Same shop sales is defined in the section “Select Financial Metrics”. |

|
2 |
This is a non-GAAP financial measure. Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”. |
|
|
3 |
We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measure because we do not provide guidance for the various reconciling items. We are unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because we cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted due to the fact that these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliation to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort. |

In 2026, AUVs are determined based on the net sales for any trailing twelve-month period for systemwide and company-operated shops, and same shop sales represent the percentage change in year-over-year sales, for the comparable shop base, that have been open at least 15 complete months as of the first day of the quarterly reporting period. Prior to 2026, AUVs were determined based on shops that had been open a minimum of 15 months, and same shop base was defined as shops open for 15 complete months or longer as of the first day of the reporting period. Prior period numbers have not been adjusted to conform to the new definition as the changes did not have a material impact. AUVs are calculated by dividing the systemwide and company-operated shops net sales by the total number of systemwide and company-operated shops, respectively. Management uses these metrics as an indicator of shop growth, expectations of mature locations, and future expansion strategy. The number of shops included in the systemwide and company-operated comparable bases for the respective periods are presented in the following table. |

Systemwide sales and systemwide same shop sales are operating measures that include sales at company-operated shops and sales at franchised shops during the comparable periods presented. Franchise sales represent sales at all franchise shops and are revenues to our franchisees. We do not record franchise sales as revenues; however, our royalty revenues and advertising fund contributions are calculated based on a percentage of franchise sales. As these metrics include sales reported to us by our non-consolidated franchise partners, these metrics should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Management uses these metrics as indicators of our system’s overall financial health, growth and future expansion prospects. |

Company-operated and franchise shops operating weeks are calculated based on the number of operating days for the shop base and dividing by 7. Our shop base is defined as shops opened as of the end date of the periods presented. The operating weeks calculations reflect re-acquired franchises through 2022. Management uses these metrics as indicators of our system’s overall financial health, growth and future expansion prospects. |

Dutch Rewards is our digitally-based rewards program available exclusively through the Dutch Rewards app. Management uses this metric as an indicator of customer loyalty adoption of our Dutch Rewards app and future promotional plans. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this press release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance, enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance.
Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on one or more of the following items, as well as the related income tax effects where applicable. Income tax effects have been calculated based on the combined total non-GAAP adjustments using our total effective tax rate. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.
