Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (Unaudited)

Amounts in thousands of US dollars, except for share data and as otherwise indicated

1.    Organization and nature of business

Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) is a company limited by shares incorporated and existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last day of December. The Company indirectly owns 100% of the equity interests in Arcos Dorados B.V. (“ADBV”).

On August 3, 2007 ADBV entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and Master Franchise Agreements (the “Initial MFAs”) with McDonald’s Corporation pursuant to which ADBV acquired the McDonald’s business in Latin America and the Caribbean (“LatAm business”). Prior to this acquisition, the Company did not carry out operations.

Effective January 1, 2025, the Company entered into two new Master Franchise Agreements (the “MFAs”) with McDonald’s Corporation that replaced the Initial MFAs. The term of the MFAs is 20 years for all of the Territories other than French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique and Saint Martin (French part), which are subject to a term of 10 years with an option to extend such terms for an additional 10 years. The Company’s rights to operate and franchise McDonald’s-branded restaurants in the Territories, and therefore its ability to conduct its business, derive exclusively from the rights granted by McDonald’s Corporation in the MFAs.

The Company has operations in twenty-one territories as follows: Argentina, Aruba, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Curaçao, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, the U.S. Virgin Islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas (USVI), Venezuela and, since July 2025, Saint Martin (French part) and Sint Maarten (Dutch part), together “St. Martin”. All restaurants are operated either by the Company’s subsidiaries or by independent entrepreneurs under the terms of sub-franchise agreements (franchisees).

2.    Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company has elected to report its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in United States dollars (“$” or “US dollars”).

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for a complete set of financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted for purposes of this presentation. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2025.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are considered necessary for the fair presentation of the information in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any future periods.

3.    Summary of significant accounting policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Amounts in thousands of US dollars, except for share data and as otherwise indicated

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign currency matters

The financial statements of the Company’s foreign operating subsidiaries are translated in accordance with guidance in ASC 830 Foreign Currency Matters. Except for the Company’s Venezuelan and Argentinian operations, the functional currencies of the Company’s foreign operating subsidiaries are the local currencies of the countries in which they conduct their operations. Therefore, assets and liabilities are translated into US dollars at the balance sheet date exchange rates, and revenues, expenses and cash flow are translated at average rates prevailing during the periods. Translation adjustments are included in the “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” component of shareholders’ equity. The Company includes foreign currency exchange results related to monetary assets and liabilities transactions, including intercompany transactions, denominated in currencies other than its functional currencies in its statements of income.

Since January 1, 2010 and July 1, 2018, Venezuela and Argentina, respectively, have been considered to be highly inflationary, and as such, the financial statements of these subsidiaries are remeasured as if their functional currency was the reporting currency of the immediate parent company (US dollars). As a result, remeasurement gains and losses are recognized in earnings rather than in the cumulative translation adjustment.

In addition, in these territories, there are foreign currency restrictions. In Argentina, the Central Bank imposes certain restrictions on access to the foreign exchange market (Mercado Libre de Cambios, or “MLC”). As of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements: (i) imports of goods may be settled with access to the MLC upon nationalization of such goods, (ii) payments for imports of services may be settled with access to the MLC once the related services have been rendered, (iii) access to the MLC for payments of principal or interest under intercompany foreign financial indebtedness is subject to applicable regulatory requirements and, in certain cases, prior approval from the Central Bank of Argentina, and (iv) access to the MLC for dividend distributions to foreign shareholders of Argentine companies is limited to profits generated in fiscal years commencing in 2025, while the distribution of retained earnings generated in prior periods remains restricted; however, certain financial instruments are available in the market to facilitate the payment of such past-due dividends.

Venezuela’s currency restrictions have been in place for several years under different foreign exchange regulations. Although in 2019, the Central Bank of Venezuela loosened those restrictions by permitting financial institution to participate as intermediaries in foreign currency operations, the Company’s ability to immediately access cash through repatriations continues to be limited. Additionally, the Venezuelan market is subject to price controls. Its government issued a regulation establishing a maximum profit margin for companies and maximum prices for certain goods and services. However, the Company was able to increase prices during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.

As of March 31, 2026, Argentina’s and Venezuela’s net nonmonetary asset positions, comprised primarily of fixed assets, were $193.1 million and $23.2 million, respectively.

