Commenting on the results, Andrew Rennie, CEO said:

"Against a more difficult market backdrop, Domino's is significantly
increasing its market share by offering great value, innovative products and
even faster delivery times. This is a result of a relentless focus from our
colleagues and franchise partners, and I'd like to thank them all for their
hard work.

"There's no getting away from the fact that the market has become tougher both
for us and our franchisees, and that's meant that the positive performance
across the first four months didn't continue into May and June. Given weaker
consumer confidence, increased employment costs and uncertainty ahead of the
Autumn Statement, franchisees are taking a more cautious approach to store
openings for the time being.

"Despite these near-term challenges we remain confident in our strategy and
the prospects for our resilient, market-leading business. That confidence is
demonstrated by our decision to increase the interim dividend, and we also
continue to assess a range of accretive growth opportunities."

 

Current trading and outlook

We have seen total orders and like-for-like sales improve towards the end of
July after a softer start due to the tough comparator period with the Men's
Euro 2024 knockout stages. Consumer confidence remains weak impacting sales
growth, and with employment costs increasing and the uncertainty ahead of the
Autumn Statement, we now expect FY25 Underlying EBITDA to be in the range of
£130m to £140m(8).

We remain confident that our investments in key areas such as our loyalty
programme and automation, as well as our growth ambitions in Ireland, will
deliver sustainable growth and returns going forward.

 

Our technical guidance for FY25 is as follows:

·      Underlying depreciation & amortisation of between £20m to
£23m

·      Underlying interest (excluding foreign exchange movements) in the
range of £17m to £19m

·      Estimated underlying effective tax rate of c.25% for the full
year

·      Capital investment of c.£22m

·      Net debt at year-end between £260m and £280m

Notes

1.     H1 25 is the 26 weeks to 29 June 2025. H1 24 is the 26 weeks to 30
June 2024

2.     System sales represent the sum of all sales made by both franchised
and corporate stores to consumers in UK & Ireland. These are excluding VAT
and are unaudited.

3.     Underlying is defined as statutory performance excluding items
classified as non-underlying which includes significant irregular costs,
significant impairments of assets and other costs associated with acquisitions
and disposals as set out in note 4 to the financial information.

For H1 25, underlying excludes reacquired right amortisation of  £3.0m and
£0.2m in strategy costs, which represent legal and professional fees of
£1.7m offset with a fair value gain of £1.5m on the remeasurement of the
original 46% Victa DP investment prior to acquiring control. Taxation credit
of £0.1m.

4.     Like-for-like (excluding splits) system sales performance is
calculated for UK & Ireland against a comparable period in the prior
period for mature stores which were not in territories split in the current
period or comparable period. Mature stores are defined as those opened prior
to 31 December 2023. Excluding splits means that stores which have lost
delivery territory to enable a new store opening are not included in
like-for-like system sales.

5.     Copyright © Kantar UK Limited 2025.  All use is subject to Kantar
UK Limited's terms and conditions. Kantar shall not be liable for any loss
howsoever arising from or in connection with the interpretation of, or any
action taken by it based on, any conclusions, findings or recommendations

charges, expenses or liabilities (or actions, investigations or other
proceedings in respect thereof) whether direct or indirect, arising from or in
connection of the Syndicated Services being provided and used beyond the
Client's internal use.

6.     The Group successfully amended and extended the RCF facility in
July 2025, increasing the available facility to £300m and extending the
facility to July 2030. The unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility
incurs interest at a margin over SONIA of between 165bps and 265bps depending
on leverage, plus a utilisation fee of between 0bps and 30bps of the aggregate
amount of the outstanding loans. The previous RCF incurred a margin over SONIA
of between 185bps and 285bps.

7.     In March 2025, DPG purchased an additional 24% in Victa DP Ltd for
£25.5m (£7.0m equity, £18.5m debt funding), our joint venture in Northern
Ireland, bringing DPG's shareholding to 70%.

8.     Current mean of FY25 Underlying EBITDA expectations is £146.1m
with a range of £140.8m - £149.2m. Based on 9 analysts' forecasts.

H1 25 performance review - market share gains in a tougher market

System sales were up 1.3% to £777.8m and like-for-like sales, excluding
splits, were down 0.1%, with positive performance in Q1 offset by a 0.7%
decline in Q2. Delivery orders grew in Q1 but weakened in Q2 in line with the
wider market. Pleasingly, collection orders returned to growth in Q2, after
five consecutive quarters of decline, driven by our first ever national
advertising campaign highlighting the value in the collection channel.

We made significant market share gains in H1 25 in a tougher market. DPG's
share of the UK takeaway market(5) increased by 20 basis points to 7.2% and
our share of the UK pizza takeaway market(5) increased by 560 basis points to
53.7%(.)

Underlying(3) EBITDA was £63.9m, down 7.4% driven primarily by lower supply
chain volumes.

Statutory profit before tax was £40.5m, down 31.8%, substantially driven by
the one off profit of £11.2m from the disposal of the London corporate stores
in H1 24 and lower Underlying EBITDA.

Underlying profit after tax reduced by 14.7% to £33.0m, with Underlying
earnings per share down 14.3% to 8.4p reflecting the lower number of shares in
issue following share buyback programmes executed in FY24.

Underlying free cash flow generated by the business was £28.7m, a small
decrease from £32.7m in H1 24, primarily due to lower underlying EBITDA,
increased interest payments and a working capital outflow which is largely
expected to reverse in H2 25.

The Board has declared an interim dividend of 3.6p per share, a 2.9% increase
vs. H1 24.

 

Continued Strategic progress

We have a clear strategy to create value for shareholders and maximise the
value of our strong market position and key competitive advantages in a
capital disciplined manner.

 

Pillar 1: Maximising value in the UK & Ireland business

We have 1,381 stores across the UK & Ireland with around 95% operated by
our franchise partners and our first strategic priority is to maximise the
value in this core business.

We do this by growing system order volume, maximising profit through
efficiency both within DPG and our franchise network and close alignment with
our franchise partners.

Increasing our customers' order frequency and opening stores are the two
primary drivers of growing the total order count.

 

Grow order volume - increasing frequency through digital, service, loyalty,
innovation

Our c.13m customers order on average 4.3 times a year. We have c.9m customers
who now order on our app and c.75% of all digital orders are placed on the
app. Our technology platform enables us to interact with our customers and
tailor offers in a far more targeted manner, leveraging our customer base in a
compelling way. This is a key driver in growing system order volume.

