The company's same store growth (SSG) was reported at negative 7.5% in Q4 March 2017 compared with a growth of 2.9% in Q4 March 2016.

Q4 revenue was impacted by demonetization during January-February 2017, its impact was partly offset by the increase in online ordering sales and incremental revenue due to addition of new restaurants, the company said in a statement.

Negative SSG and increase in cost primarily on account of expansion resulted in reduction in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). Higher depreciation related to network expansion also impacted net profit in Q4. Earnings reflect the impact of exceptional items of Rs 12.17 crore related to one time separation cost incurred as part of manpower rationalization exercise carried out by the company during the quarter.
