Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (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 limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last day of December. The Company has through its wholly-owned Company Arcos Dorados Group B.V., a 100% equity interest in Arcos Dorados B.V. (“ADBV”).

On August 3, 2007 the Company, indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiary ADBV, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and Master Franchise Agreements (“MFAs”) with McDonald’s Corporation pursuant to which the Company completed the acquisition of the McDonald’s business in Latin America and the Caribbean (“LatAm business”). Prior to this acquisition, the Company did not carry out operations. The Company’s rights to operate and franchise McDonald’s-branded restaurants in the Territories, and therefore the ability to conduct the business, derive exclusively from the rights granted by McDonald’s Corporation in the MFAs through 2027. The initial term of the MFA for French Guyana, Guadeloupe and Martinique was ten years through August 2, 2017 with an option to extend the agreement for these territories for an additional period of ten years, through August 2, 2027. On July 20, 2016, the Company has exercised its option to extend the MFA for these three territories.

The Company, through ADBV’s wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries, operates and franchises McDonald’s restaurants in the food service industry. The Company has operations in twenty territories as follows: Argentina, Aruba, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Curacao, Ecuador, French Guyana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, the U.S. Virgin Islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas (USVI) and Venezuela. All restaurants are operated either by the Company’s subsidiaries or by independent entrepreneurs under the terms of sub-franchisee agreements (franchisees).

COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, a novel virus known as COVID-19 was declared by the World Health Organization’s (WHO) as a pandemic, resulting in federal, state and local governments mandating various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories, curfews and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus. In order to comply with these government measures, some of our markets closed all restaurants for a period of time, especially from the end of March through the middle of April 2020. During that period, approximately 50% of our entire restaurant footprint was fully closed. These limitations have significantly disrupted the Company’s business operations with a negative impact on the Company’s financial results, including a decline in revenues as well as cash from operations. However, starting in the middle of April 2020, we began steadily re-opening restaurants and were able to resume operating at least one sales channel, such as drive-thru, delivery and/or take away, in nearly 95% of our restaurants by September 30, 2020.

In order to mitigate the impact on Company’s business, results of operations, financial conditions and outlook, the Company has implemented several cash preservation measures including, but not limited to, reducing costs and expenses, limiting capital expenditures and renegotiating terms and conditions with lessors and other suppliers of goods and services. In addition, on July 6, 2020, the Company announced the cancellation of the two remaining cash dividend installments to be paid in August and December, 2020 and approved a stock dividend to be distributed on August, 2020. See note 10 for details.

Furthermore, the Company had drawn short-term debt in most of its Territories, from March to September 2020, in order to maintain liquidity. As of June 30, 2020, short-term debt was $158.2 million. On September 11, 2020 the Company announced the pricing of $150 million aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes. See Note 5 for further information. The proceeds from the aggregate 2027 Notes were used mainly to repay short-term indebtedness. Therefore, as of September 30, 2020, short-term debt was $11 million. These loans mature during October and November and will not be renewed after their maturity. As the cash flow from operations has been stabilized during the second quarter of the year, the Company does not expect significant increases in short-term debt. Additionally, in order to extend the maturity profile of the long-term debt, on September 15, 2020 the Company launched an offer to exchange any and all of the 2023 Notes for newly issued 2027 Notes.

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

1.	Organization and nature of business (continued)

COVID-19 (Continued)

As a result of this exchange, the Company issued 2027 Notes for an aggregate principal amount of $138,354. See Notes 5 and 16 for further information. Also, the Company obtained waivers from all non-compliance ratios. See Note 4 and Note 8 for further information.

The Company believes in its ability to obtain the sources of liquidity and capital resources that are necessary in this challenging economic environment and also believes that its liquidity and capital resources, including working capital, are adequate for its present requirements and business operations and will be adequate to satisfy its currently anticipated requirements during at least the next twelve months for working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate needs.

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. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has elected to report its 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 complete 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, 2019.

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 consolidated financial statements.

Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any future periods.

3.	Summary of significant accounting policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s accounting policies disclosed in the notes to the consolidated annual financial statements as of December 31, 2019.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the 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 the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.	Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

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 (loss) income.

