The Wendy’s Company, a prominent player in the fast-food industry, is known for its fresh, made-to-order hamburgers and a variety of other menu items, operating over 7,000 restaurants worldwide. In its latest earnings report for the second quarter of 2025, Wendy’s highlighted a global systemwide sales figure of $3.7 billion, marking a slight decline of 1.8%. However, the company saw a promising 8.7% growth in international sales, indicating strong performance outside the U.S.
Key financial metrics from the report include a 7.4% increase in both reported and adjusted earnings per share, reaching $0.29. The company also returned $88.7 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, demonstrating a commitment to shareholder value. Despite a decrease in total revenues by 1.7%, Wendy’s managed to increase its operating profit by 4.8% due to reduced advertising spend and lower administrative costs.
Wendy’s continues to expand its global presence, adding 26 net new restaurants in the quarter, with a total of 118 new additions in the first half of the year. The company remains on track to achieve its full-year net unit growth target. However, challenges remain in the U.S. market, where same-restaurant sales have declined, prompting a focus on improving franchisee relationships and marketing effectiveness.
Looking ahead, Wendy’s management is optimistic about international growth opportunities and is focused on enhancing customer experience and operational efficiency in the U.S. The company has adjusted its full-year outlook, now expecting global systemwide sales growth to decline between 3.0% and 5.0%, with adjusted earnings per share projected between $0.82 and $0.89.
