Sapphire Foods, the KFC and Pizza Hut franchisee operator in India and Sri Lanka, released its Q4 FY26 corporate presentation. The company operates 1,052 restaurants across India, Sri Lanka, and Maldives. Q4FY26 restaurant sales grew 11% YoY to ₹7,898 million, but EBITDA margin contracted 20 basis points to 15.8%. For full year FY26, EBITDA margin fell 170 basis points to 15.4% (from 17.1% in FY25), with adjusted EBITDA down 9% to ₹2,382 million. KFC India maintained strong unit economics with 16.3% restaurant EBITDA and added 73 net new restaurants, while Pizza Hut India showed concerning trends with restaurant EBITDA turning negative at -3.3% and only 7 net additions. The company also disclosed a proposed merger with Devyani International, announced in January 2026.
The stock faces pressure due to margin contraction and Pizza Hut's deteriorating unit economics, though KFC's continued expansion provides some offset. The proposed merger with Devyani International adds uncertainty but could create synergies if approved.
