2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDCORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT CONTINUED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 

executives (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 17 formal meetings during 
the year. Attendance at the 2014 Board and 
Committee meetings is detailed on page 13 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 six 
directors and includes: 

•  four independent non-executive directors,
•  one non-executive director (Chairman), and 
•  one executive director.

Chairman of the Board is Mr Jack Cowin and 
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 29 June 2014  
is set out in the Remuneration Report on  
pages 14 to 21. 

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. 

Mr Cowin does not satisfy one of the criteria 
under the ASX Principles to be considered 
independent because of his relationship with 
the major shareholder, Somad Holdings Pty 
Ltd, which is the trustee of a trust for the 
benefit of Mr Cowin’s adult children. Mr Cowin 
does not control the trust, however, the family 
relationship with the ultimate trust beneficiaries 
may be perceived as impacting on Mr Cowin’s 
independence. 

The Board (excluding Mr Cowin due to his 
personal interest) unanimously considers that 
the benefits of Mr Cowin’s involvement as a 
director and Chairman, significantly outweighs 
non-compliance with this aspect of the ASX 
Principles. Mr Cowin has extensive food 
retailing and corporate governance experience 
and makes an invaluable contribution to the 
Company.

Independent Advice
To enable DPE Limited’s Board and its 
committees to fulfil 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.

ROTATION OF THE EXTERNAL AUDIT

The Corporations Act 2001 has introduced a 
five year rotation requirement for audit partners. 
DPE Limited’s external auditor, Deloitte Touche 
Tohmatsu has an internal policy which is 
consistent with this requirement. 

Independence of the external auditors
The Committee will consider annually any 
non-audit services provided by the external 
auditors to determine whether the provision of 
those non-audit services is compatible with the 
independence of the external auditors. Policies 
are in place to restrict the type of non-audit 
services which can be provided by the external 
auditors.

Internal audit
Ernst & Young has been engaged to undertake, 
on a periodic basis, an independent and 
objective internal audit review function charged 
with evaluating, testing and reporting on the 
adequacy and effectiveness of management’s 
control of operational risk. The internal auditors 
provide reports to the Audit Committee. 

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial 
Officer sign-off to the Board in respect of DPE 
Limited’s financial statements
The sign-off required from the Chief Executive 
Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer 
(“CFO”) that DPE Limited’s financial statements 
present a true and fair view, in all material 
respects, of DPE Limited’s financial condition 
and operational results in accordance with the 
relevant Accounting Standards, is contained 
within the representations required as part of 
Recommendation 7.2 of the ASX Principles. 

The experience and qualifications of 
members of the Audit Committee are set out 
in Corporate Directory section of the Annual 
Report. Membership of and attendance at 
2014 Committee meetings are detailed in the 
Directors’ Report on page 13.

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 are eligible for re-election. 

Board Committees
The Board has established a number of 
committees to assist in the execution of its 
responsibilities. The following committees were in 
place at the date of this report:

•  Nomination and Remuneration Committee, and 
•  Audit Committee.

Details of these committees are discussed below. 

NOMINATION AND  
REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
The Board has established the Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee, which comprises the 
entire Board. From 1 July 2014, the CEO is no 
longer a member of this committee.

•  advising the Board on directorship 

appointments, with particular attention to the 
mix of skills, experience and independence;

Board composition;

appropriate compensation of directors;
•  ensuring that equity-based executive 
compensation is paid in accordance 
with thresholds set in plans approved by 
shareholders; and

•  ensuring disclosure of the information required 

in each Annual Report of the Company. 

The Company’s compensation policy links the 
nature and amount of executive directors’ and 
key management personnel’s emoluments 
to the Company’s financial and operational 
performance.

Further details of the Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee are included in the 
Remuneration Report on pages 14 to 21.

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.

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; and

• 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.

2014 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 29 June 2014 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.

Australia and New Zealand
• ANZ EBITDA increased by 21.8% for the year, 

Consolidated entity
• Profit before tax growth of 63.3% was driven 
by the acquisition of Domino’s Pizza Japan 
Inc. (DPJ), as well as strong sales and new 
store rollouts in ANZ.

• The Effective tax rate (Tax expense divided 
by profit before tax) for FY14 was 31.95% 
compared with 29.7% in FY13. The increase 
was primarily driven by the higher statutory 
tax rate arising on the Japan operations.
• Cash flows from operating activities have 

increased by $57.5m from FY13, supported by 
a $21.9m improvement in working capital in 
Japan, due to a timing difference of $17m on 
trade payables.

• There is an increase in Plant & Equipment and 
Goodwill as at 29 June 2014 compared with 
30 June 2013, predominantly resulting from 
the DPJ acquisition and expenditure on new 
and refurbished stores. Other non-current 
assets have increased mainly due to identified 
intangibles recognised on the DPJ acquisition.

• Strong trading results in ANZ and the 

acquisition of the Japan business has seen 
EBITDA grow by 68.1%. 

• Revenue for FY14 was $588.7m. Same 

store sales of 6.3% in ANZ, 2.7% in Europe 
and 10.7% in Japan (during DPE ownership 
period), have been achieved for the year. This 
is mainly attributed to new store rollouts in 
ANZ, and increased television advertising and 
store relocations to higher profile locations in 
Japan. 

• There is an underlying NPAT growth of 50.4% 
compared with FY13, inclusive of acquisition 
funding costs, higher marginal tax rate (37.5% 
in Japan) and the 25% minority interest 
distribution in Japan. This is driven by the 
Japan acquisition, as well as strong sales 
growth and new store rollouts in ANZ.
• The Consolidated entity set a new record 
of 125 organic new store openings in 
the period. At year end, there were 612 
network stores in ANZ, 401 in Europe, 
and 320 in Japan, to total 1333.

compared with FY13.

• Promotional activity such as the Peri 
Peri range, Super Delivery weekends, 
targeted value drivers with the Offers App 
and continued digital strategies have all 
contributed to a Same Store Sales (SSS) 
result of 6.3% for the year.

• Revenue for FY14 in ANZ was $203.3m. Same 
Store Sales were stronger in H2 14 (2nd half 
of FY14) than the first half, despite rolling a 
higher comparative period.

• We have added 44 new stores to the network 

this year, the best result since FY06, 
which included opening the 600th store in 
November 2013. Digital development and 
technology continues to be a key focus for 
the business. Key developments during the 
year included the release of the Offers App 
and the integration of PayPal as a payment 
method into the online ordering website. The 
Pizza Chef tool has now been added as a 
standard feature on all the HTML5 platforms.

