Pattern Detected

Earnings releases often showed revenue growth but margin pressure, with price reactions frequently negative or muted; one notably positive operational report saw a negative price reaction.

Recent Company History

Over the last five earnings-related releases from Nov 2024 to Nov 2025, Super Hi reported consistent revenue growth driven by network expansion and higher guest visits. However, income from operations and margins often compressed as the company invested in customer initiatives, employee benefits, and secondary brands. Profit frequently benefited from reduced foreign exchange losses or gains. Market reactions have been mixed, with several quarters showing share price declines despite operational improvements, framing today’s Q4/FY 2025 update within an ongoing growth-but-margin-pressure narrative.

Across 5 recent earnings releases, HDL’s average next-day move was -2.78%. Today’s modest +0.71% reaction to Q4/FY 2025 results sits within the typical volatility range.

Earnings updates from Q4 2024 through Q3 2025 show steady revenue and traffic growth but recurring margin compression, often offset at the net income level by favorable foreign exchange movements.

Analysis

This announcement reports Q4 2025 revenue of US$230.0M and FY 2025 revenue of US$840.8M, both growing year-over-year, while income from operation margins declined to 5.7% in Q4 and 4.4% for the full year. Restaurant level operating margin fell to 8.7%, reflecting higher input and staff costs plus strategic investments. Historically, earnings have produced mixed share reactions despite steady revenue gains. Investors may focus on how management balances expansion, the “Pomegranate Plan,” and cost control in upcoming periods.

Key Terms

same-store sales, income from operation, income from operation margin, restaurant level operating margin, +3 more
7 terms
same-store sales financial
"Same-store sales3 were US$195.4 million, representing an increase of 2.3%..."
Same-store sales measure the revenue generated by stores that have been open for a certain period, typically a year, comparing their sales over different time frames. It helps assess whether a business is growing due to increased customer activity at existing locations rather than new stores. For investors, this figure indicates the health and performance of a company's core operations, independent of expansion efforts.
income from operation financial
"Income from operation4 was US$13.0 million, compared to US$17.5 million..."
Income from operation, often called operating income, is the profit a business makes from its core activities after subtracting costs directly tied to running the business (like materials, wages, and factory or store expenses) but before interest and taxes. Think of it as the profit a lemonade stand earns from selling lemonade after paying for lemons, sugar and the stand — it shows how well the main business itself is performing, which helps investors judge operational strength and compare companies independent of financing or one‑time items.
income from operation margin financial
"Income from operation margin5 was 5.7%, compared to 8.4%..."
Income from operation margin measures the share of a company’s sales that remains after paying the normal, day‑to‑day costs of running the business (like wages, rent and production costs) but before interest and taxes. Think of it as the portion of every dollar of revenue that is left over from core operations—useful to investors because it reveals how efficiently a company turns sales into operating profit and lets them compare underlying performance across companies and time.
restaurant level operating margin financial
"The restaurant level operating margin was 8.7%, a decrease of 1.4 percentage points..."
Restaurant level operating margin measures how much profit a single restaurant keeps from its sales after paying the direct costs of running that location — things like food, beverage, hourly wages and day-to-day supplies — but before adding corporate overhead, interest, taxes or other company-wide expenses. Investors use it like a per-store health check: higher margins mean each location is more efficient and can better absorb corporate costs or support expansion, similar to knowing how much cash each shop generates before headquarters costs.
non-ifrs financial measure financial
"the Group considers and uses a non-IFRS measure, Restaurant level operating margin..."
A non-IFRS financial measure is a performance number a company reports that is not defined by official accounting rules and usually adjusts standard results to show what management believes is the company’s underlying performance. Think of it like a photo with a custom filter: it can make important features clearer but may also hide blemishes, so investors use it to understand management’s view while checking how the adjustments were made and reconciled to the official numbers.
ifrs accounting standards financial
"as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards."
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are a set of common rules for preparing company financial reports so numbers like profit, assets and debt are presented consistently across countries. Think of them as a standardized recipe or blueprint that helps investors compare businesses the same way they would compare cars using the same list of features; consistent reporting reduces surprises and makes it easier to assess value, risk and performance.
fair value through profit or loss financial
"net gain arising on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and income tax expense."
An accounting classification for certain financial assets where their current market price is used to update value on the books, and any increase or decrease is recorded immediately in the company’s profit & loss statement. Like checking the daily score of an investment and noting the gain or loss right away, this approach makes reported earnings reflect market swings more quickly, which can increase short-term volatility in reported profits and help investors see real-time value changes.

