Iwona Olbryś, Chief Executive of DP Poland said:
"With the delivery market growing and the use of digital and
online payments increasing we believe that we are well positioned.
Alongside our delivery expertise, we have a strong brand, an
experienced and dedicated team and a reputation for quality of
product and services. We have all the ingredients to continue
growing.
Thus, despite the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, we will continue to
work on growing Domino's in Poland.
Work continues on the potential acquisition of Dominium S.A.,
with both parties delighted to receive Polish Anti-trust clearance
recently. Further announcements will be made as and when
appropriate.
(1) System Sales - total retail sales including sales from
corporate and sub-franchised stores, unaudited.
(2) Like-for-like growth in PLN, matching trading periods for
the same stores between 1 January and 30 June 2019 and 1 January
and 30 June 2020.
(3) Excluding non-cash items, non-recurring items and store
pre-opening expenses.
(4) When a store's delivery area is split, by opening a second
store in its original delivery area, a significant portion of the
original store's customer database is allocated to the new store,
resulting in the original store losing sales. Calculating pre-split
like-for-likes allows us to see sales growth by matched delivery
areas, irrespective of the opening of new stores. Pre-split
like-for-likes are a standard measure adopted by many major
Domino's Pizza master franchisees

management contract) and 19 sub-franchised.
Chief Executive's Review
Group performance
Group performance in H1 2020 was broadly in line with
management's expectations, despite the impact of COVID-19. The
business operated during the period with minimal interruption.
System Sales increased by 2.51% to 42m PLN in H1 2020 from 41m
PLN in H1 2019.
Like-for-like(2) System Sales in the first quarter of the year
were negative at -4.1%, reflecting the initial impact of COVID-19.
However, like-for-like System Sales growth resumed in the second
quarter of the year, resulting in positive 0.5% like-for-like
System Sales growth for that period, continuing in the third
quarter with a strong 8.9% increase in sales.
Overall, Pre-IFRS 16 Group EBITDA losses increased in the period
by 3.4% year on year at constant exchange rates(5) . At actual
exchange rates(5) , (6) , Pre-IFRS 16 Group EBITDA losses increased
by 1.5% year on year.
Store performance
System Sales in the H1 2020 period increased by 2.51% year on
year. Pre-IFRS 16 corporate store EBITDA decreased by 11.4% year on
year.
As a result of the outbreak of the COVID-19 crisis early in the
year and the consequent lockdown in Poland, like-for-like System
Sales in the first half of the year were negative at -1.8%(2)
(-1.2% pre-split(4) ). However, we recovered quickly from the
initial lockdown, achieving positive like-for-like sales in Q2 and
better like-for-like sales in Q3. System Sales growth continues in
October to date.
Like-for-like System Sales growth per quarter were as
follows:
Q1 -4.1%
Q2 +0.5%
Q3 +8.9%
Performance in Warsaw since the COVID-19 lockdown remains poor
on account of our stores in commercial areas, which remain quiet.
However, we are pleased to observe outstanding performance in other
cities: notwithstanding the COVID-19 impact, we have cities
achieving double digit growth in H1, including Wroc aw, Tczew, Bia
ystok, Toruń, Elbl g, Katowice and Poznań.
Marketing and product innovation
In 2020 we are continuing our Influencer campaign with two
Polish chefs: Matteo Brunetti - a Polish/Italian celebrity chef,
and a MasterChef Poland competition finalist - and Gaja Kuroń, also
a celebrity chef, who took part in the same competition.
Matteo and Gaja each created one pizza that became part of our
Limited Edition in Q2 - "Mamma Mia" by Matteo Brunett, and
"Swojska" by Gaja Kuroń.
We used content, Influencers and channels that enabled us to
reach the younger segment of our customers. This was a positive
move, especially during the initial COVID-19 lockdown, when
students were staying at home and studying online. We introduced a
mobile phone game which allows users to 'catch' pizza slices in
their mouths and earn higher discounts! We cooperate with
Influencers, who have significant support on social media,
especially with our younger customers. They post on their social
media platforms information about our current promotions, fast and
contactless delivery, online ordering and our artificual reality
game.
In addition, in 2020 we are focusing in our marketing campaign
on the pleasure that comes with eating pizza. This was highlighted
in our new video, as well as the fast delivery and high quality of
our products. In Q2 we moved from weekly offers to more focused
daily promotions. This has proved to be a good decision during the
COVID-19 pandemic, when customers' behaviour started to shift with
a decrease in weekend sales and greater activity during the working
week and allowed us to make better use of the content on our
platforms and our marketing budget.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, we have worked hard to
communicate with our staff and customers regarding our safe,
contactless delivery offering, the high standards of hygiene in our
stores and our support of healthcare workers by delivering pizzas
to hospitals for staff members.
2020 to date has also been notable for our digital performance.
As in previous years we have continued to grow this channel. We are
building a new digital platform to respond to the market growth and
reinforce our leadership in this field. Our new website will
deliver greater functionality than our existing one, and allow us
to digitalise further our business operations. It will gather
valuable customer insight, but the ultimate goal is to provide
better customer experience. COVID-19 has created a great
opportunity for the delivery market, as well as digital and online
payments, and we are working every day to be the best in class.
Food aggregators
As a part of the growing delivery market, food aggregators have
become important 'search engines' for food. We have been working on
a test with Pyszne.pl (takeaway.com) for some months and we have
recently started with a second aggregator test with Glovo. Our
interaction to date has been positive. Our objective is to generate
incremental orders with higher average spend; we are broadly
satisfied with the early result.
Potential acquisition of Dominium S.A.
Work continues on the possible acquisition of Dominium S.A.,
with both parties delighted to receive Polish Anti-trust clearance
recently. Further announcements will be made as and when
appropriate.
Current trading and outlook
The year 2020 is undoubtedly without precedent. We are all
facing the COVID-19 presence and its impact on our lives and our
businesses. Further Government restrictions were imposed last week
across Poland which affect the food and beverage industry, but
these new rules do not currently apply to delivery and take-away
food. Meanwhile, the Polish economy continues to be perceived as
more resilient than many of the other European countries. At
Domino's we believe that we have great products, we are expert in
delivery and digital platforms, and our team has proved the ability
of our brand to recover and to perform well under COVID-19.
The delivery market is growing, digital and online payments are
growing and in this environment we believe that we are in a good
position. Alongside our delivery expertise, we have a strong brand,
an experienced and dedicated team and a reputation for quality of
product and services. We have all the ingredients to continue
growing.
Thus, despite the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, we will continue to
work on growing Domino's in Poland.

The weighted average number of shares for the period excludes those shares

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.
