Restaurant Brands New Zealand Reports Sales Boost Despite Challenges
Restaurant Brands New Zealand (ASX:RBD) withstood a slowdown in Australia and a downturn in its small Californian operation to report a 7.9% boost in sales to NZ$333 million for the three months ended March.
餐厅品牌新西兰（ASX：RBD）在承受澳洲经济放缓和其小型加利福尼亚运营的下滑的情况下，报告截至三月的三个月内销售额增长7.9％，达到3.33亿新西兰元。
The company said the strong sales growth in the New Zealand and Hawaiian markets offset the slowdown in Australian sales and the dip in California.
该公司表示，新西兰和夏威夷市场的强劲销售增长抵消了澳大利亚销售的放缓和加利福尼亚州的下滑。
RBD operates the KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and Carl's Jr. chains.
RBD经营KFC，必胜客，Taco Bell和Carl's Jr.连锁店。
New Zealand sales for the first quarter were NZ$149.0 million, up 15.2% in total and 11.4% on a same-store basis.
首季新西兰销售额为1.49亿新西兰元，总计增长15.2％，同店销售增长11.4％。
Sales increased across all brands, driven by additional store openings, innovation through marketing initiatives, and improvement in trading hours, which has flowed through to solid transaction growth.
所有品牌销售额都增加了，新店的开张，通过营销活动进行的创新以及营业时间的改进推动了交易量的稳步增长。

Like Australia, RBD said California was impacted by the cost of living pressures, which continue to have a significant impact in this market on discretionary household expenditure. RBD said it remains focused on boosting margins and profit levels while maintaining brand health, protecting its strong customer base, and continuing to position the business to deliver sustainable long-term value.
与澳大利亚一样，RBD表示，加利福尼亚州受到生活成本压力的影响，这继续对该市场上的自由支配家庭支出产生重大影响。 RBD表示，它将继续专注于提高利润率和盈利水平，同时保持品牌健康，保护其强大的客户基础，并继续使业务定位为提供可持续长期价值。
"This is supported by ongoing strategic pricing and cost control programs across all markets, alongside investments into technology, product innovation, network expansion, and brand experience," the company said.
“除了通过技术，产品创新，网络扩张和品牌体验进行的投资外，还有全市场的持续战略定价和成本控制计划，”该公司表示。
