Interim Report December 2021Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited

Total Group sales for the six

months to 30 June 2021 (1H

2021) were $540.6 million, up

$157.2 million on the previous

half year (1H 2020). This is the

result of the inclusion of the

California business in 2021

and the adverse impact of

COVID-19 in 2020.

Net Profit after Tax for

1H 2021 was $34.5 million

(27.66 cents per share), up

$23.3 million on 1H 2020.

The current result includes

recognition of $11.4 million

of loan forgiveness under

the US Paycheck Protection

Program (PPP).

Brand EBITDA before G&A

was up $26.5 million to $89.9

million, of which $12.7 million

came from the inclusion of

a maiden profit from the

new California division. The

comparison was enhanced by

the effect of COVID-19 store

closures in New Zealand in

the 1H 2020 result*.

Directors are pleased to report that Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited (RBD) has earned a Group

Net Profit after Tax (NPAT) of $34.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021 (1H 2021). This is up

$23.3 million on the last half-year’s reported result. Although the company continues to face challenges

from COVID-19 the operating results have remained strong across all divisions.

The result includes $77.3 million in sales and $12.7 million of brand EBITDA from the newly acquired

California division. This, combined with the adverse effect of COVID-19 on the 1H 2020 results,

compromises the opportunity for direct comparisons between the two half years’ reported results.

Comparisons at a reported profit level are further distorted by the recognition of $11.4 million ($US8.1

million) in relation to the PPP loan drawn down last year at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic,

that was forgiven during the period.

After adjusting for the PPP loan, the underlying NPAT would be $23.1 million, up $11.9 million.

This increase is due to rolling over the adverse effect of COVID-19 on the 1H 2020 results, the addition

of the new Californian business and the strong trading results in the current year.

Total store sales hit a new high of $540.6 million, up $157.2 million or 41.0% on 1H 2020, thanks to

the inclusion of $77.3 million in sales from the California business (acquired in September 2020).

Very strong same store sales growth from the other divisions also contributed.

Combined brand EBITDA at $89.9 million was up $26.5 million (41.7 %) on 1H 2020*, with the increase

arising from strong sales growth in the current year, a $12.7 million contribution from the California

division and the COVID-19 impact on the prior year’s results.

Restaurant Brands’ store numbers now total 350, up 60 on the 1H 2020 – again largely due to the

inclusion of 69 stores in California. This is partly offset, however, by the sale of New Zealand Pizza Hut

stores to independent franchisees. There are now 132 RBD-owned stores in New Zealand, 73 in Hawaii,

69 in California and 76 stores in Australia.

New Zealand operations

New Zealand store sales were $239.3 million, up $64.7 million or 37.0% on 1H 2020. Particularly strong

sales in KFC and Carl’s Jr. made an impact here, as well as rolling the five week COVID-19 lockdown in

1H 2020 (an estimated $40.0 million in lost sales). Same store sales were up a healthy 12.5%.

EBITDA was $43.1 million, a $9.5 million or 28.3% increase on 1H 2020 as a result of the strong store

sales performance and rolling the five week store closure in the June 2020 result*. EBITDA margin at

18.0% was slightly softer on prior year with some cost pressures and the mix of less profitable Taco Bell

brand sales as this business continues to build.

The result has been led by another strong performance from KFC combined with Carl’s Jr. where sales

continue to grow through both the delivery and store channels. At this stage, Taco Bell contributes only

a small proportion of the New Zealand business sales with the five stores opened to date continuing to

track in line with expectations.

Operating profit for the NZ division (excluding the effect of NZ IFRS 16) was $28.7 million (up 68.5%).

The Pizza Hut sub-franchising process continued with seven stores sold to independent franchise

operators and two new stores opened by independent franchisees over the first half year taking the

total number of stores in the wider Pizza Hut network to 105. The effect of these franchisee store sales

on total RBD-owned store numbers was offset by one new KFC store opening in Takanini, Auckland,

and the fifth Taco Bell store (first in the South Island) opening in the Eastgate Shopping Centre,

Christchurch. Both are trading ahead of expectations.

