MUMBAI – Jubilant FoodWorks Ltd. Wednesday reported an on-year fall in its bottom line for the March quarter and a moderate growth in the top line. Both the metrics were below the Street's expectations, with the top line missing it by a wide margin. This was the first fall in the company's bottom line in five quarters while the top line growth was the slowest in two years.
Jubilant FoodWorks reported a net profit of INR 425.79 million for the March quarter, down around 14% on year. Analysts had expected the company to post a net profit of INR 467.50 million. Its revenue grew over 6% on year to INR 16.80 billion, and was below the expectation of INR 18.13 billion. Sequentially, the company's bottom line fell over 21% and revenue was down over 6%.
The company's total expenses were up over 7% on year at INR 16.17 billion in the March quarter, led by a rise in depreciation and amortisation, other expenses, and employee benefit expenses. Jubilant's depreciation and amortisation expenses grew around 20% on year to INR 2.08 billion and other expenses rose over 5% to INR 6.31 billion. Its employee benefit expenses were up around 9% at INR 2.93 billion, while raw material costs rose a mere 2% on year to INR 3.86 billion for the March quarter.
The company's operating earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation rose 11.5% on year to INR 3.44 billion for the quarter. Its operating EBITDA margin improved by 94 basis points to 20.5%. Its adjusted EBITDA margin shrunk by 10 bps on year during the quarter due to "inflation in wage cost and energy cost," the company said. Jubilant FoodWorks' revenue from Domino's India rose 5% during the quarter. The like-for-like revenue growth was 0.2% on year. The company reported strong order growth of over 10% on-year in Domino's. It added 59 Domino's stores across the country during the quarter and 5 Popeyes stores.
The company added four stores of Coffy and Domino's each in Turkey during the quarter and closed three outlets of Hong's Kitchen in India, taking its total store count including--Domino's, Popeyes, Hong's Kitchen, and Coffy--worldwide to 3,636 stores. For 2025-26 (Apr-Mar), the company reported a net profit of INR 2.27 billion, up 17% on year. Its revenue rose 13% to INR 68.56 billion for the year.
