ANNUAL REPORT 2013  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDCHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

The past 12 months has seen the introduction of a number of significant new platforms 
to the business across the Australian, New Zealand and European markets.

We have invested considerably in digital 
advancements in all five markets over the past 
year, the results of which can be seen in the 
Company’s solid financial results.  
The company achieved an underlying[1] Net  
Profit After Tax of $30.4 million, up 13.0% on 
the previous year. 

The year’s double digit profit growth, was 
generated from Total Network Sales of $848.6 
million. Same Store Sales for the full year grew 
2.0% over the corresponding period last year. 

The Company will pay shareholders a final 
fully-franked dividend of 15.4 cents per share, 
in addition to the interim dividend of 15.5 per 
share. This brings the full year dividend to 30.9 
cents. In addition to the dividends, a $30 million 
capital return was made to shareholders during 
FY13 bringing the total return to shareholders in 
the year to 73.7 cents per share.

We have seen great results from focussing on 
improving the quality, service and image of our 
products and stores. This includes our store 
refurbishment program with the roll-out of our 
new Entice image and strong product launches 
in all five markets. 

Domino’s Pizza Enterprises (DPE) added 67 
new stores to the network including 27 new 
stores in Australia and New Zealand and a 
record 40 new organic stores in Europe, taking 
the year-end count for the Group to 970. 

With Australia and New Zealand continuing to 
lead the way in digital and online innovations, 
the milestones achieved in this area of the 
business are also reflected in the results and 
are beginning to build momentum in Europe.

We will continue to make leaps and bounds in 
this area and set new benchmarks to highlight 
our achievements across the various markets, 
as technology continues to play such a 
significant role in our sales success. The fact 
that more than half of sales are now coming 
from digital platforms provides an insight to its 
importance now and in the future. 

We also look forward to the opportunity for 
substantial store growth as we embark on an 
exciting new chapter, with the acquisition of 
75% interest in Domino’s Pizza Japan (DPJ)- 
the company’s biggest ever acquisition. We are 
confident Japan is a growth market with huge 
potential and we look forward to taking you on 
this journey with us.   

On behalf of the Directors, I thank our 
shareholders for your continued support. 
Your ongoing commitment to DPE provides 
us with the foundations to drive future 
growth. Additionally, our ongoing solid 
financial performance would not be possible 
without the support and commitment of our 
senior management, franchisees and store 
employees. Your trust and belief in the brand 
allows us the opportunity to continue to explore 
new opportunities for growth, as well as keep 
up with retail trends and customer demands to 
improve our business for the future. 

[1] Underlying profit is the Statutory profit contained in Appendix 4E of the Domino’s FY13 Annual Report adjusted for significant items specific to 
the 2013 Financial Year. These items were specifically in relation to 2013 and therefore FY12 Statutory profit was not adjusted. Significant charges 
included transactions, acquisitions and additional legal charges relating to acquisition activity and additional costs over those planned with the 
ongoing legal claims in France. As the Underlying profit is different to the Statutory profit, we note that this has not been subject to audit. Refer to 
Appendix for a complete reconciliation between Underlying and Statutory profit.

ANNUAL REPORT 2013  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDGROUP
CEO’S REPORT

This year marks 30 years since the first 
Domino’s store opened in Australia and 35 
years since the first Silvio’s store fired up their 
ovens. The company has evolved and matured 
considerably over the years but one thing that 
has remained the same is our passion and drive 
to own the ‘social eating occasion.’ Our product 
brings people together, and it’s evident by the 
growth the business has seen over the past  
35 years that we have a recipe that works.

5

From our humble beginnings, we know the 
past year in particular, has seen our business 
grow from a pizza business to an online digital 
business that sells pizza, where we are best in 
class for digital sales, marketing and execution. 
Likewise our new store designs are enticing 
and contemporary, being talked about all over 
the world as the best in Domino’s.

We are extremely proud of the momentum we 
have not only maintained but built and that in 
such a significant year, we haven’t lost sight of 
the importance of providing customers value 
for money and great tasting products. 

As such, over the past 12 months we have 
listened to our customers and responded to 
their demands to have more for less by creating 
our new Chef’s Best™ range in Australia and 
New Zealand – DPE’s biggest launch in 20 
years. Improvements in our menu have been 
sparked by both the desire to impress existing 
Domino’s customers, win old customers back 
and a commitment to attract new customers to 
the brand.   

6

ANNUAL REPORT 2013  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDThe focus has also been on product innovation 
and new store roll-outs to drive sales and 
margins across the five markets. I am as 
confident as ever that, we are well positioned 
for the year ahead. We cannot forget that 
we also celebrated an important milestone 
in opening our 500th Australian Domino’s 
store in Victoria – further emphasising the 
growth of the brand. And, we added one more 
country to the Group with the Company’s 
biggest acquisition since we floated in 2005 
– a 75% acquisition of Japan’s third largest 
pizza delivery chain, Domino’s Pizza Japan. 

The acquisition represents an exciting 
opportunity to leverage our proven track 
record of successfully growing the Domino’s 
network to deliver shareholder value. 
Domino’s Pizza Japan has 259 stores, with 
a target to grow this to 600 stores, lifting 
the Group’s numbers to more than 1,200 
stores, across three continents. Japan is a 
strategic location for DPE’s future expansion, 
providing access to a large market which is 
well suited to significant new store roll-outs. 

We also look forward to implementing the 
success we have had in our other markets 
through our online sales, with already more 
than half of our sales in Australia currently 
executed online. In Japan, this number sits at 
an impressive 50% and we have plans to grow 
this in line with our Australia and New Zealand 
markets to 80% in the next three years.

7

ANNUAL REPORT 2013  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDFINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 

We have made it a strategic priority over the 
past 12 months to be more accessible to our 
customers through a comprehensive range of 
online ordering interfaces, including improved 
platforms to showcase our product range, 
all using HTML5 technology, a new iPad and 
Facebook App. 

Our determination to be the market leader for 
digital innovation has already seen us achieve 
over 50% of sales and customers are now 
accessing Domino’s faster, easier and with 
more control than ever before.

Total returns to shareholders in the financial 
year amounted to 73.7 cents per share, 
which includes two separate capital returns 
of 21.4 cents per share each, an interim 
dividend of 15.5 cents per share and a 
final dividend of 15.4 cents per share.

While digital advancements and product 
innovation remained our primary focus areas 
over the past 12 months, we have been 
committed to providing customers value for 
money. These areas of the business have 
contributed to solid financial results for 
Domino’s with an underlying[1] Net Profit  
After Tax, up 13.0% on the previous year to 
$30.4 million. 

We had a total network sales that grew to  
$848.6 million and that was achieved with an 
increase of 2.0% like for like and 67 new stores. 
We also reported strong underlying EBITDA of 
$55.9 million, an increase of 16.2% over the 
corresponding period last year.

The Australian and New Zealand market 
continued to benefit from a combination of 
improved margins, economies of scale and 
the continued sell down of corporate stores, 
recording EBITDA growth of 17.5%.

The solid full year results, including the double 
digit profit growth, were attributed to successful 
new product innovations across both markets 
and a significant increase in sales coming from 
continued advancements in digital platforms.

We rolled out new products including our biggest 
product launch in 20 years, with the addition of 
our new Chef’s Best™ range and the successful 
launch of the Artisan pizza range in France. 

The results also reflect our commitment to 
providing our customers greater accessibility 
and flexibility around ordering platforms. 

[1] Underlying profit is the Statutory profit contained in Appendix 4E of the Domino’s FY13 Annual Report adjusted for significant items specific to 
the 2013 Financial Year. These items were specifically in relation to 2013 and therefore FY12 Statutory profit was not adjusted. Significant charges 
included transactions, acquisitions and additional legal charges relating to acquisition activity and additional costs over those planned with the 
ongoing legal claims in France. As the Underlying profit is different to the Statutory profit, we note that this has not been subject to audit. Refer to 
Appendix for a complete reconciliation between Underlying and Statutory profit.

ANNUAL REPORT 2013  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDDIGITAL CHAMPIONS

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND 
Today we believe we are Australia’s most 
sophisticated digital retailer in the QSR 
industry. Both the Australian and New Zealand 
markets continue to lead the way in digital 
and online innovations. The milestones 
achieved in this area of the business are 
heavily reflected in the solid financial results 
for Domino’s and clearly demonstrate 
our ability to pioneer the way for industry 
change in each of our five markets. 

Embracing technology is at the core of our 
operations. Our commitment to investing 
in solutions and our determination to be 
market leaders in digital innovation has 
seen Domino’s grow from only 1% of 
online orders in 2006, to over 50% today, 
half of which are from mobile phones. 

In order to help keep up with the speed of this 
growth, we have invested significantly in this 
area of the business including the launch of 
a new digital platform to facilitate expected 
sales growth and slice seconds off the ordering 
process for consumers. The launch of the 
new public ordering site was an essential 
step forward for the brand’s presence on the 
digital platform and the biggest change to 
online ordering since it was launched in 2006. 

Domino’s again pushed the envelope with 
a number of exciting digital innovations 
throughout the year with the launch of 
two new Apps including the iPad App in 
September 2012 featuring ‘Pizza Chef™’ 
and the Facebook Real Time App allowing 
customers to rate their feedback in real 
time on Facebook, a move never before 
seen on the Australian QSR landscape.

EUROPE 
In The Netherlands the launch of our iPhone 
App and Mobile launch in March 2013 helped 
to reinforce our online position. At the end of 
June 2013, online orders represented 20% 
of total orders in volume and 25% in value. 
The traffic on mobile already represents 43% 
of total traffic (website, mobile and iPhone), 
gradually replacing the use of computers. 

In France, we are working towards 
reaching the goal of 30% of online orders 
in volume by the end of 2013 and 40% in 
late 2014. This will be made possible due 
to the arrival of the mobile Application 
on Android in September and continual 
advancements to other online systems.

BEING THE CUSTOMER’S CHAMPION! 

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND 
Connecting with our customers is at the 
heart of everything we do. This means being 
accountable, transparent and being the 
customer’s champion.  We see our presence on 
social media as an integral part of this process. 

EUROPE 
In The Netherlands we grew from 1,000 
to 100,000 fans in April 2013 and, after 
McDonald’s are recognised as the biggest 
QSR on Facebook. Our fan count in France 
on Facebook now sits at over 300,000.

An increased focus on social media means 
that we have been busy creating content 
specifically for this space and offering our fans 
and followers a unique point of difference. 
We are now creating custom online content 
specifically for channels such as Facebook and 
YouTube which is proving to be a huge success. 
On YouTube alone we enjoyed 1,000,000 
YouTube views between July 12 and July 13.

We have reached over one million Facebook 
fans in Australia and New Zealand and have 
been recognised as the leading publicly 
listed Australian brand on Facebook 
by ‘like’ count as at June 2013.

ANNUAL REPORT 2013  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED 
NEW STORES 

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND 
We have been working towards the plan we 
put in place that included both the ongoing 
organic development of our business and the 
acquisition of a number of other pizza shops. 

A total of 67 new Domino’s stores were 
opened during the year taking the group 
number to 970 stores. 

Work on rolling out and implementing the 
new Entice look and feel Domino’s branding 
continued through the year with the business 
reaping the benefits of the new layout as a 
way to reconnect with customers and 
reinvigorate the way we sell pizzas. 

A total of 74 Domino’s stores underwent 
refurbishment (54 in Australia and 20 in New 
Zealand), reopening as one of the Company’s 
new look stores which feature softer tones 
and wood panelling, an enhanced counter 
and the latest technology, improving the 
overall Domino’s experience for customers. 

EUROPE 
The European business has grown at an 
accelerated rate, opening a significant 
number of new corporate stores in the past 
two years, expanding from 10 to 55.

We have opened a record 40 new 
organic stores in Europe during the year 
with a total network sales growth of 
12.8% (constant currency) on FY12.  

The Netherlands opened their official 
first Entice branded store this past 
financial year and have a strong pipeline 
of new stores planned for FY14.

11

ANNUAL REPORT 2013  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDMILESTONE: 
500TH AUSTRALIAN STORE OPENING!

Domino’s celebrated the opening of the 
500th Australian store in a ceremony 
fitting to mark the significant milestone. 

The red carpet was rolled out, the staff 
gathered to build momentum and the general 
public lined up to take advantage of the 500 
free pizzas given away to mark the occasion. 

The 500th store was opened in 
Beaconsfield, Victoria where we have a 
great team ready to roll out the Domino’s 
brand and become a part of the rich and 
dynamic Beaconsfield community. 

The store features Domino’s new Entice 
designs, which incorporates the existing 
structure of the building into the store 
layout and features artwork inspired 
by the rich and dynamic Beaconsfield 
history including the railway station.

It was a great occasion to look at how far the 
brand has come since the first store opening 
and we are extremely proud of the progress 
we have made in all areas of the business.

DOMINO’S PIZZA JAPAN 

DPE acquired a 75% equity interest in the third 
largest pizza delivery chain in Japan, Domino’s 
Pizza Japan (DPJ). Comprising of 216 corporate 
stores and 43 franchise stores, the acquisition 
represents an exciting opportunity to leverage 
our experience in store growth.

The acquisition of Domino’s Pizza Japan means 
additional growth, and a huge market for us 
with significant opportunities to open new 
stores given the large population.

We are looking forward to introducing our 
product expertise, innovation and experience in 
the digital space to Japanese customers.

The acquisition increases our total store 
network to over 1,200 stores, further cementing 
DPE as the leading international Domino’s 
franchisee.

13

ANNUAL REPORT 2013  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDLOOKING FORWARD 

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND 
Outside of the Domino’s Japan acquisition,  
DPE has a busy year ahead with the recent 
upgrade to HTML5 technology in Australia and 
New Zealand meaning a bigger push towards 
digital to drive sales and customer count further. 

We are confident we can continue the current 
momentum and we expect to deliver EBIDTA 
growth in the region of 15%, and to add 
approximately 70 to 80 new stores to the network 
during this time. 

We also expect to have a record number of 
organic new store openings, particularly in our 
three European countries, and we will continue 
to push ourselves to reach new milestones in 
this area. The sell down of corporate stores will 
continue to be a key objective in FY14 and, in line 
with this strategy, we expect to predominantly 
open franchisee stores during this period. 
DPE continues to work towards the goal of 
reaching 80% of business through online sales 
and we are committed to new digital platforms  
to help facilitate expected sales growth in this 
area. This also means striving to grow this area 
through aggressive online print, POS and our 
biggest television and marketing campaign in  
the past two years. 

EUROPE
The European market will be similarly busy  
with the continued roll-out of the Pulse 
POS system, as well as the move to HTML5 
technology, which will see the majority 
of Australia and New Zealand systems 
implemented into The Netherlands business  
by December 2013.

FRANCE & BELGIUM 

The traffic on mobile already represents 43% 
of total traffic (website, mobile and iPhone), 
gradually replacing the use of computers.

Domino’s Pizza France has the goal to 
reach 30% of online orders in volume by 
the end of 2013 and 40% in late 2014. This 
will be made   possible due to the arrival in 
September of the mobile Application on 
Android and to the power of online ordering 
loyalty programs as it becomes a reflex for 
customers and a new Domino’s experience.

We will only build a small number of corporate 
stores in FY14, growing our store count through 
the recruitment of new high calibre franchisees.

THE NETHERLANDS 

All stores in The Netherlands are set to be 
running the Pulse POS system by the end 
of October. The move to HTML5 technology 
will enable us to roll-out the majority of the 
Australia and New Zealand digital platforms 
to The Netherlands by October 2013. These 
enhancements to the business will provide 
customers further convenience when ordering 
online and we intend to continue to enhance 
and grow our online ordering capabilities in 
the next twelve months to further lift sales.

JAPAN
We will work closely with the Domino’s 
Japanese business to look at ways of 
implementing successful innovations of the 
current DPE brand and continue to grow the 
online business even further. Similarly, we 
are confident we will be able to achieve a 
15% EBITDA growth and add approximately 
40 to 50 new stores to the Japan network.

ANNUAL REPORT 2013  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDPRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Across all markets, we have continued on our journey of providing customers with 
innovative, healthier products that are affordable and don’t compromise on taste. 

We are extremely proud of the progress we 
have made at dramatically improving the quality 
of ingredients and products across all five 
markets. This includes the new Artizza range in 
France which has proven to deliver strong 
margins for the business and position our 
product as much more premium in the market. 
We have also worked hard to deliver on the 
value adding strategy in The Netherlands – 

upgrading our existing range of pizzas and 
delivering more for less for the consumer. 
Domino’s has always been great at 
democratising great food, and positioning our 
new premium range of Chef’s Best™ pizzas at a 
great price point for customers is no exception. 
All of these products have helped to improve 
our image and attract new customers to the 
Domino’s brand.

