authority to the Group Chief Executive Officer 
and, through the Group Chief Executive Officer,  
to management of the Company. 

Management
Management is specifically responsible for:

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. 

ROLES OF THE BOARD, MANAGEMENT 
AND COMPANY SECRETARY
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

increase shareholder wealth by:

the Company’s strategic objectives;
• approving the annual operating budget;
• appointing the chair a deputy chair (or a senior 

independent director);

stakeholders.

Board and Committee Meetings

BOARD SKILLS MATRIX
Collectively, the Board has an extensive range of 
commercial skills and other relevant experience 
which are vital for the effective management 
of the business. Board members, including 
some who are also directors of other ASX-listed 
companies, together have a combination of 
experience in the following areas:

• retail and food sectors
• corporate and business strategy
• business growth and development, both 

organically and by acquisition

• international business
• product development, sales and marketing
• corporate governance and executive 

leadership 

• corporate finance 

The Board considers that its current members 
have an appropriate mix of skills that enable the 
Board to discharge its responsibilities and deliver 
the Company’s strategy and corporate objectives.

8

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.  The Company will 
undertake appropriate checks before appointing 
a person, or putting forward to security holders a 
candidate for election, as a director and provide 
security holders with all material information in 
its possession relevant to a decision on whether 
or not to elect or re-elect a director. 

The Board has a program for inducting new 
directors and provides appropriate professional 
development opportunities for directors to 
develop and maintain the skills and knowledge 
needed to perform their role as directors 
effectively.

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

• one non-executive director (Chairman); one 
executive director (Managing Director); and

• four independent non-executive directors.

The qualifications, skills, experience and dates of 
appointment of each Board member are detailed 
on the Corporate Directory page of the Annual 
Report. The compensation paid to DPE Limited’s 
directors for the year ended 03 July 2016 is set 
out in the Remuneration Report on pages 18 to 27.

Independence of Directors 
The Board has adopted a definition of 
independence based on that set out in Box 2.3 
of the ASX Principles.
The Board comprises a majority of independent 
non-executive directors who 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 Nominations and Remuneration Committee 
will assess annually the ‘independence’ of each 
director in light of the ASX Principles. 
The Board is cognisant of the need to monitor 
the effect of length of tenure on a director’s 
actual or perceived independence. However, the 
Board does not believe that it should establish an 
arbitrary limit on tenure.
In assessing the independence of Mr Ross 
Adler, Mr Paul Cave and Mr Grant Bourke, the 
Board (without any of those directors present) 
considered whether their tenure had impacted 
on their independence.  It was determined that 
each of those directors remained able to bring 
an independent mind to bear on issues before 
the Board and to act in the best interests of the 
Company and its shareholders generally. The 
valuable contribution of each director based on 
their expertise, judgement, industry knowledge and 
understanding of the Company’s operations was 
also noted and considered a significant asset of the 
Board.  Accordingly, each of Messrs Adler, Cave 
and Bourke have been assessed as independent.
Mr Jack 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.
The Board has appointed independent director, 
Mr Ross Adler, as the Deputy Chairman, who 
can fulfil the role of chairman whenever Mr 
Cowin is conflicted.

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDCORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT  continued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 a Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee, which comprises 
each of the directors except the Managing 
Director. The majority of the Committee are 
independent directors.

Committee Charter
The Committee has a Charter to govern its 
operations – see http://www.dominos.com.au/
corporate/investors. The Charter is reviewed 
every two years, and, if appropriate, updated 
by the Board on recommendation from the 
Committee. 

Membership of the Committee
Committee members are appointed by the Board. 
The members of the Committee are Messrs 
Cowin, Adler, Cave, Bourke and Ms O’Grady. 
The chair is held by Mr Bourke, an independent 
director. Details of the qualifications and 
experience of the members and their attendance 
at Committee meetings during the reporting 
period are detailed in the Directors’ Report and 
Corporate Directory.

Purpose of the Committee
The purpose of the committee is to review, 
evaluate and make recommendations to the 
Board in relation to the selection, appointment 
and remuneration practices of the Company.

Duties and Responsibilities of the Committee
The principal responsibilities of the Committee 
are:

In relation to nominations:

• Board succession planning generally
• induction and continuing professional 

development

• development and implementation of a process 
for evaluating the performance of the board, 
its committee and directors

• the process of recruiting a new director

senior executive

director’s fees approved by security holders is 
allocated to directors

• The remuneration packages to be awarded to 

senior executive and other employees

• Equity-based remuneration plans for senior 

executive and other employees

• Superannuation arrangements for directors, 

senior executives and other employees

• Whether there is any gender or other 

inappropriate bias in remuneration for directors, 
senior executives or other employees.

Each member of the Committee has the right 
to seek advice from external consultants or 
specialists.

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.

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’S ACCESS TO INFORMATION
All Directors have unrestricted access to the 
Company Secretary. Directors may meet 
independently with management at any time to 
discuss areas of interest or concern.

Agendas for Board meetings include all matters 
operational, financial, strategic and compliance 
which are important to DPE Limited. Whilst 
most agenda items have a degree of detail 
and background information included in the 
pre-meeting papers, a few items may be listed 
on the agenda as discussion points. Papers 
are distributed to Board members in a timely 
manner prior to each meeting of the Board. 
The minutes of each meeting of the Board

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

The key aspects of the policy are:

• trading whilst in the possession of material 
price-sensitive information is prohibited;
• trading is permitted without approval in the 

three-week period after the release to the ASX 
of the half-yearly and annual results, the end 
of the AGM or at any time the Company has 
a prospectus open, but only if they have no 
inside information and the trading is not for 
short-term or speculative gain; and
• trading in other circumstances is only 

permitted if the person is personally satisfied 
that they are not in possession of inside 
information and they have obtained approval. 
Permission will be given for such trading only 
if the approving person is satisfied that the 
transaction would not be contrary to law, 
for speculative gain or to take advantage of 
inside information.

