OPERATING RESULTS
Total Group store sales reached a record $1,393.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2024. Supported by the
implementation of strategic initiatives including effective revenue management programmes, cost control measures, and
operational efficiencies, the Group NPAT of $26.5 million represents a considerable improvement from last year.
These initiatives, combined with the consistent delivery of value through price and customer experience, have supported
customer loyalty, brand health, and our competitive position, while also partially offsetting rising labour costs and
consumer pressures.
Group Store EBITDA increased 8.9% on the prior year, or $15.9 million, reaching $194.3 million, with the implemented
measures continuing to deliver gradual margin recovery for the Group.
New Zealand and Hawaii are noteworthy, with improved performance and solid growth delivered in 2024. This continues to
offset a slower recovery in Australia and California. We remain on the right track to reach Group Store EBITDA margin levels
obtained in FY22, previously established as the baseline for future growth.
Market conditions in Australia and California - including the imposed 29% increase in the minimum wage in California in
April 2024 - are still placing significant pressure on consumer spending and labour costs. We are monitoring these trading
conditions closely in order to implement and adapt any necessary plans to mitigate their impact.
Despite these challenging market conditions, we have significantly advanced our growth strategy in parallel to our focus
on margin and profit recovery. In all markets we are investing in digital channels and increasing digital sales, delivering
enhanced marketing programmes, launching innovative new products, and adapting our menus.
Our unique, modern brands continue to grow and provide winning experiences to our customers, driven forward by the
highly motivated Restaurant Brands team and our franchisee network. The considerable investments we have made in
technology in recent years are delivering cost efficiencies that support our margins and, at the same time, improve
customer access and the staff experience across all divisions.

2024 DIRECTORS’ REPORT
During FY24, we opened nine new stores, including new, innovative formats, furthered our store refurbishment programme,
and optimised the store portfolio, focusing on key growth areas. New store openings were offset by four closures
in California.
As at 31 December 2024, Restaurant Brands has 521 stores (381 owned and 140 franchised) distributed as follows: 155
owned stores in New Zealand, 85 stores in Australia, 70 in Hawaii and 71 in California. The Restaurant Brands portfolio
includes 141 Pizza Hut stores in New Zealand, of which 135 are owned and operated by independent franchisees.
NEW ZEALAND OPERATIONS
31 Dec 202431 Dec 2023Change ($)Change (%)
Store sales ($m)625.9571.8+54.1+9.5
Store EBITDA ($m)104.080.5+23.5+29.2
Store EBITDA as a % of sales16.614.1
Store numbers (owned and franchised)295269
Store sales for the New Zealand business were up $54.1 million to $625.9 million, representing a strong 9.5% growth on
FY23, primarily driven by KFC and the opening of new stores.
Despite a slowdown in the economy, most markedly towards the second half of the year, same store sales were up 4.6%,
with strong transaction growth year-on-year as a result of effective marketing strategies and new product launches.
In 2024, the New Zealand KFC business delivered record sales driven by innovative new products and viral marketing
initiatives that contributed to weekly sales records. Pizza Hut marked its 50th anniversary in New Zealand with special
celebrations, including the limited return of vintage company favourites such as the all-you-can-eat buffet and special
menu items aimed at bringing back core memories for both the Pizza Hut team and our longstanding customers. Taco Bell
continued to grow in terms of same store sales, transactions, and new store openings as a result of a consistent brand
message and strong menu innovation.
Digital sales continued to grow across all brands, with investments in digital channels enhancing customer experience
at store level and through delivery. While KFC remains the leading contributor to New Zealand operations, Taco Bell has
solidified its presence in the QSR sector and Carl’s Jr. continues to perform in line with expectations.
Store EBITDA was $104.0 million, a $23.5 million or 29.2% increase on FY23, reflecting improved sales performance, cost
saving initiatives, more stable roster that enabled the stores to resume full trading hours. Store EBITDA margin was 16.6%,
an increase on the 14.1% in FY23, again indicating robust sales growth and strong margin improvements.
The New Zealand division opened eight new stores in FY24, bringing the total number of RBD-owned stores to 155. The
division focused on developing innovative store formats designed to boost customer experience, including a premier
flagship side-by-side opening of KFC, Taco Bell, and Carl’s Jr. stores in a new town centre.
The Pizza Hut store network maintained its strong growth momentum this year, opening 17 new stores in FY24, for
a total 141 stores, of which 135 are operated by independent franchisees under a master franchise agreement with
Restaurant Brands.
We are continuing to deliver proactive, value-led marketing strategies in the first half of 2025, to address pressure on
consumer spending, with an expected improvement in the New Zealand retail environment in the second half.

AUSTRALIAN OPERATIONS
31 Dec 202431 Dec 2023Change ($)Change (%)
Store sales ($Am)284.2286.6-2.4-0.8
Store EBITDA ($Am)32.334.9-2.6-7.4
Store EBITDA as a % of sales11.412.2
Store numbers (owned)8584
Store sales for the Australia business were $A284.2 million, down 0.8% on FY23.
Same store sales were down 3.3%, driven by a year-on-year reduction in transaction levels largely due to continued cost
of living pressures impacting consumers in the market. Small pricing adjustments were made throughout the year while
enhancing value-driven offerings to meet the needs of cost-conscious customers.
Australia continues to face challenging market conditions, with high interest rates, elevated inflation, and occupancy costs
driving cost of living pressures. Despite applying pricing uplifts factoring customer demand for value offerings, customers
have continued to shift to supermarket options. Additionally, while input costs have remained stable, electricity costs
increased markedly. To partially offset this increase, the Group has invested in energy efficiency initiatives such as the
expansion of rooftop solar and LED lighting.
Store EBITDA was down $A2.6 million, to $A32.3 million, and Store EBITDA margins declined from 12.2% to 11.4%, which is
reflective of the ongoing inflationary cost pressures impacting consumer spending. Although KFC delivered a lower Store
EBITDA versus the prior year, it is important to note that the strong 2023 results make for a high comparison base. While
Taco Bell performed below expectations, we remain confident that the strategy currently in place will bring the brand to the
levels and momentum we are experiencing in the New Zealand market.
In $NZ terms, the Australian business contributed $NZ309.9 million in sales, and Store EBITDA of $NZ35.2 million was down
6.8% on the previous year.
RBD operates 85 stores in Australia. The business opened one new store during the year, and successfully converted a
Taco Bell store closed in 2023 into a KFC store. We continue to invest in the store refurbishment program in this market,
with a focus on elevating brand standards, employee safety, and customer experiences with new restaurant equipment and
digital kiosks.
We are optimistic about the outlook for Australia, with cost of living pressures expected to ease during the second half of
2025. We will continue to invest in the growth of digital channels and develop new store assets while building increased
brand resilience in a highly competitive market.
HAWAIIAN OPERATIONS

