Financial highlights

·      Group revenue increased by 8.7% to £28.7m (H1 2024: £26.4m).

·      Group system sales were up 5.6% to £28.8m (H1 2024: £27.3m),
excluding Pizzeria 105.

·      Group EBITDA improved by 22.5% to £2.5 m (H1 2024: £2.1m).

·      Of the Group EBITDA, Pizzeria 105 generated £0.4m revenue and
£0.3m EBITDA in H1 2025 (from the date of acquisition at the end of March
2025).

·      Poland system sales increased by 4.9% compared to H1 2024,
primarily driven by new store openings and an increase in average check by
6.8%. Order counts decreased by 1.8% over the same period.

·     Poland Like-for-Like (LFL) revenue grew by 0.5% in H1 2025 vs H1
2024. Although consumer sentiment in Poland remained low in the beginning of
2025, we saw a notable recovery in May and June 2025. This is especially
noteworthy given the high benchmark set in June 2024 due to the UEFA European
Championship.

·      Croatia system sales grew by 7.0% in H1 2025 vs H1 2024.

Cash at bank amounted to £3.5m as at 30 June 2025 (£11.3m as at 31 December
2024). The decrease in cash is primarily due to the cash consideration paid
for the acquisition of Pizzeria 105 in March 2025 (£5.9m) and store rollout
and renovation (£1.9m).

 

Operational highlights

·      The Group operated 117 Domino's stores, 112 in Poland and 5 in
Croatia at the end of June 2025. In addition, following the acquisition of
Pizzeria 105, the Group operated 90 fully franchised Pizzeria 105 locations
operated by 76 franchisees.

·     In the first half of 2025, four new corporate stores were opened,
three were renovated, and four underperforming stores were closed in Poland as
part of the store network optimisation plan.

·      Post period end, five corporate stores were opened and four
additional stores are on track to be completed in Q3 2025.

·      Five corporate stores were sold to four franchise partners in H1
2025, raising the share of franchised stores to 17% as at June 2025 (June
2024: 7%), highlighting strong progress in this strategic area.

·     The first conversions of Pizzeria 105 to Domino's stores began in
July 2025 and have been showing strong sales growth. Further store conversions
are scheduled steadily through the remainder of 2025 and into 2026.

·      Investment into the commissary has commenced to expand capacity
by the end of 2025.

·      In H1 2025, average pizza delivery times in Poland improved
slightly to 27.0 minutes, compared with 27.5 minutes in 2024. In Croatia,
delivery times averaged 24.8 minutes, consistent with usual performance.

 

Nils Gornall, CEO, commented:

"Our focus on volume, operational discipline, and clear strategic direction
continues to deliver results. At Group level, profitability improved
significantly, with EBITDA up 22.5% year-on-year in H1 2025.

After a slower than expected start to H1 system sales in Poland, swift action
by the team drove stronger performance in May and June, resulting in system
sales growth of 5.6% year-on-year for the half. Momentum has continued post
period end, with July delivering 4.8% growth and August accelerating
to 13.0% growth year-on-year, driving a 5.9% increase in system sales
year-to-date. In Croatia, we delivered a solid 7% increase in H1 system
sales, positioning us well for planned network expansion in the second half of
the year.

Having achieved three consecutive years of strong double-digit LFL sales
growth, we are advancing our transition to a franchise-led, capital-light
model. Progress has been encouraging, with five corporate stores transferred
to franchise partners in H1 2025. This strategy supports faster expansion,
improves efficiency, and empowers local entrepreneurs, while positioning the
business for more stable and profitable long-term growth. I am pleased to
report that 17% of our network is now franchised, with these stores delivering
strong results, including an EBITDA margin of 8.4% in H1 2025.

