What the record says.
Devyani International reported Q2 FY26 consolidated revenue of ₹1,377 crore, up 12.6% YoY, driven by store expansion and international growth. KFC added 30 net stores, while Pizza Hut added 3. Brand contribution margin declined to 11.7% (ex-Skygate: 12.4%) due to Skygate consolidation and promotional intensity. Management reiterated Skygate brand contribution breakeven by March 2026. Demand environment remains weak, with consumers value-conscious; same-store sales for KFC were negative mid-single digits, impacted by Shradh/Navratri overlap and unseasonal rains. International business (Thailand) grew 14% YoY with stable margins. Guidance includes 100-110 KFC store additions for FY26 and 20-21 KFC stores in Thailand. Risk: sustained weak consumption may delay margin recovery.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management reiterated achieving brand contribution breakeven for Skygate by end of FY26, with steady progress reported.
- KFC India on track to open 100-110 net new stores in FY26; 30 added in Q2.
- International business to add 20-21 KFC stores in Thailand during FY26.
- Franchise and own brands (including Biryani by Kilo, Wango) to add ~100 net stores in FY26 with capex of about ₹50 crore.
Risks flagged
- Management noted demand environment remains weak; consumers are value-conscious and promotional intensity is required to drive transactions.
- Analyst raised Yum's global commentary on Pizza Hut franchise rationalization; management stated agreements are protected but uncertainty remains.
- Skygate consolidation continues to drag brand contribution margins; breakeven target by March 2026 may be delayed if turnaround stalls.
- KFC India same-store sales were negative mid-single digits; Thailand also reported negative SSSG, indicating underlying weakness.
Key quotes
- The demand environment in our view continues to be weak. And therefore we've seen that whenever let's say we do some promotions or promotion intensity it kind of picks up very well and the moment you kind of withdraw that it falls back.
- Our goal is to achieve brand contribution break even by March 2026 and we are pleased to report steady progress towards this milestone.
- As far as we are concerned all of our agreements are well protected and in case of any such event there's no difference that is going to impact us as far as the India business or any of the other businesses where we have Pizza Hut.
