Jollibee bullish about keeping growth streak in 2026
Jollibee Foods Corp. sees its growth streak to hold through 2026 amid its aggressive expansion push and a move toward an asset-light strategy.
The fast-food giant on Wednesday said it recorded “encouraging developments” in its operations. Initial data showed a sustained upswing in the fourth quarter.
Sales performance across the group has also been posting “solid momentum.” The group’s operations in foreign markets remained resilient, coupled with normalized domestic business.
The launching of new stores was also “tracking in line” with targets, propelled by optimism in consumer demand.
The underlying fundamentals of the Jollibee Group remain strong,” said Richard Shin, Jollibee Group chief financial and risk officer.
“We remain focused on disciplined execution across markets while advancing our long-term growth priorities,” Shin said in a statement.
In the first nine months of 2025, the company saw its net income attributable to equity holders of the parent company rise by 2.2 percent to P8.65 billion from P8.46 billion previously.
The firm’s top line registered at P224.22 billion, 14.3 percent higher than P196.24 billion earlier.
This, as system-wide sales revved up by 18.4 percent to P332.8 billion from P281.1 billion.
For the third quarter alone, system-wide sales realized an increase of 16.8 percent to P115.1 billion.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization stood at P31.91 billion, an improvement of 12.4 percent from P28.39 billion.
During the period, the group rolled out 754 new stores.
Jollibee’s portfolio includes 19 brands, with more than 10,000 stores and cafés across 33 countries.
Earlier this week, the group said it would redeem $300 million worth of guaranteed senior capital securities through its wholly owned subsidiary Jollibee Worldwide Pte Ltd.
