Insights

LatAm restaurants & consumer analyst

Q3 headline growth aided by Brazil tax credit; operations steady.

Arcos Dorados delivered Q3 revenue of $1.2B and Adjusted EBITDA of $201.1M with a 16.9% margin. Systemwide comparable sales grew 12.7%, supporting top line in a mixed macro backdrop.

A Brazil federal tax credit provided a net benefit of $125.2M ($85.6M in Operating income and $39.6M in financing results), boosting margins and EPS to $0.71. Digital represented 61% of systemwide sales; Loyalty reached 23.6M members.

Leverage remained moderate at 1.2x net debt/EBITDA, and a new $200M revolver (SOFR + 2.10%–2.40%, four‑year maturity with optional one‑year extension) adds liquidity. Future results will reflect the timing and use of the tax credit; operational efficiency and unit growth remain central drivers.

Montevideo, Uruguay, November 12, 2025 – Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ARCO) (“Arcos Dorados” or the “Company”), the world’s largest independent McDonald’s franchisee, operating the largest quick service restaurant chain in Latin America and the Caribbean, today reported unaudited results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Message from Luis Raganato, Chief Executive Officer

During the third quarter of 2025, we successfully navigated challenging consumer dynamics to generate balanced US dollar revenue growth and solid profitability. We are focused on exceeding guests’ expectations in today’s business while modernizing and improving our growth processes to support higher returns on investment and to ensure Arcos Dorados maintains its leadership position for many years to come.

Total revenue reached $1.2 billion, with balanced US dollar growth across the three divisions. Systemwide comparable sales rose 12.7%, in-line with the Company’s blended inflation for the period. Growth was particularly strong in SLAD and NOLAD, led by Argentina and Mexico, respectively.

Marketing and Digital have been an important differentiator for the McDonald’s brand throughout the Arcos Dorados footprint. This important competitive advantage has allowed us to protect, or expand, market share in the countries where we operate, almost without exception. We believe this will help sustain strong performance as the operating environment normalizes and economic conditions improve.

We produced $201.1 million in Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter, including the net impact of a federal tax credit in Brazil. In the underlying business, we generated efficiencies in Payroll and Occupancy and other operating expenses, and we will leave no stone unturned to identify and capture additional efficiencies this year and into the future.

We opened 22 restaurants in the third quarter of 2025, 19 of which were free-standing locations. At the end of the quarter, 72% of restaurants in our footprint welcomed guests with our most modernized and compelling experience.

We are pushing to have a solid finish to 2025, while positioning ourselves for a stronger performance next year, targeting sustainable topline growth and improved operational efficiency to drive profitability, generate free cash flow and create shareholder value.

Arcos Dorados’ total revenues reached $1.2 billion, up 5.2% in US dollars versus the prior year quarter. Systemwide comparable sales rose 12.7% in the quarter, which was in-line with the Company’s blended inflation rate. Brazil’s systemwide comparable sales improved sequentially versus the second quarter of 2025, while Mexico and Argentina supported the consolidated result with systemwide comparable sales growth of 1.8x and 1.3x local inflation, respectively.

The Company’s Digital strategy continued to support sales growth. Digital channel sales rose 11.2% in the period, generating 61% of the third quarter’s systemwide sales. Digital sales growth was strongest in Brazil and SLAD, where Argentina capitalized on a modernized restaurant base and a tech-savvy consumer to drive growth in Delivery and Self-order kiosk sales.

By the end of the third quarter of 2025, the Company’s Loyalty Program reached more than 70% of all restaurants in its footprint. Puerto Rico began offering the Program during the third quarter, joining the six other markets that already offered Loyalty to their guests: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Uruguay. The Loyalty Program reached 23.6 million registered members at the end of the third quarter, growing by nearly 50% versus the end of 2024. The Loyalty Program, which is now in the pilot phase in Mexico, remains on target to be available in all main markets by year-end 2025.

Marketing in the quarter focused on brand strength across all platforms. The family segment deepened the emotional connection with the brand and created memorable experiences with the Hello Kitty and Tiny TAN licenses. Value platforms offered good value for money to guests and remained a strategic priority given the operating environment. Several markets leveraged the McCrispy Chicken platform to introduce new sandwiches and bundles in this key growth category. Dessert sales were boosted by particularly strong and localized McFlurry flavors and popular licenses such as Hello Kitty. Finally, the Company leveraged its exclusive regional sponsorship agreement with Formula One to drive sales and strengthen brand love.

