Consideration: USD 1.0B

RBI’s 2021 annual filing reports approximately $1.033 billion total consideration, subject to post-closing adjustments.

Basis

  • Reported EV is $1 billion, identified as total enterprise value in RBI’s transaction presentation. RBI’s annual filing separately reports approximately $1.033 billion total consideration, subject to post-closing adjustments; this is not substituted for the stated EV. Firehouse Subs was expected to generate roughly $50 million of 2021E adjusted EBITDA. The approximately 20x EV/EBITDA is approximate arithmetic, not a separately reported multiple. The approximately $1.1 billion 2021E system-wide sales figure is restaurant operating sales, not corporate revenue; franchise sales are not recorded as revenues. Approximate arithmetic: $1 billion reported EV divided by roughly $50 million of 2021E adjusted EBITDA. RBI estimated roughly $50 million of 2021E adjusted EBITDA. The 20x multiple is approximate arithmetic, not a separately reported exact multiple.