Since January 1, 2010 and July 1, 2018, Venezuela and Argentina, respectively, were considered to be highly inflationary, and as such, the financial statements of these subsidiaries are remeasured as if its functional currency was the reporting currency of the immediate parent company (US dollars for Venezuelan operation; Brazilian reais (“BRL”) for Argentinian operation from July 2018 to June 2020 and US dollars since July 2020 ). As a result, remeasurement gains and losses are recognized in earnings rather than in the cumulative translation adjustment, component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” within shareholders’ equity. See Note 13 for additional information pertaining to the Company’s Venezuelan operations, including currency restrictions and controls existing in the country and a discussion of the exchange rate used for remeasurement purposes.

Impairment and disposal of long-lived assets

In accordance with the guidance within ASC 360-10-35, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of reviewing assets for potential impairment, assets are grouped at a country level for each of the operating markets. The Company manages its restaurants as a group or portfolio with significant common costs and promotional activities; as such, each restaurant’s cash flows are not largely independent of the cash flows of others in a market. If an indicator of impairment exists for any grouping of assets, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by each individual restaurant within the asset grouping is compared to its carrying value. If an individual restaurant is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the restaurant over its fair value considering its highest and best use, as determined by an estimate of discounted future cash flows or its market value.

Although the spread of COVID-19 disrupted Company’s operations in Latin America and the Caribbean, the significance and duration of the disruption was different along the territories. The Company evaluated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on each territory and performed additional tests in Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Aruba, Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago, USVI, Ecuador and Venezuela. As a result of the impairment testing, the Company recorded $3.8 million within Other operating expenses, net on the consolidated statements of (loss) income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020.

While the extent and duration of the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic remains unclear, the Company will be monitoring the situation closely.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", which modifies the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses on financial assets. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020, prospectively. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to actively monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on expected losses.

(ii) Revolving credit facility

The Company entered into revolving credit facilities in order to borrow money from time to time to cover its working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes.

On December 11, 2019, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A (JPMorgan), for up to $25 million maturing on December 11, 2020, with an annual interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.25%. Interest will be payable at maturity and on a quarterly basis, beginning with the date that is three calendar months following the date the loan is made. Principal is due upon maturity.

The obligations of the Company under the revolving credit facility are jointly and severally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries on an unconditional basis. Furthermore, the agreement includes customary covenants including, among others, restrictions on the ability of the Company, the guarantors and certain material subsidiaries to: (i) incur liens, (ii) enter into any merger, consolidation or amalgamation; (iii) sell, assign, lease or transfer all or substantially all of the borrower’s or guarantor’s business or property; (iv) enter into transactions with affiliates; (v) engage in substantially different lines of business; (vi) engage in transactions that violate certain anti-terrorism laws; and (vii) is required to comply with a consolidated net indebtedness (including interest payable) to EBITDA ratio lower than 3.0 as of any last day of the fiscal quarter of the borrower. The revolving credit facility provides for customary events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the lender to terminate its obligation to provide loans under the revolving credit facility and/or to declare all sums outstanding under the loan documents immediately due and payable.

No amounts are due at the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements in connection with this revolving credit facility.

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s net indebtedness (including interest payable) to EBITDA ratio was 4.84 and exceeded the covenant. However, on July 13, 2020 the Company received a waiver for this revolving credit facility to change the aforementioned ratio requirement from 3.0 to 4.25 as of June 30, 2020, and 8.15 as of September 30, 2020. Additionally, the Company agreed to maintain unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and/or marketable securities in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $50 million during the period waived.

On August 2019, the Company renewed a committed revolving credit facility between ADBV and Bank of America, N.A. (BOFA), as lender, for up to $25 million with an annual interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.40% that matured on August 2, 2020 and was not renewed.

On September 27, 2013, the Company issued senior notes for an aggregate principal amount of $473.8 million, which are due in 2023 (the "2023 Notes"). Periodic payments of principal are not required and interest is paid semi-annually commencing on March 27, 2014. The Company incurred $3,313 of financing costs related to the cash issuance of 2023 Notes, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs ("DFC") and are being amortized over the life of the notes.

On June 1, 2016, the Company launched a cash tender offer to purchase $80,000 of its outstanding 2023 Notes, at a redemption price equal to 98%, which expired on June 28, 2016. The holders who tendered their 2023 Notes prior to June 14, received a redemption price equal to 101%. As a consequence of this transaction, the Company redeemed 16.90% of the outstanding principal. The total payment was $80,800 (including $800 of early tender payment) plus accrued and unpaid interest.