The KFC Takanini store that opened in April 2021 incorporates a range of innovations that improve

sustainability, including use of solar panels and energy efficient water heating. Customer experience is

also enhanced through new features such as a dual lane drive-thru and a separate click & collect area.

An additional four Taco Bell stores and two KFC stores are expected to open before the end of the year.

KFC is proud to be celebrating its 50th anniversary in New Zealand with the first store having opened

in Royal Oak, Auckland in 1971.

Australia operations

In $NZ terms the Australian business contributed total sales of $NZ123.0 million (up 24.1%), a store

EBITDA of $NZ16.3 million (up 37.9%) and operating profit (excluding the effect of NZ IFRS 16) of

$NZ5.6 million (up 106.3%).

In $A terms total sales in Australia were $A114.8 million, up $A20.4 million (or 21.6%) on last year,

primarily due to the acquisition of five additional KFC stores in February 2021, the effect of additional

store openings, and solid same store sales growth (up 5.2 % for the half year).

Australian operations continue to face challenges with COVID-19 lockdowns. These restrictions

have adversely impacted dine-in sales across the network and many of the mall and in-line city store

sales are operating below pre-COVID-19 levels. During the initial COVID-19 lockdown restrictions the

Australian business successfully expanded home delivery services and generated further growth in

KFC mobile ordering. Both initiatives continue to drive strong sales growth through these channels.

With continued investment in existing stores in the portfolio and a particular emphasis on driving

workplace safety, operational excellence and digital innovation that enhances customer experience

the business has succeeded in mitigating some of the impact of the current COVID-19 restrictions.

Store EBITDA margins of $A15.2 million (13.3% of sales) were up $A4.0 million or 35.3% on last year.

Although store EBITDA is up on last year this is primarily due to the increase in sales from store

acquisitions and new store openings. There remain underlying cost challenges from COVID-19 as well

as initial set up costs of operating Taco Bell as we look to scale the business.

Store numbers continue to grow through both new builds and acquisitions. Five KFC stores were

acquired in North Sydney early in the half year and one new Taco Bell opened in Green Square Sydney.

This store produced record opening day transactions this year for the entire Asia Pacific region.

Four more new Taco Bells are scheduled to open by the end of the year. Two Taco Bell and three

KFC stores also opened in 2H 2020.

Hawaii operations

Total sales in Hawaii for the period were $US72.7 million with store level EBITDA of $US11.6 million

(15.8% of sales).

In $NZ terms the Hawaiian operations contributed $NZ101.0 million in revenues, $NZ16.0 million in

EBITDA and an operating profit (excluding the effect of NZ IFRS 16) of $NZ19.3 million for the period.

This result includes $11.4 million ($US8.1 million) in relation to the PPP loan drawn down at the onset

of the COVID-19 pandemic last year, that was forgiven in June 2021.

Reported sales are up $US3.9 million with same store sales up 9.9%. Both Taco Bell and Pizza Hut

have shown growth on 1H 2020.

Pizza Hut’s resurgence in sales and profitability experienced last year has continued into 2021. As

Hawaii struggles through the ongoing pandemic, customer loyalty to a reliable and long-established

brand that offers product value has helped to maintain sales momentum. This has been reinforced by

enhanced delivery and customer ordering capability with Pizza Hut’s web orders now accounting for

more than 60% of total orders taken.

While Pizza Hut’s sales flourished in 2020, Taco Bell’s sales were stagnant under Hawaii’s initial “stay at

home” restrictions instituted in early 2020. Sales have subsequently resurged in 2021 with the recovery

in tourism arising from Hawaii opening up its economy. Increased deliveries, largely through third party

aggregators and digital sales through Taco Bell’s mobile ordering platform also played a large role

in sales growth in 2021. Prior to the pandemic, Taco Bell had no presence in the delivery market and

nominal digital sales.

