SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 8 July 2025 - Jollibee Group (PSE: JFC), one of the world's largest and fastest-growing food service companies, reported robust financial results for the first quarter of 2025, reflecting strong performance both in its Philippine and international markets including continued momentum in key Asian markets such as Singapore, Vietnam, and (West) Malaysia. Jollibee Group Q1 2025 Financial Highlights show strong sales and revenue growth, with systemwide sales up 18.9% and revenue up 14.6% year-on-year. Financial Data Quarter 1 (Unaudited) In PHP Millions Except for Per Share Data % Change 2025 2024 System Wide Sales 103, 197 (US$ 1,757) 86,827 (US $1,478) 18.9 Revenues 70,226 (US$ 1,196) 61,304 (US$ 1,044) 14.6 Operating Income 4,809 (US$ 81.9) 4,091 (US$ 69.7) 17.6 EBITDA 9,776 (US$ 166.5) 8,949 (US$ 152.4) 9.2 Net Income 2,499 (US$ 42.6) 2,704 (US$ 46.0) (7.6) Net Income Attributable to Equity Holders of the Parent Company 2,406 (US$ 41.0) 2,617 (US $ 44.6) (8.1) Earnings Per Share - Basic 2.069 (US$ 0.035) 2.244 (US$ 0.038) (7.8) Earnings Per Share - Diluted 2.062 (US$ 0.035) 2.238 (US$ 0.038) (7.9) For the quarter ending March 31, 2025, the Jollibee Group reported system-wide sales (SWS) of Php 103.2 billion (US$ 1.76 billion), an increase of 18.9% compared to Php 86.8 billion (US$ 1.48 billion) in the same period last year. Consolidated revenues grew by 14.6% year-over-year to Php 70.2 billion (US$ 1.20 billion). This growth was driven by a combination of 5.5% same store sales growth (SSSG), mainly from volume growth and new store contributions. Same-Store Sales Growth (SSSG) in the Philippines rose by 8.5%, led by Mang Inasal (+15.9%), Red Ribbon (+11.1%), Jollibee (+8.6%), and Chowking (+6.2%). This drove an 11.9% increase in system-wide sales in Q1 2025, primarily fueled by higher transaction volumes. International SSSG grew slightly by 0.7%, with strong contributions from Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Australia (EMEAA) at +5.3%, North American operations of Asian brands—such as Jollibee, Chowking, and Red Ribbon—at +4.8%, Highlands Coffee +4.4%, Milksha +3.1%, and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (CBTL) +2.8%. The China business declined by 8.3%, although Yonghe King showed sequential improvement in transaction count. Smashburger also posted an 8.0% decline in SSSG, mainly due to lower transaction volumes. Jollibee Group Global President and CEO Ernesto Tanmantiong commented, "We are pleased with our first quarter performance, particularly the continued growth in international markets such as Singapore, where our brands are gaining deeper resonance with local and regional consumers. We are proud to see our brands thrive in diverse cultural settings affirming our belief in the global appeal of the Jollibee Group portfolio. We are also optimistic about the addition of another strong brand in our portfolio, Tim Ho Wan, which further strengthens our position in one of the world's most dynamic consumer markets and supports our long-term international growth strategy." Jollibee Group's international business saw system-wide sales (SWS) increase by 29.5%. This performance was significantly supported by the acquisition of Compose Coffee, which contributed 17.8% to the international business' SWS growth. The Group's Coffee and Tea segment—now comprising 45.4% of its international SWS—recorded a 62.2% increase, with Compose Coffee accounting for 49% of this growth. Tim Ho Wan, now 100% owned by the Jollibee Group effective 02 January 2025, contributed to the international business' growth in the quarter. Flagship brand Jollibee system-wide sales rose by 13.9% globally, with standout performances in several international markets. The Philippines recorded 13.3% growth, China (Hong Kong and Macau) 12.9%, North America 10.9%, Southeast Asia 27.8%, the Middle East 12.9%, Europe 10.9%, and Guam 20.2%. These results underscore the Jollibee brand's growing global appeal and its positioning to win with consumers across diverse international markets. Singapore alongside other Southeast Asia markets continue to play an important role in the Group's expansion, reflecting increased brand recognition and strong operational performance in the region. Operating income grew by 17.6% to Php 4.8 billion (US$ 81.9 million), despite a 56.2% increase in advertising and promotions aimed at building brand equity and expanding market reach. The corresponding margin improved by 10 basis points due to higher gross profit levels and a modest rise in general and administrative expenses. Net income attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company (NIAT) decreased by 8.1% to Php 2.4 billion (US$ 41.0 million), driven by higher below-the-line items. However, quarter-on-quarter, both operating income and NIAT increased by double digits. The year-over-year NIAT decline was largely due to non-operational factors. Jollibee Group Global Chief Financial and Risk Officer Richard Shin commented, "We delivered strong revenue and operating income growth while investing meaningfully in brand building. Our disciplined execution and solid operational fundamentals helped us expand margins, even with elevated promotional spending. We remain confident in achieving our full-year 2025 guidance." As of March 2025, the Jollibee Group's global store network increased by 44.3% year-over-year to 9,935 stores. This includes 3,393 stores in the Philippines and 6,542 stores internationally, comprising 560 in China, 361 in North America, 393 in EMEAA, 865 with Highlands Coffee primarily in Vietnam, 1,246 with CBTL, 340 with Milksha, 2,700 with Compose Coffee, and 77 with Tim Ho Wan. The Jollibee Group's performance in Q1 2025 reflects its focused execution and the strength of its global portfolio. The continued success in Southeast Asia, including Singapore, supports its ambition to become one of the top five restaurant companies in the world. Corporate Action On the corporate governance front, the Jollibee Group's Board of Directors approved the declaration of a regular cash dividend of Php 1.33 (US$ 0.024) per share of common stock on April 14, 2025. The dividend was released on May 16, 2025, to shareholders of record as of May 2, 2025.