A key highlight of the period was the strategic acquisition of Pizzeria
105 in Poland. This acquisition accelerates our growth ambitions. This
acquisition accelerates our growth ambitions, supporting our target of
reaching 200 Domino's stores in Poland by the end of 2027, the majority
franchisee-owned, and positions us firmly on the path to becoming
the Polish market leader. Early progress has been very encouraging, in July
we successfully converted the first two Pizzeria 105 stores to Domino's, both
of which are already showing positive sales growth and attracting new
customers. We are now working closely with the remaining Pizzeria 105
franchise partners to schedule their conversions, with a steady flow expected
through the remainder of 2025 and into 2026.

Looking ahead, I remain confident in the Group's prospects. With a clear
franchise-led strategy, momentum returning to trading in Poland, rising
profitability, and the Pizzeria 105 acquisition providing a platform for
accelerated growth, DP Poland is well positioned for sustainable, profitable
expansion and long-term market leadership."

Post period end trading update

 

Trading in Poland  regained momentum following a slower than expected start
to 2025. System sales grew by 4.8% in July, accelerating to 13.0% in August,
bringing year-to-date growth to 5.9%. This improvement was driven by a 5.8%
increase in order count during July and August compared to the same period in
2024, alongside a  2.9% rise in average ticket size. Growth was particularly
strong in the delivery segment, which rose by 14.0% in July and 23.7% in
August, resulting in an 11.3% year-to-date increase of delivery total system
sales.

 

In Croatia, system sales (all Like-for-Like) grew by 8.6% in July, continuing
the strong trend from H1 2025. However, growth slowed to 0.6% in August,
impacted by seasonal consumer migration to coastal areas, where we currently
have no presence. Year-to-date through August 2025, Croatia's LFL system sales
increased by 6.9%, with encouraging prospects for the remainder of the year.

 

The Group expects to deliver a solid performance in Q3 2025 and remains on
track to meet management expectations for Q4 2025. In the months ahead, we
plan to open four additional stores in Poland and launch our first
sub-franchise store in Croatia. We will also continue transitioning corporate
stores to franchise partners, while progressing the conversion of Pizzeria 105
locations to Domino's.

About DP Poland plc

 

DP Poland holds the exclusive rights to develop, operate, and sub-franchise
Domino's Pizza stores across Poland and Croatia. The group currently manages
122 Domino's locations in cities and towns throughout both countries.

Chief Executive Officer's Review

 

I am pleased to share an update on our improved performance in H1 2025. Now in
the fourth year of our High Volume Mentality strategy, we have seen a
transformation in both our network and cost control. This approach has laid a
strong foundation, delivering three consecutive years of double-digit
like-for-like sales growth and a significant uplift in EBITDA.

We have now entered the second stage of our transformation plan, focused on
accelerating store network expansion and advancing our transition to a
franchise-led model. A key milestone was the strategic acquisition of Pizzeria
105 in Q1 2025, which has significantly accelerated our move toward a
sub-franchised, capital-light growth model and underpins the Group's long-term
development.

Store performance

Underlying trading in the first six months of 2025 delivered 5.6% growth in
Group system sales (excluding Pizzeria 105). LFL sales rose by 0.5% in Poland
and 7.0% in Croatia.

Poland

In H1 2025, Polish system sales grew 4.9% year-on-year, driven by an 8.9%
increase in delivery sales, while non-delivery sales declined 3.8% compared
with H1 2024.

In Poland, diminished consumer sentiment and intensified promotional activity
from major players in the Quick Service Restaurant sector weighed on volume
growth at the start of the year. Order counts in Q1 2025 remained broadly
stable versus Q1 2024, but volumes in Q2 declined by 3.4%, reflecting the high
comparative base created by the UEFA European Championship in June 2024.

Despite these volume headwinds, the Polish business achieved a 6.8%
year-on-year increase in average ticket value during H1 2025.

Croatia

Croatian total system sales for H1 grew by 7.0% year on year, all stores are
Like for Like. Delivery sales grew by 15.5%, while non-delivery sales declined
0.7% compared with H1 2024.

Order counts in the period declined by 5.3% as we continued to navigate
inflationary pressures and adjust pizza prices. In July 2025, Croatia recorded
the second-highest inflation rate in the euro area.