2027 and 2023 Notes (Continued)

The results related to the cash tender offer and the accelerated amortization of the related DFC were recognized as interest expense within the consolidated statement of income.

Furthermore, on March 16, 2017, the Company launched a second cash tender offer to purchase $80,000 of its outstanding 2023 Notes, at a redemption price equal to 104%, which expired on April 12, 2017. The holders who tendered their 2023 Notes prior to March 29, 2017, received a redemption price equal to 107%. As a consequence of this transaction, the Company redeemed 11.6% of the outstanding principal. The total payment was $48,885 (including $3,187 of early tender payment) plus accrued and unpaid interest. The results related to the second cash tender offer and the accelerated amortization of the related DFC were recognized as interest expense within the consolidated statement of income.

On September 15, 2020 the Company launched an offer to exchange any and all of 2023 Notes for an additional issuance of 2027 Notes that expired on October 13, 2020 (the “expiration date”). The purpose of the exchange offer was to extend the maturity profile of the Company’s long-term debt. The settlement date was on October 15, 2020. Eligible holders who validly tendered their 2023 Notes for exchange prior to September 28, 2020 (the “early participation date”), received $1,055 (expressed as whole number) of 2027 Notes per $1,000 (expressed as whole number) of 2023 Notes at the settlement date. Eligible holders who validly tendered their 2023 Notes for exchange after the early participation date, but on or prior to the expiration date received $1,005 (expressed as whole number) of 2027 Notes per $1,000 (expressed as whole number) of 2023 Notes at the settlement date. In addition, any fractional portion of the 2027 Notes less than $1,000 (expressed as whole number) and accrued and unpaid interest were paid in cash.

As of September 28, 2020, the Company accepted to exchange $126,801 of 2023 Notes, representing 36.43% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2023 Notes. At the settlement date, the Company issued $133,668 of 2027 Notes, paid $107.1 for fractional portion and $180.1 for accrued and unpaid interest. See Note 16 for details of the additional exchange of 2023 Notes occurred after the early participation date and before the exchange expiration date.

On April 2017, the Company issued senior notes for an aggregate principal amount of $265 million, which are due in 2027 (the “2027 Notes”). The proceeds from this issuance of the 2027 Notes were used to repay the Secured Loan Agreement, unwind the related derivative instruments, pay the principal and premium on the 2023 Notes (in connection with the aforementioned second tender offer) and for general purposes. In addition, on September 11, 2020, the Company issued additional 2027 Notes for an aggregate principal amount of $150 million at a price of 102.250%. The proceeds from the second issuance were used mainly to repay short-term indebtedness. Periodic payments of principal are not required, and interest is paid semi-annually commencing on October 4, 2017. The Company incurred $3,001 of financing costs related to the first issuance of 2027 Notes and $2,000 related to the second issuance, which were capitalized as DFC and are being amortized over the life of the notes.

The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any time at the applicable redemption price set forth in the indenture governing them. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Notes and guarantees (i) are senior unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s and guarantors’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness; (ii) will be effectively junior to all of the Company’s and guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the Company’s assets securing that indebtedness; and (iii) are structurally subordinated to all obligations of the Company’s subsidiaries that are not guarantors.

The indenture governing the Notes limits the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, (i) create certain liens; (ii) enter into sale and lease-back transactions; and (iii) consolidate, merge or transfer assets. In addition, the indenture governing the 2027 Notes, limits the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to: incur in additional indebtedness and make certain restricted payments, including dividends. These covenants are subject to important qualifications and exceptions. The indenture governing the Notes also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments

Cash flow hedge

Forward contracts

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 September 30, 2020, the Company had forward contracts outstanding with a notional amount of $11,520 that mature during 2020 and 2021. Although the spread of COVID-19 has disrupted operations in several of its territories, the Company does not expect changes in the designation of cash flow hedge accounting of these forward contracts.

The Company made net collections totaling $2,137 and $236 during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as a result of the net settlements of these derivatives.

Cross-Currency interest rate swap

The Company entered into three cross-currency interest rate swap agreements to hedge all the variability in a portion (73%) of the principal and interest collections of its BRL intercompany loan receivables with ADBV. The agreements were signed during November 2013 (amended in February 2017), June and July 2017. The following table presents information related to the terms of the agreements:

Call spread

During April 2017, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary entered into two call spread agreements in order to hedge the all variability in a portion (50%) of the principal of certain intercompany loan payables nominated in US dollar. Call spread agreements consist of a combination of two call options: the Company bought an option to buy US dollar at a strike price equal to the BRL exchange rate at the date of the agreements, and wrote an option to buy US dollar at a higher strike price than the previous one. Both pair of options have the same notional amount and are based on the same underlying with the same maturity date.

