Jollibee Foods Corp. said Thursday it sustained solid operating momentum in the fourth quarter of 2025, with system-wide sales and same-store sales growth tracking in line with its full-year guidance.
In a disclosure to the stock exchange, the homegrown fast-food giant said preliminary indicators show steady fourth-quarter performance across both domestic and interna-tional markets.
“Customer demand has been stable across key markets, and network expansion con-tinues to be supported by strong franchise engagement, reinforcing our asset-light growth strategy,” said Richard Shin, Jollibee chief finance officer and Jollibee Interna-tional chief executive.
The company’s domestic business continued to drive system-wide sales and same-store sales growth, fueled by improving demand and seasonal year-end spending. These factors helped offset a more challenging macroeconomic environment, the company said.
International operations remained resilient during the quarter, led by Vietnam, which is the group’s largest overseas market by store count. System-wide sales and same-store sales growth in Vietnam maintained a high double-digit trajectory in the fourth quarter, outperforming peers.
The Tim Ho Wan brand also showed progress, with store operations in Hong Kong sta-bilizing and returning to profitability. Newly opened locations in the United States gen-erated encouraging early customer response.
Jollibee said the group remains focused on productivity initiatives, pricing discipline and cost management, with margin-supporting measures gaining traction in its interna-tional operations. However, the company continues to monitor macroeconomic condi-tions, foreign exchange movements and input cost volatility.
For 2025, the group previously projected 8 percent to 12 percent growth in system-wide sales and 4 percent to 6 percent growth in same-store sales. The store network is ex-pected to grow by 4 percent to 8 percent, while operating profit growth is targeted to in-crease by 10 percent to 15 percent this year.
