franchisees  and  shareholders,  but  also 
for the communities in which we operate. 
Our  local  stores  are  proud  members  of 
thousands  of  local  communities,  and 
this  year  we  again  invested  in  those 
communities. From disaster relief to local 
doughraisers for community groups and 
supporting  educational  scholarships, 
through  to  making  meaningful  progress 
towards reducing our impact on the local 
environment – Domino’s is committed to 
being a good neighbour as well as a great 
company.

Our  people  are  essential  to  our  future. 
The  board  is  confident  we  have  the 
people, culture and management depth 
to  deliver  on  our  growth  ambitions.  The 
franchisees featured in this report speak 
multiple languages, but in one voice – they 
are investing in our people and nurturing 
the future franchisees and leaders of our 
business. Our history is one of developing 
leaders from within, from store managers 
through  to  franchisees  and  executives. 
Most  recently,  the  benefits  of  this 
approach are being demonstrated by the 
executives  and  CEOs  appointed  in  the 
past two years in Europe and Asia. Their 
decades of Domino’s experience, and deep 
understanding of our business and people, 
are already showing in the results they are 
delivering.

I  anticipate  that  the  next  CEO  of  our 
business is already a Domino’s employee, 
and  the  subsequent  CEO  may  already 
be  delivering  our  pizzas  somewhere  in 
the  world,  perhaps  even  working  for  a 
franchisee featured within.

Domino’s Pizza Enterprises is a business 
with a bright future, and I am pleased to 
report on our progress so far.

Jack Cowin
Chairman

This  year  has  been  another  milestone 
year for Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd. 
Not  only  has  management  delivered 
impressive operational and financial results 
for the year, but the Company also made 
important decisions for the future.

This year, Domino’s expanded our footprint, 
and future potential, acquiring the rights to 
expand  into  Denmark  and  Luxembourg, 
with  the  first  stores  in  Denmark  already 
opened.

Our  Company  has  expectations  for 
ongoing growth as we work to open more 
stores closer to our customers. Now, as 
the  exclusive  master  franchisee  for  the 
Domino’s brand in nine countries, on three 
continents, with a combined population of 
more than 340 million people, we have a 
significant opportunity.

We  are  committed  to  building  out  this 
opportunity in all regions, investing in our 
most  successful  store  managers  and 
franchisees, those who are eager to take 
on their first Domino’s store or to expand 
their existing, successful businesses. In 
addition, we are strategically opening 
more corporate stores to expand our 
footprint.  This  strategy  helps  our 
customers, our team members and 
our shareholders, as we leverage the 
benefits  of  scale  in  procurement, 
marketing and operations.

The  board  is  also  committed  to  the 
prudent  use  of  capital  in  support 
of  this  strategy,  the  success 
of which can be seen in the 
returns to our shareholders. 
I  am  pleased  that  our 
dividend to shareholders 
will  increase  again  this 
year, by +7.1% to 115.5c 
per share. In the past 
three years, Domino’s 
Pizza Enterprises Ltd’s 
dividend has increased 
at a compound annual 
growth rate of +16.3%.

For  our  business  to 
have  a  sustainable 
future,  we  must 
not  only  deliver 
for  our  customers,

CEO’s Report

don meij

This  financial  year  Domino’s  Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd’s long-term vision to 
create a truly global business – backed 
by the support of our shareholders to 
invest in this vision – delivered a strong 
financial performance at a group level. 
Through the strategic acquisitions of 
new markets, particularly in the past 
six years entering Japan and Germany, 
Domino’s  now  has  a  diversified 
portfolio  of  businesses  that  spans 
a  range  of  market  penetration  and 
maturity. We remain confident in the 
ongoing growth opportunity in all of the 
markets in which we operate.

With  a  record  underlying    EBIT  of 
$220.8 million, an increase of +7.2%, 
this  strategy  has  also  shown  its 
resilience. Domino’s has demonstrated 
it is a global, portfolio business that can 
continue to grow despite short-term, 
local conditions in individual markets. 
Online sales (increasing +18.2% to $1.9 
billion), delivered total global food sales 
of $2.9 billion (+11.9%).  As part of this 
long-term view we provided an outlook 
at a group level that, for the next three 
to five years, each year we would lift 
sales by between 3% and 6% on a Same 
Store basis, open between 7% and 9% 
of our network in new stores, with net 
Capex of $60 - $70m.

This year we opened 179 new Domino’s 
stores  and  successfully  converted 
the  remaining  Hallo  Pizza  stores  in 
Europe  to  the  Domino’s  brand.  The 
conversion of the former Hallo Pizza 
stores in Germany was, as expected, a 
large contribution to one-off costs of 
$47.4m. Nonetheless, free cash flow 

remained  strong  at  $84.9m.  Every 
team member in Domino’s, from those 
working in stores through to the global 
leadership team, is Hungry to be Better 
– continually innovating to improve our 
digital platforms, our menus, and our 
operations. It is this approach that lifted 
sales across our group on a Same Store 
Sales basis by +3.6%. I am very pleased 
with the performance of management 
and team members in each region who 
have contributed to this performance.

Australia/New Zealand
Our digital platforms in Australia/New 
Zealand saw record usage, selling more 
than 2 million pizzas and sides in one 
week. New products, including our Extra 
Large (XL) range, helped deliver value 
for customers and franchisees.

understand 

We  continue  to  invest  in  helping 
franchisees 
the 
opportunities for growing profitability 
in  their  business,  as  well  as  in  Co-
Pilot  initiatives  that  deliver  in-store 
efficiencies  and  associated  savings. 
We recognise our responsibility as one 
of Australia’s largest franchisors, and 
are reviewing the recommendations 
of  the  Joint  Parliamentary  inquiry 
into  franchising  to  determine  which 
recommendations  we  can  adapt  to 
improve  our  business,  even  before 
these recommendations are finalised 
and codified in regulation.

We made some important decisions for 
the long-term, including strengthening 
our  franchisee  group  by  purchasing 
back some stores into our corporate 
network.  Because  franchisees  have 

more  opportunities  to  buy  existing 
stores  new  store  openings  were 
muted with 21 newly built stores – but 
we  achieved  a  milestone  with  the 
opening of Australia’s 700th store. ANZ 
underlying EBITDA declined by 4% to 
$127.9m, with positive Same Store Sales 
growth of +2.4%.

Japan
Our Japan operations performed very 
strongly this year, with new products 
building out our barbell menu strategy. 
This provided new value offerings to 
balance our existing premium ranges, 
that have resonated with customers. 
This lifted total network sales by +22.2% 
to $591.4m, an increase of +8.4% on a 
Same Store Sales basis.

Under new leadership, our digital, menu 
and operational initiatives are having 
a positive impact. This has provided 
renewed  confidence  in  the  outlook 
for our business in Japan, heightening 
our expectations of the capacity for 
more Domino’s stores. This Financial 
Year  we  opened  an  additional  +81 
stores, passing key milestones of 550 
and 600 stores. The success of this 
approach  has  supported  our  long-
term  expectations  for  our  network, 
which have increased from 850 stores 
to 1000 stores.

I commend this report to you and, on 
behalf of the leadership team, thank 
all of our employees, franchisees and 
team  members  for  their  significant 
achievements this year.

 06 // 2019 ANNUAL  REPORT DO MI N O ’S PIZ ZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED

With the opening of  77 organic new 
stores,  Domino’s  Pizza  Enterprises 
Ltd passed 1,000 Domino’s branded 
stores  in  Europe  –  an  important 
milestone.Across  all  countries,  new 
menu initiatives, digital innovations and 
strong operational performance lifted 
total network sales 15.1%, to $1136.9m. 
This delivered underlying EBITDA 9.3% 
higher at $81.9m, on Same Store Sales 
growth of 3.1%.

Don Meij
Group CEO &
Managing Director

Europe
Our European operations delivered a 
positive performance at a group level, 
building  out  the  large  opportunity 
already available to us. Management 
completed 
two  acquisitions, 
Luxembourg and Denmark, both were 
strategic  opportunities  with  strong 
geographic and cultural alignment to 
our existing markets. 

The Netherlands and Belgium continue 
to perform strongly, with the rest of our 
business benefiting from the lessons 
learned  in  these  growing  markets. 
Our  results  in  France  did  not  meet 
our expectations, but we are pleased 
with the initial indications of improved 
performance  –  particularly  in  the 
second  half  –  with  an  experienced 
Domino’s  leader  (himself  a  former 
franchisee) improving the alignment 
with our franchisees.

The  team  in  Germany  successfully 
the  conversion  of 
completed 
the  acquired  Hallo  Pizza  chain  to 
Domino’s, finishing the year with 327 
stores.  I  recognise  the  significant 
accomplishment  of  our  entire  team 
in  Germany  who,  after  acquiring  the 
business less than four years ago with 
fewer than 15 stores, now operate more 
than 300 stores under the Domino’s 
brand. Pleasingly, our first newly built 
stores  for  the  business  have  been 
opened this year, by franchisees who 
joined our business through acquisition, 
and have demonstrated their belief in 
Domino’s approach and vision.

PROJECT 3TEN

Across  three  continents,  Domino’s 
Pizza  Enterprises  offers  customers 
unique  menu  items  and  ingredients 
tailored to local tastes. But worldwide 
there is one constant – every customer 
wants their pizza made fresh and hot 
out of the oven. Throughout our history 
we have worked hard to deliver on this.

than  five  minutes  from  the  time  of 
order – was considered impossible.

The  Groningen  Floresstraat  store  in 
the Netherlands took up the challenge, 
setting a new benchmark of 3 minutes 
and 36 seconds. A new, ‘unbeatable’ 
benchmark.

Why are records 
important?
Records  show  all  of  our  stores  what 
is  possible.  By  setting  records,  we 
challenge the status quo and discover 
new and innovative ways to do things. 
This drives our business forward and 
allows  us  to  push  the  boundaries  of 
what’s possible for our customers.

Our goal is to prepare a hot, 
freshly  made  pizza  ready 
for  carry-out  within  three 
minutes, or safely delivered 
to our customer’s door within 
ten  minutes.  Project  3TEN 
is  our  strategy  to  deliver 
on  this  goal,  everything 
from  developing  world-
first  technology  initiatives, 
and  increasing  training  for 
team members, through to 
opening  even  more  stores 
closer to our customers.

Why is Project 
3TEN so 
important?
When  our  customers  are 
hungry, they’re hungry now. 

WORLD RECORD DELIVERIES
Groningen Floresstraat STORE
NETHERLANDS
JULY 2018
3 MINUTES, 36 SECONDS

We know from our research 
that  time  is  the  enemy  of 
food.  The  longer  it  waits, 
the 
lower  the  customer 
w h i c h 
s a t i s f a c t i o n ,  
significantly  decreases

shows  stores  with  faster 
delivery  times  have  higher 
customer  satisfaction  scores;  that 
their  customers  are  more  likely  to 
recommend Domino’s to loved ones; 
and  that  they  record  higher  sales, 
including  through  increased  order 
frequency.

Domino’s  Pizza  Enterprises  believes 
Project 3TEN is central to delivering on 
our customers’ expectations, and our 
future growth.

“How did they do that?” 
This  has  been  a  year  of  breaking 
records. A five minute store – able to 
deliver all week at an average of less

YOTSUYA STORE
JAPAN
NOVEMBER 2018
2 MINUTES, 38 SECONDS

That is, until the Yotsuya store in Japan 
took  up  the  challenge  and  beat  it  – 
setting a new world record for delivery, 
with a safe delivery time of 2 minutes 
and  38  seconds  for  an  entire  week. 
That’s a freshly made pizza ordered and 
delivered to your door almost before 
you’ve put down your phone.

Every Domino’s region is now looking 
at what is possible, setting their sights 
on new regional records, with Australia 
targeting the first sub-six minute store 
in 2019.

How do we make it 
happen?
The  single  most  important 
change  we  can  make  in  our 
stores, is attitude. Investments 
technology  and 
in  new 
operational 
improvements 
are  important,  but  our  ability 
to  deliver  on  Project  3TEN 
first  requires  leadership  from 
our  franchisees  and  store 
managers.

To foster this attitude, Domino’s 
Pizza Inc filmed a world record 
attempt 
in  the  Groningen 
Floresstraat store. Domino’s has 
now shared this documentary 
as a central part of training and 
development roadshows in all 
of our regions. Store managers 
are  challenged  to  implement 
the  proven  tactics  to  reduce 
delivery  times  in  a  phased 
approach.

These  phases  include  steps 
such  as  utilising  Domino’s 
predictive ordering, increasing 
the number of e-bike deliveries, and 
having ‘runners’ in peak periods taking 
pizzas out to waiting delivery experts. 
Upgrading stores to faster ovens does 
reduce cooking and delivery times, but 
Domino’s has found more time savings 
can be found simply by eliminating the 
time meals wait for an available driver.

But  the  largest  barrier  still  remains 
the distance from our kitchens to our 
customers, which means to have the 
fastest, freshest pizzas going out the 
door  at  all  times,  we  need  to  open 
more stores in every country in which 
we operate.

AUSTRALIA & NEW Zealand overview WITH CEO

NICK KNIGHT

It is not enough to be Australia and New 
Zealand’s leading pizza company; to 
be  better  we  must  continuously 
listen  to  our  customers  and 
deliver  an  experience  that  is 
rewarding.  That  is  why  we  are 
so  excited  about  the  launch 
of  DOM  Pizza  Checker,  which 
we believe is an essential tool for 
our  team  members  committed  to 
delivering  the  best  pizzas  for 
our  customers  every 
day. 

We will continue 
to deliver on this 
commitment in the 
next 12 months. 

Nick Knight
ANZ CEO

Every  hard  working  member  of  the 
Domino’s  team  in  Australia  and  New 
Zealand  should  be  proud  of  the 
achievements they have made this year. 

While Australia has seen a number of 
retailers reduce their footprints or close 
their  doors,  Domino’s  has  grown  our 
network, our share of the pizza market, 
and our share of the fast food business. 
That result is due to the team members 
working across our business, especially 
those who put on their Domino’s uniform 
every day. 

Every  decision  we  made  this  year  in 
Australia and New Zealand was because 
we are Hungry to be Better. Whether we 
have  looked  for  incremental  benefits 
with the launch of a unique limited time 
dessert,  or  a  more  expansive  launch 
such as the Extra Large pizza range, our 
goal is to deliver value for our customers, 
improved franchisee profitability, and a 
better business for our investors. 

Our  strategy  remains  unchanged; 
delivering  high  quality  meals  to 
customers,  at  an  affordable  price, 
as  quickly  and  as    safely    as  possible. 
Our  focus  on  Project  3TEN  remains 
key  to  this  strategy,  which  is  why  we 
were  pleased  our  store  development 
–  opening  more  kitchens  closer  to 
our customers – is almost exclusively 
delivered  by  existing  franchisees  or 
store managers. This includes our 700th 
store to open in Australia, opened by a 
successful, five store franchisee.

FOOD
INNOVATION

From limited time offers to launching new products 
that are becoming mainstays of our menu, Domino’s 
Australia  and  New  Zealand  delivered  continual 
menu innovation this year, to offer customers more 
of the flavours they enjoy. 

New products were added to the menu across the 
range, from new pizzas, new sizes and new desserts 
through to new side choices, including Kumara Fries 
in New Zealand. 

For new crust choices, the Garlic Bread Crust was 
a very popular new addition, as was the 3 Cheese 
Stacker  limited  time  offering.  Both  were  added 
during  Summer,  when  Domino’s  launched  our 
biggest menu upgrade with a campaign aimed to 
be the Official Pizza of Summer. 

We work hard every day to give customers more 
of what they love and this year we delivered some 
of the best examples of this approach through our 
menu innovation. The perfect example of this was 
our December launch of “The Big One” – our biggest 
pizza ever. While The Big One wasn’t designed to 
be a core part of our pizza menu, it typifies our 
approach to be the pizza for every occasion, even 
the biggest celebration. 

Similarly, our launch of the Extra Large pizza range 
gave  customers  more  choice  and  more  value, 
offering 50% more toppings and 50% more pizza for 
only $3 extra. This was well received by customers 
and franchisees, offering customers great value 
at  the  same  time  as  delivering  franchisees  an 
increased average sale and improved margins. 

New side and dessert options are important to build 
sales, and Domino’s extended two already popular 
options in these categories with new chicken sides – 
Fried Chicken with four unique sauce options – and 
desserts, including limited time Sundae offerings, 
new Thickshake flavours including Salted Caramel 
and Chocolate Cheesecake. 

Domino’s also expanded our menu options for our 
vegan customers, with a delicious Vegan Cheesy 
Garlic Bread, as well as a Vegan Summer BBQ pizza 
to deliver for this important, and growing, customer 
group.

DIGITAL
INNOVATION

This  year  we  rolled  out  the  most 
significant innovation for our business 
since launching GPS Driver Tracker in 
2015 – DOM Pizza Checker. 