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

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

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

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

• ensure that employees, consultants, 

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

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

Disclosure principle
In order to ensure DPE Limited meets its 
obligations of timely disclosure of such information,

information is not required to be disclosed in 
accordance with the exception provisions of 
the ASX Listing Rules.

employees who have been authorised by the 
Chairman or Group 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

RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY 
The Board adopts a framework for risk 
management which recognises that the Company

demand that the Company take certain usual 
business, entrepreneurial and operational 
risks. Accordingly, and in the interests of the 
enhanced performance of the Company, the 
Board embraces a responsible approach to risk 
management, as a risk-aware Company, but not 
necessarily a risk-averse one.

Specifically in managing risk, the Company and 
the Board adopts a framework which adheres 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 Group 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 Group CEO 
and the Group 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 and as such has been undertaken 
during this reporting period.

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

The Board has received formal assurance from the 
Group CEO and the Group CFO in the declaration 
provided in accordance with section 295A of the 
Corporations Act that the financial statements give 
a true and fair view of the financial position and 
performance of the Company.

2016 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 03 July 2016 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.

Consolidated entity:
The Consolidated entity achieved a statutory 
profit after tax (NPAT) of $86.6 million for the year 
ending 03 July 2016 which represents growth 
from the prior year of 26.6%. This result was 
primarily driven by continued strong sales and 
new store openings across all regions. Same store 
sales (SSS) grew by 14.8% in ANZ and 8.2% in 
Europe (EU). Japan had a negative 2.1% SSS.

In ANZ, this is mainly due to effective marketing, 
new technologies and digital innovation. In 
EU, the growth is attributable to continued 
economies of scales, targeted promotional 
marketing and integration of quicker and easier 
order platforms. Japan profitability was resilient, 
despite the challenging economic environment. 

The Consolidated entity’s NPAT was impacted by 
one-off significant charges totalling $12.7 million, 
pre-tax, relating to the acquisition of Joey’s 
Pizza, Domino’s Germany and Pizza Sprint, as 
well as one-off redundancy costs incurred as a 
result of relocating the Paris Commissary.

Cash flows from operating activities have 
increased by $22.4m or 21.2% from FY15, due 
to increased revenue across all regions. 182 
new stores were opened during year in existing 
regions and an additional 302 where acquired 
through the successful acquisition of Joey’s 
Pizza, Domino’s Germany and Pizza Sprint. This 
has resulted in a total network store count of 714 
in ANZ, 816 in Europe and 453 in Japan as at 03 
July 2016 (including 7 store closures).

Australia and New Zealand:
ANZ achieved EBITDA of $91.6 million which 
represents an increase of 27.9% from prior year. 
Revenue increased by 23.6% which was driven 
by SSS growth of 14.8% for the year. Highlights 
for the ANZ market, included operational 
initiatives that focussed on preparation and 
delivery time through the Company’s pursuit 
of project 3-10 (pick up order completed in 5 
minutes and delivery in under 10 minutes) to 
provide a hotter-fresher pizza to customers. 

There was an increased focus on product, 
including the successful campaign “More Than 
Just Pizza”, reminding customers of the wider 
range of products and technology offered. 

Digital innovation included launching DPE’s first 
ever technology series “Abacus” to showcase 
our digital development. Other digital innovations 
included launching “On-time Cooking”, which 
enables our pick-up customers to always receive 
hotter, fresher, pizzas. The new 15/20-minute 
service guarantee technology was developed to 
offer customers faster and safer deliveries. 

ANZ unveiled DRU (Domino’s robotic unit) during 
the year, undertaking customer trials to make 
improvements and working with relevant regulators. 

ANZ opened 49 new stores in the ANZ network and 
achieved record sales weeks across 576 stores.

Europe
Europe EBITDA increased by 53.5% and revenue 
increased by 52.4%, compared with FY15, while 
underlying EBITDA increased by 122.8%. This 
was driven by strong SSS of 8.2% for the year, the 
opening of 64 new organic stores, 302 acquired 
stores and continuing economies of scale, as the 
Company’s footprint into Europe expands. 

Online sales continue to break records in all 
three countries, with the Netherlands achieving 
73% of sales from online sale orders. The record 
online sale orders were achieved through the 
use of targeted online specific promotions, the 
introduction of Domino’s Live Pizza Tracker via 
the Apple Watch and the launch of OneDigital in 
the Netherlands. The Netherlands implemented 
the GPS Driver Tracker and new digital payment 
methods offered to customers.

Further contributors to the strong SSS include 
product innovations such as specialty pizzas 
and a wider range of chicken and desserts being 
offered in the acquired German Stores.

