The Wendy’s Company has reported a net income of $55.1m for the second quarter (Q2) of 2025, an increase of 0.9% compared to $54.6m a year previously.

The company attributed the net income increase to a rise in operating profit, partially offset by a reduction in other income.

For Q2 ended 29 June 2025, total revenues stood at $560.9m, a decrease of 1.7% compared to $570.7m in the previous year.

The decrease in total revenues was due to lower US company-operated restaurant sales, lower franchise royalty revenue and advertising funds revenue.

In Q2 2025, the company reported global systemwide sales of $3.7bn, a 1.8% decrease. This decline was primarily due to lower same-restaurant sales in the US segment.

In Q2 2025, the company’s operating profit was $104.3m - up by 4.8% from $99.5m in the same quarter a year ago.

The increase was due to a decrease in the company's investment in advertising spend, lower reorganisation and realignment costs and general and administrative expense. 

Its diluted earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share were $0.29 in Q2 2025, an increase of 7.4%.

During Q2 2025, the company added 26 net new restaurants.

The Wendy's Company interim CEO Ken Cook stated: “In the second quarter, we continued to expand our global footprint, adding 44 new restaurants, bringing our total additions to 118 in the first half of the year.

“We're also encouraged by the strong momentum in our International business, which delivered 8.7% systemwide sales growth in the quarter and continues to offer excellent expansion opportunities.

“In the US, we have work to do to improve the overall performance of the business. We will continue to strengthen relationships with franchisees, improve the effectiveness of our marketing programmes and elevate the customer experience across the system.”
