Westlife Foodworld Ltd, the operator of McDonald’s restaurants across West and South India, on Thursday reported quarterly revenue of ₹655 crore for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2026, an 8.7 per cent rise year-on-year, as the company added 21 new restaurants and kept a lid on costs to protect margins.
Same Store Sales Growth (SSSG) came in at 1.5 per cent for the quarter, with the company noting that momentum built progressively through Q4. Operating EBITDA rose 9.6 per cent year-on-year to ₹87 crore, while the EBITDA margin held broadly stable at 13.3 per cent. Cash profit after tax stood at ₹48.7 crore, representing 7.4 per cent of sales.
Restaurant operating margins improved by approximately 70 basis points year-on-year. Gross margins expanded around 60 basis points sequentially, aided by supply chain efficiencies and proactive sourcing, even as the company navigated cost pressures from LPG price volatility and commodity inflation.
On-premise channels accounted for 58 per cent of overall sales. Dine-in and takeaway together grew 9 per cent year-on-year, while off-premise sales — including the McDelivery platform — rose 6 per cent year-on-year. Digital channels contributed approximately 76 per cent to total sales. The company reported around 3.5 million monthly active users and roughly 52 million cumulative app downloads.
With the addition of 21 restaurants in the quarter, Westlife’s network now stands at 478 outlets across 78 cities. The company has set a target of adding over 60 restaurants in FY27, with a medium-term goal of reaching 580–630 restaurants by 2027.
Chairperson Amit Jatia attributed the performance to value offerings, digital engagement, and cost discipline, and said the company is focused on building an omni-channel ecosystem.
On the NSE, Westlife Foodworld shares closed at ₹500.95 on Thursday, up 1.31 per cent on the day, though the stock remains down about 28 per cent over the past year against a total market capitalisation of approximately ₹7,751 crore.