Store sales ($USm)169.5159.5+10.0+6.3
Store EBITDA ($USm)28.727.6+1.1+4.0
Store EBITDA as a % of sales16.917.3
Store numbers (owned)7070
Store sales for the Hawaii business were $US169.5 million, up $US10.0 million and 6.3% on the prior year, with solid
performance in Taco Bell once again and moderate growth in Pizza Hut. Same store sales increased 4.2% on the prior year.
While Taco Bell continued to deliver strong sales, supported by successful marketing campaigns and product innovations,
Pizza Hut sales were below expectations. However, sales at Pizza Hut did improve over FY23 with the implementation of
strategies to support employee attraction and retention, which have been successful in improving staffing conditions. Pizza
Hut’s new offerings, introduced mid-way through 2024, constituted an effective step forward for the brand.
3
2024 DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Store EBITDA was $US28.7 million, equivalent to 16.9% of sales, an increase of $US1.1m on last year. However, the margin
decreased slightly, resulting from a year-on-year inflation increase and high energy prices that limited consumer spending,
despite the Group’s focus on value offerings. Store EBITDA growth is mainly driven by Taco Bell, with Pizza Hut having
similar performance versus the prior year.
In $NZ terms, the Hawaii business contributed $NZ280.3 million in sales, up $NZ20.6 million, or 7.9%, on the prior year.
Store EBITDA increased $NZ2.4 million to $NZ47.4 million, partly supported by a favourable NZD/USD exchange rate.
RBD operates 70 stores in Hawaii (with no openings or closures during FY24).
We continue to implement unique marketing campaigns as well as new offerings and sites to strengthen brand awareness,
while also bringing back long-time consumers with favourites from the past.
CALIFORNIAN OPERATIONS
31 Dec 202431 Dec 2023Change ($)Change (%)
Store sales ($USm)107.3110.9-3.6-3.2
Store EBITDA ($USm)4.69.3-4.7-50.5
Store EBITDA as a % of sales4.38.4
Store numbers (owned)7175
Store sales for the California business were $US107.3 million, a decrease of $US3.6 million, or 3.2%, on the prior year.
Same store sales declined 3.9% on the prior year.
The elevated cost of living is still impacting consumer spending in this market, where dining at home continues to
make more economic sense than eating out. The average spend per customer has declined as customers gravitate to
value-oriented menus and promotional items in an environment of very strong competition. However, same store sales
improved during the course of the fourth quarter, driven in part by new marketing campaigns for KFC in the U.S. Changes
to in-store kiosks, as well as local restaurant marketing efforts - particularly catering offers – have supported an increase in
uptake and value-oriented promotional efforts and innovation introduced this year have delivered strong sales compared to
other operators in our market.
Store EBITDA was down 50.5%, to $US4.6 million, mainly impacted by the 29% increase in the minimum wage that came
into effect on 1 April 2024, despite the implementation of strategies to mitigate this impact while maintaining a strong
customer base. However, there were improvements in key labour indicators regarding retention and staffing levels and
investments were made into initiatives to reduce operating costs, improve operational efficiency, maintain brand health and
support growth.
In $NZ terms, the California business contributed $NZ177.4 million in sales, down 1.8% on FY23, and $NZ7.7 million in Store
EBITDA, a decrease of 49.0%, which was partially offset by a favourable NZD/USD exchange rate.
RBD operates 71 stores in California. As part of the ongoing optimisation of the portfolio to focus on key growth areas, four
stores were closed over the course of the year.
Key pillars of our strategy for California include enhanced operational efficiencies (including kiosk rollouts), initiatives to
boost our energy efficiency, and the optimisation of our store portfolio. While these and other initiatives have helped to
improve performance and partially offset increased labour costs, we anticipate that it will take 12-18 months to see better
trading conditions in this market.

2024 DIRECTORS’ REPORT
CORPORATE & OTHER
Group General and Administration (G&A) expenses were $66.6 million, a decrease of $0.6 million on FY23. G&A as a
percentage of total revenue was 4.5%, down on FY23 at 4.8%, supported by continuing initiatives aimed at reducing
non-essential G&A expenses across the Group. Depreciation charges of $50.1 million for FY24 were $3.4 million higher
than FY23, due to the continued new store builds and store refurbishments, although at a slower rate than the prior year.
Depreciation of right of use assets is up $1.0 million, to $43.7 million, with new stores and lease renewals increasing the
associated right of use asset depreciation. Financing costs of $57.0 million were up $0.8 million on FY23, primarily driven by
a $0.9 million increase in lease interest to $36.2 million due to both new leases and existing leases being extended. This was
partially offset by bank debt servicing costs with lower debt levels as a result of the improved cash flows achieved in 2024.
Tax expense was $10.3 million, up $4.1 million on the back of higher earnings for the year. The effective tax rate is 28.0%
(FY23 27.5%).
OTHER ITEMS
Other items comprise other income and expenses and they totalled $8.0 million (FY23 $6.1 million). FY24 includes a net
impairment charge of $7.8 million, and $0.7 million related to the assets write-downs for store closures in California and
other expenses of $0.5 million. These charges were partially offset by $0.9 million of insurance recovery proceeds following
the wildfire in Lahaina in 2023.
BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW
Total assets of the Group were $1,491.5 million, up $65.7 million on 31 December 2023, primarily due to new store builds
and refurbishments which increased the value of both property, plant, and equipment as well as intangibles and right of use
assets. Bank debt at the end of FY24 was $284.5 million compared with $289.4 million as of 31 December 2023, due to a
combination of net repayments of $27.4 million offset by $22.5 million of exchange rate effects. As of 31 December 2024, the
Group had bank debt facilities totalling $405.1 million ($120.7 million undrawn).
In December 2024 the Group paid a special dividend of $22.5 million, as a result of the current and projected financial
position supported by the Group’s cash flows and capital expenditure requirements.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $0.8 million since 31 December 2023 with the higher earnings offset by the
dividend payment and the repayment of bank loans. The Group remains comfortably within all banking covenants with a Net
Debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.8:1 (2.2:1 in FY23).
Net operating cash inflows were $132.6 million, up $4.8 million on FY23. This increase is mainly driven by higher sales and
is partially offset by increased payments to suppliers generating a net cash inflow. The increase in the interest payments
on bank debt amounted to $1.4 million, partially offset by lower income tax payments. Net investing cash outflows were
$53.5 million, a $31.3 million decrease on FY23, primarily driven by reductions in overall capital expenditure.
DIVIDEND
Following the assessment of the current and projected financial position and considering the recent special dividend
payment in December, no additional dividend was declared for FY24. Directors believe it is in the best interests of the
Group to retain cash at this time in order to support growth and maintain funding flexibility.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
for the year ended 31 December 2024
The Group results are prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“NZ GAAP”)
and comply with International Financial Reporting Standards Accounting Standards ("IFRS Accounting Standards") and
New Zealand International Financial Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”). These financial statements include a non-NZ GAAP
financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with NZ IFRS. The non-NZ GAAP financial measure used in this
presentation is as follows:
Store EBITDA before General and Administration (G&A) expenses, NZ IFRS 16 and other items. The Group calculates
Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (“EBITDA”) before G&A, NZ IFRS 16 and other items by taking
net profit before taxation and adding back (or deducting) financing expenses, other items, depreciation, amortisation, NZ
IFRS 16 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.
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 (KFC and Taco Bell). The term G&A represents non-store related overheads.
The Group believes that this non-NZ GAAP measure provides useful information to readers to assist in the understanding of
the financial performance and position of the Group, but it should not be viewed in isolation, nor considered as a substitute
for measures reported in accordance with IFRS and NZ IFRS. This non-NZ GAAP measure as reported by the Group may not
be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.
The following is a reconciliation between this non-GAAP measure and net profit after taxation:

