Arcos Dorados’ $126.8 Million EBITDA Breakthrough — Brazil Leads The Margin Push!

Arcos Dorados reported strong financial and operational results for the second quarter of 2026 amid challenging macroeconomic and consumer environments across its markets. Total revenue increased by over 14% year-over-year in U.S. dollar terms to $1.3 billion, marking the highest quarterly revenue in the company’s history. This growth was driven by solid market share gains, with guest traffic up approximately 0.5 points compared to the same quarter last year, robust digital sales penetration (which grew more than 25% and accounted for roughly two-thirds of overall sales), and successful marketing activations including exclusive FIFA World Cup sponsorships. Profitability measures similarly improved. Adjusted EBITDA rose by more than 20% to $126.8 million, accompanied by a margin expansion of 70 basis points (excluding a prior-year benefit).
