Given the ₹1,200 million impairment of PT Sari Burger Indonesia and the persistent losses from the Popeyes brand in Indonesia, is Restaurant Brands Asia considering divesting or restructuring its Indonesian operations entirely?

With the preferential issue to Lenexis Foodworks still pending Competition Commission of India approval, how might the delayed capital infusion impact the company's store expansion targets and liquidity position in FY27?

Can the strong Q4 FY26 SSSG momentum of 6.3% — the highest in 12 quarters — be sustained through FY27 given potential macroeconomic headwinds and intensifying competition from QSR rivals in India?