All values are in US Dollars.

Coupon-only swap

2011 Equity Incentive Plan

In March 2011, the Company adopted its Equity Incentive Plan, or 2011 Plan, to attract and retain the most highly qualified and capable professionals and to promote the success of its business. This Plan is being used to reward certain employees for the success of the Company’s business through an annual award program. The 2011 Plan permits grants of awards relating to class A shares, including awards in the form of shares (also referred to as stock), options, restricted shares, restricted share units, share appreciation rights, performance awards and other share-based awards as will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2011 Plan is 2.5% of the Company’s total outstanding class A and class B shares immediately following its initial public offering 2011.

The Company made a special grant of stock options and restricted share units in 2011 in connection with its initial public offering, which are totally vested. The Company also made recurring grants of stock options and restricted share units in each of the fiscal years from 2011 to 2019 (from 2015 to 2019 only restricted share units). From 2011 to 2018, both types of these recurring annual awards vest as follows: 40% on the second anniversary of the date of grant and 20% on each of the following three anniversaries. The 2019 award vested on May 10, 2020. However, in the event of death, disability or retirement of the employee, any unvested portion of the annual award will be fully vested. For all grants, each stock option granted represents the right to acquire a Class A share at its grant-date fair market value, while each restricted share unit represents the right to receive a Class A share when vested. The exercise right for the stock options is cumulative and, once such right becomes exercisable, it may be exercised in whole or in part during quarterly window periods until the date of termination, which occurs at the seventh anniversary of the date of grant. The Company utilizes a Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the value of stock options at the grant date. The value of restricted shares units is based on the quoted market price of the Company’s class A shares at the grant date.

On June 28, 2016, 1,117,380 stock options were converted to a liability award maintaining the original conditions of the 2011 Plan. There were not incremental compensation costs resulting from the modification. The employees affected by this modification were 104. The accrued liability is remeasured on a monthly basis until settlement. This liability award plan expired in May 2020.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to this award in the amount of $1,359 and $1,296 during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is included within “General and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of (loss) income.

Phantom RSU Award

In May 2019, the Company implemented a new long-term incentive plan (called Phantom RSU Award) to reward employees giving them the opportunity to share the success of the Company in the creation of value for its shareholders. In accordance with this plan, the Company granted units (called “Phantom RSU”) to certain employees, pursuant to which they are entitled to receive, when vested, a cash payment equal to the closing price of one Class A share on the respective day in which this benefit is due and the corresponding dividends per-share (if any) formally declared and paid during the service period. The award has two types of grant. Phantom RSU type one has 465,202 units which vest over a requisite service period of five years as follows: 40% at the second anniversary of the date of grant and 20% at each of the following three years. Phantom RSU type two has 1,207,455 units which vest 100% at the fifth anniversary from the date of grant. However, in the event of death, disability or retirement of the employee, any unvested portion of the annual award will be fully vested. The Company recognizes compensation expense related to these benefits on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards. The grant-date stock price of both types of grants was $6.78.

The total compensation (benefit) expense as of September 30, 2020 and 2019 amounts to $199 and $1,063, respectively, which has been recorded under “General and administrative expenses” within the consolidated statement of (loss) income. The accrued liability is remeasured at the end of each reporting period until settlement.

Commitments

The MFAs require the Company and its MF subsidiaries, among other obligations:

(i)	to agree with McDonald’s on a restaurant opening plan and a reinvestment plan for each three-year<br>period and pay an initial franchise fee for each new restaurant opened;
(ii)	to pay monthly royalties commencing at a rate of approximately 5% of gross sales of the restaurants,<br>during the first 10 years, substantially consistent with market. This percentage increases to 6% and 7% for the subsequent two<br>5-year periods of the agreement. Nevertheless, on occasions McDonald’s provides the Company with support in order to encourage<br>the Company´s growth plan;
---	---
(iii)	to commit to funding a specified Strategic Marketing Plan; that includes the expenditure of 5%<br>of the Company gross sales on Advertising and Promotion activities.
---	---
(iv)	to own (or lease) directly or indirectly, the fee simple interest in all real property on which<br>any franchised restaurant is located; and
---	---
(v)	to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined therein) at least equal to 1.50 as<br>well as a maximum leverage ratio (as defined therein) of 4.25.
---	---

As a consequence of the negative impacts of the spread of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations, McDonald’s granted the Company a deferral of all the royalty payments due related to sales in March, April, May and June 2020 until the first half of 2021; a reduction in the adverting and promotion spending requirements from 5% to 4% for the annual period 2020 and agreed to the withdrawal of the previously-agreed restaurant opening and reinvestment plan.