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND  

MORE OF WHAT WE LOVE... 
CHICKEN AND DESSERT    
Pizza is the ultimate social food and so too 
are the new additions to the Domino’s menu – 
perfect to be shared among friends and family. 

The Chicken and Dessert Sampler Packs 
were created as the perfect complement 
to any special family meal or social 
occasion. They offer convenience, 
choice and a competitive price point. 

The Chicken Sampler Pack consists of four 
Oven Baked Chicken Wings, Chicken Ribs, and 
Chicken Kickers with a Ranch Dipping Sauce. 

The Ultimate Dessert Pack provides a great 
sampling opportunity for customers who 
might have overlooked Domino’s for dessert. 
It consists of 12 Mini Dutch Pancakes, three 
Chocolate Brownies with Chocolate Dipping 
Sauce and three Battered Bananas. 

CHEF’S BEST™   
Domino’s responded to the need to provide 
more for less for customers in March 2013 
by launching a new range to the market 
to rival competitor pizza chain offers and 
reposition value in eyes of the customer. 

The Chef’s Best™ range consisted of eight 
new pizzas (seven in New Zealand) all made 
complete with restaurant quality ingredients 
such as ground beef, ham off the bone, roast 
pork belly, oregano, blue cheese, camembert, 
crème fraiche, duck and baby spinach.

The new range was set to revolutionise the 
pizza industry and put Domino’s in the  
spotlight and it certainly did just that.  
Sales were significantly higher than usual 
for a new product launch with the Chef’s 
Best™ range representing an unprecedented 
25.22%, equating to over a quarter of 
all orders placed in the first week.

The Chef’s Best™ range achieved what it 
set out to do and at such a low selling price 
the range continues its popularity with one in 
five orders including a Chef’s Best™ pizza. 

CHEESY CRUST    
As cheese prices around the world increased, 
Domino’s did the unthinkable this financial 
year period – promised pizza lovers even more 
of the cheese they love on their pizzas and 
launched a new Cheesy Crust to the menu.  

We had been working on perfecting our 
Cheesy Crust for months, making sure that 
it would impress pizza consumers and give 
them more of what they love - cheese. 

Our Cheesy Crust is softer, stretchier, 
tastier and healthier – we’ve reduced the 
fat content of our Mozzarella cheese by 
30% – and we’ve also put more cheese 
filling into our crust for a greater cavity fill.

ARTIZZA     
This premium Artizza pizza range was intended 
to emphasise our knowledge and love for pizza 
in France. It wasn’t introduced to change the 
existing range, or dethrone our key recipes 
that make the success of Domino’s, but to 
increase the perceived value of our pizzas. 

The delicious recipe consists of: tomato 
sauce, fresh spinach, mozzarella, onions, 
chicken, dried cherry tomatoes and basilic 
sauce. With 93% of pizza consumers believing 
the quality of pizza dough is essential to a 
good pizza, the emphasis was placed on 
quality of our fresh dough and originality 
of our pizzas for this successful campaign. 
Pizza recipes including Sweet Chèvre, 
Sunset Coco and Artizza Poulet-Basilic.

THE NETHERLANDS – DUTCH PANCAKES     
In November 2012, we added the popular 
Dutch pancakes to our menu making them 
available to consumers in the supermarket 
and in pancake stalls at festivals.

*Offre non cumulable, pâte pan +1.60€, valable dans les magasins participants. Jusqu’au 06/01/13.

FESTI SAUMON     
The new Festi Saumon pizza is made up 
of fresh cream, mozzarella, salmon, olives, 
aneth, fresh tomatoes and lemon juice. 
During the promotion, the limited time 
offer price point was advertised nationally 
on bus shelters near Domino’s stores for 
seven days and supported by radio.

A new App allowing customers to rate their 
feedback in real time on Facebook was rolled 
out by Domino’s in Australia and New Zealand 
in February 2013, in a move never before 
seen on the Australian QSR landscape. 

The real-time feedback App allows customers 
to rate stores, with the information shared 
on Facebook in a bid to improve the stores’ 
service and operations. The App, which can 
be accessed from Domino’s Facebook page, 
allows customers to see how their local store 
performs. In addition, customers and non-
customers can review recently rated stores and 
view the top five rated stores in the country. 

This move cemented our position as the 
most transparent company in Australia for 
customer feedback and accountability. 

i PAD APP AND PIZZA CHEF™
In an Australian first for digital, Domino’s 
encouraged Australians to be their very own 
Pizza Chef™, offering them the chance to create 
the pizza of their choice without even stepping 
into the kitchen. Domino’s launched an iPad 
App designed and built exclusively for iPads 
in October 2012. Not only does it include 1.8 
million pizza combinations, but it also allows 
customers to design and make their own pizza 
with the visual pizza builder ‘Pizza Chef™.’ 

The ‘Pizza Chef™’ is a creative feature for 
customers to make and see their pizza in a 
fun and interactive way. Additionally, GPA 
integration allows customers to easily locate 
their nearest store for pick up, while the Live 
Pizza Tracker means customers know exactly 
the stage of their order.  The new App was all 
about putting the customers in control and 
brings to life the fun, interactive and social 
elements of the pizza eating occasion.

NEW DIGITAL PLATFORM 
ORDERING WEBSITE – HTML5 
In July 2013, Domino’s introduced a new digital 
platform to facilitate expected sales growth 
and slice seconds off the ordering process. 
The move saw the introduction of a Device 
Agnostic HTML 5 ordering system replacing the 
Flash, Accessible and Mobile ordering sites, 
reducing maintenance costs and providing an 
improved user experience for customers. The 
transformation allows a customised ordering 
experience that works across a range of 
devices whether it be on a Mobile or Desktop.

The success of the new online ordering website 
in Australia and New Zealand will see The 
Netherlands go live with the HTML5 Online 
Ordering site in November this year to help 
continue to drive sales and customer counts 
even further.

We are always looking for innovative ways to connect, reward and engage with 
our loyal fans, and the below social media initiatives are just more examples of 
Domino’s using this platform to inspire fans of the brand and get them involved 
in all aspects of our business. 

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND
In July 2012, in a world first, Domino’s Australia 
asked its 670,000+ Facebook fans and budding 
designers to help design the Company’s next 
pizza box. As well as nationwide exposure 
for their design, the winner received a prize 
of one thousand dollars. The idea for the 
competition came from the important role 
the pizza box plays in the customer’s pizza 
eating experience, coupled with Domino’s 
desire to give back to their Facebook fans.  

The campaign generated a lot of engagement, 
interaction and interest from our online 
community and media and reinforced our 
position of being the customer’s champion.

SOCIAL 
RESPONSIBILITY 

The Domino’s brand has continued its support for a 
variety of charities and not-for-profit organisations 
to raise money, host Doughraiser Fundraisers in 
local communities and give product away to support 
functions and various causes at a local level. We feel 
it’s important to start at a grass roots level and 
support the local communities we integrate into. 

DISASTER RECOVERY AND RELIEF 
Domino’s is proud to support communities 
across Australia and New Zealand every day of 
the year. However, never is it more important to 
have our ovens firing and pizzas cooking than 
in times of adversity. While pizza is our first 
passion, helping communities in difficult times 
and when they need it the most is something 
we are extremely passionate about.

This year we were able to move fast and 
mobilise food and people to assist in the 
Tasmanian Bush Fires, during the Queensland 
Floods including the Bundaberg devastation 
and in Ipswich when a family lost everything in 
a severe house fire just to mention a few. 

DOUGHRAISER FUNDRAISERS 
This year we continued to support plenty of 
great local causes through our Doughraiser 
Fundraiser program and even a national 
campaign called Love Your Sister.

We followed and continue to support ex 
Secret Life of Us star Samuel Johnson and 
his crew as they ride around Australia on a 
unicycle in a quest to raise much needed 
funds and awareness for Breast Cancer. 
Samuel’s sister Connie was diagnosed with 
the disease and his commitment stems from 
keeping promises he made to her - raising 
a million dollars for Breast Cancer, raising 
awareness of the disease and at the same 
time, breaking the Guinness World Record for 
the longest journey ever made on a unicycle.

Not only did we offer $10,000 for groceries 
but plenty of Domino’s stores hosted 
Doughraiser Fundraisers to show their 
support as Samuel rode into town.

PARTNERS FOUNDATION 

give today, need tomorrow

Founded in 1997, The Partners Foundation 
is Domino’s internal non-profit organisation. 
It assists team members in times of special 
need or tragedy as a result of natural disasters, 
unexpected personal distress, on-the-job 
accidents and other emergencies.

Formed on the principle of ‘give today, need 
tomorrow’ the Partners Foundation is all about 
looking after our own employees in all situations 
which has helped build our strong team culture.

Since its inception, The Partners Foundation 
has provided more than $550,000 in aid to 
team members and their families facing crisis 
situations related to accidents, illness or other 
personal tragedies.

DOMINO’S AND THE ENVIRONMENT

As the delivery experts, we need to ensure we 
are continually improving our service times and 
wowing our customers with speedy delivery 
times. We do this by keeping the hustle in 
the store and not on the street, keeping our 
delivery territories tight and accessible and 
ensuring our delivery fleet is suited to our 
surrounding area.

Over the past year we have refined our delivery 
fleet from cars to scooters and now to electric 
scooters and electric bicycles. Not only has 
this offered cost savings to franchisees and 
stores, but we are seeing rapid improvements 
in delivery times where scooters and bicycles 
beat the traffic congestion, parking constraints 
and fuel frenzies that are unavoidable with cars.

Electric bicycles have been successfully 
trialled in inner city stores across Hobart, 
Melbourne and the Gold Coast. 

Producing zero emissions and minimising 
stores’ impact on the environment, the  
results have been extremely encouraging  
for further roll out.

To improve our supply flow in Europe, we have 
introduced extremeley efficient double load 
trucks. These trucks meet the Euro6 standard 
and they can transport twice as much as 
our normal trucks. This will not only save us 
on diesel, but also considerably reduce CO2 
emissions. We are continuously investing in 
environmentally friendly solutions, such as  
this initiative.

Our new utility tracking device is being tested in 
stores to lower electricity and gas consumption, 
as well as monitor store and cool room 
temperatures. The system is already proving 
to have a positive impact with a significant 
reduction in gas consumption and a saving in 
electricity usage recorded.

2013 ANNUAL REPORT  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDThe Board has adopted a Corporate Governance 
Charter, a Code of Conduct for Directors and 
Officers, a comprehensive set of Board policies 
regarding: Independence and Conflicts of 
Interest, Risk Management, Board Performance 
Evaluation, Chief Executive Officer Performance 
Evaluation, Continuous Disclosure, Diversity, 
External Communications and Securities 
Trading and an Audit Committee Charter 
to assist in the discharge of its Corporate 
Governance responsibilities. Copies are 
available from the Company’s registered office 
or may be downloaded from the Company’s 
website under the investor section.

The Board has in place Corporate Governance 
practices that it considers to be the most 
appropriate for DPE Limited. The Board also 
recognises that Corporate Governance is not 
a static matter, and needs reviewing regularly 
as DPE Limited evolves. This statement 
describes the main Corporate Governance 
practices in place during the year. 

ROLE OF THE BOARD
The Board is responsible for guiding and 
monitoring DPE Limited on behalf of 
shareholders. While at all times the Board 
retains full responsibility, in discharging its 
stewardship it makes use of committees. 
Specialist committees are able to focus on a 
particular responsibility and provide informed 
feedback to the Board. The Board seeks to 
identify the expectations of shareholders, 
as well as other regulatory obligations. In 
addition, the Board is also responsible for 
identifying areas of significant business 
risk and ensuring arrangements are in 
place to adequately manage those risks. 

The Board is responsible, and primarily 
accountable to the shareholders, for the effective 
Corporate Governance of the Company. The 
Board is responsible for directing management 
to optimise the Company’s performance 
and increase shareholder wealth by:

• providing strategic direction and approving 

the annual operating budget;

• appointing and appraising the Managing 
Director/Chief Executive Officer, ensuring 
that there are adequate plans and 
procedures for succession planning; 
• ensuring a clear relationship between 
performance and executive directors’ 
and executives’ compensation;
• ensuring that the performance of 

senior executive (including executive 
directors) is monitored and evaluated;

• approving and monitoring major 
capital expenditure programs;

• monitoring the operating and financial 

performance of the Company;

• overseeing the Company and developing 

key Company policies, including its 
control and accountability systems;

• ensuring compliance with laws, regulations, 

appropriate accounting standards  
and corporate policies (including  
the Code of Conduct);

• ensuring that the market and shareholders are 
fully informed of material developments; and

• recognising the legitimate 
interests of stakeholders.

Those matters not specifically reserved 
for the Board are the responsibility of 
management, but are subject to oversight by 
the Board. The Corporate Governance of the 
Company is carried out through delegation of 
appropriate authority to the Chief Executive 
Officer and, through the Chief Executive 
Officer, to management of the Company. 

Letters of appointment
Directors receive formal letters of appointment 
setting out the key terms, conditions and 
expectations of their appointment. The 
Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer’s 
responsibilities and terms of employment, 
including termination entitlements, are also 
set out in an executive service agreement. 
Executive service agreements are also prepared 
for the key management personnel, covering 
duties, time commitments, induction and 
the Corporate Governance Framework.

Board Meetings
The Board held 16 formal meetings during 
the year. Attendance at the 2013 Board 
and Committee meetings is detailed 
on page 15 of the Annual Report. 

CRITERIA FOR BOARD MEMBERSHIP
For directors appointed by the Board, the 
Board will consider the range of skills 
and experience required in light of:

• the strategic direction and progress  

of the Company;

• the current composition of the Board; and
• the need for independence.
A director appointed by the Board must stand 
for election at the next Annual General Meeting 
(“AGM”). Apart from the Managing Director, 
all directors are subject to re-election by 
rotation at least once every three years. 

STRUCTURE OF THE BOARD
At the date of this report the Board 
comprises five directors and includes: 

• four independent non-executive directors 
(including the Chairman of the Board),

• one executive director.
Chairman of the Board is Mr Ross Adler. DPE 
Limited’s Managing Director/Chief Executive 
Officer is Mr Don Meij. Board members’ 
respective qualifications, skills, experience 
and dates of appointment are detailed on the 
Corporate Directory page of the Annual Report. 

The compensation paid to DPE Limited’s directors 
for the year ended 30 June 2013 is set out in the 
Remuneration Report on pages 16 to 23. 

Independence of Directors 
The Board comprises a majority of 
independent non-executive directors who, 
together with the executive director, have 
extensive commercial experience and bring 
independence, accountability and judgement to 
the Board’s deliberations to ensure maximum 
benefit to shareholders and employees. 

At each Board meeting the Board requires 
each independent director to disclose any new 
information which could, or could reasonably be 
perceived to, impair the director’s independence. 
In devising its policy on independence, the 
Board’s emphasis is to encourage independent 
judgement amongst all directors, at all times, 
irrespective of their background. Nonetheless, 
the Board in its nominations capacity will 
assess annually the ‘independence’ of each 
director in light of the ASX Principles. 

Independent Advice
To enable DPE Limited’s Board and its 
committees to fulfill their roles, it is considered 
appropriate that independent experts’ advice 
may be obtained at DPE Limited’s expense, 
after first indicating to the Chairman the 
nature of the advice to be sought and the 
party from whom the advice is to be sought. 
The Chairman will ensure that the party from 
whom the advice is to be sought has no conflict 
with DPE Limited in providing that advice.

Re-election of Directors
In accordance with DPE Limited’s Constitution, 
at each AGM of DPE Limited, one third of the 
directors (excluding the Managing Director) must 
stand for re-election. If their number is not three 
or a multiple of three, then the number nearest 
but not exceeding one third must stand for 
re-election. The directors to retire in every year 
are those who have been longest in office since 
their last election and, as between directors 
appointed on the same day, must (unless 
otherwise agreed between themselves) be 
determined by lot. In addition, no director other 
than the Managing Director may hold office 
for more than three years without standing 
for re-election, and any director appointed by 
the Board since the last AGM must stand for 
re-election at the next AGM. All retiring directors

and improving gender equality and 
outcomes for both women and men in the 
workplace.  All non-public sector employers 
with 100 or more employees are required 
to report annually under the WGE Act.

The Company has submitted its 2013

SECURITIES TRADING POLICY
The Company has adopted a policy that imposes 
certain restrictions on officers, employees 
and franchisees trading in the securities of the 
Company. The restrictions have been imposed to 
prevent inadvertent contraventions of the insider 
trading provisions of the Corporations Act 2001.

