Arcos Dorados’ consolidated results continue to be heavily impacted by Venezuela’s macroeconomic volatility, including the ongoing hyperinflationary environment and the country’s heavily regulated currency. As such, reported results in the quarter reflect significant non-cash accounting impacts from operations in that market. Thus, the discussion of the Company’s operating performance is focused on consolidated results, excluding Venezuela.

Excluding the Company’s Venezuelan operation, as reported revenues increased 5.5% year-over-year. The result primarily reflects constant currency revenue growth of 10.7%, partially offset by a negative impact from currency translation, which mainly resulted from the 25.7% and 3.3% year-over-year average depreciation of the Argentine peso and the Brazilian real, respectively. Constant currency revenue growth was supported by a 9.8% increase in systemwide comparable sales, supported by a favorable shift in mix and positive traffic in all divisions.
First quarter consolidated as reported Adjusted EBITDA, excluding Venezuela, increased 12.5% or 15.9% in constant currency terms, with revenue growth and margin expansion in all divisions, except for the Caribbean. The Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 60 basis points to 8.5%, driven by efficiencies in Food and Paper (F&P), Payroll, and Occupancy and Other Operating Expenses, partially offset by higher Royalty Fees.
As reported, consolidated G&A increased by 5.1% year-over-year, and remained flat as a percentage of revenues.
Main variations in other operating income (expenses), net
Included in Adjusted EBITDA: In the first quarter of 2018, the Company recorded an inventory write down of $41.3 million, related to the devaluation in Venezuela, compared to an inventory write down of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2017. Proceeds from refranchising were less than $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2018 as well as in the prior year comparable quarter.
Excluded from Adjusted EBITDA: In the first quarter of 2018, the Company recorded $0.2 million from its re-development initiative, compared with $51.9 million in the first quarter of 2017.
Non-operating Results
Non-operating results for the first quarter reflected a non-cash $1.8 million foreign currency exchange loss, versus a non-cash loss of $8.4 million last year. Net interest expense was $1.8 million lower year-over-year.
The Company reported an income tax expense of $12.9 million in the quarter, compared to an income tax expense of $21.4 million in the prior year period.
First quarter net income attributable to the Company totaled $13.6 million ($0.5 million, including Venezuela), compared to net income of $41.0 million ($40.6 million, including Venezuela) in the same period of 2017. The prior year result included $51.9 million from the Company’s re-development initiative compared with $0.2 million this year. The Company concluded the redevelopment program in 2017.
The Company reported earnings per share of $0.06 ($0.00, including Venezuela) in the first quarter of 2018, compared to earnings per share of $0.19 (also $0.19, including Venezuela) in the previous corresponding period. Total weighted average shares for the first quarter of 2018 were 211,072,508, as compared to 210,711,224 in the prior year quarter.

Brazil’s as reported revenues increased by 1.3%, supported by constant currency growth outpacing a negative currency translation impact from the 3.3% average depreciation of the Brazilian real. Excluding currency translation, constant currency revenues grew 4.5% year-over-year, while total systemwide sales grew 7.4% in constant currency. This reflects the impact of the refranchising of certain company-operated restaurants during the last twelve months. An increase in the number of franchised restaurants reduces the Company’s total revenue comparisons, as company-operated restaurant sales are replaced by rental income received from the Company’s franchisees. In the quarter, systemwide comparable sales rose 4.6%, driven by a higher average check and continued restaurant traffic growth.
Marketing activities in the quarter, which were designed to sustainably stimulate top-line growth without negatively impacting gross margins, included the launch of the Batata Rústica campaign and the introduction of the Big Tasty Duplo & Chicken Bacon sandwiches, among others. Also in the quarter, the Company launched the McFlurry “Alpino” and “Triplo Chocolate Kopenhagen” in the Dessert category and included “Snoopy” in the Happy Meal.
As reported Adjusted EBITDA increased 8.9% year-over-year and 12.1% on a constant currency basis. The Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 100 basis points to 13.4%, mainly through capturing efficiencies in F&P costs. Brazil Royalty Fee was partially offset by Growth Support received from McDonald’s Corporation during the quarter.

