Chairman's Statement

2016 was a year of robust System Sales(1) growth, driven by strong like-for-likes(2) and the roll-out of new stores to more towns and cities. This growth in System Sales enhanced both store EBITDA and commissary gross profit(5) , albeit in the context of a marginally reduced Group EBITDA(6) loss. The growth in commissary gross profit is particularly driven by the addition of new sub-franchised stores and the growth in sub-franchised store sales, through the provision of dough balls, ingredients, boxes and other items to sub-franchisees, plus sales royalties.

Today we have 8 sub-franchise partners, 6 more than we had this time last year and we expect to welcome more in the coming year. The addition of more sub-franchisees is further confirmation of the potential of the Polish market, as more individuals commit to building their own Domino's businesses in a country of 38.5 million people. Today over half of our estate is sub-franchised, compared to less than one third this time last year. The mix of corporately managed and sub-franchised stores will vary as we build out over the coming years, but we expect sub-franchised stores to be a key growth engine in the medium to longer term.

We work closely with our sub-franchisees to create strong sales and marketing programmes, to run in tandem with those of our corporate stores. Local store marketing (LSM) lies at the heart of Domino's marketing, communicating to our customers and potential customers through menus, leaflets and other activities. LSM is supported by various media, including digital, out-of-home poster campaigns and radio. As our store estate grows and our ability to deliver to more customers increases we can foresee the introduction of national television advertising; we believe this will mark a further step change to the performance of the Domino's business in Poland.

Our most mature corporate stores continue to deliver robust growth, alongside our newer stores, with both sales and Store EBITDA significantly ahead in 2016 over 2015. The growing traction of the Domino's brand in Poland is founded on the satisfaction of a loyal and growing customer base at each store, through our offer of great service, great product and great value.

While expansion requires resource, with strengthened real estate and store opening teams and extended commissary capacity, the growing store contribution to marketing and the economies of scale in procurement will further strengthen the positive feedback cycle inherent to revenue growth. As we progress through this growth phase, to establish a national presence, we expect the reduction in Group EBITDA losses, compared to the growth in revenues, to rebalance as we approach critical mass in stores numbers and System Sales. With that rebalancing there will come an inflection point when the relative costs of running a high growth business steadily reduce in proportion to the growth in revenues and improvements in Group EBITDA.

Our fund raising of GBP3.2m gross in October 2016 was strongly supported by our investors and enables us to maintain the pace in the opening of corporate stores and in certain cases to support our own managers, through loans, to acquire their own stores. Supporting in-house talent in this way is a success model that is tried and tested across the Domino's system worldwide, in tandem with encouraging and supporting third parties to sub-franchise the Domino's brand.

The opportunity for Domino's in Poland is founded on the size of the population - the eighth largest in Europe - and the evident appetite for the Domino's offer of high quality pizza, delivered fast and hot to the door. Delivering against that opportunity requires a mix of careful management, energy and determination which I believe is ably demonstrated by our team; I would like to take this opportunity to thank both them and our sub-franchisees for delivering a strong performance in 2016.

In 2017 we remain focused on building out the store estate to achieve critical mass and to establish Domino's Pizza as a national brand in Poland.

Chief Executive's Review

Group performance

Group EBITDA(6) losses marginally improved 2016 (GBP1.58m(3) ) on 2015 (GBP1.63m(4) ) at average exchange rates for 2016 and 2015.

At constant exchange rates (GBP1: 5.34PLN, the 2016 average) Group EBITDA(6) losses, improved by 8%, 2016 on 2015.

As described in the Finance Director's Report below, the Group loss for the period of (GBP2,493,401(3) ) 2016, at actual exchange rates increased by 14%, mainly due to the increases in depreciation, amortisation and impairment and share based payments.

Investment in the real estate and store opening teams reduced the positive impact of the growth in store EBITDA and commissary gross profit on Group EBITDA. As revenues continue to grow we expect them to outstrip growth in Direct Costs (including the new commissary) and S,G&A and for the benefits to show in improvement in Group EBITDA for YE 2017 and beyond.

Store performance

2016 delivered a strong store performance in both like-for-like(2) sales and sales from stores that were opened during the year.

Like-for-like System Sales(1) were up +27% 2016 on 2015.

2016 closed with our 17(th) consecutive quarter of double digit like-for-like System Sales growth.