The key aspects of the policy are:

• trading whilst in the possession of material 
price-sensitive information is prohibited;
• trading is permitted without approval in the 
three week period after the release to the 
ASX of the half-yearly and annual results, the 
end of the AGM or at any time the Company 
has a prospectus open, but only if they have 
no inside information and the trading is not 
for short-term or speculative gain; and
• trading in other circumstances is only 
permitted if the person is personally 
satisfied that they are not in possession of 
inside information and they have obtained 
approval. Permission will be given for 
such trading only if the approving person 
is satisfied that the transaction would not 
be contrary to law, for speculative gain or 
to take advantage of inside information.

DPE Limited’s price-sensitive information 
is information which a reasonable person 
would expect to have a material effect on the 
price or value of DPE Limited’s securities. 

10

CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE POLICY
The Company has adopted a 
Continuous Disclosure policy so as to 
comply with its continuous disclosure 
obligations. The policy aims to:

• assess new information and co-ordinate 
any disclosure or releases to the ASX, 
or any advice required in relation to that 
information, in a timely manner;

• provide an audit trail of the decisions 
regarding disclosure to substantiate 
compliance with the Company’s 
continuous disclosure obligations; and

• ensure that employees, consultants, 

associated entities and advisers of the 
Company understand the obligations 
to bring material information to the 
attention of the Company Secretary.

Accountabilities and responsibilities
For administrative convenience, DPE Limited 
has nominated the Company Secretary as the 
person responsible for communications with 
the ASX. In addition, the Company Secretary 
has responsibility for overseeing and co-
ordinating disclosure of information to the ASX 
and communicating with the CEO and CFO 
in relation to continuous disclosure matters. 
The Company Secretary and Chief Financial 
Officer are also responsible for overseeing 
and co-ordinating disclosure of information 
to the media and to analysts, brokers and 
shareholders and communicating with the Board 
in relation to continuous disclosure matters.

Disclosure principle
In order to ensure DPE Limited meets 
its obligations of timely disclosure 
of such information, DPE Limited 
adheres to the following practice:

• immediate notification to the ASX of 

information concerning DPE Limited that 
a reasonable person would expect to have 
a material effect on the price or value of 
DPE Limited’s securities as prescribed 
under Listing Rule 3.1, except where 
such information is not required to be 
disclosed in accordance with the exception 
provisions of the ASX Listing Rules.

External communications
Under this Policy, only those DPE Limited 
employees who have been authorised 
by the Chairman or CEO can speak on 
behalf of the Company to the media, 
analysts or investors. DPE Limited will 
not disclose price-sensitive information 
to any investor or analyst before formally 
disclosing the information to the market. 

Release of briefing materials/media releases
All draft DPE Limited media releases and 
external presentations are reviewed by senior 
management to determine if they are subject 
to the continuous disclosure requirements. 
The purpose of that review is to ensure: 

• the factual accuracy of any information; 
• there is no material omission 

of information; and

• that the information will be 

disclosed in a timely manner. 

As a result of that review, any written material 
containing price-sensitive information to be 
used in briefing media, institutional investors 
or analysts, must be lodged with the ASX 
prior to the brief commencing. As soon as 
practicable after confirmation of receipt 
by the ASX, the briefing material is posted 
to DPE Limited’s corporate website. 

COMMUNICATIONS POLICY
The Board aims to ensure that DPE 
Limited’s shareholders are informed of 
all major developments affecting the 
Company’s state of affairs. Information is 
communicated to shareholders through:

• The full Annual Report. All shareholders 
have to elect to receive a copy of the full 
Annual Report, unless they have elected 
not to receive one, and a copy is available, 
on request. Current corporations legislation 
allows for the default option of receiving 
annual reports via the internet. Shareholders 
must be given notification of this change 
and be given the opportunity to elect to 
receive a hard copy of the Annual Report.

2013 ANNUAL REPORT  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDBoard Agendas and Minutes
Agendas for Board meetings include all matters 
operational, financial, strategic and compliance 
which are important to DPE Limited. Whilst 
most agenda items have a degree of detail 
and background information included in the 
pre-meeting papers, a few items may be listed

Shareholders attending the AGM are made aware 
they can ask questions of the auditor concerning 
the conduct of the audit.

RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY
The Board adopts an active approach to 
risk management which recognises that the 
Company is engaged in activities, which 
necessarily demand that the Company take 
certain usual business, entrepreneurial and 
operational risks. Accordingly, and in the 
interests of the enhanced performance of the 
Company, the Board embraces a responsible 
approach to risk management, as a risk-aware 
Company, but not necessarily a risk-averse one.

Specifically in managing risk, the Company and 
the Board adhere to the following principles:

• When considering new strategies or 
projects, management analyse the 
major risks of those opportunities being 
secured or being lost and considers 
appropriate strategies for minimising 
those risks where they are identified.
• The Company will, when thought prudent 
by the CEO or the Board, take appropriate 
external advice to determine the best 
way to manage a particular risk.

• Financial risk will be managed by the whole 
of the Board working closely with the CEO 
and the CFO to ensure that the financial 
statements and other financial reporting are 
rigorously tested prior to submission to audit.

• To complement risk management by the 

Company, appropriate insurances are put in 
place and advice taken from the Company’s 
brokers or insurers where necessary to 
cover the usual extraordinary risks which 
arise in the circumstances of the Company.

• The Company’s approach to risk 

management, and the effectiveness 
of its implementation, is reported by 
exception to the Board at least annually.

Through the use of its internal review function, 
the management of the Company has reported 
to the Board that the risk management policies 
adopted by the Company are the best to 
manage the material business risks of each 
part of the Company’s business operations.

The Board has received assurance from 
the CEO and CFO that the declaration 
provided in accordance with section 295A 
of the Corporations Act is founded on a 
sound system of risk management and 
internal control and that the system is 
operating effectively in all material aspects 
in relation to the financial reporting risks.

BOARD AND BOARD COMMITTEE AND 
SENIOR EXECUTIVE PERFORMANCE 
EVALUATION
A formal review of Board and Committee 
performance is undertaken annually by the 
Chairman. All reviews include open discussions 
by the Board of the results of the evaluations. 

The performance of senior executives (except 
the Chief Executive Officer) is periodically 
evaluated and monitored by the Chief Executive 
Officer and measured against agreed key 
performance indicators. The performance of the 
Chief Executive Officer is periodically reviewed 
and monitored by the Chairman and measured 
against agreed key performance indicators.

Performance evaluations for the Board 
Committees and senior executives (including 
the Chief Executive Officer) have occurred 
in the reporting period in accordance 
with the procedures described above.

Role of the Company Secretary and 
the Board’s access to information
All directors have unrestricted access to the 
Company Secretary. The Company Secretary 
is responsible for advising the Board on all 
Corporate Governance matters, for co-ordinating 
the completion and despatch of the agenda and 
Board papers for each meeting, and ensuring 
the Board receives sufficient information and 
in a form and timeframe to enable the Board to 
discharge its duties effectively. Directors may 
meet independently with management at any 
time to discuss areas of interest or concern.

2013 ANNUAL REPORT  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDPrincipal activities
The Consolidated entity’s principal activities in the course of the financial year were the operation of retail food outlets and the operation of franchise 
services. During the financial year there were no significant changes in the nature of those activities.

Review of operations
The result for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 was as follows:

Profit before related income tax expense
Income tax expense
Profit after related income tax expense

The following are the key operational 
highlights for the year.

• SSS growth in Europe was +3.1%, 

rolling +6.3% in FY11/12.

• We successfully launched a new iPhone app 
and mobile website in France in March 2013.

• The rollout of the global POS system 

(Pulse) in The Netherlands is progressing, 
with all stores expected to be converted 
by the end of October 2013.

• With the implementation of Pulse, we 

expect to roll out the majority of the ANZ 
digital platforms to The Netherlands 
by December 2013, in the process 
delivering a strong lift in sales.

• Legal claims with Speed Rabbit Pizza France 
are ongoing. DPE maintains the view that 
these claims are tactical and unsubstantiated.

The points above have not been audited.

Changes in state of affairs
There were no significant changes in the 
state of affairs of the Consolidated entity 
that occurred during the financial year.

Subsequent events
On 13 August 2013, the Group announced 
that Aurora Australia Co., Ltd, a newly-formed 
and wholly-owned subsidiary of Domino’s 
Pizza Enterprises Limited, had entered into a 
share purchase agreement with Bain Capital 
Domino Hong Kong Limited (Bain) to purchase 
100% of the ordinary shares in K.K. DPJ 
Holdings 1 (Holdings). Holdings is the parent 
company of Domino’s Pizza Japan, Inc. (DPJ) 
which holds the master franchisee rights for 
Domino’s Pizza in Japan. Immediately following 
completion of the acquisition Bain will reinvest 
approximately ¥4 billion (A$45 million) to 
subscribe for 25% of the issued shares in 
Aurora Australia Co., Ltd. The net effect is that 
the Group will acquire a 75% equity interest 
in DPJ for ¥12.0 billion (A$135 million).

Australia and New Zealand:
• ANZ EBITDA is up 14.1% for the year. 
Excluding the significant items of the 
Domino’s Japan and Nick Knight acquisitions, 
underlying EBITDA is up 17.5%.
• Same Store Sales (SSS) were much 

stronger in H2 13 (2nd half of FY12/13) 
than the first half, finishing the year 
+1.4%, rolling +6.6% in FY11/12.
• The improvement in SSS was heavily 

influenced by the launch of the Chef’s Best 
range in March 2013. This new range offers 
customers a product with restaurant quality 
toppings, premium taste and priced from 
as low as $8. Almost 1 in 5 orders contains 
at least one Chef’s Best pizza to date.

• We have added 27 new stores 

to the network this year.

• We have successfully rolled out our new online 
ordering platforms using HTML5 technology, 
greatly enhancing the customer experience 
and our ability to interact with customers.

• We expect the move to HTML5 along 

with a more aggressive online marketing 
campaign to deliver substantial growth 
to our network sales in FY13/14.

Europe
• DMP Europe EBITDA was down 0.7% on 

FY11/12. Excluding the significant items of 
additional legal costs relating to ongoing 
litigation (Speed Rabbit Pizza France) 
and European management restructuring 
costs, underlying EBITDA is up 7.3%. In 
an attempt to grow the European business 
at an accelerated rate, we have opened a 
significant number of new corporate stores 
in the past two years. Whilst we have 
achieved good top line sales, fast growth 
has resulted in weaker food and labour 
management, thus impacting profit margins.

• Record organic store growth of 40 new 
stores (18 France, 20 The Netherlands 
and 2 Belgium) has enabled total 
network sales to grow by 12.8%.

The acquisition will be funded by a combination 
of debt and equity. The debt funding will be 
provided under a new bilateral facility agreement 
with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and 
an amendment to the Group’s existing facility 
agreement with Westpac Banking Corporation. 
The new debt facilities will enable DPE to 
on-lend approximately ¥9.0 billion (A$101 
million) of debt to DPJ. The facilities will be 
denominated in Japanese yen and Australian 
dollars, have a five-year term and have foreign 
currency and interest rate exposures that will 
be managed pursuant to hedging arrangements. 
On 13 August 2013, the Group also announced a 
proposed 5 for 23 fully underwritten accelerated 
pro-rata renounceable rights issue to raise 
up to A$156 million to fund the acquisition. 
The parties have entered into a Shareholders’ 
Agreement which regulates the operation 
and funding of Aurora Australia Co., Ltd.

Completion is conditional on: (a) the debt 
providers not defaulting on their obligations to 
provide loans under the facility agreements, 
and; (b) on the underwriting agreement 
not being: (i) unlawfully terminated by the 
underwriter on or before 28 August 2013, or; (ii) 
otherwise terminated due to customary market 
fall, hostility and market failure underwriting 
termination events. Completion is also subject to 
other customary conditions precedent including 
compliance with the terms of the acquisition 
agreement, no intervening illegality, no breach 
of representations and warranties and no 
material adverse change relating to DPJ.

The acquisition is expected to complete  
in September 2013.

Indemnification of officers and auditors
The Company has entered into deeds of indemnity, insurance and access with each director. To the extent permitted by law and subject to the restrictions 
in s.199A of the Corporations Act 2001, the Company must continuously indemnify each director against liability (including liability for costs and expenses) 
for an act or omission in the capacity of director. However, this does not apply in respect of any of the following:

• a liability to the Company or a related body corporate;
• a liability to some other person that arises from conduct involving a lack of good faith;
• a liability for costs and expenses incurred by the director in defending civil or criminal proceedings in which judgment is given against the officer or in 

which the officer is not acquitted; or

• a liability for costs and expenses incurred by the director in connection with an unsuccessful application for relief under the Corporations Act 2001 in 

connection with the proceedings referred to above.

The Company has also agreed to provide the directors with access to Board documents circulated during the directors’ term in office.

During the financial year, the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the directors of the Company, the Company Secretary and all senior 
management of the Company and of any related body corporate against a liability incurred as such a director, secretary or senior management to the extent 
permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.

The Company has not otherwise, during or since the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of the Company or of any 
related body corporate against a liability incurred as such an officer or auditor. 

The directors have not included details of the nature of the liabilities covered or the amount of the premium paid in respect of the directors’ and officers’ 
liability and legal expenses insurance contract as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract.

Non-audit services
Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor are outlined in note 41 to the financial statements.

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services, during the year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf)  
is compatible with the general standard of independence of auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 41 to the financial statements do not compromise the external auditor’s 
independence, based on the advice received from the Audit Committee, for the following reasons:

• all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor, and
• none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in Code of Conduct APES 110 Code of Ethics  
for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s  
own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing  
economic risks and rewards.

Auditor’s independence declaration
The auditor’s independence declaration is included on page 24 of the Annual Report.

Rounding off of amounts
The Company is a Company of the kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/0100, dated 10 July 1998, and in accordance with that Class Order amounts in 
the Directors’ Report and the Financial Report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

REMUNERATION POLICY
The Board has a Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee. The Committee assists the Board  
by reviewing and approving remuneration 
policies and practices.

The Remuneration Committee, as delegated  
by the Board:

• reviews and approves the executive 

remuneration policy;

• reviews and makes recommendations to 

the Board on corporate goals and objectives 
relevant to the CEO, and the performance of 
the CEO in light of those objectives;

• makes recommendations to the Board on the 
remuneration of non-executive directors; and
• reviews and makes recommendations to the 

Board on equity-based plans.

An independent remuneration consultant is 
engaged by the Remuneration Committee to 
ensure that the reward practices and levels  
for senior management are consistent with 
market practice.

The Board, in conjunction with its Nomination 
and Remuneration Committee, is responsible 
for approving the performance objectives and 
measures for the CEO and providing input into 
the evaluation of performance against them.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee 
is responsible for making recommendations 
to the Board on compensation policies and 
packages applicable to the Board members 
and the Chief Executive Officer. The Managing 
Director/Chief Executive Officer is responsible 
for making recommendations on compensation 
packages applicable to the other key 
management personnel of the Company. 

Egan & Associates, an independent 
remuneration consultant is engaged by the 
Remuneration Committee to ensure that 
the reward practices and levels for senior 
management are consistent with market 
practice. A statement of recommendation 
from the remuneration consultant has been 
received by the board for the 2013 financial 
year. Payment of $25,410 (2012: $62,003) 
has been made to the remuneration consultant 
for the services provided on the remuneration 
recommendation. Additional services provided 
in the current year were in relation to the 
issuing of options under the Domino’s Pizza 
Executive Share and Option Plan (“ESOP”). 
No other advice has been provided by the 
remuneration consultant for the financial year.

In order to ensure that the remuneration 
recommendation would be free from undue 
influence by members of the key management 
personnel to whom the recommendation 
relates to, the board has ensured that the 
remuneration consultant is not a related 
party to any member of the key management 
personnel. As such, the board is satisfied that 
the remuneration recommendation was made 
free from undue influence by the member or 
members of the key management personnel 
to whom the recommendation relates.

The performance of the Company depends upon 
the quality of its directors, and its secretaries 
and other key management personnel. To 
prosper, the Company must attract, motivate 
and retain highly skilled directors and other key 
management personnel. The compensation 
structure is designed to strike an appropriate 
balance between fixed and variable remuneration, 
rewarding capability and experience and 
providing recognition for contribution to the 
Company’s overall goals and objectives.

The Board Remuneration Policy is to ensure 
the compensation package properly reflects 
the person’s duties and responsibilities and 
level of performance; and that compensation 
is competitive in attracting, retaining and 
motivating people of the highest quality. 
Directors and other key management personnel 
may receive bonuses on the achievement of 
specific goals related to the performance of 
the Company (including operational results).