Overall store numbers in Hawaii are down by two from 1H 2020 following the closure of three stores

late last year as part of the strategy to close some legacy dine-in restaurants. During the past six

months one new Pizza Hut store has opened in Pahoa.

California operations

Total sales in California for the period were $US55.2 million with store level EBITDA of $US9.1 million

(16.5% of sales).

In $NZ terms the Californian operations contributed $NZ77.3 million in revenues, $NZ12.7 million in

EBITDA and an operating profit (excluding the effect of NZ IFRS 16) of $NZ4.0 million for the period.

These results were above expectations at the time of completion of the California acquisition in

September 2020.

The second quarter saw record sales levels in California thanks to the launch of the new KFC Chicken

Sandwich, coupled with the third round of Federal stimulus and a relaxation in COVID-19 pandemic

restrictions. During June, California relaxed many of the pandemic trading restrictions allowing dining

rooms to reopen.

Store numbers have remained constant at the acquisition level of 69 stores. One additional KFC store

was acquired from an existing franchisee just after balance date.

Corporate and other

General and administration (G&A) costs were $24.3 million, an increase of $1.6 million on 1H 2020,

largely as a result of inclusion of the California division costs. G&A as a % of total revenue was 4.3%

which is much closer to the traditional run rate of 4.0% of revenues. This is a reduction from 5.7% in the

prior year due to the increase in revenue and the impact of COVID-19 on the 1H 2020 results.

Depreciation charges of $18.8 million for the half year were $3.1 million higher than the prior year. The

increase is from the California division charges ($2.1 million) and the continued high level of new store

builds and store refurbishments. Depreciation of leased assets is also up $4.9 million to $18.7 million

with new leases increasing the right of use asset depreciation.

Financing costs of $17.6 million were up $3.5 million on prior year primarily due to an increase in lease

interest of $3.4 million resulting from both new leases and existing leases being extended. Bank

interest costs were $3.4 million, $0.2 million lower than prior year with increased debt levels off-set by

lower interest rates.

Tax expense was $9.4 million, up $5.4 million due to the higher earnings. The effective tax rate is

21.5%, down from 26.3% last year due to the lower relative level of assessable income in the Hawaii

division with the PPP loan forgiveness.

Other expenses

Other expenses for the half year totalled $1.9 million, an increase of $0.2 million on prior year. This

year’s costs included acquisition costs (Australia and California) of $0.7 million and initial one-off costs

associated with a new company-wide ERP system ($1.2 million) being introduced. A further $2-3 million

is expected to be spent on this project over the balance of this financial year. The entire project is

expected to cost in excess of $7 million and will be largely expensed.

PPP loan

In March 2020 during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic the Hawaiian operations received $US8.1

million as a Government loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (a US Government assistance

package offered to US businesses affected by the pandemic). In June 2021, the US government

approved converting the PPP loan to a government grant. This resulted in $11.4 million in Other Income

being recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

NZ IFRS 16

The impact of NZ IFRS 16 on the Group accounts for the half year is a reduction of $4.5 million on after

tax operating earnings (1H 2020 impact: $2.8 million).

The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position has right of use assets of $537.8 million, up $26.0

million since December 2020 due to the inclusion of the five newly acquired stores in Australia, various

other new stores being opened and lease renewals. Lease liabilities of $623.8 million are also up by

$33.4 million reflecting the increase in future lease commitments.

Statements of Cash Flow and Financial Position

Bank debt at the end of the half year was down to $222.3 million compared to $235.6 million at the

previous year end. As at 30 June 2021, the Group had bank debt facilities totalling $NZ357.0 million

available. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $8.5 million during the period resulting in net debt

reducing by $4.8 million to $195.1 million over the half year.

Operating cash flows were $62.4 million, up $24.5 million on 1H 2020 which is a direct reflection of the

strong improvement in trading results vs the prior half year and the added benefit from the California

acquisition. Operating cash flows in 1H 2020 also included $22.1 million from the New Zealand wage

subsidy.

Net investing cash outflows at $53.2 million, versus $23.9 million in 1H 2020, include the acquisition of

stores in Australia for $25.3 million. The underlying spend on new stores as well as refurbishing stores

throughout the network is also up by $5.6 million.