NOLAD’s as reported revenues increased 15.2% year-over-year, supported by constant currency growth of 11.9% and an 8% year-over-year average appreciation of the Mexican peso. Systemwide comparable sales increased 11.4%, mainly driven by an increase in traffic across all the division’s markets, combined with a favorable shift in mix. Notably, Mexico guest traffic continues to perform strongly, having recorded the highest comparable growth rate since the formation of Arcos Dorados in 2007. In addition to the positive Easter calendar shift, the Company’s innovative marketing and digital initiatives as well as its focus on delivering a better guest experience are driving the improved performance.
Marketing activities in the quarter included a new phase of the affordability platform “McTrío 3x3” in Mexico and the introduction of the “Caprese” premium burger in the Signature Line. The dessert category performed well with the launch of the McFlurry Crunch Rocks. Also in the quarter, the Company included “Ty Beanie Boos” and “Snoopy” in the Happy Meal.
As reported Adjusted EBITDA increased by 40.1%, or by 41.9% on a constant currency basis. The Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of 130 basis points to 7.5% in the first quarter reflects efficiencies in all cost line items, except Royalty Fees.

Quarter Highlights & Recent Developments
Recent accounting pronouncements – Revenue recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the guidance issued in Accounting Standards Codification 606, "Revenue Recognition - Revenue from Contracts with Customers." This standard changed the way initial fees from franchisees for new restaurant openings and new franchise terms are recognized. Under the new guidance, initial franchise fees are being recognized evenly over the franchise term rather than immediately upon receipt. For further information, please refer to Note #3 of our quarterly financial statements (Form 6-K), filed today with the SEC.
Annual General Shareholders Meeting
The Company held its Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on April 24, 2018. All proposals were approved.
Election of Class I Directors
Mr. Woods Staton, Mr. Ricardo Gutiérrez, Mr. Sergio Alonso and Mr. Francisco Staton have been duly elected as Class I Directors of the Board of Directors of the Company, to hold office until the conclusion of the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting held in the calendar year 2021. Mr. Francisco Staton was elected to the Board of Directors for the first time. Mr. Staton graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree from Princeton University and an MBA from Columbia University, and is currently the Managing Director of Arcos Dorados’ Colombia, Aruba, Curaçao, and Trinidad markets.
Definitions:
Systemwide comparable sales growth: refers to the change, measured in constant currency, in our Company-operated and franchised restaurant sales in one period from a comparable period for restaurants that have been open for thirteen months or longer. While sales by our franchisees are not recorded as revenues by us, we believe the information is important in understanding our financial performance because these sales are the basis on which we calculate and record franchised revenues, and are indicative of the financial health of our franchisee base.
Constant currency basis: refers to amounts calculated using the same exchange rate over the periods under comparison to remove the effects of currency fluctuations from this trend analysis.
To better discern underlying business trends, this release uses non-GAAP financial measures that segregate year-over-year growth into two categories: (i) currency translation, (ii) constant currency growth. (i) Currency translation reflects the impact on growth of the appreciation or depreciation of the local currencies in which we conduct our business against the US dollar (the currency in which our financial statements are prepared). (ii) Constant currency growth reflects the underlying growth of the business excluding the effect from currency translation.
Adjusted EBITDA: In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with the general accepted accounting principles (GAAP), within this press release and the accompanying tables, we use a non-GAAP financial measure titled ‘Adjusted EBITDA’. We use Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as our operating income plus depreciation and amortization plus/minus the following losses/gains included within other operating income (expenses), net, and within general and administrative expenses in our statement of income: gains from sale or insurance recovery of property and equipment; write-offs of property and equipment; impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill; and incremental compensation related to the modification of our 2008 long-term incentive plan.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations such as capital structures (affecting net interest expense and other financial charges), taxation (affecting income tax expense) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense), which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Figure 10 of this earnings release include a reconciliation for Adjusted EBITDA. For more information, please see Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation in Note 9 of our quarterly financial statements (6-K Form) filed today with the S.E.C.