Japan
Japan EBITDA increased by 25.5% and 
revenue rose by 27.7%, compared with FY15. 
Contributing towards the increase in revenue 
were the opening of 69 new store as well as 
the benefit from a stronger exchange rate. 
Franchised stores now comprise 29% of the 
network, up from 17% at the time of the DPE 
acquisition (September 2013) and 26% at the 
end of FY15. Stores were opened in five new 
markets during the fiscal year and continue to 
relocate stores to pick-up friendly locations and 
remodel existing stores, which further assisted in 
profit growth. 
This year Japan saw the highest carry-out sales 
percentage in DPJ history and the launch of the 
new Mugen 3.0 store design, featuring a face-to 
face transparent makeline rolled out across 73 
stores to date.

Changes in state of affairs
On 26 January 2016, the Consolidated entity 
acquired 100% interest of Sprint Pizza. Pizza 
Sprint is a chain of 89 pizza stores in France, 
comprising 12 corporate stores and 77 franchise 
stores. This acquisition is expected to reinforce 
DPE’s position as the largest pizza chain in the 
French market. 
On 2 February 2016, the Consolidated entity 
through its 66.7% controlled joint venture 
company Daytona JV (UK) Limited (Daytona) 
acquired 100% of the issued share capital of 
interest in Joey’s Pizza (Joey’s Pizza). Joey’s

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT   continuedFuture developments
In ANZ, we will be unveiling our biggest menu launch since 2008 and driving product innovation through the introduction of new food categories and delivering 
a menu, free of preservatives and artificial colouring. Further development of DRU (Domino’s automated robotic unit) and the launch of “Zero Click” ordering 
will continue to drive our digital innovation allowing for continued focus on maximising online sales and sustained increase in our network of stores. 

We have upgraded our future store network guidance in ANZ to 1,200 stores by 2025, up from 900, on the basis of continued demand. 

In Europe, we will continue to focus on delivering a number of new initiatives that have been put in place to optimise logistics and drive operational efficiencies. 
The logistics optimization will include the opening of the new Paris (France) commissary and is expected to be the most automated Domino’s commissary 
in the world, yielding substantial cost savings through production benefits. Operational efficiencies include the continuing rollout of the global point of sale 
(“POS”) and “One Digital” online ordering systems in France. The GPS Driver Tracker will be fully rolled out in the Netherlands and we are expecting record 
organic new store growth in the FY17 year. 

Joey’s stores will be fully converted to Domino’s by the end of the first half of the financial year and integration of OneDigital, Pizza Tracker, Apps and other 
DPE innovation are being rolled out in Germany. Pizza Sprint stores will be fully converted to Domino’s by the end of the financial year. Converted stores are 
trading well above expectations and Online Order % post conversion has increased significantly. Pizza Sprint is transitioning to PULSE and leveraging DPE 
technology. DPE expects significant economic benefits in the future from the acquisitions, leveraging the operational and management expertise of DPE in the 
Netherlands, Belgium and France as well as facilities in these existing territories.

In Japan, the key areas of focus in FY17 will be the continuation of new store rollouts. Stores will also be relocated to pick up friendly locations and the new 
Point of sale (POS) system will be rolled out. “One Digital” online ordering system will be rolled out within FY17 and we will continue to seek further expansion 
opportunities into new regional markets in FY17.

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDDIRECTORS’ REPORT  continuedIndemnification of officers and auditors
The Company has entered into deeds of indemnity, insurance and access with each director. To the extent permitted by law and subject to the restrictions in 
s.199A of the Corporations Act 2001, the Company must continuously indemnify each director against liability (including liability for costs and expenses) for 
an act or omission in the capacity of director. However, this does not apply in respect of any of the following:

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

which the officer is not acquitted; or

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

connection with the proceedings referred to above.

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

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

The Company has not otherwise, during or since the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of the Company or of any related 
body corporate against a liability incurred as such an officer or auditor. The directors have not included details of the nature of the liabilities covered or the 
amount of the premium paid in respect of the directors’ and officers’ liability and legal expenses insurance contract as such disclosure is prohibited under the 
terms of the contract.

Directors’ meetings
The following table sets out the number of directors’ meetings (including meetings of committees of directors) held during the financial year and the number 
of meetings attended by each director (while they were a director or committee member). During the financial year, ten board meetings, seven nomination 
and remuneration committee meetings and eight audit committee meetings were held.

Non-audit services
Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor are outlined in note 43 to the financial 
statements. The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services, during the year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor’s 
behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence of auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 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 30 of the Annual Report.

Rounding off of amounts
The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Report) Instrument 2016/191, dated  
24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument amounts in the financial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, 
unless otherwise indicated.

Remuneration Policy
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. 

The Board has a Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee. Information about this Committee is 
set out on page 9. 

Non-executive director remuneration
Non-executive directors are remunerated by way 
of cash fees and superannuation contributions. 
The level of directors fees should reflect the time 
commitment and responsibilities of the role and 
market standards. During the reporting period, 
non-executive directors did not receive any 
performance based remuneration or equity-
based remuneration. Non-executive directors are 
not entitled to receive any termination payments 
on ceasing to be a director.

Executive remuneration
The Board of Directors (“The Board”), 
in conjunction with its Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee, is responsible for 
approving the performance objectives and 
measures for the Group 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 Group 
CEO. The Managing Director / Group CEO is 
responsible for making recommendations on 
compensation packages applicable to the other 
key management personnel of the Company. 

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. Executives may receive bonuses 
on the achievement of specific goals related 
to the performance of the Company (including 
operational results). 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. 

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 for the 2016 
financial year. Payment of $36,960 (2015: 
$38,220) 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 remuneration 
consultant is not a related party to any member 
of the key management personnel. As such, the 
Committee 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.