Interim Report December 2021

COVID-19

The company continues to face challenges in relation to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic including

increased operating costs, continued trading restrictions in some markets and ongoing lockdowns in

Australia and on 18 August New Zealand. However, there have been opportunities with increased focus

on takeout and delivery channels which have helped produce strong results for this half year. Directors

acknowledge the continuing efforts of all staff in helping to deliver such a strong result in what remains

challenging circumstances.

Outlook

Despite the impact of COVID-19, store numbers are expected to continue to grow in the second half.

New store roll outs for both the KFC and Taco Bell brands will continue in New Zealand and Australia.

The Hawaiian market will see another new Taco Bell completed together with continuing scrape and

rebuild refurbishments delivering significant sales growth. A new store development programme is

under way in California, with up to three new KFC stores targeted for opening before year end.

The overall business continues to deliver solid results across all geographic markets and this strong

performance has carried over into the second half of the year. However, whilst current trading remains

strong across all divisions, the prevailing uncertainties with COVID-19, particularly in the Australian and

most recently the New Zealand markets make it difficult to provide firm profit guidance.

Non-GAAP financial measures

for the six months ended 30 June 2021

Non-GAAP financial measures (continued)

for the six months ended 30 June 2021

The Group results are prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting

Practice (“NZ GAAP”) and comply with New Zealand International Financial Reporting Standards

(“NZ IFRS”). These financial statements include non-NZ GAAP financial measures that are not prepared

in accordance with NZ IFRS. The non-NZ GAAP financial measures used in this presentation are as

follows:

1. EBITDA including Government grants, G&A and other items. The Group calculates Earnings

Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (“EBITDA”) before G&A (general and

administration expenses) and other items by taking net profit before taxation and adding back (or

deducting) financing expenses, other items, depreciation, amortisation and G&A. The Group also

refers to this measure as Store EBITDA before G&A and other items. This measure provides the

results of the Group’s core operating business and excludes those costs not directly attributable

to stores. This is believed to be a useful measure to assist in the understanding of the financial

performance of the Group.

The term Store refers to the Group’s 10 operating divisions comprising the four New Zealand brands

(KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Carl’s Jr.), the two Australia brands (KFC and Taco Bell), the two Hawaii

brands (Taco Bell and Pizza Hut) and the two California brands (Taco Bell and KFC). The term G&A

represents non-store related overheads.

2. Total NPAT excluding the impact of NZ IFRS 16. Total Net Profit After Taxation (“NPAT”) excluding

the impact of NZ IFRS 16 is calculated by taking profit after taxation attributable to shareholders and

adding back (or deducting) lease items whilst also allowing for any tax impact of those items. This

measure reflects the performance of the business, excluding costs associated with the adoption of NZ

IFRS 16 and is considered a useful measure to assist with understanding the financial performance of

the Group.

The Group believes that these non-NZ GAAP measures provide useful information to readers to assist

in the understanding of the financial performance and position of the Group but that they should not be

viewed in isolation, nor considered as a substitute for measures reported in accordance with NZ IFRS.

Non-NZ GAAP measures as reported by the Group may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts

reported by other companies.

The following is a reconciliation between these non-NZ GAAP measures and net profit after taxation:

Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited

Notes to and forming part of the consolidated financial statements

for the six months ended 30 June 2021

1. General information

The reporting entity is the consolidated group (the “Group”) comprising the parent entity Restaurant

Brands New Zealand Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries. Restaurant Brands New Zealand is a

limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand. The principal activity of the Group

is the operation of quick service and takeaway restaurant concepts in New Zealand, Australia, USA,

Saipan and Guam.

The Company is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (“NZX”) and the Australian Securities

Exchange (“ASX”) and is an FMC reporting entity and subject to the Financial Markets Conduct

Act 2013 legislative provisions. The Group is designated as a for-profit entity for financial reporting

purposes.