We pride ourselves on giving outstanding customer service and constantly
strive to make continuous improvements. Once again average delivery times
improved across the UK, reducing by half a minute to 24.1 minutes. This is a
direct result of intense focus from our franchise partners with outstanding
support and training from DPG's operations team. We believe that giving
customers consistently fast delivery times is a key competitive advantage and
a driver of growing frequency and system volume.

We are the largest Quick Service Restaurant ("QSR") in the UK without a
loyalty programme and we continue to make good progress with our trial. It is
important that this is done effectively to ensure that it is profitable for
both DPG and our franchise partners and enhances our value proposition for our
customers.

The first trial of our loyalty programme began in August 2024 performed ahead
of our expectations, driving incremental orders. We have now moved to a second
phase trial with c.3m customers invited to participate. So far c.1m customers
have signed up. Order incrementality across both low, medium and high
frequency cohorts continues to perform ahead of expectations and we are
progressing well with capabilities to advance on this trial further. We
continue to target a full roll out in FY26.

Innovation continues to be important in growing volumes and to differentiate
us from our competitors. We bring fresh experiences and on trend flavours to
our menu, giving customers a reason to keep choosing us. Early in H1 we again
delighted customers with our Domino's Cookies with Crème Egg for Easter and
brought back a fan favourite with the Ultimate Chicken Mexicana. We have
recently seen exceptional demand for our Ultimate Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza
and have some even more exciting flavours to come in the second half of the
year as we tap into trends and bring new products to seasonal occasions.

Our partnerships with aggregators Just Eat and Uber Eats continue to serve us
well. We started the roll-out on Just Eat in 2022 and Uber Eats in 2024 and
both have delivered incremental customers and orders. We will continue our
unique operating model with orders sourced through the aggregator platforms
but the order is delivered to the customer using the outstanding Domino's
delivery drivers. Presence on Uber Eats complements our existing partnership
with Just Eat, with Uber Eats performing well in London, the South and major
city centre locations.

 

Grow system order volume - new store openings

New store openings continue to be a driver of growth and we remain
under-penetrated compared to large QSR competitors in the UK and also other
successful, international Domino's systems.

At the start of FY24, we undertook a detailed review of the growth potential
in the UK & Ireland and identified opportunities across new territories as
well as splitting existing geographies. Since our review, the UK & Ireland
operating environment has become tougher through increased employment costs,
weaker consumer confidence and a slow planning system. And, as a result, so
far in 2025 we have opened 11 new stores with 9 different franchise partners.
FY25 new store openings now expected to be mid-twenties, with a healthy
pipeline for 2026.

Despite this short-term slowdown, we continue to see opportunity in smaller
address count territories. These territories often have limited competition,
our strong national brand is a significant competitive advantage, and we
believe there remains over 400 available territories with less than 10,000
addresses. Since the start of 2024 we have opened 20 stores in territories
with less than 10,000 addresses. All of the 20 stores have average sales per
address greater than the national average.

 

Maximise profit through efficiency - outstanding national supply chain and
procurement

Our supply chain is the backbone of our system. It is the primary driver of
the Group's revenue and EBITDA and its very high service levels are vital in
helping our franchise partners remain competitive.

We have consistently invested in the supply chain over the last 40 years and
now have four supply chain centres ("SCC's") in Milton Keynes, Warrington,
Cambuslang and Naas. These SCCs deliver goods to our 1,381 stores three times
a week and in H1 25 maintained 99.96% accuracy and 99.99% availability. These
results are testament to the expertise and dedication of all our colleagues in
the supply chain.

We have started the process for building our fifth SCC in Avonmouth. This will
underpin the future expansion of the system with increased warehouse &
distribution capacity, allow for more efficient deliveries to stores in the
Southwest and South Wales, and free up capacity in the other mainland UK SCCs.

We constantly assess ways to improve the efficiency of our supply chain
operation. Over the last four years we have made efficiency gains with the
roll out of cages and dollies as a delivery platform across the system. We
have also improved the efficiency of our transport operations, the largest
cost base in the supply chain. In 2024 we made c.14,000 more deliveries to
stores with the same size fleet as in 2022 driven by route optimisation
software.

The next area where we see attractive efficiencies is automation within our
warehouses. We have started a number of automation projects which will improve
margins and also expand our capacity within our existing SCCs. These projects
include automated de-boxing of goods arriving at the SCCs, storage and
picking. and automated dough mixing. In addition, we are increasing automation
levels in dough production, including the use of a robot technology at our SCC
in Cambuslang. We expect automation projects to start benefitting DPG in 2026
and from 2028 we expect c.10% annual labour cost efficiency across the supply
chain mitigating inflationary cost increases in our supply chain centre
operations.

We have a world-class procurement function and are able to secure attractive
pricing for our franchise partners across all ingredients and supplies. Our
ERP system has been successfully rolled out across all our SCCs and combined
with our procurement excellence we believe these will continue to help improve
margins.

 

Franchisee partnership - winning together

Our franchise partners are operating in a tougher environment with increased
employment costs and weaker consumer confidence.

Having faced a 10% minimum wage increase in H1 24, our franchise partners
faced a further significant labour cost increase in H1 25. As a result,
franchise partner profitability declined in H1. Average UK store EBITDA
(unaudited) in H1 25 was down 5% to £77k (H1 24: £81k), generating a 13%
EBITDA margin (H1 24: 14%).

In December 2024 we agreed a five-year Profitability & Growth Framework
("PGF") to ensure alignment and drive growth. We continue to work with
franchise partners to create cost efficiencies through procurement and best
practice sharing.

 

Pillar 2: Driving growth in Ireland

Ireland currently is a significant revenue growth opportunity as we are
underpenetrated compared to England, Scotland and Wales. Over the last two
years we have implemented key strategic actions to support this growth.

Firstly, we invested in the Supply Chain Centre in Naas so that we have
capacity to support the growth and maintain the current levels of outstanding
service as we and our franchise partners grow the estate.

In April 2024 we acquired full control of Shorecal, the largest Domino's
franchise business in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, operating
34 stores. This, alongside growth from our franchise partners, enabled us to
deliver a record year of store openings in 2024, double the previous record.

In March 2025 we purchased an additional 24% of Victa DP Ltd, our joint
venture in Northern Ireland, bringing DPG's shareholding to 70%. This is
consistent with our strategy of unlocking growth in Northern Ireland and
Republic of Ireland following the acquisition of Shorecal and the investment
in the Ireland supply chain centre.

We are the number one pizza delivery company in Ireland and market dynamics
are attractive. There is a clear opportunity to give customers increasingly
good value, particularly in the Dublin area. Within Shorecal, we have
delivered value to customers through targeted promotions and there remains an
opportunity to bring these value offers across Ireland.

