Disciplined execution of both our cost optimization initiatives and portfolio innovation efforts helped stimulate growth and profitability. The expansion in operating margin and earnings underscores the effectiveness of our strategy.
I am particularly pleased with the successful expansion of our international business, which is now making a meaningful contribution to the overall performance.
- Jollibee international is delivering strong growth despite softness in the broader US market.
- The Coffee and Tea segment continues its upward trajectory, emerging as one of the fastest-growing segments. Expansion across key geographies is driving incremental revenue and margin enhancement.
- Compose Coffee is set to surpass 3,000 stores and remains on track to deliver a 36% Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) in 2025, demonstrating the value-creating potential of this acquisition.
- Smashburger has a clearly defined path toward improving financial performance, supported by operational improvements, product innovations and conversion of company-owned stores to franchised stores.
- China is showing early signs of recovery, marking a potential turnaround in performance.
We also continue to deploy capital expenditures selectively, with a focus on supporting the growth of our high-performing Philippine business, Jollibee international and coffee and tea brands. This balanced approach ensures that our investments are aligned with both strategic priorities and return objectives.
We remain confident in our direction and capabilities, and we are reaffirming our full-year guidance."
