I need to carefully read the filing to extract accurate figures. Let me note key facts: - Form 10-Q for quarterly period ended September 30, 2026 - Company: Restaurant Brands International Inc. - Exchange: NYSE (and Toronto Stock Exchange), Symbol: QSR - Q3 2026 net income: $704 million (three months ended September 30, 2026) - Nine months ended September 30, 2026 net income: $1,814 million (this IS in the filing - it appears in the income statement) - Total revenues Q3 2026: $2,525 million; nine months 2026: $7,309 million - Shares outstanding as of October 23, 2026: 348,350,731 - Basic EPS Q3 2026: $1.55; diluted EPS: $1.54 - Nine-month basic EPS: $3.99; diluted: $3.95 - Total assets: $25,263 million as of September 30, 2026 The previous QA flagged "Nine-month net income of $1.814 billion" as unsupported, but the filing clearly states "Net income from continuing operations: 1,814" for nine months. The filing also shows "Net income: 1,814" for nine months. I should reference this carefully and accurately. The QA note said to "clarify the nine-month net income figure by referencing the individual quarter figures instead" - I'll reference quarterly figures primarily. For the filing date, the cover page shows "As of October 23, 2026" for share count, and the context says filed 2026-10-29. I should not state a specific filing date unless confirmed in the filing text itself. I'll say "filed with the SEC" without specifying the date.