RESTAURANT BRANDS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED RELEASES FY24 FINANCIAL RESULTS
• Total Group store sales of $1,393.6 million, a new company record
• Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) of $26.5 million, representing 62.6% improvement on the prior year
• Group Store EBITDA
1
was $194.3 million, an increase of 8.9% on FY23
• Store numbers now total 521 (owned and franchised)
Auckland, New Zealand, 27 February 2025. Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited (RBD or the
Group) today announced its results for the full year ended 31 December 2024.
The Group delivered record total store sales of $1,393.6 million for the year, an increase of $71.4 million,
or 5.4% on the prior year.
Driven by the implementation of strategic initiatives, including effective revenue management
programmes, cost control measures, and operational efficiencies, NPAT was $26.5 million,
representing a 62.6% improvement on the prior year.
RBD Chairman, José Parés, said the Group’s strategy has continued to deliver gradual margin recovery
while maintaining value for customers through both pricing and experience, reinforcing the platform for
long-term growth.
“These initiatives are strengthening customer loyalty, brand health, and our competitive position, while
partially offsetting rising labour costs and consumer pressures.”
Group Store EBITDA reached $194.3 million, an 8.9% increase on the prior year. Margins improved to
13.9% of sales, up from 13.5% in FY23, driven by the Group’s margin recovery programme.
Parés noted that New Zealand and Hawaii delivered solid growth in 2024. “The performance of these
two markets continues to offset a slower recovery in Australia and California. The Group remains on
track to regain FY22 Group Store EBITDA margin levels, which serve as the baseline for future growth.”
RBD Chief Executive Officer, Arif Khan said significant advances were made against the Group’s growth
strategy in 2024, alongside ongoing margin and profit recovery.
“Investments in technology and digital channels are increasing digital sales and customer access points.
We’re delivering enhanced, value-led marketing programmes, product and menu innovations and new
store models to align with evolving customer preferences.”
“Our unique, modern brands are growing and providing winning experiences for our customers, driven
forward by the highly motivated RBD team and our franchisee network.”
The Group maintains healthy debt levels, with bank debt reducing to $284.5 million and a Net Debt to
EBITDA ratio of 1.8:1. Capital expenditure was lower than the prior year, supporting strong cash flow
and enabling a $22.5 million special dividend in December 2024.
Nine stores were opened over the course of the year, and four closed in California as part of the Group’s
portfolio optimisation strategy. The store refurbishment programme has also continued, focusing on

RESTAURANT BRANDS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
enhancing the portfolio by targeting key growth areas.
As at 31 December 2024, RBD has 521 stores (381 owned and 140 franchised) distributed as follows:
155 owned stores in New Zealand, 85 stores in Australia, 70 in Hawaii, and 71 in California. The store
portfolio includes 141 Pizza Hut stores in New Zealand, of which 135 are owned and operated by
independent franchisees.
Division update
New Zealand
Same store sales in New Zealand were up 4.6%, with strong transaction growth year-on-year.
Store EBITDA was $104.0 million, a 29.2% increase on FY23, and Store EBITDA margin was 16.6%,
an increase on the 14.1% in FY23.
KFC achieved record sales, driven by innovative new products and viral marketing. Pizza Hut
celebrated its 50th anniversary in the country with a limited return of vintage brand favourites and
special menu items. Taco Bell saw growth in same store sales, transactions, and new store openings.
Digital sales continued to rise across all brands. KFC remains the leading contributor to New Zealand
operations. Taco Bell has solidified its position in the QSR sector, and Carl’s Jr. has performed as
expected.
The New Zealand division added eight new stores in FY24, reaching 155 RBD-owned locations. The
franchise network also grew, with 18 new stores opened by independent operators.
Australia
Australian store sales totalled $A284.2 million, down 0.8% on FY23, with same store sales down 3.3%,
due to a year-on-year reduction in transaction levels. Store EBITDA was down $A2.6 million, to
$A32.3 million, and Store EBITDA margin declined from 12.2% to 11.4%.
Australia continues to face headwinds from high interest rates, inflation, and rising occupancy costs,
which are straining consumer spending. While input costs remain stable, electricity costs increased
significantly. To partially offset the increase, the Group has invested in energy efficiency initiatives and
will continue implementing its margin control strategy. RBD operates 85 stores in Australia.
Hawaii
In Hawaii, store sales rose 6.3% to $US169.5 million, with same store sales up 4.2%. Store EBITDA
increased by $US1.1 million to $US28.7 million, equivalent to 16.9% of sales, though margins were
slightly impacted by year-on-year inflation and high energy costs.
Taco Bell continued to deliver strong sales, supported by successful marketing campaigns and product
innovations. While Pizza Hut sales fell short of expectations, they improved on FY23 results, supported
by new menu offerings and successful employee retention strategies that enhanced staffing conditions.
RBD operates 70 stores in Hawaii, with no openings or closures in 2024.
California
In California, store sales totalled $US107.3 million, down $US3.6 million on the prior year, with same
store sales declining 3.9%. Despite efforts to offset the 29% minimum wage increase introduced on
April 1, 2024, Store EBITDA margin dropped 50.5% to $US4.6 million.
Shifts in customer behaviour and the elevated cost of living reduced average spend, as dining at
home remained more affordable than dining out. However, same store sales improved in the fourth
quarter, supported by new KFC marketing campaigns, in-store kiosk roll-outs, and local promotional
efforts focused on value. Innovations introduced during the year positively impacted sales in the
challenging market.
RBD operates 71 stores in California. As part of the portfolio optimisation strategy, four stores were
closed during the year to focus on key growth areas.
In closing, Parés added, "We remain optimistic about the Group’s outlook. While the QSR sector
continues to face challenges, our strategic investments and region-specific measures are supporting
margin recovery, strengthening our brands, and positioning the Group and its investors for sustainable
growth."

