McDonald’s India Operator Westlife Foodworld Reports 62.5% Drop in Q1 Profit

Mumbai: Westlife Foodworld, which runs McDonald’s outlets across West and South India, reported a steep 62.5% decline in its consolidated net profit for the first quarter (April–June) of FY26.

According to the company’s regulatory filing, net profit fell to ₹1.22 crore from ₹3.25 crore in the same period last year.

Despite the drop in profit, revenue from sales rose 6.45% year-on-year to ₹653.25 crore, up from ₹613.64 crore in Q1 of the previous fiscal.

Total income, which includes other earnings, increased by 7% to ₹664.44 crore. However, this growth was offset by a 7.43% rise in total expenses, which climbed to ₹662.78 crore for the quarter.

“The company delivered Same-Store Sales Growth (SSSG) of 0.5%, marking the third consecutive quarter of positive momentum, supported by steady guest counts and average order value,” Westlife Foodworld said in its earnings report.

The company noted that off-premise sales, including delivery and takeaway, contributed 41% of total revenue—consistent with its three-year average.

Additionally, digital channels accounted for 75% of overall revenue, showing a year-on-year growth of over 500 basis points. This was primarily driven by mobile app orders and self-ordering kiosks.

In a separate filing, the company’s board announced an interim dividend of ₹0.75 per share for FY26, based on the Q1 financial performance.

At market close, Westlife Foodworld’s shares ended at ₹772.1 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), rising 1.57% or ₹11.95 from the previous day’s close.
