Very strange, despite the continued losses, the counter has been advancing steadily since mid-Dec23 and is now at its 5 years' high! Today it added another $0.015 and closed at $0.345.

Interesting that they managed to wipe out losses and turned in a profit. That probably explains why the share price was rising through the year.

The turnaround is coming from the huge SSS (same store sales) improvement in its Texas Chicken outlets in FY24 compared to FY23.

no. of stores in FY24=95
no. of stores in FY23=92

There is a 44% increase in revenue with a net 3 stores added. With ~5-6 stores closed down in FY24 and new stores not yet matured, "effective SSS" will be much higher at probably 55-60%? This increase is really impressive and but more so puzzling because peers like McD/KFC had definitely suffered badly in the face of popular boycott movement in Msia, after the Israel-Hamas War started. So the logical explanation is that it has actually managed to fly under the radar (despite its "Texas" name) and benefitted from McD/KFC customers turning to them.

Besides the usual fixed fees like staff/leasing/reno operating a restaurant, restaurant franchises have additional fixed fees like franchise (master/store) and annual software/IP licensing. So the barrier to achieve escape velocity from fixed costs is much higher. But when it does escape, it soars and it seem to have just achieved that.

Texas Chicken has copied from its competitors' playbook - limited time promotions, drive throughs etc. Will be interesting to see what happens in the coming year or two as McD/KFC who are definitely much bigger, fight to win back the Masian consumer's mindshare.
