This has led to the addition of 283 KFC stores as of 31st December (274 stores as of 30th September) to our overall store portfolio. We have witnessed subdued consumer sentiments. However, we believe that the weak consumer sentiment and depressed consumer spending are temporary & short-lived, and we are optimistic about witnessing a recovery over the next few quarters. Amid these challenges, our operating and financial performance has remained stable, and we continue to invest in the business for long-term growth. We had previously set ourselves an ambitious goal of reaching 2,000 stores by 2026. You will be happy to note that, following the completion of the Thailand acquisition, we are confident of achieving this major milestone by the end of calendar year 2024.” Result PDF
