Sapphire Foods Narrows Q2 Loss as Revenue Rises 20% on Promotional Offers
Sapphire Foods India, operator of KFC and Pizza Hut in India and Sri Lanka, reported a narrowed net loss of around Rs 1.5 crore for Q2 FY27, down from Rs 12.8 crore a year earlier. Revenue rose about 20% to Rs 888 crore, driven by promotional offers like KFC's buy-one-get-one deal and Pizza Hut's Rs 299 sibling meal. Same-store sales grew 14% at KFC and 5% at Pizza Hut despite rising raw material and energy costs. The company added 16 outlets in the quarter and plans to merge with Devyani International.
