___________________________________
(a)    Segment expenses exclude Depreciation and amortization, Stock-based compensation expense, and certain general and administrative expenses and other items that do not reflect normal, recurring expenses necessary to operate our business (see reconciliation that follows).
(b)    The Company prospectively adjusted for updates in internal cost allocation methodologies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2024, which increased the amount of internal general and administrative expenses allocated to the segments from Unallocated corporate expenses. These methodology updates have been reflected in the 2024 quarterly results. Refer to Note 23 of the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2024 for additional information.
(c)    Other Segment Expenses represent all operating expenses that are not included in the significant segment expense categories. The components of Other Segment Expense are advertising fund expenses and other operating expenses.
(d)    We have included “COS - Other” as a significant expense category beginning in the first quarter of 2025, consistent with the segment expense categories regularly provided to the CODM when evaluating segment performance and allocating resources. “COS - Other” includes delivery expenses, Company-owned restaurant advertising costs, insurance, rent, aggregator fees, and other costs of sales. For comparability purposes, we have recast quarterly 2024 segment results to include this expense category.

(a)    As noted in the commentary above, All Other revenue and adjusted EBITDA is derived from business units that do not meet the quantitative or qualitative thresholds for determining reportable segments, including: franchise contributions to marketing funds and information systems and related services used in restaurant operations.
(b)    Unallocated corporate expenses represent administrative fees incurred by the restaurant support centers, including: information systems and related services, corporate salaries and bonuses, and other corporate costs. These expenses are adjusted for depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and certain general and administrative expenses and other items that do not reflect normal, recurring expenses necessary to operate our business (see reconciliation that follows).
(c)    Other income/(expense) adjustments represent Depreciation and amortization, Stock-based compensation expense, and certain general and administrative expenses and other items that do not reflect normal, recurring expenses necessary to operate our business. As such, management excludes these items from the evaluation of adjusted EBITDA. For the periods above, the adjustments include:
