Shares of Restaurant Brands Asia Ltd (RBA), the master franchisee of Burger King and Popeyes in India, jumped over 3% on Friday, August 1, after the company posted improved earnings for the June quarter.
The fast-food chain operator reported a consolidated net loss of ₹41.9 crore for the quarter ended June 2025, narrowing from a ₹49.3 crore loss in the same period last year. The improved performance was driven by new product innovations, increased store additions, and higher footfalls across dine-in formats.
Revenue from operations rose 7.9% year-on-year to ₹697.7 crore, up from ₹646.6 crore a year ago. Operational performance also saw a boost, with EBITDA climbing 16.5% to ₹72.9 crore, and the EBITDA margin improving to 10.4% from 9.7% in Q1FY25.
The company attributed the revenue growth to the addition of 63 new stores over the last 12 months, along with a 2.6% increase in same-store sales. Dine-in traffic grew by more than 6%, aided by the launch of its new Korean range and strong uptake of value offerings.
Rajeev Varman, Whole-time Director and Group CEO, commented, “Innovation, along with operational excellence, has helped us navigate a dynamic environment. Our new Korean range of products has been well received, with guests appreciating the use of premium ingredients and authentic flavours.”
He further added that the new Whopper Deluxe Burgers and BK Fusion shakes and sundaes, launched earlier this month, have generated positive traction. Enhancing customer experience remains a priority, with BK Café and self-ordering kiosks now installed in 93% of the company’s restaurants.
