New Delhi: Restaurant Brands Asia (RBA), formerly Burger King India, on Tuesday reported a strong operating performance for the December quarter, with revenue from operations rising 16.5% year-on-year to ₹5,773 million, aided by steady demand and a 4.5% increase in same-store sales.
The company’s standalone EBITDA for Q3 FY26 climbed 20.9% to ₹953 million, supported by an improvement in gross margins to 69.9%, up over 210 basis points from a year earlier. Management attributed the margin expansion to ongoing supply-chain and distribution efficiencies.
RBA continued to expand aggressively during the quarter, adding 44 restaurants and taking its Burger King India store count to 577 across 141 cities.
The company said the expansion strategy, coupled with menu innovation and everyday value positioning, helped sustain traffic growth despite a competitive quick-service restaurant market.
Rajeev Varman, whole-time director and group CEO, said the 4.5% same-store sales growth marked the tenth consecutive quarter of positive growth over the past three years, underlining the brand’s traction with increasingly discerning consumers. He added that the company remains focused on improving profitability and expanding its footprint to drive long-term, sustainable growth.
Restaurant Brands Asia is the national master franchisee of Burger King in India and also operates Burger King and Popeyes in Indonesia through subsidiaries, as it looks to scale its quick-service restaurant portfolio across key Asian markets.