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE 
REMUNERATION POLICY AND  
COMPANY PERFORMANCE
The compensation structures explained below 
are designed to attract suitably qualified 
candidates, reward the achievement of strategic 
objectives, and achieve the broader outcome 
of creation of value for shareholders. The 
compensation structures take into account:

• the capability and experience of the 

key management personnel;

• the key management personnel’s ability to 

control the relevant segments’ performance;
•  the Consolidated entity’s performance including:
  -  the Consolidated entity’s earnings;

  -  the growth in earnings per share and return 

on shareholder wealth, and

• the amount of incentives within each key 
management personnel’s compensation.

Compensation packages include a mix of fixed 
and variable compensation and short-term and 
long-term performance-based incentives. The 
mix of these components is based on the role 
the individual performs. 

In addition to their salaries, the Consolidated 
entity also provides non-cash benefits to its key 
management personnel, and contributes to a post-
employment superannuation plan on their behalf.

2013 ANNUAL REPORT  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDFixed compensation
Fixed compensation consists of base 
compensation (which is calculated on a total 
cost basis and includes any fringe benefits tax 
(“FBT”) charges related to employee benefits 
including motor vehicles), as well as employer 
contributions to superannuation funds.

Compensation levels are reviewed annually 
by the Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee and Managing Director/Chief 
Executive Officer through a process that 
considers individual, segment and overall 
performance of the Consolidated entity. 
In addition, external consultants provide 
analysis and advice to ensure the directors 
and executives’ compensation is competitive 
in the marketplace. An executive’s 
compensation is also reviewed on promotion.

Performance-linked compensation
Performance-linked compensation includes 
both short-term and long-term incentives 
and is designed to reward key management 
personnel for meeting or exceeding their 
financial and personal objectives. The 
short-term incentive (“STI”) is an ‘at risk’ 
bonus provided in the form of cash, while 
the long-term incentive (“LTI”) is provided 
as options over ordinary shares of the 
Company under the rules of the ESOP. 

Short-term incentive bonus
Each year the Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee sets the key performance indicators 
(“KPI’s”) for the Managing Director/Chief 
Executive Officer and the Managing Director/
Chief Executive Officer sets the KPI’s for 
the other key management personnel. The 
KPI’s generally include measures relating 
to the Consolidated entity, the relevant 
segment, and the individual, and include 
financial, people, customer, strategy and 
risk measures. The measures are chosen as 
they directly align the individual’s reward to 
the KPI’s of the Consolidated entity and to 
its strategy and performance. The Company 
undertakes a rigorous and detailed annual 
forecasting and budget process. The Board 
believes achievement of the annual forecast 
and budget is therefore the most relevant 
short-term performance condition.

The financial performance objectives include 
but are not limited to “Earnings before Interest, 
Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation” (“EBITDA”), 
“Net Profit”, “Corporate store EBITDA”, 
“Franchise operations EBITDA” and Net Profit 
After Tax (“NPAT”), compared to budget and 
last year. The non-financial objectives vary 
with position and responsibility and include 
measures such as achieving strategic outcomes, 
percentage savings, customer satisfaction, 
hygiene and training and staff development.

At the end of the financial year the Nomination 
and Remuneration Committee and Managing 
Director/Chief Executive Officer assess the 
actual performance of the Consolidated 
entity, the relevant segment and individual 
against the KPI’s set at the beginning of the 
financial year. No bonus is awarded where 
performance objectives are not achieved.

The Managing Director/Chief Executive 
Officer recommends to the Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee the performance 
bonus amounts of individuals for approval by the 
Board. The method of assessment was chosen 
as it provides the Committee with an objective 
assessment of the individual’s performance.

Long-term incentive
Options are issued under the ESOP (made 
in accordance with thresholds set in plans 
approved by the Board on 11 April 2005), and 
it provides for key management personnel to 
receive a number of options, as determined by 
the Board, over ordinary shares. Options issued 
under the ESOP will be subject to performance 
conditions that are detailed on page 22.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee 
considers this equity performance-linked 
compensation structure to be appropriate 
as key management personnel only receive 
a benefit where there is a corresponding 
direct benefit to shareholders.

The tables below set out summary information about the Consolidated entity’s earnings and movements in shareholder wealth for the five years to 30 June 2013:

 Amounts included in compensation for the financial year represent the amount that vested in the financial year based on achievement of personal goals and satisfaction of specified performance 
criteria. No amounts vest in future financial years in respect of the bonus schemes for the current financial year.
The amounts forfeited are due to the performance or service criteria not being met in relation to the current financial year.

Long term bonuses
There were no long term cash bonuses granted for the financial year ended 30 June 2013. 

Executive share and option plan
The Company established the ESOP to assist in the recruitment, reward, retention and motivation of directors and executives of the Company (“the participants”).

In accordance with the provisions of the scheme, executives within the Company, to be determined by the Board, are granted options for no consideration 
to purchase parcels of shares at various exercise prices. Each option confers an entitlement to subscribe for and be issued one share, credited as fully paid, 
at the exercise price.

Options issued under the ESOP may not be transferred unless the Board determines otherwise. The Company has no obligation to apply for quotation 
of the options on the ASX. However, the Company must apply to the ASX for official quotation of shares issued on the exercise of the options.

At any one time, the total number of options on issue under the ESOP that have neither been exercised nor lapsed will not exceed 5.0% of the total number 
of shares in the capital of the Company on issue prior to 30 April 2009. 

Effective 30 April 2009, the Company must not issue any shares or grant any option under this plan if, immediately after the issue or grant, the sum of the 
total number of unissued shares over which options, rights or other options (which remain outstanding) have been granted under this plan and any other Group 
employee incentive scheme would exceed 7.5% of the total number of shares on issue on a Fully Diluted Basis at the time of the proposed issue or grant.

Fully Diluted Basis means the number of shares which would be on issue if all those securities of the Company which are capable of being converted into 
shares, were converted into shares. If the number of shares into which the securities are capable of being converted cannot be calculated at the relevant 
time, those shares will be disregarded.

2013 ANNUAL REPORT  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDA change in control occurs when any 
shareholder (either alone or together with 
its associates) having a relevant interest 
in less than 50% of the issued shares in 
the Company acquires a relevant interest 
in 50% or more of the shares on issue at 
any time in the capital of the Company or 
the composition of a majority of the Board 
changes for a reason other than retirement 
in the normal course of business or death.

Non-executive directors 
The Constitution of the Company provides that 
non-executive directors are entitled to receive 
compensation for their services as determined 
by the Company in a general meeting. The 
Company has resolved that the maximum 
aggregate amount of directors’ fees (which 
does not include compensation of executive 
directors and other non-director services 
provided by directors) is $600,000 per annum. 
The non-executive directors may divide that 
compensation among themselves as they 
decide. Non–executive directors are entitled to 
be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses 
incurred in connection with the affairs of the 
Company. A non-executive director may also be 
compensated as determined by the directors 
if that director performs additional or special 
duties for the Company. A former director 
may also receive a retirement benefit of an 
amount determined by the Board of Directors in 
recognition of past services, subject to the ASX 
Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001.

Non-executive directors do not receive 
performance-based compensation. Directors’ 
fees cover all main Board activities.

Fees for the current financial year for the 
non-executive directors were $80,000 
per director per annum (2012: $80,000), 
$92,000 per annum for the Chairman of 
the Audit Committee (2012: $92,000) 
and for the Chairman of the Board was 
$160,000 per annum (2012: 160,000).

Signed in accordance with a resolution of 
the directors made pursuant to s.298(2) 
of the Corporations Act 2001.

On behalf of the Directors

Ross Adler  
Chairman 
Sydney, 13 August 2013

Don Meij 
Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer 
Sydney, 13 August 2013

The directors believe that the compensation 
for each of the key management personnel is 
appropriate for the duties allocated to them, 
the size of the Company’s business and the 
industry in which the Company operates. The 
service contracts outline the components of 
compensation paid to the executive directors 
and key management personnel but do not 
prescribe how compensation levels are 
modified year to year. Compensation levels 
are reviewed each year to take into account 
cost-of-living changes, any change in the scope 
of the role performed by the key management 
personnel and any changes required to meet 
the principles of the Remuneration Policy.

Each of the key management personnel has 
agreed that during their employment and for  
a period of up to six months afterwards, they  
will not compete with the Company, canvass,  
solicit, induce or encourage any person who 
is or was an employee of the Company at any 
time during the employment period to leave 
the Company or interfere in any way with the 
relationship between the Company and its 
clients, customers, employees, consultants  
or suppliers. 

Don Meij, Managing Director/Chief Executive 
Officer, has a contract of employment with 
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited dated 2 
November 2011. The contract specifies the 
duties and obligations to be fulfilled by the 
Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer 
and provides that the Board and Managing 
Director/Chief Executive Officer will, early 
in each financial year, consult and agree 
objectives for achievement during that year. 

Don Meij’s contract provides that he may 
terminate the agreement by giving twelve 
month’s written notice. He may also resign 
on one month’s notice if there is a change 
in control of the Company, and he forms the 
reasonable opinion that there has been material 
changes to the policies, strategies or future 
plans of the Board and, as a result, he will 
not be able to implement his strategy or plans 
for the development of the Company or its 
projects. If Don Meij, resigns for this reason, 
then in recognition of his past service to the 
Company, on the date of termination, in addition 
to any payment made to him during the notice 
period or by the Company in lieu of notice, 
the Company must pay him an amount equal 
to the salary component and superannuation 
that would have been paid to him in the 12 
months after the date of termination.

REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL REPORT 
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 
June 2013, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of cash flows and the statement of changes in equity for the year ended on that date, 
notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity, 
comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year as set out on pages 27 to 87.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 3, the directors also state, in 
accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the consolidated financial statements comply with International 
Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing 
Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected 
depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. 
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control, relevant to the company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true 
and fair view, in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the 
effectiveness of the company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness 
of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

2.  ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
2.1  Standards and Interpretations affecting amounts reported in the current period (and/or prior periods)
The following new and revised Standards and Interpretations have been adopted in the current period and the effects if any, have been adjusted  
in these financial statements. 

Standards affecting presentation and disclosure

Amendments to AASB 101 
‘Presentation of Financial Statements’

Amendments to AASB 101  
‘Presentation of Financial Statements’

The amendment (part of AASB 2011-9 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Presentation 
of Items of Other Comprehensive Income’ introduce new terminology for the statement of comprehensive 
income and income statement. Under the amendments to AASB 101, the statement of comprehensive 
income is renamed as a statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the income 
statement is renamed as a statement of profit or loss. The amendments to AASB 101 retain the 
option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in 
two separate but consecutive statements. However, the amendments to AASB 101 require items of 
other comprehensive income to be grouped into two categories in the other comprehensive income 
section: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and (b) items that may 
be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items 
of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis – the amendments 
do not change the option to present items of other comprehensive income either before tax or net 
of tax. The amendments have been applied retrospectively, and hence the presentation of items 
of other comprehensive income has been modified to reflect the changes. Other than the above 
mentioned presentation changes, the application of the amendments to AASB 101 does not result 
in any impact on profit or loss, other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income.

The amendments (part of AASB 2012-5 ‘Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards 
arising from Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle’) requires an entity that changes accounting 
policies retrospectively, or makes a retrospective restatement or reclassification to present 
a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period (third statement 
of financial position), when the retrospective application, restatement or reclassification has 
a material effect on the information in the third statement of financial position. The related 
notes to the third statement of financial position are not required to be disclosed.

Standards and Interpretations affecting the reported results or financial position
There are no new and revised Standards and Interpretations adopted in these financial statements affecting the reporting results or financial position.

2013 ANNUAL REPORT  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED

If the initial accounting for a business 
combination is incomplete by the end of the 
reporting period in which the combination 
occurs, the Consolidated entity reports 
provisional amounts for the items for 
which the accounting is incomplete. Those 
provisional amounts are adjusted during the 
measurement period (see below), or additional 
assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect 
new information obtained about facts and 
circumstances that existed as of the acquisition 
date that, if known, would have affected 
the amounts recognised as of that date.

The measurement period is the period 
from the date of acquisition to the date 
the Consolidated entity obtains complete 
information about facts and circumstances 
that existed as of the acquisition date – and 
is subject to a maximum of one year.

3.5  Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the 
Consolidated entity has significant influence and 
that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a 
joint venture. Significant influence is the power 
to participate in the financial and operating 
policy decisions of the investee but has no 
control or joint control over those policies.

The results and assets and liabilities of 
associates are incorporated in these financial 
statements using the equity method of 
accounting, except when the investment is 
classified as held for sale, in which case it 
is accounted for in accordance with AASB 
5 ‘Non-current Assets Held for Sale and 
Discontinued Operations’. Under the equity 
method, investments in associates are carried 
in the consolidated balance sheet at cost as 
adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the 
Consolidated entity’s share of the net assets 
of the associate, less any impairment in the 
value of individual investments. Losses of an 
associate in excess of the Consolidated entity’s 
interest in that associate (which includes 
any long-term interests that, in substance, 
form part of the Consolidated entity’s net 
investment in the associate) are recognised 
only to the extent that the Consolidated entity 
has incurred legal or constructive obligations 
or made payments on behalf of the associate.

3.4  Business combinations
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are 
accounted for using the acquisition method. The 
consideration for each acquisition is measured 
at the aggregate of the fair values (at the date 
of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurred 
or assumed, and equity instruments issued by 
the Consolidated entity in exchange for control 
of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are 
recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Where applicable, the consideration for the 
acquisition includes any asset or liability resulting 
from a contingent consideration arrangement, 
measured at its acquisition-date fair value. 
Subsequent changes in such fair values are 
adjusted against the cost of acquisition where 
they qualify as measurement period adjustments 
(see below). All other subsequent changes in 
such fair values are adjusted against the cost 
of acquisition where they qualify as contingent 
consideration classified as an asset or liability 
are accounted for in accordance with relevant 
Standards. Changes in the fair value of 
contingent consideration classified as  
equity ware not recognised.

Where a business combination is achieved in 
stages, the Consolidated entity previously held 
interests in the acquired entity are remeasured 
to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date 
the Consolidated entity attains control) and the 
resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in 
profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests 
in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date 
that have previously been recognised in other 
comprehensive income are reclassified to 
profit or loss, where such treatment would be 
appropriate if that interest were disposed of.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets 
acquired and the liabilities assumed are 
recognised at their fair value, except that:

• deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities 

or assets related to employee benefit 
arrangements are recognised and measured 
in accordance with AASB 112 Income Taxes 
and AASB 119 Employee Benefits respectively;

• liabilities or equity instruments related to 

the replacement by the Consolidated entity 
of an acquiree’s share-based payment 
awards are measured in accordance with 
AASB 2 Share-based Payment; and

• assets (or disposal groups) that are classified 
as held for sale in accordance with AASB 
5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and 
Discontinued Operations are measured 
in accordance with that Standard.

3. 

 SIGNIFICANT  
ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.1  Statement of compliance
These financial statements are general purpose 
financial statements which have been prepared 
in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and 
comply with other requirements of the law.

The financial statements comprise the 
consolidated financial statements of the 
Consolidated entity for the 52-week period 
ended 30 June 2013. For the purposes of 
preparing the consolidated financial statements, 
the Company is a for-profit entity.

Accounting Standards include Australian 
Accounting Standards. Compliance with 
Australian Accounting Standards ensures 
that the financial statements and notes 
of the Company and the Consolidated 
entity comply with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).

The financial statements were authorised for 
issue by the directors on 13 August 2013.

3.2  Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared on the basis of historical cost, 
except for the revaluation of certain financial 
instruments. Historical cost is based on the fair 
values of the consideration given in exchange 
for assets. All amounts are presented in 
Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The Company is a company of the kind 
referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/0100, 
dated 10 July 1998, and in accordance with 
that Class Order amounts in the financial 
report are rounded off to the nearest thousand 
dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

The following significant accounting policies 
have been adopted in the preparation and 
presentation of the financial report:

3.3  Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate 
the financial statements of the Company 
and entities controlled by the Company (its 
subsidiaries) (referred to as ‘the Consolidated 
entity’ in these financial statements). Control is 
achieved where the Company has the power to 
govern the financial and operating policies of an 
entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed 
of during the year are included in the consolidated 
statement of comprehensive income from 
the effective date of acquisition or up to the 
effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the 
financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their 
accounting policies into line with those used 
by other members of the Consolidated entity.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and 
expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. 

36

2013 ANNUAL REPORT  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED• exchange differences on monetary items 
receivable from or payable to a foreign 
operation for which settlement is neither 
planned or likely to occur, (therefore forming 
part of the net investment in a foreign 
operation), which are recognised initially in 
other comprehensive income and reclassified 
from equity to profit and loss on disposal 
or partial disposal of the net investment.

