•

Kingston, Ontario replacement distribution centre opened and ramping up operations

OAKVILLE, ONTARIO, (November 10^th, 2011): Tim Hortons Inc. (TSX: THI, NYSE: THI) today announced results for the third quarter ended October 2^nd, 2011.

“Operating conditions in North America continued to be challenging and the strength of our sales performance is a great testament to our strong price-value brand position with our guests. We continued to innovate in the third quarter and execute our strategic growth plans to build our business,” said Paul House, executive chairman, and president and CEO.

Consolidated Results

All percentage increases and decreases represent year-over-year changes for the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010, unless otherwise noted.

Third quarter systemwide sales⁽³⁾ increased 8.2% on a constant currency basis. Total revenues grew 8.4% to $726.9 million compared to $670.5 million in the prior year. The strength of our systemwide sales helped drive rents and royalties revenues, which increased 6.8%, and distribution sales, which grew 11.9%. Higher distribution sales outpaced system growth due to higher pricing of underlying commodities, particularly coffee, moving through our supply chain. Franchise fees increased modestly during the quarter, rising 3.6%.

Total costs and expenses grew 6.8% during the quarter, below the rate of systemwide sales growth. Cost of sales was up 13.5% in the third quarter, due in part to higher systemwide sales, and also due to higher underlying commodity costs, which increased product costs and also increased distribution sales as noted previously. Cost of sales also reflects the impact from the previous sale of Maidstone Bakeries in 2010. Cost of sales subsequent to the bakery sale is recorded at essentially the selling price from the bakery versus the manufacturing costs. In addition, we also incurred start-up costs associated with the replacement distribution centre in Kingston, Ontario. Growth in operating expenses was moderate during the third quarter, and general and administrative expenses declined year-over-year. The decline was primarily due to lower professional fees compared to last year offset in part by additional investments to support advertising and promotional activities in the U.S. market and our Cold Stone Creamery^© brand-building activities in Canada.

Consolidated operating income increased by 14.9% in the third quarter, to $152.8 million, compared to $133.0 million in the prior year. On a comparable basis, our 2010 third quarter results included a $20.9 million asset impairment charge compared to an asset impairment charge, net of a recovery of previously accrued closure costs, of $0.4 million in the third quarter this year. In addition, our 2010 results included $16.5 million of contributions from Maidstone Bakeries, which are not in our 2011 results. However, we benefited from a $2.1 million deferred gain in the third quarter this year related to the 2010 Maidstone Bakeries sale. Adjusted operating income⁽¹⁾, absent the impacts of the net asset impairment charges and Maidstone Bakeries sale, was up 10.0%, driven by systemwide sales growth and more moderate growth in expenses. Please refer to “Information on non-GAAP Measure” below for a reconciliation of adjusted operating income to operating income, the nearest GAAP measure.

Net income attributable to THI rose 40.4%, to $103.6 million, compared to $73.8 million last year. In addition to the earnings factors noted above, our net income attributable to THI was impacted by a lower effective tax rate in the third quarter of 29.0% compared to 35.7% in the same period last year. A significant portion of the year-over-year difference in effective tax rates was related to the asset impairment charge taken in 2010 for which a deduction was not available.

Third quarter EPS was $0.65, increasing significantly from $0.42 last year. The increase includes a $0.12 per share impact in 2010 arising from the asset impairment charge. Absent this factor, and a restaurant closure cost recovery this year, our EPS growth would have been 18.2% for the quarter. The cumulative impact of our share repurchase programs has been a substantial contributor to our EPS growth. We had approximately $64 million available in our current share repurchase program as at the end of the third quarter. The current program is expected to be completed by March 2^nd, 2012. We had 7.9% fewer fully diluted shares outstanding in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period last year.