For the six and nine-month period ended June 2020 and September 2020, the Company was not in compliance with the ratio requirements mentioned in point (v) above. The ratios for the period mentioned, were as follows:

	September 30, 2020 (Unaudited)		June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio		1.15		1.35
Leverage Ratio		6.31		5.37

McDonald’s Corporation granted the Company limited waivers from June 30 through and including December 31, 2021, during which time the Company is not required to comply with the financial ratios set forth in the MFA. After December 31, 2021, if the Company remains non-compliant with the financial requirements and is unable to obtain an extension of the waiver or to comply with the original commitments under the MFA, it could be in material breach. A breach of the MFA would give McDonald’s Corporation certain rights, including the ability to acquire all or portions of the business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not expect any material adverse effect to its business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows as a result of this situation.

Commitments (continued)

In addition, ADBV maintains standby letters of credit with an aggregate drawing amount of $80 million in favor of McDonald’s Corporation as collateral for the obligations assumed under the MFAs. The letters of credit were issued by Credit Suisse amounting to $45 million, Itaú Unibanco S.A. (Itaú) amounting to $15 million and JPMorgan amounting to $20 million. They can be drawn if certain events occur, including the failure to pay royalties. No amounts have been drawn at the date of issuance of these financial statements. The letters of credit contain a limited number of customary affirmative and negative covenants, including a maximum indebtedness to EBITDA ratio of 4.0 for Credit Suisse and Itaú letters and 4.5 for JPMorgan letter. Although for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, ADBV was in compliance with these ratios, ADBV received waivers from each of its lenders under these letters of credit if any event of default occurs for compliance with the applicable ratios in the future. If ADBV is unable to comply with the conditions of the waivers or to obtain further waivers for future non-compliance with any terms of the letters of credit and its lenders terminate the letters of credit, we would be in breach of our obligations under the MFAs, if ADBV cannot replace the instrument or use cash as collateral.

Provision for contingencies

The Company has certain contingent liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings, including those involving labor, tax and other matters. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company maintains a provision for contingencies, net of judicial deposits, amounting to $24,626 and $26,158, respectively, presented as follow: $1,956 and $2,035 as a current liability and $22,670 and $24,123 as a non-current liability, respectively. The breakdown of the provision for contingencies is as follows:

	As of
	September 30, 2020			As of
	(Unaudited)			December 31, 2019
Tax contingencies in Brazil	$	8,864		$	10,595
Labor contingencies in Brazil		14,524			16,839
Others		9,923			11,404
Subtotal		33,311			38,838
Judicial deposits		(8,685	)		(12,680	)
Provision for contingencies	$	24,626	****	$	26,158	****

As of September 30, 2020, there are certain matters related to the interpretation of tax, labor and civil laws for which there is a possibility that a loss may have been incurred in accordance with ASC 450-20-50-4 within a range of $173 million and $192 million.

As of September 30, 2020, there are certain matters related to the interpretation of income tax laws for which could be challenged by tax authorities in an amount of $134 million, related to assessments for the fiscal years 2009 to 2014. No formal claim has been made for fiscal years within the statute of limitation by Tax authorities in any of the mentioned matters, however those years are still subject to audit and claims may be asserted in the future.

Additionally, there is a lawsuit filed by several Puerto Rican franchisees against McDonald’s Corporation and certain subsidiaries purchased by the Company during the acquisition of the LatAm business (“the Puerto Rican franchisees lawsuit”). The claim seeks declaratory judgment and damages in the aggregate amount of $66.7 million plus plaintiffs’ attorney fees. At the end of 2014 the plaintiffs finalized their presentation of evidence whereas the Company has not started yet. At that time, the Company filed a Motion of Non Suit. As of today, the Company has not been notified of any resolution made by the Commissioner assigned to this case. Although the Company believes that the probability of loss was remote, on December 28, 2019 and March 31, 2020, the Company reached confidential settlement agreements with Puerto Rican franchisees finalizing all controversies and disputes among the parties. All corresponding judicial documentation was filed to end the proceedings and the case was successfully dismissed by the Court, finalizing all controversies and disputes among the parties.

