The earnings call highlighted strong digital sales growth, positive performance in SLAD, and a robust market position in Brazil. However, these positives were offset by flat revenue, declining EBITDA, and margin pressures in Brazil due to rising costs and currency depreciation.
Company Guidance
In the first quarter of 2025, Arcos Dorados reported total revenue of $1.1 billion, maintaining the same level as the previous year despite facing challenges such as lower QSR industry guest volumes, negative calendar comparisons, and currency depreciation. The company managed to achieve 11.1% higher system-wide compatible sales, in line with blended inflation, and reported a consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $91.3 million, which was down from the previous year due to weaker local currencies and margin pressure in Brazil. Digital sales contributed significantly, with a 6.3% increase, driven by almost 19 million monthly average mobile app users, and digital channels accounted for nearly 60% of system-wide sales. The Loyalty Program boasted 18.8 million registered members across five markets. Arcos Dorados remained focused on providing an omnichannel experience, with off-premise channels generating about 43% of total system-wide sales. Looking forward, the company aims to leverage its diverse sales channels, modernized restaurant base, and strong brand to navigate market challenges and improve profitability, expecting margins to stabilize and potentially improve as the year progresses.
