Burger King Worldwide Inc reported a better-than-expected third-quarter profit as it slashed costs by franchising more outlets and sales grew outside North America.
The third-largest U.S. hamburger chain, behind McDonald's Corp and Wendy's Co, said expenses fell about 90 percent, mainly because it refranchised more than 500 restaurants in the past year.
