**Growth Drivers or Strategy:** Focus is on optimal capital allocation and expanding with smaller omni-channel restaurants.

Pizza Hut aims for a differentiated dine-in experience, competitive value, and taste upgrades, with cautious expansion (no new stores in CY25). Cost optimization through zero-based budgeting and smaller footprints are also priorities.
**Recent Developments:** Sapphire Foods added a net 89 restaurants in FY26. Boards have approved a merger scheme with Devyani International, awaiting regulatory nod. The company also earned recognition as a Gallup Exceptional Workplace.
**Management Commentary / Outlook:** Management plans to sustain KFC's strong performance and improve Pizza Hut's profitability. Future Pizza Hut expansion will focus on smaller 1,000 sq ft stores for market densification.
