Jubilant FoodWorks Ltd, the operator of Domino’s pizza chain in India, disclosed a 13.9% year-on-year drop in its Q4 FY26 net profit to Rs 42.6 crore, despite a 6.4% revenue increase to Rs 1,679.7 crore. The company’s Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) surged by 11.5% to Rs 345 crore, with the EBITDA margin expanding to 20.5% from 19.6% compared to the previous year, as per its stock exchange filing.

Additionally, the company’s revenue grew by 5.0% year-on-year, delivery revenue increased by 10.3% year-on-year, and the overall order volume saw a 10.4% annual growth.
Jubilant FoodWorks highlighted the addition of 61 stores across all brands during the quarter, bringing the total store count in India to 2,562. The company’s strategies to enhance affordability, such as reducing the free delivery threshold to Rs 99, offering targeted cashbacks, and eliminating packaging charges in specific markets, led to a moderation in average bill values, according to its shareholder letter.
Popeyes, the company’s southern fried chicken fast-food chain, experienced a remarkable 28% year-on-year growth in same-store sales. Despite challenging market conditions, Domino’s India managed to achieve LFL growth within the 5–7% medium-term guidance for the past two years. Looking ahead, the firm anticipates focusing more on growth and technology investments, aiming to add approximately 300 stores annually, with an increasing emphasis on Popeyes.
In the initial six weeks of Q1FY27, Jubilant FoodWorks reported robust delivery order volumes and early indications of stabilization in blended bill values. The company emphasized that its capital deployment strategy will prioritize growth and technology investments in the medium term.
