As of July 31, 2024.
Message from Marcelo Rabach, Chief Executive Officer
We believe our second quarter 2024 results demonstrate our
ability to perform strongly in any operating context. Sales and
profitability growth through June have been consistent with our
strategy, especially when you consider the tougher-than-expected
macroeconomic and consumer environments we are facing this year. To
manage through this period, we are focused on the factors we can
control to minimize short-term volatility and maximize long-term
growth.
Consolidated revenue rose 6.8% in the second quarter, reaching
the highest level ever for a second quarter in US dollars. Guest
traffic growth continued to support comparable sales growth even as
consumers have become more discerning with their discretionary
spending. This is where our omnichannel approach, strong value
proposition and operational excellence have established McDonald’s
as the region’s favorite QSR brand.
Systemwide comparable sales growth was 2.4x the Company’s
blended inflation, excluding Argentina. According to our
proprietary research, we expanded market share by nearly three
percentage points across the region, outpacing our nearest
competitors by a wide margin.
The Three D’s Strategy of Digital, Delivery and Drive-thru has
set a new standard of quality, service and value for the quick
service restaurant industry in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Today’s guests expect their QSR experience to be convenient and
versatile, with multiple alternatives to receive great service and
high-quality food at a fair value.
And we are meeting their expectations with sophisticated digital
capabilities, a dedication to operational excellence, convenient
free-standing restaurant locations and the best menu offerings in
the QSR industry. No other restaurant brand in the region can match
these structural competitive advantages.
Additionally, the business model has evolved in a way that
allowed us to deliver the second-best EBITDA in US dollars for a
second quarter in our history. We did this despite macroeconomic
and currency headwinds in some of our largest markets and even
after adjusting for a positive impact from the reduction of labor
contingencies due to a favorable judgement in Brazil.
During the first half of 2024, we opened 37 Experience of the
Future (EOTF) restaurants, including 34 free-standing locations. In
our biggest market, Brazil, we added 21 EOTF restaurants in the
first half, including 20 new free-standing units.
We believe we are positioned to generate sustainable US dollar
cash flow growth by leveraging our structural competitive
advantages. And Sustainability is about more than just financial
results. It is about making a positive impact on the communities we
serve through our Recipe for the Future ESG platform. Because it is
the right thing to do, and it is good for business.
Finally, it is worth reminding you that we operate in a highly
underpenetrated region for both the QSR industry, as well as for
the McDonald’s Brand. We see tremendous growth potential ahead and
will work to capture it, as strategically and profitably as
possible.

Arcos Dorados’ total revenues reached $1.1 billion, up 6.8% in
US dollars versus the prior year quarter, despite the challenging
macroeconomic and consumer environments in the region, the
significant negative impact on results from the Argentina business
and the depreciation of the Brazilian real during the quarter.
Systemwide comparable sales rose 40.8% with most markets
increasing sales above local inflation, including positive guest
volumes. The Company’s systemwide comparable sales grew 2.4x
blended inflation for the period, excluding Argentina.
The Three-D’s strategy (Digital, Delivery and Drive-thru)
together with the industry’s most compelling value proposition,
drove guest volume and sales growth in the quarter. This led to
continued market share gains for the McDonald’s Brand throughout
the region. According to the Company’s proprietary research, market
share expanded by nearly three percentage points compared with the
prior year period, across the Company’s operating footprint.
Off-premise sales (Delivery and Drive-thru) rose 11% in US
dollars versus the prior year, and represented 45% of systemwide
sales in the second quarter of 2024. On-premise sales (front
counter, self-order kiosks, dessert centers and McCafé) grew 4% in
US dollars year-over-year, accounting for 55% of systemwide sales
in the quarter.
The Company’s Digital platform offered guests the ability to
choose their preferred experience, whether through the convenience
of self-order kiosks in the Company’s restaurants or through Mobile
App functionalities, such as Own Delivery and Mobile Order and Pay.
Digital channel sales grew 24% versus the prior year and reached
57% of systemwide sales, strongly contributing to topline
performance in the quarter.
As of the end of June 2024, Arcos Dorados’ Customer Relationship
Management platform had about 90 million unique registered users
and the Mobile App surpassed 130 million cumulative downloads,
reaching more than 21 million monthly active users in the quarter.
Loyalty Program members’ visit frequency was 1.5 to 2.0x that of
non-Loyalty guests in the period, with healthy levels of both
90-day active customers and redemption rates. During the quarter,
identified sales represented 24% of total sales, compared with 19%
in the prior year quarter.
2Q24 Adjusted EBITDA Bridge ($ million)
Second quarter consolidated Adjusted EBITDA reached $118.8
million, up 7.9% in US dollars over the prior year quarter. The
result included a $16.0 million positive impact from the reduction
of labor contingencies due to a favorable judgement in Brazil.
Excluding this positive impact, Adjusted EBITDA was still the
second highest US dollar result for a second quarter in Arcos
Dorados’ history.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.7%, relatively flat
versus the 10.6% EBITDA margin registered in the prior year. This
included lower Food and Paper (F&P) costs as a percentage of
revenue, driven by a better gross margin in Brazil, coupled with
operating leverage in General and Administrative expenses (G&A)
in all divisions when compared with the prior year.
These effects were partially offset by higher Occupancy &
Other Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue in the second
quarter, explained by an increase in expenses related to delivery
fees and utilities as well as expenses related to running and
maintaining the Company’s information technology tools and
capabilities.
Notable items in the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation
Included in Adjusted EBITDA:
Brazil’s result in the second quarter of 2024 included a $16.0
million positive impact from the reduction of labor contingencies
due to a favorable judgement.
Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter 2024 and second quarter
2023 included a $4.2 million and a $4.0 million gain, respectively,
from the sale of restaurants to sub-franchisees in Chile.
Excluded from Adjusted EBITDA:
There were no notable items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in either
the second quarter of 2024 or the second quarter of 2023.
Non-operating Results
Arcos Dorados’ non-operating results for the second quarter
included a net interest expense of $14.1 million and a $14.9
million loss from non-cash foreign exchange and derivative
instruments. The Company recorded an income tax expense of $18.1
million in the quarter.
Net income attributable to the Company totaled $26.6 million, or
$0.13 per share, in the second quarter of 2024. Total weighted
average shares for the second quarter of 2024 amounted to
210,660,444 compared to 210,625,859 in the prior year’s
quarter.