DOM Pizza Checker is designed to solve 
our  largest  customer  tension  point, 
‘My pizza doesn’t look like it should’. 
This  world-first  technology  uses  a 
smart scanner above the cut bench 
to  check  the  quality  of  every  pizza; 
working alongside our team members 
to help them make and bake pizzas to 
perfection every time. The technology 
can recognise, analyse and grade pizzas 
based on pizza type, correct toppings 
and distribution, as well as share real-
time images of pizzas with customers.  

Our  innovation  team  has  delivered 
a  suite  of  projects  this  year  to  the 
benefit of our customers, and our team 
members. 

We  know  customers  value  their 
time and don’t like waiting. Our team 
delivered “Notify Me”, which sends an 
SMS (opt-in) letting them know exactly 
when their order will be ready in store.  

With  smart  speakers  becoming 
increasingly  common  in  Australian 
homes,  Domino’s  partnered  with 
Google to ensure our customers can 
order  their  favourite  pizza  orders 
through  the  Google  assistant,  using 
only their voice.

Domino’s also launched Augmented 
Reality (AR) to help customers create 
their ultimate, favourite pizzas through 
our  existing  app.  At  the  end  of  this 
Financial Year we started rolling-out our 
new mobile app, the largest upgrade to 
this significant customer touchpoint 
since  our  first  app  was  launched. 
The new app is designed to be faster, 
more intuitive and more engaging, and 
our  staged  roll-out,  initially  to  loyal 

users, reflects the importance of this 
technology to our online offerings.  

In  stores  Domino’s  delivered 
innovations designed to help our team 
members be even more efficient. In 
partnership  with  Master  Franchisor 
Domino’s Pizza Inc, our team delivered 
an  iPhone  version  of  the  Domino’s 
Inventory App, to help reduce the time 
needed for this important daily task. 

We continue to refine our predictive 
ordering, using machine learning to help 
team members anticipate likely orders 
as a core component of Project 3TEN.

The  team  also  responded  to  team 
member  feedback    from  stores,  to 
connect incoming stock orders with 
the  Pulse  point  of  sale  system,  to 
reduce data input errors and help store 
managers  monitor  and  control  their 
stock levels.

OPERATIONAL
EXCELLENCE

To deliver the best experience for our 
customers, Domino’s needs the best 
performing  kitchens,  closer  to  our 
customers. 

Operations 360 is a solution including 
an  extensive  set  of  data  that  allows 
franchisees,  store  managers  and 
team members to measure and track 
their  performance,  benchmarked 
against  other  stores.  This  year  we 
added quarterly business reviews to 
Operations  360,  with  experienced 
Domino’s business consultants using 
the data at hand to work with stores to 
identify areas for improved profitability 
and  operational  performance.  This 
has  delivered  positive  results,  with 
franchisees  sharing  their  successes 
and lessons learned for the benefit of 
their peers. Equally it has seen some 
franchisees, who no longer have the 
passion or the capability to take their 
businesses to the next level, leave the 
Domino’s system, which will over time 

strengthen our franchisee base. 
Our  best  improvements  are  driven 
by  our  experienced  team  members. 
This  year  we  delivered  a  program  of 
weekly  incremental  improvements, 
often identified by team members, to 
improve efficiencies and profitability. 
For  example,  our  innovation  team 
automated the ability for franchisees 
and  store  managers  to  link  stock 
ordering to our point of sale system, 
saving time and reducing data-entry 
errors.  

Project 3TEN underpins everything our 
stores work to achieve, with tangible 
work  on  everything  from  simplifying 
menus  and  packaging  through  to 
reducing the number of times where 
a team member delivers to more than 
one  customer  on  a  single  journey. 
This  focus  on  single  deliveries  has 
increased customer satisfaction scores 
because of the reduction in delivery 
times  and  the  improved  quality  of 

customer  meals  on  arrival.  This  has 
been particularly important since the 
changes  to  labour  costs  associated 
with  the  Modern  Fast  Food  Industry 
Award, which have required operational 
changes to offset higher labour rates 
that  appropriately  reward  our  team 
members. 

From  hiring  through  to  day-to-day 
operations,  we  are  always  looking  to 
deliver improvements for our stores. 

We have worked relentlessly this year 
to deliver operational improvements 
to  drive  towards  our  goal  of  having 
not  only  the  most  efficient,  but  also 
the smartest kitchens in our industry. 
It’s important that innovation delivers 
a  customer  experience  that  is  more 
seamless than ever before. Equally our 
goal is to ensure our team members are 
supported by systems and technology 
that  delivers  a  more  rewarding  and 
efficient working environment.

When university student David Burness 
needed  a  job,  a  franchisee  he  knew 
convinced  him  Domino’s  might  be 
a  good  short-term  option  while  he 
finished his studies in journalism and 
politics. That was 28 years ago. 

Now countless other young Domino’s 
team  members  have  benefitted 
from  the  lessons  in  leadership  and 
communication he learned at university, 
and  especially  from  his  decision  to 
forge a new career path they have since 
followed.  

David credits Dallas-based franchisee 
Mike  Yaw  for  the  initial  inspiration 
to  become  a  franchisee  himself.  He 
has  since  taken  that  inspiration  to 
build successful, multi-unit Domino’s 
franchise  businesses  not  once,  but 
twice.  His  first  he  sold  to  become  a 
leader in Domino’s developing business 
in the Netherlands. Then after returning 
to Australia, David became a franchisee 
again,  initially  with  three  stores,  later 
grown to five. 

Despite this remarkable achievement 
(accompanied by an extended list of 
awards and sales records earned along 
the  way)  David  considers  the  most 
rewarding part of his Domino’s career 
to be the growth he has fostered among 
young team members. 

Key to that growth has been a range of 
programs he has delivered that teach 
core  skills,  recognise  and  promote 
talent, and celebrate success including; 
a  Manager  in  Training  Competency 
handbook  to  develop  assistant 
managers, and a Manager Sponsorship 
program  to  help  managers  become 
franchisees. 

“Since I’ve started, many of our team 
have earned promotions to managerial 
roles. We only ever hire managers from 
within our stores. Ten of those managers 
have  gone  on  to  become  Domino’s 
franchisees.”  

If  I  could  give  any  advice  to  a  driver 
starting  their  Domino’s  career  today, 
it would be:  To quote one of the great 
Presidents,  “Ask  not  what  your  store 
can do for you, but what you can do for 
your store”. My attitude when I was an 
employee was that if I did more work 
than I was paid for, one day I’ll be paid 
for more work than I do. Don’t work to 
a clock, work to a task and don’t stop 
until that task is done really well. If you 
do this, you make yourself very valuable 
and valuable people get rewarded. 

A motivational saying I live by: 
Appreciate the ordinary things in life, 
they happen every day.

Brothers Liam and Kaedyn Stops did not 
start their Domino’s journey with grand 
ambitions. The youngest Domino’s Pizza 
franchisees in New Zealand started with 
more modest goals - joining Domino’s at 
12 years-old washing dishes and ‘wobble 
boarding’ outside the Hastings store.

They  quickly  moved  onward  and 
upwards to other in-store roles; by the 
age of 14 they were running shifts and 
then  moved  into  manager  roles  two 
years later.  

The  Stops  brothers  recognise  the 
important training they received along 
the way - their first franchisee was an 
important mentor, and their father was 
a small business owner himself.

The brothers decided to purchase their 
first store in Rotorua when they were 18 
and 19 respectively. With a firm business 
plan guiding them they have now bought 
a total of three stores in nearly six years, 
and plan to own five stores in five years.

The  road  map  to  their  success  has 
been their customer focused approach. 
Customers  are  at  the  centre  of  their 
business and they are always seeking 
innovations  or  improvements  that 
enhance their service.

The brothers show a level of leadership 
well  beyond  their  years,  which  was 
recognised at this year’s Domino’s Rally 
for Australia/New Zealand where they 
were awarded a Leadership Eagle. 

The Stops brothers understand running 
a  successful  Domino’s  franchise  is  a 
team effort - not only are they a close 
team themselves, but also they have 
built a strong team in their stores.

They are focused on staff development 
and,  with  a  group  of  excited  staff 
members who share their passion for 
the business, they expect to be a mentor 
themselves to the next generation of 
Managers and Franchisees.

JAPAN overview WITH CEO

Josh Kilimnik

I  am  very  proud  of  the  hard  work  and 
commitment  from  all  our  franchisees 
and team members this year. In stores, 
in the field, and in our offices, they have 
delivered  an  outstanding  result  for 
Domino’s  Pizza Japan. 

Last year I wrote that we saw in Japan “the 
opportunity to implement new ideas to 
grow customer counts and sales, using 
tried and tested promotions and tactics 
that  have  proved  successful  in  other 
markets.”  I  am  pleased  to  say  this  has 
come  to  fruition  with  significant  menu 
innovation  and  technology  roll-outs, 
including the Coupon App and Just Time 
cooking, driving the most significant lift in 
Same Store Sales in many years. 

All of our team recognise this is not the 
end of our journey, but the very beginning. 
We have a great opportunity in front of 
us, and we look forward to building out 
the Japanese market in the months and 
years ahead. 

Domino’s Pizza Japan passed 600 stores 
this  year  –  a  significant  milestone.  We 
did  not  believe  our  original  long-term 
store  target  of  850  stores  adequately 
reflected  the  market  opportunity,  and 
have  increased  our  planning  to  target 
1000  stores.  We  believe  this  larger 
opportunity reflects the increased carry-
out and delivery customers we can reach 
by  building  more  stores  closer  to  our 
customers. 

In Japan, the typical Domino’s customer 
chooses to order our meals to celebrate 
special occasions. Our plan is to retain 
that premium market, with high-quality 
menu  offerings  such  as  our  Superstar 

Pizza,  while  building  more  customer 
frequency  through  our  Barbell  Menu 
Strategy, outlined in more detail in  this 
report.

Ultimately,  Project  3TEN  remains  as 
important in our business as in other 
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises markets; 
our  customers  value  convenience, 
and their time, and want meals safely 
delivered fast, or available for carry-out 
with no delay. Domino’s Japan was proud 
to  set  a  new  benchmark  this  year, 
with a world record that will be 
challenging for any store 
to beat. 

We are confident with 
the  foundations  we 
have put in place this 
year, and the strategy 
to  deliver  even 
stronger  results  in 
the years ahead. I am 
very pleased that our 
franchisees  share 
this  confidence, 
and are increasingly 
building their small- 
and  medium-
sized  businesses 
into  multi-unit 
franchises. 

I  look  forward  to 
delivering even more 
progress .

FOOD
INNOVATION

A re-focus on our core menu has been 
delivering for Domino’s Pizza Japan, and 
customers, this year. 

At  the  heart  of  this  approach  is  the 
data-driven  use  of  customer  insights. 
These insights identified products and 
marketing  approaches  –  particularly 
those highlighting Domino’s high-quality 
ingredients – that excite customers.  

Using  this  approach,  Domino’s  Pizza 
Japan  launched  multiple,  successful 
new products in the First Half, including 
the Cheese Burst Crust, and the Ultimate 
Italian pizza range, which lifted Same Store 
Sales. Customers were equally excited by 
the addition of the authentic New Yorker 
range in January, mirroring the success of 
this product in other markets.

Domino’s  Pizza  Japan  has  built  a 
successful  business  on  delivering 
high-quality  meals  catering  for  special 

occasions, but management recognised 
an opportunity in building and meeting 
customer  demand  for  other  meal 
occasions. In the Second Half, Domino’s 
Pizza Japan launched the largest menu 
upgrade since Domino’s Pizza Enterprises 
acquired  the  region  in  2013,  adding  a 
value-focused, single-customer targeted 
range,  to  add  to  the  existing  premium 
menu offerings. 

This Barbell Menu Strategy has been well 
received  by  customers,  who  can  now 
choose  from  premium  menu  options 
including  the  ‘Superstar’  –  with  wagyu 
beef and tiger prawns – through to the 
American Classic Range. The new menu 
strategy has also delivered for franchisees, 
increasing customer frequency without 
losing  Domino’s  position  as  a  special 
occasion meal.

DIGITAL
INNOVATION

Significant investment in prior Financial 
Years  ensured  Domino’s  Pizza  Japan 
moved onto the OneDigital online sales 
is  technology 
platform.  OneDigital 
developed by Domino’s Pizza Enterprises 
and  rolled-out  to  all  of  the  Company’s 
international markets. 

Just  Time  Cooking  delivers  carry-out 
customers a hotter, fresher, meal – using 
location-based technology to inform in-
store team members when meals should 
be prepared so they are fresh out of the 
oven just as customers are arriving to pick 
up their order. 

This Financial Year the benefits of that 
investment  have  started  to  deliver  for 
not only the digital development teams, 
but  also  in-store  team  members  and 
customers. 

Domino’s has recently launched Just Time 
Cooking, building on the success of similar 
technology  in  our  other  markets.  Just 
Time Cooking built on the development 
of On Time Cooking, which helped team 
members and customers in Australia.

Domino’s  Pizza  Japan  launched  the 
Coupon App, offering similar functionality 
to  the  Offers  App  in  Australia  and 
New  Zealand.  Since  September  2018, 
more  than  700,000  customers  have 
downloaded  the  Coupon  App,  giving 
customers improved value on individual 
menu  items  and  meals.  The  Coupon 
App provides Domino’s Pizza Japan an 
important, additional marketing channel 
for existing and new customers.

OPERATIONAL
EXCELLENCE

Domino’s  Japan  recognises  Project 
3TEN  is  as  relevant  to  delivery  and 
carry-out customers in Japan as in other 
international markets. 

Just  as  our  customers  value  our  focus 
on improved menu offerings, and a more 
seamless ordering experience, they also 
value their time – and all team members 
are  committed  to  delivering  on  that 
expectation. In the prior Financial Year, 
Domino’s launched 20 Minute Mission, 
demonstrating to customers Domino’s 
market-leading  ability  to  target,  and 
achieve,  deliveries  in  faster  than  20 
minutes. 

This  year  a  nationwide  roadshow  – 
building  on  the  success  of  20  Minute 
Mission  –  focused  on  safely  reducing 
delivery  times.  Franchisees,  store 
managers  and  team  members  learnt 
best practice lessons from other regions 
and  were  committed  to  challenging 
themselves to materially reduce delivery 
times. 

After  Domino’s  Netherlands  set  a  new 
global benchmark for fast, safe deliveries, 
Domino’s Japan were determined to re-
take  the  crown  as  the  world’s  fastest 
delivery team. After significant planning 
and  commitment  from  every  team 
member, the Yotsuya Yonchome store 
set a new benchmark for delivery with a 
new world record for Domino’s deliveries 
– averaging 2 minutes 38 seconds for an 
entire week. 

Menu and digital innovations lifted weekly 
sales  and  customer  counts  across  the 
country, including during the Christmas 
period – traditionally the busiest time for 
Domino’s Pizza Japan. 

It  has  taken  a  whole  team  effort  to 
respond  to  this  challenge.  This  year 
additional preparation and planning was 

implemented  to  cater  for  heightened 
demand – expected to be many multiples 
of typical daily volume – and the Domino’s 
Pizza  Japan  team  delivered.  Online 
ordering volumes surged to five times the 
normal daily volume of online ordering, 
with almost 700,000 pizzas sold online 
in the week leading up to New Year’s Eve. 
In all, 128 stores broke their monthly sales 
record in December. 

The  planning  and  execution  ensured 
team members were able to deliver for 
our  customers  during  other  periods 
of  high  demand,  including  this  year’s 
“Golden Week” celebrations – 10 days of 
consecutive national public holidays.

than comparable jobs. 

training  program  to  help  managers 
learn the fundamental components of 
running  a  successful  Domino’s  store 
–  and  a  bonus  system  that  rewards 
high achievement. It’s a model that is 
delivering results. 

While  the 
initial  pay  was  what 
encouraged Kazuya to join Domino’s, it 
has been the opportunities available to 
him that have kept him in the Company.  

Kazuya  worked  as  a  delivery  driver 
for  four  years  before  becoming  a 
manager  in  training,  ensuring  he  had 
the fundamental understanding of what 
is needed for a high performing store. 
It  was  that  knowledge  that  saw  him 
nominated  as  Japan’s  best  manager, 
and opened up more job opportunities, 
including becoming a franchisee himself. 

And  it  is  those  opportunities  that  he 
is delivering to other young managers 
who want to build their own Domino’s 
careers. 

Using  his  background  as  a  highly-
regarded  store  manager,  Kazuya  has 
built  a  successful  operational  and 

“I am very proud of my store managers. 
Every  single  manager  has  achieved  a 
5 star OER rating* and won domestic 
awards.    I  really  love  to  see  how  my 
managers exceed my expectations.” 

Kazuya’s plans for the next stage of his 
Domino’s journey includes becoming 
the  dominant  pizza  restaurant  in  the 
Kyoto and Nara prefectures, developing 
new  territories  in  West  Japan  and 
supporting  his  store  managers  to 
become franchisees themselves. 

