The JFC Group operates restaurants in 34 countries, the largest of which in terms of
contribution to system-wide sales, a measure of all sales to consumers- both from
company-owned and franchised stores, are the Philippines, the United States of America including Canada, China and Vietnam. The impact of COVID-19 to the operations of restaurants varies quite significantly at different countries and changing on a daily basis. In the Philippines, in a move to contain the COVID-19 outbreak, on March 13, 2020, the Office of the President of the Philippines issued a Memorandum directive to impose stringent social distancing measures in the National Capital Region effective March 15, 2020. On March 16, 2020, Presidential Proclamation No. 929 was issued, declaring a State of Calamity throughout the Philippines for a period of six (6) months and imposed an enhanced community quarantine throughout the island of Luzon until April 12, 2020, unless earlier lifted or extended. These measures have caused disruptions to businesses and economic activities, and its impact on businesses continue to evolve. About 70% of JFC Group’s domestic stores have been temporarily closed, resulting to a decline in system wide sales.