The Directors of Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited (the Company) are pleased to present

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BASIS OF PREPARATION
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with:
•New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“NZ GAAP”)
•Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013
•NZX Main Board Listing Rules
They comply with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”), NZ IFRIC
interpretations, and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards, as appropriate for a for-profit entity. The consolidated
financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards Accounting Standards (“IFRS Accounting
Standards”) as issued by the IASB.
The measurement basis adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements is historical cost, and
when applicable modified by the revaluation of certain financial instruments as identified in the accompanying notes. The
consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars, rounded where necessary to the nearest thousand
dollars. The material accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out
in the accompanying notes including where an accounting policy choice is provided by NZ IFRS, is new or has changed, is
specific to the Group’s operations or is material. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented,
unless otherwise stated.
These audited consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue on 27 February 2025 by the Board of Directors
who do not have the power to amend afterwards.
New disclosure requirements and changes in accounting policies
There are various standards, amendments and interpretations which are published but not yet effective and were assessed
as having an immaterial impact on the Group. There are no NZ IFRS, NZ IFRIC interpretations or other applicable IFRS
Accounting Standards that are effective for the first time for the financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2024 that had
a material impact on these consolidated financial statements.
In May 2024, the External Reporting Board introduced NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (NZ
IFRS 18) (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027). This standard replaces NZ IAS 1 and
primarily introduces a defined structure for the statement of comprehensive income, disclosure of management-defined
performance measures (a subset of non-GAAP measures) in a single note, together with reconciliation requirements. The
Group has not early adopted this standard and is yet to assess its impacts.
On 14 December 2022 the External Reporting Board (XRB) published its climate-related disclosure standards. The
mandatory reporting regime for disclosing risk in the annual report is for reporting periods beginning after 1 January
2023. Climate-related disclosures will be reported on or before 30 April 2025 as per the blanket exemption issued during
the reporting period.
Expected changes to income tax legislation
On 8 October 2021, 136 countries, which are part of the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework (IF), reached an agreement for
a two-pillar approach to international tax reform (“OECD agreement”). In May 2023 the New Zealand Government has
announced that New Zealand will adopt the OECD-led global tax initiative aimed at ensuring large multinationals pay a
minimum tax rate of 15.0% in participating countries. The OECD agreement is likely to see changes in corporate tax rates in
a number of countries in the next few years.
Applying the OECD Pillar Two model rules and determining their impact on the NZ IFRS financial statements is complex
and poses a number of practical challenges. It is not immediately apparent how entities would apply the principles and
requirements in NZ IAS 12 Income Taxes in accounting for top-up tax arising from the Pillar Two model rules – specifically,
whether the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities would be impacted. If deferred tax assets
10
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2024
and liabilities would be impacted by the rules, this would be from the date when the relevant national legislation is enacted
or substantively enacted.
As at 31 December 2024, the Pillar Two requirements have been enacted in Australia and New Zealand. However in New
Zealand the rules are effective from 1 January 2025. The Group is closely monitoring the enaction process in jurisdictions
where it operates and its potential impact on the Group operations and the consolidated financial statements. Further
details are disclosed in note 17.
Use of non-GAAP measures within the consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements include non-GAAP financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with NZ
IFRS. The non-GAAP financial measures used in the consolidated financial statements are referenced below along with an
explanation as to why these measures provide relevant and reliable information for investors and how the Group uses the
information internally:
•Store EBITDA before General and Administration expenses (G&A), NZ IFRS 16 and other items. The Group calculates
Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortisation ("EBITDA") before G&A, NZ IFRS 16 and other items by taking
net profit before taxation and adding back (or deducting) financing expenses, other items, depreciation, amortisation, NZ
IFRS 16 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.
•Capital expenditure including intangible assets – This represents additions to property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets. This measure represents the amount of investment in the business and is therefore a useful measure to
assist the understanding of the Group’s financial position.
•Other items – These relate to non-core business items disclosed as other income and other expenses as set out in note 2.
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, however, 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. These non-GAAP measures are used by management in making the business decisions for the Group as
shown in note 1.
Judgements and estimates
Material accounting policy information and critical estimates and assumptions are disclosed in the relevant notes to the
consolidated financial statements and identified using coloured boxes. By definition these will seldom equal the actual
results. Estimates and judgements are continually assessed, and are based on professional experience and various factors,
including expectations of future events, that are deemed to be justified in given circumstances. Revisions to estimates are
recognised prospectively.
Climate change
All companies face risks and opportunities derived from the climate and are having to make strategic decisions in this
area. The Group continues to monitor its exposure to climate related risk and related regulatory requirements. The Group's
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Management Committee assesses the relevant climate risks that impact the
business in conjunction with climate-related disclosure requirements that became effective in 2023. The impacts of climate
risks on the consolidated financial statements are broad and potentially complex and will depend on the specific risks of
the sector. When the future is analysed, probability scenarios are presented where not only the physical consequences
of climate change are assessed, but also the changes in environmental regulations to face it. Both physical risks such as
susceptibility of stores and other key locations to rising sea levels and flooding, and transitional risks pose a number of
threats and opportunities to overall financial stability, potentially influencing financial markets in the future. The Group
has performed an initial assessment of potential climate-related risks and the location of the restaurants and other key
operations in each region that it operates in. This included considering whether there are any short to medium term impact
on the recognised assets of the Group arising from climate-related risks. The Group concluded that there is no material
impact on the consolidated financial statements.

PERFORMANCE
1. SEGMENTAL REPORTING
The Group is organised into five operating segments, depicting the four geographically distinct operating divisions: New
Zealand, Australia, Hawaii and California, and the corporate support function located in New Zealand. Operating segments
are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision makers. The chief
operating decision makers, responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments,
have been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The chief operating decision
makers consider the performance of the business from a geographic perspective, while the performance of the corporate
support function is assessed separately.
The Group evaluates performance and allocates resources to its operating segments on the basis of segment assets,
segment revenues, Store EBITDA before G&A, NZ IFRS 16, other items, and operating profit. Operating profit refers to
earnings before financing expenses and taxation expense. Revenue is from external customers.
Segment assets include items directly attributable to the segment. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost
incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill. The
Group has not disclosed segment liabilities as the chief operating decision makers evaluate performance and allocate
resources purely on the basis of aggregated Group liabilities.

REVENUE AND EXPENSES
Revenue
Store sales revenue
Store sales revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at point of sale, measured at the fair value of the consideration
received, net of returns, discounts, and excluding Goods and Services Tax (GST), and Sales Tax in California and Hawaii.
14
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2024
Other revenue
Other revenue includes sale of goods and services to independent franchisees. Sale of goods, including cost of freight,
are recognised similar to store sales revenue. Sale of services is recognised over time as the independent franchisee
simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit provided by the Group. Royalties received are based on the revenue
generated by the independent franchisees, recognised over time.
Also included in other revenue is revenue related to the sale of new stores developed and constructed under contract
to franchisees. Under the terms of the contracts, the Group is contractually restricted from redirecting the properties
to another customer and has an enforceable right to payment for work done. Revenue from construction of stores is
therefore recognised over time using a cost-to-cost method (i.e. based on the portion of the contracted costs incurred
for work performed to date relative to the estimated total cost).

The Group continued to face challenges in the California and Australia divisions as a result of reduced household spending
impacting sales and margins, and the 29% increase in the minimum wage in California. As part of the portfolio optimisation
plan, four stores were closed in California which resulted in net assets write down of $0.7 million (Dec 2023: $0.6 million
relating to one store closure in Australia). A detailed review of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and right
of use assets of stores at the year end identified impairment indicators in several stores. Based on further analysis a net
impairment charge of $7.8 million was recognised during the year (Dec 2023: $9.0 million).

