- Revenues increased
, or$13.2 million 1.3% , in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher supply chain revenues attributable to increases in market basket pricing to stores. The Company's market basket pricing to stores increased4.6% during the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022.U.S. franchise royalties and fees andU.S. franchise advertising revenues also increased due to the refranchising of 114U.S. Company -owned stores inArizona andUtah in the fourth quarter of 2022 (the "2022 Store Sale"), a higher average ticket per transaction resulting primarily from increases in menu and national offer pricing and an increase in fees paid byU.S. franchisees for the use of the Company's technology platforms. International franchise royalties and fees increased due to international retail sales growth (excluding foreign currency impact) of6.5% and were partially offset by the negative impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates of approximately . These increases in revenues were partially offset by lower$4.3 million U.S. Company -owned store revenues as a result of the 2022 Store Sale. - Income from Operations increased
, or$12.9 million 7.9% , in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022 primarily due to higher franchise revenues, as well as lower general and administrative expenses. - Net Income increased
, or$13.8 million 15.2% , in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022 primarily due to higher income from operations of . Lower net interest expense resulting from higher interest income on cash equivalents also contributed to the increase in net income. These increases were partially offset by an increase in the provision for income taxes of$12.9 million in the first quarter of 2023 due to higher income before provision for income taxes, partially offset by a lower effective tax rate. The effective tax rate decreased to$1.8 million 21.4% during the first quarter of 2023 as compared to22.7% in the first quarter of 2022, driven in part by a higher foreign derived intangible income deduction and higher foreign tax credits. - Diluted EPS was
in the first quarter of 2023 versus$2.93 in the first quarter of 2022, representing a$2.50 , or$0.43 17.2% , increase over the prior year quarter. The increase in diluted EPS was driven by higher net income in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022, as well as a lower weighted average diluted share count, resulting from the Company's share repurchases during the trailing four quarters.

Comments on Regulation G
In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release, the Company has included non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G, including free cash flow and the effective tax rate, excluding tax benefits or deficiencies from equity-based compensation. The Company has also included metrics such as global retail sales, global retail sales growth, global retail sales growth, excluding foreign currency impact, same store sales growth, market basket pricing change and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on international franchise royalty revenues which are commonly used statistical measures in the quick-service restaurant industry that are important to understanding Company performance.
The Company uses "Global retail sales," a statistical measure, to refer to total worldwide retail sales at Company-owned and franchise stores. The Company believes global retail sales information is useful in analyzing revenues because franchisees pay royalties and advertising fees that are based on a percentage of franchise retail sales. The Company reviews comparable industry global retail sales information to assess business trends and to track the growth of the Domino's Pizza brand. In addition, supply chain revenues are directly impacted by changes in franchise retail sales. Retail sales for franchise stores are reported to the Company by its franchisees and are not included in Company revenues. "Global retail sales growth" is calculated as the change of
The Company uses "Same store sales growth," a statistical measure, which is calculated by including only sales from stores that also had sales in the comparable weeks of both periods. International same store sales growth is calculated similarly to
The Company uses "Net store growth," a statistical measure, which is calculated by netting gross store openings with gross store closures during the period. Transfers between Company-owned stores and franchised stores are excluded from the calculation of net store growth.
The Company uses "Market basket pricing change," a statistical measure, which is calculated as the percentage change of the market basket purchased by an average
The Company uses "Impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on international franchise royalty revenues," a statistical measure, which is calculated as the difference in international franchise royalty revenues resulting from translating current period local currency results to
The Company uses "Free cash flow," which is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures, both as reported under GAAP. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is net cash provided by operating activities. The Company believes that the free cash flow measure is important to investors and other interested persons, and that such persons benefit from having a measure which communicates how much cash flow is available for working capital needs or to be used for repurchasing debt, making acquisitions, repurchasing common stock or paying dividends.
The Company uses the "Effective tax rate, excluding excess tax benefits or deficiencies from equity-based compensation," which is calculated as the Company's provision for income taxes, less excess tax benefits or deficiencies from equity-based compensation, both as reported under GAAP, divided by the Company's income before provision for income taxes, as reported under GAAP. Excess tax benefits or deficiencies from equity-based compensation are recorded as a reduction (increase) to the Company's provision for income taxes. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is the effective tax rate. The Company believes that the effective tax rate, excluding excess tax benefits or deficiencies from equity-based compensation is important to investors and other interested persons to understand the Company's effective tax rate excluding the significant variability in the effective tax rate that can be driven by changes in stock award activity from period to period.
