Westlife Foodworld Ltd Chairman Speech

We ended the fiscal with several significant milestones and record-breaking performances.

Overview

I would like to begin with a quote by Robin Sharma - 'Starting Strong is Good. Finishing Strong is Epic.' It gives me pleasure and confidence to share that FY 22-23 was an epic year for us. We ended the fiscal with several milestones and record-breaking performances. Our execution excellence strategy, which focused on menu, meals, and branding, generated growth and strengthened our brand, establishing a new baseline to build on.

We reported record-breaking revenue of H22.7 bn, up 44% from the previous year. This was substantially higher than India's economy and the QSR sector, showing your brand's irreplaceable appeal. Store openings hit an alltime high, and same-store sales growth stood at 36%. The company's commitment to capital efficiency grew with its revenue, yielding an Operating EBITDA margin of 17.3% (up 300 bps). Cash PAT increased 97% to H2.5 bn, and Cash PAT margin improved by 11.2%. Restaurant Operating Margin also grew 400 bps to 23.2%.

Growth across the board

We sustained this momentum across the board, even in a year of unprecedented inflation, demonstrating our consistent ability to provide a superior customer proposition. Our increasing sales validated the success of our brick-and-clicks multichannel multi-day part strategy, which gave customers more occasions and choices to experience us. We improved margins through utilities, robust supply chain, and increased productivity. Our consistent focus on the right network and economics, cost management, profitability, and quality service across the customer journey led to a robust debt-free business model and enhanced stakeholder trust.

Our compelling value proposition and modernised restaurants delivered unforgettable customer experiences, propelling our performance. We strengthened our technology platforms further with the launch of our new McDelivery app, offering an unmatched user experience and a capacity to manage significant order volumes. The launch of the global favourite Chicken Big Mac in India, along with other launches, bolstered our menu offerings. Simultaneously, we augmented our brand positioning around 'meals and family' through several brand campaigns. These measures led to the three pillars - burger meals, chicken, and McCafe - delivering outstanding outcomes.

We continued to invest in our people through training and development interventions, upholding a strong culture of learning, agility, and performance. We set up a strong leadership team with the appointment of Saurabh Kalra as the Managing Director, Saurabh Bhudolia as CFO, Rohit Kumar as CHRO, and Sohel Nalwalla as Supply Chain Head to steer the company's roadmap, strengthening our market dominance and set new benchmarks. Our people efforts were recognised with the prestigious 'Great Place to Work' Laureate Award for being in the top 100 list for 10 consecutive years.

Building the future with Vision 2027

We created a bold vision for ourselves in FY 22-23, setting a roadmap for the next five years under the aegis of Vision 2027. With this strategy, we seek to double sales and add about 300 restaurants in the next five years, while fortifying market leadership and delivering a return on capital of over 40%. With an investment of over H14+ bn in the network, we expect this expansion to deliver a high single-digit SSSG, 18-20% operating EBITDA margin, over 40% return on capital employed, over 25% plus return on equity, and over 60% plus free cash flow conversion. We aim to drive this strategically through our most potent business drivers - meals, omnichannel customer engagement, network expansion and financial outperformance. Our meal strategy will focus on protecting market leadership through menu innovation and marketing. To improve seamlessness of the customer experience, our omnichannel strategy will integrate channels and touchpoints into a single McDonald's platform. Additionally, as a part of our commitment to accelerate network expansion, the business will strengthen its position in existing markets and expand into underserved niches. These initiatives will not only improve our business performance but also help realise this vision.

Pursuing purpose-driven growth

The concept of purpose-driven growth, which upholds inclusivity sustainability, reflective of changing employee and stakeholder needs, serves as the foundation of our growth strategy. We are focused on priorities that influence long-term growth and priorities that enable us to expand our purpose of feeding and fostering communities.

In addition to delivering accelerated business results and building a resilient growth business, our priorities include social responsibility, risk management,

and sustainable stewardship of our People, Food and Planet. To accomplish this, we are constantly integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) priorities into our business strategy and implementing responsible practices that are consistent with our purpose, vision, and values.

What lies ahead

As an organisation, we made remarkable progress across our strategic growth levers, which included driving profitable growth, increasing wallet share, exploring whitespace opportunities, expanding our geographic footprint, and increasing market penetration. I believe we are on a strong growth trajectory and will continue to build on our competitive strengths and widen our business advantage.

Vision 2027, our velocity growth plan, provides us with a consistent framework, and we are geared up to make sure our go-forward strategy also reflects the new operating environment and consistent support from well-wishers like you. We are ready to address the opportunities of the future through the institutionalisation of this vision and are committed to aggressive footprint expansion, modernising restaurants, and unlocking new growth prospects. We will consistently drive innovations in our menu, and efficiencies in our operations leading to enhanced profitability.

We wrapped FY 22-23 with outstanding performance. We are energised and confident about accelerating our growth in FY 23-24 to deliver an industry-leading performance and maximise shareholder value. As I say, the best is yet to be.

In closing, I would like to thank our shareholders, for your continued investment, our customers for your continued support and enjoyment, and the entire Westlife Foodworld team for all you do every day to serve customers and communities across West and South India.
