Chief Executive David Gibbs: «Our broad-based momentum continued in the second quarter with system sales growth of 13 percent owing to 9 percent same-store sales growth and 6 percent unit growth. KFC, our largest division, led the quarter with an astounding 19 percent system sales growth. An impressive 1,025 gross new units this quarter and nearly 30 percent digital sales growth contributed to our robust system sales growth. I remain confident we are well positioned to thrive in any consumer spending environment given the broad consumer appeal of our iconic brands, including our craveable products, compelling value and easy experiences. With our strong year-to-date results and continued momentum, we expect to deliver full year 2023 results well above our long-term growth algorithm for system sales and core operating profit growth.» For additional information please read the company’s PDF file below (163 KB):
