Domino's Pizza Group PLC

("DPG" or the "Company" or the "Group")

Launch of £20 million share buyback programme

Return of surplus capital consistent with capital allocation framework

 

Domino's Pizza Group PLC, the UK's leading pizza brand, today announces the
commencement of a share buy-back programme in respect of its ordinary shares
of 25/48p each ("Ordinary Shares") for a maximum aggregate consideration of
£20 million which is expected to run from the date of this announcement until
completion.

This will enable DPG to take advantage of the opportunity to purchase shares
in meaningful size at current share price levels generating attractive returns
for shareholders. The programme will be reviewed, as a matter of course, later
in the year.

The directors of DPG remain confident in the prospects for DPG's highly cash
generative, resilient and market-leading business, with a robust financial
position and its strategy to create shareholder value which is underpinned by
its existing capital allocation framework.

The Group's expectations for FY25 remain unchanged from the interim
announcement with the exception that year end net debt is now expected to be
between £280m and £300m.

 

Details of the Share Repurchase Programme

The purpose of the Programme is to reduce the Company's share capital and
accordingly the Company intends to cancel the Ordinary Shares purchased under
the Programme.  Any purchases will be conducted in compliance with the
relevant conditions for trading, restrictions regarding time and volume,
disclosure and reporting obligations, and price conditions. The Company
confirms that it currently has no unpublished Inside Information.

The Programme will be conducted by the Company in accordance with and under
the terms of the general authority granted by the Company's shareholders at
the Company's Annual General Meeting on 24 April 2025, which authority will
expire at the end of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company in 2026
or, if earlier, at the close of business on 24 July 2026 ("2025 Authority").

The Company has appointed Panmure Liberum Limited to manage the Programme
within pre-set parameters, during any closed period.

The Programme will be carried out on the London Stock Exchange and other
trading venues(1) and executed within the parameters of the Market Abuse
Regulation 596/2014/EU and the Commission Delegated Regulation 2016/1052/EU
(as in force in the UK from time to time, including where relevant pursuant to
the Market Abuse (Amendment)(EU Exit) Regulations 2019) and Chapter 9 of the
Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules.

The aggregate maximum consideration payable by the Company in respect of the
purchase of shares under the Programme is £20 million. The maximum number of
shares that may be purchased under the Programme is 39,471,274 (being the
number of shares able to be purchased under the 2025 Authority).

 

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of
EU Regulation 596/2014 as it forms part of domestic law of the United Kingdom
by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended (together,
"MAR").

The person responsible for making this notification is Adrian Bushnell,
Company Secretary.
