Highlights
- Revenue fell from $464.4 million from the same quarter a year ago due to the ownership of 522 fewer company-operated restaurants.
- Franchise royalty revenue fell to $95.7 million from $100.8 million a year ago due to a reduction in the number of restaurants sold through the company's system optimization initiative.
-
Same-restaurant sales rose 0.8 percent in North America, or 5.6 percent on a two-year basis.
- Company-operated restaurant margin fell to 18.8 percent from 19.2 percent a year ago due to higher operating costs and higher labor rates which were partly offset by lower commodity costs.
- Wendys guided its full year fiscal 2017 earnings per share to a range of $0.45 to $0.47 versus the consensus estimate of $0.46 per share.
- Wendys also set a guideline of recording $12 billion of global restaurant sales by 2020.
