Metro Manila, Philippines, August 10, 2022 – Jollibee Foods Corporation (PSE: JFC) – Financial Results for the Second Quarter and First Semester Ended June 30, 2022

Following are the highlights of the financial results of operations of Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) and its subsidiaries for the second quarter and first semester ended June 30, 2022, based on its Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements:

Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC), one of Asia’s largest food service companies reported record-high system wide sales in the second quarter. System wide sales, a measure of all sales to consumers, both from company-owned and franchised stores increased by 44.8% to Php73.1 billion in the second quarter of 2022 driven by 32.6% same store sales growth, 7.2% from new stores and new acquisition and 5.0% favorable foreign currency translation. Revenues grew by 41.9% to Php52.1 billion.

Same store sales for the Philippine business increased by 51.5% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter last year. Practically all brands registered strong double-digit growth as demand bounced back with the easing of Covid-related restrictions in many parts of the country. The international business grew by 6.9% despite a 29.5% decline in the China business’ same store sales growth due to COVID-related restrictions. North America posted a growth of 7.5%, Europe/Middle East/other parts of Asia (EMEAA) 14.0%, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® (CBTL) 16.3%, and SuperFoods 50.7% produced strong growth.

The JFC Group’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ernesto Tanmantiong gave the following statement: “We are pleased with our strong top line growth led by our Philippine business which delivered better-than-expected sales for the second quarter and got back to its pre-pandemic sales level. We are encouraged to see further improvement in dine-in sales while at the same time sustaining growth in our delivery business. Outside the Philippines, our China business saw double-digit decline in sales as our restaurants particularly in Shanghai were closed temporarily for most of the quarter due to heightened Covid-related restrictions. The softness in China’s sales was however, offset by other international markets, such as North America and EMEAA particularly Vietnam (+50.9% for Jollibee and SuperFoods), which continued to grow well with robust same store sales growth. We are very confident about the strong recovery of our China business in the months ahead, faster sales and profit growth of our other businesses abroad and sustained strong growth of our Philippine business.”

The JFC Group generated a new high of Php3.1 billion in operating income in the second quarter, double the level a year ago driven by the strong profit performance of the Philippine business. Operating margin improved by 2.1 percentage points to 5.9% from an improvement in gross profit and total expenses as a percentage of total revenue. For the first half of the year, operating income grew by 76.1% to Php5.0 billion while operating income margin grew by 1.3% points.

The JFC Group’s Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Richard Shin stated the following: “Gross profit margin climbed to 17.9% in the second quarter of 2022 or +1.1%, from 16.8% last year despite a 2.2% increase in cost of inventories (as a percentage of total revenue) from cost pressures on raw materials and higher freight. This was offset by a 3.3% points reduction in store and manufacturing costs reflecting JFC’s effective pricing actions and operational efficiencies to support margins. Total expenses which include General and administrative expenses and Advertising and promotions increased at a slower rate compared to total revenue. As a percentage of total revenue, total expenses improved by 0.9% points year-on-year.”

Net income attributable to equity holders of the parent company reached Php2.8 billion or 2.310 per share (Basic EPS), almost three-fold increase over the Php976 million or Php0.885 per share it earned in the same period last year. For the first semester, net income attributable amounted to Php5.1 billion compared to Php1.1 billion for the same period last year.
