Westlife Foodworld, the McDonald's franchisee in India, reported Q4 FY25 consolidated sales of INR 6 billion, up 7% year-on-year, with same-store sales growth (SSSG) of 0.7% (1.7% adjusted for leap year impact). Full-year FY25 sales were INR 24.9 billion, EBITDA INR 3.3 billion, and cash PAT INR 1.9 billion. The company added 47 new restaurants in FY25, in line with its 45–50 guidance, bringing the total network to 438 stores across 69 cities. Operating EBITDA margin dipped about 50 basis points YoY due to operating deleverage. Management reaffirmed its Vision 2027 target of 580–630 restaurants and said it is seeing 'green shoots' in demand, expecting a return to mid-to-high single-digit SSSG over the next couple of years.
Modestly positive for shareholders — second consecutive quarter of positive SSSG signals demand recovery, but margin pressure from operating deleverage and a soft consumption environment remain near-term concerns. Expansion is fully funded through internal accruals with stable net debt (INR 90 crore, 0.15x equity), limiting balance sheet risk while Vision 2027 store targets offer medium-term growth visibility.
