Exhibit 99.1

BLOOMIN’ BRANDS, INC.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On November 1, 2013, Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. (the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Outback Steakhouse Restaurantes Brasil S.A. (“OB Brasil”) (formerly known as Bloom Holdco Participações Ltda.), completed its previously announced acquisition of a controlling interest in PGS Participações Ltda. (“PGS Par”), the Company’s former joint venture partner, in accordance with the Quota Purchase and Sale Agreement entered into on October 31, 2013 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by purchasing 80% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of PGS Par, which held a 50% interest in PGS Consultoria e Serviços Ltda. (the “Brazilian Joint Venture”) (collectively, the “Acquisition”). Prior to the Acquisition, the Company held a 50% interest in the Brazilian Joint Venture. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company now holds a 90% interest in the Brazilian Joint Venture, which operates Outback Steakhouse restaurants in Brazil.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2012, and as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, are based on historical consolidated financial statements of Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. and give effect to the Acquisition after applying the assumptions, reclassifications and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

The historical consolidated financial statements of the Brazilian Joint Venture were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Brazil, which are converged to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) (collectively “BR GAAP”), which differs in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Necessary adjustments have been made to reconcile the historical consolidated financial statements of the Brazilian Joint Venture to U.S. GAAP. These adjustments relate primarily to differences relating to income tax contingencies.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet at September 30, 2013 gives effect to the Acquisition by the Company of the Brazilian Joint Venture as if it had occurred on September 30, 2013. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2012, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, give effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2012. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to give effect to estimated pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the Acquisition, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results of operations. In addition, to ensure timely reporting, the Company made the election to consolidate the results of its Brazilian operations on a one-month lag, effective as of the acquisition date. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect the lag.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations do not reflect the following amounts that are not expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results of operations: (i) professional fees associated with the Acquisition; (ii) gain on remeasurement to fair value of previously held equity investment in the Brazilian Joint Venture; and (iii) interest expense associated with the borrowings of $100.0 million on the revolving credit facility since the Company repaid the borrowings in full prior to December 31, 2013. Had the Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2012, these amounts would have been an aggregate gain of approximately $34.8 million. In addition, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations do not consider reduced interest expense had the cash used in the Acquisition been applied to lower the Company’s outstanding debt obligation. Actual amounts were or will be recorded by us in the period in which these transactions are completed. The pro forma adjustments exclude the impact of the one-month reporting lag that was adopted by the Company upon acquisition and, therefore, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect calendar-based periods for all presented periods. In addition, the pro forma adjustments for the Acquisition do not include any post-closing adjustments that may occur pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, which may include adjustments of the purchase price, and any such post-closing adjustments may be material.

1.     Transaction Description

On November 1, 2013, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary OB Brasil, completed its previously announced acquisition of a controlling interest in PGS Par, the Company’s former joint venture partner, in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, by purchasing 80% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of PGS Par, which held a 50% interest in the Brazilian Joint Venture. Prior to the Acquisition, the Company held a 50% interest in the Brazilian Joint Venture. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company now holds a 90% interest in the Brazilian Joint Venture, which operates Outback Steakhouse restaurants in Brazil. The Company completed the Acquisition for total consideration of R$240.8 million (BRL) (or approximately $110.5 million) in cash. The Company financed the Acquisition primarily with borrowings of $100.0 million on its existing revolving credit facility and available cash. The revolving credit facility borrowings were subsequently repaid in full prior to December 31, 2013.

2.    Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using U.S. GAAP and was based on the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Brazilian Joint Venture. All pro forma financial statements use the Company’s period end date and no adjustments were made for the one-month lag period that was adopted by the Company at the acquisition date.

The historical consolidated financial statements of the Brazilian Joint Venture were prepared in conformity with BR GAAP, which differs in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. Necessary adjustments have been made to reconcile the historical consolidated financial statements of the Brazilian Joint Venture to U.S. GAAP. These adjustments relate primarily to differences relating to income tax contingencies and are included in the column under the heading “Pro Forma Adjustments”.

