Summary
Guzman Y Gomez Limited reported robust financial results for the first half of 2026, with a 23% rise in revenue to $261.2 million and a 29.6% increase in EBITDA to $40.9 million.

A fully franked interim dividend of 7.4 cents per share was declared. The growth was driven by strong network sales, which saw a 17.4% increase, bolstered by 14 new restaurant openings and the strength of drive-thru AUVs. Capital expenditure of $23.1 million was focused on expanding the restaurant network. In the US segment, network sales grew by 67.0%, although this was accompanied by higher losses due to new restaurant openings.