For the purpose of presenting the consolidated 
financial statements, the assets and liabilities 
of the Consolidated entity’s foreign operations 
are expressed in Australian dollars using 
exchange rates prevailing at the end of the 
reporting period. Income and expense items 
are translated at the average exchange rates 
for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated 
significantly during the period, in which case the 
exchange rates at the date of the transactions 
are used. Exchange differences arising, if 
any, are recognised in other comprehensive 
income and accumulated in equity (attributed 
to non-controlling interests as appropriate).

On disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal 
of the Consolidated entity’s entire interest in 
a foreign operation, or a disposal involving 
loss of control over a subsidiary that includes 
a foreign operation, loss of joint control over a 
jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign 
operation, or loss of significant influence over 
an associate that includes a foreign operation), 
all of the accumulated exchange differences 
in respect of that operation attributable to the 
Consolidated entity are reclassified to profit 
or loss. Any exchange differences that have 
previously been attributed to non-controlling 
interests are derecognised, but they are not 
reclassified to profit or loss.

In the case of a partial disposal (i.e. no loss 
of control) of a subsidiary that includes a 
foreign operation, the proportionate share of 
accumulated exchange differences are re-
attributed to non-controlling interests and are 
not recognised in profit or loss. For all other 
partial disposals (i.e. of associates or jointly 
controlled entities not involving a change of 
accounting basis), the proportionate share 
of the accumulated exchange differences is 
reclassified to profit or loss.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on 
the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated 
as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation 
and translated at the closing rate.

3.7  Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are 
recognised net of the amount of goods 
and services tax (“GST”), except:
(i)  

 where the amount of GST incurred 
is not recoverable from the taxation 
authority, it is recognised as part of 
the cost of acquisition of an asset or 
as part of an item of expense; or
(ii)   for receivables and payables which 
are recognised inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or 
payable to, the taxation authority is included 
as part of receivables or payables.

Cash flows are included in the cash flow 
statement on a gross basis. The GST  
component of cash flows arising from  
investing and financing activities which  
is recoverable from, or payable to, the  
taxation authority is classified within  
operating cash flows.

3.8  Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of 
the consideration received or receivable. 

3.8.1 Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised 
when the Consolidated entity has transferred to 
the buyer the significant risks and rewards of 
ownership of the goods.

3.8.2 Franchise income
Franchise income is recognised on an 
accrual basis in accordance with the 
substance of the relevant agreement.

3.8.3 Rendering of services
Service revenue relates primarily to store 
building services and is recognised by reference 
to the stage of completion of the contract.

3.8.4 Royalties
Royalty revenue is recognised on an accrual 
basis in accordance with the substance of the 
relevant agreement (provided that it is probable 
that the economic benefits will flow to the 
Consolidated entity and the amount of revenue 
can be measured reliably). Royalties determined 
on a time basis are recognised on a straight-
line basis over the period of the agreement. 
Royalty arrangements that are based on 
sales and other measures are recognised by 
reference to the underlying arrangement.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over 
the Consolidated entity’s share of the net 
fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities 
and contingent liabilities of the associate 
recognised at the date of the acquisition 
is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill is 
included within the carrying amount of the 
investment and is assessed for impairment 
as part of that investment. Any excess of 
the Consolidated entity’s share of the net 
fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities 
and contingent liabilities over the cost of 
the acquisition, after reassessment, is 
recognised immediately in profit or loss. 

Where a group entity transacts with an associate 
of the Consolidated entity, profits and losses 
are eliminated to the extent of the Consolidated 
entity’s interest in the relevant associate.

3.6  Foreign currencies
The individual financial statements of each 
group entity are presented in its functional 
currency being the currency of the primary 
economic environment in which the entity 
operates (its functional currency). For 
the purpose of the consolidated financial 
statements, the results and financial position 
of each entity are expressed in Australian 
dollars (‘$’), which is the functional 
currency of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises 
Limited and the presentation currency for 
the consolidated financial statements.

In preparing the financial statements of the 
individual entities, transactions in currencies 
other than the entity’s functional currency 
(foreign currencies) are recognised at the 
rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of 
the transactions. At the end of each reporting 
period, monetary items denominated in 
foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates 
prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items 
carried at fair value that are denominated 
in foreign currencies are retranslated at the 
rates prevailing on the date when the fair 
value was determined. Non-monetary items 
that are measured in terms of historical cost 
in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences are recognised in profit or 
loss in the period in which they arise except for:

• exchange differences on foreign currency 

borrowings relating to assets under 
construction for future productive use, which 
are included in the cost of those assets when 
they are regarded as an adjustment to interest 
costs on those foreign currency borrowings;

• exchange differences on transactions 
entered into in order to hedge certain 
foreign currency risks (see 3.24 below 
for hedge accounting policies); and

3.10 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of 
the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

3.10.1 Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable 
profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from 
profit as reported in the consolidated statement 
of comprehensive income because of items of 
income or expense that are taxable or deductible 
in other years and items that are never taxable 
or deductible. The Consolidated entity’s 
liability for current tax is calculated using tax 
rates that have been enacted or substantively 
enacted by the end of this reporting period.

3.10.2 Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary 
differences between the carrying amounts of 
assets and liabilities in the financial statements 
and the corresponding tax bases used in the 
computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax 
liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable 
temporary differences. Deferred tax assets 
are generally for all deductible temporary 
differences to the extent that it is probable 
that taxable profits will be available against 
which those deductible temporary differences 
can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and 
liabilities are not recognised if the temporary 
difference arises from goodwill or from the 
initial recognition of goodwill (other than in 
a business combination) or other assets and 
liabilities in a transaction that affects neither 
the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. 

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for 
taxable temporary differences associated with 
investments in subsidiaries and associates 
and interests in joint ventures except where 
the Consolidated entity is able to control the 
reversal of the temporary differences and it is 
probable that the temporary differences will 
not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred 
tax assets arising from deductible temporary 
differences associated with these investments 
and interests are only recognised to the extent 
that it is probable that there will be sufficient 
taxable profits against which to utilise the 
benefits of the temporary differences they are 
expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets 
is reviewed at the end of each reporting 
period and reduced to the extent that 
it is no longer probable that sufficient 
taxable profits will be available to allow 
all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured 
at the tax rates that are expected to apply in 
the period in which the liability is settled or the 
asset is realised, based on tax rates (and tax 
laws) that have been enacted or substantively 
enacted by the end of the reporting period. 
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities 
and assets reflects the tax consequences 
that would follow from the manner in which 
the Consolidated entity expects, at the end of 
the reporting period, to recover or settle the 
carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset 
when there is a legally enforceable right to 
set off current tax assets against current tax 
liabilities and when they related to income taxes 
levied by the same taxation authority and the 
Consolidated entity intends to settle its current 
tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

3.10.3 Current and deferred tax for the period
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an 
expense or income in the profit or loss, except 
when they relate to items that are recognised 
outside the profit or loss (whether in other 
comprehensive income or directly in equity), 
in which case the tax is also recognised 
outside the profit or loss, or where they arise 
from the initial accounting for a business 
combination. In the case of a business 
combination, the tax effect is included in the 
accounting for the business combination.

3.10.4 Tax consolidation
The Company and all its wholly-owned 
Australian resident entities are part of a tax 
consolidated group under Australian taxation 
law. Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited 
is the head entity in the tax-consolidated 
group. Tax expense/income, deferred tax 
liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from 
temporary differences of the members of the 
tax-consolidated group are recognised in the 
separate financial statements of the members of 
the tax-consolidated group using the ‘separate 
taxpayer within group approach’ by reference to 
the carrying amounts in the separate financial 
statements of each entity and the tax values 
applying under tax consolidation. Current tax 
liabilities and assets and deferred tax assets 
arising from unused tax losses and relevant tax 
credits of the members of the tax-consolidated 
group are recognised by the Company (as 
head entity in the tax-consolidated group).

The entities in the tax-consolidated group have 
not entered into a tax sharing agreement or 
tax funding agreement. Income tax liabilities 
payable to the tax authorities in respect of the 
tax-consolidated group are recognised in the 
financial statements of the parent entity.

3.8.5 Dividend and interest revenue
Dividend revenue from investments is 
recognised when the shareholder’s right to 
receive payment has been established (provided 
that it is probable that the economic benefits 
will flow to the Consolidated entity and the 
amount of revenue can be reliably measured).

Interest revenue is recognised when it is 
probable that the economic benefits will flow 
to the Consolidated entity and the amount of 
revenue can be measured reliably. Interest 
revenue is accrued on a time basis, with 
reference to the principal outstanding and at 
the effective interest rate applicable, which 
is the rate that exactly discounts estimated 
future cash receipts through the expected 
life of the financial asset to that asset’s net 
carrying amount on initial recognition.

3.9  Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based payments to 
employees and others providing similar 
services are measured at the fair value of 
the equity instrument at the grant date. The 
fair value is measured by use of a binomial 
model. The expected life used in the model 
has been adjusted, based on management’s 
best estimate, for the effects of non-
transferability, exercise restrictions, and 
behavioural considerations. Details regarding the 
determination of the fair value of equity-settled 
share-based transactions are set out in note 33. 

The fair value determined at the grant date 
of the equity-settled share-based payments 
is expensed on a straight-line basis over the 
vesting period, based on the Consolidated 
entity’s estimate of equity instruments that 
will eventually vest. At each reporting period, 
the Consolidated entity revises its estimate of 
the number of equity instruments expected 
to vest. The impact of the revision of the 
original estimates, if any, is recognised in 
profit or loss over the remaining vesting 
period, with corresponding adjustment to the 
equity-settled employee benefits reserve.

The policy described above is applied to 
all equity-settled share-based payments 
that were granted after 7 November 
2002 that vested after 1 January 2005. 
No amount has been recognised in the 
financial statements in respect of the other 
equity-settled share-based payments.

Equity-settled share-based payment 
transactions with other parties are measured at 
the fair value of the goods and services received, 
except where the fair value cannot be estimated 
reliably, in which case they are measured at 
the fair value of the equity instruments granted, 
measured at the date the entity obtains the 
goods or the counterparty renders the service. 

38

2013 ANNUAL REPORT  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED3.12.4 Available-for-sale financial assets
Financial assets held by the Consolidated 
entity are classified as being AFS and are 
stated at fair value. Fair value is determined 
in the manner described in note 32. Gains and 
losses arising from changes in fair value are 
recognised directly in other comprehensive 
income and accumulated in the investments 
revaluation reserve, with the exception of 
impairment losses, interest calculated using the 
effective interest method, and foreign exchange 
gains and losses on monetary assets, which 
are recognised in profit or loss. Where the 
investment is disposed of or is determined to be 
impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously 
accumulated in the investments revaluation 
reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividends on AFS equity instruments are 
recognised in profit and loss when the 
Consolidated entity’s right to receive the 
dividends is established.

The fair value of AFS monetary assets 
denominated in a foreign currency is determined 
in that foreign currency and translated at the 
spot rate at the end of the reporting period. 
The foreign exchange gains and losses that 
are recognised in profit or loss are determined 
based on the amortised cost of the monetary 
asset. Other foreign exchange gains and losses 
are recognised in other comprehensive income.

3.12.5 Loans and receivables
Trade receivables, loans and other receivables 
that have fixed or determinable payments 
that are not quoted in an active market are 
classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans 
and receivables are measured at amortised 
cost using the effective interest method less 
impairment. Interest income is recognised 
by applying the effective interest rate, 
except for short-term receivables when the 
recognition of interest would be immaterial.

3.11  Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand 
deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, 
highly liquid investments that are readily 
convertible to known amounts of cash, 
which are subject to an insignificant risk of 
changes in value and have a maturity of three 
months or less at the date of acquisition.

Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings 
in current liabilities in the consolidated 
statement of financial position.

3.12  Financial assets
All financial assets are recognised and 
derecognised on trade date where the purchase 
or sale of a financial asset is under a contract 
whose terms require delivery of the financial 
asset within the timeframe established 
by the market concerned, and are initially 
measured at fair value, plus transaction costs, 
except for those financial assets classified 
as at fair value through profit or loss, which 
are initially measured at fair value.

Financial assets are classified into the following 
specified categories: financial assets ‘at fair 
value through profit or loss’ (FVTPL), ‘held-to-
maturity investments’, ‘available-for-sale’ (AFS) 
‘financial assets’, and ‘loans and receivables’. 
The classification depends on the nature 
and purpose of the financial assets and is 
determined at the time of initial recognition.

3.12.1 Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method 
of calculating the amortised cost of a debt 
instrument and of allocating interest income 
over the relevant period. The effective interest 
rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated 
future cash receipts (including all fees on points 
paid or received that form an integral part of 
the effective interest rate, transaction costs 
and other premiums or discounts) through 
the expected life of the debt instrument, or 
(where appropriate) a shorter period, to the 
net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Income is recognised on an effective interest 
rate basis for debt instruments other than 
those financial assets as at FVTPL.

3.12.2 Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL 
when the financial asset is either held for 
trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.

A financial asset is classified 
as held for trading if:

• It has been acquired principally for the 
purpose of selling it in the near term; or

• on initial recognition it is a part of an 

identified portfolio of financial instruments 
that the Consolidated entity manages 
together and has a recent actual pattern 
of short-term profit-taking; or

• it is a derivative that is not designated 
and effective as a hedging instrument.

A financial asset other than a financial 
asset held for trading may be designated 
as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

• such designation eliminates or significantly 
reduces a measurement or recognition 
inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or
• the financial asset forms part of a group of 

financial assets or financial liabilities or both, 
which is managed and its performance is 
evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance 
with the Consolidated entity’s documented 
risk management or investment strategy, 
and information about the grouping is 
provided internally on that basis; or
• it forms part of a contract containing 
one or more embedded derivatives, 
and AASB 139 Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement permits 
the entire combined contract (asset or 
liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair 
value, with any gains or losses arising on 
re-measurement recognised in profit or loss. 
The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss 
incorporates any dividend or interest earned on 
the financial asset and is included in the ‘other 
gains and losses’ line item in the statement 
of comprehensive income. Fair value is 
determined in the manner described in note 32.

3.12.3 Held-to-maturity investments
Bills of exchange and debentures with fixed 
or determinable payments and fixed maturity 
dates where the Consolidated entity has the 
positive intent and ability to hold to maturity 
are classified as held-to-maturity investments. 
Held-to-maturity investments are recorded 
at amortised cost using the effective interest 
method less impairment, with revenue 
recognised on an effective yield basis.

39

2013 ANNUAL REPORT  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED

3.12.7 Derecognition of financial assets
The Consolidated entity derecognises a financial 
asset only when the contractual rights to the 
cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers 
the financial asset and substantially all the 
risks and rewards of ownership of the asset 
to another entity. If the Consolidated entity 
neither transfers nor retains substantially 
all the risks and rewards of ownership and 
continues to control the transferred asset, the 
Consolidated entity recognises its retained 
interest in the asset and an associated 
liability for amounts it may have to pay. If 
the Consolidated entity retains substantially 
all the risks and rewards of ownership of a 
transferred financial asset, the Consolidated 
entity continues to recognise the financial 
asset and also recognises a collateralised 
borrowing for the proceeds received.

3.13 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net 
realisable value. Costs, including an appropriate 
portion of fixed and variable overhead expenses, 
are assigned to inventories by the method most 
appropriate to each particular class of inventory, 
with the majority being valued on a first in first 
out basis. Net realisable value represents the 
estimated selling price for inventories less 
all estimated costs of completion and costs 
necessary to make the sale.

3.14 Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets and disposal groups are 
classified as held for sale if their carrying 
amount will be recovered principally through a 
sale transaction rather than through continuing 
use. This condition is regarded as met only when 
the sale is highly probable and the asset (or 
disposal group) is available for immediate sale 
in its present condition. Management must be 
committed to the sale, which should be expected 
to qualify for recognition as a completed sale 
within one year from the date of classification.

When the Consolidated entity is committed 
to a sale plan involving the loss of control of 
a subsidiary, all of the assets and liabilities 
of that subsidiary are classified as held for 
sale when the criteria described above are 
met, regardless of whether the Consolidated 
entity will retain a non-controlling interest 
in its former subsidiary after the sale.

Non-current assets (and disposal groups) 
classified as held for sale are measured 
at the lower of their previous carrying 
amount and fair value less costs to sell.

3.15 Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment, leasehold improvements 
and equipment under finance leases are 
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation 
and impairment. Cost includes expenditure 
that is directly attributable to the acquisition 
of an item. In the event that settlement of 
all or part of the purchase consideration is 
deferred, cost is determined by discounting 
the amounts payable in the future to their 
present value as at the date of acquisition.

