Insights

Financial Analyst

Domino's Pizza exhibits solid growth with a 7.8% increase in U.S. store sales and a 6.8% rise in international store sales, signaling a robust consumer appetite for their offerings. The operational efficiency is reflected in the 18.6% rise in income from operations, with an adjusted 19.4% increase when factoring out foreign currency impacts. This level of operational growth is commendable and suggests the company's 'Hungry for MORE' strategy is yielding fruit. Moreover, such performance may enhance investor confidence in both the company's existing business model and its potential for future expansion.

Supply Chain Analyst

The increase in supply chain revenues indicates effective management in terms of order volumes and cost control. Despite a shift in the product mix and a decrease in food basket pricing to stores by 1.9%, Domino's has managed to improve its supply chain gross margin by 2.1% points. This demonstrates strong procurement strategies that are critical in maintaining profitability amidst market fluctuations. Investors should take note of the company’s ability to leverage its supply chain for improved margins, as it can be a key driver for sustained profitability.

Market Analyst

From a market perspective, Domino's strategic initiatives like the improved Domino's Rewards loyalty program and marketing on Uber Eats are likely to enhance customer loyalty and widen the customer base. Their focus on franchisee profitability and store growth is essential for long-term value creation. The stock’s performance will be influenced by the effectiveness of these efforts, especially as the company has committed to an ambitious goal of 7%+ annual global retail sales growth. Monitoring customer engagement and market penetration through these new channels is vital for investors to gauge the potential impact on future performance.

In Q1 we also went live with marketing on Uber Eats, and we remain on track to exit the year at 3% or MORE of sales coming through this new channel.

• Revenues increased $60.2 million, or 5.9%, in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher supply chain revenues and U.S. franchise royalties and fees, as well as higher U.S. Company-owned store revenues. The increase in supply chain revenues was attributable to higher order volumes, partially offset by a shift in the relative mix of the products sold by the Company and a decrease in the Company's food basket pricing to stores. The Company's food basket pricing to stores decreased 1.9% during the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2023. U.S. franchise royalties and fees benefited from an increase in fees paid by U.S. franchisees for the use of the Company's technology platforms, in addition to higher same store sales and net store growth. U.S. Company-owned store revenues increased due to higher same store sales.
   
• U.S. Company-owned store gross margin increased 0.6 percentage points in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily driven by a decrease in the Company's food basket pricing to stores which drove lower food costs, as well as sales leverage which was primarily driven by higher customer transaction counts. These improvements were partially offset by increased labor costs as a result of higher wage rates.
   
• Supply chain gross margin increased 2.1 percentage points in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2023, due to lower food costs resulting from procurement productivity and a decrease in the cost of the Company's food basket, as well as slightly lower delivery costs.
   
• Income from operations increased $32.9 million, or 18.6%, in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2023. Excluding the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates on international franchise royalty revenues of $1.4 million, income from operations increased $34.3 million, or 19.4%, in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2023. These increases were due primarily to higher U.S. franchise royalties and fees, as well as gross margin improvement within supply chain, each as discussed above.
   
• Net income increased $21.1 million, or 20.1%, in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2023, due primarily to higher income from operations, as discussed above. Additionally, the Company's provision for income taxes decreased $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2024 due to a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by higher income before provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate decreased to 15.9% during the first quarter of 2024 as compared to 21.4% in the first quarter of 2023, driven by a 5.6 percentage point change in the impact of excess tax benefits from equity-based compensation, which is recorded as a reduction to the provision for income taxes. These increases in net income were partially offset by an $18.7 million pre-tax unrealized loss associated with the remeasurement of the Company's investment in DPC Dash Ltd which was recorded in other expense in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income.
   
• Diluted EPS was $3.58 in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to $2.93 in the first quarter of 2023, representing a $0.65, or 22.2%, increase. This increase was driven by higher net income, as well as a lower weighted average diluted share count, resulting from the Company's share repurchases during the trailing four quarters.
   
• Net cash provided by operating activities was $123.5 million in 2024 as compared to $114.7 million in 2023. The Company spent $20.2 million on capital expenditures during 2024, as compared to $19.0 million during 2023, resulting in free cash flow of $103.3 million in 2024 as compared to $95.7 million in 2023. The increase in free cash flow was a result of higher net income, excluding non-cash operating activities, partially offset by the negative impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities, payments for advertising activities outpacing receipts from advertising contributions and higher investments in capital expenditures.

Quarterly Dividend

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2024, on April 25, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors declared a $1.51 per share quarterly dividend on its outstanding common stock for shareholders of record as of June 14, 2024, to be paid on June 28, 2024.

Share Repurchases

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased and retired 56,372 shares of common stock for a total of $25.0 million. As of March 24, 2024, the Company had a total remaining authorized amount for share repurchases of $1.12 billion.

Change in Advertising Fund Contributions and Technology Fees

As previously announced, as of March 27, 2023, Domino's National Advertising Fund Inc., the Company's consolidated not-for-profit advertising subsidiary, effectuated a temporary reduction of 0.25% to its standard 6.0% advertising contribution rate, which expired at the beginning of the second quarter of 2024, on March 25, 2024.

Additionally, as of March 25, 2024, the Company decreased the U.S. digital per-transaction technology fees that are recognized as the related U.S. franchise retail sales occur by $0.04 to $0.355.