There is no change to our capital light model and we continue to evaluate our
corporate store portfolio. We are now in an even stronger position to
accelerate our growth, open new stores, and provide great service and great
tasting products to our customers.

 

Pillar 3: Accretive second brand opportunities

We continue to explore second brand options, where we can leverage the scale
and unique capabilities of the Group and deliver attractive returns to
shareholders.

We have a c.13m active customer base, an outstanding national supply chain
which already delivers to 1,381 stores and the necessary digital, IT &
marketing capability, alongside world-class franchise partners.

The Board is rigorous in applying guardrails to potential opportunities. Any
acquisition would need to have a significant growth runway, synergies with
DPG's assets, the potential to be a strong national brand and be profitable.
Above all, a potential opportunity must be earnings accretive to DPG and the
Board applies strict internal hurdle rates.

We are focusing on opportunities which are in line with our guardrails and no
opportunities under current consideration would require equity issuance.
Whilst a second brand remains a core part of the strategy, if no acquisition
is announced by the end of 2025, the Board expects to resume share buybacks.

 

Capital discipline

Domino's is a highly cash generative business and we will continue to apply
our four-point capital allocation framework, introduced in March 2021, to
deploy free cashflow generated by the business and recycled capital from
divestments.

Investment to drive growth in the core UK & Ireland business remains our
number one priority and we invested £8.5m in capital expenditure in H1 25.
This was focused on supply chain automation projects and the initial work on
our new supply chain centre in Avonmouth.

Secondly, in line with our commitment to pay a sustainable and progressive
dividend, we will pay an interim dividend of 3.6p per share, an increase of
2.9% vs. H1 24.

Thirdly, as previously outlined, we continue to assess accretive opportunities
for a second brand, where we can leverage the scale and capabilities of the
Group and deliver attractive returns to shareholders.

Finally, operating within a normalised leverage range of 1.5x - 2.5x net debt
to Underlying EBITDA, we remain committed to returning any surplus cash to
shareholders. Net debt was £306.6m at June 2025, with leverage of 2.32x.

 

Sustainability strategy

In the first half of 2025, we made further progress in our sustainability
journey at Domino's. We published our updated Sustainability Report, which
provides an overview of our progress in 2024 and introduced a set of
streamlined priorities, chosen for both risk mitigation and our potential for
positive impact, these are: emissions reduction, balanced choices and modern
slavery risk mitigation. Fleet emissions contribute 85% of our Scope 1
emissions and we have made great strides against our priorities to reduce
this: we are now operating several electric trucks in the fleet with more
deliveries due later in the year. We are also collaborating with key
suppliers, who account for 65% of our total Scope 3 purchased goods and
services emissions, to drive reductions. Under our nutrition strategy, we are
working to expand our lighter menu. Following the successful rollout of Cheeky
Little Pizzas, we launched under 400 calorie Thin & Crispy and under 600
calorie personal options, plus two new vegetable sides which are under 200
calories. We have appointed our first nutritionist who is working with our
suppliers on how to approach reformulation to increase our range of HFSS
compliant offers. Finally, we continue strengthening our modern slavery risk
mitigation processes through Sedex, supplier audits and the EQS system rolled
out across all colleagues and Shorecal stores; rollout to franchisees is
targeted for later this year.

 

H1 25 trading summary

System sales represent all sales made by both franchised and corporate stores
to customers. Total system sales were £777.8m, up 1.3% on H1 24.
Like-for-like system sales across UK & Ireland were down 0.1%, with the
positive performance in Q1 25 more than offset by like-for-like sales
declining 0.7% in Q2.

* Like-for-like (excluding splits) system sales performance is calculated for
UK & Ireland against a comparable period in the prior period for mature

period. Mature stores are defined as those opened prior to 31 December 2023.

 

Total orders were flat compared to H1 24. Delivery orders were down 0.6% with
a soft performance in Q2 driven by a weaker market. Collection orders returned
to growth in Q2 after five consecutive quarters of decline and were up 1.0% in
H1 25. This recovery was driven by DPG's first ever national advertising
campaign highlighting the value in the Collection channel. We still believe
Collection orders have the potential to be c.50% of total orders in the long
term, currently at c.35%.

Financial review

·      The Group successfully completed the acquisition of a controlling
stake in Victa DP which is now fully consolidated into our results.

·      Underlying EBITDA was £63.9m, down £5.1m, primarily driven by
lower supply chain centre EBITDA of £4.8m and a £4.3m increase in net
overheads, partially offset by lower technology costs of £2.0m and full year
corporate store benefit of £1.7m.

·      Underlying EBIT decreased by £7.0m to £53.1m due to lower
EBITDA and higher depreciation and amortisation following investment in the
business in previous years.

·      Underlying profit before tax of £43.7m, a decrease of £7.6m,
which includes net finance costs of £9.4m, an increase of £0.6m on the
previous year due to increased interest on the Group's debt facilities as a
result of higher average net debt.

·      Underlying profit after tax of £33.0m, a decrease of £5.7m on
H1 24. This includes taxation of £10.7m, down from £12.6m.

·      Non-underlying loss after tax of £3.1m includes £3.0m
amortisation of reacquired rights, £1.7m strategy related costs offset by a
£1.5m fair value gain on the deemed disposal of the Group's equity investment
in Victa DP prior to obtaining controlling shareholding in March 2025.

·      Statutory profit after tax was £29.9m, a decrease of £12.4m
from H1 24, largely due to the one-off profit on disposal of the London
Corporate stores recognised in the prior period.

·      Free cash flow before non-underlying items decreased by £4.0m to
£28.7m, primarily due to lower underlying EBITDA, increased interest payments
and a working capital outflow.

·      Capital allocation items of £66.7m includes capital expenditure
of £8.5m, dividend distributions of £29.4m and the acquisition of Victa DP
of £25.5m.

·      Overall net debt increased by £21.2m, resulting in a pre-IFRS 16
leverage ratio of 2.32x up from 2.16x in H1 24, which is expected to reduce by
year end.

·      Interim dividend of 3.6p per share to be paid on 26 September
2025 to shareholders on the register as at 15 August 2025.

Reported Revenue

Our key metric for measuring the revenue performance of the Group is system
sales, rather than our Group revenue. System sales are the total sales to end
customers through our network of stores, for both franchise partners and
corporate stores. Our Group revenue consists of food and non-food sales to
franchise partners, royalties paid by franchise partners, contributions into
the National Advertising Fund ('NAF') and ecommerce funds, rental income and
end-customer sales in our corporate stores.

