"In the first quarter of 2013, we experienced solid revenue growth and a substantial increase in profitability. This growth primarily derived from higher revenues from own-operated stores, particularly at our Pizza Hut and KFC restaurants. Same-store sales followed the same trend, where we experienced solid increases among our KFC and Pizza Hut brands," said Mr. Ricardo Bomeny, President and CEO of Brazil Fast Food.
"Same-store sales were slightly lower at our Bob's restaurants due to a long period of inclement weather and a more competitive business environment; however this was partially offset by an increase in the number of franchised points of sale. Same-store sales at our KFC restaurants benefited from actions we took to boost evening and afternoon sales in addition to an increase in points of sale, and Pizza Hut sales responded well to radio and Internet promotions, the introduction of a new take-out system at selected restaurants, and the number of Pizza Hut points of sale increased as well."
