**Message from Marcelo Rabach, Chief Executive Officer**

We closed out Arcos Dorados' best year ever with our best quarter ever thanks to disciplined execution of the Three D's strategy, the best Brand in the QSR industry and the structural competitive advantage of our free-standing restaurant portfolio. We believe these factors, together with a commitment to continuous innovation, will drive financial outperformance for the foreseeable future. Our industry-leading Digital platform offers guests greater choices for how to enjoy the McDonald's experience and the Brand's connection with families remains at the core of its appeal. As a result, we are seeing very strong growth in on-premise sales, which represented 58% of sales during the fourth quarter 2022, even though off-premise sales growth remains very strong as well.

As guest habits changed over the last two years, we adapted to those changes and met our guests on their own terms. They responded with incredible sales growth, leading to market share gains across all main markets with an average increase of more than four percentage points versus 2021. And the Brand also benefitted, with improved scores in 24 of the 25 brand attributes we track.

Profitability has also never been higher, with full year Adjusted EBITDA growth of 41.8% versus 2021 and our highest consolidated EBITDA margin in history. This led to significant cash flow growth as well, and our balance sheet remains very healthy with a net leverage ratio of just 1.0x. Of course, our balance sheet includes the milestone 2029 Sustainability-Linked Bond we issued in May 2022, reinforcing our commitment to ESG by linking greenhouse gas emission reduction targets to our financing strategy.

Finally, we exceeded our restaurant opening and remodeling targets, with 66 new McDonald's restaurants opening their doors in 2022 and more than 110 Experience of the Future modernizations completed in the year.

Most importantly, 2023 is off to a fast start and we believe the best is yet to come.

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.

**Notable items in the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation**

<u>Included in Adjusted EBITDA:</u> In the fourth quarter of 2021, Other operating income / (expense) included a $3.7 million credit related to payroll taxes in Brazil and a $5.5 million non-cash positive impact related to the fair value of restaurant businesses contributed to an investment with a sub-franchisee in Mexico.

<u>Excluded from Adjusted EBITDA:</u> In the fourth quarter 2021, the Company incurred $4.8 million in reorganization and optimization expenses within its General & Administrative expenses (G&A), due to its divisional reorganization as of October 2021.

Fourth quarter net income attributable to the Company totaled $54.5 million, compared to net income of $45.6 million in the same period of 2021. Arcos Dorados' recorded earnings of $0.26 per share in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to net income of $0.22 per share in the corresponding 2021 period. Total weighted average shares for the fourth quarter of 2022 amounted to 210,594,545 compared to 210,478,322 in the prior year's quarter.

Arcos Dorados' structural competitive advantages in Drive-thru and Delivery, together with the expansion of Digital sales and the continuous recovery in on-premise volume drove strong sales growth. Total revenues in US dollars increased 30.3%, or 41.8% in constant currency, versus the prior year period. Systemwide comparable sales for the fourth quarter rose 35.7%.

The Company's off-premise channels demonstrated their enduring popularity with guests. Drive-thru and Delivery grew 17% and 52%, respectively, in constant currency in the fourth quarter on top of very strong growth in the prior year. On-premise sales also continued to recover, growing about 48% versus the prior year in constant currency. With that, 42% of systemwide sales in the fourth quarter 2022 were generated in off-premise channels and 58% in the on-premise channels.

Digital, which helps drive sales across all channels, generated 44% of sales in the fourth quarter, reaching $580.0 million, a new quarterly sales record in absolute terms. Full year Digital sales also reached an all-time high of $1.9 billion, up 55% versus the prior year. The incremental nature and continued success of Digital sales support the Company's long-term approach to generating sustainable revenue growth.

The Company's App is currently available in 18 markets and over 2,300 restaurants, reaching more than 87 million cumulative downloads by the end of 2022. The App has more than 14 million average monthly active users and, in December, identifiable sales represented 17% of the Company's total sales.

In addition, Arcos Dorados' CRM (Customer Relationship Management) platform, with more than 67 million unique registered users by the end of December, continues to grow. The platform provides convenient solutions, combined with insights from the Company's data analytics capabilities, driving a more personalized experience with a higher guest lifetime value.

**Adjusted EBITDA – Excluding Venezuela**

**4Q22 Adjusted EBITDA Bridge<br> *($ million)***

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $115.1 million reflects 21.3% underlying US dollar growth versus the prior year, excluding notable items from the fourth quarter 2021 and adjusting for the final step up in the royalty rate that impacted the fourth quarter 2022.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin was down 3.1 percentage points versus the prior year quarter. Excluding notable items from the fourth quarter 2021 result and adjusting for the final step up in the royalty rate from the Company's Master Franchise Agreement with McDonald's Corporation, the consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin was down just 90 basis points.

Gross margin remained healthy despite higher Food & Paper (F&P) costs. Payroll expenses rose partly due to the discontinuation of certain government subsidies from 2021. Royalties were higher due to the final step-up in the company's royalty rate. These effects were partly offset by operating leverage in the Company's Occupancy & Other Operating expenses as well as its G&A expenses, which improved 120 basis points as a percentage of revenue compared with the prior year period.

**Non-operating Results - excluding Venezuela** 

Arcos Dorados' non-operating results for the fourth quarter included a $5.9 million loss from non-cash foreign exchange and derivative instruments.

