Financial highlights

 

· Group revenue increased by 25.9% to £26.4m (H1 2023: £21.0m).

o Poland revenue increased by 24.0% to £24.9m (H1 2023: £20.0m) mainly
driven by a strong order count and despite the planned closure of five stores
in the first half of 2024.

o Croatia revenue increased by 69.1% to £1.5m (H1 2023: £0.9m) driven by
store openings.

· Group system sales were up 27.5% to £27.3m (H1 2023: £21.4m).

· Poland system sales increased by 20.6% to PLN 130.2m (H1 2023: PLN
108.0m).

o Strong Poland LFL (Like-for-Like) revenue growth of 22.2% in H1 2024
compared to H1 2023 is mainly driven by increased LFL order count of 18.8%,
and increased customer order frequency.

o Growth of both delivery and non-delivery Poland LFL System Sales of 23.7%
and 19.1%, respectively, compared to prior period.

· Strong average weekly order count of over 800 in the first half, an 18.2%
increase on H1 2023, with a record weekly average of 921 orders per store in
June 2024.

· Group EBITDA improved by 95.2% to £2.1m (H1 2023: £1.1m).

· Group loss for the period reduced to £(0.5)m in H1 2024 from £(1.6)m in
H1 2023.

· Cash at bank of £15.8m as at 30 June 2024 (£2.7m as at 30 June 2023) as a
result of a successful fundraise in April 2024 (gross proceeds of £20.5m)
partially offset by repayment of outstanding Loan Notes from Malaccan Holdings
Ltd (£4.0m) and capital investments for new stores to be completed in 2024.

· Net cash excluding IFRS 16 leases of £12.7m as at 30 June 2024 (compared
to net debt of £4.0m as at 30 June 2023).

 

 

Operational highlights

 

· The Group operated 111 stores at the end of June 2024, comprising of 106
Domino's Pizza stores across Poland and 5 across Croatia.

· One new store was opened in Poland in the first half of 2024. During the
period, five stores were closed as part of the store network optimisation
plan. Whilst the total number of stores as at the end of June 2024 has
decreased by four since the end of December 2023, group revenue performance
increased mainly due to LFL growth.

· Underpinned by the strong performance in H1 2024, the Group has started an
aggressive store opening rollout. In Poland, seven stores have been already
opened this year (1 in February, 6 in August) and 9 additional stores are on
track to be completed in 2024.

· Average delivery times showed continuous reductions (27.5 minutes on
average during H1 2024 fell to an average of 26.2 minutes in June 2024). These
efficiencies, alongside perfecting the product, operational excellence and
renowned value, resulting in improved Net Promoter Scores, and increased
customer counts

· During H1 2024 the Group experienced upward pressure on food costs,
particularly dairy products.  Despite this, the Group continue to grow market
share without sacrificing store level profitability due to sales growth driven
by order count, cost optimization and network revision.

· Investment into the commissary has commenced to expand capacity by the end
of 2024.

· Post period end completed the sale of 4 stores to franchisees, in line with
our strategy to transition to a franchise model.

 

 

 

Nils Gornall, CEO, commented:

 

"The Group continues to benefit from our High Volume Mentality strategy, the
ongoing upgrade of the store network and control over the costs. These have
enabled the Group to improve profitability significantly. An enhanced product,
improved service, faster delivery times and the overall brand image of the
Group resulted in improved customer satisfaction and increased order. Order
levels are now regularly exceeding 800 orders per store per week with the peak
weeks being above 900 orders per store. The Group continues to show strong
momentum and we are gaining market share in Poland. Continued growth and
strong business fundamentals positions the company well to commence an
aggressive store opening roll out, now under way in H2 2024

 

The results achieved, together with the support from investors demonstrated in
our fundraise during the period put the Group on a strong financial footing
for ongoing market share expansion. We are on track to open 16 new stores in
2024, , expanding our current 111 store count.

 

In parallel, we have begun to implement another strategic initiative -
building up our franchisee department. The first four stores have been sold to
franchisee in July and in August. I am personally excited to see that these
stores were sold to a very experienced and successful franchisee who relocated
from Australia to Poland with his family, helping validate the potential we
see in the country. We remain committed to our strategy of transforming the
business to a franchised model. Franchisee performance is already
accelerating, with an EBITDA margin of 13% to July YTD, and we will continue
to focus on this strategy.

 

I remain very optimistic about the outlook and excited by our prospects. The
Group continues to demonstrate what can be achieved in its owned stores, and
the planned transition to a franchisee model will accelerate growth and
increase return on capital."

 

 

Post period end trading update

 

Trading in Poland remains strong with double digit sales and order count
growth. Polish LFL sales grew by 20.3% and 22.8% in July and August
respectively, compared to the same period in 2023. The growth is visible
across all sales segments, with delivery revenue up by 27.6% and 28.8% and
non-delivery up by 8.0% and 13.0% in July and August respectively. The
increase is mainly driven by strong LFL order count growth of 15.1% and 15.9%
in July and August respectively.

 

In the year to August 2024, the Polish market has seen double-digit revenue
growth compared to 2023:

· 22.1% increase in LFL system sales driven by increased order count (17.8%
increase in LFL order count).

·19.5% increase in total system sales (15.9% increase in total order count),
despite the planned closure of 5 stores in the first half of 2024.

 

The Croatian market has been impacted by consumers visiting the Croatian coast
over the summer period, which is not an area covered at present. This resulted
in LFL sales growth in July and August of (0.9%) and 0.8% respectively
compared to 2023. Total system sales increased by 36.7% and 36.0% in July and
August, respectively, due to the fifth store opened at the end of 2023. In the
year to August 2024, Croatia's total system sales increased by 63.1% and LFL
system sales increased by 6.7% with an encouraging outlook for the rest of the
year.

