progress integrating the business, and we remain highly encouraged by the brand's growth potential. We also improved system-wide
sales growth at BURGER KING® this year, driven by accelerated net restaurant growth and continued comparable sales momentum. At
TIM HORTONS®, we launched our mobile app and our espresso based beverage platform in Canada and

us, and we believe we have the right strategy in place to create further value for all of our stakeholders over the long

Note: System-wide sales growth and comparable sales are calculated on a
constant currency basis and include sales at franchise restaurants and company-owned restaurants. System-wide sales are
driven by sales at franchised restaurants, as approximately 100% of current restaurants are franchised. We do not record
franchise sales as revenues; however, our franchise revenues include royalties based on a percentage of franchise sales.
For 2016, PLK figures are shown for informational purposes only.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per
Share are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for further detail.
|
Total Revenues for the year and fourth quarter grew primarily as a result of the inclusion of our PLK segment, as well as
system-wide sales growth at both TH and BK. Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders for the year and fourth quarter grew
primarily as a result of one-time benefits related to the redemption of our preferred shares and a favorable tax impact
resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was enacted on December 22, 2017 (the "Tax Act"),
both of which are excluded from our Adjusted Net Income.
Combined Adjusted EBITDA (including a full period of Popeyes' results in both years) grew versus prior year, primarily driven
by an increase in revenue and effective cost management, at the following rates:
- Full Year 2017: 9.3% (8.3% excluding the impact of FX movements)
- Fourth Quarter 2017: 13.7% (10.8% excluding the impact of FX movements)

For the year and fourth quarter, system-wide sales growth was primarily driven by net restaurant growth of 6.1%, partially
offset by comparable sales of (1.5)% and (1.3)%, respectively. For the year and fourth quarter, comparable sales were primarily
driven by US comparable sales of (2.2)% and (2.5)%, respectively.
Cash and Liquidity
As of December 31, 2017, total debt was $12.3 billion, and net debt (total debt less cash
and cash equivalents of $1.1 billion) was $11.2 billion. During the
fourth quarter, we completed the redemption of our preferred shares, as well as the repurchase of 5 million partnership
exchangeable units for approximately $330 million, as previously announced. On February 12,
2018, RBI announced that its board of directors declared a dividend of $0.45 per common share and
partnership exchangeable unit of RBI LP for the first quarter of 2018. The dividend will be payable on April 2, 2018 to
shareholders and unitholders of record at the close of business on March 15, 2018. In connection with the declared dividend,
RBI also announced that it is targeting a total of $1.80 in dividends per common share and
partnership exchangeable unit of RBI LP for 2018.

We will host an investor conference call and webcast at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on Monday,

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains certain forward-looking statements and information, which reflect management's current beliefs
and expectations regarding future events and operating performance and speak only as of the date hereof. These forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking
statements include statements about our expectations regarding our progress integrating the POPEYES® business, as well
as the brand's growth potential; expectations regarding the continued growth prospects for each of our three iconic brands;
whether we have the right strategy in place to create further value for all of our stakeholders over the long run; our estimates
regarding our anticipated income tax rate for 2018 and other tax matters as a result of the recently-enacted U.S. tax
legislation; and our target total dividend for 2018. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from RBI's
expectations are detailed in filings of RBI with the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable Canadian securities
regulatory authorities, such as its annual and quarterly reports and current reports on Form 8-K, and include the following:
risks related to RBI's ability to successfully implement its domestic and international growth strategy; risks related to RBI's
ability to compete domestically and internationally in an intensely competitive industry; risks related to the complexity of
the new U.S. tax legislation and our ability to accurately interpret and predict its impact on our financial condition and
results; and risks related to our ability to generate sufficient liquidity to achieve our target total dividend for 2018 and
satisfy our debt service and other obligations. Other than as required under U.S. federal securities laws or Canadian securities
laws, we do not assume a duty to update these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, subsequent
events or circumstances, change in expectations or otherwise.

RESTAURANT BRANDS INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Key Operating Metrics
We evaluate our restaurants and assess our business based on the following operating metrics.
System-wide sales growth refers to the percentage change in sales at all franchise and company-owned restaurants in one period
from the same period in the prior year. Comparable sales refers to the percentage change in restaurant sales in one period from
the same prior year period for restaurants that have been open for thirteen months or longer for TH and BK and 65 weeks or longer
for PLK. System-wide sales growth and comparable sales are measured on a constant currency basis, which means that results
exclude the effect of foreign currency translation and are calculated by translating prior year results at current year monthly
average exchange rates. We analyze key operating metrics on a constant currency basis as this helps identify underlying business
trends, without distortion from the effects of currency movements.
System-wide sales represent sales at all franchise restaurants and company-owned restaurants. We do not record franchise sales
as revenues; however, our franchise revenues include royalties based on a percentage of franchise sales.
Net restaurant growth is presented on a percentage basis and reflects the net increase in restaurant count (openings, net of
closures) over a trailing twelve month period, divided by the restaurant count at the beginning of the trailing twelve month
period.
For 2017, PLK comparable sales, system-wide sales growth and system-wide sales are for the period from October 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 and from December 26, 2016 through December 31, 2017 for the three and twelve months ended
December 31, 2017, respectively. Comparable sales and system-wide sales growth are calculated using
the same period in the prior year (October 1, 2016 through December 31,
2016 and December 26, 2015 through December 31, 2016,
respectively). For 2017, PLK net restaurant growth is for the period from December 26, 2016 through
December 31, 2017. PLK restaurant count is as of December 31, 2017

