Restaurant Brands International reported October 29 that Burger King’s U.S. comparable sales increased 8.4% in the third quarter, helping lift results across its restaurant portfolio.
Global comparable sales rose 3.8%. System-wide sales grew 6.2% at constant currencies, a measure that includes sales at franchised restaurants and differs from the company’s own revenue.
RBI reported quarterly revenue of $2.525 billion, compared with $2.449 billion a year earlier. Operating income increased to $696 million from $663 million.
Net income from continuing operations was $704 million, or $1.54 per diluted share, compared with $440 million and 96 cents. Adjusted diluted earnings were $1.10 per share, up from $1.03, excluding specified items included in reported earnings.
The performance varied by chain. Tim Hortons’ Canadian comparable sales rose 1.8%, while Popeyes’ U.S. comparable sales fell 2.2%. International comparable sales increased 3.9%.
RBI said it remained on track for 8% organic adjusted operating-income growth in 2026. That is an outlook, rather than a completed annual result.
The company reported returning $1.3 billion through dividends and share repurchases during the year to date.