 

Strong LFL revenue growth is expected to continue throughout the remainder of
H2 and the Group is confident in delivering full year performance in line with
expectations. In addition, the Group expects to accelerate the new store
opening program to further drive market share.

Chief Executive Officer's Review

 

 

I am pleased to share with you insights into the improved performance in the
first half of 2024. This is now the third year of our commitment to the High
Volume Mentality strategy, transforming the network and control over the
costs. We have built a very solid foundation to enter into the next stage of
our transformation plan in the second half of the year, concentrating on
further company expansion and transition towards a franchisee model. I feel
confident that these next steps will allow us to accelerate growth, expand
market share and sales volumes, which will ultimately improve results in the
periods ahead

 

Store performance

 

Underlying trading in the first six months of 2024 showed strong double-digit
growth across delivery and non-delivery. Group System Sales saw a remarkable
increase of 27.5% to £27.3m in H1 2024. Like-for-Like (LFL) sales grew by
22.2% in Poland and mainly driven by an 18.8% increase in LFL order count as a
result of high product quality and falling delivery times.

 

Our stores in H1 2024 regularly exceeded 800 orders per store weekly in
Poland,  (an 18.2% increase on H1 2023) with a record of 921 average weekly
orders per store in June 2024. Average weekly order count per store in Croatia
exceeded 1,200 orders on average in the first six month of 2024 and sets an
aspirational benchmark for the Polish team. Accelerated growth in the first
half of 2024 provides optimism for the future. Order counts and sales are
typically strong in Q4, which underpins our confidence in full year
performance.

 

Value for money

 

Delivery is at the heart of our business and is what we are best known for.
Delivery sales represented 68% of Polish System sales in the first half of
2024 showing considerable growth of 24.2% year on year (LFL), driven by
increased order count, excellent service standards and low delivery times.
Although our delivery times are already at the European average for Dominos
stores showing 26.2 minutes in June 2024, we are introducing GPS technologies
to improve driver route planning to further reduce delivery times to a
targeted 22 minutes.

 

We aim to attract and retain consumers with strong pipeline of promotions and
new products to increase order count.

Net promoter score (NPS) increased by 21.9% for regular customers in the first
half 2024 vs H1 in 2023 and by 69.9% vs H1 2022, showing the ongoing and
significant strengthening of the Domino's brand.

 

Digital

 

We continued to work on the Digital Experience Platform improving content and
user experience in all of our points of contacts - webpage, mobile and apps.
In the first half of 2024, more than 90% of delivery orders were placed
online. The Domino's app is the key driver of our digital growth strategy and
is a material contributor to system sales growth. Attracting more customers to
the app continues to be a key focus and we are pleased that in July 2024 app
orders as a percentage of online orders increased to 38.5%.

 

Fundraise

 

In April we completed a highly successful Fundraise which is a clear
indication of support for both the plan and execution capability by the team
as well as the confidence felt by investors in the opportunity ahead. The
Group has made considerable progress on its strategy to deploy the proceeds to
accelerate growth. In Poland, we are on track to open 16 locations across 2024
with 12 new sites and 4 stores relocated, from which two stores have been
opened so far, six rent contracts for new stores has been signed and five rent
contracts are in the process of signing. Also, the Group has started a set of
investments into commissary to double the capacity by the end of 2024.

 

Franchise model

 

We have started the second half of the year with considerable progress in
transforming the business to a franchisee model. Four stores have been sold to
franchisee in July and August 2024, and three more stores are expected to be
sold in the following months. The strong performance of our stores allows the
franchisees both to gain confidence in the potential returns from their
investment, and, crucially, to borrow against the purchased assets. This
availability of third-party capital should allow us to rapidly accelerate the
franchise model as results from the first sales demonstrate what can be
achieved. As described above, H1 performance from these franchised stores
showed EBITDA margins of 13% - clearly sufficient to build a significant
franchise business.

 

Outlook

 

We have made a strong start to the second half of the year and expect to see a
continued improvement in profitability in 2024, which is the priority for the
entire team. By delivering high quality product, in high volumes and to
delighted customers, we have built the foundation for a material increase in
scale of the business. This will be driven in part by new store openings, and
in part by sale of existing or new stores to sub-franchisees. The group's
ongoing exceptional performance, and its strong balance sheet, should allow us
to demonstrate material progress in both these avenues to expansion across H2
2024 and beyond. I remain very optimistic about the outlook. We are on the
right track to further solidify the strong position of Domino's in Poland and
Croatia.

3 Segmental reporting

The Board monitors the performance of the corporate stores and the commissary
operations separately and therefore those are considered to be the Group's two
operating segments. Corporate store sales comprise sales to the public.
Corporate store sales include sales of Polish and Croatian cash-generating
units, which are presented in Note 2 above. Commissary operations comprise
sales to sub-franchisees of food, services and fixtures and equipment.
Commissary operations also include the receipt of royalty income from
sub-franchisees. The Board monitors the performance of the two segments based
on their contribution towards Group EBITDA - excluding non-cash items,
non-recurring items and store pre-opening expenses. In accordance with IFRS 8,
the segmental analysis presented reflects the information used by the Board.
No separate balance sheets are prepared for the two operating segments and
therefore no analysis of segment assets and liabilities is presented.

The weighted average number of shares for the period excludes those shares in
the Company held by the employee benefit trust. At 30 June 2024 the basic and
diluted loss per share is the same, because the vesting of share awards would
reduce the loss per share and is, therefore, anti-dilutive.
