Performance of the Earnings Report

On December 29, 2024, Pizza Hut (PZZA) had a total operating revenue of $531 million. Although there is no prior data to directly calculate the year-on-year change rate, we can speculate on the change in its operating revenue by analyzing factors such as market demand, store expansion, and promotional activities.

Key Data in the Earnings Report

1. Pizza Hut's operating revenue as of September 29, 2024 was $1.529 billion, a 2.29% decrease year-on-year (previously $1.564 billion).

2. The cumulative revenue for the first six months of 2024 was $10.22 billion, a 1.90% decrease year-on-year (previously $10.42 billion).

3. The company plans to expand its global footprint by 2.1% in 2024, with 124 new stores, including 81 in North America and 43 in international markets.

Peer Comparison

1. Industry-wide analysis: The takeaway and fast-food industry experienced significant growth after the pandemic, with changes in consumer consumption habits. The takeaway market is expected to continue growing, driving the overall industry's operating revenue. The size of the catering takeaway industry in 2024 is estimated to be about RMB1.67 trillion, up 11% year-on-year.

2. Peer evaluation analysis: The operating revenue performance of Pizza Hut needs to be analyzed in conjunction with the growth of the same industry. If Domino's Pizza's operating revenue is also growing, it may indicate the overall industry recovery; conversely, if competitors perform poorly, Pizza Hut may gain a larger market share.

Summary

Pizza Hut's operating revenue in 2024 shows a certain downward trend, but the company may bring revenue growth in the future through store expansion and successful promotional activities (such as "Pizza Deal"). Despite the promising industry outlook, the company's market performance still needs close attention.