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
Below, we define the non-GAAP financial measures, provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most
directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), and
discuss the reasons why we believe this information is useful to management and may be useful to investors. These measures do not
have standardized meanings under GAAP and may differ from similarly captioned measures of other companies in our industry.
Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, RBI reports the following non-GAAP
financial measures: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share ("Adjusted Diluted EPS"),
Combined Total Revenues, Combined Adjusted EBITDA, Organic revenue growth and Organic Adjusted EBITDA growth. We believe that
these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in assessing our operating performance, as it provides them with the same tools
that management uses to evaluate our performance and is responsive to questions we receive from both investors and
analysts. By disclosing these non-GAAP measures, we intend to provide investors with a consistent comparison of our
operating results and trends for the periods presented.
EBITDA is defined as earnings (net income or loss) before interest expense, net, (gain) loss on early extinguishment of debt,
income tax (benefit) expense, and depreciation and amortization and is used by management to measure operating performance of the
business.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding the non-cash impact of share-based compensation and non-cash incentive
compensation expense and (income) loss from equity method investments, net of cash distributions received from equity method
investments, as well as other operating expenses (income), net. Other specifically identified costs associated with non-recurring
projects are also excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, including PLK transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Popeyes,
corporate restructuring and tax advisory fees, and integration costs associated with the acquisition of Tim Hortons. Adjusted
EBITDA is used by management to measure operating performance of the business, excluding these non-cash and other specifically
identified items that management believes are not relevant to management's assessment of operating performance or the performance
of an acquired business. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, also represents our measure of segment income for each of our three
operating segments. PLK revenues and segment income from March 28, 2017 through December 31, 2017 are included in our consolidated statement of operations for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2017.
Combined Total Revenues and Combined Adjusted EBITDA include results of PLK prior to the acquisition.
Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income excluding (i) franchise agreement amortization, which is a non-cash expense
arising as a result of acquisition accounting that may hinder the comparability of our operating results to our industry peers,
(ii) amortization of deferred financing costs and debt issuance discount, a non-cash component of interest expense, and (gains)
losses on early extinguishment of debt, which are non-cash charges that vary by the timing, terms and size of debt financing
transactions, (iii) (income) loss from equity method investments, net of cash distributions received from equity method
investments, (iv) other operating expenses (income), net, and (v) other specifically identified costs associated with
non-recurring projects. Adjusted Net Income includes preferred share dividends.
Adjusted Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by the number of diluted shares of RBI during the reporting
period. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS are used by management to evaluate the operating performance of the
business, excluding certain non-cash and other specifically identified items that management believes are not relevant to
management's assessment of operating performance or the performance of an acquired business.
Revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA growth, on an organic basis, are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of FX movements.
Management believes that organic growth is an important metric for measuring the operating performance of our business as it
helps identify underlying business trends, without distortion from the effects of FX movements. We calculate the impact of FX
movements by translating current year results at prior year monthly average exchange rates. In addition, for organic growth
comparative purposes, we are presenting PLK pre- and post-combination results, including Popeyes' pre-combination Adjusted EBITDA
determined in accordance with RBI's methodology as reflected in the reconciliation table.

(a) RBI acquired Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, Inc. ("Popeyes") on March 27,
2017. Prior to its acquisition by RBI, Popeyes operated on a fiscal period basis consisting of a 16-week first fiscal
quarter and 12-week second through fourth fiscal quarters. Subsequent to its acquisition by RBI, Popeyes commenced
reporting on a calendar quarter basis consistent with RBI. Q4'17 and FY'17 for PLK represents the period from October 1,
2017 through December 31, 2017 and December 26, 2016 through December 31, 2017, respectively, while Q4'16 and FY'16 for
PLK represents the 12 weeks ended and 52 weeks ended December 25, 2016, respectively. Combined Total Revenues and
Combined Adjusted EBITDA include results of PLK prior to the acquisition. Consequently, PLK results for the prior year
period may not be comparable.

the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017, respectively. There was no impact to our results for the three and
twelve months ended December 31, 2016.