Europe
• Europe EBITDA increased by 34.5%, 

compared with FY13. Excluding the significant 
items of additional legal costs relating to 
litigation with Speed Rabbit Pizza in France 
and European management restructuring 
costs, underlying EBITDA increased by 41.1%, 
compared with FY13. A number of initiatives 
have been implemented in France across the 
business, including management, operational 
and marketing changes, that have started to 
show results during H2 14. The Consolidated 
entity has also been partially assisted by a 
stronger Euro.

• Revenue for FY14 in Europe was $144.4m. 

Despite a softer first half year, SSS of 4.6% in 
H2 14 have been significantly better which has 
contributed to the overall result. New store 
growth of 27 new stores has been slightly 
behind expectations as the Consolidated 
entity focussed its efforts on those initiatives 
mentioned above.

• Included in the new store portfolio is a “pizza 
by the slice” concept store in the Netherlands 
which has proved popular. 

• The implementation of the global POS 

(“Pulse”) and online ordering systems in The 
Netherlands has been successful, leading to 
positive sales momentum. The rollout of these 
systems in France and Belgium is underway 
with the majority of the rollout expected to be 
completed by the end of FY15.
• There has been a decision in the 

proceedings brought by Speed Rabbit 
Pizza in 2012, with all claims against 
Domino’s Pizza France being dismissed. 
SRP is expected to appeal the decision.

Japan
• The addition of the Domino’s Japan business 
to the Consolidated entity has been another 
significant milestone.

• DMP Japan has made a solid EBITDA 

contribution of $24.2m during the 10 month 
ownership period (3rd Sep 2013 to 29th Jun 
2014). Excluding the significant items of 
acquisition related costs and post-acquisition 
research costs, EBITDA was $27.4m.

• Domino’s Japan has added 54 stores to the 
network since acquisition, a record for that 
business. In the full 12 month period, 61 
stores were added, also a record.

• Revenue for FY14 in Japan was $240.9m. 

Same Store Sales have increased by 10.7% 
during the DPE ownership period, primarily 
driven by increased television advertising 
campaigns and the relocation of a number of 
stores into higher profile locations. 
• Domino’s Japan also introduced a new 

internal franchisee financing program for 
high performing corporate store managers. 
Since its introduction in December 2013, 
Domino’s Japan has financed 11 store 
managers into their own franchise stores.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDEBITDA, Underlying EBITDA and Underlying 
NPAT are non IFRS performance measures and 
are defined in the glossary of these financial 
statements. This information is disclosed 
above as it represents key measures used by 
management in describing and managing the 
performance of the business and operations 
for the year, by excluding non-recurring 
expenditure. The references to FY13, FY14 and 
FY06, refer to the 52 week period ending in the 
2013, 2014 and 2006 financial year.

Underlying EBITDA and Underlying NPAT for 
2014 excludes acquisition and integration 
related costs associated with Domino’s Japan of 
$3.2m (included in ‘acquisition and integration 
related costs’ on the Consolidated statement of 
profit or loss and other comprehensive income), 
restructuring costs in Europe of $1.1m (included 
in ‘Other expenses’ on the Consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income), and related reduction 
of tax expense of $0.9m. Underlying EBITDA and 
Underlying NPAT for 2013 excludes acquisition 
and integration related costs associated 
with Domino’s Japan of $1.4m (included in 
‘acquisition and integration related costs’ on 
the Consolidated statement of profit or loss and 
other comprehensive income), restructuring and 
litigation costs in Europe of $0.5m (included in 
‘Other expenses’ on the Consolidated statement 
of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income), other significant charges in Australia 
of $0.1m (included in ‘Other expenses’ on the 
Consolidated statement of profit or loss and 
other comprehensive income) and related 
reduction of tax expense of $0.2m.

Changes in state of affairs
On 3rd September 2013, DPE acquired 75% 
of the issued share capital of Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Japan (DPEJ), obtaining control 
of Domino’s Pizza Japan (DPJ). DPJ is the 
Domino’s Pizza Master Franchisee for Japan and 
was at the time the third largest pizza delivery 
chain in Japan. It is expected that this will 
provide the Consolidated entity with substantial 
growth into the future. The remaining 25% of 
DPEJ is owned by Bain Capital Domino’s Hong 
Kong Limited and is subject to a put and call 
option. Apart from this, there were no other 
significant changes in the state of affairs of the 
Consolidated entity that occurred during the 
financial year.

Subsequent events
There has not been any matter or circumstance 
occurring subsequent to the end of the 
financial year that has significantly affected, 
or may significantly affect, the operations of 
the Consolidated entity, the results of those 
operations, or the state of affairs of the 
Consolidated entity in future financial years 
other than the matters disclosed in note 44.

Future developments
In Australia and New Zealand, the focus 
will be to continue to increase and leverage 
our digital capabilities and maximise online 
sales. In conjunction with this, the Company 
is also targeting record new organic store 
openings across metro and regional markets. 
The Company has recently developed a next 
generation store image, which will help keep 
our stores relevant to customers. The key 
area of differentiation for the upcoming year 
is the development of the Pizza Mogul system. 
Coupled with “Cheaper Everyday $4.95” pricing, 
the expectation is that customer counts will 
continue to grow.

In Europe, the Company will continue to focus 
on delivering a number of new initiatives that 
have been put in place to improve operational 
efficiencies. The Company has completed the 
rollout of its global POS and online ordering 
systems in The Netherlands, with work already 
underway on the rollout in Belgium and France. 
Record organic new store growth is targeted for in 
FY15 in the region. The Company has its biggest 
pipeline of new stores for the region. In addition, a 
site for the new Commissary in the north of Paris 
has been located and designs are underway.

In Japan, the key areas of focus in FY15 will be 
the continuation of new store rollouts, including 
the expansion of our recently created “Can 
Do! Partners” franchisee financing program 
and increasing our presence across a range of 
immature markets. Stores will also continue to be 
relocated to higher profile sites in a bid to increase 
the growth in carry out sales. A new HTML5 
website will be launched in November 2014, and 
the migration to the global POS system is expected 
to be completed before the end of June 2015.

Environmental regulations
The Consolidated entity is not subject to any 
significant environmental regulation or mandatory 
emissions reporting.

