EX-99 2 exh991.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 - PRESS RELEASE DATED NOVEMBER 13, 2006 EXHIBIT 99.1 Triarc Companies, Inc. 280 Park Avenue New York, NY 10017 For Immediate Release CONTACT: Anne A. Tarbell (212) 451-3030 www.triarc.com TRIARC REPORTS THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS 2006 RESULTS o Arby's(R) Systemwide Same Store Sales Increase o Deerfield Assets Under Management Continue To Grow New York, NY, November 13, 2006 - Triarc Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRY; TRY.B) announced today the results of operations for its third fiscal quarter and first nine months ended October 1, 2006. Consolidated Highlights o Consolidated revenues increased to $311.9 million in the 2006 third quarter ($911.8 million in the 2006 first nine months) from $240.4 million in the 2005 third quarter ($421.8 million in the 2005 first nine months), primarily reflecting the full-period effect of the July 25, 2005 acquisition of RTM Restaurant Group ("RTM"), the owner of 775 Arby's(R) restaurants as of the date of the acquisition, as well as the impact of net additional stores and continued positive systemwide same-store sales, which were up 5% in the 2006 third quarter (4% in the 2006 first nine months). o Consolidated revenues were also positively impacted by increases in the assets under management and related fees of Deerfield & Company LLC ("Deerfield"). Deerfield's revenues increased to $17.8 million in the 2006 third quarter ($48.4 million in the 2006 first nine months) from $13.2 million in the 2005 third quarter ($37.9 million in the 2005 first nine months). This increase principally reflects asset management fees from increased assets under management, including new investment vehicles, and improved performance in the 2006 periods. o Partially offsetting the above increases was the effect of $1.9 million of royalties and franchise fees paid by RTM to Arby's, LLC recognized prior to the acquisition date in the 2005 third quarter ($16.3 million in the 2005 first nine months), while royalties and franchise fees are eliminated in consolidation subsequent to the acquisition of RTM. o Consolidated net income improved to $0.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted Class A and Class B share in the 2006 third quarter (net loss of $(9.3) million in the 2006 first nine months or $(0.11) per diluted Class A and Class B share), compared with a net loss of $(42.5) million, or $(0.58) per diluted Class A and Class B share in the 2005 third quarter (net loss of $(39.4) million, or $(0.58) per diluted Class A and Class B share in the 2005 first nine months). These changes primarily reflect the after-tax effects of the revenue improvements discussed above and decreases in losses on the early extinguishment of debt and settlement of unfavorable franchise rights (i.e., the acquisition from franchisees of restaurants with franchise agreements that provided for a less than 4% royalty rate) as further described below. o Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") (which we define as operating profit plus depreciation and amortization, other than amortization of deferred financing costs) increased to $28.8 million in the 2006 third quarter ($69.2 million in the 2006 first nine months), compared with $(1.1) million in the 2005 third quarter ($13.1 million in the 2005 first nine months), primarily reflecting the prior period loss on the settlement of unfavorable franchise rights and the other effects of the RTM acquisition. The attached table provides the calculation of EBITDA and a reconciliation of EBITDA to our consolidated net income (loss). o Consolidated operating profit (loss) increased to $12.5 million in the 2006 third quarter ($24.8 million in the 2006 first nine months), compared with $(11.2) million in the 2005 third quarter ($(8.0) million in the 2005 first nine months), primarily reflecting the prior period loss on the settlement of unfavorable franchise rights and the other effects of the RTM acquisition. o Share-based compensation expense was $3.3 million in the 2006 third quarter ($10.8 million in the 2006 first nine months) compared with $2.8 million in the 2005 third quarter ($5.5 million in the 2005 first nine months). The 2006 amounts reflect our adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.123(R) at the beginning of fiscal 2006. o Consolidated depreciation and amortization was $16.3 million in the 2006 third quarter ($44.4 million in the 2006 first nine months) versus $10.0 million in the 2005 third quarter ($21.1 million in the 2005 first nine months). This increase principally reflects the additional depreciation and amortization related to the restaurants acquired in the RTM acquisition and $2.2 million of asset impairment charges in the 2006 third quarter and first nine months. o In the 2006 third quarter, we recognized facilities relocation and corporate restructuring charges of $2.1 million ($3.7 million in the 2006 first nine months) compared with $6.4 million in the 2005 periods. The 2005 charges related to