Depreciation is provided on property, plant 
and equipment excluding land. Depreciation 
is calculated on a straight-line basis so as 
to write off the cost of each asset over its 
expected useful life to its estimated residual 
value. Leasehold improvements are depreciated 
over the period of the lease or estimated 
useful life, whichever is the shorter, using 
the straight-line method. The estimated 
useful lives, residual values and depreciation 
method are reviewed at the end of each 
annual reporting period, with the effect of any 
changes recognised on a prospective basis.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated 
over their expected useful lives on the same basis 
as owned assets or, where shorter, the term of 
the relevant lease.

The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement 
of an item of property, plant and equipment 
is determined as the difference between the 
sales proceeds and the carrying amount of 
the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

The following useful lives are used in 
the calculation of depreciation:

•  Plant and equipment 
1 – 10 years
•   Equipment under finance leases  3 – 10 years

3.16 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the 
acquisition, construction or production of 
qualifying assets, which are assets that 
necessarily take a substantial period of time 
to get ready for their intended use or sale, 
are added to the cost of those assets, until 
such time as the assets are substantially 
ready for their intended use or sale. 

Investment income earned on the temporary 
investment of specific borrowings pending  
their expenditure on qualifying assets is 
deducted from the borrowing costs  
eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit 
or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

3.12.6 Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, 
are assessed for indicators of impairment at 
the end of each reporting period. Financial 
assets are considered to be impaired 
where there is objective evidence that, as a 
result of one or more events that occurred 
after the initial recognition of the financial 
asset, the estimated future cash flows of 
the investment have been affected.

For certain categories of financial asset, such 
as trade receivables, assets that are assessed 
not to be impaired individually are, in addition, 
assessed for impairment on a collective basis. 
Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio 
of receivables could include the Consolidated 
entity’s past experience of collecting payments, 
an increase in the number of delayed payments 
in the portfolio past the average credit period 
of 30 days, as well as observable changes 
in national or local economic conditions that 
correlate with default on receivables.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, 
the amount of the impairment recognised 
is the difference between the asset’s 
carrying amount and the present value of 
estimated future cash flows, discounted 
at the original effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of financial assets is 
reduced by the impairment loss directly for all 
financial assets with the exception of trade 
receivables, where the carrying amount is 
reduced through the use of an allowance 
account. When a trade receivable is considered 
uncollectible, it is written off against the 
allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of 
amounts previously written off are credited 
against the allowance account. Changes 
in the carrying amount of the allowance 
account are recognised in profit or loss.

When an AFS financial asset is considered to be 
impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously 
recognised in other comprehensive income 
are reclassified to profit or loss in the period.

With the exception of AFS equity instruments, 
if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the 
impairment loss decreases and the decrease 
can be related objectively to an event occurring 
after the impairment was recognised, the 
previously recognised impairment loss is 
reversed through profit or loss to the extent the 
carrying amount of the investment at the date 
the impairment is reversed does not exceed 
what the amortised cost would have been 
had the impairment not been recognised.

In respect of AFS equity securities, impairment 
losses previously recognised in profit or loss are 
not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase 
in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss 
is recognised in other comprehensive income.

40

2013 ANNUAL REPORT  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED3.17 Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever 
the terms of the lease transfer substantially all 
the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of 
the leased asset to the lessee. All other leases 
are classified as operating leases.

3.17.1 Consolidated entity as lessee
Assets held under finance leases are initially 
recognised as assets of the Consolidated entity at 
their fair value at the inception date of the lease 
or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum 
lease payments. The corresponding liability to 
the lessor is included in the statement of financial 
position as a finance lease obligation.

Lease payments are apportioned between 
finance expenses and reduction of the lease 
obligation so as to achieve a constant rate 
of interest on the remaining balance of the 
liability. Finance expenses are recognised 
immediately in profit or loss, unless they are 
directly attributable to qualifying assets, in 
which case they are capitalised in accordance 
with the Consolidated entity’s general policy on 
borrowing costs (see 3.16 above). Contingent 
rentals are recognised as an expense in the 
periods in which they are incurred.

Finance leased assets are amortised on a 
straight-line basis over the estimated useful  
life of the asset.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an 
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease 
term, except where another systematic basis 
is more representative of the time pattern in 
which economic benefits from the leased asset 
are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under 
operating leases are recognised as an expense 
in the period in which they are incurred.

In the event that lease incentives are received to 
enter into operating leases, such incentives are 
recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefits of 
incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental 
expense on a straight-line basis, except where 
another systematic basis is more representative 
of the time pattern in which economic benefits 
from the leased asset are consumed.

3.18 Goodwill

3.19 Intangible assets

At cost less accumulated impairment  
losses, if any:
Goodwill arising in a business combination is 
recognised as an asset at the date that the 
control is acquired (the acquisition date). Goodwill 
is measured as the excess of the sum of the 
consolidation transferred, the amount of any 
non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the 
fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity 
interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of 
the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable 
assets acquired and the liabilities incurred.

If, after reassessment, the Consolidated entity’s 
interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s 
identifiable net assets exceeds the sum of the 
consideration transferred, the amount of any 
non-controlling interests in the acquiree and 
the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held 
equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the 
excess is recognised immediately in profit or 
loss as a bargain purchase gain. On disposal of 
a subsidiary, the attributable amount of goodwill 
is included in the determination of the profit or 
loss on disposal.

Review of potential impairment:
Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for 
impairment at least annually. For the purpose of 
impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each 
of the Consolidated entity’s cash-generating 
units expected to benefit from the synergies 
of the combination. Cash-generating units to 
which goodwill has been allocated are tested 
for impairment annually or more frequently 
when there is an indication that the unit may 
be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the 
cash-generating unit is less than the carrying 
amount, the impairment loss is allocated first 
to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill 
allocated to the unit and then to the other assets 
of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying 
amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment 
loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a 
subsequent period. 

3.19.1 Intangible assets acquired separately
Intangible assets acquired separately are carried 
at cost less accumulated amortisation and 
accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation 
is recognised on a straight-line basis over their 
estimated useful lives. The estimated useful 
life and amortisation method are reviewed 
at the end of each annual reporting period, 
with the effect of any changes in estimates 
being accounted for on a prospective basis.

3.19.2 Internally-generated intangible assets 
– research and development expenditure
Expenditure on research activities 
is recognised as an expense in the 
period in which it is incurred. 

An internally-generated intangible asset 
arising from development (or from the 
development phase of an internal project) 
is recognised if, and only if, all of the 
following have been demonstrated:
• the technical feasibility of completing 
the intangible asset so that it will 
be available for use or sale;
• the intention to complete the 

intangible asset and use or sell it;

• the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
• how the intangible asset will generate 
probable future economic benefits;
• the availability of adequate technical, 

financial and other resources to 
complete the development and to use 
or sell the intangible asset; and
• the ability to measure reliably the 

expenditure attributable to the intangible 
asset during its development.

The amount initially recognised for internally-
generated intangible assets is the sum of the 
expenditure incurred from the date when the 
intangible asset first meets the recognition 
criteria listed above. Where no internally-
generated intangible asset can be recognised, 
development expenditure is recognised in profit 
or loss in the period in which it is incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-
generated intangible assets are reported 
at cost less accumulated amortisation and 
accumulated impairment losses, on the same 
basis as intangible assets acquired separately.

The following useful lives are used in the 
calculation of amortisation:
• Capitalised development 

intangibles 

• Licenses 

2 – 10 years
2 – 10 years

2013 ANNUAL REPORT  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED

3.19.3 Intangible assets acquired 
in a business combination
Intangible assets acquired in a business 
combination are identified and recognised 
separately from goodwill and are initially 
recognised at their fair value at the acquisition 
date (which is regarded as their cost).

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible 
assets acquired in a business combination are 
reported at cost less accumulated amortisation 
and accumulated impairment losses, on the same 
basis as intangible assets acquired separately.

3.20  Impairment of tangible and intangible 

assets excluding goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the 
Consolidated entity reviews the carrying 
amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to 
determine whether there is any indication that 
those assets have suffered an impairment loss. 
If any such indication exists, the recoverable 
amount of the asset is estimated in order to 
determine the extent of the impairment loss (if 
any). Where it is not possible to estimate the 
recoverable amount of an individual asset, the 
Consolidated entity estimates the recoverable 
amount of the cash-generating unit to which 
the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and 
consistent basis of allocation can be identified, 
corporate assets are also allocated to individual 
cash-generating units, or otherwise they 
are allocated to the smallest group of cash-
generating units for which a reasonable and 
consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful 
lives and intangible assets not yet available 
for use are tested for impairment annually 
and whenever there is an indication 
that the asset may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value 
less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing 
the value in use, the estimated future cash flows 
are discounted to their present value using a 
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market 
assessments of the time value of money and the 
risks specific to the asset for which the estimates 
of future cash flows have not been adjusted. 

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or 
cash-generating unit) is estimated to be 
less than its carrying amount, the carrying 
amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) 
is reduced to its recoverable amount. An 
impairment loss is recognised immediately 
in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset 
is carried at the revalued amount, in which 
case the impairment loss is treated as a 
revaluation decrease (see 3.15 above).

Where an impairment loss subsequently 
reverses, the carrying amount of the asset 
(cash-generating unit) is increased to the 
revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but 
so that the increased carrying amount does 
not exceed the carrying amount that would 
have been determined had no impairment 
loss been recognised for the asset (cash-
generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of 
an impairment loss is recognised immediately 
in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset 
is carried at fair value, in which case the 
reversal of the impairment loss is treated as 
a revaluation increase (see 3.15 above).

3.21 Employee benefits
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to 
employees in respect of wages and salaries, 
annual leave, long service leave, and sick leave 
when it is probable that settlement will be required 
and they are capable of being measured reliably.

Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term 
employee benefits, are measured at their nominal 
values using the remuneration rate expected to 
apply at the time of settlement.

Liabilities recognised in respect of long term 
employee benefits are measured as the present 
value of the estimated future cash outflows  
to be made by the Consolidated entity in  
respect of services provided by employees  
up to reporting date.

Contributions to defined contribution 
superannuation plans are expensed when 
employees have rendered service entitling  
them to the contributions.

3.22 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the 
Consolidated entity has a present obligation 
(legal or constructive) as a result of a past 
event, it is probable that the Consolidated 
entity will be required to settle the 
obligation, and a reliable estimate can be 
made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the 
best estimate of the consideration required to 
settle the present obligation at reporting date, 
taking into account the risks and uncertainties 
surrounding the obligation. Where a provision 
is measured using the cash flows estimated to 
settle the present obligation, its carrying amount 
is the present value of those cash flows. 

When some or all of the economic benefits 
required to settle a provision are expected 
to be recovered from a third party, the 
receivable is recognised as an asset if it 
is virtually certain that reimbursement 
will be received and the amount of the 
receivable can be measured reliably.

3.22.1 Onerous contracts
Present obligations arising under onerous 
contracts are recognised and measured as a 
provision. An onerous contract is considered 
to exist where the Consolidated entity has a 
contract under which the unavoidable costs 
of meeting the obligations under the contract 
exceed the economic benefits expected to be 
received under it.

3.22.2 Make good obligations
A provision is recognised for the make good 
obligations in respect of restoring sites to their 
original condition when the premises are vacated. 
Management has estimated the provision based 
on historical data in relation to store closure 
numbers and costs, as well as future trends 
that could differ from historical amounts. 

3.22.3 Contingent liabilities acquired 
in a business combination
Contingent liabilities acquired in a business 
combination are initially measured at fair 
value at the date of acquisition. At subsequent 
reporting periods, such contingent liabilities are 
measured at the higher of the amount that would 
be recognised in accordance with AASB 137 
‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent 
Assets’ and the amount initially recognised 
less cumulative amortisation recognised in 
accordance with AASB 118 ‘Revenue’.

3.23  Financial liability and Equity Instruments

3.23.1 Classification as debt and equity
Debt and equity instruments are classified as 
either liabilities or as equity in accordance with 
the substance of the contractual arrangement. 

3.23.2 Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that 
evidences a residual interest in the assets  
of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. 
Equity instruments issued by the Consolidated 
entity are recorded at the proceeds received,  
net of direct issue costs.

3.23.3 Financial guarantee contract liabilities
Financial guarantee contract liabilities are 
measured initially at their fair values and,  
if not designated as at FVTPL, are  
subsequently at the higher of:

•  the amount of the obligation under the 
contract, as determined in accordance 
with AASB 137 ‘Provisions, Contingent 
Liabilities and Contingent Assets’; and

•  the amount initially recognised less, where 
appropriate, cumulative amortisation in 
accordance with the revenue recognition 
policies set out in 3.8 above.

42

2013 ANNUAL REPORT  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED3.24.1 Hedge accounting
The Consolidated entity designates certain 
hedging instruments, which include derivatives, 
embedded derivatives and non-derivatives, in 
respect of foreign currency risk, as either fair 
value hedges, cash flow hedges, or hedges of 
net investments in foreign operations. Hedges 
of foreign exchange risk on firm commitments 
are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

At the inception of the hedge relationship, the 
entity documents the relationship between the 
hedging instrument and hedged item, along with 
its risk management objectives and its strategy 
for undertaking various hedge transactions. 
Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and 
on an ongoing basis, the Consolidated entity 
documents whether the hedging instrument 
that is used in a hedging relationship is 
highly effective in offsetting changes in fair 
values or cash flows of the hedged item.

Note 32 sets out details of the fair 
values of the derivative instruments 
used for hedging purposes. 

3.24.2 Fair value hedge
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are 
designated and qualify as fair value hedges 
are recognised in profit or loss immediately, 
together with any changes in the fair value of the 
hedged item that is attributable to the hedged 
risk. The change in the fair value of the hedging 
instrument and the change in the hedged item 
attributable to the hedged risk are recognised 
in the line of the statement of comprehensive 
income relating to the hedged item.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the 
Consolidated entity revokes the hedging 
relationship, when the hedging instrument 
expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or 
when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. 
The fair value adjustment to the carrying amount 
of the hedged item arising from the hedged risk 
is amortised to profit or loss from that date.

3.23.4 Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as 
either financial liabilities ‘at FVTPL’ 
or ‘other financial liabilities’.

3.23.6 Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities, including 
borrowings, are initially measured at 
fair value, net of transaction costs.

3.23.5 Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL 
when the financial liability is either held for 
trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.

A financial liability is classified 
as held for trading if:

• it has been acquired principally for the 

purpose of repurchasing in the near term; or 

• on initial recognition it is a part of an 

identified portfolio of financial instruments 
that the Consolidated entity manages 
together and has a recent actual pattern 
of short-term profit-taking; or

• it is a derivative that is not designated 
and effective as a hedging instrument.
A financial liability other than a financial 
liability held for trading is designated as 
at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

• such designation eliminates or significantly 
reduces a measurement or recognition 
inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

• the financial liability forms part of a group 
of financial assets or financial liabilities or 
both, which is managed and its performance 
evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance 
with the Consolidated entity’s documented 
risk management or investment strategy, 
and information about the grouping is 
provided internally on that basis; or
• it forms part of a contract containing 
one or more embedded derivatives, 
and AASB 139 ‘Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement’ permits 
the entire combined contract (asset or 
liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at 
fair value, with any gains or losses arising 
on re-measurement recognised in profit or 
loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit 
or loss incorporates any interest paid on the 
financial liability and is included in the ‘other 
gains and losses’ line item in the statement 
of comprehensive income. Fair value is 
determined in the manner described in note 32.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently 
measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method, with interest expense 
recognised on an effective yield basis.

The effective interest method is a method of 
calculating the amortised cost of a financial 
liability and of allocating interest expense 
over the relevant period. The effective 
interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts 
estimated future cash payments through 
the expected life of the financial liability, 
or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

3.23.7 Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Consolidated entity derecognises 
financial liabilities when, and only when, 
the Consolidated entity’s obligations are 
discharged, cancelled or they expire.

3.24 Derivative financial instruments
The Consolidated entity enters into a 
variety of derivative financial instruments 
to manage its exposure to interest rate and 
foreign exchange rate risk, including foreign 
exchange forward contracts and interest rate 
swaps. Further details of derivative financial 
instruments are disclosed in note 32.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value 
at the date a derivative contract is entered into 
and are subsequently remeasured to their fair 
value at each reporting period. The resulting 
gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss 
immediately unless the derivative is designated 
and effective as a hedging instrument, in which 
event, the timing of the recognition in profit 
or loss depends on the nature of the hedge 
relationship. The Consolidated entity designates 
certain derivatives as either hedges of the 
fair value of recognised assets or liabilities 
or firm commitments (fair value hedges), 
hedges of highly probable forecast transactions 
or hedges of foreign currency risk of firm 
commitments (cash flow hedges), or hedges 
of net investments in foreign operations.