Multifunctional Cooking Sauce Earns Chef Endorsements at Exclusive JW Marriott Tasting EventHONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 2 July 2025 - The culinary world is abuzz with excitement as the innovative EXOTICA UMAMI (fondly referred to by Chinese speakers as "EX M") was unveiled at a high-profile tasting event held at the JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong on 30th June 2025. This groundbreaking multifunctional cooking sauce, created as a modern alternative to salt, soy sauce, and MSG, captivated the palates of top chefs and hospitality professionals with its transformative ability to elevate dishes to extraordinary levels of flavour and texture. A Game-Changer for Chefs and Kitchens Worldwide The versatile new seasoning and cooking sauce has been gaining attention from chefs in the restaurant industry. Invented in Hong Kong by food visionary Dan Gan, the consensus opinion agrees EXOTICA UMAMI makes food more succulent and juicy, while contributing its own distinctly addictive taste. In some cases, the sauce can further tenderize meat and produce for added . The launch event brought together some of Hong Kong's most esteemed culinary talents, including: Cheuk Man Chung, Chinese Executive Chef at New World Millennium Hotel Peter Lim, Executive Sous Chef at New World Millennium Hotel Tony Wong, Executive Chef at JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong Kenneth Loo, renowned star chef and co-host of the event Robert Chua, celebrated food entrepreneur Live Demonstrations: The Taste Tests That Stole the Show The Char Siu test Chef Cheuk prepared two versions of char siu – the classic version and a new recipe simplified with mainly EXOTICA UMAMI 【EX M】to braise the pork before a quick roast. In the taste test, the assembled guests and audience unanimously preferred the samples incorporating [EX M] for seasoning and finishing. They suggested the flavouring liquid gave the char siu more depth in savouriness and umami, as well as making the pork more tender. Discussions concluded the sauce was able to maintain its taste integrity even after braising in high heat, something many other braised or cooking liquid agents cannot do. EXOTICA UMAMI retained its rich, deep flavour, where others began to taste sour after extended time under high heat. The herb and spice in Exotica Umami was also distinctly evident in the char siu giving the roast meat an authentically unique flavour. The Salmon test Chef Lim made two salmon samples using the sous vide method. A chilled fillet was vacuum marinated with just soy sauce, while a frozen (thus less flavourful and more dry) piece of fish was prepared with a EXOTICA UMAMI vacuum marinate and then finished with a brush of EX M as a finishing glaze. The post-tasting comments noted the added umami created a much stronger flavour and made the fish seem fresher even though it was previously frozen. The salmon also appeared more flaky and juicy. The Flank Steak test JW Marriott's chef Wong took on the task of cooking cubes of flank steak, a traditionally tough cut, by pan-frying. He and his assistant first prepared one sample with just salt and pepper on a frying pan, and then on the other sample, he used EXOTICA UMAMI [EX M] to season the beef by drizzling directly onto the meat as it was being pan-fried. In the tasting session, people agreed flank with the natural seasoning can become very chewy, therefore, tougher to consume. However, the EXOTICA UMAMI drizzled beef instantly and noticeably had a more tender texture, along with greater flavour and juiciness. The evidence showed the liquid's remarkable ability to raise the standard of certain meats for a higher quality eating experience. For chefs, this means saving time and costs. EXOTICA UMAMI, as an all-in-one multifunctional cooking sauce and natural type flavour enhancer – with distinct acidic notes and a deep full-bodied umami richness – is ideal for marinating, seasoning, cooking, finishing a dish and taking it to new culinary heights. A Culinary Innovation Rooted in History This innovative sauce was inspired by an ancient Roman recipe but developed and created in Hong Kong at Gan's Exotica Gelatea Restaurant. When his chef quit, Gan the proprietor was forced to take over. In an effort to improve his food, he created this marinate to add directly to his burger while grilling. The result helped earn a place on the "Ranked: the world's best burgers" list by UK platform, Lovefood. To further refine his revolutionary seasoning sauce, Gan put his outlet on pause for the time being. Using a mixture of pork, herb, spice and secret ingredients with time-tested fermenting techniques, Gan started experimenting with his sauce to improve it to complement the requirements for fine dining. Eventually, EXOTICA UMAMI [EX M] was created. A Stamp of Approval from the Industry Made in small batches, the unique sauce has already gained a stamp of approval from the hotel and restaurant industry. With the success of the dishes during the tasting event, New World Millennium Hotel has decided to launch the Exotica Umami Slow Cooked Salmon in La Table and [EX M] Char Siew in Tao Li Chinese Restaurant in addition to some menu items at their other outlets starting from July 1. For chefs, it offers the benefit of producing consistent result, as well as saving time and money while generating more flavour. As a marinate or direct application, in some cases it can also help tenderize meat and produce. Exclusively for Industry Professionals, Now Available for Home Chefs Currently, EXOTICA UMAMI is exclusively available to industry professionals and not actively sold in retail. However, EXOTICA UMAMI can be purchased at the JW Marriott e-shop and will be available at Towngas Cooking Centre in Causeway Bay from 1 July for non industry professionals.
