Chintan Jajal: Thank you, Nirav. Good evening, everyone, and thank you for joining us on Westlife
Foodworld's Earnings Conference Call for the first quarter ended 30th June 2026. I am
Chintan, Head IR at Westlife Food World.
From the management team, I have with me Mr. Akshay Jatia, President and CEO; Mr.
Saurabh Kalra, Managing Director; and Mr. Shardul Doshi, Chief Financial Officer.
As always, we will begin today's session with Akshay sharing his perspective on
company's overall strategy and outlook. This will be followed by Saurabh taking us
through the key operational and financial highlights. We will then open the forum for
question-and-answer session. Throughout the call, we will refer to our earnings
presentation and financial releases, which are available on the NSE BSE website as
well as the Investors section of our website.
With that, I now request Akshay to commence the session. Thank you, and over to
you, Akshay.
Akshay Jatia: Hello, and a very good evening to everyone. Thank you for joining us today, and I hope
you have had the opportunity to review our Q1 FY27 results. Q1 FY27 marks our
strongest topline growth, highest same-store sales growth and fastest guest count
growth in the recent past. Most importantly, every one of those numbers is being led
by more people walking into McDonald's more often.

We delivered healthy double-digit topline growth, positive same-store sales growth
in each of the three months and robust double-digit footfall-led momentum across
our markets. May and June were particularly strong with mid-single-digit SSSG. And
encouragingly, we are carrying that exit velocity into July as well.
Our focus remains firmly on driving sustainable volume-led growth through our value
platform and operational excellence. The everyday value meal continues to see strong
traction and remains a key driver of dine-in footfalls. We have always believed that
McDonald's wins when our value proposition is trusted, predictable and habit
forming, and that is exactly what we are building.
This building footfall momentum reinforces our conviction that our strategy is
working. We are acquiring more consumers, driving repeat visits and strengthening
McDonald's' relevance across everyday consumption occasions. I'm also pleased with
the progress we are seeing in the South.
In Q1 last year, we had highlighted our efforts on strengthening execution in the
region and that the agenda has steadily moved from intent to impact. Our work
around on-ground execution, including local consumer relevance and network
expansion is now beginning to reflect in the outcomes.
The South ended the quarter with positive same-store sales growth, a meaningful
improvement that gives us confidence in the region's potential. On operations, we
continue to take strategic steps to get closer to the consumer.
As part of this, we are realigning our operating structure from three divisions to five,
building a sharper and more agile organization that is closer to every market that
enables faster observation and action and is better placed to scale as we grow.
Alongside this, we are empowering teams with better data and sharper decision-
making tools, and reinforcing the disciplines that matter most: quality, service,
cleanliness and value. These are the building blocks that convert footfall momentum
into repeat visits, and repeat visits into long-term consumer trust.
During the quarter, we also continued to strengthen brand relevance and stay top of
mind with consumers. As many of you would have seen, we launched our new brand
campaign anthem, Let's Family at McDonald's, celebrating McDonald's' 30th year in
India. The campaign defines family beyond traditional boundaries and celebrates

everyday McDonald's moments that we share with our different families, including
friends, colleagues and communities.
As we look ahead, we remain committed to being a place where everyone feels that
they belong and where many more memories will continue to be made. India eating
out market continues to offer significant headroom. And with our strong brand, our
modernized restaurant network, our digital capabilities and disciplined execution, we
are well-positioned to capture this opportunity and scale the business meaningfully
over time.
I'm also pleased to share that our Board of Directors has approved an interim dividend
of INR 0.40 per equity share, underscoring our commitment to creating value for
shareholders.
We are on track to open over 60 new restaurants in FY27, in line with our guidance.
On that note, I'm delighted to share that we have also received the Global Breaking
Ground Development Award from McDonald's Corporation. This award recognizes
development excellence in our network expansion journey and is a global award given
to a developmental excellence market.
To sum it up, last quarter has been an inflection point. Our on-ground execution
excellence is helping us deliver strong momentum, which we believe will continue to
play out. We are confident about the future and the road ahead.
Thank you for your continued trust and support. I will now hand it over to Saurabh to
take you through the operational and financial highlights for the quarter.
Saurabh Kalra: Thank you, Akshay, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Our patience and