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 43 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 22 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 CEO. The Managing Director/CEO 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 2014 financial 
year. Payment of $33,600 (2013: $25,410) 
has been made to the remuneration consultant 
for the services provided on the remuneration 
recommendation. 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. 

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDDIRECTORS’ REPORT CONTINUED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 (as 
defined on page 20). 

Short-term incentive bonus

Each year the Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee sets the key performance indicators 
(“KPI’s”) for the Managing Director/CEO and 
the Managing Director/CEO 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/CEO 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/CEO 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 17.

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.

Long term bonuses
There were no long term cash bonuses granted for the financial year ended 29 June 2014. 

Executive share and option plan (ESOP)
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.

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.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDDIRECTORS’ REPORT CONTINUED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

Jack Cowin 
Chairman 
Sydney, 11 August 2014

Don Meij 
Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer 
Sydney, 11 August 2014

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 $800,000 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 (2013:  $80,000), $92,000 per annum 
for the Chairman of the Audit Committee (2013: 
$92,000), $160,000 per annum for the Deputy 
Chairman, and for the Chairman of the Board was 
$160,000 per annum (2013: $160,000).

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/CEO, 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/CEO and provides 
that the Board and Managing Director/CEO 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 29 
June 2014, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of cash flows and the statement of changes in equity for the 
period 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 period end or from time to time during the financial year as set out 
on pages 25 to 91.

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.  APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
2.1  New and revised AASBs affecting amounts reported and/or disclosures in the financial statements
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

AASB 2011-4 ‘Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key 
Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements’

This standard removes the individual key management personnel disclosure requirements in 
AASB 124 ‘Related Party Disclosures’. As a result the Consolidated entity only discloses the key 
management personnel compensation in total and for each of the categories required in AASB 124.

AASB 2012-2 ‘Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards – Disclosures – Offsetting 
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities’

AASB 2012-5 ‘Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards arising from Annual 
Improvements 2009- 2011 Cycle’

In the current year the individual key management personnel disclosure previously required by AASB 
124 is now disclosed in the remuneration report due to an amendment to Corporations Regulations 
2001 issued in June 2013. 

The Consolidated entity has applied the amendments to AASB 7 ‘Disclosures – Offsetting Financial 
Assets and Financial Liabilities’ for the first time in the current year. The amendments to AASB 7 
require entities to disclose information about rights of offset and related arrangements (such as 
collateral posting requirements) for financial instruments under an enforceable master netting 
agreement or similar arrangement.

The amendments have been applied retrospectively. As the Consolidated entity does not have any 
offsetting arrangements in place, the application of the amendments does not have any material 
impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The Annual Improvements to AASBs 2009 - 2011 have made a number of amendments to AASBs. 
The amendments that are relevant to the Consolidated entity are the amendments to AASB 101 
regarding when a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period (third 
statement of financial position) and the related notes are required to be presented. The amendments 
specify that a third statement of financial position is required when a) an entity applies an accounting 
policy retrospectively, or makes a retrospective restatement or reclassification of items in its financial 
statements, and b) the retrospective application, restatement or reclassification has a material effect 
on the information in the third statement of financial position. The amendments specify that related 
notes are not required to accompany the third statement of financial position.

32

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNew and revised Standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures
In August 2011, a package of five standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures was issued comprising AASB 10 
‘Consolidated Financial Statements’, AASB 11 ‘Joint Arrangements’, AASB 12 ‘Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities.

In the current year, the Consolidated entity has applied for the first time AASB 10, AASB 11, AASB 12 and AASB 128 (as revised in 2011) together with the 
amendments to AASB 10, AASB 11 and AASB 12 regarding the transitional guidance. AASB 127 (as revised in 2011) is applicable in that it applies to the 
Parent Entity. The impact of the application of these standards is set out below.

AASB 10 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’ 
and AASB 2011-7 ‘Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards arising from the  
consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards’

AASB 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ and  
AASB 2011-8 ‘Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13’

AASB 119 ‘Employee Benefits’ (2011)  
and AASB 2011-10 ‘Amendments to  
Australian Accounting Standards  
arising from AASB 119 (2011)’

AASB 10 replaces the parts of AASB 127 ‘Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements’ that 
deal with consolidated financial statements and Interpretation 112 ‘Consolidation – Special Purpose 
Entities’. AASB 10 changes the definition of control such that an investor controls an investee 
when a) it has power over an investee, b) it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its 
involvement with the investee, and c) has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. All three 
of these criteria must be met for an investor to have control over an investee. Previously, control 
was defined as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain 
benefits from its activities. Additional guidance has been included in AASB 10 to explain when an 
investor has control over an investee. 

In accordance with these transitional provisions, the Consolidated entity has not made any new 
disclosures required by AASB 10 for the 2012 comparative period, the application of AASB 10 has not 
had any material impact on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

The Consolidated entity has applied AASB 13 for the first time in the current year. AASB 13 
establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair 
value measurements. The scope of AASB 13 is broad; the fair value measurement requirements of 
AASB 13 apply to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other 
AASBs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, 
except for sharebased payment transactions that are within the scope of AASB 2 ‘Share-based 
Payment’, leasing transactions that are within the scope of AASB 117 ‘Leases’, and measurements 
that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value (e.g. net realisable value for the 
purposes of measuring inventories or value in use for impairment assessment purposes).

AASB 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a 
liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement 
date under current market conditions. Fair value under AASB 13 is an exit price regardless of 
whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Also, AASB 
13 includes extensive disclosure requirements.

AASB 13 requires prospective application from 1 July 2013. In addition, specific transitional 
provisions were given to entities such that they need not apply the disclosure requirements set out 
in the Standard in comparative information provided for periods before the initial application of the 
Standard. In accordance with these transitional provisions, the Consolidated entity has not made 
any new disclosures required by AASB 13 for the 2013 comparative period. Other than the additional 
disclosures, the application of AASB 13 does not have any material measurement impact on the 
amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

In the current year, the Consolidated entity has applied AASB 119 (as revised in 2011) ‘Employee 
Benefits’ and the related consequential amendments for the first time. AASB 119 (as revised in 2011) 
changes the accounting for defined benefit plans and termination benefits. The most significant 
change relates to the accounting for changes in defined benefit obligations and plan assets. The 
amendments require the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and in the fair value 
of plan assets when they occur, and hence eliminate the ‘corridor approach’ permitted under the 
previous version of AASB 119 and accelerate the recognition of past service costs. All actuarial gains 
and losses are recognised immediately through other comprehensive income in order for the net 
pension asset or liability recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position to reflect the 
full value of the plan deficit or surplus. Furthermore, the interest cost and expected return on plan 
assets used in the previous version of AASB 119 are replaced with a ‘net interest’ amount under 
AASB 119 (as revised in 2011), which is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined 
benefit liability or asset. We have applied these standards on defined benefit plans in the current

 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 29 June 2014. 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 11 August 2014.

