Montevideo, Uruguay, March 19, 2026 – Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ARCO) (“Arcos Dorados” or the “Company”), Latin America and the Caribbean’s largest restaurant chain and the world’s largest independent McDonald’s franchisee, today reported unaudited results for the three months, and audited results for the twelve months, ended December 31, 2025.

Message from Luis Raganato, Chief Executive Officer

Among our competitive strengths are a strong brand, a resilient business model, and a culture built around operational excellence to support long-term shareholder value creation. These strengths delivered some of the Company’s best financial results last year, while protecting or expanding our industry-leading market share and maintaining a strong bond with the communities we serve.

Full year systemwide comparable sales grew in line with the Company’s blended inflation in 2025, driven mainly by the strength of the South Latin American Division as well as Mexico. Profitability in 2025 reached a new high, with $575.2 million in Adjusted EBITDA and US dollar growth in all three divisions.

Digital sales, generated through the Mobile App, Delivery and Self-order Kiosks, accounted for 61% of systemwide sales in 2025. Additionally, as of the end of 2025, our Loyalty Program was available in more than 90% of our restaurants and had more than 27 million registered members.

For the full year, we opened 102 restaurants across the region, just above our guidance range for the year and 17 more than we opened in 2024. We did this with lower total capital expenditures versus the prior year, which contributed to a significant increase in our net cash from operations minus capital expenditures versus 2024. We are committed to finding additional efficiencies in our growth investments over the next few years.

The McDonald’s brand is stronger than ever in Latin America and the Caribbean, serving more than 4 million guests every day in more than 2,500 restaurants, across 21 countries and territories. We entered 2026 with a focus on increasing the efficiency of the business and monetizing the significant market share gains of the last several years. Looking ahead, we believe we can continue to leverage this strong foundation to support a new phase of profitable growth for Arcos Dorados and all its stakeholders.

Arcos Dorados’ total revenues reached $1.3 billion, up 10.7% in US dollars versus the prior year quarter. The Company’s systemwide comparable sales rose 16.0% in the quarter, which was in-line with its blended inflation rate. Brazil’s systemwide comparable sales improved relative to the third quarter of 2025, while Mexico and Argentina supported the consolidated result with systemwide comparable sales growth of 1.5x and 1.3x blended inflation, respectively.

The Company’s Digital strategy continued to support sales growth. Digital channel sales rose 18.7% in the period and represented 62% of the fourth quarter’s systemwide sales. Performance was notably strong in Self-order kiosk, Delivery and Loyalty sales versus the prior year. The strength in Self-order kiosk sales reinforces the continued relevance of the on-premise restaurant experience in the region’s quick-service restaurant industry.

By the end of 2025, the Company’s Loyalty Program was active in nine countries, with Mexico and Chile added to the Program during the fourth quarter. The Loyalty platform is now available in all main markets, completing the planned year-end 2025 rollout with 27.2 million registered members.

Marketing activities strengthened consumer connections with the brand through a series of campaigns and initiatives during the quarter. A fully integrated menu strategy, leveraging the cultural relevance of the Stranger Things Netflix series, boosted sales and drove high levels of engagement and meaningful brand conversations among consumers. Several markets also offered compelling value platforms, including EconoMéqui in Brazil and McXMenos in Chile, both of which performed well with price-sensitive consumers. Menu innovation in the quarter included a new chicken sandwich in Colombia and limited-time flavors within the dessert category, such as Ovomaltine in Brazil. Additionally, Happy Meal sales benefited from engaging campaigns for all ages, built around popular licensed properties such as Friends, Zootopia 2, and Disney Villains.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, Arcos Dorados recognized a net tax benefit in Brazil, with a positive impact of $33.8 million. Of this amount, $20.5 million impacted Operating income, while $13.3 million impacted interest income.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, consolidated Adjusted EBITDA included a benefit of $13.6 million related to payroll tax credits in Brazil.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.6% and 12.9% in the fourth quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Even excluding the tax benefit in each respective period, fourth quarter 2025 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 30 basis points versus the prior year period.

