Exhibit 99.2

JACK IN THE BOX INC

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

On December 5, 2021, Jack in the Box Inc. (the “Company” or “Jack in the Box”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Del Taco Restaurants, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation (“Del Taco”). On March 8, 2022 (the “Closing” or the “Closing Date”), Jack in the Box purchased all of the outstanding equity interest in Del Taco through the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) with and into Del Taco (the “Merger”), with Del Taco surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Jack in the Box.

Each share of Del Taco common stock issued and outstanding as of the Closing (except for certain exceptions outlined in the Merger Agreement) was converted into the right to receive $12.51 in cash without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), less any applicable withholding taxes. Additionally, in connection with the Merger, each Del Taco equity award granted under Del Taco’s equity compensation plans was either (i) converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration or (ii) converted into equity awards with respect to Jack in the Box common stock. See “Treatment of Del Taco’s Historical Stock-Based Compensation as a result of the Merger” below for an explanation of the treatment of the Del Taco equity awards in connection with the Merger.

The aggregate purchase consideration is $593.3 million, which is primarily comprised of Merger Consideration paid to selling shareholders, cash paid to settle Del Taco’s existing debt and cash paid to fund seller transaction costs. In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into certain debt financing transactions, including issuing fixed senior notes, a variable funding senior note and a revolving credit facility (collectively, the “Debt Financing”). See “Description of the Debt Financing” below for an explanation of the Debt Financing.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release 33-10786, “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.”

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of January 23, 2022 gives effect to the Debt Financing and the Merger as if those transactions had been completed on January 23, 2022 and combines the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Jack in the Box as of January 23, 2022 with the audited consolidated balance sheet of Del Taco as of December 28, 2021.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of earnings (loss) for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2021 and the sixteen weeks ended January 23, 2022 give effect to the Debt Financing and the Merger as if they had occurred on September 28, 2020, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2021 and the beginning of the Company’s annual period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings (loss) for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2021 combines the audited consolidated statement of earnings (loss) of Jack in the Box for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2021 and Del Taco’s unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the sixteen weeks ended December 29, 2020 and for the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings (loss) for the sixteen weeks ended January 23, 2022 combines the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of earnings (loss) of Jack in the Box for the sixteen weeks ended January 23, 2022 with Del Taco’s unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the sixteen weeks ended December 28, 2021.

Jack in the Box has a fiscal year consisting of 52 or 53 weeks, ending on the Sunday closest to September 30. By contrast, the fiscal year for Del Taco ends on the Tuesday closest to December 31. Regulation S-X, Rule 11-02(c)(3) allows the combination of financial information for pro forma reporting purposes for companies if their fiscal years end within 93 days of each other. As such, Del Taco’s historical results in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are derived from Del Taco’s (i) unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the fifty-two weeks ended September 7, 2021 (which was prepared by taking the unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the sixteen weeks ended December 29, 2020 and adding the unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2021), (ii) unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the sixteen weeks ended December 28, 2021 (which was prepared by taking the audited consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 2021 and subtracting the unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2021) and (iii) audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 2021. The fiscal year 2021 includes 53 weeks for Jack in the Box and 52 weeks for Del Taco’s comparable fiscal year.

1

The historical financial statements of Jack in the Box and Del Taco have been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are transaction accounting adjustments, which are necessary to account for the Debt Financing and the Merger in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the accompanying notes are provided for informational and illustrative purposes only and should be read in conjunction with:

● The separate audited consolidated financial statements of Jack in the Box as of and for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2021 and the related notes, included in Jack in the Box’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2021;

● The separate unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Jack in the Box as of and for the sixteen weeks ended January 23, 2022 and the related notes, included in Jack in the Box’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended January 23, 2022;

● The separate audited consolidated financial statements of Del Taco as of and for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2021 and the related notes, included in Del Taco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2021;

● The separate unaudited consolidated financial statements of Del Taco as of and for the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2021 and the related notes, included in Del Taco’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 7, 2021; and

● The separate unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) of Del Taco for the sixteen weeks ended December 29, 2020, included in Exhibit 99.1 of Del Taco’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 8, 2021.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared solely for informational purposes. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not intended to represent and does not purport to be indicative of what the combined company financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Debt Financing and the Merger occurred at an earlier date or on the dates assumed. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The actual results of the Company may differ significantly from those reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Certain columns, rows or percentages may not add or recalculate due to the use of rounded numbers.