 

In the third quarter, Arcos Dorados recognized a federal tax credit in Brazil, with a total net benefit of $125.2 million, including an $85.6 million positive impact within Operating income and a $39.6 million positive impact on Interest income and other financing results. The credit arose from a judgment regarding the treatment of certain government-related tax incentives for the period 2016 to 2023. The tax credit is expected to provide a positive cash impact since the Company plans to use it to offset federal tax obligations, beginning in 2026. The Company expects to recover the taxes over the next five years.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA increased strongly versus the prior year in US dollars due to the abovementioned benefit in Brazil. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.9% and 11.0% in the third quarter of 2025 and third quarter of 2024, respectively.  In addition to the benefit within Operating income due to the federal tax credit in Brazil, efficiencies in payroll as well as occupancy and other operating expenses also contributed positively to the margin comparison while food & paper costs remained above prior year levels.

Net income attributable to Arcos Dorados reflected the full impact of the abovementioned federal tax credit, generating a net income margin of 12.6% in the third quarter of 2025 compared with 3.1% in the third quarter of 2024.

Arcos Dorados recorded earnings of $0.71 per share in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $0.17 per share in the prior year period. Total weighted average shares were 210,663,057 in both periods.

Notable Items

Included in Adjusted EBITDA: The result in the third quarter of 2025 included $85.6 million related to the aforementioned federal tax credit in Brazil.

Additionally, the result for the third quarter of 2024 included a $5.6 million positive impact from a recovery related to social security contributions in Brazil.

Excluded from Adjusted EBITDA: There were no notable items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in either the third quarter of 2025 or the third quarter of 2024.

Definitions  

In analyzing business trends, management considers a variety of performance and financial measures which are considered to be non-GAAP including: Adjusted EBITDA, Constant Currency basis, Systemwide sales, and Systemwide comparable sales growth.

Adjusted EBITDA: In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with the general accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables use a non-GAAP financial measure titled ‘Adjusted EBITDA’. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the Company’s operating income plus depreciation and amortization plus/minus the following losses/gains: gains from sale or insurance recovery of property and equipment, write-offs of long-lived assets, impairment of long-lived assets, and reorganization and optimization plan expenses.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations such as capital structures (affecting net interest expense and other financing results), taxation (affecting income tax expense) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense), which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Figure 5 of this earnings release includes a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income attributable to Arcos Dorados. For more information, please see the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation in Note 9 – Segment and geographic information – of our financial statements filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form 6-K.

Constant Currency basis: refers to amounts calculated using the same exchange rate over the periods under comparison to remove the effects of currency fluctuations from this trend analysis. To better discern underlying business trends, this release uses non-GAAP financial measures that segregate year-over-year growth into two categories:

· Currency translation reflects the impact on growth of the appreciation or depreciation of the local currencies in which the Company conducts its business against the US dollar (the currency in which the Company’s financial statements are prepared).

· Constant currency growth reflects the underlying growth of the business excluding the effect from currency translation. The Company also calculates variations as a percentage in constant currency, which are also considered to be non-GAAP measures, to provide a more meaningful analysis of its business by identifying the underlying business trends, without distortion from the effect of foreign currency fluctuations.

Systemwide sales: Systemwide sales represent measures for both Company-operated and sub-franchised restaurants. While sales by sub-franchisees are not recorded as revenues by the Company, management believes the information is important in understanding its financial performance because these sales are the basis on which it calculates and records sub-franchised restaurant revenues and are indicative of the financial health of its sub-franchisee base.

Systemwide comparable sales growth: this non-GAAP measure, refers to the change, on a constant currency basis, in Company-operated and sub-franchised restaurant sales in one period from a comparable period for restaurants that have been open for thirteen months or longer (year-over-year basis) including those temporarily closed. Management believes it is a key performance indicator used within the retail industry and is indicative of the success of the Company’s initiatives as well as local economic, competitive and consumer trends. Sales by sub-franchisees are not recorded as revenues by the Company.
