Jollibee Foods Corporation has reported record operating income and double-digit global growth, as the fast-growing Asian quick-service restaurant giant accelerates its international expansion and franchise-led strategy.
The company posted record fourth-quarter operating income of PHP 4.1 billion (approx. US$70 million), up 41.9% year-on-year. For the full year, operating income rose 19.3% to PHP 20.1 billion, while system-wide sales grew 16.6%, reflecting strong consumer demand across markets.
International operations continued to outperform, delivering 27% system-wide sales growth, driven by expansion across North America, Vietnam, the Middle East and other key regions. North America remained a standout market, with same-store sales growth exceeding 10%, while Vietnam retained its position as one of the group’s largest overseas markets by store count.
Jollibee’s diversified portfolio also contributed to performance, with its coffee and tea segment growing 44.9%, led by brands such as The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and Tim Ho Wan.
The company opened 1,126 stores in 2025, the highest in its history, and plans to add 1,200 to 1,300 new outlets in 2026, as it scales its global footprint through a mix of company-owned and franchise locations.
Ernesto Tanmantiong, Chief Executive Officer, Jollibee Foods Corporation, said: “We finished the year with record fourth quarter operating income, reflecting strong sales momentum and improved operating leverage.” He added: “We remain focused on profitable growth, operational excellence, and consistent value creation as we expand further into international markets.”
With operations spanning more than 30 countries, Jollibee is increasingly positioning itself as a global franchise powerhouse, with international business expected to contribute a larger share of revenues in the coming years.
