JOLLIBEE Foods Corp. (JFC) said business conditions have remained broadly consistent, supported by stable customer demand and disciplined expansion across key markets.
In a disclosure on Thursday, the company said preliminary indicators showed that system-wide sales and same-store sales growth remained solid in the fourth quarter, in line with its full-year 2025 guidance.
Demand across major markets was said to be generally stable, with international operations continuing to show resilience and domestic operations posting steady performance amid varying macroeconomic conditions.
The competitive environment was also stable, Jollibee said, supporting the company’s existing strategies.
In the Philippines, Jollibee’s core brands — Jollibee, Chowking and Mang Inasal — continued to contribute to domestic sales growth while Vietnam remained the group’s largest overseas market by store count with high double-digit system-wide sales and same-store sales growth.
The company also reported progress in its Tim Ho Wan brand, noting that operations in Hong Kong had stabilized and returned to profitability, while early customer response to newly opened stores in the United States was encouraging.
Jollibee said store network expansion continued in line with prior disclosures, supported by increased franchise participation.
As part of its infrastructure investments, the group recently inaugurated a new commissary in Danao, Cebu, to support supply chain efficiency and provincial expansion in the Visayas and Mindanao.
“Since our December update, the operating environment and business trends have remained broadly consistent with our prior disclosures,” said Richard Shin, Jollibee Group chief financial and risk officer.
“Customer demand has been stable across key markets, and network expansion continues to be supported by strong franchise engagement, reinforcing our asset-light growth strategy,” he added.
Jollibee said it had not observed any material changes in external conditions beyond previously disclosed risks, including macroeconomic developments, foreign exchange movements and input cost volatility.
JFC shares on Thursday added P0.60, or 0.29 percent, to close at P209. each amid a 1.53-percent rise for the benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange index.
