Coffee Day Global Ltd, which operates Café Coffee Day, returned to profit in FY26, posting a net profit of ₹14 crore after a loss in the previous year. Its revenue from operations rose 5.7% year-on-year to ₹1,094 crore.
The company’s earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) also improved sharply, rising 27% to ₹198 crore, according to a filing by its parent firm Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd (CDEL).
In FY25, Coffee Day Global had reported revenue of ₹1,034.63 crore but recorded a net loss of ₹175.92 crore, highlighting a significant turnaround in the latest fiscal year.
Operationally, average sales per day increased slightly to ₹21,101 in FY26 from ₹21,016 in the previous year. However, the café network continued to shrink, with the number of outlets falling to 424 from 435 a year earlier. Same-store sales growth remained negative at 1.72%.
In contrast, the company’s vending machine segment expanded further, rising to 55,802 machines by the end of FY26, compared to 54,100 in the same period last year.
The parent company also turned profitable, reporting a net profit of ₹210.14 crore in FY26 against a loss of ₹143.20 crore in FY25, with total operating revenue of ₹1,154.40 crore.
Overall, the results reflect a financial recovery for the coffee chain operator, driven by improved profitability and growth in its vending business, even as its café footprint continues to decline.