3.2  Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared on the basis of historical cost, except 
for certain properties and financial instruments 
that are measured at revalued amounts or fair 
values at the end of each reporting period, as 
explained in the accounting policies below. 
Historical cost is generally based on the fair 
values of the consideration given in exchange for 
goods and services. All amounts are presented 
in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. 
Fair value is the price that would be received to 
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an 
orderly transaction between market participants 
at the measurement date, regardless of whether 
that price is directly observable or estimated 
using another valuation technique. In estimating 
the fair value of an asset or a liability, the 
Consolidated entity takes into account the 
characteristics of the asset or liability if market 
participants would take those characteristics 
into account when pricing the asset or liability at 
the measurement date. 

Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure 
purposes in these consolidated financial 
statements is determined on such a basis, 
except for share-based payment transactions 
that are within the scope of AASB 2, leasing 
transactions that are within the scope of 
AASB 117, and measurements that have some 
similarities to fair value but are not fair value, 
such as net realisable value in AASB 102 or 
value in use in AASB 136. 

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, 
fair value measurements are categorised into 
Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which 
the inputs to the fair value measurements are 
observable and the significance of the inputs to 
the fair value measurement in its entirety, which 
are described as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) 

in active markets for identical assets or 
liabilities that the entity can access at the 
measurement date;

• Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted 

prices included within Level 1, that are 
observable for the asset or liability, either 
directly or indirectly; and

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable 
inputs for the asset or liability.

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 principal accounting policies are set out below.

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 when the 
Company

• has power over the investee;
• is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns 
from its involvement with the investee; and,

• has the ability to use its power 

to affect its returns. 

The Company reassesses whether or not it 
controls an investee if facts and circumstances 
indicate that there are changes to one or more of 
the three elements of control listed above.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the 
Company obtains control over the subsidiary and 
ceases when the Company loses control of the 
subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of 
a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the 
year are included in the consolidated statement 
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income 
from the date the Company gains control until 
the date when the Company ceases to control 
the subsidiary. 

Profit or loss and each component of other 
comprehensive income are attributed to the 
owners of the Company and to the non-
controlling interests. Total comprehensive 
income of subsidiaries is attributed to the 
owners of the Company and to the non-
controlling interests even if this results in 
the non-controlling interests having a deficit 
balance. When necessary, adjustments are 
made to the financial statements of subsidiaries 
to bring their accounting policies into line with 
the Consolidated entity’s accounting policies. All 
intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, 
expenses and cash flows relating to transactions 
between members of the Consolidated entity are 
eliminated in full on consolidation.

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.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of 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) over 
the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the 
identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities 
assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the 
acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable 
assets acquired and liabilities assumed 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 interest in the acquiree (if any), 
the excess is recognised immediately in profit or 
loss as a bargain purchase gain.

Non-controlling interests that are present 
ownership interests and entitle their holders to a 
proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in 
the event of liquidation may be initially measured 
either at fair value or at the non-controlling 
interests’ proportionate share of the recognised 
amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net 
assets. The choice of measurement basis is 
made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. 
Other types of non-controlling interests are 
measured at fair value or, when applicable, on 
the basis specified in another Standard.

35

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED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 above), 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.

Investments in associates
3.5 
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.

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.

Where the consideration transferred by the 
Consolidated entity in a business combination 
includes assets or liabilities resulting from a 
contingent consideration arrangement, the 
contingent consideration is measured at its 
acquisition-date fair value. Changes in the 
fair value of the contingent consideration that 
qualify as measurement period adjustments are 
adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding 
adjustments against goodwill. Measurement 
period adjustments are adjustments that arise 
from additional information obtained during the 
‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one 
year from the acquisition date) about facts and 
circumstances that existed at the acquisition 
date.

The subsequent accounting for changes in the 
fair value of contingent consideration that do 
not qualify as measurement period adjustments 
depends on how the contingent consideration 
is classified. Contingent consideration that 
is classified as equity is not remeasured at 
subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent 
settlement is accounted for within equity. 

Contingent consideration that is classified as an 
asset or liability is remeasured at subsequent 
reporting dates in accordance with AASB 139, 
or AASB 137 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities 
and Contingent Assets’, as appropriate, with the 
corresponding gain or loss being recognised in 
profit or loss.

Where a business combination is achieved in 
stages, the Consolidated entity’s previously held 
equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to 
its acquisition date fair value 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 Consolidated entitys) 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.

36

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  CONTINUED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

• 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. Exchange 
differences arising are recognised in other 
comprehensive income.

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.

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 35. 

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. 

37

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED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 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.

38

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.

3.11  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.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  CONTINUED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.

3.12.6  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. For financial assets that are 
carried at cost, the amount of the impairment 
loss is measured as the difference between the 
asset’s carrying amount and the present value 
of the estimated future cash flows discounted 
at the current market rate of return for a similar 
financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be 
reversed in subsequent periods.

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.

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.

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 

Consolidated entity 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 34.

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.

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 34. 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.

39

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED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. 
When an asset is reclassed to Property, Plant & 
Equipment, depreciation is applied for the period 
from when it was first reclassified as held for 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.

3.17  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

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.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  CONTINUED3.19  Intangible assets

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

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.

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.

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.

3.21.1  Retirement benefit costs
Payments to defined contribution retirement 
benefit plans are recognised as an expense when 
employees have rendered service entitling them 
to the contributions. 

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, 
the cost of providing benefits is determined 
using the projected unit credit method, 
with actuarial valuations being carried out 
at the end of each annual reporting period. 
Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains 
and losses, the effect of the changes to the 
asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on 
plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected 
immediately in the statement of financial 
position with a charge or credit recognised in 
other comprehensive income in the period in 
which they occur. Remeasurement recognised 
in other comprehensive income is reflected 
immediately in retained earnings and will not be 
reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost 
is recognised in profit or loss in the period of a 
plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by 
applying the discount rate at the beginning of the 
period to the net defined benefit liability or asset.