Within our Group revenue, the volatility of food wholesale prices, together
with the combination of different revenue items, means that analysis of margin
generated by the Group is less comparable than an analysis based on system
sales. We consider that system sales provide a useful alternative analysis
over time of the health and growth of the business.

Reported system sales in the period were £777.8m, up 1.3% from H1 24.

The table below shows the Group's reported revenue:

 Total                                331.5           326.8

 

Reported revenue increased by £4.7m to £331.5m, primarily driven by an
increase in Corporate Stores revenue offset by a decrease in supply chain
revenue due to lower volumes.

Royalty, rental and other revenues primarily relate to the royalty revenue we
receive from our franchise partners based on a percentage of system sales and
rental income.

Revenue for our directly operated corporate stores increased by £12.0m due to
increased revenue from Shorecal in the period and the acquisition of Victa DP
on 10 March 2025. Revenue from Shorecal in the period includes a full half
year contribution when compared to the prior period which includes a revenue
contribution from 10 April 2024.

NAF and ecommerce revenue is recognised based on costs incurred which
increased to £42.6m during the period.

 

Underlying EBITDA

The Group generated an underlying EBITDA of £63.9m, a decrease of £5.1m on
H1 24 which is primarily driven by a decrease in supply chain centre EBITDA of
£4.8m partly due to lower volumes and a £4.3m increase in net overheads
which includes investment in skills and capabilities.

This is offset by £2.0m lower technology costs due to successful roll out of
the Group's ERP system, and £1.7m net corporate store benefit from a full
half year of trading. EBITDA from royalties increased by £0.2m as a result of
increased system sales in the period,

 

 

 

 

 

Interest

Net underlying finance costs in the period increased by £0.6m to £9.4m,
which includes interest on net debt of £8.5m and net lease interest payable
of £0.9m.

In June 2024, the Group increased its debt facilities with an additional
£100m in Private Placement Loan Notes due in 2034 at a fixed rate of 5.97%,
which largely replaced the Group's variable rate borrowings. In addition, in
July 2025 the Group extended the RCF facility as set out in the Treasury
Management section below. The Group currently has combined debt facilities of
£600m.

Taxation

The underlying effective tax rate for H1 2025 was 24.5% (H1 24: 24.6%). The
decrease in the effective tax rate was due to a one-off adjustment made in the
prior year to reflect historical services provided between our UK and Irish
subsidiary.

Underlying profit after tax decreased to £33.0m driven by a decrease in
underlying EBIT combined with higher net finance costs offset by a decrease in
the underlying tax charge outlined above.

Non-underlying items

Non-underlying loss after tax of £3.1m include a £3.0m amortisation charge
incurred on reacquired rights recognised upon the acquisition of Shorecal and
Victa DP.

Costs associated with our strategy of £0.2m were recognised, which represents
legal and professional fees of £1.7m offset with a fair value gain of £1.5m
recognised on the deemed disposal of the Group's equity investment in the
Northern Ireland Joint Venture prior to obtaining a 70% controlling interest.

In H1 24, a non-underlying profit after tax of £3.6m was recognised. This
included a £11.2m profit on disposal of the corporate stores offset with
Shorecal acquisition costs of £2.2m, amortisation on reacquired rights of
£1.0m and taxation of £4.5m.

Statutory profit after tax and earnings per share

Statutory profit after tax was £29.9m, a decrease of £12.4m from H1 24.

Statutory EPS decreased to 7.6p from 10.7p, largely due to a decrease in
underlying profit after tax and the profit on disposal of the London Corporate
stores in the first half of 2024 which generated a profit on disposal of
£11.2m.

Underlying basic EPS decreased to 8.4p as a result of lower underlying profit
after tax partially offset by a lower number of weighted average shares due to
the share buyback programme executed in 2024.

During the period, we completed the roll-out of our new cloud-based ERP system
across all our SCCs. The new ERP enables us to drive efficiencies across the
system.

Within EBITDA, costs of £1.5m have been recognised which relate to the ERP.
These represent costs spent on development of these assets, which are expensed
through the income statement rather than capitalised as intangible assets, as
they relate to cloud platforms. This represents the full spend on the project
in the year to date.

Amortisation of £0.7m was incurred on the ecommerce platform.

 Last 12 months net debt/Underlying EBITDA ratio (excl. IFRS 16)  2.32x           2.16x

Net debt increased by £21.2m with a free cash flow before non-underlying
items of £28.7m, non-underlying outflow £3.0m and capital allocation items
outflow of £66.7m.

Free cash flow

Free cash flow before non-underlying items was £28.7m, a decrease of £4.0m
on the previous year. Underlying EBITDA was £63.9m, a decrease of £5.1m as
outlined above.

There was a working capital outflow of £12.1m (H1 24: outflow of £10.7m).
This predominantly relates to decreases in overall accruals and accrued income
of £5.1m, an outflow of £4.4m due to the unwind of the timing of cash
receipts and payments for online sales, a £2.9m decrease in overall trade
payable and an increase in the NAF debtor of £1.4m. This is offset by a
£1.3m decrease in inventory due to seasonal levels from year end. These
movements are expected mostly to reverse in H2 25.

Net IFRS 16 lease payments increased by £0.6m to £3.9m following the
acquisition of our Investment in Victa DP. Dividends received of £0.4m were
from our associate investment in West Country.

Net interest payments of £8.1m increased from £7.8m as a result of increased
net debt.

Corporation tax payments decreased by £3.3m to £11.9m primarily due to
increased payments made in the prior year relating to transfer pricing between
our UK and Irish subsidiaries.

Non-underlying payments of £3.0m were made during the year, which includes
£3.1m in terminated acquisition costs incurred in the prior year, a £1.0m
outflow relating to the historical driver case exposure to the tax authorities
in Ireland and corporation tax payments of £0.5m, this is offset by £2.1m
reversionary scheme compensation.

 

Capital allocation items

Capital allocation items decreased by £16.9m to £66.7m.

Capital expenditure increased to £8.5m which includes £2.6m relating to
automation across the supply chain centres, £1.0m relating to our fifth SCC
in Avonmouth and £3.2m relating to total investment in digital and ecommerce
development.

Acquisitions and disposals of £25.5m relate to the acquisition of a
controlling interest in Victa DP. Included in this amount is the £7.0m
consideration for the additional 24% shareholding, £20.7m relating to the
repayment of debt on acquisition offset by a £2.2m capital contribution by
the minority interest.