The  most  important  lesson  I  have 
learned within Domino’s: 
CAN DO!!

If  I  could  give  any  advice  to  a  driver 
starting their Domino’s career today, it 
would be: Always set your own goals!

EUROPE overview WITH CEO

ANDREW RENNIE

This  year  has  been  one  of  significant 
achievements  for  the  Domino’s  Pizza 
Enterprises  business  in  Europe.  From 
setting a new world record for deliveries, 
to  developing  new  technology  that  is 
positioning  Domino’s  as  the  favourite 
pizza  brand  in  all  of  our  markets,  and 
reducing  delivery  times  as  a  focus  on 
Project  3TEN  –  the  teams  in  all  of  our 
countries have delivered innovations they 
can be proud of. 

This  year  we  passed  a  significant 
milestone  of  1000  Domino’s  branded 
stores in Europe. It is perhaps even more 
significant for our long-term outlook that 
this  milestone  means  we  are  not  even 
at the halfway point to delivering on our 
plans for the business in Europe, and our 
long-term outlook of 2850 stores. This 
year that outlook was increased following 
the strategic acquisitions of two smaller 
markets  in  Luxembourg  and  Denmark, 
and because of our positive outlook on 
the future of our Belgium operations. 

In  the  coming  years  we  intend  for 
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises business in 
Europe to be the largest single driver of 
revenue  in  our  business.  To  get  there, 
we will work hard every day to deliver for 
our customers; preparing and delivering 
pizzas  fast  and  safely  under  Project 
3TEN, and with ongoing menu and digital 
innovation  that  make  our  customers’ 
orders more convenient, and tasty, than 

ever before. I am very pleased with the 
performance  in  all  of  our  markets  this 
year delivering on this strategy. From the 
successful  trial  of  a  loyalty  program  in 
the Netherlands, and the development 
of  some  very  popular  seasonal  menu 
offerings  in  France,  through  to  the 
unrivalled speed in converting 124 Hallo 
Pizza  stores  to  Domino’s  stores  in 
Germany. Our teams are working 
hard  every  day  to  deliver  for 
customers, for our franchisees, 
and for investors. 

In  all  countries  our 
franchisees  are  essential 
partners in this approach; 
building their businesses 
while  training  the  next 
team 
generation  of 
members, store managers 
and  future  franchisees  who 
will  help  Domino’s  deliver  our 
planned growth. 

I  am  very  pleased 
to 
provide  this  update  on 
the  achievements  of  the 
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises 
European  business  for  this 
year,  and  look  forward  to 
continuing  to  deliver  on  our 
plan in the year ahead.

to a home, workplace, or even a park. Our food 
innovation  is  also  localised,  so  that  we  delight 
customers  with  local  flavours,  and  traditional 
favourites they have grown to love.  This year our 
food innovation has delivered on this approach 
across Europe.

In  France,  Domino’s  has  delivered 
a  range  of  new  menu  items,  from 
seasonal limited time offerings, through 
to new crust options, to new sides and 
snacks. 

Our  new  Cal’z  range  –  Calzone 
sandwiches – has added an attractive 
new  option,  particularly  for  carry-
out  customers  looking  for  a  single-
person meal. The Cal’z range includes 
Domino’s popular mozzarella, as well 
as meat and fish choices including roast 
chicken, ground beef and tuna. 

Our  pizza  offerings  have  been  built 
out  with  new  crusts  (including  the 
Hot Dog crust for a limited time), new 
ingredients including chorizo, and new 
recipes including two targeted at our 
vegetarian and vegan customers. 

Our  development  kitchen  has  also 
created  a  uniquely  French  dessert 
–  Caramel  Bread  –  a  delicious  treat 
delivering  great  value  for  both 
customers and franchisees. 

Domino’s  France  this  year  brought 
back one of our most popular seasonal 
offerings  –  Raclette  –  to  the  menu. 
The Raclette Pizza, with its trademark 
melted cheese and unique flavour, has 
been a very popular addition for the 
winter months, and its return this year 
was welcomed by customers, coupled 
with the addition of a new, Fondue Pizza 
to the range. 

After  making  changes  to  our  core 
pizza  offering,  including  enhancing 
our pizza sauce in the prior financial 
year,  Domino’s  Germany  has  added 
additional menu offerings aimed at new 
customers, and new menu occasions. 

In the Benelux, Domino’s introduced 
three  new  pizza  range  offerings 
including  the  Winter  Warms  range 
–  with  traditional  Dutch  flavours 
Boerenkool and Rookworst (kale and 
smoked sausage).  

Our  goal  is  to  delivery  more  options 
to customers, so they can choose the 
flavours, menu offering, and occasion, 
that suits their appetite and occasion.

Domino’s  Germany  now  offers  two 
vegan pizzas, adding the Ventura Vegan 
Pizza to the Cape Verde  Pizza, which 
have been well received by this growing 
customer base. 

Our local development team have also 
introduced two new wraps, particularly 
aimed  at  the  lunch  market,  with  a 
vegetarian (Greco) wrap, and a spicy 
chicken wrap. 

Domino’s  Germany  continues  to 
innovate  with  the  core  pizza  menu, 
including a Geschmack von Welt (Taste 
of the World) range, featuring popular 
offerings  from  around  the  world 
including BBQ Chipotle Chicken Pizza. 

With thickshakes adding an important 
additional pillar to our menu offering 
in  other  regions,  initial  testing  of 
thickshakes in selected markets have 
shown promising results. 

Our  customers  loved  our  cheese-
focused promotion featuring Beemster 
(a traditional Dutch cheese) on three 
limited time offer pizzas, and Gouda 
cheese nuggets as a tasty side. 

More recently, customers welcomed 
the  roasted  range,  meeting  a  broad 
range of appetites with pizzas featuring 
roasted chicken and roasted beef, as 
well  as  a  new  vegan  pizza  featuring 
roasted vegetables. 

Our dessert offering continues to be 
strong in the Netherlands and this year 
we launched the Choco Lotta Pizza – 
15cm, Belgian-chocolate rich dessert, 
that  adds  an  important  option  for 
customers sharing a meal. 

Thickshakes have now been rolled out 
to all stores in the Netherlands, with 
three traditional flavours – Strawberry, 
Vanilla  and  Belgian  Chocolate  –  and 
three premium flavours; Iced Coffee, 
Triple Chocolate and Creamy Cookie. 
This popular, all-natural product, is now 
in initial testing in Belgium. Domino’s 
Netherlands has also recently launched 
‘The Big One’ – our largest pizza ever, 
delivering four different recipes in one, 
aimed at special events and gatherings.

DIGITAL
INNOVATION

Digital innovation continues to deliver 
benefits for Domino’s customers and 
in-store team members. Our goal is to 
use technology to make our kitchens 
more  efficient,  and  our  customers 
ordering experience more seamless. 

Key projects in our European business 
have delivered on this goal this year, but 
we recognise that continued innovation 
to  keep  up  with,  and  ahead  of,  our 
customers’ expectations is essential 
for our future growth. 

France 
Our owned digital marketing channels, 
particularly email and SMS, give us an 
opportunity to provide great value to 
our customers – growing both order 
frequency  and  average  ticket  –  and 
increased  sales  for  franchisees. 
The  success  of  this  approach  was 
demonstrated  with  record  breaking 
online sales for Black Friday and Cyber 
Monday – two traditionally US-based 
shopping  holidays  aimed  at  value-
driven consumers that have grown in 
France. 

Domino’s France broke its own records 
for  online  ordering,  order  counts, 
total  network  sales  volume,  and  the 
percentage of orders driven from email. 

Domino’s aim is to ensure customers 
using  our  app  get  the  best  possible 
experience,  and  the  Company  has 
partnered with Rakuten TV to become 
the official delivery company of chill 
nights in with My Movie – offering the 
possibility for customers to purchase 
movies and television shows with their 
favourite pizzas.  

This year Domino’s France launched 
Domino’s My Spot – allowing customers 
to drop a location-based pin using their 
mobile app to have pizzas delivered 
wherever they are. 

Germany 
A single brand, and single technology 
platform, will deliver benefits for our 
franchisees and customers.

With  the  successful  conversion 
of  acquired  Hallo  Pizza  stores  to 
Domino’s,  our  team  in  Germany 
has  been  able  to  leverage  our  own 
marketing channels, delivering positive 
initial results. These efforts have seen 
a  double-digital  increase  in  email 
subscribers, significant take-up of our 
new  web  push  notification  channel, 
and delivered a record week of sales 
generated through the Offers App. 

With  a  higher  store  penetration 
and  ability  to  reach  more  areas  of 
Germany than ever before, Domino’s 
has  launched  a  local  equivalent  of 
“Order Anywhere”, Domino’s Überall. 
With  similar  functionality  to  the 
offering  in  France,  and  building  on 
the successes from the Benelux and 
Australia/New Zealand, our local stores 
expect this will become an increasingly 
popular way customers will order, as 
customers recognise its simplicity and 
convenience. 

The  speed  of  orders,  for  carry-out 
and  delivery,  remains  an  important 
differentiator for Domino’s customers, 
and Domino’s Germany has reinforced 
this with the launch of a 15-minute pick-
up guarantee, launched in the Second 
Half. This guarantee has already proven 
popular  with  time-poor  customers 
looking  for  new  lunch  options.  To 
help give Domino’s kitchens the edge 
on  delivering  to  our  customers  fast, 
Domino’s unique predictive ordering 
has  been  installed  in  trial  stores  in 
Germany    showing  positive  initial 
results. 

Together,  these  digital  innovations 
helped Domino’s Germany set a new 
record for online sales in the First Half. 

Our  digital  initiatives  are  not  only 
focused on benefits for our customers. 
Domino’s Germany this year rolled out 
a new print portal, for Franchisees to 
access to deliver local store marketing 
faster, and at a lower cost. 

Benelux*
Our digital development team in the 
Benelux  continue  to  lead  the  way 
for  our  European  business,  and  for 
Domino’s  Pizza  Enterprises  more 
broadly.  After  pioneering  multiple 
successful digital innovations that have 
delivered dividends in other markets, 
the team are committed to continued 
improvement. 

This year the team successfully trialled 
a  customer  loyalty  program  in  the 
Netherlands, offering customers the 
ability  to  earn  points  for  every  pizza 
and be rewarded for their loyalty with 
free  pizzas.  Other  Domino’s  Pizza 
Enterprises  countries  are  working 
closely with our Netherlands team to 
determine if, and how, a loyalty program 
would suit their local customers. 

The  Benelux  team  launched  two 
initiatives  to  help  customers  enjoy 
sharing  meals  even  more.  Domino’s 
Netherlands  now  offers  payment 
integration  with  Tikkie  –  the  first 
platform to allow friends to pay each 
other  back  quickly  and  simply  over 
WhatsApp.  The  development  team 
also launched the Domino’s Dating App, 
which matches potential dates using 
one of the most important criteria for 
relationship success – their favourite 
pizza. The Dating App demonstrates 
once again Domino’s position as the 
brand that delivers for customers. The 
announcement of the Dating App made 
international news as an innovative and 
fun way to connect pizza lovers. 

For carry-out customers, the team has 
launched a 15 minute pickup guarantee 
during lunch hours, driving more sales 
during this important meal occasion. 

The success of Domino’s investment 
in  continued  digital  innovation  was 
demonstrated in the First Half when 
more  than  95%  of  deliveries  in  the 
Benelux were placed online.

OPERATIONAL
EXCELLENCE

Project 3TEN – where stores aim to prepare a carry-out 
order  in  three  minutes,  and  deliver  it  safely  within  10 
minutes,  is  central  to  our  European  business.  Some 
stores  have  set  world  records  this  year,  setting  the 
standard for the rest of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises, as 
well as other master franchisees globally. Other stores 
have set records for their towns, their regions and their 
countries. But what is most important to us is the con-
tinual journey of improvement that all stores are taking. 
Even if they have not broken a global record, they are 
working each day to safely reduce their delivery times 
– impressing their customers, winning new customers 
and improving their store operations and profitability.

Three 
demonstrated  the  possibilities  of 
Project  3TEN  this  year,  with  other 
franchisees and corporate managers 
learning from their experiences. The 
Lyon  7  Sud  store  narrowly  missed 
breaking 10 minutes average delivery 
time for a week (10 minutes 2 seconds), 
while Le Rheu (8 minutes 59 seconds) 
and Paris 16 Sud (8 minutes 51 seconds) 
demonstrated sub-10 minute delivery 
times  are  achievable.  This  is  an 
important  milestone  for  our  French 
business, which team members intend 
to surpass in the coming year. 

In  our  last  Annual  Report,  Domino’s 
France celebrated the success of the 
Product  Master  program,  a  program 
developed 
in  consultation  with 
Domino’s Pizza International to train 
in-store product ‘masters’ who teach 
operational excellence to other team 
members. The success of this program 
has now seen it rolled out to all existing 
and new stores in France. 

recognises 

This  program 
the 
importance  of  investing  in  our  team 
members.  The  culture  and  growth 
opportunities  in  our  business  sees 
our best managers taking the step to 
become franchisees. Domino’s France 
has recognised this opportunity and 
developed  a  new  Emerging  Leaders 
program  to  provide  even  more 
opportunities  to  young,  emerging 
leaders to reach their potential. The 
program, built in partnership with the 
Chamber of Commerce and Industry, 
helps to give team members the keys 
to  small  business  ownership.  This 
year,  four  participants  in  the  first 
class  of  10  Emerging  Leaders,  have 
become  franchisees  themselves. 

Germany 
Our  team  in  Germany  surpassed 
expectations  this  year  with  the 
successful integration of 124 Hallo Pizza 
stores into the Domino’s business. Not 
only  were  11  more  stores  converted 
than  the  original  business  plan  on 
acquisition, but also the speed of the 
transition outpaced similar conversions 
for Domino’s Pizza Enterprises. 
Significant investment has been made 
this year in training and development 

of  franchisees,  store  managers  and 
team members, to ensure the German 
business has world-class operations. 
This investment is already delivering 
results. 

Domino’s  Germany  trained  220 
team  members,  a  record,  through 
the company’s internal Management 
Training  Program.  This  provides 
essential  training  to  upskill  existing 
managers,  enabling  them  in  turn  to 
coach  and  lift  performance  in  their 
store. The first German store to receive 
a 100% mark on Domino’s OER audit (a 
measure of alignment with Domino’s 
operational  requirements  and  food 
safety  and  handling)  was  achieved 
this Financial Year. This performance 
was  a  direct  result  of  the  increased 
focus  on  operational  performance 
and customers are also noticing the 
improvement – customer satisfaction 
scores  reached  a  record  high  in  the 
First Half, setting a new challenge for 
the team to exceed. 

Two stores set new delivery records 
for the country, with the Berlin Mitte 
store  achieving  a  week  of  deliveries 
in  13  minutes  55  seconds,  and  the 
Hamburg Eimsbüttel store achieving 
15  minutes  and  19  seconds.  These 
records are among the best in class for 
Germany, but the team in Germany are 
committed to matching, and beating, 
their colleagues‘ performance in France 
and the Benelux.

Benelux* 
Several 
initiatives  over  the  past 
few  years  have  demonstrated  the 
operational excellence of the Domino’s 
team in Belgium and the Netherlands. 
With the acquisition of Luxembourg, 
and the planned opening of our first 
store  in  the  country  this  calendar 
year, the team remain committed to 
continued improvement. 

The  Groningen  store  epitomised 
this approach, targeting a new World 
Record for the Domino’s system, under 
five  minutes  for  an  average  delivery 
across  an  entire  week.  Colleagues 
from  Domino’s  Pizza  International 
filmed a documentary on the effort to 
teach other master franchisees what 
is  possible,  and  the  team  set  a  new 

benchmark of 3 minutes 36 seconds 
average delivery time for one week in 
the First Half. As a business, we never 
believe we have arrived, and are always 
seeking  our  next  challenge.  After 
Domino’s  Pizza  Japan  subsequently 
surpassed  this  world  record  effort, 
Domino’s Benelux are eager to once 
again  show  customers,  and  other 
Domino’s markets what’s possible. 

The  Benelux 
team  measure 
every  aspect  of  their  operational 
performance  and  challenge  stores 
to  grow  with  regular  competitions 
targeting  areas  for  improvement. 
Previously  one  store  each  week 
was  celebrated  for  their  operations 
improvements (for e.g., reducing the 
time  required  for  deliveries  to  leave 
the store). Now, individual competitions 
focused  on  operational  and  sales 
targets  have  increased  buy-in  from 
stores  across  the  country.  Each  win 
by an individual team is celebrated by 
the store and by peers on our online 
network, Workplace. 

