basis points on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-year</FONT> basis versus the previous quarter. This was driven in part by high-single digit year-over-year U.S. breakfast sales growth and global digital sales mix of nearly 17%. This
performance supported a 60 basis point expansion in U.S. Company-operated restaurant margin versus the prior year, illustrating the benefits of these profitable initiatives. We remain focused on executing against our plans and investments through a
customer-centric approach, supporting our ability to drive long-term shareholder value.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>First Quarter 2024 Summary </B></P>

optimization gains, net, amortization of cloud computing arrangements, gain on early extinguishment of debt, net, and the timing and resolution of certain tax matters. Due to the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of those expenses

&#147;goal,&#148; &#147;upcoming,&#148; &#147;outlook,&#148; &#147;guidance&#148; or the negation thereof, or similar expressions. In addition, all statements that address future operating, financial or business performance, strategies or
initiatives, future efficiencies or savings, anticipated costs or charges, future capitalization, anticipated impacts of recent or pending investments or transactions and statements expressing general views about future results or brand health are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act. Forward-looking statements are based on the Company&#146;s expectations at the time such statements are made, speak only as of the dates they are made and are susceptible to a number
of risks, uncertainties and other factors. For all such forward-looking statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Reform Act. The Company&#146;s actual results, performance and
achievements may differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the Company&#146;s forward-looking statements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Many important factors could affect the Company&#146;s future results and cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the

ability to execute its international growth strategy; (15)&nbsp;changes in commodity and other operating costs; (16)&nbsp;shortages or interruptions in the supply or distribution of the Company&#146;s products and other risks associated with the
Company&#146;s independent supply chain purchasing <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">co-op;</FONT> (17)&nbsp;the impact of increased labor costs or labor shortages; (18)&nbsp;the continued succession and retention of key personnel and the

consumer preferences; (20)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s dependence on computer systems and information technology, including risks associated with the failure or interruption of its systems or technology or the occurrence of cyber incidents or
deficiencies; (21)&nbsp;risks associated with the Company&#146;s securitized financing facility and other debt agreements, including compliance with operational and financial covenants, restrictions on its ability to raise additional capital, the

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to the factors described above, there are risks associated with the Company&#146;s predominantly
franchised business model that could impact its results, performance and achievements. Such risks include the Company&#146;s ability to identify, attract and retain experienced and qualified franchisees, the Company&#146;s ability to effectively
manage the transfer of restaurants between and among franchisees, the business and financial health of franchisees, the ability of franchisees to meet their royalty, advertising, development, reimaging and other commitments, participation by
franchisees in brand strategies and the fact that franchisees are independent third parties that own, operate and are responsible for overseeing the operations of their restaurants. The Company&#146;s predominantly franchised business model may also
impact the ability of the Wendy&#146;s system to effectively respond and adapt to market changes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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 factors that the Company
currently deems immaterial may become material, and it is impossible for the Company to predict these events or how they may affect the Company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this release as a result of new information, future events or developments, except as required by federal securities laws, although the Company may do so from
time to time. The Company does not endorse any projections regarding future performance that may be made by third parties. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There can be no assurance that
any additional regular quarterly cash dividends will be declared or paid after the date hereof, or of the amount or timing of such dividends, if any. Future dividend payments, if any, are subject to applicable law, will be made at the discretion of
the Board of Directors and will be based on factors such as the Company&#146;s earnings, financial condition and cash requirements and other factors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Disclosure Regarding <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-GAAP</FONT> Financial Measures </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to the financial measures presented in this release in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (&#147;GAAP&#148;), the
Company has included certain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures in this release, including adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share, free cash flow and systemwide sales. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company uses adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share and systemwide sales as internal measures of business operating performance
and as performance measures for benchmarking against the Company&#146;s peers and competitors. Adjusted EBITDA and systemwide sales 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 earnings per share 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 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> 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 earnings per share and systemwide sales in evaluating issuers, and the presentation of these measures facilitates a comparative assessment of the Company&#146;s operating performance in addition to the
Company&#146;s performance based on GAAP results. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This release also includes disclosure regarding the Company&#146;s free cash flow. Free cash flow is a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measure that is used by the Company as an internal measure of liquidity. Free cash flow is also used by the Company in establishing performance goals for purposes of executive compensation. The
Company defines free cash flow as cash flows from operations minus (i)&nbsp;capital expenditures and (ii)&nbsp;the net change in the restricted operating assets and </P>

liabilities of the advertising funds and any excess/deficit of advertising funds revenue over advertising funds expense included in net income, as reported under GAAP. The impact of our
advertising funds is excluded because the funds are used solely for advertising and are not available for the Company&#146;s working capital needs. The Company may also make additional adjustments for certain
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-recurring</FONT> or unusual items to the extent identified in the reconciliation tables that accompany this release. 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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share, free cash flow and systemwide sales are not recognized terms under GAAP, and the
Company&#146;s presentation of these <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures does not replace the presentation of the Company&#146;s financial results in accordance with GAAP. Because all companies do not calculate
adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share, free cash flow 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 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures included in this release should not be construed as substitutes for or better indicators of the Company&#146;s performance than the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures. See the reconciliation tables that accompany this release for additional information regarding certain of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures included herein. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Key Business Measures </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company tracks its results of
operations and manages its business using certain key business measures, including same-restaurant sales, systemwide sales and Company-operated restaurant margin, which are measures commonly used in the quick-service restaurant industry that are
important to understanding Company performance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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. Restaurants temporarily closed for more than one fiscal week are
excluded from same-restaurant sales. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Franchise restaurant sales are reported by our franchisees and represent their revenues from sales at franchised
Wendy&#146;s restaurants. Sales by franchise restaurants are not recorded as Company revenues and are not included in the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements. However, the Company&#146;s royalty revenues are computed as percentages of
sales made by Wendy&#146;s franchisees and, as a result, sales by franchisees have a direct effect on the Company&#146;s royalty revenues and profitability. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Same-restaurant sales and systemwide sales exclude sales from Argentina due to the highly inflationary economy of that country. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company calculates same-restaurant sales and systemwide sales growth on a constant currency basis. Constant currency results exclude the impact of foreign
currency translation and are derived by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. The Company believes excluding the impact of foreign currency translation provides better year over year comparability. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">U.S. Company-operated restaurant margin is defined as sales from U.S. Company-operated restaurants less cost of sales divided by sales from U.S.
Company-operated restaurants. Cost of sales includes food and paper, restaurant labor and occupancy, advertising and other operating costs. Cost of sales excludes certain costs that support restaurant operations that are not allocated to individual
restaurants, which are included in &#147;General and administrative.&#148; Cost of sales also excludes depreciation and amortization expense and impairment of long-lived assets. Therefore, as restaurant margin as presented excludes certain costs as
described above, its usefulness may be limited and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry. </P>