the combination of our restaurant operations with those of RTM following the RTM acquisition. The 2006 charges related to our decision not to move our corporate offices to a leased facility in Rye Brook, New York and additional charges related to the combination of our restaurant operations. o A loss on the settlement of unfavorable franchise rights of $17.0 million was recognized in the 2005 third quarter. This charge was recognized in accordance with certain generally accepted accounting principles that require that any preexisting business relationship between the parties to a business combination be evaluated and accounted for separately. Under this accounting guidance, the franchise agreements held by RTM with royalty rates that were below the current 4% royalty rate that Arby's receives on new franchise agreements were required to be valued and recognized as an expense and excluded from the purchase price paid for RTM. A charge for a loss on the settlement of unfavorable franchise rights of $0.7 million related to other restaurant acquisitions was recognized in the 2006 second quarter. o Consolidated interest expense was $34.4 million in the 2006 third quarter ($100.0 million in the 2006 first nine months), compared with $22.1 million in the 2005 third quarter ($44.8 million in the 2005 first nine months). These increases principally reflect an increase in the 2006 third quarter of $13.2 million ($43.7 million in the 2006 first nine months) resulting from the activity of the Deerfield Opportunities Fund (the "Opportunities Fund"), a multi-strategy hedge fund managed by Deerfield in which the Company had an investment and which employed leverage in its investment strategies, as well as higher average debt balances of the restaurant business following a refinancing in connection with the RTM acquisition, partially offset by the conversion of a significant portion of the Company's 5% Convertible Notes due 2023 (the "Convertible Notes"). As of September 29, 2006, we effectively redeemed our investment in the Opportunities Fund and no longer consolidate the operations of the Opportunities Fund. o The losses on early extinguishment of debt in the 2006 third quarter and first nine months totaled $0.2 million and $13.7 million, respectively. The loss on early extinguishment of debt in the 2006 first nine months related to the effective conversion of $167.4 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes and prepayments of $51.0 million principal amount of our term loans and included $8.7 million of negotiated inducement premiums and the write-off of $4.9 million of deferred financing costs. The loss in the 2005 periods totaled $35.8 million due to the July 2005 debt refinancing in connection with the RTM acquisition. The loss for the 2005 periods principally consisted of prepayment penalties of $27.4 million, the write-off of $4.8 million in deferred financing costs and $3.5 million of insurance payments related to the extinguished debt. o The 2006 first nine months results include a gain of $2.3 million compared with a gain of $13.0 million in the 2005 first nine months, principally relating to sales of common stock of Encore Capital Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: ECPG), an equity investment of the Company. The Company owned approximately 4.3% of Encore's outstanding shares as of October 1, 2006. o Consolidated net investment income increased to $23.0 million in the 2006 third quarter ($74.8 million in the 2006 first nine months), compared with $13.6 million in the 2005 third quarter ($30.3 million in the 2005 first nine months). This increase primarily reflects an increase in interest income principally due to the activity of the Opportunities Fund and, to a lesser extent, an increase in average rates on the Company's interest-bearing investments. The increase in investment income from the Opportunities Fund of $10.0 million for the third quarter and $44.1 million for the 2006 first nine months was offset by the increase in interest expense related to the Opportunities Fund noted above. Restaurant Operations Highlights o On July 25, 2005, Triarc completed the acquisition of RTM, Arby's largest franchisee, which then owned and operated 775 Arby's restaurants in 22 states. The financial results of Triarc's restaurant operations following the acquisition reflect the inclusion of RTM. As a result of the RTM acquisition, among other things, the net sales of our restaurant operations have increased while our royalties and franchise and related fees have decreased due to the elimination in consolidation of royalties and franchise and related fees from RTM. o Systemwide same-store sales were up 5% in the 2006 third quarter (4% in the 2006 first nine months) versus a decrease of 4% in the 2005 third quarter (an increase of 1% in the 2005 first nine months). We currently expect systemwide same-store sales to be positive for the remainder of the 2006 fiscal year due to the anticipated performance of the various marketing and new product initiatives described below as well as the impact