Q1 SALES ANNOUNCEMENT
Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited (“RBD”) has today released its Q1 sales results.
FY24 Q1 Sales Results
RBD total sales for the first quarter to 31 March 2024 were $333.0 million, representing a $24.4 million
(+7.9%) increase on the equivalent period last year.
Strong sales growth in the New Zealand and Hawaiian markets offset slowing sales growth in Australia
and negative sales growth in California. Cost of living pressures, driven by inflation and elevated interest
rates, continue to impact consumer spending in all our markets.
The Group remains focused on driving improved margins and increased profit levels while maintaining
brand health, protecting our strong customer base and continuing to position the business to deliver
sustainable long-term value.
This is supported by ongoing strategic pricing and cost control programmes across all markets,
alongside investments into technology, product innovation, network expansion and brand experience.
New Zealand
New Zealand sales for the first quarter were $149.0 million, up 15.2% in total and 11.4% on a same
store basis. Sales increased across all brands, driven by additional store openings, innovation through
marketing initiatives and improvement in trading hours which has flowed through to solid transaction
growth.
Store numbers increased by two to 149 stores during the quarter. In addition to the 149 company owned
stores, the business has 122 Pizza Hut stores run by independent franchisees (an increase of 12 stores
from March 2023).
Australia
Australia sales for the first quarter were $A68.9 million ($NZ73.9 million), an increase of 1.4% in total
on the prior year (local currency). Same store sales were down 2.7% (local currency). Cost of living
pressures continue to have a significant impact in this market on discretionary household expenditure.

on the prior year (local currency). Same store sales were up 6.7% (local currency). Hawaii trading
remains solid, particularly in Taco Bell stores, driven by successful new product initiatives.

on the prior year (local currency). Same store sales were down 7.7% (local currency). Cost of living
