In this document, we rely on and refer to information regarding the restaurant industry, the quick service restaurant segment and the fast food hamburger restaurant category that has been prepared by the industry research firm The NPD Group, Inc. (which prepares and disseminates Consumer Reported Eating Share Trends, or CREST data) or compiled from market research reports, analyst reports and other publicly available information. All industry and market data that are not cited as being from a specified source are from internal analysis based upon data available from known sources or other proprietary research and analysis. All financial information within this document has been rounded to one place past the decimal point. 2 Table of Contents Item 1. Business Overview Burger King Holdings, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation formed on July 23, 2002. Our restaurant system includes restaurants owned by the Company and by franchisees. We are the world’s second largest fast food hamburger restaurant, or FFHR, chain as measured by the total number of restaurants and system−wide sales. As of June 30, 2010, we owned or franchised a total of 12,174 restaurants in 76 countries and U.S. territories, of which 1,387 restaurants were Company restaurants and 10,787 were owned by our franchisees. Of these restaurants, 7,258 or 60% were located in the United States and 4,916 or 40% were located in our international markets. Our restaurants feature flame−broiled hamburgers, chicken and other specialty sandwiches, french fries, soft drinks and other affordably−priced food items. During our more than 50 years of operating history, we have developed a scalable and cost−efficient quick service hamburger restaurant model that offers customers fast food at affordable prices. We generate revenues from three sources: (1) retail sales at Company restaurants; (2) franchise revenues, consisting of royalties based on a percentage of sales reported by franchise restaurants and franchise fees paid by franchisees; and (3) property income from restaurants that we lease or sublease to franchisees. Approximately 90% of our current restaurants are franchised and we have a higher percentage of franchise restaurants to Company restaurants than our major competitors in the FFHR category. We expect that the percentage of franchise restaurants will increase as franchisees open new restaurants and as we accelerate sales of Company restaurants to franchisees, or “refranchisings,” over the next five years. We believe that this restaurant ownership mix provides us with a strategic advantage because the capital required to grow and maintain the Burger King ® system is funded primarily by franchisees, while still giving us a base of Company restaurants to demonstrate credibility with franchisees in launching new initiatives. As a result of the high percentage of franchise restaurants in our system, we believe we have lower capital requirements compared to our major competitors. However, our franchise dominated business model also presents a number of drawbacks and risks, such as our limited control over franchisees and limited ability to facilitate changes in restaurant ownership. In addition, our operating results are closely tied to the success of our franchisees, and we are dependent on franchisees to open new restaurants as part of our growth strategy. Our History Burger King Corporation, which we refer to as BKC, was founded in 1954 when James McLamore and David Edgerton opened the first Burger King restaurant in Miami, Florida. The Whopper ® sandwich was introduced in 1957. BKC opened its first international restaurant in the Bahamas in 1966. BKC also established its brand identity with the introduction of the “bun halves” logo in 1969 and the launch of the first Have It Your Way® campaign in 1974.

    FRESH BRAND FLAME-BROILED BKC BUSINESS ANNUAL REPORT APPETIZING 2006 INVESTMENT ALL HAIL THE BKC FRESH BRAND FLAME-BROILED BUSINESS APPETIZING INVESTMENT When the first Burger King ® restaurant opened its doors back in 1954, our founders had a smart idea: serve great-tasting food fast and allow guests to customize their hamburgers their way. Much has changed for Burger King in the half century since our founders sold the first Whopper ® sandwiches at a Miami, Florida, drive-up hamburger stand, but these core principles have remained. Our signature Burger King and flame-broiled Whopper brands, together with our Have It Your Way ® brand promise, distinguish us in the competitive marketplace. Through our attention to individual restaurant guests’ preferences along with our great-tasting food, we’ve become the world’s second largest fast food hamburger restaurant chain. We own or franchise more than 11,100 restaurants in more than 65 countries and U.S. territories. And on May 18, 2006, we became a stand-alone publicly traded company for the first time, trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol BKC. OPPORTUNITY HE GETS SUPERFANS PUMPED HE SCORES IN THE NFL HE’S IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD HE TAKES THE CHECKERED FLAG OUR BRAND IS KING(and the world is eating it up) 03 BKC has become a cultural icon in his own right.

  • Mcdonald's Case History, 2006–2015
    McDonald’s Case History, 2006–2015 Larry Light and Joan Kiddon As a companion to the book, we include this online case history of McDonald’s using only published information. The original Six Rules book described the 2002–2005 McDonald’s turnaround and our role in that business success. In this case, we detail the years 2006–2015 to show how the brand surfed the turnaround momentum and eventually found itself in need of another revitalization. The new McDonald’s turnaround is still in its infancy as this case comes online with our new book on the revised Six Rules. Hopefully, the initial success of the third‐quarter 2015 performance is the beginning of another new era at McDonald’s. At the end of this case, there are some questions for you to think about. In answering these questions, you will need to synthesize the information over the 10‐year period discussed, 2006–2015. As you read the book and learn about the ways brands fall into trouble, get out of trouble, and can stay out of trouble, you will see these brought to life in this McDonald’s case. McDonald’s Case History Year 2006 THE STATE OF THE BRAND The Situation By the end of December 2005, Russ Smythe, head of Europe, Claire Babrowski, head of operations, and Marvin Whaley, president Asia operations, had resigned. Larry Light had ended his three‐year contract and was slated to leave January 1, 2006. By August, Mike Roberts, chief operating officer (COO), would be gone as well. And soon after that, Bill Lamar, head of marketing for North America, would retire.