Description of the Debt Financing

As part of the Debt Financing, the Company’s wholly owned indirect subsidiary, Jack in the Box Funding, LLC (the “Master Issuer”), completed a privately placed securitization transaction and issued $550 million of Series 2022-1 3.445% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2-I (the "Class A-2-I Notes") and $550 million of Series 2022-1 4.136% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2-II (the "Class A-2-II Notes" and, together with the Class A-2-I Notes, the "Class A-2 Notes"). In connection with the issuance of the Class A-2 Notes, the Master Issuer also entered into a revolving financing facility of Series 2022-1 Variable Funding Senior Secured Notes, Class A-1 (the “Variable Funding Notes”), which allows for the drawing of up to $150 million under the Variable Funding Notes, which include certain instruments, including a letter of credit facility.

Additionally, in connection with the Merger, Jack in the Box repaid Del Taco's existing debt of approximately $115.2 million related to a senior credit facility and Del Taco entered into a new senior credit facility on the Closing Date (the “Del Taco Revolver”). Del Taco’s new senior credit facility is used for day-to-day business operations. The Class A-2 Notes, the Variable Funding Notes and the Del Taco Revolver are referred to collectively as the “Debt Financing.”

The closing of the Merger was not subject to any financing conditions and the Company’s obligation to pay the purchase price was supported by $1.15 billion in Class A-2 Notes and Variable Funding Notes and by the Company’s cash and marketable securities on hand. The Company used the net proceeds from the Class A-2 Notes and the Variable Funding Notes to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Master Issuer’s Series 2019-1 3.982% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2-I (the “Series 2019-1 Class A-2-I Notes”), together with the applicable make-whole prepayment premium on the Series 2019-1 Class A-2-I Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest on such Series 2019-1 Class A-2-I Notes, to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the Merger, to pay acquisition-related fees and expenses, and for general corporate purposes.

2

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information give effect to the settlement of existing debt and issuance of new debt under the Debt Financing.

Treatment of Del Taco’s Historical Stock-Based Compensation as a result of the Merger

Per the terms of the original employment agreements and per the Merger Agreement, each Del Taco equity award granted under Del Taco’s equity compensation plans (other than restricted stock awards granted in 2019 and 2021 to certain executive officers of Del Taco and out-of-the money non-qualified stock options) automatically accelerated, became fully vested and were converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration for each share of Del Taco common stock subject to such award (and in the case of stock options, less the applicable per share exercise price of such option).

Restricted stock awards granted in 2019 and 2021 to certain executive officers of Del Taco did not become fully vested. Instead, such awards were converted into restricted stock awards with respect to Jack in the Box common stock. The number of shares of Del Taco common stock underlying such awards was adjusted to be equal to an aggregate of 21,152 shares of Jack in the Box common stock, based on an exchange ratio calculated by dividing $12.51 by $79.17, which was the closing per share price of Jack in the Box common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the closing date of the Merger. Such awards will be subject to fully accelerated vesting upon a termination of the holder’s employment with Jack in the Box (or an affiliate) without “cause” (as such term is defined in the holder’s employment or services agreement).

Therefore, at the Closing Date, qualifying awards associated with Del Taco’s historical stock-based compensation plan fully vested due to a change in control, which included Del Taco’s in-the-money non-qualified stock options (“options”), restricted stock unit awards with performance-based vesting conditions (“RSUs”) and accelerating restricted stock awards (“RSAs”). Additionally, the non-accelerating restricted stock awards (“non-accelerating RSAs”) under Del Taco’s historical stock-based compensation plan that were not subject to accelerated vesting were exchanged for replacement awards of the Company with the same conditions and provisions as the original awards. Immediately following the Merger, these replacement awards were modified to accelerate the remaining vesting period to be one year following the Closing Date, other than the awards already scheduled to vest on June 30, 2022. The portion of the fair value of the replacement awards associated with pre-acquisition service of Del Taco’s employees represented a component of the total purchase consideration. The remaining fair value of these replacement awards are subject to the recipients’ continued service and thus were excluded from the purchase price. The awards which are subject to continued service will be recognized ratably as stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786, “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.”