The priority operations project for the 
Benelux  team  is  a  Train  the  Trainer 
program  –  aimed  at  store  managers 
who  will  then  be  able  to  deliver  new 
skills  to  their  own  team  members. 
Where  previous  training  has  been 
designed  to  reduce  bottlenecks  in 
stores,  making  deliveries  and  carry-
out orders faster, the new training adds 
important additional new skill sets. 

Initial training is focused on enhanced 
rostering (to maximise both customer 
service and store profitability) as well 
as dough and product master classes. 
Because more customers are choosing 
to  dine-in  at  Domino’s  stores,  team 
members  are  receiving  hospitality 
training to deliver better service to this 
customer group. 

The increased training and hard work 
of  our  team  members  is  delivering 
results – product quality and customer 
satisfaction  (Net  Promoter  Scores) 
have increased, and the Benelux team 
is  committed  to  delivering  ongoing 
improvements.

Like  many  successful  Domino’s

Domino’s was hiring.” That was 17 years

plans  for  further  expansion.  The  key 
to  his  success  has  been  ensuring  his 
team members have the best possible 
training. He first built a training program 
in Nantes that is still delivering results; 
the graduates of that program are still 
working in Nantes, or have joined Tahar 
in his new business in Rennes. 

Since that time Tahar has progressed 
from being a delivery driver, to a leader. 
He is determined for his team to follow 
in his footsteps.

“In  fact,  every  time  I  train  a  new 
employee, I think that I may be training 
my  replacement.  They  must  be  well 
trained.” 

Tahar’s Domino’s journey started slower 
than some franchisees, spending eight 
years before becoming a store manager, 
first  as  a  delivery  driver,  then  a  pizza 
maker  and  assistant  manager.  But  it 
was that deep understanding of every 
aspect  of  store  operations  that  saw 
him recognised as the best manager in 
France when he took the next step, and 
won multiple awards along the way. 

Tahar has now built a successful multi-
unit franchise business with four stores 
in Rennes, which he credits as one of 
his greatest achievements so far, with 

The  most  important  lesson  I  have 
learned  within  Domino’s:  Before  I 
thought  that  I  did  not  need  anyone 
to  move  forward  but  once  I  arrived,  I 
quickly realised that without my teams I 
was just a manager among many others.

“I  want  to  inspire  and  thrill  people

A motivational saying I live by: 
Love  what  you  do!  Look  for  the 
challenge! Where there is a will, there 
is a way! Think positive – always! Never 
stop learning and training! 

If  I  could  give  any  advice  to  a  driver 
starting  their  Domino’s  career  today, 
what would it be? Work hard and have 
fun with it! Again, anything is possible! 

Philipp  Servo  didn’t  initially  choose 
to  join  Domino’s.  He  had  built  a 
successful  career  as  a  Joey’s  pizza 
chain franchisee when Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises  acquired  the  chain.  But 
despite the unexpected change, what 
hasn’t changed is the direction of his 
business: up. Since joining Domino’s, 
Philipp’s already-successful multi-unit 
business has doubled. 

Just two years after starting as a delivery 
driver,  where  he  first  discovered  his 
passion  for  pizza,  Philipp  progressed 
through store management to become a 
franchisee, and then a multi-unit owner 
three  years  after  that.  Along  the  way 
he has grown his network, and weekly 
sales, and won a sweep of awards for 
his leadership. Despite this success,  he 
considers his greatest achievement his 
two sons. 

Philipp describes his business career 
as 13 years of pizza passion, and he has 
passed on that passion to everyone he 
has worked with. While Philipp started 
his career as an industrial management 
assistant,  he  saw  the  pizza  business 
as  an  opportunity  to  become  self-
employed.

Pizza  is  the  perfect  sharing  meal  –

Just as we share meals, we also share

we share these communities not just 
with our customers, but also with our

to make our communities better for all. 
We believe this is the right thing to do, 
for our people, our business, and our

We  aim  to  do  this 
in  four  key

environment, and food. 

Since our humble beginnings we have 
been  working  to  do  the  right  thing, 
with  local  franchisees  helping  the 
community  through  sponsorships, 
in-kind  support  and  disaster  relief. 
We have added measurable targets,

The Domino’s Board and management 
passionately believe in the importance 
of the franchising model in delivering 
for our business and our people. Both 
the Domino’s Board and management 
team include among their ranks former 
franchisees whom have had significant 
experience  in  growing  successful 
Domino’s businesses.

The  franchising  model  has  allowed 
entrepreneurial small business owners 
to create business opportunities for 
them and their families, thousands of 
jobs for their team members, as well 
as valuable investments in their local 
communities. Through their ownership 
in  Domino’s  Pizza  Enterprises  Ltd, 
our  shareholders  benefit  from  the 
franchising model, and the energy and 
commitment of our franchisees.

Australian 
Parliamentary inquiry
In March 2018 the Australian Senate 
referred an inquiry into the operation 
and effectiveness of the Franchising 
Code of Conduct to the Parliamentary 
Joint Committee on Corporations and 
Financial Services (Inquiry). Domino’s 
Pizza  Enterprises  Ltd  welcomed  the 
opportunity to provide a submission to 
the Inquiry, outlining the contribution 
of  franchising  to  the  growth  of  our 
business as well as opportunities for 
improvement  in  the  operation  and 
regulation  of  the  franchising  model. 
The  submission  (available  online1) 
provided  a  detailed  explanation  of 
the  Domino’s  business  model  and 
its  relationships  with  franchisees 
and  other  stakeholders;  outlined 
the  support  that  Domino’s  provides 
to  franchisees;  and  summarised 
Domino’s views on the Inquiry and the 
Franchising Code of Conduct. While 
Domino’s considers that in many areas 
its operations are best practice, we also 

recognise our performance is based 
on  our  commitment  to  continuous 
improvement, which we reaffirm here.

In  March  2019,  the  Parliamentary 
Committee that conducted the Inquiry 
released a report (Report) containing 
a  number  of  recommendations, 
including  proposed  changes  to  the 
Franchising Code of Conduct and to 
the responsibilities and powers of the 
Australian Competition and Consumer 
Commission.

In  the  first  instance,  the  Committee 
recommended  the  establishment 
of  an 
inter-agency  Franchising 
Taskforce  to  examine  the  feasibility 
and  implementation  of  many  of  the 
Committee’s recommendations. While 
this  has  not  yet  occurred,  and  may 
take some time, Domino’s is reviewing 
these recommendations, to the extent 
applicable to the Domino’s model, with 
a view to identifying opportunities to 
improve the Domino’s business. 

Wages compliance
The  Inquiry  Report  outlines  the 
significant contribution of our people to 
the Domino’s business. The collective 
efforts of tens of thousands of team 
members is essential to the ongoing 
success  of  our  stores,  franchisees 
and Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd. 
Our people must be rewarded for this 
effort, through fair wage systems, and 
the correct payment of team members 
in accordance with these systems. This 
is our unwavering commitment.

In Australia, Domino’s has been taking 
action  since  2014  when  it  identified 
that some team members had been 
deliberately  underpaid  their  correct 
wages and entitlements by franchisees.
Over  the  past  five  years,  Domino’s 
has taken a multi-pronged approach 
to  addressing  this  behaviour.  We

have  ensured  our  franchisees  are 
clearly  trained  on  their  obligations, 
that  systems  are  in  place  to  assist 
franchisees  to  avoid  inadvertently 
breaching  these  obligations,  and 
adding teams and tools to identify (and 
remove from our business) those who 
deliberately  mistreat  our  people  by 
breaching these obligations.

A comprehensive review from Deloitte 
in 2017 recommended seven actions. 
Domino’s has implemented all of these 
actions  through  the  establishment 
of  the  Domino’s  Employment  Law 
Compliance Program, which included 
the development of an independent 
whistleblower  hotline,  information 
about the hotline distributed to every 
store in Australia (including mandatory 
posters  in-store),  and  a  predictive, 
risk-based data analytic compliance 
dashboard.  A  small  number  (22)  of 
concerns  regarding  underpayments 
were  raised  through  the  hotline 
this  Financial  Year,  all  of  which  were 
investigated. While not all were found 
to  be  valid,  the  hotline  remains  an 
important,  independent  avenue  for 
team members to raise any concerns, 
confident  they  will  be  appropriately 
investigated  and,  where  necessary, 
swift action will be taken.

In  addition,  Domino’s  is  continuing 
to broaden our compliance activities 
across the network through a continual 
review and improve exercise.

We  continue  to  invest  in  our  people 
and in ensuring our team members are 
fairly, and correctly, paid for their work. 

OUR 
PEOPLE

Our  people  are  essential  to  our 
future  growth.  Our  people  are  the 
more than 50,000 team members 
working 
in  stores,  offices  and 
commissaries in eight countries. This 
Annual Report features just some of 
the most successful of those team 
members  –  our  franchisees  from 
around the world. Each shares the 
experience  of  having  worked  as 
team members in stores, developing 
a deep understanding not only of the 
requirements to operate a successful 
Domino’s store, but also the empathy 
that  comes  from  the  hard  work 
required of the many thousands of 
young people employed in Domino’s 
as the first roles in their careers. 

Domino’s is committed to being an 
employer  of  choice,  providing  not 
only  fun  and  rewarding  jobs,  but 
also  an  environment  where  team 
members  are  recognised  for  their 
passion, hard work, and commitment, 
not  their  educational  background, 
ethnicity or sexuality. 

Domino’s is proud of the opportunities 
available  to  our  people,  whether 
a  part-time  job  to  support  team 

members  while  studying,  or  a  full-
time  career.  Through  a  focus  on 
internal  recruitment,  professional 
development, and support for young 
managers  becoming  franchisees, 
young team members can start as 
delivery drivers or dish washers, and 
aspire to manage teams, or become 
Chief Executive.

We  recognise  the  responsibility 
of  ensuring  our  people  work  in  a 
safe environment, free from harm; 
whether  physical  injury,  bullying 
or  harassment.  This  also  includes 
proudly paying amongst the highest 
rates 
industry,  training 
programs that deliver team members 
qualifications recognised by industry, 
and creating opportunities for growth 
and development within.  

in  our 

Domino’s  stores  are  safe  working 
environments,  free  of  deep  fryers 
and other equipment that may pose 
a risk in other fast food businesses. 
Nonetheless, we recognise that there 
are external factors which may risk 
team member safety, and we have 
implemented multiple initiatives to 
reduce these risks.

Delivery 
driver/ rider
safety 

For  their  safety,  and  that  of  the 
local  community,  team  members 
are  required  to  demonstrate  they 
understand  and  will  follow,  local 
road rules before they can deliver for 
Domino’s. 

This is especially so for our delivery 
drivers  and  riders,  on  scooters, 
motorbikes  and  electric  bicycles, 
delivering hot, freshly prepared meals 
each day.

It is a common misunderstanding that 
our commitment to delivery quickly 
and our delivery guarantees require 
a team member to speed to deliver 
a meal on time. Instead, customers 
are  only  offered  the  option  of  a  15 
minute or 20 minute guaranteed meal 
where our algorithms determine it is 
possible for this to be delivered safely 
by a team member. 

Our GPS Driver Tracker technology 
–  available  in  all  countries  except 
Germany  and  France  (both  of 
which  are  planned  for  upcoming 
roll-out) – measures every delivery, 
monitoring  to  track  speed  and 
harshness  of  driving,  for  review  by 
store  management  and  Domino’s 
Operations  teams.  Even  where 
this  technology  is  not  yet  in  place, 
the safety of our team members is 
paramount,  with  Domino’s  France 
launching a road safety training 

program  with  the  Vigi2roues 
Association. The program increases 
manager  awareness  of  risks  for 
riders and adds additional coaching 
including  relating  to  protective 
clothing and scooter safety. 

Domino’s policy is clear – the rush is in 
the store, not on the street. We do not 
encourage, expect, or tolerate team 
members breaking local road rules, 
including exceeding the speed limit, 
for any reason. Our local franchisees 
and operations team members are 
best placed to judge local weather 
conditions, and team members can 
opt not to undertake deliveries if they 
believe local weather conditions are 
not safe to do so. 

Domino’s  recognises  the  potential 
risk  of  robbery,  in  our  stores  and 
of  our  delivery  drivers.  No  money, 
or  meal,  is  worth  any  risk  to  team 
member  safety.  Domino’s  has 
extensive  risk  reduction  practices 
in place to reduce the opportunity 
for  theft  of  our  drivers  and  team 
members.  For  the  safety  of  our 
team  members,  not  all  of  these 
procedures can be outlined here. As 
one indication, more deliveries than 
ever in our history are cashless, with 
the meal ordered and paid for online.

Rider safety
Australia

Domino’s  understands  that 
sometimes,  there  are  risks  to 
our  delivery  drivers  beyond  our 
control, including the inattention or 
dangerous behaviour of other road 
users. But we can do everything in 
our control to reduce the risks to 
our team members. 

This  year  we  implemented  a 
new Safe Delivery Procedure for 
Australian delivery experts. Where 
team  members  must  review 
and  acknowledge  the  relevant 
procedures via our online training 
portal Dotti. 

The  new  procedures  set  our 
specific requirements for e-bike 
riders and scooter delivery riders.

Ebikes 

Scooters 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Increasing the minimum riding age 
from 15-years-old to 16. 

Introducing  a  minimum  licensing 
requirement of a learners permit 
(to ensure a strong, demonstrated 
understanding of road rules). 

A documented requirement for a 
complete daily e-bike safety check 
to ensure each e-bike is safe and 
suitable for use. 

A documented requirement not to 
hand-hold a mobile phone (which is 
illegal) or to use headphones while 
delivering,  to  remove  distraction 
and  the  potential  for  decreased 
awareness of traffic conditions. 

Documented  wet  weather 
requirements for light rain, fog and 
other inclement weather. 

In  December  2018,  Domino’s 
updated our rider uniform to allow 
for riding in shorts, instead of long 
pants, to help manage heat stress. 

Domino’s  launched  a  Scooter  Safety 
training module created in conjunction 
with the Australian Motorcycle Academy 
and drawing on resources from various 
bodies including: WA Government Road 
Safety Commission; Motorcycle Riders 
Association  of  WA;  WA  Government 
&  National  Road  Safety  Commission; 
NSW  Roads  &  Maritime  Service;  QLD 
Department  of  Transport  and  Main 
Roads; Motorcycle Council of NSW Inc. 

The training is focused on roadcraft skills 
and an understanding of: 

• 

• 

• 

How  to  adapt  to  various  road 
conditions. 

The  importance  of  rider  attitude 
and safe riding. 

Recognising  hazards  and  taking 
action to reduce the likelihood of 
accidents.  

•  More than 4300 scooter delivery 
experts  have  completed  this 
training module

SAFETY
NETHERLANDS

In Rotterdam, robberies are not only 
an issue for Domino’s, but for other 
delivery  companies,  local  residents 
and homeowners. 

Domino’s Netherlands was concerned 
about the risk to drivers from robberies 
and was determined to take tangible 
action  to  reduce  the  likelihood  of 
injury  to  team  members.  Domino’s 
franchisees Menno van Eijk and Maurijn 
Boelsma worked with police, and local 
government to equip delivery riders 
with body cameras. 

The cameras can be switched on at 
the touch of a button, recording any 
person who may be a risk to the team 
member, as well as alerting a central 
control room of a potential incident. 

In  addition  to  GPS  Driver  Tracker 
technology,  which  monitors  where 
every delivery expert is at any time, 
the cameras have added another layer 
of safety to the Domino’s business. 

They  can  even  be  used  for  other 
emergencies, where help is needed.  
The introduction of body cameras has 
been just one part of a drive to reduce 
the risk to our Dutch team members. 
Seven Domino’s stores in Rotterdam 
have  eliminated  cash  entirely  from 
their  stores,  along  with  another  11 
stores nationwide. Other stores have 
eliminated cash at night, with orders 
required  to  be  paid  with  bank  card, 
or online. Not only has this increased 
team member safety, but also store 
efficiency, with less time required to 
count money and reconcile cash at 
the end of each shift. 

Minister  for  Justice  and  Security 
Ferdinand  Grapperhaus  has 
encouraged  other  cities  to  monitor 
the  work  being  done  in  Rotterdam, 
and the lessons they can apply in their 
local communities. Domino’s is also 
reviewing the lessons of this approach 
for implementing in other cities.

NEW ZEALAND

Japan  has  experienced  very  low 
unemployment,  with  an  ageing 
workforce and a tightening labour 
market. 

Domino’s  Pizza  Japan  has 
recognised  the  importance  of 
building  a  strong  and  vibrant 
workforce to grow the business in 
the  years  ahead.  Management  is 
committed to ensuring the company 
builds its employment base from all 
societal segments, including those 
that have traditionally been under-
represented in other businesses. 

Domino’s  Pizza  Japan  President 
and CEO Josh Kilimnik: “We need to 
attract and retain the best possible 
team  members,  franchisees, 
corporate,  as  well  as  head  office 

staff. It’s not just about becoming 
an employer of choice for one select 
group of people. It’s all inclusive.” 

