Metro Manila, Philippines, August 10, 2021 – Jollibee Foods Corporation (PSE: JFC) – Financial
Results for the Second Quarter and First Semester Ended June 30, 2021
Following are the highlights of the financial results of operations of Jollibee Foods Corporation
(JFC) and its subsidiaries for the second quarter and first semester ended June 30, 2021, based on its
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements:
Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC), one of Asia’s largest food service companies disclosed today
that its system wide sales, a measure of all sales to consumers, both from company-owned and
franchised stores increased by 64.7% to Php50.5 billion in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the
same quarter last year when the Covid-19 pandemic brought its most adverse impact on the business.
Revenues grew by 57.2%.
Same store sales in the Philippine business increased by 48.0% in the second quarter of 2021
compared to the same quarter last year while the international business grew by 28.4%. China achieved
a growth of 48.0%, North America 27.7%, Europe/Middle East/other parts of Asia 21.2%, The Coffee
Bean & Tea Leaf 27.9%, SuperFoods, mostly in Vietnam -8.1% for a worldwide same store sales
growth of 38.4% versus Q2 of 2020.
Compared with pre-pandemic levels, total system-wide sales and revenues in Q2 2021 were
lower by 15% and 16%, respectively versus Q2 2019. However, operating income and net income
attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company were lower only by 9.7% and 6.2%, respectively
while EBITDA was higher by 13.4%. Gross profit margins, operating margins, general and
administrative expense percent to revenues, EBITDA margins and net income margins were higher than
pre-pandemic levels. The improvement in profitability ratios was driven by the growing contribution
of foreign business to total sales, the higher contribution of the coffee business to the business portfolio,
the increasing contribution of franchise stores versus company stores and the cost improvement brought
by the Business Transformation implemented in 2020. Generally, gross profit margins are higher in
foreign business than those in the Philippines specially in the coffee business while franchise store
operations can generate higher productivity. In terms of business units, versus Q2 2019, Smashburger
generated much lower losses in 2021 while Red Ribbon in the Philippines achieved a turn-around from
significant losses in Q2 2019 resulting from the start-up of its new commissary, to delivering profit in
Q2 2021.
The impact of the pandemic on JFC’s businesses around the world in Q2 2021 was mixed. Sales
in the United States continued to improve with sales per store already reaching well above pre-pandemic
levels. In the southern part of China, sales growth slowed due to the reimposition of government
restrictions while sales in the eastern and northern regions continued to grow above pre-pandemic
levels. Sales growth reversed in Southeast Asia particularly those in Vietnam, Philippines, Singapore
and Malaysia while those in the Middle East and Europe continued to improve. Off-premise sales which
include those from delivery, take-out and drive-through channels continued to help drive sales growth
in both the Philippines and international markets.
Total assets declined by Php5.9 billion or -2.8% from its balance at the beginning of the year
mainly due to the redemption of Php5.9 billion of its financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
(financial assets) which were used primarily to reduce Php3.3 billion of debts and Php2.6 billion of
other liabilities. JFC has been gradually reducing its financial assets and its debts as the business
gradually recovers from the adverse impact of the pandemic. Its financial assets originally amounting
to Php37.9 billion were set up primarily as a contingency measure against adverse and unforeseen
impact of a prolonged pandemic. The financial assets amounted to Php30.6 billion as at June 30, 2021.
The JFC Group opened 164 new stores in the first semester: 29 in the Philippines, 38 in China,
15 in North America and 9 in EMEAA. SuperFoods and CBTL opened 26 and 47 stores, respectively.
A total of 172 stores were permanently closed during the quarter: 54 in the Philippines and 118 abroad.
JFC is one of Asia’s largest food service companies with 17 brands operating in 33 countries
with a total store network of 5,816 outlets as of June 30, 2021, of which 3,192 were in the Philippines
and 2,624 were abroad. Its largest brands in terms of number of restaurant outlets were Jollibee with
