Second Quarter 2017 Conference Call

Appendix Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to the GAAP financial measures included in this presentation, the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures (i.e., adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted tax rate, free cash flow and system wide sales). These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain expenses and benefits as detailed in the accompanying reconciliation tables. This presentation also includes forward-looking guidance for certain non-GAAP financial measures including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted tax rate. The Company excludes certain expenses and benefits from adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted tax rate, such as impairment of long-lived assets, reorganization and realignment costs and system optimization gains, net. Due to the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of those expenses and benefits, the Company is unable without unreasonable effort to provide projections of net income, earnings per share or reported tax rate or a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share or adjusted tax rate to projected net income, earnings per share or reported tax rate. 8/9/2017 THE WENDY'S COMPANY 24 12
