Restaurant Brands Asia Limited reported an 18% year-over-year increase in consolidated revenue to ₹823 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, driven by robust performance in its Indian operations. The company achieved a record same-store sales growth (SSSG) of 12.6% in India, marking the highest level in 15 quarters. Consolidated company EBITDA surged more than threefold to ₹43.5 crore from ₹12 crore in the prior year period, reflecting improved operational efficiencies and margin expansion across its portfolio.
The results were disclosed during an earnings conference call hosted by Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited on August 3, 2026, with the transcript filed with the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited on August 6, 2026. The filing was made pursuant to Regulation 30 read with Schedule III of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Shweta Mayekar, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, signed the intimation.
India Operations Lead Growth
India remains the core revenue driver, contributing 83% of total business. The company expanded its store count to 590 restaurants, a 71% year-over-year increase. Average daily sales (ADS) reached ₹1,31,000, supported by strong traffic growth rather than significant price increases. Gross margins improved to 70.8%, up 3.1% year-over-year, attributed to optimized product mix and supply chain efficiencies through a cluster-based distribution model. Restaurant-level EBITDA in India stood at ₹90 crore, while company-level EBITDA reached ₹52.7 crore, a 133.6% jump from the previous year.
Indonesia Stabilization Efforts
In Indonesia, the company operates 137 Burger King stores and 25 Popeyes outlets. Burger King Indonesia delivered positive restaurant-level EBITDA of ₹6.4 crore, benefiting from cost optimization measures including reduced corporate overheads by 25% and portfolio rationalization. However, Popeyes continued to incur losses, resulting in a combined negative restaurant-level EBITDA of ₹3.3 crore for the region. Management indicated that a new value strategy for Burger King Indonesia is expected to launch by late September to drive volume growth.

Strategic Outlook and Capital Allocation
Management emphasized a disciplined approach to capital expenditure, focusing on profitability and efficiency gains such as solar farm initiatives and energy-efficient equipment upgrades. While the new promoters have infused capital, the company stated that cash generated will be primarily utilized for organic growth within existing businesses. No immediate plans were announced for co-located stores or consolidation with the promoters’ other ventures, such as Inspira Foods. The company aims to reach a 72% gross margin in India over the next two to three years, currently tracking ahead of schedule at 70.8%. Forward-looking statements regarding strategic options for Popeyes Indonesia are under active review with no definitive timeline provided.