Security
The Group’s AUD, USD and NZD loan facilities are supported by a Common Terms Deed entered into by Restaurant Brands
New Zealand Limited and its subsidiary companies. The Common Terms Deed includes a negative pledge and cross
guarantees between the guaranteeing subsidiaries in favour of qualifying lenders.
The Group also has indemnity guarantees of $4.0 million across various properties leased in Australia and an obligation to
provide standby letters of credit totalling $4.5 million in California. The California letters of credit expired in April 2024 and
have not yet been renewed.
The Group is subject to a number of externally imposed bank covenants as part of the terms of its secured bank
loan facilities.
17
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2024
The most significant covenants relating directly to capital management are the ratio of total debt to earnings before
interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) and restrictions relating to acquiring its own shares.
The specific covenants relating to financial ratios the Group is required to meet under the facility agreements are:
•debt coverage ratio (i.e. net debt to EBITDA),
•fixed charge coverage ratio (EBITDAL
1
to fixed charges), with EBITDAL being EBITDA before lease costs, fixed charges
comprising interest and lease costs,
•guaranteeing Group assets ratio (i.e. total guaranteeing Group tangible assets to total consolidated Group tangible
assets), and
•guaranteeing Group earnings ratio (i.e. non-guaranteeing Group EBITDA to the consolidated Group EBITDA).
These ratios exclude the impact of NZ IFRS 16 – Leases but include lease payments treated as operating expenses (as was
the treatment prior to the adoption of NZ IFRS 16).
The covenants are reported to the bank on a six monthly basis, whilst the Board reviews covenant compliance on a
monthly basis.
There have been no breaches of the covenants during the current financial year (Dec 2023: no breaches). There are also no
forecast breaches of covenants.
For more information about the Group’s exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risk see note 7.
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated
at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value, if any,
is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the
effective interest method.

6. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
Financial assets
The Group classifies its financial assets as those to be measured at amortised cost (loans, receivables, and cash), and
those to be measured subsequently at fair value either through OCI or through profit or loss.
Financial assets held at amortised cost
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted
in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the
consolidated statement of financial position date. These are classified as non-current assets. The Group’s loans and
receivables comprise trade receivables, other receivables and cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statement
of financial position.
Financial assets that are stated at cost or amortised cost are reviewed individually once a year date to determine
whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Any impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Financial liabilities
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently measured at
amortised cost, and trade and other payables which are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at
amortised cost.
Financial instruments
A financial instrument is recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets are derecognised when the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire
or when the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and
rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e. the date
that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Group’s
obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Derivative financial instruments
The Group might use derivative financial instruments to manage the exposures that arise due to movements in foreign
currency exchange rates and interest rates arising from operational, financing and investment activities. The Group
does not hold derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting
are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. The Group did not have any derivative financial instruments as at
31 December 2024 (Dec 2023: nil).

7. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Exposure to market risk (credit, interest rate and foreign currency risk) as well as liquidity and capital risk, 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.
(a) Foreign currency risk
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the New Zealand
dollar. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily Australian dollars and United States dollars.
The direct exposure to foreign currency risk is small and is primarily confined to raw material purchases, some items
of property, plant and equipment and some franchise fee payments. Where any one item is significant, and considering
specific circumstances, the Group may assess hedging its currency risk exposure.
The Group has an indirect exposure to foreign currency risk on some of its locally sourced ingredients, where those
ingredients in turn have a high imported component. Where this is significant the Group contracts to a known purchase
price with its domestic supplier based on a forward cover position taken by that supplier on its imported components.
The Group has a foreign currency risk on its assets and liabilities that are denominated in Australian and US dollars as part
of its Australia and US investments.
There is currently no hedging cover in place.
(b) Interest rate risk
The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from bank loans. The Group’s loans are at fixed interest rates with terms up to
90 days. The interest rates are reset at the end of each term. As such, at balance date, the Group’s loans of $284.5 million
(Dec 2023: $289.4 million) are exposed to repricing within the next 12 months. Based on a number of scenarios, the Group
calculates the impact on profit or loss of a defined interest rate shift. Based on these scenarios the maximum loss potential
is assessed by management as to whether it is within acceptable limits.
Where necessary the Group may hedge its exposure to changes in interest rates primarily through the use of interest
rate swaps. There are guidelines as to the minimum prescribed level of hedging (zero to 100 percent), set out by the
Board, however the Board reviews all swaps before they are entered into. The Group did not have any derivative financial
instruments as at 31 December 2024 (Dec 2023: nil).
(c) Liquidity risk
In respect of the Group’s cash balances and non-derivative financial liabilities, the following table analyses the amounts into
relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at balance date to the contractual maturity date, along with their
effective interest rates at balance date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

Prudent liquidity risk management implies the availability of funding through adequate amounts of committed credit
facilities. The Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.
The Group has a negative working capital balance as the nature of the business results in most sales conducted on a
cash basis. The Group has bank funding facilities, excluding overdraft facilities, of $405.1 million (Dec 2023: $376.1 million)
available at variable rates. The amount undrawn at 31 December 2024 was $120.7 million (Dec 2023: $86.7 million) and
therefore the Group has the ability to fully pay debts as they fall due.
The Group has lease liabilities with future cash payments as disclosed in the table below:
$NZ000's31 Dec 202431 Dec 2023
Within one year71,08365,827
One to five years290,985252,695
Beyond five years872,128838,967
1,234,1961,157,489
This includes future lease options that the Group currently expects to exercise and is not discounted for the future nature of
payments, therefore, the amounts in the table do not reflect the Group’s future contractual minimum payments.
(d) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash deposits with banks and financial institutions and outstanding trade and other receivables.
No collateral is required in respect of financial assets. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit
risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. The nature of the business results in most sales being conducted on a cash basis
that significantly reduces the risk that the Group is exposed to. The Group’s bankers are used for investing and cash
handling purposes.
There were no financial assets past due nor impaired at the balance date (Dec 2023: nil).
At 31 December 2024 there were no significant concentrations of credit risk and the maximum exposure to credit risk is
represented by the carrying value of each financial asset in the consolidated statement of financial position (Dec 2023: nil).
(e) Fair values and set-off
The carrying values of bank loans are the fair value of these liabilities. A Group set-off arrangement is in place between
certain bank accounts operated by the Group.
Sensitivity analysis
In managing interest rate and currency risks the Group aims to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations on the Group’s
earnings. Over the longer term, however, permanent changes in foreign exchange and interest rates on a weighted average
balance will have an impact on profit.
21
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2024
At 31 December 2024 it is estimated that a general increase of one percentage point in interest rates would decrease the
Group profit before income tax by approximately $2.8 million (Dec 2023: $2.9 million), however equity would decrease by
$2.1 million (Dec 2023: $2.2 million). A one percentage point decrease in interest rates would increase the Group profit
before income tax by approximately $2.8 million (Dec 2023: $2.9 million), however equity would increase by $2.1 million (Dec
2023: $2.2 million).
A general increase of one percentage point in the value of the New Zealand dollar against other foreign currencies would
have minimal impact on the cost of the Group’s directly imported ingredients denominated in foreign currencies.
(f) Capital risk management
The Group’s capital comprises share capital, reserves and retained earnings.
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue to operate as a going
concern, and to maintain an optimal capital structure commensurate with risk and return and reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders,
return capital to shareholders, or issue new shares.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis to allocate the cost of an asset, less any residual value, over its
estimated useful life.
The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Leasehold improvements 5 – 25 years
Plant and equipment 3 – 12.5 years
Motor vehicles 4 – 5 years
Furniture and fittings 3 – 10 years
Computer equipment 3 – 10 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at the reporting date.
Depreciation expense is included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income within cost of goods sold,
and general and administration expenses.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in
profit or loss in the consolidated statement comprehensive income.

