Tim Hortons Burger King 20140825

Weak loonie hurts Restaurant Brands’ Q3 revenue

Burger King revenue up, Tim Hortons revenue down

Restaurant Brands International had US$1.02 billion of revenue in the third quarter, a decline from last year as currency fluctuation took a bite out of Tim Hortons results.

Tim Hortons contributed US$737.7 million of revenue, which was down from US$834.1 million a year earlier — mainly because of the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar.

On a constant-currency basis, Tim Hortons revenue would have been up 6.3% from a year earlier.

Burger King revenue was US$282 million, up 11.2%.

Restaurant Brands was formed last year as a result of the merger that was completed last December.

It reports it had US$49.6 million of net income in the third quarter. If the companies had been combined in the third quarter of 2014, Restaurant Brands would have had a $46.1-million net income.

Adjusted net income was US$162.7 million — up from $128.3 million on a pro forma basis.

Analysts had estimated $1.035 billion of revenue, according to Thomson Reuters.
