Restaurant Brands Total Sales Impacted By COVID-19 During Second Quarter


Restaurant Brands’ second quarter sales were materially impacted by Government-mandated trading

restrictions implemented in response to the COVID-19 crisis. All stores in New Zealand were closed

between 25 March and 28 April, and then only open for delivery and drive through until 14 May.

Australian stores operated without dine-in for the quarter and 10 mall stores were closed for half of the

quarter. Hawaiian stores operated without dine-in for the entire quarter.


Restaurant Brands’ total sales for the second quarter of the financial year (three months to 30 June

2020) were $183.3 million, a decrease of $22.6 million or 11.0% on the equivalent period last year

primarily due to the full closure of the New Zealand stores for most of April.


Total year to date sales were $383.4 million, a decrease of 3.2% on the prior year; however on a same

store basis (removing the impact of stores closed because of the COVID-19 crisis) all divisions recorded

growth despite these disruptions.


Company store numbers were up by three on the equivalent period last year to 290.


New Zealand


Second quarter total sales for New Zealand were $76.6 million, a decrease of 28.8% on the equivalent

period last year as a result of the Government-mandated full store closures during April.


However on a same store basis sales were up 3.0% for the quarter, despite nearly three weeks of

delivery and drive through trading only, with KFC and Carl’s Jr. continuing to trade strongly once COVID-

19 restrictions were lifted.


Year to date sales for New Zealand were $174.6 million, a decrease of 15.7% in total; but up 2.7% on

a same store basis.


Store numbers increased by two during the quarter to 150, with openings of a KFC in Christchurch CBD

and a Taco Bell in Auckland CBD.


Australia


Second quarter sales for Australia were $A45.7 million ($NZ48.8 million), a decrease of 0.6% arising

from the ongoing unavailability of instore dining due to local COVID-19 restrictions. On a same store

basis sales were down 1.3% (local currency).


Year to date sales for Australia were $A94.4 million ($NZ99.1 million), an increase of 6.1% on a total

basis due to new store openings late last year and up 0.3% on a same store basis (local currency).


Store numbers remained steady at 65 during the quarter.



United States


Second quarter sales in the United States were $US35.6 million ($NZ57.9 million). This was an increase

of 8.0% on a total basis and 8.1% on a same store basis (local currency). A small downturn in Taco Bell

sales arising from the ongoing unavailability of instore dining (due to local COVID-19 restrictions) was

more than offset by strong Pizza Hut sales which benefitted from newly enhanced web order and

delivery functions.


Year to date sales were $US68.7 million ($NZ109.7 million), an increase of 7.2% on a total basis and

8.0% on a same store basis (local currency).


Store numbers remained constant at 75 during the quarter.