Long-Term Guidance (2024 – 2028)

The Company continues to expect to achieve the following long-term guidance metrics previously announced. Annual global retail sales growth and annual income from operations growth exclude the impact of foreign currency.

• 7%+ Annual global retail sales growth;
   
• 1,100+ Annual global net store growth; and
   
• 8%+ Annual income from operations growth.

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 income from operations, excluding foreign currency impact. The Company has also included metrics such as global retail sales, global retail sales growth (excluding foreign currency impact), same store sales growth, net store growth, food basket pricing change, impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on international franchise royalty revenues and the leverage ratio, 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 and believes they are indicative of the financial health of the Company's franchisee base. In addition, supply chain revenues are directly impacted by changes in franchise retail sales in the U.S. and Canada. As a result, sales by Domino's franchisees have a direct effect on the Company's profitability. 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 U.S. Dollar global retail sales against the comparable period of the prior year. "Global retail sales growth, excluding foreign currency impact" is calculated as the change of international local currency global retail sales against the comparable period of the prior year. The 2024 global retail sales growth measures excluding the Russia market are calculated as the growth in retail sales excluding the retail sales from the Russia market from the 2023 retail sales base. Changes in global retail sales growth, excluding foreign currency impact, are primarily driven by same store sales growth and net store growth.

The Company uses "Same store sales growth," a statistical measure, which is calculated by including only retail sales from stores that also had sales in the comparable weeks of both periods. International same store sales growth is calculated similarly to U.S. same store sales growth. Changes in international same store sales are reported excluding foreign currency impacts, which reflect changes in international local currency sales. Same store sales growth for transferred stores is reflected in their current classification.

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 "Food basket pricing change," a statistical measure, which is calculated as the percentage change of the food basket (including both food and cardboard products) purchased by an average U.S. store (based on average weekly unit sales) from U.S. supply chain centers against the comparable period of the prior year. The Company believes that the food basket pricing change is important to investors and other interested persons to understand the Company's performance. As food basket prices fluctuate, revenues, cost of sales and gross margin percentages in the Company's supply chain segment also fluctuate. Additionally, cost of sales, gross margins and gross margin percentages for the Company's U.S. Company-owned stores also fluctuate.

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 "Income from operations, excluding foreign currency impact," which is calculated as income from operations as reported under GAAP, less the "impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on international franchise royalty revenues," a statistical measure. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is income from operations. The impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on international franchise royalty revenues is calculated as the difference in international franchise royalty revenues resulting from translating current period local currency results to U.S. dollars at current period exchange rates as compared to prior period exchange rates. The Company believes that the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on international franchise royalty revenues is important to investors and other interested persons to understand the Company's international royalty revenues given the significant variability in those revenues and that can be driven by changes in foreign currency exchanges rates. International franchise royalty revenues do not have a cost of sales component, so changes in these revenues have a direct impact on income from operations.

The Company uses the "Leverage ratio¹," which is calculated as the Company's securitized debt related to its fixed-rate notes from the recapitalizations completed in 2021, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2015 and borrowings under its variable funding notes, divided by Segment Income as defined by the Company under Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting on a trailing four quarters basis. The Company has historically operated with a leverage ratio between four and six times. The Company reviews its leverage ratio on at least a quarterly basis and believes its leverage ratio is important to investors and other interested persons to understand the capital structure of the Company, and to assess the ability of the Company to meet its financial obligations.

The reconciliation of the leverage ratio for the first quarters of 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

		March 24, 2024				March 26, 2023
2015 Ten-Year Notes		$	742,000			$	750,000
2017 Ten-Year Notes			940,000				950,000
2018 7.5-Year Notes			402,688				406,938
2018 9.25-Year Notes			379,000				383,000
2019 Ten-Year Notes			648,000				654,750
2021 7.5-Year Notes			826,625				835,125
2021 Ten-Year Notes			972,500				982,500
Total fixed-rate notes		$	4,910,813			$	4,962,313
Segment Income - first quarter of 2024 and 2023		$	241,843			$	203,615
Segment Income - fourth quarter of 2023 and 2022			294,600				260,328
Segment Income - third quarter of 2023 and 2022			217,287				201,264
Segment Income - second quarter of 2023 and 2022			223,618				204,957
Trailing four quarters Segment Income		$	977,348			$	870,164
Leverage ratio			5.0	x			5.7	x

(1)		The Company also calculates and reviews its senior leverage ratio and Holdco leverage ratio as defined in the indenture governing the Company's securitized debt.

Russia Market

On August 21, 2023, the Company's master franchisee that owned and operated Domino's Pizza stores in Russia announced its intent to file for bankruptcy with respect to the stores in that market. Therefore, as of August 21, 2023, the Company has considered the stores in the Russia market to be closed and they are excluded from the Company's ending store count as of the end of the third quarter of 2023. The Company has disclosed its statistical measure of net store growth for the trailing four quarters including and excluding the impact of the closure of the Russia market. Additionally, the Company has presented its statistical measure of global retail sales growth, excluding foreign currency impact, for the first quarter of 2024 excluding the impact of the retail sales from the Russia market. The Company believes the impact of the Russia market on its statistical measure of global retail sales growth, excluding foreign currency impact, for the first quarter of 2023 was immaterial and prior amounts have not been adjusted to conform to the current year presentation. The Company believes the impact of the Russia market on its statistical measure of same store sales growth for the periods presented was immaterial, and it also believes the impact of the Russia market on its consolidated statements of income related to international franchise royalties and fee revenues and general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2023 was immaterial.
