BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nArcos Dorados Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ARCO) (\u201cArcos Dorados\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), the world\u2019s largest independent McDonald\u2019s franchisee, operating the largest quick service restaurant chain in Latin America and the Caribbean, today reported unaudited results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.<\/p>\nMessage from Luis Raganato, Chief Executive Officer<\/b><\/p>\n
\nDuring the third quarter of 2025, we successfully navigated challenging consumer dynamics to generate balanced US dollar revenue growth and solid profitability. We are focused on exceeding guests\u2019 expectations in today\u2019s business while modernizing and improving our growth processes to support higher returns on investment and to ensure Arcos Dorados maintains its leadership position for many years to come.<\/p>\n
\nTotal revenue reached $1.2 billion, with balanced US dollar growth across the three divisions. Systemwide comparable sales rose 12.7%, in-line with the Company\u2019s blended inflation for the period. Growth was particularly strong in SLAD and NOLAD, led by Argentina and Mexico, respectively.<\/p>\n
\nMarketing and Digital have been an important differentiator for the McDonald\u2019s brand throughout the Arcos Dorados footprint. This important competitive advantage has allowed us to protect, or expand, market share in the countries where we operate, almost without exception. We believe this will help sustain strong performance as the operating environment normalizes and economic conditions improve.<\/p>\n
\nWe produced $201.1 million in Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter, including the net impact of a federal tax credit in Brazil. In the underlying business, we generated efficiencies in Payroll and Occupancy and other operating expenses, and we will leave no stone unturned to identify and capture additional efficiencies this year and into the future.<\/p>\n
\nWe opened 22 restaurants in the third quarter of 2025, 19 of which were free-standing locations. At the end of the quarter, 72% of restaurants in our footprint welcomed guests with our most modernized and compelling experience.<\/p>\n
\nWe are pushing to have a solid finish to 2025, while positioning ourselves for a stronger performance next year, targeting sustainable topline growth and improved operational efficiency to drive profitability, generate free cash flow and create shareholder value.<\/p>\n