SINGAPORE, March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Super Hi International Holding Ltd.

This near-term pressure on restaurant level operating margin primarily reflects our strategic investments in employee incentives, enhanced value propositions, and elevated in-store experiences. In 2025, we also expanded and optimized our restaurant network, diversified revenue streams, and increased investment in the ‘Pomegranate Plan’. These initiatives collectively contributed to Haidilao restaurant revenue growth of 5.7% and other business revenue growth of 61.4%.

“Looking ahead, we remain committed to our vision of becoming a leading global integrated restaurant group. We will strengthen our diverse customer base overseas and deliver richer dining experiences to customers worldwide, driving sustainable growth across global markets.”

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Revenue was US$230.0 million, representing an increase of 10.2% from US$208.8 million in the same period of 2024.

  • Revenue from Haidilao restaurant operations was US$211.9 million, representing an increase of 6.0% from US$199.9 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was mainly driven by (i) ongoing business expansion and increased brand influence; and (ii) continuous efforts to increase guest visits and table turnover rate.
  • Revenue from delivery business was US$6.8 million, representing an increase of 94.3% from US$3.5 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to (i) the continuous optimization of delivery products and services based on market demand; and (ii) strategic marketing collaborations with local food delivery platforms.
  • Revenue from other business was US$11.3 million, representing an increase of 109.3% from US$5.4 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was mainly driven by (i) the increasing popularity of hot pot condiment products, Haidilao-branded and sub-branded food products among local customers and retailers; and (ii) the incubation of secondary branded restaurants under the “Pomegranate Plan” through diversification into multiple business concepts.

Raw materials and consumables used were US$76.9 million, representing an increase of 13.6% from US$67.7 million in the same period of 2024. In the fourth quarter of 2025, raw materials and consumables used as a percentage of revenue increased to 33.4% from 32.4% in the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily driven by (i) increased sales of hot pot condiment products, Haidilao-branded and sub-branded food products, and the expansion of the secondary branded restaurants; and (ii) the continued investment in initiatives to enhance the customer experience, such as quality enhancements.

Staff costs were US$74.1 million, representing an increase of 10.3% from US$67.2 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) the increase in the number of employees, reflecting the expansion of the restaurant network compared to the prior year; and (ii) higher piece-rate wages and extended working hours resulting from increased guest visits and improved table turnover rate. As a percentage of revenue, staff costs remained stable at 32.2% in the fourth quarter of 2025, consistent with the same period of 2024.

Income from operation4 was US$13.0 million, compared to US$17.5 million in the same period of 2024. Income from operation margin5 was 5.7%, compared to 8.4% in the same period of 2024. This change in income from operation margin5 was mainly attributable to (i) the growth in sales of hot pot condiment products, Haidilao-branded and sub-branded food products, and the expansion of the secondary branded restaurants, contributed to an increase in ingredient costs as a percentage of revenue; (ii) the increase in business development expenses and storage expenses in line with the Company’s business expansion; and (iii) the net increase in impairment losses on property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, primarily related to business optimization measures implemented at certain restaurant locations following comprehensive performance reviews conducted by management.

Profit for the period was US$4.5 million, compared to a loss of US$11.6 million in the same period of 2024. This change was mainly due to a decrease in net foreign exchange loss of US$22.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared with the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to foreign exchange fluctuations, particularly the revaluation of local currencies against the U.S. dollar.

Basic and diluted net profit per share were both US$0.01 compared to a basic and diluted net loss per share of US$0.02 in the same period of 2024.

Full Year 2025 Financial Results

Revenue was US$840.8 million, representing an increase of 8.0% from US$778.3 million in the full year of 2024.

  • Revenue from Haidilao restaurant operations was US$790.0 million, representing an increase of 5.7% from US$747.3 million in the full year of 2024. The increase was mainly driven by (i) improved operational performance at existing Haidilao restaurants, driven by higher table turnover rate and increased customer traffic resulting from our ongoing operational optimization initiative; and (ii) the continued strategic expansion of our business network throughout 2025.
  • Revenue from delivery business was US$19.0 million, representing an increase of 68.1% from US$11.3 million in the full year of 2024, primarily due to (i) the continuous optimization of delivery products and services based on market demand; and (ii) strategic marketing collaborations with local food delivery platforms.
  • Revenue from other business was US$31.8 million, representing an increase of 61.4% from US$19.7 million in the full year of 2024. The increase was mainly driven by (i) the increasing popularity of hot pot condiment products, as well as Haidilao-branded and sub-branded food products, among local customers and retailers; and (ii) the incubation of secondary branded restaurants under the “Pomegranate Plan” through diversification into multiple business concepts.

