(Neutral)
Tags

Tims China (Nasdaq: THCH) reported second quarter 2026 revenues of RMB273.4 million, down 21.7% year over year, with system sales of RMB347.8 million, down 15.1%. Revenues from company owned and operated stores fell 21.6% to RMB220.9 million, reflecting underperforming store closures, a 17.3% decline in same-store sales and fewer orders.

Company owned and operated store contribution was RMB12.6 million with a 5.7% margin, both below the prior year. Operating loss widened to RMB58.1 million, and net loss increased to RMB97.4 million. Adjusted Corporate EBITDA turned to a RMB21.0 million loss. Despite weaker financials, registered loyalty club members rose 41.7% year over year to 37.1 million, and the store base reached 1,028 locations with a net shift toward higher-margin made-to-order stores. Cash and restricted cash stood at RMB121.1 million as of June 30, 2026.

News Explained

The confirmed change is a US$15.8 million July note tranche; the rest of the proposed financing is not reported as closed.

Tims China reports that it closed an initial tranche of US$15.8 million in additional senior secured convertible notes issued to Tim Hortons Restaurants International GmbH in July 2026, adding the disclosed note financing and its proceeds to the company.

The initial tranche is confirmed as closed, while the broader series is described as proposed; the release therefore does not establish completion of the entire financing. Management says the proceeds are planned for innovation and product offerings, marketing, and a more balanced mix of company-owned and franchised store development.

Key Terms

system sales, same-store sales growth, adjusted corporate ebitda, senior secured convertible notes
4 terms
system sales financial
"System sales1 of RMB347.8 million (USD51.3 million), representing a 15.1%"
System sales are the total sales generated across an entire network of a business’s outlets, including both company-owned and independently operated (franchise) locations. Investors watch this figure because it shows the brand’s overall customer demand and growth beyond what the company records on its own books—like checking the total harvest from all farms using a seed brand rather than just the seed maker’s own field.
same-store sales growth financial
"a 17.3% decline in same-store sales growth for company owned and operated stores"
Same-store sales growth measures how much revenue changes at outlets that have been open for a comparable period (typically a year), excluding sales from newly opened or recently closed locations. It matters to investors because it shows whether demand is growing at the business’s existing operations — like checking whether established trees are producing more fruit rather than counting fruit from newly planted trees — and helps separate true organic performance from growth driven by expansion or closures.
adjusted corporate ebitda financial
"Adjusted Corporate EBITDA was a loss of RMB21.0 million (USD3.1 million)"
Adjusted corporate EBITDA measures a company’s recurring operating profit by starting with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and then removing one-time, irregular or non-operational items so the figure reflects normal business performance. Investors use it like a cleaned-up snapshot of cash-generating ability—similar to judging a car’s usual fuel efficiency after excluding a single unusually long trip—to compare companies, assess sustainable earnings and gauge capacity to service debt or support valuation.
senior secured convertible notes financial
"US$15.8 million in additional senior secured convertible notes issued to THRI"
A senior secured convertible note is a loan a company issues that sits near the top of its repayment order (senior), is backed by specific assets as collateral (secured), and can be swapped into company shares later (convertible). For investors this matters because it combines lower risk of repayment and legal protection from the collateral with the upside of converting into equity—so it affects both the safety of debt holders and potential dilution for shareholders.

COMPANY MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

Mr. Kwok Wah (John) Cheung, CEO of Tims China, stated, “The second quarter was a period of transition for Tims China. Our top-line results were impacted by our proactive decision to close underperforming stores, as well as pressure on same-store sales as we lapped strong delivery performance from last year. It is clear that we need to make meaningful changes to our strategy to win back customers. My experience tells me that when we focus on our core identity and consistently deliver great products and a great guest experience, our customers will respond. I have full confidence in Tims China’s ability to improve the business and regain market share. We have a clear plan and are moving quickly to return the business to growth. We already see green shoots in the business when we look at our registered loyalty club membership, which reached more than 37.1 million as of June 30, 2026, up 41.7% year over year, providing a strong foundation to deepen customer engagement and support future growth”.

Mr. Dong (Albert) Li, CFO of Tims China, commented, “We successfully closed the initial tranche of US$15.8 million in additional senior secured convertible notes issued to Tim Hortons Restaurants International GmbH (“THRI”), our brand owner and founding shareholder, in July 2026. With the proceeds from this series of proposed financing, we plan to drive our innovation and product offerings, invest more in marketing activities, and deploy a more balanced store network development strategy by opening both company owned and operated stores and franchised stores going forward”.

