Global same store sales grew by 30.9% while restaurant expansion and the acquisition of Milksha contributed 13.8%. Changes in currency exchange rates added 6.6% to the sales growth. The Philippine business’ same store sales for the third quarter grew by 48.5%, sustaining the strong growth in the second quarter of 2022, driven largely by an increase in volume of customer visits compared to a year ago.

The China business’ same store sales declined by 4.6% due to a resurgence of COVID in key cities.
JFC CEO, Mr. Ernesto Tanmantiong gave the following comment: “The JFC Group achieved another record quarter with system wide sales reaching Php77.8 billion, up 51.3% versus same quarter last year. All regions registered double-digit sales growth driven by strong same store sales and store network growth. Our beverage business composed of CBTL, Highlands Coffee and Milksha, which currently accounts for 30% of the JFC Group’s consolidated store network and 15% of consolidated
system wide sales, generated a 90.6% year-on-year growth in system wide sales in the third quarter. We continue to see a strengthening of our sales globally and are confident that we can deliver according to our full-year outlook.”
The JFC group generated an operating income for the third quarter of Php3.0 billion, close to the Php3.1 billion generated in the second quarter and three times higher than the operating income for the same period in 2021. General and administrative expenses as well as advertising and promotions grew at a slower rate than revenues, improving the expense ratio from 13.1% of revenues for the third quarter of 2021 to 11.6% for the third quarter of 2022.
JFC Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Richard Shin gave the following statement: “JFC reported a solid performance in the third quarter of 2022 driven by record system wide sales and revenues and continued improvement in margins despite macro-economic pressures. Consolidated operating income grew by 219.6% to Php3.0 billion, from a revenue growth of 49.0%. We recorded consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of Php8.2 billion in the third quarter, up 64.8% from the Php5.0 billion in the same period last year. We also reported a record quarter 3 net income attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company of Php2.1 billion compared to Php1.6 billion in the third quarter of 2021, a growth of 36.4% year-on-year, despite a challenging currency and base rate environment.”
