4 March 2010 NZX

RESTAURANT BRANDS FORECASTS ANNUAL PROFIT UP 67% TO $19.5M

A combination of stronger than expected trading over the last quarter of the year (especially from its KFC stores) and the successful resolution of a pricing review with a major supplier has meant that the company will deliver a trading result ahead of previous expectations for the year. Restaurant Brands now anticipates its full year net profit after tax (excluding non trading items) for the year ended 28 February 2010 will be in the vicinity of $19.5 million (20 cents per share). This will represent an improvement of $7.8 million or 67% on the prior year's result.

The annual profit announcement will be made on 7 April 2010.