Domino’s  Pizza  Japan  has  made 
changes to its business operations 
to reflect this inclusive approach, 
modernising  conditions  of 
employment, including in relation 
to maternity and paternity leave. 

Domino’s  is  also  offering  flexible 
work arrangements, and leveraging 
in 
recent  regulation  changes 
relation  to  hiring  foreign  workers. 
To  ensure  these  team  members 
are  welcomed,  and  adopt  the 
Domino’s culture and passion for 
pizza, training programs have been 
updated  to  allow  for  some  to  be 
completed in different languages. 

For  multi-unit  Franchisee  Rishi 
Sharma,  giving  back  to  his 
community and offering a helping 
hand  is  at  the  very  heart  of  his 
business.  Recently,  after  hearing 
about the plight of refugees trying to 
settle in to a new life in New Zealand, 
he contacted the Prime Minister’s 
office to see what he could do to 
help. He is now working with the Red 

Cross to get refugees into work and 
has  already  hired  two  new  team 
members in his stores.

Part-time evening work is perfect 
for team members who are often 
not  ready  to  commit  to  full  time 
positions  as  they  settle  in  to  a 
new country, but they are keen to 
contribute to their new societies.

maternity leave for team members, 
ranging  from  a  minimum  of  eight 
weeks, up to a maximum of 14 weeks 
depending  on  the  team  member’s 
length of continuous service.

We  support  our  team  members, 
particularly in times of need, including 
through  a  range  of  flexible  working

We  support  our  LGBTIQ  team

Research shows team members who 
are  supported  in  being  open  about

helped deliver much-needed fodder, 
water  and  groceries  to  the  farming 
communities who were doing it tough.  

In  February  2019,  Domino’s 
Queensland stores raised vital funds 
to help fellow Queenslanders up north 
in  flood-affected  areas  via  the  Red 
Cross  Disaster  Relief  and  Recovery 
Fund. When it was safe to do so, teams 
from our eight Domino’s Townsville 

During  the  devastating  bushfires 
across  Tasmania  in  February  2019, 
Domino’s  stores  in  Rosny,  Hobart 
and  Kingston  rallied  together  to 
donate more than 360 pizzas to feed 
500 people who had been forced to 
evacuate their homes. 

When  Cyclone  Trevor  hit  in  March 
2019, Domino’s Darwin City and Millner 
stores supported emergency workers 
and people in evacuation centres with 
450 piping hot pizzas.  

In  true  Dominoid  spirit,  our  local 
franchisees and team members are 
always there when needed most. 

From  the  smallest  donation,  to  the 
largest initiative, these programs make 
a difference. 

Domino’s  previously  donated  50c 
from  every  choc  lava  cake  sold  in 
Australian stores, with the donations 
helping  vital  charities  throughout 
the  country.  But  team  members 
Mahia Lai and Cody Rutherford,  and 
franchisees, David Bird (Muswellbrook 
and Scone stores), and Chad Cable 
(multi-unit  franchisee,  Canberra) 
believed a small change could make 
an even bigger difference. 

They came up with the idea of allowing 
customers to ‘round up’ their end of 
order total price to the nearest dollar, 
with the extra small change donated to 
disaster relief and charity. 

More than 10 per cent of customers 
now choose to round up for charity; 
their  small  change  making  a  big 

difference  to  important  charities 
around  the  country.  More  than  2.4 
million  microdonations  have  been 
made  by  Domino’s  customers 
passionate about their small change 
making a big difference to a number of 
these community-led initiatives.  

The team in Australia aren’t the only 
Domino’s stores making a difference 
through small donations.  

In Belgium and the Netherlands, we 
organised a giving program for a limited 
time product, apple pie. €0.10 from 
every apple pie sold was given to ‘Met 
je Hart’ (With your Heart), a charity 
that  works  to  address  loneliness 
among the elderly. Domino’s stores 
also invited in local elderly residents 
to visit, to make pizza, and to share 
conversation.  

It’s a sweet way of helping those who 
need our help.

Case study – New Zealand 

Wastage removal 

Domino’s New Zealand is working with 
a  local  company,  UBCO,  to  trial  2x2 
electric bikes. The vehicles have more 
similarities  with  a  motorbike  than  a 
bicycle, providing riders two wheel drive, 
a lower centre of gravity, more power 
and increased stability. 

Domino’s  is  committed  to  reducing 
waste across all of our stores. 

It  may  surprise  many  that  Domino’s 
stores already generate far less food 
wastage  per  meal  than  the  average 
home. 

Domino’s  New  Zealand  General 
Manager  Cameron  Toomey  said: 
“Ontime  delivery  is  critical  to  the 
Domino’s brand and we’re excited to 
see  if  UBCO  can  deliver  –  so  far  our 
delivery team are loving the bikes and 
they’ve exceeded our expectations.” 

The vehicles have an impressive 120km 
maximum range on a single charge, and 
local stores in the trial are keeping an 
extra battery on hand for a quick swap 
if needed. 

It 
is  estimated  each  Australian 
household  discards  345kg  of  edible 
food each year. Yet despite the millions 
of meals prepared in Domino’s kitchens 
each  year,  food  wastage  is  reduced 
by  careful  stock  control,  regular 
stock  deliveries,  adherence  to  set 
recipes, and stock ordering based on 
anticipated sales.  

This is an area of social responsibility 
that  also  makes  good  business 
sense,  with  wasted  food  a  direct 
cost  to  franchisees  and  Domino’s 
corporate  store  network.  In  many 
stores,  managers  are  rewarded  for 
reducing  food  wastage.  Pizzas  that 
are safely prepared, that may not have 
been  made  to  a  customer’s  exact 
specifications, are frequently provided 
to the customer as an additional act of 
goodwill, rather than see the food go to 
waste. 

We are committed to reducing waste 
across all stores in Australia and New 
Zealand, particularly when it comes to 
food packaging, which is why our pizza 
boxes contain recycled papers. 

Our  pizza  boxes  are  suitable  for 
recycling  and  we  encourage  our 
customers to recycle our pizza boxes 
and food packaging, provided the local 
council recycling program permits it. 

Domino’s is reviewing other areas of 
operations to reduce wastage, including 
simplifying the number packaging items 
used for customers’ meals by stores in 
Australia and New Zealand.

Electric deliveries 

Domino’s is increasingly using electric 
vehicles to reduce the environmental 
impact  of  our  delivery  fleet.  Not  only 
do  electric  vehicles  reduce  carbon 
emissions,  but  they  are  also  quieter. 
Where  e-bikes  are  used,  they  may 
be  more  efficient  from  the  store  to 
the  customer’s  door  because  of  the 
reduced time in navigating a car from the 
car park, while providing team members 
a healthy and fun way to work. 

Electric vehicles add additional benefits 
for franchisees – they’re typically lower 
cost to operate, and require less ongoing 
maintenance  than  petrol  or  diesel 

vehicles.  Domino’s  has  already  taken 
tangible  steps  to  increase  their  use 
globally. 

In Germany, about 2.6 million deliveries 
were carried out using electric vehicles 
this Financial Year. In Hamburg, more 
than  50%  of  vehicles  are  electric, 
including bicycles and scooters. 

The Netherlands intend to phase out 
combustion vehicles - with franchisees 
agreeing  to  purchase  only  electric 
vehicles from 2020.

In France, about 35% of deliveries are 
completed using electric vehicles, and 
the goal is to have 100% of our delivery 

vehicles in France powered by electricity 
by the end of 2023.

In  Australia,  Domino’s 
is  working 
towards carrying out more than 2 million 
deliveries each year on electric bicycles. 

Because GPS Driver Tracker is not yet 
fully available in all Domino’s countries, 
the exact number of Domino’s electric 
vehicle  deliveries  has  not  been 
possible to calculate. However, as this 
technology is rolled out in all countries, 
this  information  will  more  easily  be 
captured,  allowing  for  more  tangible 
measurements against these targets for 
the Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Group.

OUR FOOD

Domino’s  menu  provides  our 
customers  an 
indulgence  – 
whether  a  family  meal,  or  a  late 
night treat – our customers choose 
the menu item that suits them. 

Our  goal 
is  to  provide  our 
customers with the best possible 
choice,  that  suits  their  taste 
buds  and  dietary  requirements; 
whether it’s a high quality dessert, 
a premium dinner, or an afternoon 
snack. 

Our  pizza  pride  starts  with  our 
dough, which is baked fresh daily 
in our stores, contains no artificial 
colours, flavours or preservatives, 
and is GMO- and MSG-free.  

Domino’s  strives  to  ensure  our 
ingredients  are  free  of  artificial 
colourings, 
flavourings  and 
preservatives and, in partnership 
with our ingredient suppliers, we 
have made material steps towards 
this goal. In Australia 96% of our 
menu  is  now  free  from  artificial 
preservatives, flavours and colours.

Dietary requirements 

Increasingly, our customers seek menu 
options essential for their health, diet or 
lifestyle requirements. Domino’s aim is 
to provide ingredients and recipes to 
meet every requirement, and we work 
every day to improve these offerings. 

We have previously offered vegetarian, 
and gluten free options on our menu 
before adding, vegan cheese in 2018 
to  our  menu  in  Australia,  initially  as 
a  limited  offering.  Our  vegan  pizzas 
proved so popular Domino’s sold out 
– encouraging us not only to return it 
to the menu permanently, but to bring 
vegan ingredients to other countries. 

Our  vegan  products  have  been  very 
well received by customers, including 
customers  who  are  not  vegan  but 
choose, or need, non-dairy alternatives. 
We are actively expanding this offering 
to give customers more of what they 
want, including adding a Vegan Cheesy 
Garlic Bread in Australia/New Zealand, 
three new vegan pizza recipes and a 
vegan ice cream for our customers in 
France, and additional vegan pizzas in 
Germany and the Benelux.  

Transparency 

Our suppliers 

Domino’s  believes  the  journey  for 
quality does not start in our kitchens. 
That is why we work closely with our 
suppliers to ensure only the best quality 
ingredients and materials are used in 
our  business,  provided  by  suppliers 
who share our commitment to quality.  

It’s this trust that drives us to meet and 
exceed  the  highest  of  standards.  To 
work with only the best food suppliers 
in the country. Suppliers that we hold 
to  these  standards  and  that  deliver 
only  the  highest  quality  products. 
Trust to hold our own stores to these 
standards when it comes to food safety 
responsibility. Providing customers with 
safe, quality food is not only a priority, 
but it is paramount to our integrity and 
to our commitment to be Hungry To 
Be Better. This includes rigorous food 
auditing and food safety programs. 

Our suppliers are expected to meet the 
standards we include in our Supplier 
Code  of  Conduct,  available  online 
here: https://investors.dominos.com.
au/corporate-governance.

Allergens 

Our customers’ safety is paramount 
for  Domino’s.  In  a  fast-paced,  quick 
service environment, there is always 
the possibility of a food safe ingredient 
being placed on a pizza for a customer 
that  otherwise  chooses  to  avoid 
that  ingredient.  However,  our  team 
members in store are trained to take 
careful  steps  to  reduce  the  risk,  as 
much as possible. 

This includes, where this is raised with 
them, team members changing cutting 
blades  and  other  ingredients  for  a 
specific pizza order. 

Our customers make choices about the 
foods they eat.  

Domino’s  is  committed  to  enabling 
our customers make better informed 
choices about the food they buy, which 
means providing relevant information 
to inform those choices. That is why, in 
all of the countries in which Domino’s 
Pizza Enterprises operates, we provide 
detailed nutritional information about 
the products we serve. 

The information we provide is relevant 
to  our  customers  in  each  country, 
and includes information on potential 
allergens, energy content, as well as the 
volume of specific ingredients, such as 
carbohydrates and even egg whites. 

Similarly,  customers  may  choose  to 
know more about the provenance of 
our ingredients. 

In  Australia,  Domino’s  has  been 
recognised as leading the Fast Food 
Industry on Voluntary Country of Origin 
Food Labelling. This includes providing 
the  amount  of  Australian-produced 
ingredients in our menu offerings, as 
well as information about the country in 
which products were made, produced 
or packed. 

Food safety 

Domino’s  has  a  responsibility  to  our 
customers and community to ensure 
our food safety standards are world-
class.  Every  team  member  in  every 
country understands the importance 
of safe food storage, preparation and 
handling requirements. 

Each  country  is  required  to  have  a 
food safety program that is regularly 
reviewed, and meets both local laws 
and Domino’s Pizza Enterprises’ high 
standards. This includes operational 
requirements including maximum food 
storage  times,  cooking  and  storage 
temperatures,  handling  procedures 
and pest control.

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 judgement is given against the 
officer or in which the officer is not acquitted; or

 a liability for costs and expenses incurred by the director regarding 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, six (6)

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 32 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 32 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 87 of the Annual Report.

ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS

The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations Legislative Instrument 2016/191 (Rounding in Financial/Directors’

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION

Non-executive directors are remunerated by way of cash fees and superannuation contributions in accordance with the Superannuation 
Guarantee legislation. The level of directors’ fees reflect their time commitment and responsibilities in accordance with 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 NRC is responsible for making recommendations to the Board on remuneration policies and packages applicable to the Board members 
and the Group CEO. The Group CEO is responsible for preparing recommendations on remuneration packages applicable to the other KMP 
of the Company for review and approval of the NRC.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE REMUNERATION POLICY AND COMPANY PERFORMANCE

The remuneration structures explained below are designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, reward them for the achievement of 
strategic objectives, and achieve the broader outcome of value creation for shareholders. The remuneration framework takes into account:

• 

• 

• 

 the capability and experience of the KMP;

 the KMPs ability to control the relevant segments’ performance;

 the Group’s performance including:

 -

 -

 -

 the Group’s earnings;

 growth in earnings per share;

 return on shareholders’ investment

Remuneration packages include a mix of fixed, short-term and long-term performance-based incentives. Executives’ bonus payments reflect 
the achievement of specific goals related to performance of the Company’s financial and operational results. The mix of these components 
is based on the role the individual performs. In addition to their salaries, the Group also provides non-cash benefits to its KMP and contributes 
to a post-employment superannuation plan (or equivalent) on their behalf.

Remuneration Report (continued)Directors’ Report
continued

During the year independent remuneration consultants were engaged by the Remuneration Committee to ensure that the reward practices 
and levels of remuneration for KMPs are consistent with market practice. A statement of recommendation from the remuneration consultants 
has been received for the 2019 financial year. Payment of $118,450 (2018: $52,371) has been made to the remuneration consultant for the 
remuneration advisory 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 KMP to 
whom the recommendation relates to, the remuneration consultants are not a related party to any KMP. As such, the Committee is satisfied 
that the remuneration recommendations were made free from undue influence by the member or members of the KMP to whom the 
recommendations relates.

Executive remuneration objectives are delivered through three categories of remuneration, as illustrated in the following table:

EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION OBJECTIVES

Attract, motivate and retain highly 
skilled executives across diverse 
geographies

Reward capability and experience 
and provide recognition for the 
contribution to the Company’s 
overall objectives

An appropriate balance between 
fixed and variable remuneration

Alignment to shareholder interests 
through equity components

TOTAL REMUNERATION IS SET BY REFERENCE TO THE RELEVANT GEOGRAPHIC MARKET

FIXED

PERFORMANCE LINKED REMUNERATION

FIXED REMUNERATION

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE (STI)

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE (LTI)

Fixed remuneration is set relative to the 
market, reflecting the KMPs accountability, 
performance, experience, and geographic 
location

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are set each 
year by the Board reflective of the Group or 
Geographically relevant segment and include 
financial and individual performance targets 
relevant to the specific position

REMUNERATION WILL BE DELIVERED AS:

LTI targets are linked to EPS growth, EBITDA or 
EBIT depending on whether the role has Group 
or segment responsibility

Base remuneration 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 or equivalents

Cash or a combination of cash and a deferred 
component (equity or cash settled) following 
a review of the audited performance of the 
Group, the relevant segment and individual 
performance against the KPIs set at the 
beginning of the Financial Year

Equity in options. All equity is held subject to 
service and performance for a minimum of 
3 years from grant date. The equity is at risk 
until vesting. Performance is tested once at the 
vesting date

KPIs are predominately financial, and all are 
subject to audit

STRATEGIC INTENT

Short-Term Incentive is directed to achieving 
Board approved targets, reflective of the 
Group plan

LTI’s are intended to reward Executives for 
sustainable long-term growth aligned to 
shareholder value creation

Fixed remuneration will take into account 
the relevant market data, provided by an 
independent remuneration consultant, or other 
independent data (e.g. Mercer), considering 
the individual’s expertise and performance in 
the role

FIXED REMUNERATION

Remuneration levels are reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and Group CEO through a process that considers 
individual, segment and overall performance of the Group. In addition, external consultants provide analysis and advice to ensure the directors 
and KMP remuneration is competitive in the marketplace. A KMPs remuneration is also reviewed on promotion. All roles are benchmarked 
against comparable market data.

