Insider Spotlight

• Jollibee Foods Corp. said sales trends continue to show solid momentum heading into the fourth quarter of 2025

Jollibee Foods Corp. is closing 2025 with steady sales momentum and disciplined execution across its global store network, reinforcing confidence in the group’s growth trajectory as it heads into 2026.

In a press statement dated Dec. 16, 2025, the Jollibee Group said sales performance across markets continues to demonstrate solid momentum, supported by resilient international operations and normalized conditions in its domestic business. The update is consistent with the company’s previously communicated full-year 2025 systemwide sales and same store sales growth guidance.

Why it matters

The update provides fresh confirmation that Jollibee’s diversified geographic footprint is helping sustain growth despite varying market conditions. For investors, steady fourth-quarter momentum and alignment with guidance signal execution discipline as the group balances expansion with profitability.  

Richard Shin

Jollibee's CFO says the group remains committed to disciplined execution of its growth plans.

Fourth-quarter outlook

The company said preliminary internal indicators point to continued momentum in fourth-quarter sales, in line with earlier disclosures. Jollibee added that it expects this performance to extend beyond 2025 as it continues to roll out its long-term growth strategy across key international markets.

Store network progress

Jollibee also reported that store openings across its global portfolio are tracking in line with previously communicated plans. The company attributed this to sustained confidence in consumer demand, disciplined site selection, and continued progress toward a more asset-light growth model.

This approach allows the group to scale its brands while managing capital intensity, particularly as it expands in international markets where franchising and partnerships play a larger role.

What management said

“The underlying fundamentals of the Jollibee Group remain strong,” Richard Shin, Jollibee Group chief financial and risk officer and JFC international CEO, said. "Based on preliminary internal indicators, we are seeing continued sales momentum in the fourth quarter sales, consistent with our previously communicated full-year 2025 systemwide sales and same store sales growth guidance."

"We remain focused on disciplined execution across markets while advancing our long-term growth priorities," he added. 

Big picture

Jollibee operates a portfolio of 19 brands with more than 10,000 stores and cafés across 33 countries, making it one of the world’s fastest-growing restaurant companies. Its latest update underscores management’s confidence that the group’s scale, brand mix, and international exposure can continue to drive growth beyond the current year.   — Daxim L.