Defined benefit costs are categorised as follows:

• Service cost (including current service cost, 

past service cost, as well as gains and losses 
on curtailments and settlements);
• Net interest expense or income; and
• Re-measurement

The Consolidated entity presents the first two 
components of defined benefit costs in profit or 
loss in the line item employee benefits expense. 
Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for 
as past service costs.

The retirement benefit obligation recognised in 
the consolidated statement of financial position 
represents the actual deficit or surplus in the 
Consolidated entity’s defined benefit plans.  
Any surplus resulting from this calculation is 
limited to the present value of any economic 
benefits available.

41

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED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
A financial guarantee contract is a contract 
that requires the issuer to make specified 
payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it 
incurs because a specified debtor fails to make 
payments when due in accordance with the 
terms of a debt instrument.

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.

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

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 34.

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

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. The difference between the carrying 
amount of the financial liability derecognised 
and the consideration paid and payable is 
recognised in profit or loss.

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. 

42

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  CONTINUED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 34.

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.

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 34 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.

3.24.3  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.

3.25 Non-Controlling Interest
Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired 
or disposed of during the year are included in 
the consolidated statement of profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income from the 
effective date of acquisition and up to the 
effective date of disposal, as appropriate. 
Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries 
is attributed to the owners of the Company 
and to the non-controlling interests even if 
this results in the non-controlling interests 
having a deficit balance. The carrying amounts 
of the Consolidated entity’s interests and the 
non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect 
the changes in their relative interests in the 
subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount 
by which the non-controlling interests are 
adjusted and the fair value of the consideration 
paid or received is recognised directly in equity 
and attributed to owners of the Company.

We have applied the partial recognition of the 
non-controlling interest (equity method) method 
when accounting for the put option liability 
and non-controlling interest. This approach is 
appropriate given the company has no present 
ownership of the minority interest shares. 
While the non-controlling interest remains 
unexercised, the accounting is as follows:

• The non-controlling interest receives an 

allocation of the profit or loss for the period;
• A put option liability is recognised at fair value 

in accordance with IAS 39;

• The non-controlling interest is de-recognised 

at that date; and

• The difference between the recognising of 
the put option liability and de-recognising 
the non-controlling interest is recorded 
through equity in the parent company. 

The put options held by non-controlling interests 
are classified as a financial liability and are 
measured at fair value. The non-controlling 
interests continue to have access to voting rights 
and dividends in the subsidiaries and continue 
to be attributed a share of profits. Subsequent 
changes in the financial liability are recorded 
directly in equity.

43

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED4.1.7  Put Option Liability
This liability is valued by management by taking 
into account adjusted unlevered price/earnings 
multiple rates and estimate of the timing of the 
put. This is based on management’s experience 
and knowledge of market conditions of the 
Japan Pizza Industry and dealings with the seller 
of Domino’s Japan.

4.1.8   Discount rate used to determine the 
carrying amount of the Consolidated 
entity’s defined benefit obligation
The Consolidated entity’s defined benefit 
obligation is discounted at a rate set by 
reference to market yields at the end of the 
reporting period on high quality corporate bonds. 
Significant judgement is required when setting 
the criteria for bonds to be included in the 
population from which the yield curve is derived. 
The most significant criteria considered for the 
selection of bonds include the issue size of the 
corporate bonds, qualify of the bonds and the 
identification of outliers which are excluded.

4.1.3  Employee benefits
Management judgement is applied in 
determining the following key assumptions 
used in the calculation of long service leave and 
annual leave at balance date:

• future increases in wages and salaries;
• future on-cost rates; and
• experience of employee departures 

and period of service.

4.1.4  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. 

4.1.5  Impairment of loans and receivables
As described in note 3.12.5, 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. 

4.1.6   Fair value of other intangible assets 

from Master Franchisee Agreement from 
Japan Acquisition

The Master Franchise Agreement (MFA) was 
valued under management’s guidance using a 
modified Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method 
income approach taking into account the 
following inputs:

• Revenues generated; 
• Expected EBITDA margin; 
• Expected income tax rate; and
• Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) rate.

Management have determined that the master 
franchise agreement and associated franchise 
agreements relating to the acquisition of 
Domino’s Pizza Japan (DPJ) are to be treated 
as indefinite life intangibles based on the 
sufficiency of available evidence supporting the 
ability of the Consolidated entity to renew these 
agreements beyond their initial terms without 
incurring significant cost.

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 

 Key sources of estimation uncertainty 
and critical judgements in applying the 
entity’s accounting policies

The following are the key assumptions and 
critical judgements 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:

4.1.1  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 and fair value 
less costs to sell calculations require 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 $278,113 thousand 
(2013: $57,113 thousand) as per note 19.

4.1.2   Fair value of derivatives and other 

financial instruments

As described in note 34, 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 34.

6.1  Products and services from which reportable segments derive their revenues
The Consolidated entity has identified its operating segments on the basis of internal reports about components of the Consolidated entity that are regularly 
reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.

Information reported to the Consolidated entity’s Chief Executive Officer for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of performance is 
specifically focused on the geographical location the Consolidated entity operates in. The Consolidated entity’s reportable segments under AASB 8 are 
therefore as follows:

• Australia / New Zealand

For the purposes of monitoring segment performance and allocating resources between segments:

• all assets are allocated to reportable segments. Goodwill is allocated to reportable segments as described in note 19.1. Assets used jointly by reportable 

segments are allocated on the basis of the revenue earned by individual reportable segments; and

• all liabilities are allocated to reportable segments. Liabilities for which reportable segments are jointly liable are allocated in proportion to segment assets.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED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 complied with; and
• no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the realisation of the benefit from the deductions.

10.6    Unrecognised taxable temporary differences associated with investments and interests
At the end of the financial year, an aggregate deferred tax liability of $49,315,998 (2013: $8,576,004) 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 Consolidated entity
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.

The weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purposes of diluted earnings per share reconciles to the weighted average number of ordinary 
shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share as follows:

Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic EPS

The weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of calculating both the basic and diluted earnings per share have been adjusted for 
the current year and the prior year comparative to reflect the bonus element included in the rights issue conducted for the capital raising in August and 
September 2013. The diluted earnings per share calculation takes into account all options issued under the ESOP, as in accordance with AASB 133 
Earnings per Share, the average market price of ordinary shares during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options or warrants.