18

2016 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/Group 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. All roles are benchmarked 
against comparable market data.

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 employee share 
options plan (“ESOP”). The quantum of STI is set 
as a maximum amount by the Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee on a yearly basis.

Short-term incentive bonus
Each year the Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee sets the key performance indicators 
(“KPI’s”) for the Managing Director/Group 
CEO and the Managing Director/Group CEO 
proposes 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”), 
Earnings before Interest and Tax (“EBIT”) in local 
currencies, “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.

The below provides the structure of the short 
term incentive plan for the Managing Director / 
Group CEO:

• Group NPAT – budgeted and stretch targets $
• Australia and New Zealand budgeted EBIT $
• Europe budgeted EBIT €
• Japan budgeted EBIT ¥
• New store openings – Group target

At the end of the financial year the Nomination 
and Remuneration Committee and Managing 
Director/Group CEO assess the audited 
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.

Long-term incentive
Options are issued under the ESOP, and it 
provides for key management personnel to 
receive a number of options, as determined by 
the Board, over ordinary shares. Options issued 
under the ESOP will be subject to performance 
conditions that are detailed on page 22-23.

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.

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.

2016 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, 15 August 2016 

Don Meij 
Managing Director/ Group Chief Executive Officer 
Sydney, 15 August 2016

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 $1,000,000 
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 $100,000 per 
director per annum (2015:  $80,000), Chairman 
of the Board was $250,000 per annum (2015: 
$160,000) and $160,000 per annum for the 
Deputy Chairman, who is also the Chairman of 
the Audit Committee.

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/Group 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/
Group CEO and provides that the Board and 
Managing Director/Group 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  
3 July 2016, 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 34 to 94.

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  Amendments to AASBs and the new Interpretation that are mandatorily effective for the current year
In the current year, the Consolidated entity has applied a number of amendments to AASBs and a new Interpretation issued by the Australian Accounting 
Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatorily effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 July 2015, and therefore relevant for the current 
year end.

Standards affecting presentation and disclosure

AASB 2015-3 ‘Amendments to 
Australian Accounting Standards 
arising from the Withdrawal of  
AASB 1031 Materiality’

This amendment completes the withdrawal of references to AASB 1031 in all Australian Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations, allowing that Standard to effectively be withdrawn.

AASB 2015-4 ‘Amendments to 
Accounting Standards – Financial 
reporting Requirements for Australian 
Groups with a Foreign Parent’

The amendments to AASB 128 align the relief available in AASB 10 and AASB128 in respect of the financial reporting 
requirements for Australian groups with a foreign parent. The amendments require that the ultimate Australian entity 
shall apply the equity method in accounting for interests in associates and joint ventures if either the entity or the 
group is a reporting entity, or both the entity and group are reporting entities.

The application of these amendments does not have any material impact any material impact on the disclosures or the amounts recognised in the 
Consolidated entity financial statements.

There is no impact on basic and diluted earnings per share as a result of the application of the new and revised Standards.

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    continued3. 

 SIGNIFICANT  
ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.1  Statement of compliance
These financial statements are general purpose 
financial statements which have been prepared 
in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and 
comply with other requirements of the law. The 
financial statements comprise the consolidated 
financial statements of the Consolidated entity for 
the 53-week period ended 03 July 2016. 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 15 August 2016.

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 Corporations (Rounding in Financial/
Directors’ Report) Instrument 2016/191, dated 
24 March 2016, and in accordance with that 
Corporations Instrument amounts in the financial 
report are rounded off to the nearest thousand 
dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

Basis of going concern
The financial statements have been prepared 
on the basis that the Consolidated entity 
will continue as a going concern. The 
Consolidated entity has a net current liability 
position of $78.5 million at 03 July 2016 
(2015: $14.6 million) which is primarily due 
to the Japan non-controlling interest put / 
call liability of $43.7 million being classified 
as current and a short term working capital 
facility of $28.7 million being drawn as 
at 03 July 2016. The Consolidated entity 
will extend existing debt facilities and / or 
enter into new debt facilities to extinguish 
these liability as and when they fall due. 

The directors are of the opinion that no material 
uncertainties exist in relation to events or 
conditions which cast doubt on the Consolidated 
entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

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.

When the Company has less than a majority of 
the voting rights of an investee, it has power 
over the investee when the voting rights are 
sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct 
the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. 
The Company considers all relevant facts and 
circumstances in assessing whether or not 
the Company’s voting rights in an investee are 
sufficient to give it power, including:

• the size of the Company’s holding of voting 
rights relative to the size and dispersion of 
holdings of the other vote holders;

• potential voting rights held by the Company, 

other vote holders or other parties;
• rights arising from other contractual 

arrangements; and

• any additional facts and circumstances that 
indicate that the Company has, or does not 
have, the current ability to direct the relevant 
activities at the time that decisions need to be 
made, including voting patterns at previous 
shareholders’ meetings.

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. 

40

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   continued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, 
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 groups) that are  

classified as held for sale in accordance with 
AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and 
Discontinued Operations are measured in 
accordance with that Standard.
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.

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.

41

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    continuedIn preparing the financial statements of the 
individual entities, transactions in currencies 
other than the entity’s functional currency 
(foreign currencies) are recognised at the 
rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of 
the transactions. At the end of each reporting 
period, monetary items denominated in foreign 
currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing 
at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair 
value that are denominated in foreign currencies 
are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the 
date when the fair value was determined. Non-
monetary items that are measured in terms 
of historical cost in a foreign currency are not 
retranslated.

