Restaurant Brands International Inc. reported Wednesday financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
The company said system-wide sales grew by 6.2% compared with last year.
“We delivered a strong start to the year, converting solid topline results into double-digit earnings growth while returning capital to shareholders through the resumption of share repurchases and our growing dividend. Tim Hortons and International each delivered their 20th consecutive quarter of positive comparable sales. And at Burger King, our results reflect several years of hard work by our franchisees and teams to elevate the guest experience, driving stronger engagement and clear outperformance. We’re executing against the plan we laid out during our Investor Day in February and remain confident in the path ahead,” said Josh Kobza, Chief Executive Officer of RBI.
The company said system-wide sales reached $347 million US in the quarter, up from $322 million US for the same period a year ago.
Restaurant Brands International Inc. is one of the world’s largest quick service restaurant companies with nearly $48 billion in annual system-wide sales and roughly 33,000 restaurants in more than 120 countries and territories. RBI owns four of the world’s most prominent and iconic quick service restaurant brands – Tim Hortons, Burger King, Popeyes and Firehouse Subs.
