Jollibee Foods Corp. said sales momentum across its global network remains firm, with resilient international markets and normalized domestic operations keeping performance in line with its full-year 2025 guidance.
In a business update, the fast-food giant said preliminary indicators point to sustained strength in fourth-quarter sales, reinforcing earlier disclosures and highlighting steady execution across markets. The group expects this momentum to extend beyond 2025 as it continues to roll out its long-term growth strategy.
International operations remain a key growth engine, helping cushion market volatility and underscoring the value of Jollibee’s diversified global footprint. At home, operations have largely stabilized, allowing the company to shift its focus from recovery to expansion.
In the third quarter, with systemwide sales was up 20 percent and same-store sales rising 12 percent, driven in part by overseas operations that now contribute 40 percent of cash margins. Jollibee has kept its full-year guidance unchanged and expects the fourth quarter to be its strongest, as it pushes ahead with plans to open 700 to 800 new stores and deliver 8 to 12 percent systemwide sales growth this year.
Jollibee also reported solid progress in growing its store network, with openings tracking in line with previously announced targets. Management said the steady rollout reflects confidence in consumer demand, disciplined site selection, and the group’s continued pivot toward a more asset-light growth model to improve returns on capital.
“The underlying fundamentals of the Jollibee Group remain strong,” said Richard Shin, chief financial and risk officer and chief executive officer of JFC International. “Preliminary internal indicators show continued fourth-quarter sales momentum, consistent with our full-year 2025 systemwide sales and same-store sales growth guidance.”
Shin added that the group remains focused on disciplined execution across markets while pushing forward long-term priorities, including scaling core brands, sharpening operational efficiencies, and accelerating growth in high-potential regions.
Jollibee Foods Corp., listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange under the ticker JFC, is among the world’s fastest-growing restaurant companies. It operates a portfolio of 19 brands with more than 10,000 stores and cafés across 33 countries.
With sales holding strong and expansion plans firmly on track, Jollibee is positioning itself to close 2025 on solid footing while building momentum for the years ahead.
