RBD - Restaurant Brands

65 cents the announcement has been pre-empted.....

Have to agree there.

A complete change on board level. Get rid of Pizza Hut. Put more time and advertising into Starbucks. Continue with existing plan for KFC. Look to bring in a new and exciting chain to NZ.

Now, where can I find enough capital to buy 19.99% of RBD?

Couldn't agree more, Pizza Hut has to go, KFC should stay and another franchise bought in? Maybe a place like Fuddruckers like they have in the states.

Tick....tock...tick....tock....

Will Pizza Hutt be gone by the end of next year?

An interesting comment this week from Domino's in the UK. They said that they were benefiting from the consumer slowdown as customers chose to order takeaways rather than eat out.

Yeah, I ve noticed that the good food courts with good authentic food in Auckland are still very busy. The expensive restaurants will not survive throu this recession.

HALFYR: RBD: Restaurant Brands Half Year Results Announcement

Directors' Report to Shareholders
For the Half Year ended 8 September 2008

Key Points

Net Profit after Tax for the half year (excluding non trading items) was $4.6
million (14.7% down on prior year). Reported profit (including non trading
items) was $2.4 million, down 47.3% on prior year.

Total revenues of $162.5 million were 1.1% down on prior year, but same store
sales were up 0.9% for the half, with KFC continuing to be the growth driver.

Non-trading items of $3.2 million largely comprised an impairment charge of
$2.5 million to the carrying value of goodwill on the Pizza Hut New Zealand
business.

Margins were impacted by continuing pressures on input costs with all three
brands producing lower contributions than prior year.

Directors have declared a fully imputed interim dividend of 3.0 cents per
ordinary share payable on 21 November 2008, the same level as last year.

i total agree with this. It has been there problem for years.

This group is the biggest dog on the stock exchange. I use to own and was luck enough to get out at 1.70$.

There marketing is a joke, there service is terrible, they would be better to turn them into
fast paced drive throughs and then they could get away with the pimple people and the bad service.

Lets face it no one goes to KFC to sit in the restraunt part do they, unless they want to catch a disease. They are grot.

This company will be 70c within 2yrs.

That was two and a half years ago. You got that prediction almost right. Would you care to give another prediction of where the sp will be in another two years time. Even i being one of the harshest critics of this company thought the downtrend might have been less than it is. They have very little to lose now, after selling their properties in the good times, to pay rent in the bad times, then blow it on an overseas working holiday. Macdunk