In H1 24, acquisitions and disposals cash outflow of £42.5m included a
£48.7m acquisition of Shorecal, of which £16.3m related to repayment of debt
on acquisition. In addition, the Group invested £11.4m for a 12% investment
in DP Poland Plc. This was offset by the £17.3m in proceeds received on the
disposal of the London corporate stores.

Dividends paid of £29.4m relates to the final FY24 dividend paid in May 2025.
Share transactions of £3.3m relate to share purchases made by the Employee
benefit trust.

Intangible assets increased by £40.0m to £138.1m. The primary movement
relates to the addition of £41.4m of goodwill and intangibles relating to the
Victa DP acquisition.

Property, plant and equipment increased by £5.5m to £109.0m, which include
additions of £4.8m and £4.1m acquired through the acquisition of Victa DP.
This was offset by £3.6m in depreciation during the period.

Additions of £4.8m include £2.6m relating to automation across the supply
chain centres, £1.0m relating to our fifth SCC in Avonmouth and £0.6m
relating to corporate stores.

Investments, associates and joint ventures decreased by £6.6m primarily due
to the derecognition of Victa DP following the group's controlling share
acquisition during the period.

Deferred consideration of £2.0m relates to amounts owed to the Group
following our disposal of the London Corporate Stores during the year. This is
expected to be received in 2026.

Right-of-use assets of £26.9m represent the lease assets for our corporate
stores both in the UK and Ireland, warehouses and equipment leases recognised
under IFRS 16 in the current period. The net lease liability is £29.2m. The
lease portfolio has increased as a result of the acquisition of Victa DP.

The net working capital liability has decreased from £40.3m to £35.0m as a
result of the factors outlined in the cash flow section above.

Total equity has decreased by £0.7m, to a net liability position of £82.9m,
largely due to the profit after tax generated of £29.9m offset by dividend
payments of £29.4m. There are sufficient distributable reserves in the
standalone accounts of Domino's Pizza Group plc for the proposed dividend
payment.

 

Treasury management

At 29 June 2025, the Group held £500m in debt facilities, of which £200m
relates to an unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility (RCF) and
£300m relates to US Private placement loan notes. The total undrawn facility
at 29 June 2025 was £177.0m.

 

 

The Group successfully amended and extended the RCF facility in July 2025,
increasing the amount to £300m and extending the facility to July 2030. The
Group now holds £600m in debt facilities, of which £300m relates to the
amended RCF and £300m relates to US Private Placement loan notes.

The US Private Placement loan notes consist of £200m which incur interest at
a fixed rate of 4.26% and expire in July 2027, and £100m which incurs
interest at a fixed rate of 5.97% and expires in June 2034. Interest is
payable every six months.

The unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility incurs interest at a
margin over SONIA of between 165bps and 265bps depending on leverage, plus a
utilisation fee of between 0bps and 30bps of the aggregate amount of the
outstanding loans. The previous RCF incurred a margin over SONIA of between
185bps and 285bps.

The financial covenants under all financing agreements are materially
consistent. These covenants relate to measurement of adjusted EBITDAR against
consolidated net finance charges (interest cover) and adjusted EBITDA to net
debt (leverage ratio) measured semi-annually on a trailing 12-month basis at
half year and year end. The interest cover covenant under the terms of both
agreements cannot be less than 1.5:1, and leverage ratio cannot be more than
3:1. Figures used in the calculation of both covenants exclude the impact of
IFRS 16.

As at 29 June 2025 the Group has Net debt of £306.6m, and the last 12 months
Net debt/EBITDA ratio excluding the impact of IFRS 16 increased to 2.32x from
1.93x, largely as a result of the cash outflow on the acquisition of Victa DP.

Underpinning treasury management is a robust Treasury Policy and Strategy that
aims to minimise financial risk. Foreign exchange movement arising from
transactional activity is reduced by either agreeing fixed currency rates with
suppliers or pre-purchasing the currency spend.

Notes to the interim financial statements

26 weeks ended 29 June 2025

 

1. General information

Domino's Pizza Group plc ('the Company') is a public limited company
incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006 (registration
number 03853545). The Company is domiciled in the United Kingdom and its
registered address is 1 Thornbury, West Ashland, Milton Keynes, MK6 4BB. The
Company's ordinary shares are listed on the Official List of the FCA and
traded on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. Further copies of the
interim report and Annual Report and Accounts may be obtained from the address
above.

2. Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the 'interim
financial statements') have been prepared in accordance with the UK-adopted
International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's
Financial Conduct Authority. The financial information contained in this
interim report does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of
Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.

The interim results for the 26 weeks ended 29 June 2025 and the comparatives
to 30 June 2024 are unaudited but have been reviewed by the auditors. A copy
of their review report has been included at the end of this report.

The financial information for the 52 weeks ended 29 December 2024 has been
extracted from the Group financial statements for that period. These published
financial statements were reported on by the auditors without qualification or
an emphasis of matter reference and did not include a statement under section
498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006 and have been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies.

The interim financial information is presented in sterling and all values are
rounded to the nearest tenth of million pounds (£0.1m), except when otherwise
indicated. The accounting policies are consistent with those of the previous
financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the
estimation of income tax (see note 7). The financial statements are prepared
using the historical cost basis with the exception of the derivative financial
assets and contingent consideration which are measured at fair value in
accordance with IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.

Going concern

The interim financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis.
This is considered appropriate, given the financial resources of the Group
including the current position of banking facilities, together with long-term
contracts with its master franchisor, its franchisees and its key suppliers.

The Directors of the Group have performed an assessment of the overall
position and future forecasts (including the 12 month period from the date of
this report) for the purpose of going concern. The overall Group has seen
market share gains in a tough operating environment.

The Directors of the Group have considered the future position based on
current trading and a number of potential downside scenarios which may occur,
either through reduced consumer spending, reduced store growth, supply chain
disruptions, general economic uncertainty and other risks. This assessment has
considered the overall level of Group borrowings and covenant requirements,
the flexibility of the Group to react to changing market conditions and
ability to appropriately manage any business risks. As at 29 June 2025 the
Group has £500m of banking facilities and a net debt position of £306.6m.
The facilities have leverage and interest cover covenants, with which the
Group have complied. The Group amended and extended the RCF facility in July
2025, increasing the amount to £300m and extending the facility to July 2030.
The Group now holds £600m in debt facilities, of which £300m relates to the
amended RCF and £300m relates to US Private Placement loan notes. The
covenants have remained unchanged.