of value oriented promotions primarily on some of our roast beef sandwiches and limited time menu offerings. o Net sales from the company-owned Arby's restaurants were $272.7 million in the 2006 third quarter ($802.4 million in the 2006 first nine months), compared with $206.1 million in the 2005 third quarter ($312.3 million in the 2005 first nine months). o The increase in sales from company-owned restaurants in the 2006 third quarter of $66.6 million ($490.1 million in the 2006 first nine months) reflects the effect of the acquisition of RTM as well as the addition of 29 net company-owned restaurants since October 2, 2005. Same-store sales for company-owned restaurants increased 2% and 1%, respectively, in the 2006 third quarter and in the 2006 first nine months, compared to the same periods in 2005. The increases primarily reflect the effect of value oriented promotions and limited time offerings and the March 2006 launch of Arby's Chicken Naturals(TM), a line of menu offerings made with 100 percent all natural chicken, partially offset by the continued underperformance of company-owned stores in the economically-weaker Michigan and Ohio regions, as well as the negative impact on sales of lower discretionary consumer spending due to higher fuel costs in 2006 first nine months. o 2006 third quarter same-store sales for franchised restaurants increased 6% (5% in the 2006 first nine months), compared to the same periods in 2005. The 2006 increases in same-store sales of the franchised restaurants reflects more effective and targeted local marketing campaigns, including increased couponing by our franchisees, as well as the positive impact of the recent marketing initiatives and the launch of Arby's Chicken Naturals discussed above, partially offset by the negative impact on sales of lower discretionary consumer spending due to higher fuel costs in the 2006 third quarter and first nine months. o Royalties and franchise and related fees increased to $21.4 million in the 2006 third quarter ($61.0 million in the 2006 first nine months), compared with $21.0 million in the 2005 third quarter ($71.5 million in the 2005 first nine months), due to the effects of the increase in same-store sales of franchised restaurants and net openings of franchised restaurants. The decline in the 2006 nine months results reflects the elimination in consolidation of royalties and franchise and related fees from RTM after the July 2005 acquisition partially offset by the effects of the increase in same-store sales of franchised restaurants and net openings of franchised restaurants. o The gross margin for our company-owned restaurants was 27% of sales both in the 2006 third quarter and the 2006 first nine months as compared to 28% in the 2005 third quarter and 27% in the 2005 first nine months. The decrease in the 2006 third quarter principally reflects the effect of increased price discounting associated with Arby's value oriented menu offerings and increases in utility and payroll costs, partially offset by the positive effect of our continuing implementation of more effective operational procedures, increased beverage rebates and decreases in the cost of roast beef. o Our restaurant business operating profit increased to $25.7 million in the 2006 third quarter ($71.5 million in the 2006 first nine months) versus $5.2 million in the 2005 third quarter ($39.2 million in the 2005 first nine) principally reflecting the prior period loss on the settlement of unfavorable franchise rights and the other effects of the RTM acquisition. o Depreciation and amortization for our restaurant operations was $13.5 million in the 2006 third quarter ($36.6 million in the 2006 first nine months) versus $7.7 million in the 2005 third quarter ($13.2 million in the 2005 first nine months). This increase principally reflects the additional depreciation and amortization related to the restaurants acquired in the RTM acquisition and $1.9 million of impairment charges in the 2006 third quarter principally related to two underperforming restaurants. o Restaurant business EBITDA was $39.2 million in the 2006 third quarter ($108.1 million in the 2006 first nine months), compared with $12.9 million in the 2005 third quarter ($52.4 million in the 2005 first nine months) primarily reflecting the prior period loss on the settlement of unfavorable franchise rights and the other effects of the RTM acquisition. Restaurant business EBITDA is reconciled to consolidated EBITDA which, in turn, is reconciled to consolidated net income (loss), in the attached table. o In the 2006 third quarter, the Arby's system opened 42 new units (93 in the 2006 first nine months) and closed 9 (40 in the 2006 first nine months) generally underperforming units. We plan to open 18 additional new company-owned units during the remainder of 2006. As of October 1, 2006, Arby's had commitments from franchisees to build 251 new units through 2012, which excludes prior commitments from RTM to build 136 new units. Asset Management Highlights o Triarc accounts for Deerfield, its asset management business, as a consolidated subsidiary with a minority interest. For the 2006 third quarter, Deerfield's reported asset management and related fees, operating profit, depreciation and amortization and EBITDA, after the effects of purchase accounting adjustments associated with the Deerfield acquisition in July 2004 and compensation expense related to equity interests granted to Triarc's management in November 2005 in our asset management segment holding company and before the effect of minority interests, were $17.8 million, $2.1 million, $1.7 million, $3.8 million, respectively. For the 2005 third quarter, those amounts were $13.2 million, $1.5 million, $1.