Furthermore, the Puerto Rico Owner Operator’s Association (“PROA”), an association integrated by the Company’s franchisees that meets periodically to coordinate the development of promotional and marketing campaigns (an association that at the time of the claim was formed solely by franchisees that are plaintiffs in the Puerto Rican franchisees lawsuit), filed a third party complaint and counterclaim (“the PROA claim”) against the Company and other third party defendants, in the amount of $31 million. On June 9, 2014, after several motions for summary judgment duly filed and opposed by the parties, the First Instance Court entered a “Partial Summary Judgment and Resolution” in favor of PROA, before initiating the discovery phase, finding that the Company must participate and contribute funds to the association. However, the Court did not specify any amount for which the Company should be held liable, due to its preliminary and interlocutory nature, and the lack of discovery conducted regarding the amounts claimed by the plaintiffs. By means of a Motion to Reconsider, the Company opposed such determination. In December 2018, the First Instance Court confirmed his determination and the Company filed a Certiorari in the Court of Appeals.

Although our assessment of the probability of loss was remote, on December 28, 2019 and March 31, 2020 the Company reached confidential settlement agreements with Puerto Rican franchisees, sole members of PROA, finalizing all controversies and disputes among the parties. All corresponding judicial documentation was filed to end this proceeding and the case was successfully dismissed by the Court.

Pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, McDonald’s Corporation indemnifies the Company for certain Brazilian claims. At September 30, 2020, the provision for contingencies includes $1,164 ($1,612 at December 31, 2019), related to these claims. As a result, the Company has recorded a non-current asset in respect of McDonald’s Corporation’s indemnity in the consolidated balance sheet.

9.	Segment and geographic information

The Company is required to report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and interim financial reports issued to shareholders in accordance with ASC 280. Operating segments are components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker(s) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. ASC 280 also requires disclosures about the Company’s products and services, geographical areas and major customers.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company through its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries operates and franchises McDonald’s restaurants in the food service industry. The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting. The Company manages its business as distinct geographic segments and its operations are divided into four geographical divisions, which are as follows: Brazil; the Caribbean division, consisting of Aruba, Curacao, Colombia, French Guyana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, the U.S. Virgin Islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas and Venezuela; the North Latin America division (“NOLAD”), consisting of Costa Rica, Mexico and Panama; and the South Latin America division (“SLAD”), consisting of Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Peru and Uruguay. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

11.	(Loss) earnings per share

The Company is required to present basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260. Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period after consideration of the dilutive effect, if any, for common stock equivalents, including stock options and restricted share units. Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive securities outstanding during the period under the treasury method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share attributable to Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc. for all periods presented:

13.	Venezuelan operations

The Company conducts business in Venezuela where currency restrictions exist, limiting the Company’s ability to immediately access cash through repatriations at the government’s official exchange rate. The Company’s access to Venezuelan Bolívares (VEF or VES), held by its Venezuelan subsidiaries remains available for use within this jurisdiction and is not restricted. The official exchange rate is established by the Central Bank of Venezuela.

Since February 2013, the Venezuelan government has announced several changes in the currency exchange regulations. The last modification was in February 2018, when the Venezuelan government announced the unification of the formerly exchange rate systems into a sole foreign exchange mechanism called DICOM.

Revenues and operating (loss) of the Venezuelan operations were $2,815 and ($5,804), respectively, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020; and $8,145 and ($4,368), respectively, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company did not have a material monetary position, which would be subject to remeasurement in the event of further changes in the exchange rate. In addition, Venezuela’s non-monetary assets were $11.1 million (mainly fixed assets).

13.	Venezuelan operations (continued)

In addition to exchange controls, the Venezuelan market is subject to price controls. The Venezuelan government issued a regulation establishing a maximum profit margin for companies and maximum prices for certain goods and services. Although these regulations caused a delay in the pricing plan, the Company was able to increase prices during nine-month period ended September 30, 2020.

