Burger King India Pre-IPO - Peer comparison yields interesting nuggets on profitability and capex

Burger King India (BKI) plans to raise around US$150m via a mix of selling primary and secondary shares in India. BKI is the national master franchisee of the Burger King brand in India. As of Oct 2019, it operated 224 restaurants, including 8 sub-franchised restaurants, across 47 cities in India.
BKI’s no. of restaurants have increased by 2.3x over FY17-3M20, while its revenue has grown even faster at 66% CAGR over FY17-19. Although BKI hasn’t managed to break-even, however, it has narrowed its losses to just 0.8% over 3M20.

In my previous note, Burger King India Pre-IPO - Has been growing fast and plans to grow even faster, I covered the company’s background and looked into some of the issues that the company might face.

In this note, I’ll compare the company to its two main listed peers in India, Westlife Development and Jubilant Foodworks. Both these companies have shown strong growth over the past few years, although their operating metrics differ a lot.

BKI appears to lie in between the two on most measures, although its cost structure leaves much to be desired, as of now.