Statutory base

The Company is registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is an FMC reporting entity under Part 7

of the Financial Markets conduct Act 2013.

Reporting framework

These financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2021 have been prepared in accordance

with NZ IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with the financial

statements published in the Annual Report year ended 31 December 2020. The accounting policies

have been applied on a basis consistent with those used and described in the audited consolidated

financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand

Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“NZ GAAP”).

The Group has a negative working capital balance as the nature of the business results in most sales

being conducted on a cash basis. At 30 June 2021 the Group has bank facilities totalling $357.0 million

and has the ability to fully pay debts as they fall due. At balance date the amount undrawn was

$134.1 million.

Restatement of prior period balances

To ensure consistency and comparability with the current period and the last annual financial

statements, comparative figures have been reclassified where appropriate. These changes are

detailed below:

• The consolidated statement of financial position at 30 June 2020 included $3.2 million in relation

to make good provisions within lease liabilities in error; this balance should have been included

within provisions. This error has been corrected by restating both non-current lease liabilities and

provisions as at 30 June 2020 by $3.2 million.

• The consolidated statement of financial position at 30 June 2020 included $US8.1 million ($NZ12.7

million) relating to the Hawaii Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan within deferred income in

error; this balance should have been included in the loans balance. This error has been corrected by

restating current deferred income and loans as at 30 June 2020 by $US8.1 million (Current loans:

$NZ3.6 million, Non-current loans $NZ9.1 million). The consolidated statement of cash flows for the

six months ended 30 June 2020 included the PPP loan within receipts from Government grants

under operating activities in error; this cash flow should have been presented as proceeds from loans

within financing activities. This has been corrected by restating cash flows in relation to receipts

from Government grants and proceeds from loans by $US8.1 million ($NZ13.3 million) for the six

months ended 30 June 2020. The reconciliation of profit after taxation with net cash from operating

activities included $NZ13.3 million in the increase in trade creditors and other payables, as part of

the movement in working capital. The $NZ13.3 million has been removed from the trade creditors

and other payable balance within the working capital movement calculation. The reconciliation of

movement in term loans within the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended

30 June 2020 has also been corrected by restating the net cash flow movement to include the PPP

loan for $US8.1 million ($NZ13.3 million) and restating the foreign exchange movement to include the

impact of translation of the loan of $NZ0.6 million.

• The consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2020 excluded a lease

modification of $3.3 million in error from both lease liabilities and right of use assets. This has

been corrected by increasing both non-current lease liabilities and right of use assets by

$3.3 million at 31 December 2020.

• The consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended 30 June 2020 included $1.0

million of cash in transit as cash on hand in error; this should have been disclosed as cash at bank.

This has been corrected by restating the cash on hand and cash at bank balances by $1.0 million at

30 June 2020.

• The consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2020 included

prepaid facility fees of $0.8 million and $0.9 million respectively within trade and other receivables

in error; this should have been included in the non-current loans balance. This has been corrected

by restating trade and other receivables and non-current loans in the prior periods by $0.8 million in

31 December 2020 and $0.9 million in 30 June 2020. The reconciliation of movement in term loans

within the consolidated statement of cash flows have also been corrected by this amount, including a

new disclosure for decrease / (increase) in prepaid facility costs in the prior periods.

New standards and amendments

There are various standards, amendments and interpretations which were assessed as having an

immaterial impact on the Group. There are no NZ IFRS, NZ IFRIC interpretations or other applicable

IFRS that are effective for the first time for the financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2021 that

had a material impact on the financial statements.

Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited

Change in accounting policies

Software as a service

The Group previously capitalised costs incurred in configuring or customising certain suppliers’

application software in certain cloud computing arrangements as intangible assets, as the Group

considered that it would benefit from those costs to implement the cloud-based software over the

expected terms of the cloud computing arrangements. Following the IFRS Interpretations Committee

(IFRIC) agenda discussion on Configuration or Customisation Costs in a Cloud Computing Arrangement

in March 2021 (ratified by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in April 2021), the Group has

reconsidered its accounting treatment and adopted the guidance set out in the IFRIC agenda decision,

which is to recognise those costs as intangible assets only if the activities create an intangible asset

that the Group controls and the intangible asset meets the recognition criteria. Costs that do not result

in an intangible asset are expensed as incurred, unless they are paid to the suppliers of the cloud-based

software to significantly customise the cloud-based software for the Group, in which case the costs

paid upfront are recorded as prepayments for services and amortised over the expected terms of the

cloud computing arrangements.

As a result of this change in accounting policy, the Group has determined that certain costs relating

to the implementation of cloud-based software would need to be expensed when they were incurred,

as the amounts were paid to third parties who were not subcontracted by the supplier of the cloud-

based software and did not create separate intangible assets controlled by the Group, or significantly

customise the cloud-based software for the Group.

The change in policy has been applied retrospectively and comparative information has been adjusted.

The impact on the consolidated financial statements is as follows:

• Cost of goods sold in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended

31 December 2020 has increased by $0.4 million (for the six months ended 30 June 2020: $0.3 million).

• Taxation expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 31

December 2020 has decreased by $0.1 million (for the six months ended 30 June 2020: $0.1 million).

The deferred tax asset in the consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2020 has

increased by $0.1 million (30 June 2020: $0.1 million).

• Intangible assets in the consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2020 have

reduced by $0.9 million (30 June 2020: $0.8 million).

• Retained earnings in the consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2020 has

reduced by $0.5 million (30 June 2020: $0.5 million).

• Payments to suppliers and employees in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended

31 December 2020 has increased by $0.7 million (for the six months ended 30 June 2020: $0.4 million).

Payment for intangibles in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended

31 December 2020 has reduced by $0.7 million (for the six months ended June 2020: $0.4 million).

• Earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2020 has reduced from 24.80 cents per share

to 24.56 cents per share (for the six months ended 30 June 2020: 9.15 cents per share to 8.99 cents

per share).

Other expenses

The Group has reviewed the expenses included in other expenses in the consolidated statement of

comprehensive income and determined that amortisation of franchise rights, relocation and refurbishment

costs, store closure costs, utilisation of depreciation provision, and make good on acquisition would be

more appropriately included within cost of goods sold.

The change in policy has been applied retrospectively and comparative information has been adjusted.

The impact on the consolidated financial statements is as follows:

• Other expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended

31 December 2020 has reduced by $4.2 million (for the six months ended 30 June 2020: $0.9 million).

• Cost of goods sold in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended

31 December 2020 has increased by $4.2 million (for the six months ended 30 June 2020: $0.9 million).

2. Segmental reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the

chief operating decision makers. The Group is split into four geographically distinct operating divisions;

New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii and California. The chief operating decision makers, responsible for

allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, have been identified as the

Group Chief Executive Officer (Group CEO) and Group Chief Financial Officer (Group CFO). The chief

operating decision makers consider the performance of the business from a geographic perspective,

being New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii (including Guam and Saipan) and California while the performance

of the corporate support function is assessed separately.

The Group is therefore organised into four operating segments, depicting the four geographic regions

the Group operates in and the corporate support function located in New Zealand. All segments operate

quick service and takeaway restaurant concepts. All operating revenue is from external customers.

The Group evaluates performance and allocates resources to its operating segments on the basis of

segment assets, segment revenues, EBITDA before general and administration expenses and operating

profit before NZ IFRS 16. EBITDA refers to earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation

and amortisation. Operating profit refers to earnings before interest and taxation.

The Group believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to readers to assist in the

understanding of the financial performance and position of the Group but that they should not be viewed

in isolation, nor considered as a substitute for measures reported in accordance with NZ IFRS. The non-

GAAP measures presented do not have a standardised meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may

not be comparable to similar financial information presented by other entities.

Other expenses(1,858)(1,646)(5,231)

Lease expenses

This relates to short term and variable lease costs included in the consolidated statement of

comprehensive income not included in NZ IFRS 16 costs.

