Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation, and certain information that management may discuss in connection with this presentation, 
contains certain statements that are not historical facts, including information concerning possible or assumed
future results of our operations. Those statements constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (The “Reform Act”). For all forward-looking statements, we claim
the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Reform Act.
Many important factors could affect our future results and could cause those results to differ materially from those
expressed in or implied by our forward-looking statements. Such factors, all of which are difficult or impossible to
predict accurately, and many of which are beyond our control, include but are not limited to those identified under
the caption “Forward-Looking Statements” in our news release issued on May 8, 2013 and in the “Special Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Projections” and “Risk Factors” sections of our most recent Form 10-K /
Form 10-Qs.
In addition, this presentation and certain information management may discuss in connection with this presentation
reference non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per share. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per
share exclude certain expenses, net of certain benefits. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the Appendix to this presentation, and are included in
our news release issued on May 8, 2013 and posted on www.aboutwendys.com.
