decreased due to lower same-restaurant sales in the U.S. segment, partially offset by contributions from net new restaurant openings and same-restaurant sales growth in the International segment. </P>

revenues resulted primarily from lower advertising funds revenue and lower franchise royalty revenue, partially offset by an increase in franchise fees. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The decrease in U.S. Company-operated restaurant margin was primarily due to commodity inflation, a decline in traffic, and labor rate
inflation, partially offset by an increase in average check and labor efficiencies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>General and Administrative Expense </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The decrease in general and administrative expense was primarily due to lower share-based compensation. </P>

operating profit was primarily due to a decrease in U.S. Company-operated restaurant margin, lower franchise royalty revenue, and higher impairment of long-lived assets. These were partially offset by a decrease in the Company&#8217;s funding of

in adjusted earnings per share was primarily driven by an increase in depreciation and cloud computing amortization expenses, a higher tax rate, and lower other income. These were partially offset by fewer shares outstanding as a result of the

<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 (&#8220;GAAP&#8221;), 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, and free cash flow. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company uses adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share as internal measures of business operating performance and as performance
measures for benchmarking against the Company&#8217;s peers and competitors. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by the Company in establishing performance goals for purposes of executive compensation. The Company believes its presentation of adjusted
revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share 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, and adjusted earnings per
share in evaluating issuers, and the presentation of these measures facilitates a comparative assessment of the Company&#8217;s operating performance in addition to the Company&#8217;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&#8217;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, (ii)&nbsp;expenditures related to the Company&#8217;s franchise development fund and (iii)&nbsp;the net change in the restricted operating assets and 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&#8217;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, and free cash flow are not recognized terms under GAAP, and the Company&#8217;s presentation of these <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures does not replace the presentation of the
Company&#8217;s financial results in accordance with GAAP. Because all companies do not calculate adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share, and free cash flow (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&#8217;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:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, this release includes forward-looking projections for certain
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share and free cash flow. The Company excludes certain expenses and benefits from adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share and
free cash flow, such as the impact from our advertising funds, including the net change in the restricted operating assets and liabilities and any excess or deficit of advertising fund revenues over advertising fund expenses, impairment of
long-lived assets, reorganization and realignment costs, system 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 and benefits, the Company is unable without unreasonable effort to provide projections of net income, earnings per share or net cash provided by operating activities, or a
reconciliation of those projected measures. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; 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&#8217;s restaurants. Sales by franchise
restaurants are not recorded as Company revenues and are not included in the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial statements. However, the Company&#8217;s royalty revenues are computed as percentages of sales made by Wendy&#8217;s franchisees and,
as a result, sales by franchisees have a direct effect on the Company&#8217;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 &#8220;General and administrative.&#8221; 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>
