Restaurant Brands International Inc. reported on Thursday its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026 as consolidated System-wide sales grew 6.2% year-over-year, including 9.0% in International. Net revenue rose to $2.53 billion in the quarter compared with $2.44 billion a year ago.

“At our Investor Day earlier this year, we highlighted what makes RBI a strong business – four iconic global brands, the ability to invest for long-term growth, and talented teams and franchisees around the world. Those strengths are on display again this quarter, with over 3% global comparable sales led by outperformance at Burger King and steady growth at International and Tim Hortons. I’m proud of what we’re accomplishing together. Across our brands, we’re continuing to listen to our guests and act on their feedback to deliver the quality, service, and convenience they expect every day,” said Josh Kobza, Chief Executive Officer of RBI.
“For the third quarter, the increase in Total revenues was driven by higher Supply chain sales primarily due to increases in equipment sales to franchisees and commodity prices. The increase in Total revenues was also driven by increased System-wide Sales,” said the company.
The company saw net restaurant growth of 3% to 33,401 at the end of the quarter.