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 $2,008 thousand (2013: $2,882  thousand), which 
are past due at the reporting date for which the Consolidated entity has not provided for, 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 $2,863 thousand (2013: $3,413 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.

(i)   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 Indicator Lending Rate (‘WILR’) plus 3% (2013: 3%) 
margin in Australia and New Zealand. The average interest charged in France is 4.8% (2013: 5.7%) and in The Netherlands is 8.6% (2013: 7.6%), and the average interest charged in Japan is 5.0%. Included 
in the Consolidated entity’s balance are loans to franchisees with a carrying amount of $854 thousand (2013: $910 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 $854 thousand (2013: $910 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 
expected recoverable proceeds. The Consolidated entity holds collateral of the stores assets over these balances.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  CONTINUEDJapanese 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 Japan on 3 September 2013. 

The recoverable amount of the market is 
determined based on a fair value less costs to 
sell model which includes future cash flows 
over an 8 year period based on management’s 
expectations on the market growth rates and 
further investment in store rollout. A post-tax 
discount rate of 10.50% has been applied 
and a growth rate of 1.5% has been used in 
determining the terminal value. Based on this 
analysis, no impairment losses have been 
identified since the acquisition of the market.

Management has reviewed sensitivity on the key 
assumptions on which the recoverable amounts 
are based and believes that any reasonably 
possible change on these would not cause 
the market’s carrying amount to exceed its 
recoverable amount. 

Key assumptions
The key assumptions used in the value in use 
and fair value less costs to sell calculations 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 has reviewed 
sensitivity on the key assumptions on which the 
recoverable amounts are based and believes 
that any reasonable change on these 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 (2013: 4.0% per annum nationally). 
These figures are based on management’s 
estimate of forecast cash flow by store after 
considering the 2013 and 2014 financial years 
with the 2015 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. A 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 and corporate 
stores. 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 (2013: 4.0% 
per annum). This figure is based on the growth 
in forecast average franchise weekly sales from 
the 2013 and 2014 financial years to the 2015 
budget year. Management believes that this 
growth percentage is reasonable considering 
the sales growth that has been seen in this 
market during the 2014 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. A growth rate of 3.0% has been used 
in determining the terminal value.

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 sales growth rates, 
which represent a compound annual growth 
rate of 19.9% for The Netherlands and 12.1% 
for France/Belgium. A pre-tax discount rate of 
14.1% has been used for The Netherlands and 
14.77% for France/Belgium has been applied to 
the years one to five. A growth rate of 3.0% has 
been used in determining the terminal value.

 The average credit period on purchases of goods is 30 days. The Consolidated entity has financial risk management policies in place to ensure that all payables are paid within the credit timeframe.

Included within Other creditors and accruals is a liability of $2.0 million (2013: $0.2 million), which relates to the surplus held in relation to the National 
Advertising Fund (“AdFund”). In addition to franchise fees, franchisees pay contributions which are collected by the Consolidated entity for specific use 
within the AdFund. The Consolidated entity operates the funds on behalf of the franchisees with the objective of driving revenues for their stores. The fund 
is specifically used to pay for marketing and advertising. As all AdFund contributions are designated for specific purposes and do not result in a profit or 
loss for the Consolidated entity, the revenue and expenditure are presented net within the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss. Total contributions 
made to the fund during the 52 weeks ended 29 June 2014 were $49.2 million (2013: $43.2 million).

 The provision includes $10,633 thousand of annual leave and vested long service leave entitlements accrued (2013: $2,715 thousand for the Consolidated entity), a defined benefit plan for qualifying 
employees in Europe of $95 thousand and in Japan which is based on the most recent actuarial valuation. Details of the Japanese defined benefit plan can be found in note 26.
 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.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  CONTINUED26.  RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
26.1  Defined benefit plans

Domino’s Pizza Japan, Inc.
The Consolidated entity operates an unfunded retirement benefit plan where a lump-sum amount is paid out to eligible full-time employees of Domino’s 
Pizza Japan with more than three years of service as of retirement.

The lump-sum amount is calculated as monthly salary as of retirement multiplied by a multiple. The multiple is based on years of service up to a maximum 
of 41 years and whether retirement is voluntary or involuntary.

The plan typically exposes the Consolidated entity to actuarial risks such as: interest rate risk, retention risk and salary risk.

Interest rate risk
A decrease in the bond interest rate in Japan will increase the plan liability by reducing the discount rate.  The rate used at last valuation was 0.7%.

Retention risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the expected length of service of full-time staff. As such, an increase in 
the length of service above the expected length will increase the plan’s liability.

Salary risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary 
of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

The most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out at 30 June 2014 by Mr. K 
Taniguchi, Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries of Japan. 

The principal assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:

Discount rate
Expected rate of salary increase
Number of employees
Average service years
Expected service years

Amounts recognised in comprehensive income in respect of these defined benefit plans are as follows:

Service cost:
Current service cost
Net interest expense
Components of defined benefit costs recognised in profit or loss

Remeasurement on the net defined benefit liability:
Actuarial gains and losses arising from changes in financial assumptions

Components of defined benefit costs recognised in other comprehensive income

Total

Of the expense for the year, an amount of $632 thousand has been included in profit or loss as administration expenses. 

The remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability is included in other comprehensive income.

(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.

(c)  Capital Return
Following approval by shareholders on 7 
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. 

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. 

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 29 June 
2014 will be paid in cash only.

Expiry date 12 months after vesting date.

(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, 396,000 options were exercised 
(2013: 293,000). A total of $1,260,600 was 
received as consideration for 396,000 fully paid 
ordinary shares of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises 
Limited on exercise of the options in the current 
financial year (2013: $1,025,500).

notes 29, 30, 31 and 32 respectively.

The Consolidated entity is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

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

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

The Consolidated entity’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 Consolidated entity 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.

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

The Consolidated entity 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 Consolidated entity’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 Consolidated entity does not enter 
into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

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

34.5 Market risk
The Consolidated entity’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (refer to note 34.6) and interest 
rates (refer to note 34.7). The Consolidated entity enters into a variety of derivative and non-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.
• Cross currency interest rate swap to mitigate rising interest rates and foreign exchange fluctuation.
• Debt to manage currency risk.

Market risk exposures are measured using sensitivity analysis. 

There has been no change to the Consolidated entity’s manner in which it manages and measures the risk from previous period.

71

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDHedging activities
The Consolidated entity 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.

