Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call highlighted strong international growth, digital sales improvements, and the successful launch of new products like Chicken Tendies. However, these positives were offset by significant challenges in the U.S. market, including a decline in same-restaurant sales, margin pressures, and financial strain on franchisees. The strategic shift in focusing on long-term growth through Project Fresh and system optimization indicates a proactive approach to addressing these issues.
Company Guidance
During the Wendy's fiscal 2025 third quarter earnings call, management provided detailed guidance on several key metrics and strategic priorities. Global system-wide sales were reported to have declined by 2.6%, driven by a 4.7% decrease in U.S. same-restaurant sales, while international sales grew by 8.6%. The company maintained its full-year outlook for global system-wide sales, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS, with expectations for free cash flow increased by $35 million to a range of $195 million to $210 million. The company highlighted its strategic shift towards enhancing average unit volumes (AUVs) rather than net unit growth in the U.S., driven by Project Fresh, which focuses on brand revitalization, operational excellence, system optimization, and capital allocation. This includes plans for a mid-single-digit percentage closure of underperforming U.S. restaurants starting later in 2025, with a continued focus on international expansion, expecting over 9% net unit growth internationally. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter increased by 2.1% to $138 million, while adjusted EPS was $0.24, slightly down from $0.25 the previous year. Additionally, the company has returned over $300 million to shareholders year-to-date, aiming to exceed $325 million for the full year.
International Growth
International system-wide sales grew 8.6% in the third quarter, with significant contributions from markets such as Mexico (over 18% growth) and Puerto Rico (over 10% growth).
Project Fresh Initiative
Launch of Project Fresh with four strategic pillars aimed at revitalizing the brand, operational excellence, system optimization, and capital allocation to drive profitable growth.
Improvement in Digital Sales
U.S. digital sales increased by 14.9% year-over-year, reaching an all-time high digital mix of 20.3%.
Chicken Tendies Success
Launch of Wendy's Chicken Tendies was successful, with strong customer demand and positive reception.
Increased Free Cash Flow Outlook
Free cash flow outlook increased by $35 million to a range of $195 million to $210 million, due to reductions in capital expenditures and tax benefits.