The Company’s Venezuelan operations, and the Company’s ability to repatriate its earnings, continue to be negatively affected by these difficult conditions and would be further negatively affected by additional devaluations or the imposition of additional or more stringent controls on foreign currency exchange, pricing, payments, profits or imports or other governmental actions or continued or increased labor unrest. The Company continues to closely monitor developments in this dynamic environment, to assess evolving business risks and actively manage its operations in Venezuela.

14.	Leases

The Company leases locations through ground leases (the Company leases the land and owns the building) and through improved leases (the Company leases land and buildings). The operating leases are mainly related to restaurant and dessert center locations. The average of lease’s terms is about 15 years and, in many cases, include renewal options provided by the agreement or government’s regulations, as there are reasonably certain to be exercised. Typically, renewal options are considered reasonably assured of being exercised if the associated asset lives of the building or leasehold improvements exceed the initial lease term, and the sales performance of the restaurant remains strong. Therefore, its associated payments are included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Although, certain leases contain purchase options, is not reasonably certain that the Company will exercise them. In addition, many agreements include escalations amounts that vary by reporting unit, for example, including fixed-rent escalations, escalations based on an inflation index, and fair value adjustments. According to rental terms, the Company pays monthly rent based on the greater of a fixed rent or a certain percentage of the Company’s gross sales. The lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Furthermore, the Company is the lessee under non-cancelable leases covering certain offices and warehouses.

The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments, which include options that are reasonably assured of being exercised. As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases was not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments. The Company has elected not to separate non-lease components from lease components in its lessee portfolio. For most locations, the Company is obliged for the related occupancy costs, such as maintenance.

In addition, in March 2010, the Company entered into an aircraft operating lease agreement for a term of 8 years, which provides for quarterly payments of $690. On December 22, 2017, the Company signed an amendment, extending the term of the aircraft operating lease for an additional 10 years, with quarterly payments (retroactively effective as of December 5, 2017) of $442.

In order to mitigate the negative impact of COVID-19 on its financial results, the Company has been renegotiating terms and conditions with several lessors. The Company decided not to evaluate whether the potential concessions provided by the lessors are lease modifications under ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) according to the interpretive guidance issued by the FASB staff in April 2020.

15.	Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments

As defined in ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The transaction is based on a hypothetical transaction in the principal or most advantageous market considered from the perspective of the market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. The valuation techniques that can be used under this guidance are the market approach, income approach or cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other information for market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities, such as matrix pricing. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single discounted present amount based on current market conditions about those future amounts, such as present value techniques, option pricing models (e.g. Black-Scholes model) and binomial models (e.g. Monte-Carlo model). The cost approach is based on current replacement cost to replace an asset.

The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants who are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. The Company attempts to utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company is able to classify fair value balances based on the observance of those inputs. The guidance establishes a formal fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to level 1 measurements and the lowest priority to level 3 measurements, and accordingly, level 1 measurement should be used whenever possible.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy as defined by the guidance are as follows:

Level 1: Valuations utilizing quoted, unadjusted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access. This is the most reliable evidence of fair value and does not require a significant degree of judgment. Examples include exchange-traded derivatives and listed equities that are actively traded.

Level 2: 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.

Financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies are included. Models used should primarily be industry-standard models that consider various assumptions and economic measures, such as interest rates, yield curves, time value, volatilities, contract terms, current market prices, credit risk or other market-corroborated inputs. Examples include most over-the-counter derivatives (non-exchange traded), physical commodities, most structured notes and municipal and corporate bonds.

Level 3: 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. Examples include certain corporate loans, real-estate and private equity investments and long-dated or complex over-the-counter derivatives.

Depending on the particular asset or liability, input availability can vary depending on factors such as product type, longevity of a product in the market and other particular transaction conditions. In some cases, certain inputs used to measure fair value may be categorized into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. For disclosure purposes under this guidance, the lowest level that contains significant inputs used in valuation should be chosen. Pursuant to ASC 820-10-50, the Company has classified its assets and liabilities into these levels depending upon the data relied on to determine the fair values. The fair values of the Company’s derivatives are valued based upon quotes obtained from counterparties to the agreements and are designated as Level 2.

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

The derivative contracts were valued using various pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses that incorporate observable market parameters, such as interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and currency rates that were observable for substantially the full term of the derivative contracts.

Certain financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value

At September 30, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s short-term and long-term debt was estimated at $792,142, compared to a carrying amount of $797,583. 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 September 30, 2020, no material fair value adjustments or fair value measurements were required for non-financial assets or liabilities.