The Acquisition will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. GAAP.

The historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Brazilian Joint Venture was prepared in Brazilian Reais and has been translated to U.S. Dollars using a rate of $0.45, which approximates the Brazilian Real conversion rate to U.S. Dollars on September 30, 2013. The Brazilian Joint Venture historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 and unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 have been translated to U.S. Dollars using exchange rates of $0.53 and $0.47, respectively, which approximate the average Brazilian Real conversion rate to U.S. Dollars for the applicable periods. Certain of the pro forma adjustments have been translated to U.S. Dollars using an exchange rate of $0.46, which approximates the Brazilian Real conversion rate to U.S. Dollars on November 1, 2013, the closing date of the Acquisition.

3.    Significant Accounting Policies    

Certain amounts in the historical consolidated financial statements of the Brazilian Joint Venture have been reclassified to conform to the Company’s financial statement presentation. Management will also continue to assess the accounting policies of the Brazilian Joint Venture for adjustments in addition to those reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information that may be required to conform the accounting policies of the Brazilian Joint Venture to the Company’s.

The above allocation will remain preliminary until the Company has all of the information necessary to finalize the allocation of the purchase price.

Identifiable intangible assets, net

The fair value of net intangible assets has been allocated to the following two categories: (i) reacquired franchise rights and (ii) favorable and unfavorable leases. The reacquired franchise rights will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of each restaurants’ franchise agreement, without consideration of renewal. The favorable and unfavorable leases will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. The following table represents details of the identifiable intangible assets:

(1) Represents amortization expense expected to be recorded over the first 12-month period subsequent to the acquisition date.

(2) Unfavorable leases are included in Other long-term liabilities, net in the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed table shown above.

The fair values of the identifiable intangible assets were determined based on the following approach:

• Reacquired franchise rights: The value assigned to the reacquired franchise rights was determined using the income approach. Projected after-tax, post-royalty expense cash flows derived from the franchise rights that were reacquired, net of capital charges, were discounted to present value. Expectations related to future restaurant performance were based on historical data, and a long-term forecast was constructed based on the Company’s financial projections and expectations. The capital charges applied serve to recognize the use of other assets in deriving value from the franchise agreement. The resulting cash flows were then discounted to present value.

• Favorable and unfavorable leases: The values assigned to favorable and unfavorable leases were determined using a market approach. The variance between market rent and contract rent over the remaining lease term was discounted to present value on a location-by-location basis.

Step acquisition

A step acquisition occurs when a controlling ownership interest is gained over a period of time. Applicable accounting guidance requires that a step acquisition in which control is obtained over a business be accounted for as a business combination. The accounting guidance also requires that previously held equity interests be remeasured at fair value and any difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the equity interest held be recognized as a gain or loss on the statement of operations. The fair value assigned to the previously held equity investment in the Brazilian Joint Venture for purposes of calculating the gain or loss was determined using the income approach, based on a discounted cash flow methodology. The resulting gain on remeasurement to fair value of the previously held equity investment in the Brazilian Joint Venture in the amount of $37.0 million has been included as an adjustment to the Accumulated deficit in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet but excluded from the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations.

Noncontrolling interest

The Acquisition, as described in Note 1, results in a noncontrolling interest of 10% being retained by the sellers. The fair value assigned to the noncontolling interest in the Brazilian Joint Venture was determined using the income approach, based on a discounted cash flow methodology. In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the noncontrolling interest in the Brazilian Joint Venture is subject to certain put options and call options. The accounting guidance considers these options to be embedded features within the noncontrolling interest that require the noncontrolling interest to be classified within the balance sheet as redeemable equity. The redeemable noncontrolling interest in the Brazilian Joint Venture is presented at fair value in the amount of $22.4 million and has been included as an adjustment to Mezzanine equity in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet.
