Profitability & Margins

KFC expects improvement in Same Store Sales Growth (SSSG) from flattish levels, with ongoing campaigns and pricing strategies aimed at growth in Quarter 3 and beyond.
Pizza Hut's revival is focused on sustained mass media investment and innovation, especially leveraging the successful model in Tamil Nadu with mid-teens growth delta versus the rest of India; broader pan-India growth anticipated but likely over 2-3 years.
Operating leverage benefits from better SSSG are expected to gradually offset additional marketing spends, particularly in Tamil Nadu, though full margin recovery is projected over a 2-3 year period.
Gross margin investments in value campaigns (like Epic Saver, Juicylicious) will continue, which may constrain near-term margin expansion.

Expansion pace for KFC is around 60 to 80 new stores per year.
Innovations and new product launches like Ultimate Cheese Pizza, Cheesy Pockets, and Cold Coffee for Pizza Hut reflect ongoing strategic efforts to drive growth.
Continued investment in advertising and marketing, especially in Tamil Nadu and other key markets, is vital for brand revival and growth—a multi-year journey is anticipated.

- Digital kiosks rolled out across 50% of the KFC estate to improve customer experience and ownership of delivery channels. - Further investments, including potential additional marketing spends for Pizza Hut to support brand revival pan-India, are under consideration but subject to alignment with Yum! and other stakeholders. Overall, strategic investments are focused on store expansion, innovation, marketing, and digital channels to drive growth sustainably.