New Zealand Government wage subsidy

In April 2020 the Group received $22.1 million as a wage subsidy for its New Zealand division. This

money was applied against wages and salaries between March and June 2020. This amount is shown

as a separate line item in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income due to its material

nature. The amount received was also included in the consolidated statement of cash flows as part

of receipts from Government grants.

Loan forgiveness

In June 2021 the Hawaii PPP loan (note 10) was forgiven by the US Small Business Association.

This amount is shown as a separate line item in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income

due to its material nature. The loan forgiveness has been shown as a non-cash item in the cash flow

reconciliation of profit after taxation with net cash from operating activities.

As part of the June 2020 financial statements this was classified as deferred income however it has

been reclassified to loans in the comparatives in these financial statements.

Rent relief

During 2020 the Group received rent relief of $1.3 million (June 2020: $1.1 million). This has been

included as a negative variable rent within the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Contracts with abatement clauses total $0.5 million (June 2020: $0.5 million) whilst those without

abatement clauses total $0.8 million (June 2020: $0.6 million).

Net gain on sales of stores

During 2021 the Group sold five Pizza Hut stores to independent franchisees resulting in a net gain of

$0.9 million (2020: $0.4 million).

6. Right of use assets

Additions and modifications

8. Assets classified as held for sale

There was $1.7 million at June 2020 relating to right of use assets and $1.9 million relating to lease

liabilities associated with the stores held for sale. This relates to existing New Zealand Pizza Hut stores

that were being actively marketed and were immediately available for sale. It was expected that these

stores would be sold within the next 12 months.

9. New stores developed for sale

This relates to new Pizza Hut stores developed for sale in New Zealand which are being actively

marketed for sale and are expected to be sold within 12 months. Included as part of the balance is

$0.7 million (June 2020: $2.2 million) of lease liabilities and $0.7 million (June 2020: $2.1 million) of

right of use assets associated with these stores.

10. Loans

Included within the Group’s loans at 30 June 2020 was $12.7 million ($US8.1 million) relating to

a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan received by the Hawaii division as part of the USA

Government response to COVID-19. In June 2021 the Group received notification from the Small

Business Association in the USA that the full balance of the loan had been forgiven. Due to its material

nature the loan forgiveness has been disclosed as a separate line in the consolidated statement of

comprehensive income.

11. Capital commitments

The Group has capital commitments totalling $19.2 million (June 2020: $4.5 million) which are not

provided for in these financial statements.

12. Contingent liabilities

There are no contingent liabilities that the directors consider will have a significant impact on the

financial position of the Group (June 2020: nil).

13. Business combinations

On 23 February 2021 the Group acquired five KFC stores in New South Wales, Australia for $17.3 million

through the purchase of 100% of the shares in TPH Group Pty Ltd.

The acquisition provided increased presence within the current trading territory. The goodwill on

acquisition represents synergies from combining operations with the current store network as well

as additional trading strength within the current trading territory. The goodwill is not deductible for

tax purposes.

TPH contributed $6.4 million in sales revenue and $0.5 million in profit after taxation attributable to

shareholders in the period ended 30 June 2021. Had TPH’s results been consolidated for the full half

year period ended 30 June 2021, TPH would have contributed $9.2 million in sales revenue and profit

after taxation attributable to shareholders of $0.7 million.

The loan of $8.0 million was repaid to the previous owner as part of the settlement. Therefore in the

consolidated statement of cash flows cash applied to the acquisition of business is $25.3 million,

including both the net consideration and the settlement of the loan to the previous owner.

The valuation of both the tangible and intangible assets are areas where estimates and judgements

have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the fair value of the recognised amounts

of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Group engaged third parties to value the

tangible assets, and franchise agreements.

The valuation of franchise agreements was based on discounted cash flow methodology. Cash flows

have been prepared both with and without the existing franchise agreements factored into the model

to assess the value attributable to the existing franchise agreements.

The valuation of property, plant and equipment was completed using a cost approach. The cost

approach considers the cost to replace existing assets less the amount of depreciation on the asset.

