The parent of Burger King, Tim Hortons, and Popeyes posted adjusted diluted EPS of $0.94, missing the $0.97 consensus estimate by 2.84%, even as total revenue climbed 15.9% year-over-year to $2.41 billion, ahead of the $2.34 billion Wall Street had expected. The top-line strength was driven largely by higher supply chain sales tied to commodity price increases and broad system-wide sales growth of 5.3%, though the adjusted earnings gain of 9.2% was tempered by rising company restaurant expenses connected to the 2024 Carrols acquisition. Segment performance was uneven; Tim Hortons led with 3.9% system-wide sales growth and comparable sales of 3.4%, while Popeyes lagged with negative 1.4% comparable sales. Notably, both Burger King and Tim Hortons reached their highest customer satisfaction scores in years, a signal management is leaning on as it reaffirms its 2025 guidance for organic adjusted operating income growth of at least 8%.

Key Takeaways

  • Consolidated comparable sales accelerated to 2.4%, up from 1.9% in Q2 2024
  • Tim Hortons Canada comparable sales of 3.6% and Burger King International comparable sales of 4.1%
  • International system-wide sales growth of 9.8%
  • Higher supply chain sales from increased commodity prices and system-wide sales growth
  • Lower compensation-related G&A expenses across multiple segments
  • Non-recurrence of Fuel the Flame expenses in Burger King US segment
  • Higher advertising fund contribution rate at Burger King US