The main drivers of the underlying Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion were: (i) higher Food and Paper, with higher costs in NOLAD and SLAD partly offset by lower costs in Brazil, (ii) lower payroll expenses, thanks to better results in Brazil and SLAD, with nearly flat payroll expenses in NOLAD, (iii) an improvement in Occupancy and other operating expenses in all three divisions, and (iv) lower general & administrative expenses (G&A), in each case, as a percentage of revenue.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $25.2 million, compared with $58.4 million in the prior year period. The decrease was mainly driven by a higher income tax expense as well as a reorganization and optimization expense that was excluded from Adjusted EBITDA (see below).

Net income margin attributable to the Company was 2.0% in the period compared to 5.1% in the prior year for the reasons mentioned above.

Arcos Dorados recorded earnings of $0.12 per share in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $0.28 per share in the prior year period. Total weighted average shares were 210,663,057 in both periods.

Notable Items

Included in Adjusted EBITDA: The result in the fourth quarter of 2025 included $20.5 million related to the aforementioned net tax benefit in Brazil.

Additionally, the result for the fourth quarter of 2024 included a $13.6 million positive impact from payroll tax credits in Brazil.

Excluded from Adjusted EBITDA: In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company executed plans to restructure and enhance efficiencies in its operations. As a result, the Company incurred $8.7 million in reorganization and optimization expenses, which were recorded within G&A.

Definitions

In analyzing business trends, management considers a variety of performance and financial measures which are considered to be non-GAAP including: Adjusted EBITDA, Constant Currency basis, Systemwide sales, and Systemwide comparable sales growth.

Adjusted EBITDA: In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with the general accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables use a non-GAAP financial measure titled ‘Adjusted EBITDA’. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the Company’s operating income plus depreciation and amortization plus/minus the following losses/gains: gains from sale or insurance recovery of property and equipment, write-offs of long-lived assets, impairment of long-lived assets, and reorganization and optimization plan expenses.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations such as capital structures (affecting net interest expense and other financing results), taxation (affecting income tax expense) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense), which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Figure 5 of this earnings release includes a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income attributable to Arcos Dorados. For more information, please see the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation in Note 22 – Segment and geographic information – of our financial statements filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form 6-K.

Constant Currency basis: refers to amounts calculated using the same exchange rate over the periods under comparison to remove the effects of currency fluctuations from this trend analysis. To better discern underlying business trends, this release uses non-GAAP financial measures that segregate year-over-year growth into two categories:

Currency translation reflects the impact on growth of the appreciation or depreciation of the local currencies in which the Company conducts its business against the US dollar (the currency in which the Company’s financial statements are prepared).

Constant currency growth reflects the underlying growth of the business excluding the effect from currency translation. The Company also calculates variations as a percentage in constant currency, which are also considered to be non-GAAP measures, to provide a more meaningful analysis of its business by identifying the underlying business trends, without distortion from the effect of foreign currency fluctuations.

Systemwide sales: Systemwide sales represent measures for both Company-operated and sub-franchised restaurants. While sales by sub-franchisees are not recorded as revenues by the Company, management believes the information is important in understanding its financial performance because these sales are the basis on which it calculates and records sub-franchised restaurant revenues and are indicative of the financial health of its sub-franchisee base.

Systemwide comparable sales growth: this non-GAAP measure, refers to the change, on a constant currency basis, in Company-operated and sub-franchised restaurant sales in one period from a comparable period for restaurants that have been open for thirteen months or longer (year-over-year basis) including those temporarily closed. Management believes it is a key performance indicator used within the retail industry and is indicative of the success of the Company’s initiatives as well as local economic, competitive and consumer trends. Sales by sub-franchisees are not recorded as revenues by the Company.