Cashflow hedge
The Consolidated entity uses JPY denominated 
interest rate swaps to hedge variability in the 
cash flows arising from future changes in floating 
rates on the Japan Acquisition Loan Aud and 
Japan Acquisition Loan Yen debt facility. The 
hedge strategy is to designate the interest rate 
swap as a hedge against the variability in the 
cashflow arising from future changes in interest 
rates. This is a Cash Flow Hedge.

Net investment hedge
The Consolidated entity designated the Euro 
loan as a hedge of a net investment in foreign 
operations from the 10 December 2012. Spot rate 
changes of $275 thousand in respect of the net 
assets of European operations were recognised 
in equity for the Consolidated entity and the 
company from the 1 July 2013 to the reporting 
date. For further details refer to note 3.24.

The Consolidated entity designated the 
Japan Acquisition Loan Yen as a hedge of 
a net investment in foreign operations. The 
Consolidated entity’s presentation currency is 
AUD and foreign currency risk arises from net 
investments in foreign operations. The strategy 
is to hedge the foreign currency translation 
risk arising on the net investment in its foreign 
operations. This is a net investment hedge.

The Consolidated entity uses a cross currency 
interest rate swap to hedge the foreign currency 
translation risk arising on the net investment in 
its foreign operations. There is foreign currency 
risk arising between the functional currency 
of the foreign operation and the presentation 
currency of the Consolidated entity. This is a net 
investment hedge.

34.6 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, Europe and Japan. The operations and 
revenues of these businesses are predominantly 
transacted in New Zealand dollars, Euros and 
Yen respectively. DPE Limited intends to mitigate 
its foreign currency translation risk exposure 
by denominating a portion of its senior debt in 
Euros and Yen. 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 Consolidated entity undertakes certain 
transactions denominated in foreign currencies, 
hence exposures to exchange rate fluctuations 
arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed 
within approved policy parameters. The 
Consolidated entity has designated cash flow 
and net investment hedges are noted above to 
mitigate these risks.

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

Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables
Loan receivables
Trade and other payables

34.6.1  Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
The Consolidated entity is mainly exposed to 
Euros and Japanese Yen.

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.  At balance date, all hedges were 
considered effective. 

For the Consolidated entity, 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 
with Europe and Japan where any exchange 
gains and losses on translation of the foreign 
denominated loans 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 foreign net assets, including 
any intercompany loans. Exchange differences 
on the excess between the loans and net assets, 
including any intercompany loans payable, 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 re-measurement 
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/(losses) after tax 
of $1,760 thousand (2013: $38 thousand) on 
the hedging instruments were taken directly to 
equity in the consolidated balance sheet.

The following details the Consolidated entity’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.

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

34.7 Interest rate risk management
The Consolidated entity is exposed to interest 
rate risk because entities in the Consolidated 
entity borrow funds at both fixed and floating 
interest rates. The risk is managed by 
the Consolidated entity by maintaining an 
appropriate mix between fixed and floating 
rate borrowings, and by the use of interest rate 
swap. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly 
to align with interest rate views and defined 
risk appetite, ensuring the most cost-effective 
hedging strategies are applied.

34.7.1  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 Consolidated 
entity’s net profit would increase by $366 
thousand and decrease by $257 thousand 
(2013: increase by $52 thousand and decrease 
by $237 thousand). This is mainly attributable 
to the Consolidated entity’s exposure to interest 
rates on its variable rate borrowings.

73

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED34.7.2  Interest rate swap contracts
Under interest rate swap contracts, the Consolidated entity agrees to exchange the difference between fixed and floating rate interest amounts calculated 
on agreed notional principal amounts. Such contracts enable the Consolidated entity to mitigate the risk of changing interest rates on the fair value of 
issued fixed rate debt and the cash flow exposures on the issued variable rate debt. The fair value of interest rate swaps at the end of the reporting period 
is determined by discounting the future cash flows using the curves at the end of the reporting period and the credit risk inherent in the contract, and is 
disclosed below. The average interest rate is based on the outstanding balances at the end of the reporting period.

The following tables detail the notional principal amounts and remaining terms of interest rate swap contracts outstanding at the end of the reporting 
period.

The interest rate swaps settle on a quarterly basis. The floating rate on the interest rate swaps is the local interbank rate of Australia. The Consolidated 
entity will settle the difference between the fixed and floating interest rate on a net basis. Refer to note 34.9.1 for the current and non-current split.

All interest rate swap contracts exchanging floating rate interest amounts for fixed rate interest amounts are designated as cash flow hedges in order to 
reduce the Consolidated entity’s cash flow exposure resulting from variable interest rates on borrowings. The interest rate swaps and the interest payments 
on the loan occur simultaneously and the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss over the period that the floating rate interest 
payments on debt affect profit or loss.

34.7.3  Cross currency interest rate swap contract
Under a cross currency interest rate swap contract, the Consolidated entity agrees to exchange the difference between fixed and floating rate interest and 
foreign currency amounts calculated on agreed notional principal amounts. Such contracts enable the Consolidated entity to mitigate the risk of changing 
interest and foreign exchange rates on the fair value of issued fixed rate debt and the cash flow exposures on the issued variable rate debt. The fair value of 
swap at the end of the reporting period is determined by discounting the future cash flows using the curves at the end of the reporting period and the credit 
risk inherent in the contract, and is disclosed below. The average interest rate is based on the outstanding balances at the end of the reporting period.

The swap in existence has a fixed rate of 1.73% on a notional value of $50,776 thousand and has a fair value of $4,127 thousand at balance date. The 
swap settles on a quarterly basis. The swaps and the interest payments on the loan occur simultaneously and the amount accumulated in equity is 
reclassified to profit or loss over the period that the floating rate interest payments on debt affect profit or loss.

34.8  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 Consolidated 
entity. The Consolidated entity 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 Consolidated entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral 
obtained:

The Consolidated entity 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 Consolidated entity’s policy in this regard is to predominantly support internal candidates who have displayed strong 
operational expertise. Further, the Consolidated entity 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 Consolidated entity’s policy is to purchase and operate the failed store as a 
corporate store. 

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

74

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  CONTINUED34.9 Liquidity risk management
The Consolidated entity 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. Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk 
management rests with the board of directors, which has established in an appropriate liquidity management framework for the management of the 
Consolidated entity’s short medium and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. Included in note 34.9.2 is a listing of additional 
undrawn facilities that the Consolidated entity has at its disposal to further reduce liquidity risk.

