Devyani International Limited, the master franchisee for brands like KFC, Pizza Hut, and Costa Coffee, reported a net loss of ₹0.4 crore in Q3 FY25, compared to a profit of ₹9.6 crore in the same quarter last year. The results reflect increased costs despite a strong rise in revenues.
Key Financial Highlights (Q3 FY25 vs Q3 FY24):
- Net Loss: ₹0.4 crore vs net profit of ₹9.6 crore YoY.
- Revenue: ₹1,294.4 crore, up 54% from ₹843 crore YoY.
- EBITDA: ₹213.3 crore, a 46% increase from ₹146 crore YoY.
- EBITDA Margin: 16.5% compared to 17.3% YoY.
The company’s strong revenue performance was attributed to higher footfall and robust expansion across its fast-food and beverage brands. However, the dip in EBITDA margin reflects rising operational costs, including higher employee expenses and raw material costs.
Additionally, the company faced increased depreciation and finance costs, contributing to the bottom-line impact. Tax expenses also rose significantly, weighing further on profitability. Despite the marginal loss, the company remains optimistic about its long-term growth trajectory due to consistent consumer demand.
