Westlife Foodworld, the operator of McDonald's restaurants in West and South India, reported consolidated revenue from operations of Rs 641.85 crore for Q2 FY26, up about 3.9% from Rs 618.00 crore in Q2 FY25. For the half year (H1 FY26), revenue rose roughly 5.3% to Rs 1,299.49 crore versus Rs 1,234.33 crore a year ago. However, profit before exceptional items turned sharply weak, indicating significant margin compression in the core restaurant business. Reported PBT was lifted by a one-time exceptional gain of Rs 58.17 crore from a property redevelopment transaction in Mumbai, partly offset by a Rs 5.36 crore impairment of an investment by its subsidiary HRPL. Net of these, underlying profitability deteriorated materially versus the prior year. Operating cash flow remained healthy at about Rs 149.81 crore for the half year. Statutory auditor SRBC & Co LLP issued an unqualified limited review report on both consolidated and standalone results.
Shareholders should note that headline profit was propped up by a non-recurring property redevelopment gain; core restaurant margins look weak and compressed. The stock may face pressure on concerns over same-store sales and cost pressure, though strong operating cash flow and the cash boost from the redevelopment provide near-term cushion.