Like-for-like store performance was driven by a combination of successful sales and marketing activity and, we believe, increasing traction of the Domino's brand with existing and prospective customers, overlaid on a bouyant consumer economy.

Total System Sales were up +62% (PLN) 2016 on 2015.

Total Corporate Store EBITDA 2016 was +1.76m PLN (+GBP329k(3) ) vs +1.0m PLN (+GBP173k(4) ) in 2015, growth of +76%.

Total Corporate Store EBITDA performance benefited from improvement in the cost of goods, in part due to commodity deflation in the first part of the year and in part due to growing volumes benefiting commissary procurement. In contrast, higher store labour costs had some impact on store EBITDA in the second part of the year. The upward pressure on store labour was impacted both by the introduction of a minimum wage and its subsequent increase and by a drop in unemployment, impacting wage levels. On the plus side, in the macroeconomic context, lower unemployment and increased wages feed through to increased disposable income and a higher propensity to purchase.

We are very encouraged that our top 3 corporate stores averaged +468kPLN (+GBP88k(3) ) EBITDA each in 2016 vs +332kPLN (+GBP58k(4) ) each in 2015. Our top store delivered +536kPLN (+GBP100k(3) ) EBITDA.

New store sales growth was driven by the opening of 12 stores in 2016.

Store roll-out

12 stores were opened in 2016, 8 sub-franchised and 4 corporate, ending the year with 35 stores.

The table below shows store openings and sales of stores to sub-franchisees in 2016

 
 Stores        1 Jan 2016   Opened   Sold to        Closed   31 Dec 2016

------------  -----------  -------  -------------  -------  ------------ 
 

In 2017 to-date we have opened 4 stores, of which 3 are corporate stores and 1 sub-franchised. We currently have 39 stores in operation.

We started 2016 with Domino's stores in 4 cities; we ended the year with stores in 10 towns/cities and today there are stores in 14 towns/cities. The overall performance of our new stores is encouraging, with inevitable variations in performance between individual stores.

In Warsaw we have started to split the delivery areas of some of our more mature stores, as the sales of those stores are healthy enough to share part of their delivery areas. The reason for splitting delivery areas with the opening of a second store is to serve our customers even better with even faster delivery times. The better we serve our customers with fast delivery the more likely they are to repeat their purchase with us and the combined sales and EBITDA of 2 stores will exceed the sales of the original store.

Sub-franchisees

We finished the year with 8 sub-franchise partners, who are operating 23 stores out of a total of 39 stores open to-date. We have witnessed a swing from a predominantly corporately managed estate in 2015 to a predominantly sub-franchised estate today. While we expect this mix to vary as new stores are opened, we believe that sub-franchise store openings will be a very important engine of our store-rollout.

Our sub-franchisees are a mix of former Domino's Pizza area managers and third parties who have come from outside the Domino's system.

Commissary

The performance of our commissary in 2016 was marked by a step change increase in sales to stores as System Sales grew by 62% (PLN). Commissary gross profit5 increased by 155% to +1.71m PLN (+GBP321k(3) ) in 2016, from +673k PLN (+GBP117k(4) ) in 2015.

The high proportion of sub-franchised stores positively impacted commissary gross profit as we retain a proportion of sales royalties and are able to add margin to the sales of goods to sub-franchised stores, while still offering sub-franchisees highly competitive prices compared to those achievable in the open market. These goods include dough balls, ingredients, boxes and services.

Our ability to procure high quality goods cost effectively improves as our sales volumes grow. 2016 was marked by commodity deflation for much of the year, although by the fourth quarter we saw prices of certain commodities, such as cheese and meat, start to increase.

In the summer of 2017 we will have finished the construction of our second commissary which will give us the production and warehousing capacity to open an additional c.100 stores. Together with our current commissary will take our commissary capacity to up to c.150 stores, dependent on store sales volumes.

The opening of our second commissary will have an impact on Direct Costs, nevertheless, this capacity is required and the new commissary's more central location, on the outskirts of the city of ód , will benefit distribution costs to many of our stores that are not in the vicinity of Warsaw or to the east of Warsaw.

