GYG reports 91.2% surge in net profit in H1 2025
Global network sales increased 23% to $578m.
Guzman y Gomez reported a whopping 91.2% increase in its net profit after tax to $7.3m in H1 2025 from $3.8m from the same period a year before.
The fast-food chain’s global network sales rose by 23% to $578m, driven by strong demand for its fresh, made-to-order Mexican-inspired food and effective operational execution. EBITDA increased by 28% to $31.6m, reflecting better corporate restaurant margins and higher franchise revenues.
The group now operates 239 restaurants across Australia, Singapore, Japan, and the United States, following the opening of 19 new locations during the half-year.
Australia remained the key driver of GYG’s growth, accounting for $573m of total sales—nearly the entire global sales figure. T
The Australian segment achieved a 9.4% comparable sales growth, fueled by strong performance in the delivery channel, demand for value menu items such as the $12 Chicken Mini Meal, and impactful marketing campaigns.
The Australian segment also saw improvements in corporate restaurant margins, rising from 17.5% to 18.0%, driven by operating leverage despite high delivery demand.
Founder and co-CEO Steven Marks highlighted Australia’s contribution to the overall performance, stating that the results demonstrate GYG’s commitment to guest experience and strategic execution.
The company now has over 100 restaurants in the development pipeline, with Australia continuing to play a central role in future expansion.