Net interest expense and other financing results was $8.8 million lower year-over-year. The Company recorded an income tax expense of $20.1 million in the fourth quarter, compared to an income tax expense of $23.2 million in the prior-year period.

Fourth quarter net income attributable to the Company totaled $55.7 million, compared to net income of $47.2 million in the prior year period. Earnings per share were $0.26 in the fourth quarter 2022 compared to net income per share of $0.22 in the prior year quarter.

Brazil's revenues reached $406.3 million, the division's highest ever for a single quarter. Systemwide comparable sales rose 21.9% versus the prior year, or 3.6x inflation in the period.

Digital sales in Brazil also reached new quarterly and full year records of $328.6 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, up 55% and 60% versus the prior year. By the end of 2022, digital sales represented 52% of systemwide sales in the division.

Marketing campaigns included the launch of eight sandwiches celebrating the FIFA World Cup in October, driving record sales in the month. As the tournament approached, additional marketing campaigns and partnerships with local celebrities and sports personalities helped drive additional sales growth. In addition, Black Friday delivered a historical record in digital sales for a single day, with the McDonald's App reaching the second position among all downloaded Apps in Brazil. Growth in own digital channels (Mobile Order and Pay and McDelivery) was an impressive 41% versus the prior-year quarter.

Notably, the McDonald's Brand ended the year with its highest ever brand preference metrics in the country, reflecting the emotional connection the Company is making with its Brazilian guests.

As reported Adjusted EBITDA in the division reached $81.2 million in the quarter, rising 6.8% versus the prior year in US dollars. Ongoing Adjusted EBITDA rose 19.4% in the period, excluding the $3.7 million tax credit from the prior year result and adjusting for the final step-up in the Company's royalty rate that impacted the fourth quarter 2022. In addition to these factors, margin in the quarter was mostly impacted by higher F&P costs and as well as an increase in Payroll expenses as a percentage of revenue.

As reported revenues were $260.8 million, up 24.7% in US dollars and 23.4% in constant currency versus the prior year quarter. Systemwide comparable sales rose 19.6% year-over-year, or 3.1x inflation in the period. Mexico, Costa Rica and Puerto Rico contributed strongly to the quarter's sales growth.

Marketing activities in NOLAD featured menu innovations across the region, with the launch of FIFA World Cup themed sandwiches in Mexico, Panama and Costa Rica. In Mexico, the *#McDonaldsMéxicoMeEncanta* brand-building campaign partnered with Sergio "Checo" Pérez, the popular Mexican Formula 1 driver with special activations during Mexico's Grand Prix in October. Also notable in the quarter was Costa Rica's record sales for a quarter where the Company reinforced its strength in the beef segment with the implementation of Best Burger.

As reported, Adjusted EBITDA reached $27.9 million in the fourth quarter. Ongoing Adjusted EBITDA rose 23.7% in the period, excluding the $5.5 million benefit from the fair value of the restaurant businesses contributed to an investment with a sub-franchisee in Mexico and adjusting for the final step-up in the Company's royalty rate that impacted the fourth quarter 2022. Also excluding these two factors, the ongoing Adjusted EBITDA margin was flat in the quarter with higher F&P costs offset by operating leverage in all other expense line items.

Revenues in SLAD, excluding Venezuela, increased 28.3% in US dollars, driven by a 70.7% increase in systemwide comparable sales versus the prior year, or 1.6x the division's blended inflation. All the division's main markets generated strong topline growth in the quarter.

Most SLAD division markets reached their highest market share levels while also receiving their best ever scores for brand love and affinity. Digital sales grew an outstanding 50% in the quarter and achieved the highest digital penetration to date. Beef and chicken campaigns reinforced the Brand's value for money proposition as well as its quality and taste perceptions. This included the launch of the "McCrispy Chicken" platform in Colombia and Chile and the "Selecciones McDonald's" World Cup sandwiches in most markets. Argentina also ran a special edition premium hamburger to celebrate the country's FIFA World Cup championship as official digital sponsors of the country's national team.

Adjusted EBITDA reached $32.3 million, compared with $31.5 million in the prior-year quarter. Argentina, Chile and Colombia were the main contributors to the fourth quarter's result. Adjusted EBITDA grew 11.2%, adjusting for the final step up in the Company's royalty rate that impacted the quarter. Payroll expenses rose as a percentage of revenue as government programs designed to protect jobs were largely discontinued in the fourth quarter 2021.

Arcos Dorados opened 21 restaurants during the fourth quarter of 2022, including 10 restaurants in Brazil. For the full year, the Company opened 66 restaurants, including 59 free-standing units and 40 restaurants in Brazil. The Company's restaurant footprint is now made up of 50.4% free-standing units and more than 62% street-facing restaurants, when including in-store locations. This is Latin America's largest free-standing restaurant portfolio by a wide margin, which provides a structural competitive advantage in nearly all the Company's main markets given the versatility of the free-standing restaurant format.

During the year the Company also modernized more than 110 existing restaurants to the Experience of the Future (EOTF) format. As of the end of 2022, there were 1,037 EOTF restaurants making up 45% of Arcos Dorados' total footprint.

**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 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 financing results), 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 21 – Segment and geographic information – of our financial statements (6-K Form) filed today with the S.E.C.