Raw materials and consumables used were US$282.8 million, representing an increase of 9.7% from US$257.7 million in the full year of 2024. As a percentage of revenue, raw materials and consumables used increased to 33.6% in the full year of 2025 from 33.1% in the full year of 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) the continued investment in customer experience initiatives, such as quality enhancements; and (ii) increased sales of hot pot condiment products, Haidilao-branded and sub-branded food products and the expansion of secondary branded restaurants.

Staff costs were US$285.4 million, representing an increase of 10.1% from US$259.3 million in the full year of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) the increase in the number of employees, which was in line with the expansion of the restaurant network and our operation strategy of ensuring sufficient number of employees to provide superior customer experience across catering services, product quality, restaurant environment, and food safety; (ii) higher piece-rate wages and extended working hours resulting from increased guest visits and improved table turnover rate; and (iii) higher statutory minimum wages in certain countries where we operated. As a percentage of revenue, the Group’s staff costs increased from 33.3% in 2024 to 33.9% in 2025.

Income from operation4 was US$37.4 million, compared to US$53.3 million in the full year of 2024. Income from operation margin5 was 4.4%, compared to 6.8% in the full year of 2024. This change in income from operation margin5 was mainly attributable to (i) the continued investment in customer experience and employee benefit initiatives, which partially offsets the increase in revenue; (ii) increased outsourcing service fees and consulting service expenses, resulting from the restaurant network expansion and the secondary brand development; and (iii) the net increase in impairment losses on property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, primarily related to business optimization measures implemented at certain restaurant locations following comprehensive performance reviews conducted by management.

Profit for the year was US$36.3 million, representing an increase of 69.6% from US$21.4 million in 2024. This change was primarily due to the increase in net foreign exchange gain of US$33.8 million, driven mainly by foreign exchange fluctuations, particularly the appreciation of local currencies against the U.S. dollar, which is partially offset by the decrease in income from operation margin5 mentioned above.

Basic and diluted net profit per share were both US$0.06, compared to US$0.04 in the full year of 2024.

Non-IFRS Financial Measure

In evaluating the Group’s business, the Group considers and uses a non-IFRS measure, Restaurant level operating margin, which is calculated by dividing (i) restaurant level operating profit by (ii) restaurant level revenue, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of these non-IFRS financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

Restaurant level operating margin is a supplemental measure of operating performance of the Group’s restaurants and its calculations thereof may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. Restaurant level operating margin has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as a substitute for analysis of the Group’s results as reported under IFRS Accounting Standards.

Restaurant level revenue refers to the total revenue generated from the Group’s two major service lines – Haidilao restaurant operations and delivery business.

Restaurant level operating profit is calculated by deducting from restaurant level revenue certain restaurant level costs and expenses, including (i) restaurant level expenses, including cost of restaurant level raw materials and consumables used, restaurant level staff costs, restaurant level property rentals and related expenses, restaurant level utilities expenses, restaurant level depreciation and amortization, restaurant level traveling and communication expenses and other restaurant level expenses, including preopening expenses in each region; and (ii) management fees incurred in each region. The cost of restaurant level raw materials and consumables used included the cost of food ingredients and consumables associated with central kitchens that are used within the Group’s Haidilao restaurants as well as those procured directly from suppliers.

The Group believes that Restaurant level operating margin is an important measure to evaluate the performance and profitability of each of the Group’s restaurants, individually and in the aggregate. The Group uses Restaurant level operating margin information to benchmark the Group’s performance versus competitors.

Notes:

(1) Income from operation is calculated by profit for the year excluding interest income (included within other income), finance costs, unrealized foreign exchange differences arising from remeasurement of balances which are not denominated in functional currency, net gain arising on financial assets at FVTPL and income tax expense.

(2) Other income primarily consists of the subsidies received from the local governments for the Group’s business development but does not include non-operating interest income.

(3) Non-restaurant level costs and expenses mainly relate to costs associated with Revenue (Others), operational costs and expenses associated with central kitchens, and corporate and unallocated costs.

(4) Raw materials and consumables used in non-restaurant level operations mainly relate to cost of food ingredients purchased by central kitchens that are not used for Haidilao restaurants, but which are used for sales of hot pot condiment products and food under Haidilao brand and secondary brands to local guests and retailers.

(5) Other losses – net primarily consist of net impairment loss (reversal) recognized in respect of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, but do not include unrealized foreign exchange differences arising from remeasurement of balances which are not denominated in functional currency and net gain arising on financial assets at FVTPL.
