(In Millions)
Wendy’s......................................... $1,603.3 $530.8
Arby’s ........................................... (67.3) 18.1
$1,536.0 $548.9
The increase in sales in both 2009 and 2008 was primarily due to the Wendy’s Merger. In addition, sales
for the 53rd week in 2009 for Wendy’s and Arby’s were $35.3 million and $15.9 million, respectively.
Wendy’s North America Company-owned same-store sales for 2009, excluding the impact of fewer restaurants
serving breakfast in 2009 as compared to 2008 and the effect of the 53rd week in 2009, would have decreased
approximately 0.3%. In 2009, Arby’s sales decrease was primarily attributable to the 8.2% decrease in Arby’s
North America Company-owned same-store sales. In 2008, Arby’s sales increase was attributable to the $80.0
million increase in sales from the 70 net Arby’s North America Company-owned restaurants added in 2008 as
substantially offset by a $61.9 million decrease in sales due to a 5.8% decrease in Arby’s North America
Company-owned same-store sales. Of the 45 net restaurants acquired from franchisees in 2008, 41 are in the
California market (the “California Restaurants”) and were purchased from a franchisee on January 14, 2008 (the
