Burger King-Parent Restaurant Brands Beats Quarterly Estimates on Value ...
Adjusted profit rose to 86 cents a share as Burger King same-store sales climbed 5.8% and revenue increased 7%, the company said.
On Wednesday, Restaurant Brands International Inc. reported first-quarter net income of $338 million, or 97 cents per share, as revenue rose 7% to $2.26 billion.
Strong international growth and a successful turnaround at Burger King U.S. fueled the results, with Burger King reporting same-store sales growth of 5.8% driven by renovated restaurants and upgraded Whopper ingredients.
Tim Hortons' same-store sales ticked up 1.6% during the quarter, while Popeyes remained the portfolio's laggard, reporting same-store sales declines of 6.5%.
Excluding non-recurring expenses, the company earned 86 cents per share, topping the 82 cents Wall Street analysts expected, while overall comparable sales grew 3.2%.
Popeyes is focusing on its operations and core menu items to address the steeper-than-forecast sales decline and revive performance.
