Westlife Foodworld (McDonald's operator for West and South India) reported Q1 FY26 sales of ₹6.58 billion, up 6.7% year-on-year, marking the third consecutive quarter of positive same-store sales growth at 0.5%. Operating EBITDA rose 6.9% YoY to ₹855 million with margin steady at 13.0%, while cash profit after tax was ₹474 million (7.2% margin). Gross margin expanded 160 basis points sequentially to 71.6% on supply chain efficiencies, and restaurant operating margin improved 80 bps to 19.9%. The store network reached 444 restaurants across 71 cities with 9 new additions in the quarter, keeping the company on track for its 580-630 store target by 2027.
Management has guided to a significant margin expansion path, targeting 18-20% Operating EBITDA margin by 2027 (vs 13% currently) along with aggressive network expansion. The improving same-store sales trajectory and steady margin profile are positive signals for shareholders, though PAT margin remains thin at 0.2% reported due to Ind AS 116 adjustments.