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

• exchange differences on 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.

3.5 
Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the 
Consolidated entity has significant influence. 
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 and adjusted 
for post-acquisition changes in the Consolidated 
entity’s share of associate. When losses of an 
associate exceeds 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), the Consolidated entity discontinues 
recognising its share of further losses. Additional 
losses are recognised only to the extent that 
the Consolidated entity’s has incurred legal or 
constructive obligations or made payments on 
behalf of the associate or joint venture.

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.

42

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   continued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.

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. 

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 profit and loss and other 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.

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.

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    continued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.

44

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

3.12.1 Effective interest method

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

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

3.12.2 Financial assets at FVTPL

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

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:

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

• on initial recognition it is a part of an identified 

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

• it is a derivative that is not designated and 

effective as a hedging instrument.

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

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

• the financial asset forms part of a 

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.

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.

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   continued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.

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 reclassified 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.

45

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    continued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 periods. 

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  2 – 10 years
2 – 10 years
• Licenses  

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.

3.17  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 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.

46

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   continued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. Refer to note 19 for 
our detailed assessment of impairment.

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.

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. 

47

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    continued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.

3.24 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. 

48

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   continued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 instruments 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.

3.26 Investment in Joint Ventures
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby 
the parties that have joint control of the 
arrangement have rights to the net assets 
of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the 
contractually agreed sharing of control of an 
arrangement, which exists only when decisions 
about the relevant activities require unanimous 
consent of the parties sharing control.

The results, assets and liabilities of the joint 
ventures are incorporated in these consolidated 
financial statements using the equity method 
of accounting, except when the investment, or 
a portion thereof, 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, an investment in a joint venture is 
initially recognised in the consolidated statement 
of financial position at cost and adjusted 
thereafter to recognise the Consolidated 
entity’s share of the profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income of the joint venture. When 
the Consolidated entity’s share of losses of a 
joint venture exceeds the Consolidated entity’s 
interest in that joint venture (which includes 
any long-term interests that, in substance, form 
part of the Consolidated entity ‘s net investment 
in the joint venture), the Consolidated entity 
discontinues recognising its share of further 
losses. Additional losses are recognised only 
to the extent that the Consolidated entity has 
incurred legal or constructive obligations or made 
payments on behalf of the joint venture.

An investment in a joint venture is accounted 
for using the equity method from the date on 
which the investee becomes a joint venture. On 
acquisition of the investment in a joint venture, 
any excess of the cost of the investment over 
the Consolidated entity’s share of the net fair 
value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of 
the investee is recognised as goodwill, which 
is included within the carrying amount of the 
investment. Any excess of the Consolidated 
entity’s share of the net fair value of the 
identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost 
of the investment, after reassessment, is 
recognised immediately in profit or loss in the 
period in which the investment is acquired.

49

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    continuedThe requirements of AASB 139 are applied 
to determine whether it is necessary to 
recognise any impairment loss with respect to 
the Consolidated entity’s investment in a joint 
venture. When necessary, the entire carrying 
amount of the investment (including goodwill) 
is tested for impairment in accordance with 
AASB 136 as a single asset by comparing its 
recoverable amount (higher of value in use and 
fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying 
amount, Any impairment loss recognised forms 
part of the carrying amount of the investment. 
Any reversal of that impairment loss is 
recognised in accordance with AASB 136 to 
the extent that the recoverable amount of the 
investment subsequently increases.

The Consolidated entity discontinues the use 
of the equity method from the date when the 
investment ceases to be a joint venture, or when 
the investment is classified as held for sale. 
When the Consolidated entity retains an interest 
in the former joint venture and the retained 
interest is a financial asset, the Consolidated 
entity measures the retained interest at fair value 
at that date and the fair value is regarded as its 
fair value on initial recognition in accordance with 
AASB 139. The difference between the carrying 
amount of the joint venture at the date the equity 
method was discontinued, and the fair value 
of any retained interest and any proceeds from 
disposing of a part interest in the joint venture 
is included in the determination of the gain or 
loss on disposal of the joint venture. In addition, 
the Consolidated entity accounts for all amounts 
previously recognised in other comprehensive 
income in relation to that joint venture on the 
same basis as would be required if that joint 
venture had directly disposed of the related 
assets or liabilities. Therefore, if a gain or loss 
previously recognised in other comprehensive 
income by that joint venture would be reclassified 
to profit or loss on the disposal of the related 
assets or liabilities, the Consolidated entity 
reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit 
or loss (as a reclassification adjustment) when 
the equity method is discontinued.

The Consolidated entity continues to use the 
equity method when an investment in an 
associate becomes an investment in a joint 
venture or an investment in a joint venture 
becomes an investment in an associate. There 
is no remeasurement to fair value upon such 
changes in ownership interests. 

When the Consolidated entity reduces its 
ownership interest in joint venture but the 
Consolidated entity continues to use the equity 
method, the Consolidated entity reclassifies to 
profit or loss the proportion of the gain or loss 
that had previously been recognised in other 
comprehensive income relating to that reduction 
in ownership interest if that gain or loss would be 
reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the 
related assets or liabilities.

When a Consolidated entity transacts with a joint 
venture of the group, profits and losses resulting 
from the transactions with the joint venture 
are recognised in the Consolidated entity’s 
consolidated financial statements only to the 
extent of interests in the joint venture that are not 
related to the group.

