&ndash; Arcos Dorados Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ARCO) (&ldquo;Arcos Dorados&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), Latin America&rsquo;s largest
restaurant chain and the world&rsquo;s largest independent McDonald&rsquo;s franchisee, today reported its systemwide comparable sales
growth for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023, ahead of its quarterly earnings announcement planned for March 2024.

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">&ldquo;We had a solid finish to a very
strong year. Our Three D&rsquo;s Strategy of Digital, Delivery and Drive-thru continues to evolve and leverages the Latin American quick
service restaurant industry&rsquo;s largest free-standing restaurant portfolio. Digital channels drove sales growth all year and represented
53% of Arcos Dorados&rsquo; systemwide sales in the fourth quarter. Our mobile app has evolved into an e-commerce platform. It allows
us to engage with guests to learn their consumption preferences and provide the most compelling value, experience and convenience in
the industry. The result was an increase in visit frequency and market share gains across our markets. Growth in Loyalty Program membership,
which exceeded three million members at the end of 2023, is just the latest indicator that guests are &lsquo;Lovin&rsquo; It&rsquo; when
it comes to the McDonald&rsquo;s experience in Latin America and the Caribbean,&rdquo; said Marcelo Rabach, Arcos Dorados&rsquo; Chief
Executive Officer.</FONT></P>

last year, remaining focused on free-standing unit openings. This continues to be a structural competitive advantage given the greater
adaptability of this restaurant format, compared with the competition&rsquo;s mostly mall-based restaurant portfolios. The openings pipeline
remains robust and we are increasing the number of annual openings to capture the full potential of the McDonald&rsquo;s Brand in our
region.&rdquo;</FONT></P>

sales grew solidly on top of very strong results in the prior year period. In Brazil, October sales faced a challenging comparison
but rebounded strongly in November and December with double-digit comparable sales growth. NOLAD saw strong results, especially in
Mexico and the French West Indies, partially offset by the impact of social unrest in Panama during the quarter. SLAD&rsquo;s
markets performed strongly in the quarter as well. Digital rose nearly 65% in constant currency, including around 50% higher
Delivery sales in the quarter. Identifiable sales were 21% of sales in the quarter with the Loyalty Program surpassing 3 million

growth of the appreciation or depreciation of the local currencies in which we conduct our business against the US dollar (the currency
in which our financial statements are prepared). (ii) Constant currency growth reflects the underlying growth of the business excluding
the effect from currency translation.</I></FONT></P>
