Ravi Jaipuria, non-executive chairman, Devyani International, said, I am delighted to say that DIL has successfully met its store expansion guidance, crossing an impressive milestone of 2,000 stores in the recent quarter, across all brands and geographiesahead of the original target. This achievement further enhances our market presence and reinforces our strategic position in the QSR industry. It also offers our customers greater access to our brands.

Reflecting on Q3, our store expansion strategy has been a key driver of the companys growth. We remain committed to this approach, ensuring a balance between expansion and store-level performance. In Q3, we added 111 net new stores, bringing our total store count to 2,032 as of December 31, 2024.

DILs consolidated revenue for the quarter stood at Rs. 1,294 crores, reflecting a 53.5% year-onyear growth. We have also seen slightly better margin performance because of better SSSG and certain fresh cost optimization measures. I am glad to share that our brands continue to demonstrate consistency and excellence.
