Outlook
19

Despite a solid start to the year in terms of

sales growth, the continued challenges of the

COVID-19 pandemic and high inflation have adv

ersely impacted 1H profitability.

However, Taco Bell store builds will continue in

Australia and New Zealand (another five stores

expected to open by year end). New KFC store

openings will continue in New Zealand and

California. Hawaii will continue focus on mainta

ining the refurbishment programme momentum.

Significant uncertainty continues with CO

VID-19 and high inflation. However, the

company is confident in its ability to manage and recover input costs as the year progresses with some improvement alr

eady seen. Whilst the prevailing uncertainty

makes it difficult to provide firm guidance,

the company predicts a full year reported

NPAT of $32 to 37 million.