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively. For the 2006 first nine months, those amounts were $48.4 million, $4.3 million, $4.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, compared to $37.9 million, $4.4 million, $3.7 million and $8.1 million, respectively, in the first nine months of 2005. The decreases in operating profit and EBITDA for the first nine months of 2006 versus the prior year period reflected an increase in general and administrative expenses due to the hiring of additional personnel to support the growth in assets under management and the November 2005 grant of equity interests noted above. Deerfield's EBITDA is reconciled to consolidated EBITDA which, in turn, is reconciled to consolidated net income (loss), in the attached table. o For the 2006 third quarter, excluding the effects of purchase accounting associated with the Deerfield acquisition in July 2004 and compensation expense related to the equity interests noted above, Deerfield's asset management and related fees, operating profit, depreciation and amortization and EBITDA, before the effect of minority interests were $17.7 million, $3.9 million, $0.4 million and $4.4 million, respectively. For the 2005 third quarter, those amounts were $13.2 million, $2.6 million, $0.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively. For the 2006 first nine months, those amounts were $48.3 million, $9.8 million, $1.3 million and $11.1 million, respectively, compared to $38.6 million, $8.5 million, $0.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively, in the first nine months of 2005. The attached table provides a reconciliation of these measures to the corresponding measures without exclusion of the effects of purchase accounting adjustments associated with the Deerfield acquisition and the grant of equity interests in our subsidiary Triarc Deerfield Holdings, LLC, which is the majority owner of Deerfield. o As of October 1, 2006, Deerfield had approximately $14.1 billion of assets under management ("AUM"), of which approximately $19.1 million was attributable to investments by Triarc. Deerfield's AUM at October 1, 2006 consisted of approximately $12.1 billion in 25 CDOs and a structured loan fund, approximately $862.2 million in four hedge funds, approximately $763.8 million in a real estate investment trust and approximately $329.0 million in several managed accounts. o Deerfield Triarc Capital Corp. ("Deerfield Triarc," NYSE: DFR), the publicly traded real estate investment trust managed by Deerfield that invests in real estate-related securities and various other asset classes, had $763.8 million in assets under management as of October 1, 2006. Triarc and its subsidiaries beneficially own approximately 2.8% of Deerfield Triarc's common stock. Commenting on asset management operations, Nelson Peltz, Triarc's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are pleased with the significant growth that Deerfield has achieved over the last two years. As a result, we believe Deerfield has a great future. Together with Deerfield's Chairman and CEO, Gregory Sachs, and his team, we believe we have built much value at Deerfield since we acquired our interest in July 2004, which will accrue to our shareholders." Commenting on Arby's, Peter May, Triarc's President and Chief Operating Officer, said: "Arby's results continue to be encouraging and we are excited about the many opportunities that lie ahead for 2007, including the possibility of Triarc being a standalone restaurant company." Commenting on Triarc's corporate restructuring, Peltz said: "In keeping with our goal of enhancing stockholder value, and in order to unlock the potential value of both of our independently managed businesses, we are continuing to explore a corporate restructuring that is expected to involve the disposition of our ownership interest in Deerfield through a sale, spin-off to shareholders or other means. We look forward to updating our shareholders on our progress." Triarc is a holding company and, through its subsidiaries, the franchisor of the Arby's(R) restaurant system, which is comprised of approximately 3,500 restaurants. Of these restaurants, more than 1,000 are owned and operated by subsidiaries of Triarc. Triarc also owns an approximate 64% capital interest, a profits interest of at least 52% and approximately 94% of the voting interests in Deerfield & Company