Significant judgements and estimates – store impairment testing
Impairment testing involves significant estimates and judgements. The outcome of impairment tests may result in a
material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the Group’s assets.
Impairment charge is recognised in other expenses in the consolidated statement of the comprehensive income.
Store assets include property, plant and equipment, right of use assets and intangible assets. The Group reviews
store assets for impairment indicators at each reporting period. Impairment is assessed at the assets’ cash-generating
unit (CGU) level, which is the smallest group of assets that generates independent cash inflows. Management has
determined that individual stores are cash generating units for the purpose of assessing impairment for store assets.
An impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income when the asset’s carrying
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is based on the CGU’s fair value less costs of disposal
or value in use.
The stores showing an impairment using the value in use method are retested using fair value less cost of disposal
and the higher result of the two is applied. The value in use calculation evaluates recoverability based on the store’s
forecasted cash flows, which incorporate estimated sales growth and expected margin based upon the latest plans
for the store. Fair value less costs of disposal was determined by discounting the future net cash flows generated
from the continuing use of the CGUs, less disposal cost of 1% of the recoverable amount. If, in a subsequent period,
the amount of the impairment decreases due to an increase in the service potential of an asset after the impairment
was recognised, the reversal of the previously recognised impairment is recognised in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income.
Key assumptions in the determination of recoverable amount are:
•the estimate of future cash flows of the store incorporating estimated sales growth and expected margin.
•the discount rate based on the weighted average cost of capital reflecting the current market assessment of the time
value of money and the business risk of the cash generating unit.
•the terminal growth rate assumption reflects the long-term projected inflation relevant to the specific region/market.
Estimates of future cash flows are highly subjective being based on management’s judgement and can be significantly
impacted by changes in the business or economic conditions.
Following a review of store performance and consideration of other impairment indicators, the Group determined that
there were stores across all four segments that required a calculation of the recoverable amount as there were impairment
indicators that mainly arose due to inflationary pressures on the financial performance.

*Included in the net impairment value of $7.8 million in 2024 is $1.5 million relating to the impairment of intangible assets
(Dec 2023: $2.1 million).
Based on the calculations, an impairment of $7.8 million was recognised during the financial year (Dec 2023: $9.0 million)
against property, plant and equipment and intangible assets in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as
part of other expenses. This comprised eleven stores with recoverable amounts lower than their respective carrying value
of assets.
The Group also evaluated stores’ assets which have been previously impaired to determine whether the conditions that
gave rise to the initial impairments still existed at the balance date. A recalculation is performed to reassess the recoverable
amount and determine if the headroom exists. For the stores that have demonstrated positive sustainable trading results,
management may conclude there is sufficient evidence to support an impairment reversal. There was no impairment
reversal recognised due to the improved performance for the year ended 31 December 2024 (Dec 2023: nil).

LEASES
Key estimates and judgements
There are several judgements and estimates in calculating the future lease liabilities and right of use asset value.
These include:
•incremental borrowing rate. The Group engages an independent valuation expert to establish the incremental
borrowing rates applied during the period.
•lease terms, including any rights of renewal expected to be exercised. The Group has assumed that all rights
of renewal are expected to be exercised which is consistent with the Group’s strategy and previous leases. This
judgement has been applied unless a store closure or a decision to relocate a store is known when valuing the lease.

Additions relate to new leases entered into by the Group.
The Group's leases relate to land and buildings. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 1 to 50 years
but may have extension options. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different
terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as
security for borrowing purposes.
Under NZ IFRS 16, leases are recognised as a right of use asset with a corresponding lease liability. Each lease
payment is allocated between the lease liability and the finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the statement of
comprehensive income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining
balance of the liability for each period. The right of use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and
the lease term on a straight line basis.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the
net present value of fixed payments and known fixed lease increases, less any lease incentives receivable. Right of use
assets are measured at cost comprising the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability and any restoration
costs. These assets are subsequently depreciated using the straight line method from the commencement date to the
end of the lease term.
The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index, rate or market rent
review, which are not included in the lease liability or right of use asset until they take effect.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the
lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds
necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.
The Group has applied the recognition exemption allowed by the standard in respect of short-term and low
value leases.
Payments associated with short term leases and leases of low value assets are recognised on a straight line basis as an
expense in the statement of comprehensive income. Short term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.
Low value assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and business combinations. Goodwill is measured at cost less
accumulated impairment losses and has an indefinite useful life. Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units and is
tested annually for impairment. Where the Group disposes of an operation within a CGU, the goodwill associated with
the operation disposed of is part of the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed of in this manner is measured based
on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the CGU retained.
Franchise fees
Franchise fees are costs incurred in obtaining franchise rights or licences to operate quick service and takeaway
restaurant concepts. They include for example, the initial fee paid to a system franchisor when a new store is opened.
These are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment costs. Amortisation is on a
straight line basis over the life of the applicable franchise or licence agreement.
Concept development costs
Concept development costs include certain costs, other than the direct cost of obtaining the franchise, associated with
the establishment of quick service and takeaway restaurant concepts. These include, for example, professional fees and
consulting costs associated with the establishment of a new brand or business acquisition. These costs are capitalised
where the concept is proven to be commercially feasible and the related future economic benefits are expected to
exceed those costs with reasonable certainty. These are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation
and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight line basis over the period which future
economic benefits are reasonably expected to be derived.
Acquired software costs
Software costs have a finite useful life. Software costs are capitalised and amortised on a straight line basis over the
estimated economic life of 3-8 years.
Amortisation
Amortisation charge is recognised in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Impairment
Impairment charge is recognised in other expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Significant judgements and estimates – impairment testing
Impairment testing involves significant estimates and judgements. The outcome of impairment tests can result in a
material adjustment to the carrying amount of the Group’s goodwill balances.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the Group’s operating brands which represent the CGU
within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.

