Equity Market Risk
Our objective in managing our exposure to changes in the market value of our investments is to balance the risk
of the impact of these changes on their earnings and cash flows with their expectations for long-term investment
returns.
Overall Market Risk
Our overall market risk as of January 1, 2012 with the exception of our equity investment in TimWen was not
material. As of January 1, 2012 and January 2, 2011, our investment in TimWen was classified in the consolidated
balance sheets as follows (in millions):
Year End 2011
Type
At
Cost

Value
(a)
Carrying

Non-current equity investment (b) ................................ $63.2 $91.7 $91.7
Year End 2010

Non-current equity investment (b) ................................ $80.7 $98.6 $98.6
(a) There was no assurance at January 1, 2012 or January 2, 2011 that the Companies would have been able to sell
this investment at this amount.
(b) The Companies believe that the fair value of their equity interest in TimWen is at least equal to its carrying value
as there have been no indications of its impairment.
Wendy’s is a partner in TimWen and our 50% share of the joint venture is accounted for in accordance with
the equity method of accounting.
Sensitivity Analysis
Market risk exposure for The Wendy’s Company and Wendy’s Restaurants is presented for each class of
financial instruments held by the Companies at January 1, 2012 and January 2, 2011 for which an immediate adverse
market movement would cause a potential material impact on their financial position or results of operations. We
believe that the adverse market movements described below represent the hypothetical loss to our financial position or
our results of operations and do not represent the maximum possible loss nor any expected actual loss, even under
adverse conditions, because actual adverse fluctuations would likely differ. As of January 1, 2012, we did not hold any
market-risk sensitive instruments, which were entered into for trading purposes.
As such, the table below reflects the risk for those financial instruments entered into as of January 1, 2012 and
January 2, 2011 based upon assumed immediate adverse effects as noted below (in millions):