A derivative with a positive fair value is 
recognised as a financial asset; a derivative 
with a negative fair value is recognised as 
a financial liability. A derivative is presented 
as a non-current asset or a non-current 
liability if the remaining maturity of the 
instrument is more than 12 months and it is 
not expected to be realised or settled within 
12 months. Other derivatives are presented 
as current assets or current liabilities.

43

2013 ANNUAL REPORT  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED

3.24.3 Cash flow hedge
The effective portion of changes in the fair 
value of derivatives that are designated and 
qualify as cash flow hedges are recognised in 
other comprehensive income. The gain or loss 
relating to the ineffective portion is recognised 
immediately in profit or loss, and is included in 
the ‘other gains and losses’ line item. 

Amounts previously recognised in other 
comprehensive income and accumulated in 
equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the 
periods when the hedged item is recognised in 
profit or loss in the same line of the statement 
of comprehensive income as the recognised 
hedged item. However, when the forecast 
transaction that is hedged results in the 
recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-
financial liability, the gains and losses previously 
deferred in equity are transferred from equity 
and included in the initial measurement of the 
cost of the asset or liability.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the 
Consolidated entity revokes the hedging 
relationship, when the hedging instrument 
expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or 
no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any 
gains or losses accumulated in equity at that 
time remains in equity and is recognised when 
the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised 
in profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is 
no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain 
or loss that was deferred in equity is recognised 
immediately in profit or loss.

3.24.4  Hedges in net investments 
in foreign operations

Hedges of net investments in foreign operations 
are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. 
Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating 
to the effective portion of the hedge is recognised 
in other comprehensive income and accumulated 
in the foreign currency translation reserve. The 
gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion 
is recognised immediately in profit or loss and 
included in the ’other gains and losses’ line item.

Gains and losses on hedging instrument relating 
to the effective portion of the hedge accumulated 
in the foreign currency translation reserve are 
reclassified to profit or loss in the same way 
as exchange differences relating to the foreign 
operation as described at 3.6 above.

4. 

 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING 
JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES 
OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Consolidated entity’s 
accounting policies, which are described in 
note 3, the directors are required to make 
judgements, estimates and assumptions about 
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 
that are not readily apparent from other sources. 
The estimates and associated assumptions 
are based on historical experience and other 
factors that are considered to be relevant. 
Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions 
are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions 
to accounting estimates are recognised in the 
period in which the estimates are revised if 
the revision affects only that period, or in the 
period of the revision and future periods if the 
revision affects both current and future periods.

4.1   Critical judgements in applying 
the entity’s accounting policies

There are no critical judgements, apart from 
those involving estimations (Refer note 4.2), 
that directors have made in the process of 
applying the Consolidated entity’s accounting.

4.2  Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions 
concerning the future, and other key sources 
of estimation of uncertainty at the end of the 
reporting period, that have a significant risk of 
causing a material adjustment to the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities within the  
next financial year:

4.2.1 Impairment of goodwill
Determining whether goodwill is impaired 
requires an estimation of the value in use 
of the cash-generating units to which 
goodwill has been allocated. The value in use 
calculation requires the entity to estimate the 
future cash flows expected to arise from the 
cash-generating unit and a suitable discount 
rate in order to calculate present value.

The carrying amount of goodwill at the end of 
the reporting period was $57,113 thousand 
(2012: $46,927 thousand) as per note 19.

4.2.2  Fair value of derivatives and 

other financial instruments

As described in note 32, management uses 
their judgement in selecting an appropriate 
valuation technique for financial instruments not 
quoted in an active market. Valuation techniques 
commonly used by market practitioners are 
applied. For derivative financial instruments, 
assumptions are made based on quoted market 
rates adjusted for specific features of the 
instrument. Other financial instruments are 
valued using a discounted cash flow analysis 
based on assumptions supported, where 
possible, by observable market prices or rates. 
Details of assumptions are provided in note 32.

4.2.3 Employee benefits
Management judgement is applied in 
determining the following key assumptions  
used in the calculation of long service leave  
at balance date:
• future increases in wages and salaries;
• future on-cost rates; and
• experience of employee departures 

and period of service.

Refer to note 25 for further details on the 
key management judgements used in 
the calculation of long service leave.

4.2.4 Useful lives of other intangibles
As described in note 3.19.2, management 
uses their judgement to assess the useful 
lives of capitalised development intangibles 
and licenses. This is based on the estimated 
life of the asset and future economic benefits 
of the asset. The majority of these assets 
have a life of between 2 – 10 years. 

4.2.5 Impairment of loans and receivables
As described in note 3.12.6, management 
assesses impairment based on objective 
evidence including the Consolidated entity’s 
past experience of collecting payments, an 
increase in the number of delayed payments 
in the portfolio past the average credit period 
of 30 days, as well as observable changes 
in national or local economic conditions that 
correlate with default on loans and receivables.

2013 ANNUAL REPORT  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED

10.5  Unrecognised deferred tax assets
The taxation benefits of tax losses and timing differences not brought to account will only be obtained if:

• assessable income is derived of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions to be realised;
• conditions for deductibility imposed by the law are compiled with; and
• no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the realisation of the benefit from the deductions.

The Group has an unrecognised aggregate deferred tax asset of $405,366 (2012: zero) in relation to acquisition costs incurred up until the reporting 
date. This has not been recognised at 30 June 2013 as the intention of the directors is to hold the subsidiary to be acquired for the foreseeable future.

10.6  Unrecognised taxable temporary differences associated with investments and interests
At the end of the financial year, an aggregate deferred tax liability of $4,288,002 (2012: $4,288,002) was not recognised in relation to investments in 
subsidiaries as the parent Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is not probable that the temporary 
difference will reverse in the foreseeable future.

10.7  Tax consolidation
Relevance of tax consolidation to the Group

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities formed a tax-consolidated group with effect from 1 July 2003 and are therefore taxed as a 
single entity from that date. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited. The members of the tax-consolidated 
group are identified at note 17.

Nature of tax funding arrangements and tax sharing arrangements
The entities in the tax-consolidated group have not entered into a tax sharing agreement or tax funding agreement. Income tax liabilities payable to the 
taxation authorities in respect of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the financial statements of the parent entity.

13.1 Trade receivables
Trade receivables disclosed above are classified as loans and receivables and are therefore measured at amortised cost.

The average credit period on sales of goods and rendering of services is 30 days. No interest is charged on the outstanding balance. An allowance has 
been made for estimated irrecoverable amounts from the past sale of goods and rendering of services, determined by reference to past default experience. 
Trade receivables 60 days and over are provided for based on the estimated irrecoverable amounts from the sale of goods and rendering of services, 
determined by reference to past default experience.

Before accepting any new franchisees and business partners, the Consolidated entity uses a system to assess the potential franchisee’s and business 
partner’s credit quality and defines credit limits. Limits attributed to franchisees and business partners are reviewed twice a year. 

Included in the Consolidated entity’s trade receivables balance are debtors with a carrying amount of $2,882 thousand (2012: $1,716 thousand), which 
are past due at the reporting date for which the Consolidated entity has not provided as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the 
amounts are still considered recoverable. The Consolidated entity does not hold any collateral over these balances.

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Consolidated entity considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the 
date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the customer base being large and unrelated. 
Accordingly, the directors believe that there is no further allowance required in excess of the allowance for doubtful debts.

Included in the allowance for doubtful debts are individually impaired trade receivables with a balance of $3,413 thousand (2012: $3,275 thousand) for the 
Consolidated entity. The impairment recognised represents the difference between the carrying amount of these trade receivables and the present value of 
the expected recoverable proceeds. The Consolidated entity does not hold any collateral over these balances.

 Before providing any new loans to franchisees, the Consolidated entity reviews the potential franchisee’s credit quality, which is determined by reviewing a business plan and the projected future cash 
flows for that store, to ensure the franchisee is able to meet its interest repayments on the loan. On average the interest charged is based on the Westpac Interest Loan Rate (‘WILR’) plus 3% (2012 3%) 
margin in Australia and New Zealand the average interest charged in France is 5.7% (2012 5.7%) and in The Netherlands is 7.6% (2012 7.6%). 

 Included in the Consolidated entity’s balance are loans to franchisees with a carrying amount of $910 thousand (2012: $969 thousand), which are past due at reporting date of which the Consolidated 
entity has provided for these amounts. The Consolidated entity holds the store assets as collateral over these balances.

In determining the recoverability of the loans to franchisees, the Consolidated entity considers any amount that has been outstanding at reporting date. 
Accordingly, management believe that there is no further allowance required in excess of the allowances for doubtful loans.

Included in the allowance for the loans are individually impaired loans to franchisees with a balance of $910 thousand (2012: $969 thousand) for the 
Consolidated entity. The impairment recognised represents the difference between the carrying amount of these loan balances and the present value of the

2013 ANNUAL REPORT  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDEuropean market
The goodwill amount allocated to the cash-
generating units in this market relates to 
the acquisition of the Domino’s Pizza master 
franchise of France, Belgium, The Netherlands 
and the Principality of Monaco on 3 July 2006. 
The recoverable amount of the market is 
determined based on a fair value model which 
uses a five-year financial plan that has been 
prepared, including the growth of the store 
network. The cash flows for years one to five 
are based on the expected growth across the 
market, which has been included at an average 
growth rate of 46.0% per annum. A pre-tax 
discount rate of 14.1% has been applied to the 
years one to five. The growth rate of 3.0% has 
been used in determining the terminal value.

NZ market
The goodwill amount allocated to this market 
relates to the acquisition of the Pizza Haven  
New Zealand operations in 2005. The 
recoverable amount of the goodwill is based 
primarily on a value in use calculation which 
uses cash flow projections based on the 
financial budget approved by the Board for  
the 2014 financial year as the year one cash 
flow for the NZ franchise stores.

The cash flows for years one to five are based 
on the expected sales revenues to be received 
from net franchise royalties of the NZ franchise 
stores, after applying a growth rate which has 
been estimated at 4.0% per annum (2012: 5.0% 
per annum). This figure is based on the growth 
in forecast average franchise weekly sales 
from the 2013 financial year to the 2014 budget 
year. Management believes that this growth 
percentage is reasonable considering the sales 
growth that has been seen in this market during 
the 2013 financial year. A pre-tax discount rate 
of 14.14% has been applied to years one to 
five. An indefinite terminal cash flow calculation 
has been applied for cash flows beyond year 
five, using the year five cash flow as a base. 
The growth rate of 3.0% has been used in 
determining the terminal value.

Key assumptions
The key assumptions used in the value in 
use calculation for the various significant 
cash-generating units are budgeted store 
cash flows which are assumed to continue to 
increase, driven by higher sales and increased 
market share. These assumptions reflect prior 
experience and management’s plan to focus on 
store level efficiencies and to leverage market 
share for higher overall profitability. 

Management believes that any reasonable 
change in the key assumptions on which the 
recoverable amounts are based would not cause 
the market’s carrying amount to exceed its 
recoverable amount. 

NSW, QLD & NT, SA, WA & TAS, VIC  
and ACT markets
The operations in the NSW, QLD & NT, SA, WA 
& TAS, VIC and ACT markets are similar, and 
their recoverable amounts are based on similar 
assumptions. The recoverable amounts of the 
five markets are based primarily on a value in 
use calculation which uses cash flow projections 
based on the financial budget approved by the 
Board for the 2014 financial year as the year 
one cash flow. 

The cash flows for years one to five are based 
on the expected average sales percentage 
growth across corporate and franchise markets, 
which has been estimated at 4.0% per annum 
nationally (2012: 5.0% per annum nationally). 
These figures are based on management’s 
estimate of forecast cash flow by store after 
considering the 2013 financial year with the 
2014 budget year. Management believes that 
these growth percentages are reasonable 
considering forecast sales growth and 
economies of scale. A pre-tax discount rate of 
14.14% has been applied to years one to five. 
An indefinite terminal cash flow calculation 
has been applied for cash flows beyond year 
five, using the year five cash flow as a base. 
The growth rate of 3.0% has been used in 
determining the terminal value.

 The current provision for employee benefits includes $2,715 thousand of annual leave and vested long service leave entitlements accrued but not expected to be taken within 12 months (2012: $2,122 
thousand for the Consolidated entity) and a funded defined benefit plan for qualifying employees in Europe of $91 thousand which is based on the most recent actuarial valuation.
 The provision for the make good is in respect of restoring sites to their original condition when the premises are vacated. Management has estimated the provision based on historical data in relation to 
the store closure numbers and costs, as well as future trends that could differ from historical amounts.

(iii)  The provision for straight line leasing arises as fixed percentage increases in operating leases are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis, over the period of the lease.

Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited entered 
into an Underwriting Agreement with Goldman 
Sachs JBWere for its first four dividend payments 
commencing with the final dividend for the 
year ended 2 July 2006. The Board decided to 
continue the DRP Underwriting and entered into a 
renewed agreement with Goldman Sachs JBWere 
for the next four dividends commencing with the 
final dividend for the year ended 29 June 2008.

On 18 August 2009, the Board resolved to 
suspend the DRP until further notice. Therefore, 
the final dividend for the year ended 30 June 
2013 will be paid in cash only.

(c)  Capital Return
Following approval by shareholders on 7th 
November 2012, the Consolidated Entity made 
two returns of capital to its shareholders of 
$0.214 per share each time. This amounted 
to $15 million on 21 December 2012 and $15 
million on 21 June 2013. 

(a)  Options
The Company approved the establishment of 
the ESOP to assist in the recruitment, reward 
and retention of its directors and executives. 
The Company will not apply for quotation of the 
options on the ASX.

Subject to any adjustment in the event of a 
bonus issue, rights issue or reconstruction  
of capital, each option is convertible into  
one ordinary share.

Terms and conditions of the ESOP
The Company must not issue any shares or 
grant any option under this plan if, immediately 
after the issue or grant, the sum of the 
total number of unissued shares over which 
options, rights or other options (which remain 
outstanding) have been granted under this 
plan and any other Group employee incentive 
scheme would exceed 7.5% of the total number 
of shares on issue on a Fully Diluted Basis at the 
time of the proposed issue or grant.

Fully Diluted Basis means the number of shares 
which would be on issue if all those securities 
of the Company which   are capable of being 
converted into shares, were converted into 
shares. If the number of shares into which the  
securities are capable of being converted cannot 
be calculated at the relevant time, those shares 
will be disregarded.

During the year, 293,000 options were exercised 
(2012: 1,492,000). A total of $1,025,500 was 
received as consideration for 293,000 fully paid 
ordinary shares of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises 
Limited on exercise of the options in the current 
financial year (2012: $5,348,540).

(b)  Dividend reinvestment plan
On listing, the Board adopted but did not 
commence operation of a Dividend Reinvestment 
Plan (“DRP”). The DRP provides shareholders 
the choice of reinvesting some or all of their 
dividends in shares rather than receiving  
those dividends in cash.

The Board of Directors resolved to activate the 
DRP on 17 August 2006 with a commencement 
date of 21 August 2006. Shareholders with 
registered addresses in Australia or New Zealand 
are eligible to participate in the DRP. Shareholders 
outside Australia and New Zealand are not able to 
participate due to legal requirements applicable in 
their place of residence. 

Shares allocated under the DRP rank equally with 
existing shares. Shares will be issued under the 
DRP at a price equal to the average of the daily 
volume weighted average market price of the 
Company’s shares (rounded to the nearest cent) 
traded on the ASX during a period of ten trading 
days commencing on the second business day 
following the relevant record date, discounted by 
an amount determined by the Board.

32.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
32.1  Capital risk management
The Consolidated entity (“Group”) manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the 
return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balances. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2012.

The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed in note 23, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable 
to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings as disclosed in notes 28, 29, and 30 respectively.

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

The Group operates globally, primarily through subsidiary companies established in the markets in which the Group trades. None of the Group’s entities are 
subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Operating cash flows are used to maintain and expand the Group’s assets, as well as to make the routine outflows of tax, dividends and repayment of maturing 
debt. The Group’s policy is to borrow centrally, using a variety of capital market issues and borrowing facilities, to meet anticipated funding requirements.

The Group’s management and board of directors review the capital structure formally on an annual basis. As part of this review, management and the 
board of directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of management and the 
Board of Directors, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, and new share issues as well as the issue of new 
debt or the redemption of existing debt.

