  Content	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 and six months ended June 30, 2025. Message from Luis Raganato, Chief Executive Officer The results we are reporting today demonstrate the strength of the Arcos Dorados business model. Each of our markets faced a unique set of operating conditions and each delivered strong results within the context of their individual environments. By staying true to our Purpose, we strengthened our bond with guests and expanded our brand preference throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, Making Every Day an Opportunity to Feed People and Build Dreams. Brazil remained resilient despite challenging consumer dynamics, NOLAD showed that the first quarter calendar effects were only temporary and SLAD continued the strong positive trajectory that began at the end of last year. Combined, the three divisions drove local currency revenue almost 15% higher versus the prior year quarter. Systemwide comparable sales growth was particularly strong in NOLAD and SLAD, rising 1.8x and 1.4x blended inflation, respectively. Market share saw robust gains across the region according to our research, thanks to marketing and digital initiatives focused on value and Brand strength, together with an ever-growing Loyalty Program that is successfully increasing guest visit frequency. The Big Fest digital campaign, Minecraft Happy Meal (for both kids and adults) and the limited-time Formula One promotion all helped strengthen the brand attributes that keep guests coming back to our restaurants. The diversified nature of our business model also drove strong profitability in the quarter, despite important cost pressures in some markets. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA declined as reported, but was up 7.1% in US dollars with a 40 basis point margin expansion, when we adjust last year's result for a reduction of labor contingencies due to a favorable judgement in Brazil. Finally, our growth plan remains intact, and we opened 20 new EOTF restaurants in the period. This year's growth trajectory also includes the addition of our 21 st market: Saint Martin. We believe the choice of Arcos Dorados as the new operator in Saint Martin is a testament to our operational excellence and commitment to growth in the region. We remain convinced there is compelling growth potential for our business and our shareholders for many years to come. For definitions, please refer to page 7 of this document.

Net income (loss) attributable to AD Net income attributable to AD Margin -0.4 p.p. No. of shares outstanding (thousands) EPS (US$/Share) Arcos Dorados' total revenues reached $1.1 billion, up 2.8% in US dollars versus the prior year quarter. The Company's comparable systemwide sales rose 12.1% in the quarter, driven by strong sales in NOLAD and SLAD, which grew 1.8x and 1.4x blended inflation, respectively. The consumer environment remained challenging in Brazil during the second quarter of 2025. The Company's Digital strategy continued to support sales growth. Digital channel sales rose 7.9% in the period, generating more than 60% of the second quarter's systemwide sales. By the end of the second quarter of 2025, the Company's Loyalty Program was active in 67% of all restaurants in its footprint. The Program remains on target to be available in all main markets by year-end 2025. Offered in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Uruguay, the Loyalty Program reached 21.5 million registered members at the end of the second quarter and was responsible for 22.6% of total sales in these markets. The Company's digital channels supported campaigns designed to strengthen the bond with guests and adapt to changing consumer preferences. This included the Big Fest, which celebrated core favorites at a compelling value, resulting in increased Brand Preference, improved Brand Attributes and strong growth in both Mobile App downloads and Loyalty Program membership. In Brazil, the successful “Méqui do Dia” campaign, offered one menu favorite per day at a compelling value, while the Minecraft Happy Meal enjoyed crossover appeal to both kids and adults throughout the region, which was optimized by offering a unique adult Happy Meal with chicken McNuggets. Arcos Dorados' regional Formula 1 sponsorship also served to strengthen ties with families and guests of all ages. Capitalizing on the popularity of Formula 1, The Movie , the Company introduced a limited-edition sandwich and collectible race cars, exclusive to McDonald's restaurants. The campaign was extremely successful, selling out in just a matter of days or weeks, in each market. Finally, given the increasingly competitive nature of the dessert category, the Company remained committed to keeping its menu at an affordable price and brought innovation to its dessert platform by leveraging a favorite McDonald's character with the Grimace Shake and by adding more local flavors to its McFlurry offerings. Adjusted EBITDA declined in US dollars mainly due to margin pressure in Brazil from higher beef costs this year and a reduction of labor contingencies in the prior year. Excluding the reduction of labor contingencies, consolidated Adjusted EBITDA rose 7.1% and Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 40 basis points versus the prior year period. Efficiencies in Payroll (excluding the labor contingency reduction in Brazil from the 2Q24) and Occupancy and other operating expenses, mainly in Brazil and SLAD, were offset by the abovementioned Food & Paper cost pressures. Net income attributable to the Company totaled $22.6 million in the second quarter of 2025, which represented a net income margin of 2.0%. The decrease in comparison with the prior year quarter was mainly explained by a lower reported Adjusted EBITDA margin and reduced non-cash foreign exchange results. Arcos Dorados recorded earnings of $0.11 per share in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $0.13 per share in the prior year period. Total weighted average shares amounted to 210,663,057 in the second quarter compared to 210,660,444 in the prior year's quarter. Notable items in the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation Included in Adjusted EBITDA : Brazil's result in the second quarter of 2024 included a $16.0 million positive impact from the reduction of labor contingencies due to a favorable judgement. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2025 included a $6.9 million gain in Mexico and the second quarter of 2024 included a $4.2 million gain in Chile, both related to restaurant transactions with sub-franchisees in those markets. Excluded from Adjusted EBITDA : there were no notable items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in either the second quarter of 2025 or the second quarter of 2024.

In order to access the webcast, members of the investment community should follow this link: Arcos Dorados Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Webcast A replay of the webcast will be available later today in the investor section of the Company's website: https://ir.arcosdorados.com/ 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, and impairment of long-lived assets. 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 for Adjusted EBITDA. For more information, please see Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation in Note 9 – Segment and geographic information – of our financial statements (6-K Form) filed today with the S.E.C. 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: (i) currency translation and (ii) constant currency growth. (i) 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). (ii) 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.