3.27 Comparative information

Comparative amounts have, where necessary, 
been reclassified so as to be consistent with 
current year disclosures.

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 non-financial assets 
(including goodwill and indefinite life assets)

Impairment exists when the carrying value of 
an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its 
recoverable amount, which is the higher of its 
fair value less costs of disposal and its value 
in use. The fair value less costs of disposal 
calculation is based on available data from 
binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s 
length, for similar assets or observable market 
prices less incremental costs for disposing of the 
asset. The value in use calculation is based on 
a discounted cash flow model. The cash flows 
are derived from the budget for the next 5 years 
and do not include restructuring activities that 
the Consolidated entity is not yet committed 
to or significant future investments that will 
enhance the asset’s performance of the CGU 
being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive 
to the discount rate used for the DCF model 
as well as the expected future cash-inflows 
and the growth rate used for extrapolation 
purposes. These estimates are most relevant 
to goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite 
useful lives recognised. The key assumptions 
used to determine the recoverable amount for 
the different CGUs are disclosed and further 
explained in Note 19.

At the end of each reporting period, the Group 
reviews the carrying value of its tangible and 
intangible assets to determine whether there is 
any indication that those assets have suffered an 
impairment loss. Determining whether goodwill 
and indefinite life assets are impaired requires 
an estimation of the value in use as well as fair 
value less costs to sell of the cash-generating 
units to which the assets relate. 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 and indefinite 
life assets at the end of the reporting period 
was $407,716 thousand and $97,083 thousand 
respectively. Refer to note 19 and 20 for 
further details.

50

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   continued4.1.7  Put Option Liabilities
The put option associated with Domino’s Pizza 
Japan and Domino’s Pizza Germany (refer to 
note 46) liabilities are 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 and Germany Pizza industries and 
dealings with the sellers of Domino’s Japan and 
Joey’s Pizza.

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, quality of the bonds and the identification 
of outliers which are excluded.

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.

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  Master Franchise Rights & Franchise 
Network Assets acquired in a business 
combination
The Consolidated entity estimates the fair value 
of the Domino’s German Master Franchise 
Rights (MFA) (refer note 20) and the Franchise 
Network Assets (FNAs) acquired in the Joey’s 
Pizza and Pizza Sprint acquisitions (refer note 
46). The Master Franchise Rights are valued 
using the Cost approach taking into account 
forecast EBITDA and a discount rate applied. 
The Franchise Network Assets are valued using 
a Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method income 
approach taking into account forecast revenue 
and EBITDA margin and a discount rate applied.

The fair value of both the MFA and FNAs are 
sensitive to the above noted inputs. 

Management has determined that the MFA 
relating to Domino’s Pizza Germany and the FNAs 
related to Joey’s Pizza and Pizza Sprint are to 
be treated as indefinite life intangible assets. In 
addition, the same treatment has been applied 
to the MFA and associated franchise agreements 
recognised on the acquisition of Domino’s 
Pizza Japan. This judgement is based on the 
sufficiency of available evidence supporting the 
ability of the Consolidated entity to renew the 
underlying agreements beyond their initial terms 
without incurring significant cost.

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

(a)  assessable income is derived of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions to be realised;

(b)  conditions for deductibility imposed by the law are compiled with; and

(c)  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 $85,474 thousand (2015: $49,896 thousand) 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.

11.  PROFIT FOR THE YEAR FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Profit for the year from continuing operations is attributable to:

Profit from continuing operations

Profit for the year from continuing operations was arrived at after charging (crediting):

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 $1,142 thousand (2015: $1,020 thousand), which are 
past due at the reporting date for which the Consolidated entity has not provided as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts 
are still considered recoverable. The Consolidated entity does not hold any collateral over these balances.

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

Included in the allowance for doubtful debts are individually impaired trade receivables with a balance of $2,780 thousand (2015: $3,178 thousand) for the 
Consolidated entity. The impairment recognised represents the difference between the carrying amount of these trade receivables and the present value of 
the expected recoverable proceeds. The Consolidated entity does not hold any collateral over these balances.

 Before providing any new loans to franchisees, the Consolidated entity reviews the potential franchisee’s credit quality, which is determined by reviewing a business plan and the projected future cash 
flows for that store, to ensure the franchisee is able to meet its interest repayments on the loan. On average the interest charged is based on the Westpac Indicator Lending Rate (‘WILR’) plus 3% (2015: 
3%) margin in Australia and New Zealand, the average interest charged in France is 5.5% (2015: 4.1%), in The Netherlands is 7.1% (2015: 9.0%) in Germany is 4.3% and the average interest charged in 
Japan is 5.0% (2015: 5.0%). Included in the Consolidated entity’s balance are loans to franchisees with a carrying amount of $1,445 thousand (2015: $949 thousand), which are past due at reporting date 
and the Consolidated entity has provided for these amounts. The Consolidated entity holds the respective franchisee’s store assets as collateral over these balances.

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    continuedJapanese cash-generating unit
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 cash-generating 
unit is determined based on a fair value less 
costs to sell model which includes future 
cash flows over a 5-year period based on 
management’s expectations on the market 
growth rates and further investment in store 
rollout. A post-tax discount rate of 8.79% has 
been applied and a growth rate of 1.5% has been 
used in determining the terminal value. Based on 
this analysis, no impairment has 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 of the key assumptions would 
not cause the cash-generating unit’s carrying 
amount to exceed its recoverable amount.