Brazil’s revenues increased 9.1% year-over-year, reaching $442.0
million, despite the material devaluation of the Brazilian real
during the second quarter. Systemwide comparable sales rose 10.2%
year-over-year, or 2.6x inflation in the period, with a strong
guest traffic contribution.
Digital sales rose 23% versus the prior year and generated
almost 70% of the division’s systemwide sales in the period,
including 28% identified sales in the quarter. Delivery sales rose
28% in US dollars versus the prior year and reached a new quarterly
sales record in the country. Off-premise channel sales represented
43% of Brazil’s systemwide sales in the quarter.
The Loyalty program “Meu Méqui” continues to drive guest
frequency, with a higher average check. The Company continued to
invest in the attractiveness of the program, which accumulated more
than 10.5 million registered members at the end of July 2024, up
from 8 million at the end of April 2024.
Brazil’s marketing campaigns included strong Happy Meal
properties such as Inside Out 2 to boost the family business. Arcos
Dorados continued sponsoring Big Brother Brazil, the country’s most
popular reality TV program, with associated promotions to support
the chicken category. The Company also ran promotions and limited
time offers to strengthen brand affinity with menu favorites such
as McFish, McFries, Tasty Sauce and desserts.
As reported Adjusted EBITDA in the division reached $86.2
million in the quarter, rising 24.6% versus the prior year in US
dollars. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.5%, including lower F&P
costs as a percentage of revenue and efficiencies in both Payroll
and G&A due to strong sales growth above inflation in the
division. The Adjusted EBITDA margin also benefited from a positive
impact from the reduction of labor contingencies due to a favorable
judgement in this market.

As reported revenues in NOLAD totaled $310.2 million, up 11.7%
in US dollars versus the prior year quarter. Systemwide comparable
sales rose 7.9% year-over-year, despite a challenging comparison
with the same period last year, which included strong sales during
Holy Week.
Systemwide sales increased 2.5x the division’s blended inflation
in the period, with sales growing above inflation in most markets
and particularly strong traffic growth in Panama, Mexico and the
French West Indies.
Arcos Dorados continued to invest in the modernization and
digitalization of its restaurants in the division. As a result,
digital sales grew 61% versus the prior year and represented 39% of
systemwide sales in the quarter, benefiting from a significant
increase in sales through Delivery and self-order kiosks versus the
previous year. Identified sales almost doubled compared to the same
quarter last year, driven by continued customer lifecycle
management efforts, coupled with increasing digital campaigns and
the recent launch of the Loyalty Program in Costa Rica.
NOLAD’s marketing initiatives included the launch of Best Burger
in Mexico, leading to a robust comparable unit volume growth for
the Big Mac, cheeseburger and the Quarter Pounder with cheese, in
the country. Happy Meal sales also performed strongly in the
quarter with properties such as Inside Out 2 and Minions. Arcos
Dorados combined the regional Formula One sponsorship with the
indulgent Grands platform to drive growth in the Three D’s.
Finally, the Company introduced new menu offerings in the important
chicken and dessert categories in several of the division’s
markets.
As reported Adjusted EBITDA in the division was $26.2 million in
the quarter, down 7.3% versus the prior year in US dollars.
Adjusted EBITDA margin declined by 180 basis points in the quarter,
primarily due to the impact of higher Payroll expenses as well as
an increase in Occupancy & Other Operating expenses. These were
partially offset by operating leverage in G&A expenses.