The scenarios modelled are based on our current forecast projections out to
the end of 2026 and have taken into account the following risks:

-      a downside impact of economic uncertainty and other sales risks
over the forecast period, reflected in sales performance, with a c.5%
reduction in LFL sales compared to budget;

-      The impact of a reduction of new store openings to half of their
forecast level;

-      A further reduction of between 2.5%-3.0% in sales to account for
the potential impact of the public health debate;

-      Future potential disruptions to the supply chain through loss of
one of our supply chain centres impacting our ability to supply stores for a
period of two weeks;

-      The impact of a temporary loss of availability of our eCommerce
platform for 24 hours during peak trading periods; and

-      A significant unexpected increase in the impact of climate change
on our delivery costs.

 

 

 

Notes to the interim financial statements (continued)

26 weeks ended 29 June 2025

 

2. Basis of preparation (continued)

We have also considered a second 'severe but plausible' scenario, which in
addition to the above-mentioned risks, also includes the risks of:

-      A disruption to one of our key suppliers impacting our supply
chain over a period of four weeks whilst alternate sourcing is secured; and

-      The impact of fines from a potential wider data breach.

In each of the scenarios modelled, there remains significant headroom
available on net debt. Under the first scenario there remains sufficient
headroom under the covenant requirements of the facilities.

If all the risks under the first scenario were to occur simultaneously with
the additional risks in the second scenario, before any mitigating actions,
the Group would breach its leverage covenants. The Board has a mitigating
action available in the form of delays in dividends to shareholders and share
buybacks which would prevent a breach of leverage covenants.

Based on this assessment, the Directors have formed a judgement that there is
a reasonable expectation the Group will have adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Accounting policies and new standards

There were no new standards and interpretations effective for the first time
for the reporting period that have a material impact on the Group financial
statements.

3. Segmental information

For management purposes, the Group has been organised into two geographic
business units based on the operating models of the regions; the UK &
Ireland operating more mature markets with a franchise model, limited
corporate stores and investments held in our franchisees, compared to
International which operated predominantly as corporate stores. The
International segment included legacy Germany and Switzerland holding
companies.

These are considered the Group's operating segments as the information
provided to the Executive Directors of the Board, who are considered to be the
chief operating decision makers, is based on these territories. The chief
operating decision makers review the segmental underlying EBIT and EBITDA
results and the non-underlying items separately. Revenue included in each
segment includes all sales made to franchise stores (royalties, sales to
franchisees and rental income) and by corporate stores located in that
segment.

Following the announcement of the growth framework in 2023, the Group's
operating segments continue to be reviewed and will be updated if there are
any changes in the structure of information provided to the Executive
Directors.

Unallocated assets include cash and cash equivalents and taxation assets.
Unallocated liabilities include the bank revolving facility and taxation
liabilities.

a)    Reacquired rights amortisation

The Group incurred a charge of £3.0m (H1 24: £1.0m; FY 24: £3.3m) in
relation to the amortisation of reacquired rights recognised on the
acquisition of Shorecal and Victa DP Limited (Victa DP). Of the charge, £2.3m
(H1 24: £1.0m; FY 24: £3.0m) relates to Shorecal and £0.7m (H1 24: £nil ;
FY 24: £nil) relates to Victa DP.

This relates to the valuation of the Standard Franchise Agreements which were
in place before the acquisition, previously issued by the Group to the
Shorecal Limited group and Victa DP when these were independently controlled
franchisees. These are amortised over the remaining life of the franchise
agreements, which is on average 5 years for Shorecal and 8 years for Victa DP.

b)    Strategy costs

During the current period, the Group incurred strategy costs of £1.7m which
relate to legal and professional fees associated with delivering the Group's
growth strategy.

In the prior year, strategy costs included legal and advisory costs of £2.3m
associated with the acquisition of Shorecal Limited in the first half of the
year and £3.2m relating to an acquisition which did not complete.

These costs are recognised in non-underlying as they relate directly to
acquisition related activity and are significant enough to distort the
underlying performance of the Group.

c)    Reversionary share scheme

In the previous year, the Group recognised income of £5.0m, net of £0.3m
related legal costs, in relation to amounts receivable from beneficiaries of
the reversionary scheme, following the Group's settlement of the employment
tax and related charges with HMRC in 2022 and 2023. £0.7m of cash was
received by the end of the year and a receivable of £4.6m was recognised at
year end.

During the current year £2.1m was received and a further £2.5m is expected
to be received in 2025. This income was recognised in non-underlying results
consistent with the recognition of the expense in previous years.

 

 

Notes to the interim financial statements (continued)

26 weeks ended 29 June 2025

 

d)    Fair value gain on investment

Due to the acquisition of Victa DP during the current period, the Group's
existing 46% share ownership was deemed to of been disposed at its fair value
resulting in a gain of £1.5m. The fair value was determined with reference to
the consideration paid for the additional 24% acquisition taking into account
a control premium. For further detail refer to note 13.

 

e)    Profit on disposal of corporate stores

In the previous year, the Group disposed of its London corporate stores in the
previous year, generating a profit on disposal of £21.4m, which includes
£0.5m in transactions costs. For further details refer to note 14. This was
treated as a non-underlying profit as is consistent with the treatment of the
previous impairment to the Corporate Stores recognised in 2019.

 

f)     Taxation

During the current period, the group recognised a £0.5m tax charge relating
to the disposal of the London corporate stores in the prior year and a £0.6
tax credit relating to the amortisation of reacquired rights recognised. No
other tax charge arises in respect of other costs included within
non-underlying items.

 

During the prior period, the group incurred a £4.5m tax charge which
primarily related to the disposal of the London corporate stores detailed in
note e above. The £7.7m tax charge in FY 24 related to the London corporate
store disposal and the settlement income received in respect of the historical
share-based compensation scheme detailed in note c.

8. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing profit for the
year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted
average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted
earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to
ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of
Ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number
of Ordinary shares that would have been issued on the conversion of all
dilutive potential Ordinary shares into Ordinary shares.

which would have been issued at the period end has not been included in the
diluted earnings per share calculation.

There were 2,674,628 share options excluded from the diluted earnings per

10. Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

During the 26 weeks ended 29 June 2025, the Group acquired assets with a cost
of £8.3m (cash outflow of £8.5m).

Through the acquisition of Victa DP in the current period, the Group acquired
property, plant and equipment of £4.1m. The Group also acquired intangible
assets of £41.4m, of which £22.7m relates to Goodwill and £18.7m relates to
reacquired rights in respect of franchise agreements. These amounts are
provisional.

