Message from Marcelo Rabach, Chief Executive Officer

Today we are reporting another quarter of record sales and profitability. These broad-based and sustainable results are a testament to the structural competitive advantages we have been building for years and the focused execution of our Three-D’s (Digital, Delivery and Drive-thru) strategy. Revenue reached nearly $790 million in the quarter, with systemwide comparable sales up 42% on the back of strong volume growth and continued market share gains within a consolidating marketplace. Digital sales (Delivery, Mobile App and Self-order Kiosks) contributed 38% of the quarter’s sales and included the highest-ever US dollar sales totals for Delivery, Self-order Kiosks and Order Ahead.

Revenue management (including pricing, product mix and segmentation) plus a highly-localized supply chain and efficient operation drove significant operating leverage across all cost and expense line items. Adjusted EBITDA was a record for a first quarter and the trailing twelve month result is now the highest in our history.

The Company’s balance sheet and cash generation are very strong. After the quarter ended, we became the first quick-service restaurant operator in the world to issue a Sustainability-Linked Bond (SLB). As a result, the average maturity of our long-term debt has been extended to 6.0 years, with no major maturities until September of 2027.

We are proud of the Recipe of the Future ESG platform we developed several years ago and this SLB proves once-again that we are committed to the targets we established to have a positive influence on the communities we serve and the planet as a whole. These commitments are good for business, as demonstrated by the lowest spread over US Treasuries ever for an Arcos Dorados long-term debt instrument. But, more importantly, tying our financial strategy to our long-term climate change commitments is the right thing to do.

We began 2022 with a strong pace of growth, opening 16 restaurants, including 14 free-standing units and 10 restaurants in Brazil. We have worked hard to increase the size and accelerate the pace of the openings pipeline. Based on the current run-rate, we expect to exceed restaurant opening and capital expenditure guidance for 2022.

We are very encouraged by the results we are reporting today and strongly believe they will be sustainable over time. Both Arcos Dorados and the McDonald’s brand in Latin America and the Caribbean are in a very strong competitive position.

Arcos Dorados’ consolidated results may continue to be impacted by Venezuela’s macroeconomic volatility, including the ongoing hyperinflationary environment, which has historically led the Company to record significant non-cash accounting charges to operations in this market. As such, the discussion of the Company’s operating performance continues to be focused on consolidated results that exclude Venezuela both at the Consolidated level as well as for the South Latin American Division.

First quarter net income attributable to the Company totaled $24.5 million, compared to net loss of $29.7 million in the same period of 2021. Arcos Dorados’ recorded earnings of $0.12 per share in the first quarter of 2022 compared to a net loss of $(0.14) per share in the corresponding 2021 period. Total weighted average shares for the first quarter of 2022 amounted to 210,478,322 compared to 210,226,699 in the prior year’s quarter.

Total revenues in US dollars increased 40.2%, or 45.0% in constant currency, versus the prior year period. Systemwide comparable sales rose 42% in the quarter, with strong sales growth in all divisions. Drive-thru and Delivery sales continued to support top-line growth, increasing 13% and 29% in constant currency, respectively, on top of robust growth in the prior year and despite the recovery of on-premise sales segments: front counter, dessert centers and McCafé.

On-premise sales continued to recover, growing 81% versus the prior year in constant currency. With that, 46% of systemwide sales were generated in off-premise channels and 54% in the on-premise segments in the first quarter 2022. Digital, which includes sales from Delivery, Mobile App and Self-order kiosks generated 38% of systemwide sales in the quarter, with a 54% growth versus the prior year, reaching 40% of the Company’s total sales in March 2022, its highest monthly sales in absolute terms.

By the end of March, the Company’ Mobile App registered 69 million downloads and was, by far, the leader in monthly active users among quick service restaurant operators. Increasingly personalized digital marketing initiatives generated greater guest frequency and helped drive sales growth in the quarter.

Finally, results in the quarter were supported by strong consumer preference for the McDonald’s Brand experience. Guest perception of key brand attributes, including favorite brand, improved across the Company’s footprint, with market share growth ahead of all other chained quick service restaurant brands.