Jack in the Box’s and Del Taco’s historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are presented in U.S. dollars. As discussed in Note 2, certain reclassifications were made to align the presentation of Del Taco’s financial statements with those of Jack in the Box. Jack in the Box has evaluated Del Taco’s accounting policies. With the information currently available, Jack in the Box has determined that there are adjustments necessary to conform Del Taco’s financial statements to the accounting policies used by Jack in the Box (see Note 2 - Jack in the Box and Del Taco Accounting Policy Alignment and Reclassification Adjustments).

The Merger was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and using the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. Under ASC 805, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their acquisition date fair value, while transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of acquisition consideration over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill. The determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (and the related determination of estimated useful lives of amortizable identifiable intangible assets) requires significant judgment and estimates. The estimates and assumptions used include the projected timing and amount of future cash flows and discount rates reflecting risk inherent in the future cash flows related to the businesses acquired. The preliminary fair value estimates of the net assets acquired are based upon preliminary calculations and valuations, and those estimates and assumptions regarding certain tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the valuation of intangible assets acquired, income taxes, and goodwill are subject to change as the Company obtains additional information during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). Although the Company believes the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Merger are accurate, new information may be obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the date of the Merger during the twelve-month period following the Merger which could cause actual results to differ materially from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Total nonrecurring acquisition-related costs incurred after January 23, 2022 related to the Merger of $19.7million, including $9.2million related to pre-acquisition costs of Del Taco, are included within the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings (loss). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include the realization of any cost savings from operating efficiencies, synergies or other restructuring activities which might result from the Merger.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of January 23, 2022, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings (loss) for the year ended October 3, 2021 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings (loss) for the sixteen weeks ended January 23, 2022 presented herein are based on the historical financial statements of Jack in the Box and Del Taco. While Jack in the Box and Del Taco have different fiscal period ends, Rule 11-02(c)(3) of Regulation S-X permits fiscal period ends to be within 93 days of the acquirer and acquiree, and thus the following financial information was combined:

● The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of January 23, 2022 is presented as if the Debt Financing and the Merger had occurred on January 23, 2022 and combines the historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Jack in the Box as of January 23, 2022 with the historical audited consolidated balance sheet of Del Taco as of December 28, 2021.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

● The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings (loss) for the year ended October 3, 2021 has been prepared as if the Debt Financing and the Merger had occurred on September 28, 2020, the first day of the beginning of Jack in the Box’s fiscal year 2021 and the beginning of Jack in the Box’s annual period presented, and combines Jack in the Box’s historical audited consolidated statement of earnings (loss) for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2021 with Del Taco’s historical unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the fifty-two weeks ended September 7, 2021 (which is prepared from Del Taco’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 8, 2021 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 7, 2021).

● The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings (loss) for the sixteen weeks ended January 23, 2022 has been prepared as if the Debt Financing and the Merger had occurred on September 28, 2020 and combines Jack in the Box’s historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of earnings (loss) for the sixteen weeks ended January 23, 2022 with Del Taco’s historical unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the sixteen weeks ended December 28, 2021 (which is prepared from Del Taco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2021 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 7, 2021).

Note 2 – Jack in the Box and Del Taco Accounting Policy Alignment and Reclassification Adjustments

During the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, Jack in the Box management performed an analysis of Del Taco’s financial information to identify differences in accounting policies as compared to those of Jack in the Box and differences in financial statement presentation as compared to the financial statement presentation of Jack in the Box. With the information currently available, Jack in the Box has determined that there are adjustments necessary to conform Del Taco’s financial statements to the accounting policies used by Jack in the Box. Additionally, certain reclassification adjustments have been made to conform Del Taco’s historical financial statement presentation to Jack in the Box’s financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported total assets, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity or income from operations of Jack in the Box or Del Taco.

d) Represents alignment of Del Taco’s accounting policy to Jack in the Box related to franchise advertising contributions to a marketing fund. Del Taco and Jack in the Box’s franchise advertising contributions consist of a percentage of franchise restaurant's sales paid to each company for advertising and promotional services that each company provides. Jack in the Box’s policy for contributions to their marketing fund are based on a percentage of sales and recognized as earned. When contributions to the marketing fund exceed the related advertising expenses, advertising costs are accrued up to the amount of revenues on an annual basis since Jack in the Box contractually obligated to spend these funds.

