COMPANY MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

Mr. Yongchen Lu, CEO & Director of Tims China, commented, “We are pleased to have set a new record for quarterly revenues while achieving positive adjusted store EBITDA in the first quarter of 2023. Despite the difficult circumstances brought by the high number of COVID-19 infection cases across the country in January, our team’s diligence, continuous innovation and creative marketing contributed to our strong recovery with customer demand returning after the Chinese New Year, as evidenced by 17.1% and 19.4% same-store sales growth for company owned and operated stores in February and March, respectively.”

Mr. Lu continued, “We have also accelerated the development of our franchised stores, especially with our partner Sinopec Easy Joy, the largest convenience store network in China with over 27,800 locations, through the rapid expansion of Tims Express, our most compact store format, and are on track to surpass 1,000 system-wide stores by year-end. We would like to sincerely thank our loyalty club members, numbered at 12.4 million as of March 31, 2023 and ever-growing. Their unwavering support has been a constant source of inspiration, encouraging us to strengthen the reputation of our brand and to deliver high-quality products and services through offering true local relevance, continuous innovation, genuine community, and absolute convenience.”

Mr. Lu added, “During the first quarter of 2023, we continued to execute our differentiated ‘Coffee Plus’ growth strategy by offering creative and customized beverage and food combos and add-ons at compelling values throughout the day. This initiative has been highly successful and has enabled us to further improve our labor efficiency and capital expenditure utilization; the percentage of orders with food increased from 41.0% in the first quarter of 2022 to 44.2% in the first quarter of 2023. On new product launches, ‘Avocado Fresh Coconut Cold Brew Coffee’, ‘Almond Caffè Latte’, ‘Double-Double Latte’, ‘Pork Floss Mochi Croissant’, and “Everything Waffle” were among our top-selling products during the quarter.”

Mr. Dong (Albert) Li, CFO of Tims China, commented, “Our top-line revenues for the first quarter of 2023 increased by 49.8% and our adjusted store EBITDA margin improved by 13.8 percentage points year-over-year. We continue strengthening our digital capabilities in order to capture the growing demand from our delivery and takeaway services. As a result, the number of delivery and takeaway orders in the first quarter of 2023 increased by 74.2% from the same quarter in 2022. Concurrently, with the end of ‘zero-COVID control measures’ by the PRC government authorities in December 2022, we attracted more dine-in customers who enjoyed our welcoming environment. As a result, the number of dine-in customers increased by 125.8% from March 2022 to March 2023.”

Mr. Li continued, “Looking forward, our top near-term financial priorities are to continue to deliver robust revenue growth, to improve profitability at both the store- and corporate-level, and to achieve operating cash flow breakeven. By leveraging Tims China’s brand influence and positive consumer perception with growing customer recognition and loyalty, continuous innovation, ever-expanding store network, and disciplined execution, we expect to further optimize our cost structure, improve operational efficiency, and achieve greater economies of scale.”

RECENT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS

On May 12, 2023, Tims China announced that it had commenced an exchange offer and consent solicitation relating to its outstanding public warrants and private placement warrants. The purpose of the warrant exchange offer and consent solicitation is to simplify the Company’s capital structure and reduce the potential dilutive impact of the warrants, thereby providing the Company with more flexibility for financing its operations in the future.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, namely adjusted store EBITDA, adjusted store EBITDA margin, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted corporate EBITDA, adjusted corporate EBITDA margin, adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss margin, and adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company defines (i) adjusted store EBITDA as fully-burdened gross profit of company owned and operated stores excluding depreciation and amortization, and store pre-opening expenses; (ii) adjusted store EBITDA margin as adjusted store EBITDA as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores; (iii) adjusted general and administrative expenses as general and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, expenses related to the Commitment Shares, the ESA Offering Costs, and expenses related to the Option Shares; (iv) adjusted corporate EBITDA as operating loss excluding store pre-opening expenses, and certain non-cash expenses consisting of depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expenses, expenses related to the Commitment Shares, the ESA Offering Costs, expenses related to the Option Shares, impairment losses of long-lived assets and loss on disposal of property and equipment; (v) adjusted corporate EBITDA margin as adjusted corporate EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues; (vi) adjusted net loss as net loss excluding store pre-opening expenses, share-based compensation expenses, expenses related to the Commitment Shares, the ESA Offering Costs, expenses related to the Option Shares, impairment losses of long-lived assets, loss on disposal of property and equipment, changes in fair value of convertible notes, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities; and changes in fair value of ESA derivative liabilities; (vii) adjusted net loss margin as adjusted net loss as a percentage of total revenues; (viii) adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share as adjusted net loss attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders divided by weighted-average number of basic and diluted ordinary share. The Company believes adjusted store EBITDA, adjusted store EBITDA margin, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted corporate EBITDA, adjusted corporate EBITDA margin, adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss margin, and adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share enhance investors' overall understanding of its financial performance and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