SECOND QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Total revenues were RMB273.4 million (USD40.3 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing a decrease of 21.7% from RMB349.0 million in the same quarter of 2025. Total revenues comprise:

  • Revenues from company owned and operated stores were RMB220.9 million (USD32.6 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing a decrease of 21.6% from RMB281.9 million in the same quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to closures of certain underperforming stores as the number of company owned and operated stores decreased from 566 as of June 30, 2025 to 544 as of June 30, 2026, and a 17.3% decline in same-store sales growth for company owned and operated stores in the second quarter of 2026. The decrease was also attributable to a 0.9% year-over-year decrease in average ticket size, and a 20.7% year-over-year decrease in the number of orders from 10.5 million in the second quarter of 2025 to 8.3 million in the same quarter of 2026.
  • Other revenues were RMB52.5 million (USD7.7 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing a decrease of 21.7% from RMB67.1 million in the same quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower revenues generated per franchised store as a result of a decline in same-store sales growth for franchised stores, offset by an increase in the number of our franchised stores from 449 as of June 30, 2025 to 484 as of June 30, 2026.

Company owned and operated store costs and expenses were RMB221.1 million (USD32.6 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing a decrease of 18.8% from RMB272.4 million in the same quarter of 2025. Company owned and operated store costs and expenses comprise:

  • Food and packaging costs were RMB62.5 million (USD9.2 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing a decrease of 26.3% from RMB84.8 million in the same quarter of 2025, which was primarily due to a decrease in revenues from company owned and operated stores. As we continued to benefit from higher efficiencies in supply chains and cost reduction on raw materials, logistic and warehousing expenses, food and packaging costs as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores decreased by 1.8 percentage points from 30.1% in the second quarter of 2025 to 28.3% in the same quarter of 2026.
  • Rental and property management fees were RMB47.9 million (USD7.1 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing a decrease of 15.6% from RMB56.8 million in the same quarter of 2025, which was primarily due to a decrease in the number of our company-owned and operated stores from 566 as of June 30, 2025 to 544 as of June 30, 2026. Rental and property management fees as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores increased by 1.5 percentage points from 20.2% in the second quarter of 2025 to 21.7% in the same quarter of 2026.
  • Payroll and employee benefits expenses were RMB43.9 million (USD6.5 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing a decrease of 12.6% from RMB50.2 million in the same quarter of 2025, which was primarily due to a decrease in revenues from company owned and operated stores. Payroll and employee benefits expenses as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores increased by 2.1 percentage points from 17.8% in the second quarter of 2025 to 19.9% in the same quarter of 2026.
  • Delivery costs were RMB28.9 million (USD4.3 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing a decrease of 13.3% from RMB33.3 million in the same quarter of 2025, which was in line with the 11.9% decrease in delivery orders from 8.2 million in the second quarter of 2025 to 7.2 million in the same quarter of 2026, and a reduction in average delivery costs per order. Delivery costs as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores increased by 1.3 percentage points to 13.1% in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 11.8% in the same quarter of 2025, which was primarily due to an increase in delivery revenue as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores from 61.0% in the second quarter of 2025 to 65.7% in the same quarter of 2026.
  • Other operating expenses were RMB17.4 million (USD2.6 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing a decrease of 14.7% from RMB20.4 million in the same quarter of 2025, which was primarily due to a decrease in revenues from company owned and operated stores. Other operating expenses as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores increased by 0.7 percentage points to 7.9% in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 7.2% in the same quarter of 2025.
  • Store depreciation and amortization expenses were RMB20.4 million (USD3.0 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing a decrease of 23.8% from RMB26.8 million in the same quarter of 2025, which was primarily due to impairment on property and equipment in relation to company owned and operated store closures and the reduced capital expenditures per store as a result of our initiatives to improve store unit economics. Store depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores decreased by 0.3 percentage points to 9.2% in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 9.5% in the same quarter of 2025.

Costs of other revenues were RMB36.8 million (USD5.4 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing a decrease of 20.9% from RMB46.5 million in the same quarter of 2025, which was in line with the revenue trend. Costs of other revenues as a percentage of other revenues increased by 0.8 percentage points from 69.3% in the second quarter of 2025 to 70.1% in the same quarter of 2026 due to lower margin generated from franchised business during the second quarter of 2026.

Marketing expenses were RMB13.3 million (USD2.0 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing a decrease of 4.4% from RMB13.9 million in the same quarter of 2025. Marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased by 0.9 percentage points from 4.0% in the second quarter of 2025 to 4.9% in the same quarter of 2026 as we spent more marketing efforts to support our franchised business during the second quarter of 2026.

General and administrative expenses were RMB42.3 million (USD6.2 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing an increase of 12.1% from RMB37.7 million in the same quarter of 2025, which was primarily due to a RMB4.2 million (USD0.6 million) increase in professional and other service fees. As a result of the foregoing, adjusted general and administrative expenses, which excludes: (i) share-based compensation expenses of RMB0.3 million (USD0.05 million), and (ii) impairment losses of rental deposits of RMB2.3 million (USD0.3 million), were RMB39.6 million (USD5.8 million), representing an increase of 14.4% from RMB34.6 million in the same quarter of 2025. Adjusted general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased by 4.6 percentage points from 9.9% in the second quarter of 2025 to 14.5% in the same quarter of 2026. For more information on the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures, please see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Directly Comparable GAAP Measures” set forth at the end of this earnings release.

