The largest fast-food chain operator in Latin America and the Caribbean, and the world's largest independent McDonald's franchisee, Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc, has announced it will release its financial results for the second quarter of 2026 before the U.S. stock market opens on August 13. A webcast conference will be held the same day at 10:00 a.m. to discuss the performance and provide a business update.

The company's Chief Executive Officer, Luis Raganato, and senior management will attend the meeting and participate in a Q&A session.

This earnings report is drawing significant market attention. In the first quarter of this year, the company's total revenue reached $1.2 billion, a 13% year-over-year increase, setting a new first-quarter record. System-wide comparable sales grew by 16%, primarily driven by higher average check sizes and improved customer traffic. Adjusted EBITDA increased by nearly 30% to $119 million, with the margin expanding by 120 basis points to 9.7%. Net profit doubled to $36.1 million. Digital channels contributed 64% of system-wide sales, and membership program participants surpassed 30 million.

Building on the strong first-quarter performance, the company is optimistic about the start of the second quarter, achieving its best monthly growth in approximately 20 months during April, with positive customer traffic and solid growth in average check size. Analysts anticipate second-quarter earnings per share of around $0.15 and revenue of approximately $1.28 billion.

Arcos Dorados holds exclusive rights to operate McDonald's restaurants in 21 countries and territories across Latin America and the Caribbean, running more than 2,500 locations. As of March 31, 2026, it employs over 100,000 people. The company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. A link to the earnings webcast will be available on the company's investor relations website, with a replay provided afterward.