The Croatian business achieved a 13.05% year-on-year increase in average
ticket value during H1 2025.

Value for money

Our commitment to operational excellence and delivering outstanding value
continues to drive sales growth. We offer customers a compelling proposition:
high-quality pizza, served quickly, at an attractive price.

Delivery remains at the heart of our business and the area where we excel. In
H1 2025, delivery accounted for 71% of Polish system sales, growing by 2.7%
year-on-year on a LFL basis. This growth is underpinned by consistently high
service standards and fast delivery times, averaging just 27 minutes over the
period.

Alongside delivery excellence, we continue to focus on product innovation
serving delicious pizza and expanding our menu to meet evolving customer
tastes.

Franchise model

As part of our long-term strategy, DP Poland is advancing its transition from
a corporate-operated model to a franchise-led business. In H1 2025, five
corporate stores were successfully transferred to four franchise partners,
marking further progress in selling down our corporate estate and taking
another step toward a capital-light growth model.

This approach allows us to scale more efficiently, reduce capital intensity
and overheads, and reallocate resources to reinvest in new store openings. At
the same time, it empowers entrepreneurial franchisees to deliver stronger
performance at the local level, leveraging their market knowledge and
commitment to operational excellence. Encouragingly, newly franchised stores
are already generating healthy margins, reinforcing the strength of this
strategy.

The transition to a franchise-led model is expected to accelerate expansion,
improve profitability, and deliver more stable earnings through consistent
franchise fee streams, while transferring day-to-day operating risks to
franchise partners. This strategic evolution strengthens the foundation for
long-term, sustainable growth in both Poland and Croatia.

Pizzeria 105

I am excited to welcome Pizzeria 105 into the Domino's family, an acquisition
that unlocks the long-term potential to reach more than 500 locations in
Poland. This strategic move accelerates our transition to a predominantly
franchised business, with 100% of Pizzeria 105's 90 locations already
franchisee-owned and operated by 76 franchise partners. Once converted to
Domino's, these stores will extend our presence into 31 new Polish cities,
further strengthening our growth trajectory.

 

The acquisition offers a compelling opportunity for Pizzeria 105 franchisees
to become part of Domino's with potential for increased sales and
profitability. To support the transition, DP Poland is offering attractive
incentives, including funding for the rebranding of Pizzeria 105 stores to
Domino's.

 

Pizzeria 105 significantly increases the Group's scale and unlocks operational
benefits across procurement, logistics, marketing, digital infrastructure, and
head office functions. The acquisition leads to market consolidation, giving
Domino's expanded control over market trends and pricing strategies.

 

In July 2025 the first two stores have been converted from Pizzeria 105 to
Domino's. We expect rebranding for approximately 70% of Pizzeria 105 stores.
The remaining 30% of these stores are located in areas with territorial
constraints, which may be resolved through potential consolidation with
existing Domino's corporate stores.

 

Outlook

The Group has entered the second half of the year with positive sales
trends and we expect continued improvements in profitability as growth
builds. A steady flow of Pizzeria 105 conversions into Domino's stores over
the next 12 to 18 months, will further strengthen sales and broaden our
presence across Poland.

Our transition from a corporate-operated model to a franchise-led business
remains central to increasing scale and profitability. This shift, combined
with ongoing network expansion, underpins our ambition to become the clear
market leader in both Poland and Croatia.

Looking ahead, the Group is well positioned to accelerate growth and deliver
sustainable, long-term value for shareholders.

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.

5 Loss per share

 

The loss per ordinary share has been calculated as follows:

                                                                                  Unaudited               Unaudited               Audited

                                                                                                          Restated                31.12.2024

 Weighted average number of shares in issue (excluding EBT held shares)           932,431,762             792,640,454             857,136,184

 Basic and diluted loss per share (pence)                                         (0.05 p)                (0.13 p)                (0.06 p)

 

The weighted average number of shares for the period excludes those shares in
the Company held by the employee benefit trust. At 30 June 2025 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.
