QSR major posts steady expansion in India and overseas markets, even as input costs rise and a brief LPG supply disruption slightly impacts same-store growth
Jubilant FoodWorks, the operator of quick service restaurant brands such as Domino’s, Popeyes and Hong’s Kitchen, posted a strong jump in profitability for the fourth quarter ended 31 March, with consolidated net profit rising 67 per cent year-on-year.
The company reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 82.42 crore in Q4, up from Rs 49.33 crore in the same period last year, according to its regulatory filing.
Revenue from operations also grew to Rs 2,499.46 crore during the quarter, compared with Rs 2,095.02 crore a year ago, reflecting steady demand across its restaurant portfolio. However, total expenses increased to Rs 2,401.46 crore from Rs 2,028.97 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal.
The company noted a temporary supply-related disruption during the month of March.
“During March, select markets experienced temporary LPG supply constraints, which had a limited and localised impact on our operations. Overall, this translated into an estimated 30-40 basis points impact on Q4 FY26 like-for-like growth of Domino’s India,” the company said.
For the full financial year FY26, consolidated net profit more than doubled to Rs 444.24 crore from Rs 217.12 crore in FY25. Revenue from operations rose to Rs 9,512.51 crore versus Rs 8,104.49 crore in the previous year.
In a letter to shareholders, Chairman Shyam S Bhartia and Co-Chairman Hari S Bhartia described FY26 as a year marked by disciplined execution despite a competitive operating environment.
“The full-year consolidated revenue from operations grew 17.4 per cent YoY, driven by broad-based growth across businesses and geographies. The India business delivered 13 per cent growth in revenue from operations in FY26,” they said.
International businesses continued their strong momentum, with robust growth and margin improvement across markets, they added.
“We enter FY27 with confidence and a clear focus on consolidating our market leadership. The opportunity for organised QSR in India remains significant and multi-decadal. Jubilant FoodWorks is uniquely positioned to capitalise on it through its brands, technology, supply chain, and execution capabilities,” they said.
The board has recommended a dividend of Rs 1.2 per equity share of Rs 2 each for FY26, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming annual general meeting.