Note 3 – Preliminary Purchase Consideration Allocation

(a) Aggregate Purchase Consideration

Reflects the total consideration of $593.3 million related to the Merger. The calculation of the purchase consideration is based on the terms of the Merger Agreement.

The aggregate purchase consideration is as follows:

Purchase Consideration (in thousands, except Merger Consideration)	Amount
Del Taco shares outstanding as of March 8, 2022		36,442
Del Taco RSAs subject to accelerated vesting		805
Del Taco RSUs subject to accelerated vesting		70
Del Taco options subject to accelerated vesting		292
Total Del Taco shares outstanding		37,610
Merger Consideration (dollar amount per Del Taco share) (1)	$	12.51
Total cash consideration paid to selling shareholders	$	470,500
Del Taco transaction costs paid by Jack in the Box (2)		7,141
Del Taco closing indebtedness settled by Jack in the Box (3)		115,219
Replacement share-based payment awards pre-combination vesting expense (4)		449

Net assets acquired, excluding goodwill		297,383
Goodwill		282,848
Less: historical Del Taco goodwill		(108,979	)
Pro forma goodwill adjustment	$	173,869

The preliminary aggregate purchase consideration allocation above reflects the adjustment to goodwill of $173.9 million. Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase consideration over the preliminary estimated fair values of recorded tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Merger. The actual amount of goodwill to be recorded in connection with the Merger is subject to change once the valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been completed. The final valuation of such assets and liabilities is expected to be completed as soon as practicable but no later than one year after the consummation of the Merger.

Note 4 – Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

Adjustments included in the Transaction Accounting Adjustments – Acquisition column and Transaction Accounting Adjustments – Financing column in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of January 23, 2022 are as follows:

(a) Reflects adjustment to Cash for the Debt Financing, settlement of historical Jack in the Box debt, cash paid to acquire Del Taco (refer to Note 3—Aggregate Purchase Consideration), and buyer transaction costs of $8.0 million that were paid in connection with the Merger by Jack in the Box. The pro forma adjustment is calculated as follows:

Cash (in thousands)	Amount
Pro forma transaction accounting adjustments – financing:
Cash from new Debt Financing, net of debt issuance costs (1)	$	1,138,323
Restricted cash released from deposit with Trustee		5,243
Cash paid to settle historical Jack in the Box debt, including any accrued and unpaid interest, and make-whole prepayment premium		(576,728	)
Net pro forma transaction accounting adjustment – financing to cash	$	566,838
Pro forma transaction accounting adjustments – acquisition:
Proceeds from the Del Taco’s existing debt incurred after January 23, 2022	$	8,000
Transaction costs related to the Merger (2)		(8,005	)
Cash paid to acquire Del Taco		(592,860	)
Net pro forma transaction accounting adjustment – acquisition to cash	$	(592,865	)

(1) This includes the proceeds from the Del Taco Revolver, net of unamortized debt issuance costs as presented in Other assets, net, for Del Taco’s day-to-day business operations.

(2) These costs consist of legal advisory, financial advisory, accounting, consulting costs, and other one-time costs associated with the Merger as presented in Accrued liabilities prior to settlement on the Closing Date.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(b) Reflects the adjustment to step-up acquired intangible assets to their estimated acquisition-date fair values based upon a preliminary valuation. The trade name was valued using the relief from royalty method of the income approach, which was applied by discounting the after-tax royalties avoided by owning the trade name to present value. The key inputs and assumptions included the Company's estimates of the projected system wide sales, royalty rate and discount rate applicable to the trade name. The franchise and development agreements were valued using the income approach, which was applied by discounting the projected after-tax cash flows associated with the agreements to present value.