The reacquired rights of £18.7m represent the value of the Standard Franchise
Agreements previously issued by the Group and reacquired on acquisition. The
valuation of these reacquired rights is an accounting estimate which was
provisionally valued using multiple period excess earnings method over the
remaining contractual term of the franchise agreements. These assets will be
amortised over the period of the franchise agreements, which is on average 8
years, with amortisation recognised in non-underlying results.

Refer to note 13 for additional information.

In the first half of 2024, the Group disposed of 14 London corporate stores
which included intangible assets of £5.9m and property, plant and equipment
of £0.8m. Assets with a carrying value of £7.5m were transferred to assets
held for sale. Refer to notes 14 and 15 for more details.

Through the acquisition of Shorecal in the prior period, the Group acquired
property, plant and equipment of £2.9m. The Group also acquired intangible
assets of £87.1m of which £64.7m related to Goodwill and £22.4m related to
reacquired rights in respect of franchise agreements.

As at 29 June 2025, amounts contracted for but not provided for in the
financial statements for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment
amounted to £0.5m (2024: £0.5m) and for intangible assets amount to £1.2m
(2024: £0.8m) for the Group.

Country contributed profits of £0.1m along with contributing a dividend of
£0.4m. During the period, the Group increased its investment in Victa DP
which is now a subsidiary of the Group. As a result, the £6.8m value of the
associate investment has been derecognised. For further detail refer to note
13.

 

13. Business combinations

Acquisition of Victa DP Limited

On the 10(th) of March 2025, the Group acquired an additional 24% of share
capital of Victa DP Limited, a private company registered in the United
Kingdom that operates Domino's franchise stores in Northern Ireland, taking
its ownership to 70%. A total net cash consideration of £7.0m was
transferred.

The acquisition is consistent with the Group's growth strategy of unlocking
growth in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland following the
acquisition of Shorecal in 2024 and the investment in the Ireland supply chain
centre.

The provisional acquisition balance sheet reflects management's initial
assessment of the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired,
as permitted under IFRS 3 Business Combinations, pending completion of the
measurement period and the finalisation of the purchase price allocation.
Adjustments to the balance sheet primarily relate to recognition of intangible
assets for the reacquired rights relating to the franchise agreements, right
of use assets and lease liabilities, and provisions.

The reacquired rights of £18.7m were valued using multiple period excess
earnings method over the remaining contractual term of the franchise
agreements which is reflective of their useful economic life. These assets
will be amortised over the period of the franchise agreements, with
amortisation recognised in non-underlying results.

Provisions of £1.4m were recognised on acquisition relating to dilapidations
provisions for the acquired leases.

Financial liabilities of £20.7m, representing external debt held
pre-acquisition, were settled by the Group subsequent to the acquisition date.

The resulting Goodwill of £22.7m recognised represents intangible assets that
do not qualify for separate recognition, such as the extensive assembled
workforce, and synergies resulting from the Group's purchase of this company,
and the future growth potential of the company.

Using the proportionate share method, non-controlling interest of £3.2m was
recognised on acquisition, representing the 30% of Victa DP that is not owned
by the Group. A capital contribution of £2.2m was made by the non-controlling
post acquisition.

Immediately prior to the acquisition, the Group held a 46% interest in Victa
DP which had a value of £6.8m. When a business combination is achieved in
stages, IFRS 3 requires an acquirer to remeasure its previously held equity
interest in the acquiree at its fair value on the date of acquisition. As a
result, the 46% interest was remeasured resulting in a fair value gain of
£1.5m which has been recognised as non-underlying within other income in the
Group income statement.

Since the acquisition, Victa DP has contributed £7.3m of Group revenue and
profit before tax of £0.1m. Had the acquisition taken place at the start of
the period, the Group would have revenue of £10.1m and profit before tax of
£0.1m.

16. Financial liabilities

 

Debt facilities

As at 29 June 2025 the Group had a total of £500m (H1 24: £500m; FY 24:
£500m) of banking facilities, of which £177.0m (H1 24: £186.0m; FY 24:
£180.0m) was undrawn. The £500m of banking facilities is made up of a £200m
revolving credit facility and £300m of USPP loan notes.

Bank revolving facility

As at 29 June 2025 the Group had a £200m revolving credit facility with an
original term of five years to July 2027. Arrangement fees of £0.8m directly
incurred in relation to the RCF are included in the carrying values of the
facility and are being amortised over the term of the facility.

Interest charged on the revolving credit facility ranges from 1.85% per annum
above SONIA (or equivalent) when the Group's leverage is less than 1:1 up to
2.85% per annum above SONIA for leverage above 2.5:1. A further utilisation
fee is charged if over one-third is utilised at 0.15% which rises to 0.30% of
the outstanding loans if over two-thirds is drawn. In addition, a commitment
fee is calculated on undrawn amounts based on 35% of the current applicable
margin.

The RCF is secured by an unlimited cross guarantee between Domino's Pizza
Group plc, DPG Holdings Limited, Domino's Pizza UK & Ireland Limited, DP
Realty Limited, DP Pizza Limited, Sell More Pizza Limited, Sheermans SS
Limited, Sheermans Limited, Shorecal Limited, Karshan Limited, K&M Pizzas
Limited and Sarcon No 214 Limited.

An ancillary overdraft and pooling arrangement was in place with Barclays Bank
Plc for £20.0m covering, Domino's Pizza Group plc, DPG Holdings Limited,
Domino's Pizza UK & Ireland Limited, DP Realty Limited, DP Pizza Limited,
Sell More Pizza Limited, Sheermans SS Limited and Sheermans Limited. The
overdraft facility amount is included and part of the £200m revolving credit
facility. Interest is charged on the overdraft at the same margin as
applicable to the revolving credit facility above SONIA.

RCF amendment and extension

On 29 July 2025 the RCF was increased to £300m and its maturity was extended
to July 2030. The margin range above SONIA (or equivalent) on interest charges
has been reduced to 1.65% (when the Group's leverage is less than 1:1) and
2.65% (when the Group's leverage is above 2.5:1). Utilisation fees (from 0.15%
when over one-third is utilised to 0.30% when outstanding loans drawn is more
than two-thirds) and commitment fees (35% of the applicable margin on undrawn
amounts) remain unchanged. The amended RCF is secured by an unlimited cross
guarantee between Domino's Pizza Group plc, DPG Holdings Limited, Domino's
Pizza UK & Ireland Limited, DP Realty Limited, DP Pizza Limited, Shorecal
Limited, Karshan Limited, K&M Pizzas Limited and Sarcon No 214 Limited.