PERFORMANCE-LINKED REMUNERATION

Performance-linked remuneration includes both short-term and long-term incentives and is designed to reward KMP 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 or a combination of 
cash and a deferred component (equity or cash settled), 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”).

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE 

Each year the Nomination and Remuneration Committee sets the key performance indicators (“KPI’s”) for the Group CEO and the Group CEO 
proposes the KPI’s for the other KMP. The KPI’s generally include measures relating to the Group, the relevant segment, and the individual, 
and include financial and operational measures that are audited. The measures are chosen as they directly align the individual’s reward to 
the KPI’s of the Group 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, Same Store Sales, “Franchise operations EBITDA”, Net Profit After Tax (“NPAT”), 
and Franchisee profitability (EBITDA) compared to budget and last year. The specific targets are not detailed in this report due to their 
commercial sensitivity.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE

Options are issued under the ESOP, and it provides for KMP 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 81.

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

(i)  The incentives are dependent on satisfaction of performance conditions.

(ii) 

Included in salaries and other short-term benefits are amounts relating to tax equalisation.

(iii)  On 15 September 2017 Michael Gillespie was appointed as Group Chief Digital and Technology Officer, and as a result of this appointment, 

is now considered a KMP. The remuneration of Michael Gillespie is proportioned for the period that he is considered KMP.

(iv)  Share-based payment is calculated using the number of instruments granted by the grant date fair value over the vesting period, taking 

the cost that relates to the financial year ended 30 June 2019.

(v)  The share-based payments remuneration amount for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 includes the derecognition of prior year’s 
remuneration for options series 28 or 29 for Australian and New Zealand employees and options series 29 for European employees. The 
derecognition of the remuneration is due to a re-assessment of the probability of achievement of the non-market option vesting conditions 
in the current year principally being the cumulative annual compound EPS and cumulative EBIT target over the performance period.

The share-based payments remuneration amount for the financial year ended 01 July 2018 includes the derecognition of prior year’s 
remuneration for options series 25 or 27 for Australian and New Zealand employees. The derecognition of the remuneration is due to a 
re-assessment of the probability of achievement of the non-market option vesting conditions in the current year principally being the 
compound annual EPS growth hurdle. In making that assessment the Board exercised its discretion to adjust the Group’s forecasted 
compound annual EPS growth for FY19 to better reflect underlying growth and made adjustments to remove the benefits from acquisitions 
as well as non-recurring, one-off or extraordinary items. The effect of these adjustments is that there will need to be a higher rate of 
underlying compound annual EPS growth for options to vest in FY19.

(vi)  Amounts relate to expatriate allowances including but not limited to housing, schooling and healthcare.

(vii)  The 2018 non-monetary benefits relate to directors and officer’s insurance premiums. For 2019, the Company has revised its position 
that such insurance premiums do not constitute non-monetary benefits provided to directors and officers given the insurance contract 
provides covers to the Company.

(viii)  The expense relating to the deferred STI payable as equity or cash is recognised over a 2.9 year vesting period which ends on  

21 August 2021.

No director or KMP appointed during the period received a payment as part of his or her consideration for agreeing to hold their position.

INCENTIVES AND SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS GRANTED AS REMUNERATION FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR

INCENTIVES

On 20 August 2019, Don Meij, Richard Coney, Josh Kilimnik, Allan Collins and Michael Gillespie were granted a cash or a combination of cash 
and a deferred component (equity or cash) incentive for their performance during the year ended 30 June 2019. The incentive conditions 
were agreed by the Board during the year. The amounts were determined and approved by the Board based on a recommendation by the 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

No other incentives were granted during the financial year ended 30 June 2019.

(i)  Amounts included in remuneration for the financial year represent the amount that vested in the financial year based on achievement 

of satisfaction of specified performance criteria. 

(ii)  Percentage awarded in the year is inclusive of full fair value of the deferred STI payable equity or cash,  of the short-term incentive awarded 

for the year ended 30 June 2019.

(iii)  The amounts forfeited are due to the performance or service criteria not being met in relation to the financial year ended 30 June 2019.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVES

There were no long-term cash incentives granted for the financial year ended 30 June 2019.

EXECUTIVE SHARE AND OPTION PLAN (ESOP)

The Company established the ESOP to assist in the recruitment, reward, retention and motivation of the company’s KMP (“the participants”).

In accordance with the provisions of the scheme, KMP 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.

During the prior and current financial year, the following share-based payment arrangements were in existence:

Remuneration Report (continued)Directors’ Report
continued

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

Each of the KMP 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 8 November 2017. The 
contract specifies the duties and obligations to be fulfilled by the Group CEO and provides that the Board and 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 12 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 have 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.

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 remuneration 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 remuneration of executive directors and other non-director services provided by directors) is $1,400,000 per annum. The non-
executive directors may divide that remuneration 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 remuneration. Directors’ fees cover all main Board activities.

Current fees, with the effect from 01 December 2018 for a non-executive director was $127,853 per director per annum (2018: $100,000), 
Chairman of the Board was $270,000 per annum (2018: $250,000), Deputy Chairman of the Board/ Chairman of the Audit Committee was 
$170,000 (2018: $160,000) and Director/Chairman of the Nomination & Remuneration Committee was $135,000 (2018: $112,000), plus 
superannuation where applicable.

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

Independent Auditor’s Report to the 
Members of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises 
Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We have audited the financial report of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited (the “Company”) and its 
subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 
30  June  2019,  the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss,  consolidated  statement  of  other 
comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the consolidated statement of 
changes  in  equity  for  the  year  then  ended,  and  notes  to  the  financial  statements,  including  a 
summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.   

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, including:  

(i)  

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of their 
financial performance for the year then ended; and  

(ii)  

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial 
Report  section  of  our  report.  We  are  independent  of  the  Group  in  accordance  with  the  auditor 
independence  requirements  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  the  ethical  requirements  of  the 
Accounting  Professional  and  Ethical  Standards  Board’s  APES  110  Code  of  Ethics  for  Professional 
Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have 
also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

We  confirm that the independence  declaration  required  by  the  Corporations Act  2001,  which  has 
been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as 
at the time of this auditor’s report. 

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

Key Audit Matters  

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance 
in  our  audit  of  the  financial  report  for  the  current  period.  These  matters  were  addressed  in  the 
context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we 
do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

France/Belgium Cash Generating Units (CGUs) 

As at 30 June 2019, the carrying value of the 
Japan CGU included goodwill of $271.5 million 
and  indefinite  life  intangible  assets  of  $46.0 
million. The carrying value of the German CGU 
included goodwill of $84.3 million and indefinite 
life  intangible  assets  of  $174.8  million.  The 
carrying  value  of  the  France/Belgium  CGU 
included goodwill of $49.4 million and indefinite 
life  intangible  assets  of  $49.4  million,  as 
disclosed in Note 9.

In conjunction with our valuation specialists, our 
procedures  included,  but  were  not  limited  to: 

As at 30 June 2019, the put option relating to 
the  non-controlling  interest  in  Germany  is 
valued at $87.8 million as disclosed in Notes 21 
and 22. 

The put option financial liability is classified as 
Level  3  on  the  fair  value  hierarchy  due  to 
significant unobservable inputs. Consequently, 
management are  required to make significant

valuing  the  option,  including  expected 
future  earnings  of  the  component,  the 
expected  timing  of  exercise  of  the  put 
option and the discount rate;  

  Confirming that the assumptions used in the 
valuation model  are in accordance with the 
terms  of  the  put  options  as  prescribed  by 
the shareholders’ agreement; and  
Testing  the  mathematical  accuracy  of  the 
put option calculation. 

 

We also assessed the appropriateness of the 
disclosures included in Notes 21 and 22 to the 
financial statements.    

Other Information  

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the 
information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not 
include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, 
based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this 
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors 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 preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group 
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using 
the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  unless  directors  either  intend  to  liquidate  the  Group  or  to 
cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report  

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is 
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that 
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that 
an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material 
misstatement  when  it  exists.  Misstatements  can  arise  from  fraud  or  error  and  are  considered 
material  if,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  they  could  reasonably  be  expected  to  influence  the 
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:   

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due 
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain 
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk 
of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting 
intentional  omissions, 
involve  collusion, 
fraud  may 
from  error,  as 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.  

forgery, 

  Obtain an  understanding  of internal control  relevant  to  the  audit 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 Group’s internal control.  

 

Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of 
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  

  Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  the  director’s  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of 
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists 
related  to  events  or  conditions  that  may  cast  significant  doubt  on  the  Group’s  ability  to 
continue  as  a  going  concern.  If  we  conclude  that  a  material  uncertainty  exists,  we  are 
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial 
report  or,  if  such  disclosures  are  inadequate,  to  modify  our  opinion.  Our  conclusions  are 
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future 
events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.  

 

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the 
disclosures,  and  whether  the  financial  report  represents  the  underlying  transactions  and 
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.  

  Obtain  sufficient  appropriate  audit  evidence  regarding  the  financial  information  of  the 
entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. 
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group’s audit. We 
remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing 
of the audit and significant audit findings, including  any significant deficiencies in internal control 
that we identify during our audit.

Independent Auditor’s Report
continued

We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate  with them  all relationships and other 
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related 
safeguards.  

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit 
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public 
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter 
should  not  be  communicated  in  our  report  because  the  adverse  consequences  of  doing  so  would 
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 

Report on the Remuneration Report  

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 71 to 86 of the Director’s Report for 
the year ended 30 June 2019.  

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited, for the year ended 
30 June 2019 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  

Responsibilities  

The  directors  of  Domino’s  Pizza  Enterprises  Limited  are  responsible  for  the  preparation  and 
presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the  Corporations Act 
2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit 
conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Notes to the Financial Statements

BASIS OF PREPARATION

Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited (Domino’s) is a for-profit public company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia 
whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchanges and trading under the symbol ‘DMP’. The nature of the operations 
and principal activities of Domino’s and its subsidiaries (the Group) are described in the segment information.

The consolidated general purpose financial report of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2019 was authorised for issue in accordance with 
a resolution of the directors on 20 August 2019. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial report.

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which:

•  has been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting 
Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and also comply with 
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB);

•  has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which have been measured at fair value (refer to 
note 22) and equity-settled share-based payments (refer to note 18). The carrying values of recognised assets and liabilities that are the 
hedged items in fair value hedge relationships, which are otherwise carried at amortised costs, are adjusted to record changes in the fair 
values attributable to the risks that are being hedged;

• 

is presented in Australian dollars with all values rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($’000) unless otherwise stated which is in 
accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191;

•  presents reclassified comparative information where required for consistency with the current year’s presentation;

• 

adopts all new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group and effective 
for reporting periods beginning on or before 02 July 2018 as listed in note 33;

•  does not early adopt Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have been issued or amended but are not yet effective; and

• 

accounts for associates and joint ventures using the equity method as listed in note 25.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group. A list of controlled entities (subsidiaries) at year-end 
is contained in note 23.

Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns 
from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries 
are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group using the acquisition method of accounting described in 
note 7. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting 
policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements all inter-company balances and transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses 
resulting from intra-Group transactions have been eliminated.

FOREIGN CURRENCY

The functional currency of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited is Australian dollars (‘$’), the functional currencies of overseas subsidiaries are 
listed in note 23. As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of overseas subsidiaries are translated into Australian dollars at the rate of 
exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and the income statements are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. The exchange 
differences arising on the retranslation of overseas subsidiaries are taken directly to a separate component of equity.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. 
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet 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. 

 01 01  / / 201 9 ANN UAL  RE PORT D O MI N O’S  P IZ ZA E N TERPRISES LIMITED

Notes to the Financial Statements
continued

Exchange differences arising from the application of these procedures are taken to the income statement, with the exception of differences 
on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity, which are taken directly to equity until the 
disposal of the net investment and are then recognised in the income statement. Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences 
on those borrowings are also recognised in equity.

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.

COMPARATIVE INFORMATION

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

OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant and other accounting policies that summarise the measurement basis used and are relevant to the understanding of the financial 
statements are provided throughout the notes the financial statements.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

In applying the Group’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect amounts 
reported in this Financial Report. The estimates, judgements and assumptions are based on historical experience, adjusted for current market 
conditions and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and are reviewed on a regular basis. Actual results 
may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and judgements which involve a higher degree of complexity or that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to 
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next period are included in the following notes:

SEGMENT INFORMATION

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

The Group’s operating segments are organised and managed separately according to the market in which they operate.

The Group operates predominantly franchise networks and retail pizza stores. The Managing Director and Group Chief Executive Officer (the 
chief operating decision-maker) considers, organises and manages the business from a geographic perspective, being the geographical region 
where the goods and services are provided. Discrete financial information about each of these operating businesses is reported monthly to 
the Managing Director and Group Chief Executive Officer, via a Group financial report for the purpose of making decisions about resource 
allocation and performance assessment.

The operating segments for the Group are as follows:

•  Australia / New Zealand (“ANZ”)

•  Europe (includes non-controlling interest) refer to note 15

• 

Japan

The Group provides services to and derives revenue from a number of customers. The Group does not derive more than 10% of the total 
consolidated revenue from any one customer.

REVENUE

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Revenue is recognised when or as the performance obligation under the relevant customer contract is completed. Performance obligations 
may be completed at a point in time or over time.

Refer to note 33, which outlines the previous reporting period revenue recognition and measurement policies and the impact of the adoption 
of AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

SALE OF GOODS

The revenue from the sale of food and beverages is recognised when the performance obligation has been satisfied. The performance 
obligation is assessed to be satisfied when control of the goods is passed to the customer (at a point in time).

FRANCHISE REVENUE

Initial fees are recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective franchise agreement. This is on the basis that 
the Group has determined that the services provided in exchange for the initial fees are highly interrelated with the franchise right and are not 
individually distinct from the ongoing services provided to the franchisees.

Revenue associated with continuing sales-based royalties and marketing fund royalties is recognised when the related franchisee sale occurs. 
The Group considers there to be one performance obligation, being the franchise right.

SERVICE REVENUE

The Group provides services to franchisees and other third parties which are carried out in accordance with the contract. Service revenue is 
recognised on satisfaction of the performance obligation which is when the services are rendered.

INTEREST REVENUE 

Interest revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured 
reliably. Interest is determined using the effective interest rate method, which accrues interest 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.

Contract liabilities consist of deferred franchise fees. The Group’s franchise agreements typically require certain one-off fees. These fees 
include initial fees paid upon executing a franchise agreement, renewal of the franchise right and fees paid in the event the franchise agreement 
is transferred to another franchisees (collectively termed initial fees). Upon adoption of AASB 15, the Group has determined that the initial 
fees are highly interrelated with the franchise right and are not individually distinct from the ongoing services provided to the franchisees. As a 
result, upon adoption of AASB 15, initial fees are recognised as revenue over the term of each respective franchise agreement, which generally 
ranges from a 5 to 10 year period. Revenue from these initial franchise fees are recognised on straight-line basis with the franchisee’s right to 
use and benefit from the intellectual property.

The Group has recognised the following deferred franchise fees:

Contract liabilities at the beginning of the period was $20.1 million. The Group recognised $4.5 million of revenue related to contract liabilities. 
Management expects to recognise $3.1 million related to deferred franchise fees during the next reporting period.

The Group has applied the sales-based royalty exemption which permits exclusion of variable consideration in the form of sales-based royalties 
from the disclosure of remaining performance obligations.

EXPENSES

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Group’s accounting policy for liabilities associated with employee benefits is set out in note 12. The policy relating to share-based payments 
is set out in note 18.

The majority of employees in Australia and New Zealand are party to defined contribution schemes and fixed contributions from Group 
companies and the Group’s legal or constructive obligation is limited to these contributions. Contributions to defined contribution funds are 
recognised as an expense as they become payable. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a 
reduction in the future payment is available.

OCCUPANCY EXPENSES

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. Operating lease incentives are 
recognised as a liability when received and released to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

An asset or liability is recognised for the difference between the amount paid and the lease expense recognised in earnings on a straight-line 
basis.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTISATION

Refer to notes 8 and 9 for details on depreciation and amortisation.

FINANCE COSTS

Finance costs are recognised as an expense when they are incurred, except for interest charges attributable to major projects with substantial 
development and construction phases that are capitalised.

Provisions and other payables are discounted to their present value when the effect of the time value of money is significant. The impact of 
the unwinding of these discounts and any changes to the discounting is shown as a discount rate adjustment in finance costs.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

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

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and in banks net of outstanding bank 
overdrafts. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the reporting period as shown in the statement of cash flows can be reconciled to the 
related items in the statement of financial position as follows:

TAX

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

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

CURRENT TAXES

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to taxation authorities at the tax rates 
and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in respective jurisdictions.

DEFERRED TAXES

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary 
differences, carried forward unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available to 
utilise them.

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 balance sheet date.

