticipated costs or charges; future capitalization; and anticipated financial impacts of recent or pending transactions are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act. The forward-looking statements are based on the Company's expectations at the time, speak only as of the dates they are made and are susceptible to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors. The Company's actual results, performance and achievements may differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. For all forward-looking statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Reform Act. Many important factors could affect future results and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately, and many of which are beyond the Company's control, include, but are not limited to:
- changes in the quick-service restaurant industry, such as consumer trends toward value-oriented products and promotions or toward consuming fewer meals away from home;
- prevailing economic, market and business conditions affecting the Company, including competition from other food service providers, unemployment and decreased consumer spending levels;
- the ability to effectively manage the acquisition and disposition of restaurants;
- cost and availability of capital;
- cost fluctuations associated with food, supplies, energy, fuel, distribution or labor;
- the financial condition of the Company's franchisees;
- food safety events, including instances of food-borne illness involving the Company or its supply chain;
- conditions beyond the Company's control such as weather, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics impacting the Company's customers or food supplies, or acts of war or terrorism;
- risks associated with failures, interruptions or security breaches of the Company's computer systems or technology, or the occurrence of cyber incidents or a deficiency in cyber security that impacts the Company or its franchisees, including the cybersecurity incident previously announced;
- the effects of negative publicity that can occur from increased use of social media;
- the availability of suitable locations and terms for the development of new restaurants;
- risks associated with the Image Activation program;
- adoption of new, or changes in, laws, regulations or accounting standards (including the new guidance on leases that will become effective for fiscal 2019), policies and practices;
- changes in debt, equity and securities markets;
- goodwill and long-lived asset impairments;
- changes in interest rates;
- the difficulty in predicting the ultimate costs that will be incurred in connection with the Company's plan to reduce its general and administrative expense, and the future impact on the Company's earnings;
- risks associated with the Company's debt refinancing, including the ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet increased debt service obligations, compliance with operational and financial covenants, and restrictions on the Company's ability to raise additional capital;
- risks associated with the amount and timing of share repurchases under the $175 million share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors; and
- other factors cited in the Company's news releases, public statements and/or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those identified in the "Risk Factors" sections of the Company's Forms 10-K and 10-Q.
The Company's franchisees are independent third parties that the Company does not control. Numerous factors beyond the control of the Company and its franchisees may affect new restaurant openings. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that commitments under development agreements with franchisees will result in new restaurant openings. In addition, numerous factors beyond the control of the Company and its franchisees may affect franchisees' ability to reimage existing restaurants in accordance with the Company's expectations.
All future written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to above. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for the Company to predict these events or their impact.
The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or developments, except as required by federal securities laws. The Company does not endorse any projections regarding future performance that may be made by third parties.
Disclosure regarding non-GAAP financial measures
In addition to the GAAP financial measures presented in this release, the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted tax rate and systemwide sales. Adjusted revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted tax rate exclude certain expenses and benefits as detailed in the reconciliation tables that accompany this release. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures as internal measures of business operating performance and as performance measures for benchmarking against the Company's peers and competitors. Adjusted EBITDA, systemwide sales and free cash flow are also used by the Company in establishing performance goals for purposes of executive compensation.
The Company believes its presentation of adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted tax rate and systemwide sales provides a meaningful perspective of the underlying operating performance of our current business and enables investors to better understand and evaluate our historical and prospective operating performance. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important supplemental measures of operating performance because they eliminate items that vary from period to period without correlation to our core operating performance and highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. Due to the nature and/or size of the items being excluded, such items do not reflect future gains, losses, expenses or benefits and are not indicative of our future operating performance. The Company believes investors, analysts and other interested parties use adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted tax rate and systemwide sales in evaluating issuers, and the presentation of these measures facilitates a comparative assessment of the Company's operating performance in addition to the Company's performance based on GAAP results.
This release also includes guidance regarding the Company's free cash flow. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used by the Company as an internal measure of liquidity. As a result of the adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting standard in the first quarter of 2018, the Company now defines free cash flow as cash flows from operations minus capital expenditures and advertising funds restricted assets and liabilities, as reported under GAAP. Advertising funds restricted assets and liabilities are excluded because they are not available for the Company's working capital needs. The Company believes free cash flow is an important liquidity measure for investors and other interested persons because it communicates how much cash flow is available for working capital needs or to be used for repurchasing shares, paying dividends, repaying or refinancing debt, financing possible acquisitions or investments or other uses of cash.
Adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted tax rate, free cash flow and systemwide sales are not recognized terms under U.S. General Accepted Accounting Principles, and the Company's presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures does not replace the presentation of the Company's financial results in accordance with GAAP. Because all companies do not calculate adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted earnings per share, free cash flow, adjusted tax rate, and systemwide sales (and similarly titled financial measures) in the same way, those measures as used by other companies may not be consistent with the way the Company calculates such measures. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this release should not be construed as substitutes for or better indicators of the Company's performance than the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Key business measures
The Company tracks its results of operations and manages its business using certain key business measures, including same-restaurant sales and systemwide sales, which are measures commonly used in the quick-service restaurant industry that are important to understanding Company performance. Same-restaurant sales and systemwide sales each include sales by both Company-operated and franchise restaurants. The Company reports same-restaurant sales for new restaurants after they have been open for 15 continuous months and for reimaged restaurants as soon as they reopen.
Sales by franchise restaurants are not recorded as Company revenues and are not included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. However, the Company's royalty revenues are computed as percentages of sales made by Wendy's franchisees and, as a result, sales by franchisees have a direct effect on the Company's royalty revenues and therefore on the Company's profitability.

2017 reconciliation of net (loss) income and diluted (loss) earnings per share to adjusted income and adjusted earnings per share does not reflect adjustments for the implementation of the new revenue recognition standard as the Company applied the modified retrospective method upon adoption. |
|
(b) |
Adjusted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2017 includes the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted shares, which were excluded from the reported number of shares used to calculate diluted loss per share, as the impact would have been anti-dilutive. Included above is a reconciliation of the number of shares used to calculate adjusted earnings per share amounts. |

The provision for (benefit from) income taxes on "System optimization (gains) losses, net" was $102 and $(13,013) for the three months ended July 1, 2018 and July 2, 2017, respectively, and $(46) and ($12,606) for the six months ended July 1, 2018 and July 2, 2017, respectively. The benefit from income taxes on all other adjustments was calculated using an effective tax rate of 25.52% and 38.94% for the three months ended July 1, 2018 and July 2, 2017, respectively, and 25.88% and 38.92% for the six months ended July 1, 2018 and July 2, 2017, respectively. |

(b) |
Adjusted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2017 includes the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted shares, which were excluded from the reported number of shares used to calculate diluted loss per share, as the impact would have been anti-dilutive. Included above is a reconciliation of the number of shares used to calculate adjusted earnings per share amounts. |