32.4 Financial risk management objectives
The Group’s finance department co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to 
the operations of the Group in line with the Group’s policies. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk),  
credit risk and liquidity risk. 

The Group seeks to minimise the effects of the above mentioned risks, by using derivative financial instruments to hedge these risk exposures. The use 
of financial derivatives is governed by the Group’s policies approved by the Board of Directors, which provide written principles on foreign exchange risk, 
interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity. Compliance 
with policies and exposure limits is reviewed by the Board of Directors. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative 
financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

The Group’s management and Board of Directors’ review annually the risks and policies implemented to mitigate risk exposures.

32.5 Market risk
The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the 
financial risks of changes in foreign currency 
exchange rates (refer to note 32.6) and 
interest rates (refer to note 32.7). The Group 
enters into a variety of derivative financial 
instruments to manage its exposure to interest 
rate and foreign currency risk, including:
• Interest rate swaps to mitigate 
risk of rising interest rates.
• Debt to manage currency risk.

Market risk exposures are measured 
using sensitivity analysis. 

There has been no change to the Group’s 
exposure to market risks or the manner 
in which it manages and measures 
the risk from previous period.

Hedging activities
The Group holds financial instruments to hedge 
risks relating to underlying transactions. The 
major exposure to interest rate risk and foreign 
currency risk arises from investment in foreign 
operations. Details of hedging activities are 
provided below.

The Group designated the Euro loan as a 
hedge of a net investment in foreign operations 
from the 10 December 2012. Spot rate 
changes of $1,351 thousand in respect of 
the fair value of the net assets of European 
operations was recognised in equity for the 
Consolidated entity and the company from 
the 10 December 2012 to the reporting date. 
For further details refer to note 3.24.

32.6 Foreign currency risk management
As DPE Limited’s Australian operations are 
predominantly conducted in Australian dollars, 
there is limited foreign currency exchange risk 
associated with the Australian business.

DPE Limited also has operations in New 
Zealand and Europe. The operations and 
revenues of these businesses are predominantly 
transacted in New Zealand dollars and 
Euros respectively. DPE Limited intends to 
mitigate its foreign currency translation risk 
exposure by denominating a portion of its 
senior debt in Euros. This creates a natural 
hedge and mitigates the potential for currency 
movements to negatively impact DPE Limited.

DPE Limited also purchases some equipment 
in a range of currencies, but predominantly 
USD, and has an exchange rate exposure 
due to delays between entering into a 
contract and final payment. DPE Limited will 
only enter into a hedge position (forward 
contract) in respect of equipment purchase 
once it has committed to the purchase.

The Group undertakes certain transactions 
denominated in foreign currencies, hence 
exposures to exchange rate fluctuations 
arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed 
within approved policy parameters. The 
Group designated the Euro loan as a hedge 
of a net investment in foreign operations 
from 10 December 2012. Spot rate changes 
of $1,351 thousand in respect of the euro 
denominated loan was recognised in equity 
for the Consolidated entity and the company 
from 10 December 2012 to the reporting 
date. For further details refer to note 3.24.

The carrying amount of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting date is as follows:

Euro loan
Other bank loans

32.6.1 Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
The Group is mainly exposed to Euros 
and New Zealand dollars (NZD).

The foreign currency risk exposure recognised 
from assets and liabilities arises primarily 
from the borrowings denominated in foreign 
currencies. There is no significant impact on the 
Consolidated entity’s profit from foreign currency 
movements associated with these borrowings 
as they are effectively designated as a hedge 
of the net investment in foreign operations. 

For the Group, the foreign currency translation 
risk associated with the foreign investment 
results in some volatility to the foreign 
currency translation reserve. The impact 
on the foreign currency translation reserve 
relates to translation of the net assets of 
the foreign controlled entities including 
the impact of any hedging transactions.

Hedges of net investments in foreign operations
In the consolidated financial statements the 
exposure to foreign currency translation risk is 
a result of the investment in offshore activities 
being Europe where any exchange gains and 
losses on translation of the Euro denominated 
loan are taken to the net investment hedge 
reserve (in the foreign currency translation 
reserve) only to the extent of the gains and 
losses on the value of the European net assets, 
including any intercompany loan payable to 
DPEU. Exchange differences on the excess 
between the Euro loan and net assets, including 
any intercompany loan payable to DPEU, if 
any, are recognised in the income statement.

The effectiveness of the hedging relationship 
is tested using prospective and retrospective 
effectiveness tests. In a retrospective 
effectiveness test, the changes in the value 
of the hedging instrument and the change 
in the value of the hedged net investment 
from spot rate changes are calculated. If the 
calculation is between 80 and 125 per cent, 
then the hedge is considered effective.

Any gains or losses on remeasurement of 
derivative or non-derivative financial instruments 
designated as hedges of foreign investments 
are recognised in the net investment hedge 
reserve in equity only to the extent that 
the hedging relationship is effective. The 
accumulation of the recognised gains or losses 
recorded in equity is transferred to the income 
statement when the foreign operation is sold.

Any gains or losses of the ineffective 
portion of the hedge are recognised in the 
income statement within other revenue 
or other expenses. During the year there 
was no hedge ineffectiveness attributable 
to the net investment hedges.

During the year net gains after tax of $38 
thousand (2012: $252 thousand) on the 
hedging instruments were taken directly to 
equity in the consolidated balance sheet.

The following details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the Australian Dollar against the relevant foreign currencies. 10% is the 
sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the 
possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items. Adjustments 
have only been made for transactions outstanding at period end using a 10% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number indicates an increase in 
profit or loss and other equity where the Australian Dollar strengthens against the respective currency.

This is mainly as a result of changes in fair value of borrowings designated as net investment of foreign operation hedges.

The Group’s sensitivity to foreign currency remains consistent during the current period.

32.6.2 Forward foreign exchange contracts
It is the policy of the Group to enter into 
forward foreign exchange contracts to 
cover specific foreign currency payments 
and receipts. The forward foreign exchange 
contract is only entered into once the Group 
has committed to the purchase transaction.

There were no forward foreign 
exchange contracts outstanding as 
at reporting date (2012: nil).

32.7 Interest rate risk management
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as 
it borrows funds at floating interest rates. 
The Group holds an interest rate swap 
contract to manage interest rate exposure. 
Hedging activities are evaluated regularly 
to align with interest rate views and defined 
risk appetite ensuring optimal hedging 
strategies are applied, by either positioning the 
balance sheet or protecting interest expense 
through different interest rate cycles.

32.7.1 Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below have been 
determined based on the exposure to 
interest rates for both derivative and non-
derivative instruments at the reporting date 
and the stipulated change taking place at 
the beginning of the financial year and held 
constant throughout the reporting period. 
A 100 basis point increase or decrease 
is used when reporting interest rate risk 
internally to key management personnel 
and represents management’s assessment 
of the possible change in interest rates.

At reporting date, if interest rates had been 
100 basis points higher or lower and all other 
variables were held constant, the Group’s:

• Net profit would increase by $52 thousand 
and decrease by $237 thousand (2012: 
increase by $768 thousand and increase by 
$12 thousand). This is mainly attributable 
to the Group’s exposure to interest rates 
on its variable rate borrowings.

32.8 Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a franchisee or business partner will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The 
Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating 
the risk of financial loss from defaults. Credit exposure is controlled by limits that are continually reviewed.

The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by 
international credit rating agencies.

Except as detailed in the following table, the carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances for losses, 
represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained:

The Group provides guarantees to third party financiers in order to enable internal candidates (i.e. franchisees and managers) to fund the purchase of 
DPE stores. The Group’s policy in this regard is to predominantly support internal candidates who have displayed strong operational expertise. Further, the 
Group generally provides guarantees to internal candidates in the metropolitan markets where it has operated or is operating corporate stores. In the event 
that a loan defaults, the Group’s policy is to purchase and operate the failed store as a corporate store. 

The Group has also provided a guarantee to third party financial institutions in relation to borrowings of the European subsidiary.

72

2013 ANNUAL REPORT  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED32.9 Liquidity risk management
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast 
and actual cash flows, and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Included in note 32.9.2 is a listing of additional undrawn 
facilities that the Group has at its disposal to further reduce liquidity risk.

32.9.1 Liquidity and interest risk tables
The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial assets and liabilities and non-derivative financial assets and 
liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial assets and financial liabilities based on the earliest date on 
which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

The Company must not issue any shares or grant 
any option under this plan if, immediately after 
the issue or grant, the sum of the total number 
of unissued shares over which options, rights 
or other options (which remain outstanding) 
have been granted under this plan and any other 
Group employee incentive scheme would exceed 
7.5% of the total number of shares on issue on 
a Fully Diluted Basis at the time of the proposed 
issue or grant.

Fully Diluted Basis means the number of shares 
which would be on issue if all those securities 
of the Company which   are capable of being 
converted into shares, were converted into 
shares. If the number of shares into which the  
securities are capable of being converted cannot 
be calculated at the relevant time, those shares 
will be disregarded.

Secured bank overdraft facility, reviewed annually and payable at call: 
     amount used
     amount unused

Secured commercial bill facility, reviewed annually: 
     amount used
     amount unused

33.  SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
33.1  Equity-settled share-based benefits
The Company has one share plan and one 
share and option plan available for employees 
and directors and executives of the Company: 
the Domino’s Pizza Exempt Employee Share 
Plan (“Plan”) and the Domino’s Pizza Executive 
Share and Option Plan (“ESOP”). Both plans 
were approved by a resolution of the Board of 
Directors on 11 April 2005. Fully paid ordinary 
shares issued under these plans rank equally 
with all other existing fully paid ordinary shares, 
in respect of voting and dividend rights and 
future bonus and rights issues.

33.2 Executive Share and Option Plan
The Company established the ESOP to assist 
in the recruitment, reward, retention and 
motivation of directors and executives of the 
Company (“the participants”).

In accordance with the provisions of the 
scheme, executives within the Company, to be 
determined by the Board, are granted options to 
purchase parcels of shares at various exercise 
prices. Each option confers an entitlement to 
subscribe for and be issued one share, credited 
as fully paid, at the exercise price.

Options issued under the ESOP may not be 
transferred unless the Board determines 
otherwise. The Company has no obligation to 
apply for quotation of the options on the ASX. 
However, the Company must apply to the ASX 
for official quotation of shares issued on the 
exercise of the options.

The Consolidated entity has access to financing 
facilities at reporting date as indicated above. 
The Consolidated entity expects to meet its 
other obligations from operating cash flows 
and proceeds of maturing financial assets. 
The Consolidated entity expects to maintain 
a current debt to equity ratio approved by the 
Board. This will be achieved through the issue of 
new debt and the increased use of secured bank 
loan facilities.

32.10 Fair value of financial instruments
The fair values of derivative instruments are 
determined as follows:

• The present value of future cash flows 
estimated are discounted based on the 
applicable yield curves derived from  
quoted interest rates.

The directors consider that the carrying 
amount of financial assets and financial 
liabilities recorded in the financial statements 
approximate to their fair values.

Financial instruments that are measured 
subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, are 
grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree 
to which the fair value is observable:

•  Level 1 fair value measurements are those 
derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in 
active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 fair value measurements are those 

derived from inputs other than quoted prices 
included within Level 1 that are observable 
for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as 
prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived inputs).
• Level 3 fair value measurements are those 
derived from valuation techniques that 
include inputs for the asset or liability that 
are not based on observable market data 
(unobservable inputs).

The directors consider that the financial 
instruments previously disclosed are classified 
as Level 2, and there have been no transfers 
between Level 1 and Level 2.

Goodwill arose in the business combination as the consideration paid included a premium. In addition, the consideration paid for the stores effectively 
included amounts in relation to benefits from expected synergies, revenue growth and future market development. These benefits are not recognised 
separately from goodwill as the future economic benefits arising from them cannot be reliably measured.

2013 ANNUAL REPORT  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED37.2  Businesses acquired

Acquisition of stores
During the financial year, 49 businesses were acquired in Australia, New Zealand and Europe (2012: 39 businesses). The net cash outflow on acquisition in 
the financial statements was $19,107 thousand (2012: $11,976 thousand).

Included in the above 49 stores, is 15 that the company purchased through the acquisition of Nisco Trading Pty Ltd, as per the ASX announcement on 
13 February 2013. The Purchase Price for the acquisition of the Knight Stores was subject to a minimum Purchase Price of $10,000,000 and maximum 
Purchase Price of $13,878,000. Of the maximum purchase price, $3,878,000 related to a contingent consideration being an earn out component, 
subject to the achievement of certain financial performance targets. The Earn Out component was provided in the form of a Performance Share issued at 
completion, which would convert into DMP ordinary shares in 2015 depending on the extent to which the Earn Out targets were achieved. These targets 
were not met as at 30 June 2013 resulting in the final purchase price of $10,000,000, with the performance share expected to be converted in 2015 at a 
nominal value to extinguish the performance share.

The Company advises, in accordance with the terms of the ASX approval of the Performance Share that comprised the Earn Out component of the purchase 
price of 15 stores purchased through the acquisition of Nisco Trading Pty Ltd as announced to ASX on 13 February 2013 and approved by the Company’s 
shareholders on 25 March 2013, that:
• There is, and will only be, one such Performance Share on issue;
•  The Performance Share will convert to only a Marketable Parcel (as defined in the ASX Listing Rules) of fully paid ordinary shares in or about September 2015; 

and

• The Performance Share will not convert to ordinary shares before September 2015, and will not in any circumstances convert to any more than a 

Marketable Parcel of ordinary shares. There are no applicable milestones to be met in respect of the Performance Share that might increase that number.

37.3  Non-cash financing and investing activities
During the current financial year, the Consolidated entity did not acquire any equipment under finance lease (2012: Nil).  

38.  OPERATING LEASE ARRANGEMENTS
38.1  Leasing arrangements

that the Consolidated entity exercises its options to renew. The Consolidated entity does not have an option to purchase the leased asset at the expiry of 
the lease period.

Set out below are details of claims against the Group. The Company believes that no provision is required as it is not probable that a sacrifice of future 
economic benefit will be required or the amount is not capable of reliable measurement. 

There are various separate French legal proceedings by a competitor, Speed Rabbit Pizza (“SRP”) and its franchisees against subsidiary, Domino’s Pizza 
France (“DPF”) and its franchisees. The allegations are that DPF and its franchisees breached French laws governing payment time limitations and lending, 
thereby giving DPF franchisees an unfair competitive advantage. SRP claims significant damages for impediment of the development of its franchise 
network, lost royalty income from SRP franchisees and harm to SRP’s image. DPF has denied liability and will vigorously defend the claims.

2013 ANNUAL REPORT  DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDAcquisition
On 13 August 2013, the Group announced that Aurora Australia Co., Ltd, a newly-formed and wholly-owned subsidiary of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises 
Limited, had entered into a share purchase agreement with Bain Capital Domino Hong Kong Limited (Bain) to purchase 100% of the ordinary shares in  
K.K. DPJ Holdings 1 (Holdings). Holdings is the parent company of Domino’s Pizza Japan, Inc. (DPJ) which holds the master franchisee rights for Domino’s 
Pizza in Japan. Immediately following completion of the acquisition Bain will reinvest approximately ¥4 billion (A$45 million) to subscribe for 25% of the 
issued shares in Aurora Australia Co., Ltd. The net effect is that the Group will acquire a 75% equity interest in DPJ for ¥12.0 billion (A$135 million).

The acquisition will be funded by a combination of debt and equity. The debt funding will be provided under a new bilateral facility agreement with the 
Commonwealth Bank of Australia and an amendment to the Group’s existing facility agreement with Westpac Banking Corporation. The new debt facilities 
will enable DPE to on-lend approximately ¥9.0 billion (A$101 million) of debt to DPJ. The facilities will be denominated in Japanese yen and Australian 
dollars, have a five-year term and have foreign currency and interest rate exposures that will be managed pursuant to hedging arrangements. On 13 August 
2013, the Group also announced a proposed 5 for 23 fully underwritten accelerated pro-rata renounceable rights issue to raise up to A$156 million to fund 
the acquisition. The parties have entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement which regulates the operation and funding of Aurora Australia Co., Ltd.

Completion is conditional on: (a) the debt providers not defaulting on their obligations to provide loans under the facility agreements, and; (b) on the 
underwriting agreement not being: (i) unlawfully terminated by the underwriter on or before 28 August 2013, or; (ii) otherwise terminated due to customary 
market fall, hostility and market failure underwriting termination events. Completion is also subject to other customary conditions precedent including 
compliance with the terms of the acquisition agreement, no intervening illegality, no breach of representations and warranties and no material adverse 
change relating to DPJ.

The acquisition is expected to complete in September 2013.
