Non-GAAP Measure Description
(5)     The Company’s Selected Measure (“CSM) is Adjusted EBITDA which is a non-GAAP measure defined by the Company as net earnings (loss) on a GAAP basis excluding income taxes, interest expense, net, gains on the sale of company-operated restaurants, other operating expense (income), net, goodwill impairment, depreciation and amortization, amortization of cloud computing costs, amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases and subleases, net, amortization of franchise tenant improvement allowances and incentives, net COLI (gains) losses, and pension and post-retirement benefit cost. See Appendix A — Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measurements to GAAP Results. We chose Adjusted EBITDA as our Company Selected Measure for evaluating Pay versus Performance because it is the key metric for measuring operational performance and is the primary metric used in our annual incentive targets (with 50% weighting).