Notes to the Financial Statements

TAX (Continued)

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences at balance sheet date between accounting carrying amounts and the tax bases of 
assets and liabilities, other than for the following:

•  where they arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time of the 

transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

•  where taxable temporary differences relate to investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures:

Deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that 
the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are not recognised if it is not probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable 
profit will not be available to utilise the temporary differences.

Deferred tax liabilities are not recognised on the recognition of goodwill.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the income statement.

OFFSETTING DEFERRED TAX BALANCES

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current 
tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

UNRECOGNISED TAXABLE TEMPORARY DIFFERENCES ASSOCIATED WITH INVESTMENTS AND INTERESTS

At the end of the financial year, an aggregate deferred tax liability of $97,886 thousand (2018: $93,984 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.

(i)  The Group adopted the modified retrospective approach to the implementation of AASB 15. The new standard has therefore been 
applied to contracts that remain in force at 02 July 2018. A transition adjustment has been recognised on transition at 02 July 2018, 
without adjustment of the comparative. The Group has recognised a deferred tax asset of $6,196 thousand as at 02 July 2018 relating 
to the contract liability on adoption of AASB 15. Refer to note 33 for the impact of the adoption of AASB 15 on the Group.

ACQUISITION OF BUSINESSES

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

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 acquired, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued 
by the Group 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.

ACQUISITION OF BUSINESSES (Continued)

Where the consideration transferred by the Group 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 9, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognised in the statement 
of profit or loss.

Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’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 Group 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 
Group 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 Group obtains complete information about facts and 
circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and is subject to a maximum of one year.

included in ANZ are the acquisition of two minor businesses for $1,703 thousand of consideration.

Goodwill arising on acquisition of stores in Europe is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. For the other jurisdictions, Goodwill arising 
on acquisitions is not deductible for tax purposes.

The cost of acquisitions comprise cash for all of the acquisitions. In each acquisition, the Group has paid a premium for the acquiree as it 
believes the acquisitions will introduce additional synergies to its existing operations.

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

HALLO PIZZA 

On the 5 January 2018, the Group acquired through its 66.67% controlled joint venture company Daytona JV (UK) Limited, 100% of the issued 
share capital in Hallo Pizza. Hallo Pizza is a chain of 163 franchised pizza stores in Germany. This acquisition is expected to reinforce DPE’s 
position as the largest pizza chain in the German market. The acquisition was funded through debt raising.

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

During the period, the Group has finalised its acquisition accounting of Hallo Pizza with no revisions to the provisional acquisition accounting. 

Goodwill arose on 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 Hallo Pizza. These benefits are not recognised separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition 
criteria for identifiable intangible assets.

In determining the fair value of intangible assets arising on the acquisition of Hallo Pizza, judgements and estimates are required to be applied. 
These estimates and judgements are detailed in note 9.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT 

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

The carrying value of property plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure 
that is directly attributable to the acquisition of an item.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTISATION

Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The estimated useful life of plant and 
equipment is between 1 and 10 years and equipment under finance lease is between 3 and 10 years.

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.

DERECOGNITION

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised when it is sold or otherwise disposed of, or when its use is expected to bring no future 
economic benefits. Any gain or loss from derecognising the asset, being the difference between the proceeds of disposal and the carrying 
amount of the asset, is included in the income statement in the period the item is derecognised.

IMPAIRMENT

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property plant and equipment 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 Group 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.

0118 // 2019 A NNUA L REPORT D OMINO’S PIZZA  ENTERPRISES LIMIT ED

Notes to the Financial Statements
continued

8  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (Continued)

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 or 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 or 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 or 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.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

GOODWILL

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost. Cost is measured as the cost of the business combination minus 
the net fair value of the acquired and identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Following initial recognition, Goodwill is measured 
at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business 
combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition.

Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less amortisation and any impairment losses. Intangible assets with finite lives 
are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives and tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that they may be impaired. 
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.

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.

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

•  Capitalised development intangibles 

2 – 10 years

• 

Licenses and other 

2 – 10 years

Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment in the same way as goodwill. Assets with an assumed indefinite useful life 
are reviewed at each reporting period to determine whether this assumption continues to be appropriate. If not, it is changed to a finite life 
intangible asset and amortised over its remaining useful life.

0120 // 2019  ANNUA L REPORT D OMINO’S PIZZA  ENTERPRISES LIMITED

Notes to the Financial Statements
continued

9  GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES (Continued)

IMPAIRMENT

The Group tests intangibles and goodwill for impairment:

• 

at least annually for indefinite life intangibles and goodwill; and

•  where there is an indication that the asset may be impaired, which is assessed at least each reporting period; or

•  where there is an indication that previously recognised impairment, on assets other than goodwill, may have changed.

If the asset does not generate independent cash inflows and its value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value, the asset is tested 
for impairment as part of the cash generating unit (CGU) to which it belongs.

Assets are impaired if their carrying value exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is determined as 
the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCOD) or value in use (VIU). An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in 
subsequent periods.

IMPAIRMENT CALCULATIONS

In assessing VIU, 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 or CGU. In determining FVLCOD, a discounted cash flow model is 
used based on a methodology consistent with that applied by the Group in determining the value of potential acquisition targets, maximising 
the use of market observed inputs. These calculations, classified as Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy, are compared to valuation multiples 
or other fair value indicators where available to ensure reasonableness.

INPUTS TO IMPAIRMENT CALCULATIONS

For VIU calculations, cash flow projections are based on corporate plans and business forecasts prepared by management and approved by 
the Board. The corporate plans are developed annually with a five-year outlook.

On determining FVLCOD, the valuation model incorporates the cash flows projected over the duration of the current corporate plan period. 
These projections are discounted using a risk adjusted discount rate commensurate with a typical market participant’s assessment of the 
risk associated with the projected cash flows.

For both the VIU and FVLCOD models, cash flows beyond the corporate plan period are extrapolated using estimated growth rates, which are 
based on Group estimates, taking into consideration historical performance as well as expected long-term operating conditions. Growth rates 
do not exceed the consensus forecasts of the long-term average rate for the industry in which the CGU operates.

Discount rates used in both calculations are based on the weighted average cost of capital determined by prevailing or benchmarked market 
inputs, risk adjusted where necessary. Other assumptions are determined with reference to external sources of information and use consistent, 
reasonable estimates for variables such as terminal cash flow multiples. Increases in discount rates or changes in other key assumptions, such 
as operating conditions or financial performance, may cause the recoverable amounts to reduce.

RECOGNISED IMPAIRMENT

There was no impairment recognised during the 2019 financial year (2018: nil).

ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS - OTHER INTANGIBLES

MASTER FRANCHISE RIGHTS & FRANCHISE NETWORK ASSETS

Management has determined that the Master Franchise Rights (‘MFA’) relating to Domino’s Pizza Germany and the Franchise Network Assets 
(‘FNAs’) arising on the acquisition of Hallo Pizza, Joey’s Pizza and Pizza Sprint are to be treated as indefinite life intangible assets (2019: $31.6m, 
2018: $48.7m). In addition, the same treatment has been applied to the MFA and associated franchise agreements recognised on the acquisition 
of Domino’s Pizza Japan (2019: $46.0m, 2018: $42.5m). This judgement is based on the sufficiency of available evidence supporting the ability 
of the Group to renew the underlying agreements beyond their initial terms without incurring significant cost.

The liability associated with the Franchise Network Assets for Germany is valued using a multi-period excess earnings method income approach 
taking into account forecast revenue and EBITDA margin with a discount rate applied. These inputs are not observable therefore the liability 
is considered a level 3 in the hierarchy of fair value as disclosed in note 22.

USEFUL LIVES OF OTHER INTANGIBLES

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.

ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS IN DETERMINING THE RECOVERABLE AMOUNT OF THE CASH GENERATING UNITS

In assessing the recoverable amount of CGUs, the calculations necessarily require estimates and assumptions around future cashflows, growth 
rates and discount rates. The resulting recoverable amount can be sensitive to these outputs. Key assumptions used are detailed further below.

All CGUs have adopted the VIU valuation methodology to determine the recoverable amount. EBIT growth over the forecast period is based 
on past experience and expectations of average sale percentages growth rates. The post-tax discount rates incorporate a risk-adjustment 
relative to the risks associated with the net post-tax cash flows being achieved, whilst the terminal growth rates are based on market estimates 
of the long-term average industry growth rate.

(i)  Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the corporate plan period has been calculated based on the compound EBITDA growth over 

the forecast period adjusted for any non-recurring costs.

The FR & BE CGU has been adversely impacted by discretionary franchisee support provided during 2019; with this cost not forecast to 
continue over the longer term. Therefore this has increased the 2019 disclosed CAGR for the FR & BE CGU.

The Group 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. The sensitivity tests applied were to 
reduce the forecasted EBITDA growth rates by 2% and an increase to the post-tax discount rates by 1% for each cash-generating unit, which 
did not result in the cash-generating units carrying amounts exceeding the recoverable amounts.

10  TRADE, OTHER RECEIVABLES AND OTHER ASSETS 

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 

TRADE RECEIVABLES 

At initial recognition, trade receivables and other debtors that do not have a significant financing component are recognised at their transaction 
price.

Trade receivables generally have terms of up 30 days. They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the 
effective interest method, less an allowance for impairment. Allowance for impairment is determined using an expected credit loss approach.

Before accepting any new franchisees and business partners, the Group uses extensive credit verification procedures. Receivable balances 
are monitored on an ongoing basis and the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. With respect to trade receivables that are neither 
impaired nor past due, there are no indications as of the reporting date that the debtors will not meet their payment obligations.

INTEREST RATE RISK

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.

10  TRADE, OTHER RECEIVABLES AND OTHER ASSETS (Continued)

FAIR VALUE

Due to the short-term nature of these receivables, their carrying amount is assumed to approximate their fair value.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk arises from exposure to retail customers and franchisees, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions.

Collectability and impairment are assessed on an ongoing basis at a regional level. Impairment is recognised in the income statement when 
there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts.

The Group applies the ‘simplified approach’ to measuring expected credit losses (“ECL”) which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all 
trade receivables. The ECL is estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group’s historical credit loss experiences

The Group writes off trade receivables when there is information indicating the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic 
prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed in liquidation or has entered bankruptcy proceedings. Trade receivables written 
off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Group’s recovery processes, considering legal advice where appropriate. Any 
recoveries made are recognised in profit and loss.

12  PROVISIONS  

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 

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

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The provision for employee benefits represents annual leave, long service leave entitlements and incentives accrued by employees.

WAGES AND SALARIES

Liabilities for wages and salaries including non-monetary benefits expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised 
in provisions and other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the balance sheet date. They are measured at the amounts expected 
to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

ANNUAL AND LONG SERVICE LEAVE

The liability for annual leave and long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. It is measured as the present value of 
expected future payments for the services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Expected future payments are discounted using 
market yields at the balance sheet date on terms to maturity and currencies that match as closely as possible to the estimated future cash outflows.

STRAIGHT LINE LEASE PROVISION

The lease provision covers stepped lease arrangements to enable the lease expense to be recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

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 recognised on leases, based on historical data in relation to store closure numbers and costs, as 
well as future trends that could differ from historical amounts.

LEGAL PROVISION

The provision for legal costs relate to claims that were brought against the company by a number of former and current Pizza Sprint franchisees.

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. Refer to note 18.

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, 248,350 options were exercised (2018: 839,250). A total of $12,616,763 was received as consideration for 248,350 fully paid 
ordinary shares of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited on exercise of the options in the current financial year (2018: $36,094,377).

14  EQUITY (Continued)

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 30 June 2019 
will be paid in cash only.

RESERVES 

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION 

Exchange differences relating to the translation of the net assets of the Group’s foreign operations from their functional currencies to the Group’s 
presentation currency (i.e. Australian dollars) are recognised directly in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign currency 
translation reserve. The significant movement in the translation of the foreign operations has arisen as a result of the weakening of the Australian 
Dollar verse Japanese Yen and Euro.

HEDGING RESERVE

The hedging reserve represents hedging gains and losses recognised on the effective portion of net investment and cash flow hedges.

OTHER RESERVES

The equity settled share-based benefits reserve arises on the grant of share options to executives under the Executive Share and Option Plan 
(ESOP). Further information about ESOP is made in note 18 to the financial statements. The Group settled the Domino’s Pizza Enterprises 
Limited Employee Share Trust to manage the share option plan.

15  NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

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 Group’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 method (equity 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, the accounting treatment is as follows:

(a)    The amount that would have been recognised for the non-controlling interest, including an update to reflect allocations of profit or loss, 

allocations of changes in other comprehensive income and dividends declared for the reporting period, as required by AASB 10;

(b)  The non-controlling interest is derecognised as if it was acquired at that date;

(c)  A financial liability at the present value of the amount payable on exercise of the non-controlling put in accordance with AASB 9. There is 

no impact on the profit or loss from the unwinding of the discount due to the passage of time; and

(d)  The difference between (b) and (c) as an equity transaction in other reserves.

If the non-controlling interest put or call is exercised, the same treatment is applied up to the date of exercise. The amount recognised as the 
financial liability at that date is extinguished by the payment of the exercise price.

The non-controlling interest relates to a 33.3% interest in the Group’s operations in Germany.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:

• 

• 

costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);

the after-tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and

•  other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the year that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares;

divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

The diluted earnings per share calculation takes into account all options issued under the ESOP, as in accordance with AASB 133 Earnings per 
Share, the average market price of ordinary shares during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options or warrants.

18  SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

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 Black Scholes 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.

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 Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. At each reporting period, the Group 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.

EQUITY-SETTLED SHARE-BASED BENEFITS

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

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.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
Financial management provides information about the debt management practices of the Group as well as the Group’s exposure to various 
financial risks, how these affect the Group’s financial position and performance and what the Group does to manage these risks.

19  BORROWINGS

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 
Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period 
of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs 
of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw 
down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a 
prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

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.

FINANCE LEASES

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.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Group 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 Group’s general policy on borrowing costs. 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.

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.

During the current financial year, the Group acquired $8.6 million of assets under finance lease (2018: $4.3 million).

SUMMARY OF BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS:

(i) 

Loans to meet the cost of DPE’s acquisitions in Germany are secured by way of a mortgage over shares DPE holds in the joint venture 
entity that owns the German territory assets. DPE’s borrowings are otherwise unsecured. 

(ii)  Secured by the assets leased, the current market value of each exceeds the value of the finance lease liability. 

The unused facilities available on the Group’s bank overdraft are $5,868 thousand (2018: $5,752 thousand). For further information in respect 
of the Group’s borrowings, refer to note 22.

20  FINANCIAL ASSETS

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

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 time frame established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, 
plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value.

Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ (FVPL) or through 
other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and those held at amortised cost.

Classification depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Management 
determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. Generally, the Group does not acquire financial assets for the purpose 
of selling in the short-term. When the Group enters into derivative contracts, these transactions are designed to reduce exposures relating 
to assets and liabilities, firm commitments or anticipated transactions.

Refer to note 33 for impact of AASB 9 Financial Instruments and previous recognition and measurement policies.

FINANCIAL ASSETS HELD AT AMORTISED COST

This classification applies to debt instruments which are held under a hold to collect business model and which have cash flows that 
meet the ‘Solely payment of principal and interest’ (SPPI) criteria.

Other financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus related transaction costs; they are subsequently measured at amortised 
cost using the effective interest method. Any gain or loss on derecognition or modification of a financial asset held at amortised cost 
is recognised in the income statement.

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 financial assets held at amortised cost.

20  FINANCIAL ASSETS (Continued)

FINANCIAL ASSETS HELD AT FVOCI

This classification applies to the following financial assets:

•  Debt instruments that are held under a business model where they are held for the collection of contractual cash flows and also for sale 

(‘collect and sell’) and which have cash flows that meet the SPPI criteria.

All movements in the fair value of these financial assets are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of 
impairment gains or losses, interest revenue (including transaction costs by applying the effective interest method), gains or losses 
arising on derecognition and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in the income statement. When the financial assets 
are derecognised, the cumulative fair value gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to the 
income statement.

•  Equity investment where the Group has irrevocably elected to present fair value gains and losses on revaluation in other comprehensive 
income. The election can be made for each individual investment however it is not applicable to equity investments held for trading.

Fair value gains or losses on revaluation of such equity investments, including any foreign exchange components, are recognised in other 
comprehensive income. When the equity investment is derecognised, there is no reclassification of fair value gains or losses previously 
recognised in other comprehensive income to the income statement. Dividends are recognised in the income statement when the right 
to receive payment is established.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FVPL

This classification applies to the following financial assets, and in all cases, transaction costs are immediately expensed to the income statement:

•  Debt instruments that do not meet the criteria of amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.

Subsequent fair value gains or losses are taken to the income statement.

•  Equity investments which are held for trading or where the FVOCI election has not been applied. All fair value gains or losses are related 

dividend income are recognised in the income statement.

