What's Driving QSR's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown

21/21 datapoints verified

AI-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

Tim Hortons (TH)$1,137M+5.0% YoY

Higher Supply chain sales due to increases in commodity prices and CPG net sales

Restaurant Holdings (RH)$506M+7.9% YoY

Increase in BK US comparable sales and higher PLK China restaurant count, partly offset by BK US refranchisings
