Restaurant Brands Delivers Solid Sales Growth for the Second Quarter
Restaurant Brands’ total sales for the second quarter to 30 June 2021, including trading from its
California business acquired last year, were $280.9 million.
The increase in sales of $97.6 million was as a result of a recovery from prior year’s COVID-19 trading
restrictions (including Government-mandated COVID-19 store closures in April in New Zealand),
coupled with the inclusion of trading for the California acquisition, 11 additional stores in Australia, and
strong same store sales growth in all regions.
COVID-19 continues to impact the business, resulting in a higher mix of drive through and delivery sales
in all markets.
Total year to date sales were $540.6 million, an increase of 41.0% on the prior year (including the
California acquisition).
Company owned store numbers were 350, up by 60 on the equivalent period last year.
New Zealand
Second quarter sales for New Zealand were $124.1 million, an increase of $47.5 million or 61.9% in
total and 14.0% on a same store basis.
KFC, Pizza Hut and Carl’s Jr. all showed solid same store growth, whilst the newly opened Taco Bell
stores continue to trade at expected levels.
Total year to date sales were $239.3 million, an increase of 37.0% on the prior year and 12.5% on a
same store basis
The comparative quarterly sales growth was assisted by the loss of four weeks of trading in April last
year as a result of Government-mandated COVID-19 store closures. This resulted in lost sales of
approximately $33 million.
Store numbers decreased by four during the quarter to 132, with the sale of six Pizza Hut stores to
independent franchisees, partly offset by the opening of two new stores (KFC Takanini and Taco Bell
Eastgate, Christchurch).
Australia
Second quarter sales for Australia totaled $A60.7 million ($NZ64.9 million), an increase of 32.9%. This
was primarily due to less COVID-19 trading restrictions, new store openings late last year and store
acquisition activity.
Same store sales were up 9.5% (local currency), with drive-through store sales continuing to grow
strongly. Mall and in-line inner city store sales have yet to recover to pre-COVID-19 levels.
Total year to date sales were $A114.8 million ($NZ123.0 million), an increase of 21.6% on the prior year
and 5.2% on a same store basis.
Store numbers increased by one during the quarter to 76, following the opening of a new Taco Bell store
in Green Square, Sydney. Compared with the prior year they were up 11 with acquisitions (five stores)
and new store builds (six stores).
Hawaii
Second quarter sales in Hawaii were $US37.2 million ($NZ51.9 million), an increase of 4.7% and 10.1%
on a same store basis (local currency). Sales in $NZ were lower due to the 15% appreciation of the New
Zealand dollar compared to the prior year second quarter.
Pizza Hut continues to respond well to the increased demand for home delivery. The small downturn
last year in Taco Bell sales has reversed following some lifting of COVID-19 restrictions.
Total year to date sales were $US72.7 million ($NZ101.0 million), an increase of 5.7% on the prior year
in total and up 9.9% on a same store basis.
Store numbers remained steady during the quarter at 73 stores.
California
Californian second quarter sales were $US28.7 million ($NZ40.1 million), up on both prior year levels
and pre-purchase expectations.
Total year to date sales were $US55.2 million ($NZ77.3 million).
Store numbers remain unchanged from the 69 stores acquired in September 2020.
Half Year Results
The company expects to release its half year trading results on 24 August 2021.
