KFC and Pizza Hut operator Devyani International posted a nearly four-fold rise in June-quarter consolidated net profit attributable to owners, reaching ₹14.6 crore, as consolidated revenue from operations grew 16.5% year-on-year to ₹1,580.5 crore. Operating EBITDA rose 38% to ₹151.1 crore, with margins improving to 9.6% from 8.1% a year earlier, while reported EBITDA hit a record ₹254.8 crore at a 16.1% margin.
KFC remained the clear growth anchor, delivering 3.3% same-store sales growth and 11.7% revenue growth to ₹684.2 crore. The chain added 11 net new stores in India and two in Thailand, pushing its India count to 794. Pizza Hut showed sequential improvement in same-store sales despite trimming 13 outlets in India, ending the quarter with 626 stores, as the company leaned on dine-in and takeaway channels for recruitment and value alongside online convenience plays.
Costa Coffee, Biryani By Kilo and Vaango kept up the momentum too, posting same-store sales growth of 10.2%, 7.2% and 7.1% respectively. The quarter’s marketing push leaned on dine-in exclusive campaigns such as KFC Birthday Month Double Deal, “Forgot Father’s Day Again, Genius?”, Double Chicken Dynamite, Epic Savers and Chicken Krisper Meal.
Devyani closed the quarter with 2,255 stores across markets and said it remains on track for its FY27 expansion targets. Chairman Ravi Jaipuria said the company entered the new fiscal year with strong momentum carried over from H2 FY26, with most brands in positive territory. He added that the proposed Sapphire Foods merger is progressing on schedule, with NSE and BSE approvals secured and completion expected by the end of FY27.
