Devyani International Reports Narrowed Q4 Loss and Revenue Growth on Strong KFC Sales

Devyani International, operator of KFC, Pizza Hut, and Costa Coffee in India, reported a narrowed consolidated net loss of around Rs 10 crore in Q4 FY26, improved from Rs 14.7 crore a year ago. Revenue rose to approximately Rs 1,437 crore, up 18.5% sequentially. Despite higher operating and finance costs, strong KFC sales and improved operating traction contributed to better performance. For FY26, revenue increased 13.3% to Rs 5,611.5 crore, though net loss widened due to elevated expenses and acquisition costs.
