NEW YORK (Reuters) - Burger King Holdings Inc reported a lower quarterly profit, hurt by declining restaurant sales worldwide and unfavorable foreign exchange rates, and the fast-food chain forecast its business would remain under pressure.
Burger King, known as the home of the Whopper, had net income of $49 million, or 36 cents a share, for the fiscal fourth quarter ended June 30, down from $58.9 million, or 44 cents a share, a year earlier.
Revenue slipped 1 percent to $623 million.
Worldwide sales at restaurants open at least 13 months were down 0.7 percent, driven by a 1.5 percent drop in the United States and Canada.