Franchise and royalty expenses were RMB14.4 million (USD2.1 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing a decrease of 15.9% from RMB17.1 million in the same quarter of 2025, which was primarily due to a decrease in total revenues. Franchise and royalty expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased by 0.4 percentage points, from 4.9% in the second quarter of 2025 to 5.3% in the same quarter of 2026, as a result of higher royalty rate applicable.

Impairment losses of long-lived assets were RMB4.6 million (USD0.7 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to RMB9.5 million in the same quarter of 2025, which was primarily due to a decrease in the number of planned closures of underperforming company owned and operated stores in the second quarter of 2026.

As a result of the foregoing, operating loss was RMB58.1 million (USD8.6 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to RMB47.8 million in the same quarter of 2025.

Adjusted Corporate EBITDA was a loss of RMB21.0 million (USD3.1 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a gain of RMB2.2 million in the same quarter of 2025.

KEY DEFINITIONS

  • Same-store sales growth. The percentage change in the sales of stores that have been operating for 12 months or longer during a certain period compared to the same period from the prior year. The same-store sales growth for any period of more than a month equals the arithmetic average of the same-store sales growth of each month covered in the period. If a store was closed for seven days or more during any given month, its sales during that month and the same month in the comparison period are excluded for purposes of measuring same-store sales growth.
  • Net new store openings. The gross number of new stores opened during the period minus the number of stores permanently closed during the period.
  • System sales. Gross merchandise value of sales generated from both company owned and operated stores and franchised stores.
  • Company owned and operated store contribution (previously reported as adjusted store EBITDA). Calculated as fully burdened gross profit of company owned and operated stores excluding depreciation and amortization.
  • Company owned and operated store contribution margin (previously reported as adjusted store EBITDA margin). Calculated as company owned and operated store contribution as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores.
  • Adjusted general and administrative expenses. Calculated as general and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, professional fees related to financing programs, and impairment losses of rental deposits.
  • Adjusted corporate EBITDA. Calculated as operating loss excluding certain non-cash expenses consisting of depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expenses, impairment losses of long-lived assets, loss on disposal of property and equipment, professional fees related to financing programs, and impairment losses of rental deposits.
  • Adjusted corporate EBITDA margin. Calculated as adjusted corporate EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues.
  • Adjusted net loss. Calculated as net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses, impairment losses of long-lived assets, loss on disposal of property and equipment, professional fees related to financing programs, impairment losses of rental deposits, and changes in fair value of convertible notes.
  • Adjusted net loss margin. Calculated as adjusted net loss as a percentage of total revenues.
  • Adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share. Calculated as adjusted net loss attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders divided by weighted-average number of basic and diluted ordinary shares.

RECENT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

On August 13, 2026, Tims China announced the official launch of a joint membership campaign with China Southern Airlines. The two companies will work together on member benefits integration, consumer touchpoint fusion, and service experience innovation, giving members of both programs a new “coffee plus travel” lifestyle experience and expanding the membership service ecosystem.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, namely company owned and operated store contribution, company owned and operated store contribution margin, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted corporate EBITDA, adjusted corporate EBITDA margin, adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss margin, and adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company defines (i) company owned and operated store contribution as fully burdened gross profit of company owned and operated stores excluding depreciation and amortization; (ii) company owned and operated store contribution margin as company owned and operated store contribution as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores; (iii) adjusted general and administrative expenses as general and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, professional fees related to financing programs, and impairment losses of rental deposits; (iv) adjusted corporate EBITDA as operating loss excluding certain non-cash expenses consisting of depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expenses, impairment losses of long-lived assets, loss on disposal of property and equipment, professional fees related to financing programs, and impairment losses of rental deposits; (v) adjusted corporate EBITDA margin as adjusted corporate EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues; (vi) adjusted net loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses, impairment losses of long-lived assets, loss on disposal of property and equipment, professional fees related to financing programs, impairment losses of rental deposits, and changes in fair value of convertible notes; (vii) adjusted net loss margin as adjusted net loss as a percentage of total revenues; and (viii) adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share as adjusted net loss attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders divided by weighted-average number of basic and diluted ordinary shares. The Company believes company owned and operated store contribution, company owned and operated store contribution margin, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted corporate EBITDA, adjusted corporate EBITDA margin, adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss margin, and adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share enhance investors' overall understanding of its financial performance and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures, which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. For reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Directly Comparable GAAP Measures.” The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