In 2024 the recoverable amount of each CGU was based on fair value less costs of disposal approach. Fair value less
costs of disposal was determined by discounting the future net cash flows generated from the continuing use of the CGU,
less disposal cost of 2% of the recoverable amount. The cash flow inputs are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair
value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs, including own credit risk. Cash flows were projected based on the
2025–2028 financial plan as approved by the Board of Directors.
The key assumptions used in the impairment testing are as follows:

The terminal growth rate is calculated on a CGU basis, based on the 2028 year and assumes a continuous sales growth
equal to the minimum of projected inflation estimates of 2.1% to 2.5% (Dec 2023: 2.1% to 2.5%).
The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future trends in the industry and
are based on both external sources and internal sources including Board approved forecasts (historical data). The key
assumptions are detailed below:
•Store Sales growth – Average annual growth rate over the four-year forecast period based on past performance,
management’s expectations of market development, current industry trends and including long-term inflation forecasts
for each territory.
•Store EBITDA margin 2025–2028. Based on past performance and management’s expectations for the future. Store
EBITDA growth has been disclosed as a key assumption as a number of costs are variable and link directly to revenue
levels, such as the cost of labour, and food costs. Other fixed costs of the CGUs, which do not vary significantly with
revenue changes, are forecast based on the current structure of the business, adjusting for inflationary increases.
•Terminal growth rate – This is the growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the budget period. The rates are
consistent with expected long-term inflation for each territory in which the CGU operates.
•Discount rate – The rate used to reflect specific risks relating to the relevant segments and the countries in which
they operate.
In respect of the following CGUs any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions used in the calculations would not
cause the carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount:
•New Zealand KFC
•New Zealand Pizza Hut

No impairment was recognised in this financial year for the California CGU goodwill, however, a decrease to 3.7%-7.3%
for the Store EBITDA margin percentage assumption would result in the carrying amount being equal to the recoverable
amount (breakeven point).

OTHER NOTES
17. TAXATION
Current and deferred taxes are calculated on the basis of tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at reporting date
and are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity, respectively.
Deferred income tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities
and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements.
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the
balance date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred tax
liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable
amounts will be available against which to utilise those temporary differences.
The Group offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to
set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to
income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which
intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities
simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be
settled or recovered.
Tax returns for the Group and the detailed calculations that are required for filing tax returns are not prepared until
after the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Estimates of these calculations are made for the purpose of
calculating income tax expense, current tax and deferred tax balances. Any difference between the final tax outcomes
and the estimations made in previous years will affect current year balances.
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income and statements of cash flows have been prepared exclusive of
GST. All items in the consolidated statement of financial position are stated net of GST, with the exception of receivables
and payables, which are inclusive of GST.

OECD Pillar Two model rules
The Group is within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two model rules, also referred to as GloBE (Global anti-Base Erosion). As of
31 December 2024 the Pillar Two legislation was enacted in New Zealand, the jurisdiction in which Restaurant Brands New
Zealand Limited is incorporated. The rules will come into effect in New Zealand from 1 January 2025. The Group applies the
NZ IAS 12 exception to recognising and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two
income taxes. Under the legislation, the Group is liable to pay a top-up tax for the difference between the GloBE effective
tax rate for each jurisdiction and the 15% minimum rate. Pillar Two is effective in Australia from 1 January 2024 and although
the legislation has not yet been enacted in the USA, the Group has effective tax rates that exceed 15% in all jurisdictions in
which it operates. Based on the status of the implementation process and the effective tax rate above 15% the rules are not
expected to have a material impact.
Imputation credits
The below amounts represent the balance of the imputation account as at the end of the reporting period, adjusted for:
•Imputation credits that will arise from the payment of the amount of the provision for income tax;
•Imputation credits that will be utilised from the payment of dividends recognised as a liability at the reporting date; and
•Imputation credits that will arise from the receipt of dividends recognised as receivables at the reporting date.
The current and deferred tax rates for the period were calculated using rates of 28% for New Zealand, 30% for Australia, 28%
for California, and 26% for Hawaii (Dec 2023: 28% New Zealand, 30% Australia, 28% for California and 26% for Hawaii).

In December 2023, Gordon Legal and Shine Lawyers filed two class actions in the Federal Court of Australia on behalf of
certain KFC employees naming the franchisor, QSR Pty Limited (the Group’s Australian operating subsidiary) and 88 other
franchisees as respondents. The two class actions were subsequently combined into a single proceeding. It is expected that
mediation proceedings will commence in relation to the claim in 2025 with an initial trial process to follow in the event that
the parties fail to reach an agreement to resolve the matter during mediation. As at balance date, there was no material
impact to the consolidated financial statements, however the Group will continue to assess the claim and will update the
market in the event that the claim is expected to have a material impact on the Group.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the shareholders of Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited
OUR OPINION
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements (the financial statements) of Restaurant Brands New
Zealand Limited (the Company), including its subsidiaries (the Group), present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Group as at 31 December 2024, its financial performance, and its cash flows for the year then ended
in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and International
Financial Reporting Standards Accounting Standards (IFRS Accounting Standards).
What we have audited
The Group's financial statements comprise:
•the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024;
•the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;
•the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
•the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and
•the notes to the financial statements, comprising material accounting policy information and other
explanatory information.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)) and
International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the
Auditor’s
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for
Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including
International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code),
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
In our capacity as auditor and assurance practitioner, our firm provides other assurance services and agreed-upon
procedures. Our firm also provides another service relating to the provision of a whistleblower line. The firm has no other
relationship with, or interests in, the Group.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the
financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Description of the key audit matter
Goodwill impairment assessment - KFC and Taco
Bell California
Goodwill recognised in relation to the KFC and Taco
Bell California cash-generating unit (CGU) amounted to
$34.0 million as at
31 December 2024 (2023: $30.0 million).
During the year, this CGU incurred a net loss after tax
of $24.7 million (refer to note 1 of the consolidated
financial statements).
Our audit focused on this CGU as its financial performance
has continued to be adversely impacted by cost pressures
combined with the inherent judgement involved in
estimating future business performance.
Management performed an annual impairment assessment
to determine the recoverable amount using a discounted
cash flow model under a Fair Value Less Cost of Disposal
(FVLCOD) approach. This was based on the 4-year financial
plan approved by the Board of Directors. The output was
compared to the carrying amount of the associated net
assets, including goodwill held by the KFC and Taco Bell
California CGU.
The recoverable amount (based on the FVLCOD model)
was higher than the carrying value and as a result,
no impairment expense was recognised. However,
management identified a certain scenario where a
reasonably possible change in the store EBITDA margin
would result in the carrying amount being equal to its
recoverable amount.
Refer to note 16 of the consolidated financial statements.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our procedures in relation to management’s assessment of
goodwill impairment for the KFC and Taco Bell California
CGU, included the following:
•updating our understanding of the business
process applied by management in performing the
impairment test;
•reviewing prior year actual store sales and profitability
against the original budgeted performance to assess
management’s ability to accurately forecast;
•agreeing forecast future performance included in the
FVLCOD impairment assessment to the 4-year financial
plan approved by the Board of Directors;
•challenging key estimates and assumptions used in
the FVLCOD model in relation to: store sales growth,
store EBITDA margin, terminal growth rate and discount
rate and assessing whether these are reasonable with
reference to management initiatives and strategies,
recent monthly financial performance and the risks for
the CGU;
•evaluating whether corporate costs had been allocated
appropriately and included in the cash flows for the CGU;
•engaging our auditor’s valuation expert to assess
the reasonableness of the terminal growth rate and
discount rate;
•reviewing industry trends and external market forecasts
for the industry to determine the reasonableness of
management’s forecast;
•testing the calculations and mathematical accuracy of
the FVLCOD model, including the inputs and compared
the recoverable amount to the carrying value of the
CGU’s assets;
•evaluating management’s sensitivity analysis to
ascertain the impact of reasonably possible changes in
key assumptions;
•performing sensitivity analysis and stress testing based
on changes in certain assumptions to evaluate whether
there was an impairment; and
•assessing the adequacy of disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED)
To the shareholders of Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited
Description of the key audit matter
Impairment assessment of store property, plant and
equipment, intangible assets and right of use assets
For the year ended 31 December 2024, the Group
recognised impairment of $7.8 million (2023: $9.0 million)
in relation to CGUs in the New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii
and California regions (refer to note 2 of the consolidated
financial statements). For the purposes of store property,
plant, and equipment, intangible assets and right of
use asset impairment testing, each individual store is
considered to be a separate CGU.
An assessment was performed by management to identify
stores with impairment indicators. This included those
that have experienced continued losses. For these stores,
management performed Value In Use (VIU) and/or FVLCOD
calculations to assess whether the associated carrying
amounts of property, plant and equipment, intangible
assets and right of use assets were recoverable.
Key assumptions used in management’s discounted cash
flow model are store sales growth, store EBITDA margin,
store EBITDA margin terminal year, terminal growth rate
and discount rate.
This is a key focus of our audit due to the value of property,
plant and equipment, intangible assets and right of use
assets held by the Group.
Refer to notes 14 and 16 of the consolidated
financial statements.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our audit procedures included:
•considering whether the group of assets identified by
management as a CGU is appropriate and recalculating
the carrying value of each CGU;
•updating our understanding of the process applied by
management in identifying stores with potential for
impairment and the resulting impairment assessments;
•in addition to stores identified by management, we
developed independent risk assessment criteria to
identify stores with a greater risk of impairment such as
larger asset carrying value stores experiencing sustained
losses and compared to those identified by management
for impairment testing;
•for a sample of stores identified above, we tested
the mathematical accuracy of the VIU and/or FVLCOD
impairment models prepared by management and
challenged key assumptions used: store sales growth,
store EBITDA margin and store EBITDA margin terminal
year, by assessing whether management’s assumptions
were reasonable against historical performance and
whether they take account of ongoing uncertainty from
economic challenges. This includes considering the
potential for future store closures and the impact of
closures on remaining lease terms in respect of right of
use assets recognised;
•engaging our own auditor’s valuation expert to assess
the reasonableness of the terminal growth rates and
discount rates;
•evaluating the feasibility of management’s plans to
improve store profitability;
•evaluating management’s sensitivity analysis to
ascertain the impact of reasonably possible changes in
key assumptions on the recoverable amount; and
•assessing the adequacy of disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements.

