The net loss dipped to Rs 45.43 crore in the first quarter of the current financial year (Q1FY26) from Rs 52.18 crore in Q1FY25
Restaurant Brands Asia, the master franchisee of Burger King in India, has narrowed its net loss to Rs 45.43 crore in the first quarter of the current financial year (Q1FY26) from Rs 52.18 crore in Q1FY25. The traffic in its dine-in restaurants grew by over 6 per cent, driven by the introduction of its new Korean range of products, along with the focus on its value offerings.
The financial results of the company revealed that revenue from operations also rose to Rs 697.72 crore in the recently concluded quarter from Rs 646.68 crore in Q1FY25. However, total expenses also marked an uptick and increased to Rs 765.13 crore in Q1FY26 from Rs 712.61 crore in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.
In a regulatory filing, the company emphasised that earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBIDTA) for the quarter was at Rs 74.5 crore, growing by 19.2 per cent. EBIDTA margin was at 13.5 per cent, rising by 0.8 per cent over the same quarter in the preceding year.
“The new Whopper Deluxe Burgers and the BK Fusion range of shakes and sundaes launched earlier this month have also seen a good initial response. We continued to elevate our in-store experience with BK Café and self-ordering kiosks now in 93 per cent of all our restaurants,” highlighted Rajeev Varman, Whole-time Director and Group Chief Executive Officer of RBA.
The store count in India increased to 519 as on 30 June 2025, a growth of six stores when compared with the last quarter. Store additions and same-store-sales-growth (SSSG) of 2.6 per cent in India led to a 12.6 per cent YoY uptick in revenue from operations. However, the revenue in Indonesia declined 7.3 per cent YoY due to store rationalisation and geopolitical headwinds.
