Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. 2017 Annual Report Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. 2017 Annual Report April 27, 2018 Dear Fellow Stockholders: 2017 was a year of continued progress at Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. and we were pleased with our accomplishments, which included crossing the $1 billion mark in restaurant sales and increasing our unit count to more than 800 restaurants. We are proud to reach these milestones and intend to build upon them as we further position the Company for continued groowth. Total revenues in 2017 were $1.09 billion, an increase of 15.4% over the prior year, including $210.3 million in restaurant sales from the 175 restaurants acquired from 2015 to 2017. Comparable restaurant sales growth in 2017 of 5.2% yielded a strong 7.5% two-yyear trend, which outpaced most of our quick- service restaurant peers. Despite higher beef costs and wwage inflation, we also increased Adjusted EBITDA in 2017 to $91.4 million from $89.5 million in the prior year. BURGER KING®’s marketing strategy continues to effectively balance premium, value, and limited time product offerings to drive sales, average check, and customer traffic in a highly competitive environment. Premium offerings during the year included a number of products built around our new King™ sandwich platform and our new Crispy Chicken Sandwich. Notable value oofferings included the 2 for $6 WHOPPER® promotion, 2 cheeseburgers with small fries and a drink for $3.49, and 2 for $4 Mix and Match breakfast sandwiches, among others. In 2017, we acquired 64 BURGER KING restaurants in three separate transactions, consisting of 43 in Ohio (Cincinnati market), 17 in Maryland (Baltimore - Washington, DC market), and four in Maine. The integration of these restaurants is progressing well following the implementation of our systems and as we apply our operating and financial disciplines to improve booth sales and operating margins. Acquisitions continue to be important to our longer-termm growth strategy to build shareholder value, supported by our control of Burger King’s right of first refusal in 20 states, and our significant presence in these markets. Our wide geographic footprint also provides opportunities to fill-in markets through selective new restaurant development. We opened 11 new restaurants in 2017, the most we have opened in several years, and also remodeled 34 locations. At year-end over 75% of our restaurants featured the 20/20 design image. In 2018, we anticipate constructing 10 to 15 nnew restaurants and remodeling another 30 to 35 locations. Let me thank the entire Carrols team for their tireless efforts as well as our stockholders for their ongoing support. Our achievements would not be possible without your confidence. We believe that the Company is well positioned for continued success as we move into 20118 and beyond. Sincerely, Daniel T.
