Financial performance between 2011 and 2015 is characterized by initial growth followed by a period of volatility in operating margins and a shift in revenue composition. Total revenues peaked in 2012 at 13,633 million US$ before stabilizing near 13,105 million US$ by the end of 2015.

Revenue Composition and Mix
A divergence is observed between company-owned sales and franchise income. While company sales peaked in 2012 at 11,833 million US$ and subsequently declined to 11,145 million US$ by 2015, franchise and license fees demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory, increasing from 1,733 million US$ in 2011 to 1,960 million US$ in 2015. This indicates a strategic migration toward a more franchise-heavy, asset-light revenue model.
Operating Expense Analysis
Company restaurant expenses followed a similar pattern to company sales, peaking in 2012 at 9,852 million US$ before decreasing to 9,359 million US$ in 2015. General and administrative expenses remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 1,372 million US$ and 1,510 million US$. A significant source of volatility was found in closures and impairment expenses, which surged from 135 million US$ in 2011 to a peak of 535 million US$ in 2014, before dropping sharply to 79 million US$ in 2015.
Profitability and Operating Results
Operating profit experienced a cyclical trend, reaching a high of 2,294 million US$ in 2012 and a low of 1,557 million US$ in 2014. The decline during the 2013-2014 period correlates with the increase in impairment expenses. However, a recovery is evident in 2015, with operating profit rising to 1,921 million US$.
Net Income and Financial Obligations
Net income for the parent company mirrored the operating profit trends, peaking at 1,597 million US$ in 2012 and bottoming at 1,051 million US$ in 2014, before recovering to 1,293 million US$ in 2015. Net interest expense remained generally stable, though a notable spike to 247 million US$ occurred in 2013. The overall net income trend suggests that while the company faced significant impairment headwinds mid-period, it maintained a resilient ability to generate profit.
