- Adj. EBITDA
- ₹ 624 Mn, up 39% YoY; EBITDA ₹ 1286 Mn
- Restaurant Count / SSSG
- 1,086 restaurants with 12 net additions; KFC India SSSG 14%
This release sets out the company's business performance for the quarter and half year ended 30th September, covering both the KFC and Pizza Hut brands in India and the Sri Lanka business.
Topline
- Revenue for the quarter was ₹8853 Mn, up 20% year on year.
- The company describes this as its best revenue growth in the last 16 quarters.
- The restaurant network stood at 1,086 outlets at the end of the quarter, with net restaurant additions of 12 during the period.
Profitability
- Adjusted EBITDA was ₹ 624 Mn, up 39% year on year, which the company also calls its best adjusted EBITDA growth in 16 quarters.
- EBITDA was ₹ 1286 Mn.
- Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted PBT are stated before Ind-AS 116 adjustments, so they are not the same as the reported figures.
Brand performance
- Sapphire KFC India reported same-store sales growth (SSSG) of 14%. The company notes this is close to double digit and reflects the timing shift of Navratri to Q3, compared with Q2 last year.
- KFC growth is attributed to value-led consumer offers, including an everyday value chicken burger meal and buy-one-get-one offers on chicken buckets, supported by marketing spend.
- Sapphire Pizza Hut India grew revenue with its highest SSSG in the last seven quarters, helped by value offers such as a multi-course meal and a buy-one-get-one promotion. Restaurant EBITDA for the brand was negative in the quarter, which the company links to higher energy costs.
- The Sri Lanka business reported revenue growth in local currency, with restaurant EBITDA margin described as sequentially steady despite high inflation in wages and energy.
What retail investors can take away
- The quarter shows double-digit sales growth alongside faster growth in adjusted operating profit, meaning profit is rising quicker than sales on that measure.
- Growth is being driven by adding restaurants as well as by higher sales at existing restaurants; both levers are visible in this release.
- Cost pressure, particularly energy, is called out as a drag on the Pizza Hut India restaurant margin.
- All figures in this release are for the quarter and half year ended 30th September and are the company's own reported numbers.
