(all figures in EUR millions unless stated otherwise) LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS Dear Shareholders, It is a great pleasure for me to present herein the AmRest Holdings SE financial report for the full year 2019. It was a year characterized by meaningful strategic and operational progress and by organizational changes in preparation for the company’s continued future success. The appointment of the new CEO and several members of the executive team set the tone for our strategy to build on the foundations focused on operating a portfolio of class-leading brands, employing the best and most committed people in the industry, and leveraging the scale we have gained across the markets where we are active. During the company’s annual strategic offsite meeting, the Board of Directors established the priorities for the coming years, which include accelerating organic expansion through franchisees and a disciplined mergers & acquisitions strategy; increasing profitability, mainly in Western Europe; continuing our efforts to consolidate leadership in the home delivery segment; maintaining healthy leverage levels; offering our employees exciting growth opportunities; and continuing to support our corporate social responsibility initiatives. The purpose of all this is to transform AmRest into the leading and most profitable restaurant operator in Europe. The mindset of growth is deeply ingrained in every single employee and evident in actions at every level, from executive to store management. We have successfully adapted to an environment of constant change and cost headwinds, while continuing to expand our business at a dynamic pace and to strengthen our leadership position across markets and roles within the organization. AmRest’s operational skills and execution at the restaurant level have been well supported by our initiatives focusing on digitalization, efficient supply chain management, and strategies in online food delivery, all of which contributed to another year of solid performance. Consolidated revenue increased by 27% year over year, to EUR 1 962 million; even adjusting for recently acquired businesses, revenue grew 16.4%. The group’s comparable EBITDA (excluding IFRS 16) grew 43% and reached EUR 248 million. In 2019 the company opened 264 new restaurants, for a total of 2,339, and we are well positioned to accelerate the pace of organic expansion in the upcoming years. We see substantial room for growth and are confident that our teams are capable of supporting and executing our plans very well. Following a series of acquisitions over the course of the past few years, in the last twelve months we focused on the integration and reorganization of the acquired businesses in order to optimize business setup and models, leverage identified synergies, and prepare the brands for accelerated growth. Importantly, we have successfully aligned the businesses we have acquired with AmRest’s communication, strategy, and culture. Going forward, we will begin to see the benefits of integration efforts that we embarked on last year and continue to unlock additional synergies focusing mainly on supply, product development, procurement, and services. The Digital and Delivery division has been an important contributor to growth over the past year and will remain an important focus for us going forward. We have enhanced our capabilities

  • Market Insights Restaurants Dealreader
    Restaurants DealReader 2H 2018 Market Insights 2018 was a busy year for M&A in the restaurant sector and appetite for investments remains robust headed into 2019. Despite recent macro variability and the sector facing a number of challenges, primarily related to traffic and minimum wage hikes, strategic acquirers, private equity groups and family offices continue to be active. Investors with multi-brand portfolios are typically seeking investments that can either provide incremental growth (particularly if their current portfolio has experienced flat-to-negative comps), expand their competencies (especially related to digital technology) or provide meaningful synergies from day one (although buyers are not as forthcoming in pricing in such synergies to the valuations). In regards to growth equity, we expect strong activity to continue in 2019, especially for differentiated fast casual concepts. Investors will continue to be interested in concepts that are on-trend (e.g., healthy, better-for- you menu), have demonstrated strong consumer engagement, have a model that is proven across multiple geographies (without any store closures) and that have a well-defined growth story in terms of scaling up.

  • AMREST an Effective Recipe for Robust Global License Management
    AMREST An Effective Recipe for Robust Global License Management COMPANY BACKGROUND AmRest operates restaurants such as Burger King, Pizza Hut and Starbucks in Central Europe, Eastern Europe and as far afield as China. It uses numerous retail and business software applications – from point-of-sale to engineering and business software – to support more than 25,000 staff. CHALLENGE Without strong controls in place, license management was extremely painstaking. Obtaining the right information regarding licenses and entitlement involved analyzing a mass of data. With multiple audits from major vendors to manage, accurate discovery for an IT estate across a global operation was a prerequisite for ensuring the company was correctly licensed. SNOW’S CONTRIBUTION The Snow Platform, comprising Snow License Manager, Snow Inventory and Software Recognition Service, is installed on-premiseSnow enables the company to identify license risks and provides a platform for effective Software Asset Management. BUSINESS BENEFITS • Accurate inventory and discovery giving full visibility and insight into actual license usage • Identification of more than €150,000 of unlicensed and unauthorized software • Optimization of licenses and significant cost reduction • Introduction of business unit charge backs for license costs • Creation of a white list of approved applications SAM HERO Pawel Szczepaniak, Software License Manager at AmRest, explains the benefits of devoting resource to strong license management. “In less than 12 months thanks to Snow, I have been able to transform how the company views license management. As a result, the need for a new role was created to focus specifically manage and optimize licenses across AmRest’s global operations.” SNOWSOFTWARE.COM MANAGING EXPENSIVE SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS “Using Snow, we have identified AmRest is the largest independent restaurant operator in more than €100,000 of unlicensed Central and Eastern Europe.
