Third Quarter Financial Highlights
Adjusted Revenues
The increase in adjusted revenues resulted primarily from an increase in sales at Company-operated restaurants which
were driven by an increase in the number of restaurants in operation and positive same-restaurant sales. Adjusted revenue
also benefited from an increase in franchise royalty revenue and fees which were primarily driven by new restaurant development
and lower franchise incentives.
Company-Operated Restaurant Margin
The decrease in Company-operated restaurant margin was primarily the result of labor rate inflation and higher
insurance costs, partially offset by pricing actions and lower commodity costs.
General & Administrative Expense
The decrease in general and administrative expense was primarily the result of a lower incentive compensation accrual
and lower employee compensation and related expenses as a result of the Company's G&A savings initiative.
Net Income
The increase in net income resulted primarily from the sale of our stake in Inspire Brands for $450 million (~$353 million, net of tax).
Adjusted EBITDA
The increase in adjusted EBITDA resulted primarily from a decrease in general & administrative expenses and
revenue growth, including net rental income.
Adjusted Earnings Per Share
The increase in adjusted earnings per share resulted primarily from the positive impact of a lower tax rate from net
excess tax benefits related to share-based payments and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 as well as an increase in adjusted
EBITDA.
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.
Board of Directors approves $120 million increase in share repurchase authorization; Company
now has $249 million remaining for share repurchases
The Board of Directors approved an increase of $120 million to the share repurchase
authorization of $100 million from August 2018 when the Company
announced the sale of its stake in Inspire Brands. This authorization now totals $220 million
and expires on December 27, 2019.
Through October 30, 2018, the Company repurchased 8.5 million shares for $146.2 million at an average price of $17.21 per share under its February 2018 share repurchase authorization. With the increase, the Company now has approximately $249 million remaining on its share repurchase authorizations. Please see below for a summary of our

New Restaurant Development
In the third quarter of 2018, the Company had 37 global restaurant openings, and an increase of 13 net new
units. The Company continues to expect 2018 global net new unit growth of approximately 1.5 percent, comprised of
approximately 1 percent growth in North America and 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 third quarter, 48 percent of the global system was image activated. This
compares to 43 percent image activated at the end of 2017. The Company expects approximately 50 percent of the global system to
be image activated by the end of 2018.
Company Restaurant Acquisition
In the third quarter of 2018, the Company acquired 16 restaurants in the Columbus,
Ohio market for approximately $21.4 million as part of its ongoing system optimization
strategy where it will buy and sell restaurants in an effort to optimize the system. The Company continues to expect its
Company-operated restaurant ownership to be approximately 5 percent of the total system.
Franchise Flips
In the third quarter of 2018, the Company facilitated 9 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 now expects that approximately 130 Franchise Flips will be completed in 2018.
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. Aspects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 could 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.
During 2018, the Company now expects:
- North America same-restaurant sales growth of approximately 1.0 percent.
- Company-operated restaurant margin of approximately 16.0 to 16.5 percent.
- General and administrative expense of approximately $190 to $195
million.
- Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $415 to $420 million, an
increase of approximately 6 to 8 percent compared to recast 2017 results.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 33 percent.
- Depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $128 million.
- Adjusted tax rate of approximately 18 to 20 percent.
- Adjusted earnings per share of approximately $0.56 to $0.58, an
increase of approximately 44 to 49 percent compared to recast 2017 results.
- Cash flows from operations of approximately $295 to $310
million.
- Capital expenditures of approximately $70 to $75 million.
- Free cash flow of approximately $225 to $235 million, an
increase of approximately 34 to 38 percent compared to 2017.
In addition, the Company continues to expect:
- Commodity inflation of approximately 1 to 2 percent.
- Labor inflation of approximately 3 to 4 percent.
- Interest expense of approximately $120 million.

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"). 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 share repurchase programs 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 disclosure and 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.