Adjusted EBITDA – Excluding Venezuela ($million)

Breakdown of main variations contributing to 1Q22 Adjusted EBITDA

First quarter consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, excluding Venezuela, reached $79.6 million. Trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA was $329.9 million, the highest in the Company’s history. Strong, traffic-driven sales growth generated operating leverage in all divisions. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin was up 5.7 percentage points versus the first quarter of 2021, with all divisions exceeding pre-pandemic margin levels, reflecting successful revenue and cost management. Importantly, all divisions also exceeded pre-pandemic Adjusted EBITDA levels in US dollar terms.

Consolidated G&A expenses declined by 90 basis points as a percentage of sales versus the prior year quarter as a result of strong revenue growth.

Notable items in the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation

Included in Adjusted EBITDA: There were no material variations.

Excluded from Adjusted EBITDA: There were no material variations.

Non-operating Results - excluding Venezuela

Arcos Dorados’ non-operating results for the first quarter included a non-cash foreign currency exchange gain of $15.8 million and an $11.7 million loss from Derivative Instruments, both due to the appreciation of the Brazilian Real in the period. Net interest expense was $1.6 million lower year-over-year. The Company recorded an income tax expense of $17.2 million in the first quarter, compared to an income tax benefit of $0.1 million in the prior-year period.

First quarter net income attributable to the Company totaled $25.9 million, compared to net loss of $28.0 million in the prior-year period. Earnings per share were $0.12 in the first quarter 2022 compared to net loss per share of $(0.13) in the prior year quarter.

As reported revenues increased 53.5% versus the first quarter 2021, reaching $312.0 million. Traffic rose strongly year-over-year, partly due to the impact of renewed government restrictions on the prior year period’s sales volume in March. The appreciation of the Brazilian real also helped improve US dollar revenue growth. On a constant currency basis, revenues grew 46.1%, supported by 39.0% higher systemwide comparable sales.

First quarter marketing activities in Brazil built sales and traffic growth momentum, with important campaigns designed to boost brand affinity among younger guests. The “Méquizices” campaign featured some of Brazil’s top music celebrities describing their favorite McDonald’s orders. The sponsorship of Big Brother Brazil, the country’s most popular reality television show, fueled sales across the Three D’s: Digital, Delivery and Drive Thru. Families enjoyed the exclusive “Disney 50th Anniversary” collection in the Happy Meal, driving unit sales growth in the quarter.

As reported Adjusted EBITDA in the division reached $46.0 million in the quarter, benefitting from an 8.1 percentage point improvement in Adjusted EBITDA margin versus the prior year quarter, or 1.0 percentage point higher versus the pre-pandemic first quarter 2019. Margins benefitted from operating leverage generated by the strong growth in sales. This included gross margin expansion despite cost pressures.

As reported revenues were $203.9 million, up 17.3% in US dollars and 19.6% in constant currency versus the prior year quarter. Notably, this US dollar result was almost 30% higher than the pre-pandemic first quarter of 2019. NOLAD markets maintained the strong performance trends established in 2021 thanks mostly to the continuing recovery in guest volume. Systemwide comparable sales rose 24.1% year-over-year, driven primarily by Mexico and Panama.

Marketing activities in NOLAD mostly focused on core menu items in the quarter. Mexico reinforced the chicken category with the introduction of “Spicy Chicken McNuggets” and the “McCrispy Spicy Deluxe”. Costa Rica drove customer excitement with the “El Incomparable Big Mac” campaign and, after a 2-year hiatus, we successfully re-introduced a seasonal favorite, the Filet-o-Fish, in Costa Rica, Panama and Puerto Rico.

As reported Adjusted EBITDA reached $21.4 million in the first quarter compared with $13.8 million in the prior year quarter, representing a year-over-year increase of 54.7%, or 59.2% on a constant currency basis. Similar to revenue, the US dollar Adjusted EBITDA result was higher than the pre-pandemic first quarter of 2019. First quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA margin rose by 2.5 percentage points against 2021, including efficiencies in all line items.