Marketing

We continue to invest in marketing at both the store and town/city level. Digital marketing is an important component for us as are the more traditional media of direct marketing, out-of-home posters and radio. Return on investment is a critical metric in our choice of marketing spend; as our experience of marketing Domino's in Poland grows so does our efficiency of spend on media.

The growth in our store estate will lead to more opportunities to market to our existing and prospective customers. As we expand our national coverage of stores the prospect of national television advertising becomes more realistic, both in terms of the efficiency of media spend and the availability of Domino's Pizza to potential customers.

With the growth in our online sales - we saw 71% of delivery orders made online in 2016, compared to 67% in 2015 - we see the benefits of a closer relationship with our customers. Our online interface is tailored to the way our consumers wish to use it, be that through our app or our responsive website which adapts to the format of the device that our consumers decide to use. By the same token we are able to tailor our offers and their timing to suit our customers

Innovation

We regularly introduce new pizza recipes to delight our customers. In 2016 we launched two stuffed crust options: Cheesy Crust and Hot Dog Crust, following in the footsteps of other Domino's Pizza markets. These crust types can be ordered to supplement any of our pizza recipes.

New pizza recipes introduced last year included Italian Meatballs, Tuna Light and Big Meat.

Product innovation will continue to play an important part in attracting new customers and delighting our existing customers.

October fundraising

In October, 2016 we raised GBP3.2m before expenses, c.GBP3m net, in order to support our continued roll-out of store openings, with an additional 20 stores, increasing our target to 100 stores open by YE 2020. This fund raising was well supported by our existing investors and new investors, resulting in a placing price discount to the prior-day closing price of only 1.3%.

Outlook and current trading

Our like-for-like System Sales were 16% Jan-Feb 2017; while lower than the exceptional like-for-likes in 2016, due to strong comparables, we anticipate our like-for-like performance for the full year 2017 to be stronger. March 2017 like-for-likes are on track to be 20%+.

We had 35 stores open at the beginning of 2017 and we expect to push through the 50 store mark this year. 4 stores were opened by early February 2017 and we have 6 further stores under construction. While we expect the majority of these store openings to be corporate stores, a number of our existing sub-franchisees have committed to open stores in 2017 and we anticipate new sub-franchisees opening stores during the year.

The Polish economy continues to deliver healthy consumer spending and we expect this consumer behaviour to continue through 2017, supported by falling unemployment and growing wage levels, which in turn boost disposable incomes. On the cost front the reduction in unemployment has impacted labour rates, but we continue to respond with competitive rates and a supportive working environment, retaining and attracting the talent that we need. We saw some inflation in food prices in the fourth quarter of 2016, following the deflation that we experienced in the first half of the year, but so far the increases have not been dramatic. Our management of pricing is designed to minimise the impact of such commodity price increases.

2017 will be the year when we expect to push through the 50 store mark, a key milestone. The growth in store numbers and positive like-for-likes will deliver growing economies of scale and growing store EBITDA and commissary gross profit, positively impacting Group EBITDA losses for YE 2017.

Finance Director's Review

Overview

In 2016 we achieved our 17(th) consecutive quarter of double digit like-for-like(2) System Sales(1) growth; through improved corporate store EBITDA and commissary gross profit5. Total corporate store EBITDA grew +75% (PLN) and commissary gross profit grew

+155% (PLN). Growth of System Sales in 2016 was supported by Local Store Marketing and digital media, radio and billboards, carefully planned against specific Return on Marketing Investment criteria. The loss for the year was in line with expectations at (GBP2,493,401(3) ).

While the Polish economy in 2016 experienced deflation, we experienced some inflation in food and wages in Q4 2016, following deflation in those goods earlier in the year. From the broader macro-economic viewpoint wage inflation translates to an increase in internal consumption, which should in-turn stimulate demand and growth in our System Sales. We have been managing those inflationary pressures through pricing management and enhanced procurement through volume growth.

In 2016 we decided to invest in store expansion and to accelerate store openings. We opened 12 new stores and added 6 more towns/ cities. In the period January-March 2017 we added 4 new stores in 4 new towns/cities; today there are 39 Domino's Pizza stores in 14 towns/cities. We expect to reach the 50 store mark during this year.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses (S,G&A)

In 2016 Selling, General and Administrative expenses (S,G&A) were 29% of System Sales, a 15 percentage points improvement against 2015 (44% in 2015), both measured using the actual average exchange rates for 2016 and 2015.

