Subject of the Disclosure

The Jollibee Group to Operate and License Milksha Stores in the US

Background/Description of the Disclosure

Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC, also known as Jollibee Group), one of the largest Asian food service companies, disclosed today that its subsidiaries, Milkshop Japan Inc. and MKSA LLC (MKSA), have entered a license agreement whereby MKSA has been granted the right to open and operate Milksha® branded stores in California, New York, and Texas in the United States (USA). Franchising opportunities for other locations in the USA outside of the three states are likewise available through Milkshop Japan Inc.

In November 2021, JFC signed a deal to acquire 51 percent of Milkshop International Co. Ltd. (“Milksha”) for USD12.8 million. Milkshop Japan Inc., a Japanese corporation, was part of this acquisition deal. MKSA LLC, a Delaware, USA limited liability company, was formed to be the license holder to open and operate Milksha® branded stores in the USA.

Milksha is positioned as a craveable high quality specialty beverage which gives JFC the opportunity to participate in the fast-growing beverage category globally and, especially, in the USA.

Since the completion of JFC's acquisition of Milksha in February 2022, its store network, which is 93% franchised, has grown by 24% to 327 outlets as of July 2024. The stores are mostly in Taiwan (305) with the rest in Hong Kong (14), Australia (6) and the United Kingdom (2). Through another licensing agreement, covering Philippines, Milksha® branded products are also being sold in around 162 Chowking stores in the Philippines (26% of global Chowking network).

In 2023, Milksha generated ~USD96Mn Systemwide Sales (~30% increase from pre-acquisition period), a healthy Net Profit After Tax margin and an Operating Cash positive position. Further, noteworthy to mention that Milksha delivered cash dividends less than one year from acquisition date. This once again proves JFC’s success in growing and scaling its acquired brands.

At the end of July 2024, the Jollibee Group’s store network increased by 4.8% compared to a year ago. JFC operated 6,965 stores worldwide: Philippines (3,341) and International (3,624): 564 in China, 382 in North America, 357 in EMEA, 797 with Highlands Coffee mainly in Vietnam, 1,197 with CBTL and 327 with Milksha. Its largest brands by store outlets worldwide are Jollibee with 1,702, CBTL 1,197, Highlands Coffee 797 and Chowking 615.