19.  GOODWILL (CONTINUED)
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 would not cause the 
cash-generating units carrying amount to exceed 
its recoverable amount. 

NSW, QLD & NT, SA, WA & TAS, VIC and ACT 
cash-generating unit
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 
cash-generating units 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 2017 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 (2015: 4.0% per annum nationally). 
These figures are based on management’s 
estimate of forecast cash flow by store after 
considering the 2015 and 2016 financial years 
with the 2017 budget year. Management believes 
that these growth percentages are reasonable 
considering forecast sales growth and economies 
of scale. A post-tax discount rate of 8.79% 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 cash-generating unit
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 2017 
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 (2015: 4.0% per annum). 
This figure is based on the growth in forecast 
average franchise weekly sales from the 2015 
and 2016 financial years to the 2017 budget year. 
Management believes that this growth percentage 
is reasonable considering the sales growth that has 
been seen in this market during the 2016 financial 
year. A post-tax discount rate of 8.79% 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 cash-generating units
The recoverable amount of the cash-generating 
units is determined based on a value in use 
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 14.4% 
for France/Belgium. A post-tax discount rate of 
8.79% has been used for The Netherlands and 
a pre-tax discount rate of 12.5% 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 recoverable amount of the German 
cash-generating unit is determined based 
on a fair value less costs to sell model which 
includes future cash flows over a 5-year period 
based on management’s expectations on the 
market growth rates and further investment 
in store rollout. A cost of equity discount rate 
of 10% has been applied and a compound 
annual growth rate of 9.3% has been used in 
determining the terminal value. Based on this 
analysis, no impairment has been identified 
since the acquisition.

(i) 

 During the year the consolidated entity has entered into a joint venture arrangement with DPG. The consolidated entity has agreed to pay a maximum of $25 million as compensation for DPG to forfeit 
66.67% of their exclusive rights to the German market and entry into a new Master Franchise Agreement for Germany. In 100% terms the total value of the Master Access Right is $37.5 million if the

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 03 July 2016 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 other 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

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   continued(a)  Options
The Company approved the establishment of the Executive Share and Option Plan (“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, 939,179 options were exercised (2015: 627,500). A total of $41,433,564 was received as consideration for 939,179 fully paid ordinary 
shares of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited on exercise of the options in the current financial year (2015: $3,568,325).

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

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

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

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 03 July 2016 will be paid in 
cash only.

34.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
34.1  Capital risk management
The Consolidated entity manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising  
the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balances. The Consolidated entity’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2015.

The capital structure of the Consolidated entity consists of net debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed in note 23, cash and cash equivalents and 
equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves, retained earnings and non-controlling interest as disclosed in 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.
• Forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk of purchases.

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.

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.

76

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   continued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 JPY 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. As at 03 July 2016, 
no ineffectiveness has been recognised in 
profit or loss arising from hedging the net 
investment in Europe. 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 Australian dollars 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. 
As at 03 July 2016, no ineffectiveness has 
been recognised in profit or loss arising from 
hedging the net investment in Europe.

• 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 Japanese Yen 
respectively. DPE Limited intends to mitigate 
its foreign currency translation risk exposure 
by denominating a portion of its senior debt in 
Euros and Japanese 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
Other financial liabilities
Loan payables

34.6.1 Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

Hedges of net investments in foreign operations

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.

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 consolidated statement of 
profit and loss.

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 
$11,285 thousand (2015: $294 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. 

Profit or (loss)

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

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 $551 thousand 
and decrease by $438 thousand (2015: 
increase by $466 thousand and decrease by 
$216 thousand). This is mainly attributable to 
the Consolidated entity’s exposure to interest 
rates on its variable rate borrowings.

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. A forward foreign exchange contract is 
only entered into once the Consolidated entity 
has committed to the purchase transaction. 
At 03 July 2016, the notional amount of these 
contracts is $26,895,794. These contracts 
are held in USD and are used by the Japanese 
business. The notional value in USD is $16,252 
thousand and the notional value in Yen is ¥1,792 
million. The value that is less than 3 months is 
$5,117 thousand and over 3 months is $14,950 
thousand. The aggregate amount of gains under 
forward foreign exchange contracts recognised 
in other comprehensive income and accumulated 
in the cash flow hedging reserve relating to the 
exposure on these anticipated future transactions 
is $2,694 thousand. At 03 July 2016, no 
ineffectiveness has been recognised in profit and 
loss arising from these contracts.

78

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   continued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. 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 1.16% on a notional value of $50,776 thousand and has a fair value of $7,827 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.

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.

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 and Domino’s Pizza Germany (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 $51.3m and has a value at year end of $117.4m 
with the movement recorded in other reserves. No reasonable change in the key inputs would result in a material change of this value.

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    continued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. 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:

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. 

Speed Rabbit Pizza 
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 which is scheduled to be 
heard on 17 February 2017. The two remaining local claims have yet to be heard at first instance.

Pizza Sprint
Shortly before year end, the Consolidated entity became aware of a legal matter in relation to Fra-Ma Pizz SAS, the Pizza Sprint entity acquired in France in 2016. 
The Consolidated entity is currently assessing its legal position on this matter, as the claim is in relation to alleged practices predating the acquisition and will 
therefore be considered as part of finalisation of acquisition accounting. Refer note 46 for provisional accounting considerations in respect of the acquisitions.