The opening of new stores in new towns and cities requires investment in the store expansion team and additional area managers to oversee both corporate and sub-franchised store performance. As we open more stores these additional costs will become proportionately less significant and the overall impact of S,G&A on Group EBITDA will continue to reduce.

As our national coverage of stores grows the prospect of national television advertising becomes more realistic, both in terms of the efficiency of media spend and the availability of Domino's Pizza to potential consumers.

Direct costs

In preparation for further store openings and continuing growth in System Sales we will be extending our commissary capacity in 2017 with the construction of a new facility on the outskirts of ód , a large city in the centre of Poland with excellent access to the motorway network. We have approached this investment with the same capital light model that we applied to our Warsaw facility. This additional commissary capacity will impact our Direct Costs through additional rent and operating costs, production labour and warehousing labour. As System Sales grow the impact of this additional commissary capacity on Direct Costs will be proportionately less marked and the benefits of lower production costs and warehouse product handling costs will be seen in further improved corporate store EBITDA and commissary gross profit.

The opening of new stores in new towns and cities results in higher distribution costs, which in turn will become proportionally less significant as those costs are spread across towns and cities with growing store penetrations. The opening of our second commissary in the centre of Poland will reduce distribution expenses with stores located in the west, north and south of Poland. The current commissary in Warsaw will service Warsaw and stores located to the east.

4 stores have been opened in 4 new towns and cities since 1 January 2017, totalling 39 stores to-date.

Sales Key Performance Indicators

62% growth in System Sales (PLN) was supported by 27% growth in like-for-like System Sales (PLN) and the opening of 12 new stores in 2016. 27% like-for-like System Sales growth comprises a mix of 24% like-for-like System order count growth and a 3% growth in average net check. Delivery System Sales ordered online are growing, however newly opened stores need time to build online customers and that will dilute the System average.

  Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European 
  Union, IFRIC Interpretations and the Companies 
  Act 2006 applicable to Companies reporting under 
  IFRS. The financial statements have been prepared 
  in accordance with IFRS and IFRIC interpretations 
  issued and effective or issued and early adopted 
  as at the time of preparing these statements 
  (March 2017). The preparation of financial statements 
  in accordance with IFRS requires the use of 
  certain critical accounting estimates. It also 
  requires management to exercise judgement in 
  the process of applying the Company's accounting 
  policies. 
 
 
2. 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. 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.

Non-recurring 
 Items 
Non-recurring items include items which are not 
 sufficiently large to be classified as exceptional, 
 but in the opinion of the Directors, are not part 
 of the underlying trading performance of the Group. 
 The provision for additional VAT payable has been 
 recognised following the reversal of a previous 
 ruling by the Polish VAT authorities.

The tax on the Group's loss before tax differs 
 from the theoretical amount that would arise using 
 the tax rate applicable to profits of the consolidated 
 entities as follows: 
 
                                                 2016         2015

The Directors have reviewed the tax rates applicable 
 in the different tax jurisdictions in which the 
 Group operates. They have concluded that a tax 
 rate of 19% represents the overall tax rate applicable 
 to the Group. 
 
 
6. LOSS PER 
 SHARE 
The loss per ordinary share has been calculated 
 as follows: 
 
                            2016         2016         2015         2015

                          of shares       tax       of shares       tax

  Diluted                128,931,485  (2,493,401)  109,369,484  (2,193,263) 
  ---------------------  -----------  -----------  -----------  ----------- 
 
The weighted average number of shares for the 
 year excludes those shares in the Company held 
 by the employee benefit trust. At 31st December 
 2016 the basic and diluted loss per share is the 
 same, as the vesting of JOSS, SIP or share option 
 awards would reduce the loss per share and is, 
 therefore, anti-dilutive.

Franchise fees consisting of the cost of purchasing 
 the Master Franchise Agreement (MFA) from Domino's 
 Pizza Overseas Franchising B.V. have been capitalised 
 and are written off over the term of the MFA. 
 The difference between the present value of loans 
 to sub-franchisees recognised and the cash advanced 
 has been capitalised as an intangible asset and 
 are amortised over the life of a new franchise 
 agreement of 10 years. The amortisation of intangible 
 fixed assets is included within administrative 
 expenses in the Income Statement.
