The news: KFC operator Collins Foods has reported a 281% jump in statutory net profit after tax for FY26, after delivering record annual revenue.
The numbers: Collins Foods posted statutory NPAT of $47.1 million, up from $12.4 million in FY25. Revenue rose 8.6% year-on-year to $1.6 billion.
The company declared a final dividend of 15 cents per share, taking total dividends to 28 cents per share for FY26, up from 26 cents last year.
The context: Collins Foods announced in March an exit from its Taco Bell franchise, to focus on expanding the KFC brand in Australia and Europe.
What they said: “In FY26, we set clear priorities: driving profitable same store sales growth and network expansion in Australia and Germany, improving profitability in the Netherlands, transitioning out of Taco Bell, and strengthening restaurant execution to deliver a better customer experience,” Collins Foods CEO Xavier Simonet said.
“We delivered strong performance against all these priorities despite an uncertain macro and geopolitical environment.”
