Summary of Sapphire Foods India's latest earnings call, featuring management's outlook on business performance, financial results, and analyst Q&A sessions that highlight key strategic initiatives and market challenges.
Last updated: Feb 25
The management of Sapphire Foods provided a cautiously optimistic outlook, emphasizing double-digit growth across revenue, EBITDA, and margins. Key points include:
Expansion Plans: Targeting ~70"“80 new KFC stores annually in India and 20"“25 Pizza Hut stores, with Sri Lanka expansion contingent on unit economics.
Same-Store Sales Growth (SSSG):
Margins:
Demand Environment: Soft consumer sentiment, but potential uplift from budget measures (middle-class tax relief). Delivery outperforming dine-in, but strategies to revive dine-in traffic.
Cost Management: Stable gross margins via operational efficiency (dynamic kitchen planning, ESG leadership).
Competition: No material impact from new entrants (e.g., Popeyes); focus on core differentiation and brand loyalty.
ESG: Ranked No. 1 QSR in India for sustainability (DJSI) and global 97th percentile.
Outlook hinges on SSSG recovery, strategic store additions, and macroeconomic tailwinds.

Question 1:
Percy Panthaki (IIFL Securities): Congrats on a good set of numbers. On KFC, the SSSG is still in negative territory. Do you have any visibility or any initial signs of it turning positive? And if so, over what time period do you think this can happen?
Answer:
KFC's SSSG trajectory improved slightly (from -8% in Q2 to -3% in Q3). While base effects may aid Q4 FY25, consumer sentiment remains soft. SSSG recovery depends on genuine demand improvement, not just base adjustments.
Question 2:
Percy Panthaki (IIFL Securities): What is the sustainable 3-year CAGR expectation for Sri Lanka's top-line growth assuming stable currency?
Answer:
Sri Lanka targets a 15% revenue CAGR, driven by store expansion and SSSG. Unit economics are improving, with cautious store openings (~4"“5/year) if margins remain stable.
Question 3:
Avi Mehta (Macquarie): Have competitive intensity or budget-related consumer benefits impacted SSSG trends?
Answer:
Competitive intensity remains stable. The budget's middle-class tax relief may boost consumption, but timing/impact are uncertain.
Question 4:
Saurabh Kundan (Goldman Sachs): What are the learnings from KFC's core-menu pilots? Will this strategy expand pan-India?
Answer:
Pilots focused on promoting core products (e.g., fried chicken, Zinger Burger) to attract infrequent users. Early results show improved transaction growth. Margins remain stable as revenue offsets gross margin pressure.
Question 5:
Tejas Shah (Avendus): What is the store expansion guidance? Are rentals a concern?
Answer:
KFC: 70"“80 stores/year; Pizza Hut: 20"“25. Rentals are stable due to long-term leases. Expansion markers include SSSG, ADS, and cohort performance.
Question 6:
Jay Doshi (Kotak): Has Pizza Hut's recovery reduced competition from smaller players?
Answer:
Organized brands gain during downturns by prioritizing customer experience. Pizza Hut's differentiation (taste, value) and marketing sustain recovery.
Question 7:
Priyam Khimawat (ValueQuest): Can KFC's margins rebound to 20% with higher SSSG?
Answer:
KFC's margins (18% ±) require 5%+ SSSG to offset inflation. Double-digit SSSG (unlikely near-term) is needed for 20% margins.
Question 8:
Dhiraj Mistry (Antique): How did demand trend in Q3, and what is the Q4 outlook?
Answer:
Q3 demand improved (KFC's flat transactions vs. H1 declines). Q4 remains challenging for KFC, while Pizza Hut's stable ADS limits margin upside.
Question 9:
Vishal Gutka (HDFC Securities): Is anti-US sentiment affecting KFC?
Answer:
No measurable impact. KFC (95% non-veg) remains unaffected by geopolitical sentiments.
Question 10:
Vishal Gutka (HDFC Securities): Can Pizza Hut reduce capex further?
Answer:
Capex (~INR 1.35"“1.4 crore/store) is optimized via smaller formats. Further cuts risk compromising consumer experience.