Revenues in SLAD, excluding Venezuela, increased 48.5% in US dollars, or 68.3% in constant currency terms. Systemwide comparable sales rose 64.3%, more than double the blended inflation in the period. Performance was strong across the division, especially in Argentina, Chile and Colombia where volume growth was robust.

First quarter marketing activities in SLAD also centered on core offerings. In Argentina, the “Más Sabor, Más Fun” campaign drove an increase in Big Mac sales while markets like Chile and Colombia focused on strengthening the chicken category. Most markets’ family business benefitted from the Company’s exclusive licensing agreement with Disney. Finally, Drive-thru and Delivery remained very strong in the Division, reaching all time sales records in many markets.

As reported Adjusted EBITDA reached $31.5 million, compared with $10.4 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 11.6%, or 5.9 percentage points higher than the prior year quarter. Food & Paper costs remained stable, with all other cost and expense line items declining as a percentage of sales in the period.

Recent Developments

Sustainability-Linked Bond

On April 27, 2022, the Company became the first quick service restaurant operator in the world to link its financial strategy to its environmental objectives when its subsidiary, Arcos Dorados B.V., issued a Sustainability-Linked Bond (SLB) for an aggregate principal amount of $350 million. Maturing on May 27, 2029 the SLB bears interest of 6.125% per year, representing the lowest spread over US Treasuries in the Company’s history. The proceeds of this liability management transaction are being used to re-purchase most of the Company’s outstanding 2023 bond and to fund a tender offer of $150 million of its outstanding 2027 bond.

The bond includes Sustainability Performance Targets (SPT) that must be achieved by 2025 against a 2021 baseline. SPT 1 is for a 15% absolute reduction of Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. SPT 2 is for a 10% reduction in the intensity of Scope 3 GHG emissions. Both SPT 1 and SPT 2 will be measured and reported by a third-party expert, South Pole Carbon Asset Management Ltd.

If one of the SPT’s is not achieved, then the interest rate on the SLB will increase by 12.5 basis points. If neither SPT is achieved, then the interest rate will increase by 25 basis points.

Definitions

Systemwide comparable sales growth: refers to the change, measured in constant currency, in our Company-operated and franchised restaurant sales in one period from a comparable period for restaurants that have been open for thirteen months or longer (year-over-year basis). While sales by our franchisees are not recorded as revenues by us, we believe the information is important in understanding our financial performance because these sales are the basis on which we calculate and record franchised revenues and are indicative of the financial health of our franchisee base.

Constant currency basis: refers to amounts calculated using the same exchange rate over the periods under comparison to remove the effects of currency fluctuations from this trend analysis. To better discern underlying business trends, this release uses non-GAAP financial measures that segregate year-over-year growth into two categories: (i) currency translation, (ii) constant currency growth. (i) Currency translation reflects the impact on growth of the appreciation or depreciation of the local currencies in which we conduct our business against the US dollar (the currency in which our financial statements are prepared). (ii) Constant currency growth reflects the underlying growth of the business excluding the effect from currency translation.

Excluding Venezuela basis: due to the ongoing political and macroeconomic uncertainty prevailing in Venezuela, and in order to provide greater clarity and visibility on the Company’s financial and operating overall performance, this release focuses on the results on an “Excluding-Venezuela” basis, which is non-GAAP measure.

Adjusted EBITDA: In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with the general accepted accounting principles (GAAP), within this press release and the accompanying tables, we use a non-GAAP financial measure titled ‘Adjusted EBITDA’. We use Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as our operating income plus depreciation and amortization plus/minus the following losses/gains included within other operating income (expenses), net, and within general and administrative expenses in our statement of income: gains from sale, equity method investments, or insurance recovery of property and equipment; write-offs of property and equipment; impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill; and reorganization and optimization plan expenses.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations such as capital structures (affecting net interest expense and other financial charges), taxation (affecting income tax expense) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense), which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Figures 10 and 11 of this earnings release include a reconciliation for Adjusted EBITDA. For more information, please see Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation in Note 9 – Segment and geographic information – of our financial statements (6-K Form) filed today with the S.E.C.