As reported revenues in SLAD totaled $358.7 million, driven by
an 113.4% increase in systemwide comparable sales versus the prior
year, which includes the impact of Argentina and Venezuela’s high
inflation rates. Excluding Argentina, the division’s systemwide
comparable sales grew 2.0x blended inflation, driven by Chile,
Colombia, Uruguay and Venezuela.
The division’s results in the second quarter reflect a more
challenging consumer environment, as well as significant
macroeconomic and currency headwinds in Argentina. Against this
backdrop, the Company focused on leveraging its competitive
advantages to strengthen value perception and brand preference
among guests.
Digital sales represented 56% of systemwide sales in SLAD,
leading to a jump in identified sales across its markets, mainly
due to the continued increase in sales penetration from Delivery
and Own Delivery together with the strong performance of the Mobile
Order and Pay functionality on the Mobile App. The nationwide
launch of the Loyalty Program in Uruguay at the end of April of
2024 drove improvements in guest frequency and record levels of
identified sales.
SLAD’s marketing activities included attractive Happy Meal
offerings across the division, chicken-focused promotions in Chile,
and innovations in the dessert category in Colombia. In addition,
Arcos Dorados drove sales by focusing on the sports passion point
during the Copa America tournament with activations related to
local football federation sponsorships.
As reported Adjusted EBITDA totaled $30.6 million in the second
quarter and Adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 180 basis points
versus the prior year quarter. The division’s Adjusted EBITDA was
positively impacted by operating leverage in G&A expenses and a
relatively flat Payroll and F&P expenses as a percentage of
revenue, despite the challenging environment in Argentina. These
were offset by higher Occupancy & Other Operating expenses as a
percentage of revenue.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company opened 15
Experience of the Future (EOTF) restaurants, all of them
free-standing units, including 10 restaurants in Brazil.
At the end of June, 52% of Arcos Dorados’ restaurant footprint
was made up of free-standing units and the Company plans to
continue focusing its investments on this format to offer guests
the most complete McDonald’s restaurant experience while leveraging
the incrementality of Drive-thru and Delivery sales to continue
capturing the highest sales volume per restaurant in the
region.
During the second quarter, the Company continued investing in
the modernization of existing restaurants and, as of the end of
June 2024, there were 1,471 EOTF restaurants making up 61% of the
Company’s total footprint.
Arcos Dorados’ restaurant development plan remains on track,
with a strong pipeline of restaurant openings and modernizations
underway in the second semester.

Definitions
In analyzing business trends, management considers a variety of
performance and financial measures which are considered to be
non-GAAP including: Adjusted EBITDA, Constant Currency basis,
Systemwide sales, and Systemwide comparable sales growth.
Adjusted EBITDA: In addition to financial measures
prepared in accordance with the general accepted accounting
principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables
use a non-GAAP financial measure titled ‘Adjusted EBITDA’.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate operating performance
comparisons from period to period.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the Company’s 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 on the
statement of income: gains from sale or insurance recovery of
property and equipment, write-offs of long-lived assets, and
impairment of long-lived assets.
Management believes 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. Figure 8 of this
earnings release includes 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.
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
and (ii) constant currency growth. (i) Currency translation
reflects the impact on growth of the appreciation or depreciation
of the local currencies in which the Company conducts its business
against the US dollar (the currency in which the Company’s
financial statements are prepared). (ii) Constant currency growth
reflects the underlying growth of the business excluding the effect
from currency translation. The Company also calculates variations
as a percentage in constant currency, which are also considered to
be non-GAAP measures, to provide a more meaningful analysis of its
business by identifying the underlying business trends, without
distortion from the effect of foreign currency fluctuations.
Systemwide sales: Systemwide sales represent measures for
both Company-operated and sub-franchised restaurants. While sales
by sub-franchisees are not recorded as revenues by the Company,
management believes the information is important in understanding
its financial performance because these sales are the basis on
which it calculates and records sub-franchised restaurant revenues
and are indicative of the financial health of its sub-franchisee
base.
Systemwide comparable sales growth: this non-GAAP
measure, refers to the change, on a constant currency basis, in
Company-operated and sub-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) including those
temporarily closed. Management believes it is a key performance
indicator used within the retail industry and is indicative of the
success of the Company’s initiatives as well as local economic,
competitive and consumer trends. Sales by sub-franchisees are not
recorded as revenues by the Company.
