Outlook and guidance
FY2026 restaurant development outlook was reduced to 1%-2% growth from 2%-3%, due to construction delays and challenges sourcing qualified franchisees.
The Royalty Pool added 20 net restaurants on Jan. 1, 2026, to reach 814; it was expected to remain unchanged through 2026, with Q4 openings on track to support the revised outlook.
Future dividends are expected to be funded by operating cash flow and the reserve; any further dividend change is intended to preserve consistent monthly distributions.