LLC, a Chicago-based alternative asset manager offering a diverse range of fixed income and credit-related strategies to institutional investors with approximately $14.1 billion under management as of October 1, 2006. # # # Notes and Table To Follow NOTES TO PRESS RELEASE 1. In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in this press release, we present EBITDA because we believe it is a useful supplement to operating profit in understanding and assessing our consolidated results as well as the results of our segments. We also use EBITDA to evaluate our segment performance and allocate resources. Because all companies do not calculate EBITDA or similarly titled financial measures in the same way, those measures may not be consistent with the way we calculate EBITDA. Our presentation of EBITDA is not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating profit or net income (loss). 2. In addition to the results provided in accordance with GAAP in this press release, we present Deerfield's asset management and related fees, operating profit, depreciation and amortization and EBITDA before the effect of minority interests, excluding the effects of purchase accounting adjustments associated with the Deerfield acquisition and the grant of equity interests in our asset management segment holding company. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures enhance management's ability to compare Deerfield's historical and future operating results and to compare Deerfield's operating results on a stand-alone basis to those of its competitors. We also believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency of supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. Our presentation of certain non-GAAP performance measures of Deerfield is not intended to replace the presentation of its financial results in accordance with GAAP. 3. Systemwide same-store sales represent sales at all company-owned and all franchised stores. We believe that reviewing the increase or decrease in systemwide same-store sales compared with the same period in the prior year is useful to investors in analyzing the growth of the Arby's brand and assessing trends in our restaurant operations. 4. References in this press release to "company-owned" restaurants include owned and leased restaurants as well as two restaurants managed pursuant to management agreements. 5. We define gross margin as the difference between net sales and cost of sales divided by net sales. 6. The description of the RTM acquisition contained in this press release is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the definitive agreements relating to the acquisition, copies of which have been filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission as exhibits to our current and/or periodic filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 7. There can be no assurance that we will build 18 additional new company-owned units in the remainder of 2006 or that our franchisees will honor their commitments to build 251 new restaurants through 2012. 8. There can be no assurance that the corporate restructuring will occur or the form, terms or timing of such restructuring if it does occur. As of the date hereof, the Board of Directors has not reached any definitive conclusion concerning the scope, benefits or timing of the corporate restructuring. 9.

As of July 25, 2005, RTM owned and operated 775 Arby's restaurants in 22 states and, prior to the RTM Acquisition, was the largest franchisee of Arby's restaurants. Following the RTM Acquisition, the consolidated results of operations for the 2006 third quarter, nine months ended October 1, 2006 and post-acquisition 2005 periods include RTM's results but do not include royalties and franchise and related fees paid by RTM to Arby's LLC, which are eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated results of operations for the pre-acquisition portion of the 2005 periods, however, include royalties and franchise and related fees from RTM but do not include RTM's results. (b) The calculation of EBITDA by segment and a reconciliation of consolidated EBIDTA to net income or loss follow:

(2) The asset management and related fees, operating profit and EBITDA before purchase accounting adjustments reflect the elimination of asset management fees paid to Deerfield by Triarc of $0.5 million for the 2006 third quarter, $1.4 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2006, $0.4 million for the 2005 third quarter and $1.2 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2005. (3) On November 10, 2005, pursuant to an equity arrangement approved by the compensation committee of our board of directors, certain members of Triarc's management subscribed for equity interests in our subsidiary that holds our equity interests in Deerfield, each of which consists of a capital interest portion and a profits interest portion. These interests have the effective result of reducing our 61.5% interest in the profits of Deerfield to as low as 52.3%, depending on the level of Deerfield profits.
