Revenue fell to $5.872 billion from $6.201 billion a year ago. The FactSet consensus was for EPS of $2.58 and revenue of $5.700 billion. Same-restaurant sales rose 9.5%, ahead of the 5.8% FactSet consensus. U.S. same-restaurant sales rose 6.1%, buoyed by “strategic menu price increases” and positive guest counts, the company said in a statement. Internationally, same-restaurant sales were strong in Germany, Australia and France. In international developmental licensed markets strong sales in Japan and Brazil were partly offset by negative same-restaurant sales in China amid COVID lockdowns.