To the shareholders of Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited
Description of the key audit matter
Revenue recognition
The Group’s revenue totalled $1.5 billion (2023: $1.4 billion)
for the year ended 31 December 2024. The Group
primarily earns revenue from store sales, which accounts
for approximately 95% of total revenue, while other
revenue includes sale of goods and services to
independent franchisees.
Refer to notes 1 and 2 of the consolidated
financial statements.
Given the volume of transactions and significance of
revenue recognised across four regions, this required
significant auditor attention and was considered to be a key
audit matter.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our audit approach to test revenue is a combination
of controls and substantive testing and included the
following procedures:
•updating our understanding of the systems, processes
and controls in place underpinning the accounting and
recognition of revenue in each region;
•testing, on a sample basis, management’s controls over
the reconciliations of the point-of-sale-systems, general
ledger and bank statements;
•verifying the completeness of revenue recognised, on
a sample basis, by agreeing daily cash received to the
general ledger;
•for store sales revenue, evaluating the flow of revenue
journals to validate that revenue transactions are
settled in cash. For those not settled in cash, agreeing
accounting entries to supporting documents, on a
sample basis;
•for a sample of other revenue transactions, examining
invoices issued to independent franchisees and cash
remittances, where paid;
•performing analytics on franchise fees and royalties to
verify completeness of other revenue transactions;
•testing bank and bank clearing account reconciliations
at year end by agreeing material reconciling items to
supporting documents; and
•assessing the adequacy of disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements.
44
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED)
To the shareholders of Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited
OUR AUDIT APPROACH
Overview
Overall group materiality: $7.4 million, which represents approximately 0.5%
of total revenue.
We chose total revenue as the benchmark because, in our view, it is the
benchmark against which the performance of the Group is most commonly
measured by users, and is a generally accepted benchmark.
Following our assessment of the risk of material misstatement, we:
•performed full scope audits for all the Group’s principal business units
which correspond to its market segments in New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii
and California based on their financial significance; and
•performed specified audit procedures and analytical procedures over the
remaining entities and on consolidation entries.
As reported above, we have three key audit matters, being:
•Goodwill impairment assessment - KFC and Taco Bell California
•Impairment assessment of store property, plant and equipment, intangible
assets and right of use assets
•Revenue recognition
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial
statements. In particular, we considered where management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of
significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently
uncertain. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among
other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due
to fraud.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or
error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall
Group materiality for the financial statements as a whole as set out above. These, together with qualitative considerations,
helped us to determine the scope of our audit, the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures, and to evaluate the
effect of misstatements, both individually and in the aggregate, on the financial statements as a whole.
45
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED)
To the shareholders of Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited
How we tailored our group audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the financial
statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the
industry in which the Group operates.
We performed full scope audits for all of the Group’s principal business units in New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii
and California.
The materiality levels applied in the full scope audits of the principal business units were calculated by reference to a portion
of Group materiality appropriate to the relative scale of the business concerned.
OTHER INFORMATION
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the
Annual Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The other information we
obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report comprised the Historical Summary, Group Pro Forma Profit Statement,
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and the Directors’ Report. The remaining other information comprising the Annual Report is
expected to be made available to us after that date.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of
audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in
the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report,
we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have
nothing to report in this regard.
When we read the other information not yet received, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are
required to communicate the matter to the Directors and use our professional judgement to determine the appropriate
action to take.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as the Directors
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and using the going concern basis of accounting
unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

To the shareholders of Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements, as a whole, are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) and ISAs
will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users
taken on the basis of these financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the External Reporting
Board’s website at:
https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards/assurance-standards/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1-1/
This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
WHO WE REPORT TO

FY25 Expectations
23
•
New Zealand to continue growing with similar new
store builds. Hawaii to maintain strong position.
•
Australia positioned to recover during second half of
FY25 as inflationary pressures ease.
•
California recovering with new innovation, digital
channel growth and margin initiatives.
•
Capex spend expected to continue at FY24 levels on
mix of new stores, refurbishments and technology.
FY25 Outlook
25
Dividend update
•
Given the demands of the store development programme on the Group’s
capital resources and ongoing cost of living pressures on consumer’s
spending Directors believe it is in the best interests of the Group to retain
cash in order to support growth and maintain funding flexibility, therefore
the Directors have not deemed it appropriate to declare a final dividend
payment for FY24.
Profit guidance
•
No guidance at present given ongoing economic volatility in the markets.
