Oakville / CA. (rbi) Restaurant Brands International Inc. (RBI) reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018. Chief Executive Officer Daniel Schwartz commented, «During the second quarter, we continued to grow each of our three iconic brands, and we made good progress against the 2018 priorities that we outlined last quarter. At Tim Hortons, we have implemented a number of initiatives under our ‘Winning Together’ plan – including the launch of Breakfast Anytime – which we believe will drive improved comparable sales over the long run. We also delivered strong system-wide sales growth at Burger King and Popeyes, driven by accelerated net restaurant growth. We are very optimistic about the long-term growth potential for each of our brands and remain focused on driving improved guest satisfaction and franchisee profitability».

Note: System-wide sales growth and comparable sales are calculated on a constant currency basis and include sales at franchise restaurants and company-owned restaurants. System-wide sales are driven by sales at franchised restaurants, as approximately 100 percent of current restaurants are franchised. We do not record franchise sales as revenues; however, our franchise revenues include royalties based on a percentage of franchise sales.

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the new revenue recognition accounting standard («New Standard»). Our consolidated financial statements for 2018 reflect the application of the New Standard, while our consolidated financial statements for 2017 were prepared under the guidance of previously applicable accounting standards («Previous Standards»). Our results presented herein indicate which revenue recognition methodology applies in each respective period.
The implementation of the New Standard impacted our year-over-year results on a consolidated basis and for each segment as follows:
- Total Revenues increased primarily as a result of the inclusion of advertising fund contributions
- Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses increased as a result of the inclusion of advertising fund expenditures
Under Previous Standards, Total Revenues for the second quarter grew primarily as a result of system-wide sales growth, as well as a favorable impact of FX movements, partially offset by a decrease in supply chain related revenues at TH.
Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders for the quarter, under both Previous Standards and the New Standard, was driven by growth in segment income, the change in other operating expenses (income), net (driven by FX), and the redemption of our preferred shares in December of 2017.
Under Previous Standards, Adjusted Ebitda for the quarter grew 3.7 percent on an organic basis versus prior year results, driven primarily by an increase in revenues at BK and PLK, partially offset by a decrease in supply chain related revenues at TH.