Accounts payable outsourcing

In the ordinary course of business, the Company looks to obtain extended payment terms during the negotiation process with suppliers, which payment terms can vary from 15 days to up to 180 days after the invoice date. In this context, the Company offers its suppliers access to an accounts payable services arrangement provided by third party financial institutions. Independent from the Company, the financial institutions offer suppliers to voluntarily sell their receivables to them in an arrangement separately negotiated by the supplier and the financial institution. This service also allows the Company’s suppliers to view its scheduled payments online, enabling them to better manage their cash flow and reduce payment processing costs. The Company’s responsibility is limited to making payment on the original due dates of the invoice negotiated with the supplier, regardless of whether the supplier sells its receivable. The Company is not permitted to remit payment to the financial institution or the supplier on a date later than the original due date of the invoice under any circumstances. The payment terms and purchase price of the original invoice do not change once the supplier elects to participate. Those payment terms vary from 45 days to up to 180 days after the invoice date. The Company has no economic interest in the sale of these receivables and no direct relationship with the financial institutions concerning the sale of receivables. As a result, the Company does not pay any fee to the financial institutions for purchasing the suppliers' receivables and it does not receive any fee, commission, refund or discount from the financial institutions for the accounts payable services arrangement. The Company retains the right to all early pay discounts offered by suppliers if they do not sell their receivables.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the amounts under the accounts payable services arrangement and included in Accounts Payable in the Balance Sheet are $45,290 and $14,226, respectively.

Severance

During 2025, the Company approved and executed plans to restructure and further improve efficiencies in its operations (Reorganization and Optimization Plan). Restructuring costs are related to one-time termination benefits. As of March 31, 2026, $1,656 ($85 in Brazil, $495 in NOLAD, $790 in SLAD, and $286 in Corporate) was recorded within General and Administrative Expenses item in the consolidated income statement.

The total accumulated restructuring costs incurred for the Reorganization and Optimization Plan was $10,377. The Company is not expecting to incur any additional amount in connection with the Reorganization and Optimization Plan.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Income Statement Expenses - Disaggregation

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”. The pronouncement expands the disclosure requirements for expenses, specifically by providing more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Credit Losses

In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2025-05, Credit Losses (Topic 326): “Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets”. The pronouncement provides a practical expedient that all entities can use when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. It also applies when assets are acquired in transactions accounted for under ASC 805, Business Combinations. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after 15 December 2025 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The adoption of the ASU 2025-05 did not have a material impact on these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Internal-use Software

In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2025-06, which clarifies and modernizes the accounting for costs related to internal-use software in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350-40, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software”. The pronouncement removes all references to project stages throughout ASC 350-40 and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities may apply the guidance using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact that ASU 2025-06 will have on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interim Reporting

In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2025-11, which clarifies the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ASC 270, “Interim Reporting”, and creates a comprehensive list of interim disclosures in ASC 270 that are required in interim financial statements and the accompanying notes under US GAAP. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim periods beginning after 15 December 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact that ASU 2025-11 will have on the Company’s interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

5.    Derivative instruments

The Company’s derivatives that are designated for hedge accounting consist of forward contracts and cross currency swaps consisting of cross-currency interest rate swap, principal only swaps, call spreads, interest coupon only swaps and sustainability linked ESG principal only swap. All these derivatives are classified as cash flow hedges. Further details are in the “Derivatives designated as hedging instruments” section.

Additionally, the Company enters into certain derivatives that are not designated for hedge accounting. The Company has entered into call spread and cross currency swaps to mitigate the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency denominated liabilities. Further details are in the “Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments” section.

The following table presents the fair values of derivative instruments included in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments

Cash flow hedges

The Company has entered into various forward contracts in a few territories to hedge a portion of the foreign exchange risk associated with forecasted imports of goods. The effect of the hedges results in fixing the cost of goods acquired (i.e. the net settlement or collection adjusts the cost of inventory paid to the suppliers). As of March 31, 2026, the Company estimated that the entire amount of net derivative gains or losses related to its cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

Moreover, the Company has entered into certain instruments designated as cash flow hedges to reduce the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows related to intercompany loans (principal and interest). As of March 31, 2026, the Company estimated that the entire amount of net derivative gains or losses related to its cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into earnings within the next 4 years.

12.    Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments

Assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on recurring basis

The Company's assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on recurring basis were valued using:

Level 1 inputs: Valuations utilizing quoted, unadjusted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 inputs: Valuations utilizing quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 inputs: Valuations utilizing significant unobservable inputs provides the least objective evidence of fair value and requires a significant degree of judgment. Inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies and should reflect an entity’s assumptions using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company had not changed the methodology, nor the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments.

There were no transfers to and from Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, nor during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Certain financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value

As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of the Company’s short term and long-term debt was estimated at $996,753, compared to a carrying amount of $1,024,982. This fair value was estimated using various pricing models or discounted cash flow analysis that incorporated quoted market prices and is similar to Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. The carrying amount for notes receivable approximates fair value.

Non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment). As of March 31, 2026, no material fair value adjustments or fair value measurements were required for non-financial assets or liabilities.

13.    Subsequent Events

Long-term debt

During April and May, 2026, the Company repurchased and cancelled $6,891 of its outstanding 2029 notes for a total amount of $7,071 plus accrued and unpaid interests.