A market approach was also used for some assets where an active secondary market was identified.

The valuation of property, plant and equipment has been determined on a provisional basis due to the

acquisition being completed close to the half year reporting period and pending a final review of the fair

value of certain items of property, plant and equipment. The fair value of these assets will be finalised

within 12 months from acquisition date.

14. Fair value measurements of financial instruments

Exposure to credit, interest rate and foreign currency risks arises in the normal course of the Group’s

business. Derivative financial instruments may be used to hedge exposure to fluctuations in foreign

currency exchange rates and interest rates. There have been no changes in the risk management

policies or nature of the derivative financial instruments since year end. Consistent with the prior year,

the derivatives have been determined to be within level 2 (for the purposes of NZ IFRS 13 Fair Value

Measurement) of the fair value hierarchy as all significant inputs required to ascertain the fair values are

observable. There were also no changes in valuation techniques during the period.

15. Deed of Cross Guarantee

Pursuant to the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) Class Order 98/1418,

the wholly owned subsidiary, QSR Pty Limited (QSR), is relieved from the Corporations Act 2001

requirement for the preparation, audit and lodgement of financial reports.

It is a condition of that class order that Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited (RBNZ) and QSR enter

into a Deed of Cross Guarantee (Deed). On 9 February 2017 a Deed was executed between RBNZ,

QSR, Restaurant Brands Australia Pty Limited and Restaurant Brands Australia Holdings Pty Limited

under which each company guarantees the debts of the others.

16. COVID-19 and goodwill impairment

The Group has reviewed all assets for indicators of impairment, including goodwill, however due to the

strong trading performance across all cash generating units there are no indicators of impairment noted.

17. Subsequent events

On 18 August 2021, following an outbreak of COVID-19 within New Zealand, the New Zealand

Government initiated an alert level 4 lockdown. Under alert level 4, the Group’s operations in

New Zealand were deemed a non-essential service and as a result all stores were closed.

The current store closures will have an adverse impact on the Group’s financial results and there

remains some uncertainty surrounding the length of the alert level 4 lockdown. Experience from the

previous move from alert level 4 to alert level 3 showed that the New Zealand stores recovered quickly

and stores with take-away or drive through options experienced increased volumes under level 3.

Should the level 4 lockdown continue for an extended period the Group will continue to evaluate its

position and assess its options to minimise the financial impact.

There are no other subsequent events that would have a material effect on these financial statements.

Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited

Report on the consolidated financial statements

Our conclusion

We have reviewed the consolidated financial statements of Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited

(the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial

position as at 30 June 2021, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated

statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the period ended on that

date, and significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these accompanying

consolidated financial statements of the Group do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial

position of the Group as at 30 June 2021, and its financial performance and cash flows for the six month

period then ended, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting

(IAS 34) and New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting

(NZ IAS 34).

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410

(Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (NZ SRE

2410 (Revised)). Our responsibility is further described in the Auditor’s responsibility for the review of

the financial statements section of our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand

relating to the audit of the annual financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical

responsibilities in accordance with these ethical requirements. Other than in our capacity as auditor and

providers of specified procedures on landlord certificates and review of Yum! Advertising Co-operative

report, we have no relationship with, or interests in, the Group.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial statements

The Directors of the Group are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair

presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Accounting

Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) and New Zealand Equivalent to International

Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34) and for such internal control as the

Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated

financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our

review. NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention

that causes us to believe that the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared

in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34. A review of consolidated financial

statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement. We perform

procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and

accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.

The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit

conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and International

Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we might identify

in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these consolidated financial statements.

Who we report to

This report is made solely to the Company’s Shareholders as a body. Our review work has been

undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s Shareholders those matters which we are required

to state to them in our review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we

do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Shareholders, as a body, for our review

procedures, for this report, or for the conclusion we have formed.

The engagement partner on the review resulting in this independent auditor’s review report is

Philippa (Pip) Cameron.
