The announcement provides a detailed transcript of the Q4 FY26 earnings call, including financial performance, strategic updates for India and Indonesia, and future outlook. This information is material for investors to assess the company's performance and future prospects, particularly concerning the turnaround efforts and restructuring plans.
The company reported strong SSSG growth in India, a turnaround in Indonesia's Burger King business, and improved financial metrics like revenue and EBITDA. While acknowledging challenges in Popeyes and the need for restructuring in Indonesia, the overall tone and progress reported are positive.
Restaurant Brands Asia Limited (RBA) has released the transcript of its conference call with investors and analysts regarding the audited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2026. The call was held on Friday, May 15, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. IST.
During the call, management highlighted several key achievements and strategies. The company was certified as a Great Place to Work. In India, RBA reported its highest Same-Store Sales Growth (SSSG) in 12 quarters at 6.3% for Q4 FY26, driven by a strategy combining value offerings (like 2for79 and 2for99) with strengthening core and premium menu items, such as the Korean Kimchi offering. Digital orders now constitute 91% of all orders, with a 51% growth in monthly active users for their CRM program. The company is also focusing on P&L efficiencies, including reduced utility costs through solar efforts and new energy-efficient broilers.
In Indonesia, the Burger King business has turned around, achieving positive EBITDA and dine-in SSSG. While delivery profitability was adjusted for better margins, the overall business is moving in the right direction. However, the Popeyes business continues to struggle, with management indicating it may not remain part of RBA's portfolio. The company is onboarding new promoters for its Indonesian operations.
Financially, RBA reported a full-year revenue of ₹2,271 crore and a restaurant EBITDA of 11.6%, more than doubling over the last five years. Company-level EBITDA reached 5.8% in FY26, up from 2.5% in FY23. Gross margins improved by over 2.5% to 3% over the last five years, reaching 70% in Q4 FY26. The company aims to achieve free cash flow neutrality within the next 6 to 8 quarters.
Discussions also touched upon the impairment of IDR120 crore in Indonesia, attributed to a valuation assessment. Management clarified that this is a provision and not necessarily a precursor to a full exit, but the Popeyes business remains a concern. The company is awaiting government approvals for the completion of the acquisition by Inspira Global.