16. Financial liabilities (continued)

The ancillary overdraft with Barclays Bank plc remains at £20m and is
included and part of the £300m revolving credit facility. Interest is charged
on the overdraft at the same margin as applicable to the amended revolving
credit facility above SONIA.

Private placement loan notes

The USPP loan notes for £200m issued in 2022 mature on 27th July 2027, while
the notes for £100m issued in 2024 mature on 20th June 2034. Arrangement fees
of £1.2m directly incurred in relation to the USPP notes are included in the
carrying values of the loan notes and are being amortised over the term of the
notes. Interest is charged at 4.26% and 5.97% per annum respectively.

Both USPP loan notes are secured by an unlimited cross guarantee between the
same legal entities that are guaranteeing the revolving credit facility.

17. Financial instruments

 

Investments

In April 2024, the Group acquired 12.1% of the issued ordinary share capital
of DP Poland plc, an AIM-listed company based in the UK, for a cost of
£11.4m, which includes transaction costs of £0.4m. An election was made for
the equity instrument to be designated as fair value through other
comprehensive income. The inputs used to calculate the fair value of the
investment fall within Level 1 of the IFRS 13 hierarchy. Level 1 fair value
measurements use quoted prices in active markets, being the share price of DP
Poland plc. The fair value of the investment at 29 June 2025 is £10.9m
resulting in a fair value loss of £0.7m (H1 24: gain of £0.5m; FY24 gain of
£0.1m) in the period which has been recognised in other comprehensive income.

18. Share-based payments

The expense recognised for share-based payments in respect of employee
services received during the 26 weeks ended 29 June 2025 was £1.7m (H1 24:
£2.0m; FY 24: £4.0m). This all arises on equity-settled share-based payment
transactions.

19. Related party transactions

During the period the Group entered into transactions, in the ordinary course
of business, with related parties. Transactions entered into, and trading
balances outstanding with related parties, are as follows:

The Group's lease liabilities are not included in the Group's definition of
Net Debt. Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of future lease
payments, including variable lease payments and the exercise price of purchase
options where it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised,
discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if readily
determinable, or alternatively the Group's incremental borrowing rate as a
lessee.

22. Principal risks and uncertainties

Details of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group, with the
potential to materially impact the successful delivery of our strategy, were
set out on pages 24 to 29 of the Domino's Pizza Group plc Annual Report and
Accounts 2024. These risks are summarised as follows: competitive pressures;
franchisee relationships / operations; supply chain disruption (to either a
key supplier or at one of our SCCs); food safety; loss of business critical
systems; loss of personal / corporate data; failure to deliver on our ESG
commitments; failure to meet public health expectations; and people-related
risks. The Executive Risk Committee, which meets quarterly, has continued to
support an effective risk monitoring process and has considered both the
principal and any emerging risks and uncertainties during the first 26 weeks
of 2025.

Whilst our market share continues to grow, consumer confidence remains a
headwind for further growth, exacerbated by significant increases in our
franchisees operating costs, particularly employment costs. We continue to
focus on growing order volumes through our digital-led customer interaction,
outstanding customer service and strategic initiatives on product innovation;
our loyalty programme; and working with our franchisees to explore new sources
of cost efficiencies, both at a DPG and store-level.

We also continue to monitor and look for ways to mitigate any adverse impacts
resulting from changes in government policy on our business, including those
relating to public health.

Further information on the improvements made in mitigating our principal risks
and uncertainties will be provided in our next Annual Report.

23. Post balance sheet events

On 28 July 2025 the £200m revolving credit facility was increased to £300m
and extended from July 2027 to July 2030. For more details refer to note 16.

 

 

Alternative Performance Measures and Glossary

 

The performance of the Group is assessed using a number of Alternative
Performance Measures ('APMs'). The Group's results are presented both before
and after non-underlying items. Underlying profitability measures are
presented excluding non-underlying items as we believe this provides both
management and investors with useful additional information about the Group's
performance and aids a more effective comparison of the Group's trading
performance from one period to the next and with similar businesses.
Underlying profitability measures are reconciled to unadjusted IFRS results on
the face of the income statement with details of non-underlying items provided
in note 4.

In addition, the Group's results are described using certain other measures
that are not defined under IFRS and are therefore considered to be APMs. These
measures are used by management to monitor on-going business performance
against both shorter term budgets and forecast but also against the Group's
longer term strategic plans. The definition of each APM presented in this
report and, also, where a reconciliation to the nearest measure prepared in
accordance with IFRS can be found is shown below:

Independent review report to Domino's Pizza Group plc

Report on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Our conclusion

We have reviewed Domino's Pizza Group plc's condensed consolidated interim
financial statements (the "interim financial statements") in the interim
report of Domino's Pizza Group plc for the 26 week period ended 29 June 2025
(the "period").

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the interim financial statements are not prepared, in all
material respects, in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting
Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct
Authority.

The interim financial statements comprise:

·     the group balance sheet as at 29 June 2025;

·     the group income statement and group statement of comprehensive
income for the period then ended;

·     the group cash flow statement for the period then ended;

·     the group statement of changes in equity for the period then ended;
and

·     the explanatory notes to the interim financial statements.

The interim financial statements included in the interim report of Domino's
Pizza Group plc have been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International
Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Disclosure
Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial
Conduct Authority.

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements (UK) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by
the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Financial Reporting
Council for use in the United Kingdom ("ISRE (UK) 2410"). A review of interim
financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and
other review procedures.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and, consequently, does not
enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant
matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express
an audit opinion.

We have read the other information contained in the interim report and
considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material
inconsistencies with the information in the interim financial statements.

Conclusions relating to going concern

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed
in an audit as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report,
nothing has come to our attention to suggest that the directors have
inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that the
directors have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern
that are not appropriately disclosed. This conclusion is based on the review
procedures performed in accordance with ISRE (UK) 2410. However, future events
or conditions may cause the group to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

 

 

Responsibilities for the interim financial statements and the review

Our responsibilities and those of the directors

The interim report, including the interim financial statements, is the
responsibility of, and has been approved by the directors. The directors are
responsible for preparing the interim report in accordance with the Disclosure
Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial
Conduct Authority. In preparing the interim report, including the interim
financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting
unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial
statements in the interim report based on our review. Our conclusion,
including our Conclusions relating to going concern, is based on procedures
that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for
conclusion paragraph of this report. This report, including the conclusion,
has been prepared for and only for the company for the purpose of complying
with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United
Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose. We do not, in
giving this conclusion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose
or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may
come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.