“During the quarter we continued to reinforce our market-leading position with innovation in our product offerings such as Real Fruit Smoothies and Specialty Bagels, and through disciplined execution of our strategic growth initiatives. Following the quarter, we also announced our plans to extend our coffee leadership by introducing espresso-based lattes, mocha lattes and cappuccinos under the Tim’s Café Favourites umbrella at nearly 3,000 locations in Canada and the U.S. Our system also plans to introduce digital menu boards across the chain in Canada, which we believe will enhance the overall guest experience, and we are also extending our breakfast hours nationally to 12:00 noon,” said Paul House, executive chairman, and President and CEO.

Segmented Performance Commentary

Canada

Canadian segment same-store sales increased by 4.7% in the third quarter, outpacing growth in the first half of the year. Our Canadian growth was driven by gains in average cheque due to a combination of favourable product mix related to new product introductions and promotions and pricing previously in the system. Our same-store sales growth was achieved against a backdrop of continued economic weakness and generally challenging macro-operating conditions that we believe were factors that contributed to moderately lower same-store transactions during the quarter. Total system transactions increased during the quarter due to new restaurants in the system.

We continued to execute our restaurant development strategy in the third quarter and opened 41 restaurants. Consistent with historical patterns, our restaurant development in Canada is weighted to the fourth quarter of 2011.

Operating income in the Canadian segment rose 4.5% to $160.4 million compared to $153.5 million in the same period last year. Operating income benefited from an 8.3% increase in Canadian systemwide sales. Higher systemwide sales drove increased rents and royalties and resulted in higher distribution income. Our Canadian segment operating income performance includes a $6.2 million net reduction compared to last year arising from the loss of contribution from Maidstone Bakeries due to the disposition of our 50% joint-venture interest. We also incurred start-up and transition costs associated with our replacement distribution facility in Kingston, Ontario, which began to ramp up operations in the third quarter.

United States

The U.S. segment experienced robust same-store sales growth of 6.3%. Our same-store sales performance benefited from increased average cheque due to pricing in the system and favourable product mix, and also due to moderately higher transactions. Our growth was supported by enhanced menu, marketing and promotional efforts designed to create higher brand awareness and increase guest traffic.

Our restaurant development activity in the U.S. market, primarily focused on our core growth markets, resulted in 23 new openings, including 12 full-serve restaurants and 11 self-serve locations.

We had operating income of $2.9 million in the U.S. segment in the third quarter compared to a $17.5 million loss in the same period last year.

The third quarter of 2010 included asset impairment charges of $20.9 million related to the Company’s Portland, Providence and Hartford markets. The third quarter of 2011 included a net $0.5 million benefit related to a $1.5 million reversal of previously accrued closure costs related to the Company’s New England markets, partially offset by an asset impairment charge of $1.0 million, which reflects current real estate values in the Company’s Portland market. In addition, $0.9 million relating to equipment value in the Portland market was recorded as a charge in variable interest entities due to the impairment.

U.S. segment operating income of $2.9 million in the quarter was driven by strong systemwide sales growth in the U.S., which resulted in higher rents and royalties and higher distribution income from underlying product demand. Absent the net impact from impairment, as noted above, the U.S. segment was down slightly compared to last year due primarily to an allowance on notes receivable under our U.S. franchise incentive program resulting from a decline in the value of associated collateral.

Corporate Developments

Board declares dividend payment of $0.17 per common share

A quarterly dividend of $0.17 per common share has been declared by the Board of Directors, payable on December 14^th, 2011 to shareholders of record as of November 30^th, 2011.

For U.S. shareholders, dividends paid will be converted to U.S. dollars based on prevailing exchange rates at the time of conversion by Tim Hortons for registered shareholders and by Clearing and Depository Services Inc. for beneficial shareholders.

First international restaurant opened in Dubai

As part of our international expansion strategy the Company signed a Master License Agreement earlier in 2011 that targets up to 120 multi-format restaurants in the Gulf Cooperation Council over five years, including approximately five this year. The first of the planned five locations opened for business in September, with the others planned later in the fourth quarter, and initial response in the local market has been highly positive.

