Motilal Oswal Report

Westlife Foodworld Ltd. reported a better than expected sales momentum in Q2 FY23. Even as gross margin was in line, operating leverage led to an 18% Ebtda beat from our expectation.

The management indicated a gradual improvement in gross margin going forward, led by a further 2% blended price increase in October 2022 and the return of the high margin McCafe business to pre-Covid levels.

While Westlife Foodworld’s prospects are improving, its medium term earnings growth can still be weaker than its peers, given:

  1. the increase in royalty, and

  2. the limited room to improve gross margin, with over 80% of its stores already having McCafe outlets.