Guarantees are provided to third party financial institutions in relation to franchisee loans. The amount disclosed as a contingent liability represents 
the amounts guaranteed in respect of franchisees that would not, without the guarantee, have been granted the loans. The directors believe that if the 
guarantees are ever called on, the Company will be able to recover the amounts paid upon disposal of the stores.

46.  ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARIES
Acquisition of Pizza Sprint
On the 26 January 2016, the Consolidated entity acquired 100% interest of Pizza Sprint. Pizza Sprint is a chain of 89 pizza stores in France, comprising

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   continuedThe initial accounting for the acquisition of Pizza 
Sprint has only been provisionally determined 
at the end of the reporting period. At the date 
of finalisation of the 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.

Contingent consideration has been provided to 
the vendors of a maximum of 3.5 million based 
on the conversion of Pizza Sprint franchises to 
Dominos franchises. $3.9 million (2.5 million) 
represents the estimated fair value of this 
obligation at the acquisition date.

Shortly before year end, the Consolidated entity 
became aware of a legal matter in relation to 
Fra-Ma Pizz SAS, the Pizza Sprint acquired 
entity. The Consolidated entity is currently 
assessing its legal position on this matter, as the 
claim is in relation to alleged practices predating 
the acquisition and will therefore be considered 
as part of finalisation of acquisition accounting. 
No provision has been recognised in the above 
provisional acquisition accounting.

Acquisition-related costs amounting to 
$1,890 thousand have been excluded from 
the consideration transferred and have been 
recognised as an expense in the consolidated 
profit and loss in the current year within the 
‘acquisition and integration related costs’ line 
item. The revenue and results from continuing 
operations has been included in the Europe 
segment in Note 6.

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

Goodwill arose in the acquisition because the 
cost of the combination included a control 
premium. In addition, the consideration paid for 
the combination effectively included amounts 
in relation to the benefit of expected synergies, 
revenue growth, future market development 
and the assembled workforce of Pizza Sprint. 
These benefits are not recognised separately 
from goodwill because they do not meet the 
recognition criteria for identifiable intangible 
assets. No amount of goodwill is expected to be 
deductible for income tax purposes.

Impact of acquisitions on the results of the 
Consolidated group.
Included in the profit for the year is $309 
thousand attributable to the acquisition of Pizza 
Sprint. This profit was impacted by acquisition 
and integration related costs. Revenues for the 
year includes $9,201 thousand in respect of 
Pizza Sprint. The Pizza Sprint results exclude 
profit and revenues from stores that have been 
converted to Domino’s.

Acquisition of Joey’s Pizza
On 2 February 2016, the Consolidated entity 
through its 66.7% controlled joint venture 
company Daytona JV (UK) Limited (Daytona) 
acquired 100% of the issued share capital of 
interest in Joey’s Pizza (Joey’s Pizza). Joey’s Pizza 
is the largest pizza chain in Germany with a store 
network of 212 stores, comprising 209 franchise 
stores and 3 corporate owned stores. This 
acquisition is expected to provide the Consolidated 
entity with substantial growth into the future. The 
acquisition was funded through both debt and 
issue of equity securities. The remaining 33.3% 
of Daytona is owned by UK-listed Domino’s Pizza 
Group plc (DPG), refer to note 32.

The amounts recognised in respect of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are set out in the table below, which is on a 100% basis.

2016 ANNUAL REPORT DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED NOTES 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  
15 August 2016.

Impact of acquisitions on the results of the 
Consolidated group.
Included in the profit for the year is  
$2,882 thousand loss attributable to acquisition 
of Joey’s Pizza. This loss was impacted by 
acquisition and integration related costs. 
Revenues for the year includes $24,560 
thousand in respect of Joey’s Pizza.

Market Access Fee & acquisition of Master 
Franchise Rights
As part of the joint venture arrangement with 
DPG, the consolidated entity has agreed to pay 
a maximum of 25 million as compensation for 
DPG to forfeit 66.6% of their exclusive rights to 
the German market and entry into a new Master 
Franchise Agreement for Germany.

The market access fee liability and asset 
has been excluded from the above business 
combinations as this was separate to the Joey’s 
Pizza sale and purchase agreement. The market 
access fee has been treated as a separate asset 
acquisition, refer to note 20.

46.  ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARIES 
(CONTINUED)
The initial accounting for the acquisition of 
Daytona has only been provisionally determined 
at the end of the reporting period, with the 
intangible assets and associated liabilities to be 
confirmed. At the date of finalisation of these 
consolidated financial statements, the necessary 
market valuations and other calculations had not 
been finalised (as well as associated tax impacts) 
and have therefore only been provisionally 
determined based on the director’s best estimate 
of the likely fair values.

Contingent consideration has been provided 
to the vendors of a maximum of 34 million 
based on the conversion of Joey’s franchises to 
Dominos franchises. All contingent consideration 
was paid by 03 July 2016.

Acquisition related costs to date amount to $3,160 
thousand and have been included as an expense in 
profit or loss in the full-year within the acquisition 
and integration related costs. The revenue and 
results from continuing operations has been 
included in the Europe segment in Note 6.

The above represents the fair value of the 
receivables and there were no uncollectible 
amounts recorded.

Goodwill arose in the acquisition because the 
cost of the combination included a control 
premium. In addition, the consideration paid for 
the combination effectively included amounts 
in relation to the benefit of expected synergies, 
revenue growth, future market development and 
the assembled workforce of Joey’s Pizza. These 
benefits are not recognised separately from 
goodwill because they do not meet the recognition 
criteria for identifiable intangible assets.
