NEW DELHI/KOLKATA – Jubilant Foodworks Ltd. Thursday reported a modest on-year rise in its standalone bottom line for the June quarter, falling short of the Street's expectation. Total expenses and revenue from operations grew at a similar pace for the three months. Meanwhile, other income recorded a sharp on-year decline. However, a paltry on-year rise in the tax outgo lent support to the bottom line, which reverted to year-on-year growth following a decline in the trailing quarter. 

 

The company's net profit grew over 4% to INR 696 million from INR 667 million in the year-ago quarter. Analysts had pegged the net profit at INR 700.22 million. The company's net profit from continuing operations totalled INR 727.88 million, against INR 735.06 million in the year-ago quarter. 

 

The company's revenue rose over 9% on year to INR 18.49 billion, below analysts' consensus estimate of INR 19.29 billion. This marked the 22nd quarter of year-on-year rise in net sales, and the pace of growth was higher than in the trailing quarter.

 

In a letter to its shareholders submitted to the bourses, the company said that Domino's India delivered 6.5% order growth and 2.5% like-for-like growth despite strong 11.6% like-for-like growth in the same quarter last year. Popeyes continued its exceptional momentum, with revenue growth of 97% and like-for-like growth of over 40% for the third consecutive quarter. Across the group, the company added net 76 new stores during the quarter.

 

Innovation contributed to broaden its customer proposition, with the launch of Chicken Maxxx, ready-to-drink cold coffee and mousse. These initiatives are designed not simply to create new products, but to increase customer relevance, drive frequency, and increase participation across more consumption occasions, the company said in the letter. 

 

Jubilant Foodworks' net profit from continuing operations, however, fell marginally by around a percent on year to nearly INR 728 million in the June quarter. The adjusted earnings before interest, tax, deprecation, and amortisation grew to INR 2.24 billion in the June quarter from INR 2.09 billion in the year-ago quarter, and adjusted EBITDA margin contracted marginally to 12.1% in the June quarter from 12.3% in the year-ago quarter. 

 

Jubilant Foodworks said it is equally focused on rebuilding its dine-in and take-away channel. "We have established dedicated leadership for the channel, are upgrading approximately 400 dine-in heavy stores and have introduced propositions specifically designed to improve value perception and drive store traffic," the letter from the company read. "The early indicators are encouraging and we believe that this channel is beginning to turn the corner." 

 

Jubilant Foodworks' gross margin in the June quarter improved to 75.5% from 74.1% in the year-ago quarter. 

 

The company also continued to see strong underlying performance across its international businesses. Dominos Pizza Eurasia delivered 28% on-year revenue growth, while Sri Lanka and Bangladesh continued to grow strongly. Reported profitability in Dominos Pizza Eurasia has been influenced by the accounting effects of hyperinflation this quarter; however, on a normalised basis, the underlying operating performance remained healthy, the company said. The business in Eurasia continues to generate cash and has upstreamed nearly INR 520 million in dividends to the parent entity over the last nine months.

 

Going ahead, the company said it remain conscious that the consumer environment continues to demand both affordability and compelling value. "Our approach to pricing will therefore remain measured. We will use pricing selectively to protect the structural economics of the business, while keeping customer value at the centre of our proposition," the letter read.

 

Jubilant Foodworks said it wants to strengthen the Domino's brand in India and Turkey, scale Popeyes and COFFY brands, and use technology and data to make the entire business more productive and customer-centric.

 

Shares of Jubilant Foodworks closed 1.4% higher at INR 491.55 on the National Stock Exchange. End
