In the United States, the company’s flagship brand, Jollibee, continued its rapid expansion, strengthening its presence in key metropolitan areas and driving brand affinity among both Filipino-American communities and mainstream consumers. The brand also celebrated a milestone as its flagship product, Jollibee Chickenjoy fried chicken, was ranked #1 on USA Today’s 10Best Fast Food Fried Chicken list for the second consecutive year.
Jollibee Group Chief Executive Officer, Ernesto Tanmantiong gave the following statement on the Jollibee Group’s performance for the second quarter:
“The Jollibee Group delivered strong financial results for the second quarter, with both revenue and profit growth accelerating compared to the first quarter – reflecting our continued business momentum and improved operational execution.
In the U.S. market, Jollibee Chickenjoy and our Coffee and Tea portfolio remain powerful growth drivers, building brand love among diverse consumer groups. Smashburger also continues its path toward stronger performance through operational enhancements, franchising, and menu innovation.
On a year-on-year basis, our consolidated revenues rose by 15.5%, driving a 19.1% growth in operating income. This growth reflects the strength of our Coffee and Tea segment and sustained contributions from Jollibee International, which includes North America, underscoring the effectiveness of our multi-brand and muti-market strategy.
The Jollibee Group achieved a record-high system-wide sales (SWS) of Php114.5 billion (approximately US$2.035 billion) for the quarter, marking a 19.6% increase year-on-year. Our international business delivered a robust 32.6% growth in SWS, fueled by a 68.8% surge in the Coffee and Tea segment, largely driven by Compose Coffee which accounted for 56.6% of the growth. Jollibee international continued its strong momentum, with SWS increasing by 15.4% versus the same quarter last year.
I am pleased to share that our Jollibee Chickenjoy has once again secured the #1 spot in USA Today’s 10Best Fast Food Fried Chicken list for the second consecutive year—a milestone that reflects our growing brand love and the passion of our teams in the U.S. and around the world.
My sincere thanks to our teams for their unwavering commitment and exceptional effort. I look forward to building on this momentum as we continue to pursue excellence across all markets.”

Jollibee Group Chief Financial and Risk Officer, Richard Shin gave the following statement:
“Our strong operating results this quarter reflect not only the positive impact of our strategic acquisition but also the underlying resilience of our business. Disciplined execution of both our cost optimization initiatives and portfolio innovation efforts helped stimulate growth and profitability. The expansion in operating margin and earnings underscores the effectiveness of our strategy.
I am particularly pleased with the successful expansion of our international business, which is now making a meaningful contribution to the overall performance.
- Jollibee international is delivering strong growth despite softness in the broader US market.
- The Coffee and Tea segment continues its upward trajectory, emerging as one of the fastest-growing segments. Expansion across key geographies is driving incremental revenue and margin enhancement.
- Compose Coffee is set to surpass 3,000 stores and remains on track to deliver a 36% Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) in 2025, demonstrating the value-creating potential of this acquisition.
- Smashburger has a clearly defined path toward improving financial performance, supported by operational improvements, product innovations and conversion of company-owned stores to franchised stores.
- China is showing early signs of recovery, marking a potential turnaround in performance.
Our strategic shift toward franchising, combined with disciplined capital allocation, is enhancing asset efficiency and ROIC. Today 69% of our stores operate under a franchised model, reflecting our ongoing transition to a more capital-light structure.
We also continue to deploy capital expenditures selectively, with a focus on supporting the growth in the U.S., Philippines, Jollibee international and coffee and tea brands. This balanced approach ensures that our investments are aligned with both strategic priorities and return objectives.
We remain confident in our direction and capabilities, and we are reaffirming our full-year guidance.”
At the end of June 2025, the Jollibee Group’s store network increased by 45.5% to 10,119 compared to a year ago: Philippines (3,424) and International (6,695) – 547 in China, 357 in North America, 400 in EMEA, 896 with Highlands Coffee mainly in Vietnam, 1,261 with CBTL, 346 with Milksha, 2,809 with Compose Coffee, and 79 with Tim Ho Wan.

The Reality of the Raya Rush
The lead-up to Raya is a whirlwind of grocery runs, deep cleaning, and late nights in the kitchen. By the time the first open house begins, most women have already put in an incredible amount of effort for their families. The quiet moments in between are not just a break. They are earned.
XIXILI’s pajamas are made for those moments. Easy to move in, soft enough to wear through the night, and the kind of pieces that make coming home feel like something to look forward to. Designed to fit a wide range of body types, every woman can find something that feels as good as it looks.
“Raya is everything. The food, the family, the laughter. And at the end of it all, she deserves to rest just as well as she celebrated,” says Tara Tan, Marketing Director at XIXILI.
Comfort That Carries Through the Season
Raya may bring the occasion, but the shift happening in Malaysian wardrobes goes further than that. Women are increasingly treating sleepwear as a considered part of their self-care, not just something to change into before bed.
“We often talk about the joy of gathering, but we rarely talk about the exhaustion that comes with it,” Tara Tan adds. “Our goal for Raya 2026 is to ensure that when the last guest leaves, every woman has a high-quality piece of loungewear to retreat into. It is about honouring the work she does by giving her the rest she deserves.”
Quality loungewear for the wind-down, the slow morning, and every quiet moment in between has become one of the most considered purchases a woman makes this season.
Made to Be Worn, Not Just Owned
Good sleepwear should not sit tucked away at the back of a drawer. It should be the first thing she reaches for at the end of a long day, worn in and looked forward to. XIXILI’s range is built for exactly that, styles that settle naturally into her routine and carry her well beyond the festive season.
The full sleepwear collection is available online and at XIXILI boutiques nationwide. To shop the range, visit www.xixili-intimates.com.Hashtag: #XIXILI

In line with VinFast’s pioneering spirit, GSM Green and Smart Mobility Joint Stock Company has also announced an immediate 10% reduction in fares for electric mobility services on the Xanh SM platform in Vietnam and Green SM in Indonesia from March 11 to March 31, 2026. This initiative offers customers a more environmentally-friendly and cost-effective transportation option.
The program may be extended depending on international developments and future fuel price movements.
Ms. Duong Thi Thu Trang, Deputy CEO of Global Sales, VinFast, stated: “The special ‘Trade Gas for Electric’ program launched in March across four key markets is VinFast’s timely response to geopolitical volatility that is affecting socio-economic conditions in many countries around the world. As one of the pioneering manufacturers leading the global electric vehicle revolution, VinFast together with companies in Vingroup’s green ecosystem aims to help reduce the impact of fuel prices on people’s daily lives while also lowering environmental pollution through smarter, more sustainable, and more cost-efficient mobility solutions.”
The special “Trade Gas for Electric” program will be implemented in parallel with and combined with other available incentive programs in each market. Through layered incentives, Vingroup and companies within its ecosystem aim to create favorable conditions for customers to transition quickly to electric vehicles, reduce dependence on gasoline, stabilize daily life, and contribute to building a cleaner and more civilized living environment.