34.9.1  Liquidity and interest risk tables
The following tables detail the Consolidated entity’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 Consolidated entity can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

The shorter the time 
period, the lower the 
fair value.

Management consider that the financial instruments previously disclosed are classified as Level 2, and there have been no transfers between Level 1 
and Level 2. The put option was previously recognised as Level 2 and has been transferred to Level 3. The fair values of the financial assets and financial 
liabilities included in the level 2 and 3 category above has been determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on a discounted 
cash flow analysis, with the most significant inputs being the discount rate that reflects the credit risk of counterparties.

The only financial liabilities subsequently measured at fair value on Level 3 fair value measurement represent the fair value of the put option liability relating 
to the acquisition of Domino’s Pizza Japan (see note 46). No gain or loss for the year relating to this contingent consideration has been recognised in profit 
or loss. The opening balance for this put option liability was $45.3m and has a value at year end of $49.2m with the movement recorded in other reserves. 
No reasonable change in the key inputs would result in a material change of this value.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED35.  SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
35.1  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.

35.2 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 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.

The following share-based payment arrangements were in existence during the current and comparative reporting period:

35.3 Fair value of share options granted in the year
The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the 2014 year is $14.40 (2013: $1.17). Options were priced using a binominal option pricing 
model. Where relevant, 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 conditions. Expected volatility is based on the historical share price volatility since listing on 16 May 2005.

The remuneration of directors and key executives is determined by the remuneration committee having regard to the performance of individuals and market trends.

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 2014 financial year. Payment of $33,600 (2013: $25,410) 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 ESOP. No other advice

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

included amounts in relation to benefits from expected synergies, revenue growth and future market development. These benefits are not recognised

Other
Set out below are details of significant claims against the Consolidated entity. 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) against subsidiary, Domino’s Pizza France (DPF) (the 
main claim) and seven SRP franchisees against DPF and the relevant DPF franchisees (the local claims). The allegations are that DPF and its franchisees 
breached French laws governing payment time limitations and lending, thereby giving DPF and its franchisees an unfair competitive advantage. SRP 
claimed significant damages for impediment of the development of its franchise network, lost royalty income from SRP franchisees and harm to SRP’s 
image. DPF and its franchisees denied liability and vigorously defended the claims. On 7 July 2014 the Court handed down its decision in the main claim, as 
well as in five of the local claims. All of the claims of SRP and the relevant SRP franchisees were dismissed. SRP has filed an appeal to these decisions but 
it is not known at this time when the appeals will be heard. The two remaining local claims have yet to be heard at first instance.

On 3 September 2013, the Consolidated entity acquired 75% of the issued share capital of DPE Japan Co. Ltd. (DPEJ), obtaining control of Domino’s Pizza 
Japan Inc. (DPJ). DPJ is the Domino’s Pizza Master Franchisee for Japan and is the third largest pizza delivery chain in Japan. This is expected to provide 
the Consolidated entity with substantial growth into the future. The remaining 25% of DPEJ is owned by Bain Capital Domino’s Hong Kong Limited and is 
subject to a put and call option. The acquisition was funded through both debt and capital raising.

The amounts recognised in respect of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as set out in the table below.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  CONTINUED47.   APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL 

STATEMENTS

The financial statements were approved by the 
Board of directors and authorised for issue on 11 
August 2014.

Impact of acquisition on the results on the 
Consolidated entity
For DPJ’s contribution to the revenue and profit 
of the Consolidated entity, please refer to note 6.

If the acquisition of DPJ had been completed 
on the first day of the financial period, 
the Consolidated entity revenues for the 
period would have been $635.7 million and 
Consolidated entity profit would have been 
$46.8 million. The subsidiary itself would have 
had revenue of $288 million and a profit of 
$11.4 million (including the acquisition costs as 
referred to previously). 

The directors of the Consolidated entity 
consider these ‘pro-forma’ numbers to 
represent an approximate measure of the 
performance of the combined Consolidated 
entity on a full-year basis and to provide 
a reference point for comparison in future 
periods. Some of the assumptions used in 
determining these numbers are:

• Results for the period before acquisition are 

based on actual results;

• Borrowing costs are based on the funding 

levels, credit ratings and debt/equity position 
of the Consolidated entity after the business 
combination; and

• Depreciation and amortisation costs are 

based on the Consolidated entity methodology 
after the business combination.

The initial accounting for the acquisition of 
DPEJ has only been provisionally determined 
at the end of the reporting period, with the 
intangible assets to be confirmed. At the date 
of finalisation of these consolidated financial 
statements, the necessary market valuations 
and other calculations had not been finalised 
and have therefore only been provisionally 
determined based on the directors’ best 
estimate of the likely fair values.

Acquisition-related costs to date amount to 
$2.6 million and have been included as an 
expense in profit or loss in the full-year within 
the acquisition and integration related costs. 
In the prior year, $1.4 million was expensed in 
relation to acquisition costs, to total $4.0 million. 
The borrowing costs to date (including prior 
year) related to the debt raising totals to $1.1 
million and costs associated with equity raising 
totals $4.6 million. The acquisition-related costs 
for this period have been included in the Japan 
segment in note 6.

The fair value of receivables is the same 
as the carrying amount, and there were no 
uncollectible amounts recorded.

Goodwill arising on acquisition
The residual goodwill of $237.8 million is based 
on the fair value of the identifiable intangible 
assets and other assets and liabilities, and 
consists of the workforce, established network 
and network projected growth. None of the 
goodwill is expected to be deductible for 
income tax purposes. The investment in DPEJ 
is recorded in a foreign currency (Yen) and 
translated at closing foreign exchange rates 
each reporting period.

Non-Controlling Interest
The non-controlling interest (25%) in DPEJ at 
the acquisition date was measured by reference 
to the fair value amount of the non-controlling 
interest (NCI) invested in the company (DPEJ 
is a newly formed entity), which amounted to 
$45.3 million. The NCI is subject to a put and 
call option, in which Bain Capital Domino’s Hong 
Kong Limited are able to exercise its put option 
after a minimum of 3 years, and DPE is able 
to exercise its call option after a minimum of 5 
years. A liability of $49.2 million is recognised in 
other non-current liabilities for this put option. 
It has been valued by estimating the future put 
obligation. Refer to note 34.10 on the put option 
over non-controlling interest liability valuation 
technique.
