The Wendy’s Company, a prominent player in the fast-food industry, is known for its fresh, made-to-order hamburgers and a variety of popular menu items, operating over 7,000 restaurants globally. In its third-quarter 2025 earnings report, Wendy’s highlighted a mixed performance with global systemwide sales experiencing a slight decline of 2.6%, while international sales saw a robust growth of 8.6%.

Despite a decrease in net income to $44.3 million, adjusted EBITDA saw a modest increase of 2.1% to $138 million. Key financial metrics revealed a decline in U.S. systemwide sales due to lower same-restaurant sales, although international growth and new openings provided a positive offset.
