Devyani International Reports Narrowed Q2 Loss on Strong Sales Growth
Devyani International, operator of KFC and Pizza Hut in India, reported a sharp narrowing of its second-quarter net loss to 24 lakh rupees, compared to a loss of 21.89 crore a year earlier. This improvement was driven by a 4.4% rise in same-store sales at KFC for the third consecutive quarter and a 10.4% increase in revenue to 15.19 billion rupees. Despite higher raw material costs and inflationary pressures, the company added 70 new stores and expects to open 200-220 stores this year, while maintaining cautious outlook on discretionary spending.