Information on non-GAAP Measure

Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted operating income for 2010 and 2011 deducts 100% of operating income specific to Maidstone, which was sold in the fourth quarter of 2010, and adds back the impact of the net asset impairment charge related to our New England markets in the U.S (see (a) below). Management uses adjusted operating income to assist in the evaluation of year-over-year performance and believes that it will be helpful to investors as a measure of underlying growth rates. This non-GAAP measure is not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s use of the term adjusted operating income may differ from similar measures reported by other companies. The reconciliation of operating income, a GAAP measure, to adjusted operating income, a non-GAAP measure, is set forth in the table below:


	Third quarter ended						Change from prior year
	October 2, 2011			October 3, 2010			$			%

Total systemwide sales growth includes restaurant-level sales at both Company-operated and Franchised restaurants. Approximately 99.5% of our consolidated system is franchised as at October 2^nd, 2011. Systemwide sales growth is determined using a constant exchange rate to exclude the effects of foreign currency translation. U.S. dollar sales are converted to Canadian dollar amounts using the average exchange rate of the base quarter for the period covered. Systemwide sales growth excludes sales from our Republic of Ireland and United Kingdom licensed locations. Systemwide sales growth in Canadian dollars, including the effects of foreign currency translation, was 7.6% for the third quarter ended October 2^nd, 2011 and 6.9% for the same period in 2010.

The Company’s chief decision maker viewed and evaluated the performance of the Canadian segment with Maidstone Bakeries accounted for on an equity accounting basis, which reflects 50% of Maidstone Bakeries’ operating income. As a result, the net revenues and the remaining 50% of operating income of Maidstone Bakeries up to October 29, 2010, the date of disposition, were included in the Variable interest entities line above ($8.3 million and $22.0 million for the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2010, respectively), along with revenues and operating income or loss from our non-owned consolidated restaurants.

⁽²⁾

The third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2011 include asset impairment charges of $1.0 million which primarily reflects current real estate values in the Company’s Portland market. In addition, approximately $1.5 million of accrued closure costs were reversed upon the substantial conclusion of closure activities related to the Company’s New England markets. Both of these items are included in Asset impairment and related closure costs, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

⁽³⁾	The third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2010 include an asset impairment charge of $20.9 million related to the Company’s Portland, Providence and Hartford markets, which were determined to be impaired.

⁽⁴⁾	The third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2011 include an asset impairment charge of $0.9 million related to VIEs in the Portland market.

⁽⁵⁾

Corporate charges include certain overhead costs which are not allocated to individual business segments, the impact of certain foreign currency exchange gains and losses, the net costs associated with executing the Company’s International expansion plans, and the operating income from the Company’s wholly-owned Irish subsidiary, which continues to be managed corporately. In addition, the year-to-date period of 2011 includes $6.3 million of severance charges, advisory fees, and related costs and expenses related to the separation agreement with the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer.

⁽⁶⁾

Beginning in 2011, we have modified certain allocation methods resulting in changes in the classification of certain costs, with the main change being corporate information technology infrastructure costs now being included in Corporate charges rather than in the Canadian operating segment. This change has been consistently applied for all comparative periods.

Sales include canned coffee sales through the grocery channel. Sales also include sales from Company-operated restaurants, sales from certain non-owned restaurants that are consolidated in accordance with ASC 810 and sales from our previously-held bakery joint venture which we were also required to consolidate under ASC 810 prior to the sale of our interest.

Franchise fees		Includes the revenue from initial equipment packages, as well as fees for various costs and expenses related to establishing a restaurant owner’s business.

Cost of sales		Includes costs associated with our distribution business, including cost of goods, direct labour and depreciation, as well as the cost of goods delivered by third-party distributors to the restaurants for which we manage the supply chain logistics, and for canned coffee sold through grocery stores.
