What's Driving QSR's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown
✓ 21/21 datapoints verifiedAI-extracted from Restaurant Brands International Inc.'s 10-Q filed 2026-08-06 — Q2 FY2026 (quarter ended June 30, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.
RBI grew total revenue 4.6% YoY to $2.52B in Q2 FY2026, but operating income nearly doubled to $716M mostly because of a swing from a $132M FX loss to a $20M FX gain, not core growth.
Biggest Revenue Drivers
Higher Supply chain sales due to increases in commodity prices and CPG net sales
