Restaurant Brands International on Thursday reported quarterly earnings that topped analysts’ expectations, fueled by strong growth for the once struggling Burger King, both domestically and abroad.

“Burger King’s performance is a great example of what’s possible when you invest in the fundamentals and execute well – an approach we’re applying across all of our brands,” Restaurant Brands CEO Josh Kobza said in a statement.

Here’s what the company reported compared with what Wall Street was expecting, based on a survey of analysts by LSEG:

  • Earnings per share: $1.07 adjusted vs. $1.03 expected
  • Revenue: $2.52 billion, in line with expectations

Restaurant Brands reported second-quarter net income attributable to shareholders of $507 million, or $1.45 per share, up from $189 million, or 57 cents per share, a year earlier.

Excluding transaction costs, advisory fees and other items, the company earned $1.07 per share.

Net revenue rose 4.5% to $2.52 billion.

Burger King’s U.S. same-store sales climbed 8.5%. In recent quarters, the burger chain’s turnaround has taken hold in its home market. Restaurant renovations, sharper marketing and a focus on core menu items like the Whopper have helped Burger King steal market share.

Rival McDonald’s reported U.S. same-store sales growth of just 0.8% in its second quarter, for comparison. Executives said that they were disappointed by the performance, and McDonald’s tapped a new U.S. president to help accelerate its sales.

Burger King is also seeing strong results outside of the U.S. Restaurant Brands said international Burger King restaurants saw same-store sales growth of 5.4% during the quarter.

But the rest of Restaurant Brands’ did not fare as well.

Tim Hortons’ same-store sales in Canada and overall were essentially flat for the quarter, while Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen reported U.S. same-store sales declines of 5.2%. The fried chicken chain has struggled in recent quarters as more chains compete for a smaller pool of diners, who have grown increasingly value conscious.

Thousands missing out on Child Trust Fund government money

Kae, who wants to be an actor and is studying performing arts at Coleg Gwent, is urging other young people to check what they may be owed.

“Don’t just leave it and do nothing because you might not receive anything if you don’t look,” he said.

Kae said he had invested his money in an ISA to save for a house in future.

But at first he struggled to find out the details of his CTF because they can be held by a variety of different providers, and in the end used the Share Foundation’s free CTF finder.

“I thought i’d get it automatically but I didn’t hear anything,” he said.

“I thought the government would give it to me but I actually had to get it by myself.”

An estimated £83m is lying unclaimed in Wales alone according to The Share Foundation, a charity that runs accounts for young people in care on behalf of the UK government.

Most CTFs were set up by the child’s parents with a voucher worth £250, or £500 in the case of low-income families, from the UK government.

An additional government payment was made when the child reached the age of seven and family members could also top them up.

In some cases the Welsh government also made a small payment to the funds of Welsh children.

Where parents or guardians didn’t set them up, the CTFs were created by the UK government on the child’s behalf.