•  Derivatives which are not designated as a hedging instrument. All subsequent fair value gains or losses are recognised in the income 

statement.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to 
their fair value at the end of 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.

NON-CASH FINANCING AND INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Included  in  the  movement  of  other  financial  assets  are  non-cash  transactions  of  $40.9  million  (2018:  $48.2  million)  for  loans  to 

Franchisees.

IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

A forward looking ECL review is required for: debt instruments measured at amortised cost or held at fair value through other comprehensive 
income, loan commitments and financial guarantees not measured at fair value through profit or loss; lease receivables and trade receivables 
that give rise to an unconditional right to consideration.

As permitted by AASB 9, the Group applies the ‘simplified approach’ to trade receivable balances and the ‘general approach’ to all other 
financial assets (refer to note 10). The general approach incorporates a review for any significant increase in counterparty credit risk since 
inception. The ECL reviews include assumptions about the risk of default and expected loss rates.

DERECOGNITION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

The Group 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 Group neither transfers nor retains substantially 
all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and 
an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred 
financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

Before providing any new loans to franchisees, the Group 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 was 6.7% (2018: 7%) in Australia and New Zealand, the average interest charged in France is 5.61% (2018: 6.41%), 
in the Netherlands is 7.79% (2018: 7.88%), in Germany is 4.78% (2018: 4.87%) and the average interest charged in Japan is 5.0% (2018: 5.0%).

The Group applies the ‘general approach’ to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for franchisee 
loans. The general approach incorporates a review for any significant increase in counterparty credit risk since inception. The ECL review 
includes assumptions about the risk of default and expected credit loss rates.

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

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.

FINANCIAL GUARANTEES AND 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 FVPL, 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 Note 2.

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

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

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES AT FVPL

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

Notes to the Financial Statements
continued

21  FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (Continued)

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 Group 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 FVPL 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 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ permits the entire combined 
contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVPL.

Financial liabilities at FVPL 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.

FINANCIAL BORROWINGS

Borrowing  and  other  financial  liabilities  (including  trade  payables  but  excluding  derivative  liabilities)  are  recognised  initially  at  fair 

value, net of transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

DERECOGNITION OF FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’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.

ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

GERMANY PUT OPTION LIABILITY

The put option associated with Domino’s Pizza Germany (DPG) is valued by management by taking into account adjusted unlevered price/
earnings multiple rates and estimate of the timing of the exercise of the put. This is based on management’s experience and knowledge of 
market conditions of the German Pizza industry and dealings with the sellers of Joey’s Pizza and Hallo Pizza. As the inputs are not observable 
the liability is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVES AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As described in note 22, 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 22.

22  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern, while maximising the return to stakeholders through 
optimisation of the debt and equity balances.

The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt, which includes borrowings, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity 
holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves, retained earnings and non-controlling interest.

The Group operates globally, primarily through subsidiary companies established in the markets in which the Group trades, these companies 
are not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

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

The Group’s management and board of directors review the capital structure formally on an annual basis. The board of directors consider 
the cost of capital and associated risk. Based on recommendations from management and the board of directors, the Group will balance its 
overall capital structure through payment of dividends, new share issues and issue or redemption of debt.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Group treasury co-ordinates access to financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group in 
line with its policies. These risks include;

• 

Liquidity risk

•  Market risk, including foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price risk; and

•  Credit risk

The Group seeks to manage and minimise its exposure to these financial risks by using derivative financial instruments to hedge the risk, 
governed by the approved Group policies, which provides written principles on foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and the use 
of derivatives and investment of excess liquidity. Compliance with policies and exposure limits are reviewed by the board of directors. The 
Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative instruments, for speculative purposes.

LIQUIDITY RISK

NATURE OF THE RISK

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, 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 an appropriate liquidity management framework for the management 
of the Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements.

MARKET RISK

NATURE OF FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

The Group’s activities exposes it primarily to the Euro and Japanese Yen currencies and to interest rate risk through its borrowings. The Group’s 
foreign operations are carried out in New Zealand, Japan and Europe, which exposes the Group’s investments to movements in the AUD/NZD, 
AUD/JPY and AUD/EUR exchange rates. The Group mitigates and manages the effect of its translational currency exposure by borrowing in 
NZ dollars, Japanese Yen and Euro.

The Group 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

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK MANAGEMENT

The hedging function of the Group is to address foreign currency risk and is managed centrally. The Group requires all subsidiaries to hedge 
foreign exchange exposures for firm commitments relating to sale or purchases or when highly probable forecast transactions have been 
identified. Before hedging, the subsidiaries are also required to take into account their competitive position. The hedging instrument must 
be in the same currency as the hedged item.

The objective of the Group’s policy on foreign exchange hedging is to protect the Group from adverse currency fluctuations.

SENSITIVITY TO FOREIGN EXCHANGE MOVEMENTS

The sensitivity analysis below shows the impact that a reasonable possible change in foreign exchange rates over a financial year would have 
on profit after tax and equity, based solely on the Group’s foreign exchange rate exposure existing at the balance sheet date. The Group has 
used the observed range of actual historical rates for the preceding five-year period, with a heavier weighting placed on recently observed 
market data, in determining reasonable possible exchange movements to be used for the current year’s sensitivity analysis. Past movements 
are not necessarily indicative of future movements.

The following exchange rates have been used in performing the sensitivity analysis:

Actual 2019

The impact on profit and equity is estimated by relating the hypothetical changes in the NZ Dollar, Japanese Yen and Euro exchange rate to 
the balance of financial instruments at the reporting date. Foreign currency risks, as defined by AASB 7 Financial Instruments: disclosure, arise 
on account of the financial instruments being denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency in which the financial instruments 
are measured.

22  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

Differences from the translation of the financial statements into the Group’s presentation currency are not taken into consideration in the 
sensitivity analysis. The results of the foreign exchange rate sensitivity analysis are driven by three main factors, as outlined below:

•  The impact of applying the above foreign exchange movements to financial instruments that are not in hedge relationships will be recognised 

directly in profit or loss;

•  To the extent that the foreign currency denominated derivatives on balance sheet form part of an effective cash flow hedge relationship, 
any fair value movements caused by applying the above sensitivity movements will be deferred in equity and will not affect profit or loss; and

•  Movements in financial instruments forming part of an effective fair value hedge relationship will be recognised in profit or loss. However, 

as a corresponding entry will be recognised for the hedged item, the net effect on profit or loss will be nil.

The below table details the impact of the Group’s profit after tax and other equity had there been a movement in the NZ dollar, Japanese Yen 
and Euro with all other variables held constant.

NATURE OF INTEREST RATE RISK

The Group’s exposure to changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s debt obligations that have floating interest rates.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings, and by the use of interest rate 
swaps. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite, ensuring the most cost-effective 
hedging strategies are applied.

From a Group perspective, any internal contracts are eliminated as part of the consolidation process, leaving only external contracts.

EXPOSURE

As at the balance sheet date, the Group had financial assets and liabilities with exposure to interest rate risk. Interest on financial instruments 
classified as floating rate, is repriced at intervals of less than one year. Interest on financial instruments, classified as fixed rate, is fixed until 
maturity of the instrument. The classification between fixed and floating interest takes into account applicable hedge instruments. Other 
financial instruments of the Group that are not included in the following table are non-interest bearing and are therefore not subject to interest 
rate risk.

SENSITIVITY TO INTEREST RATE MOVEMENTS

The following sensitivity analysis shows the impact that a reasonable possible change in interest rates would have on Group profit after tax 
and equity. The impact is determined by assessing the effect that such a reasonable possible change in interest rates would have had on the 
interest income/(expense) and the impact on financial instrument fair values. This sensitivity is based on reasonable possible changes over 
a financial year, determined using observed historical interest rate movements of the preceding five-year period, with a heavier weighting 
given to more recent market data.

If interest rates had moved by 100 basis points and with all other variables held constant, profit before tax and equity would be affected as 
follows:

Interest rates - increase by 100 basis points

Interest rates - decrease by 100 basis points

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of all Group’s financial instruments recognised in the financial statements are materially the 
same.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are as follows:

CASH

The carrying amount is the fair value due to the asset’s liquid nature.

RECEIVABLES/PAYABLES

Due to the short-term nature of these financial rights and obligations, carrying amounts represent the fair values.

OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS/LIABILITIES

Loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as ‘Other Financial 
Assets’. Loans are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying 
the effective interest rate.

DERIVATIVES

The Group enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions with investment grade 
credit ratings. Foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swap contracts and cross-currency interest rate swaps are all valued using 
forward pricing techniques. This includes the use of market observable inputs, such as foreign exchange spot and forward rates, yield curves 
of the respective currencies, interest rate curves and forward rate curves of the underlying commodity. Accordingly, these derivatives are 
classified as Level 2.

INTEREST BEARING LOANS AND BORROWINGS

Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used to value long-term (greater than one year) debt instruments.

VALUATION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

For all fair value measurements and disclosures, the Group uses the following to categorise the method used:

• 

• 

Level 1: the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.

Level 2: the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, 
either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

• 

Level 3: the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The following table presents the Group’s assets and liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at the reporting date.

No gain or loss for the year relating to these liabilities has been recognised in profit or loss.

The opening balance for the put option liabilities was $88.9 million and has a closing balance at year end of $87.8 million. The movement of 
the put liability is recorded in reserves.

No gain or loss relating to level 3 liabilities has been recognised in profit or loss.

VALUATION TECHNIQUES USED TO DERIVE LEVEL 2 AND 3 FAIR VALUES

The fair values of the financial assets and financial liabilities included in the level 2 and 3 categories above have been determined in accordance 
with generally accepted pricing models based on a discounted cash flow analysis, with the most significant inputs being the discount rate that 
reflects the credit risk of counterparties and long-term revenue and profit growth rates.

The level 2 financial instruments have been valued using the discounted cash flow technique. Future cash flows are estimated based on 
forward interest rates (from observable yield curves at the end of the reporting period) and contract interest rates, discounted at a rate that 
reflects the credit risk of various counterparties.

Specific valuation techniques used to value level 3 financial instruments include:

PUT OPTION OVER NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST 

The valuation technique used is the unlevered price/earnings multiple which requires future earnings to be estimated. The significant 
unobservable inputs include adjusted unlevered price/earnings multiple and the put option is exercisable 4 years (January 2020) from date 
of the joint venture agreement (December 2015). The call option is exercisable 6 years (January 2022) from the date of the joint venture 
agreement. The earnings and margins are based on management’s experience and knowledge of the market conditions of the industry, with 
the higher earnings resulting in a higher fair value and the shorter the time period resulting in a lower fair value.

MARKET ACCESS RIGHT

The valuation technique used is the income approach. In this approach the discounted cash flows are used to capture the future cost of 
the asset. The significant unobservable inputs include adjusted unlevered price/earnings multiples. The earnings and margins are based on 
management’s experience and knowledge of the market conditions of the industry, with the higher earnings resulting in a higher fair value.

CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION IN A BUSINESS COMBINATION

The discounted cash flow method was used to calculate the present value of the expected future economic benefits that will flow out of 
the Group arising from the contingent consideration. The significant unobservable inputs include the projected gross margin based on 
management’s experience and knowledge of market and industry conditions. Significant increase/(decrease) in the gross profit would result 
in a higher/(lower) fair value of the contingent consideration liability.

OFFSETTING FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group presents its derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis. Derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group are subject 
to enforceable master netting arrangements, such as International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting agreements. In 
certain circumstances, for example, when a credit event such as a default occurs, all outstanding transactions under ISDA agreements are 
terminated, the termination value is assessed and only a single net amount is payable in settlement of all transactions.

The amounts set out in note 20 and 21 represent the derivative financial assets and liabilities of the Group, that are subject to the above 
arrangements and are presented on a gross basis.

HEDGING

The Group designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in respect of foreign currency risk and interest rate risk in fair value hedges, 
cash flow hedges, or hedges of net investment in foreign operations as appropriate. Hedges of foreign exchange risk on firm commitments 
are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the 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 Group documents whether the hedging instrument is effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows 
of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, which is when the hedge relationship meet all of the hedge effectiveness requirements 
prescribed in AASB 9. There has been no material change to the Group’s hedging policies as a result of the adoption of AASB 9.

If a hedging relationship ceases to meet the hedge effectiveness requirement relating to the hedge ratio but the risk management objective 
for that designated hedging relationship remains the same, the Group adjust the hedge ratio for the hedging relationship (i.e. rebalances the 
hedge) so that it meets the qualifying criteria again.

22  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

The Group holds the following hedging instruments:

FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACTS

Contracts denominated in US dollar to hedge highly probable sale and purchase transactions (cash flow hedges).

INTEREST RATE SWAPS

To optimise the Group’s exposure to fixed and floating interest rates arising from borrowings. These hedges incorporate cash hedges, which 
fix future interest payments, and fair value hedges, which reduce the Group’s exposure to changes in the value of its assets and liabilities 
arising from interest rate movements

CROSS-CURRENCY INTEREST RATE SWAPS

To either reduce the Group’s exposure to exchange rate variability in its interest repayments of foreign currency denominated debt (cash flow 
hedges) or to hedge against movements in the fair value of those liabilities due to exchange and interest rate movements (fair value hedges). 
The borrowing margin on the Group’s cross-currency interest rate swap has been treated as a cost of hedging and deferred into equity. These 
costs are then amortised to the profit and loss as a finance cost over the remaining life of the borrowing.

CASH FLOW HEDGES

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives and other qualifying hedging instruments that are designated and qualify as 
cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve, limited 
to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item from inception of the hedge. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is 
recognised immediately in the profit or loss.

The Group discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship (or a part thereof) ceases to meet the qualifying criteria. This 
includes instances when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised. The discontinuation is accounted for prospectively. 
Any gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income and 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 gain or loss 
accumulated in equity is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The Group uses cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of variability of future cash flows attributable to foreign currency fluctuations over the 
hedging period associated with foreign currency borrowings and ongoing business activities, predominantly where there are highly probable 
purchases or settlement commitments in foreign currencies. The Group also uses cash flow hedges to hedge variability in cash flows due to 
interest rates associated with borrowings.

At 30 June 2019, the Group have interest rate swap agreements in place with a notional amount of €131 million and ¥12 billion, whereby the 
Group receives a fixed rate of interest of EURIBOR (floored at 0%) and TIBOR +0% and pays interest at rate equal to 0.168% and 0.242% on 
the notional amount. The swap is being used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of its fixed rate secured loans.

Under interest rate swap contracts, the Group agrees to exchange the difference between fixed and floating rate interest amounts calculated 
on agreed notional principal amounts. Such contracts enable the Group to mitigate the risk of changing interest rates on the fair value of issued 
fixed rate debt held and the cash flow exposures on the issued variable rate debt held. The fair value of interest rate swaps at the reporting 
date is determined by discounting the future cash flows using the curves at the reporting date 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 financial year.

As the critical terms of the interest rate swap contracts and their corresponding hedged items are the same, the Group performs a qualitative 
assessment of effectiveness and it is expected that the value of the interest rate swap contracts and the value of the corresponding hedged 
items will systematically change in opposite direction in response to movements in the underlying interest rates. The main source of hedge 
ineffectiveness in these hedge relationships is the effect of the counterparty and the Group’s own credit risk on the fair value of the interest 
rate swap contracts, which is not reflected in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the change in interest rates. No other sources 
of ineffectiveness emerged from these hedging relationships.

The line item in the statement of financial position which is impacted by the hedging instrument is current financial liabilities.

Amounts recognised in equity are transferred to income statement when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, such as when hedged 
income or expenses are recognised or when a forecast sale occurs or the asset is consumed. When the hedged item is the cost of a non-
financial asset or liability, the amounts taken to equity are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability.

If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, amounts previously recognised in equity are transferred to the income statement. If 
the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or roll over, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, 
amounts previously recognised in equity remain in equity until the forecast transaction occurs.

HEDGES OF NET INVESTMENT 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 under the heading of foreign 
currency translation reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Gains and losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge accumulated in the foreign currency translation 
reserve are reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal or partial disposal of the foreign operations.

Included in borrowings at 30 June 2019 is borrowings of $150,164 thousand, which has been designated as hedge of the net investments in 
the Group’s European subsidiaries. These borrowings are being used to hedge the Group’s exposure to the foreign exchange risk on these 
investments.

There are economic relationships between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the net investment creates a transaction risk 
that will match the foreign exchange risk on the Euro borrowings. The Group has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 as the underlying risk of the 
hedging instruments are identical to the hedged risk component. The hedge ineffectiveness will arise when the amount of the investment in 
the foreign subsidiary become lower than the amount of the fixed rate borrowing.

HEDGING RESERVES

The Group’s hedging reserves are disclosed in note 14.

CREDIT RISK 

NATURE OF CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that a contracting entity will not complete its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract that will result 
in a financial loss to the Group. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily from customer receivables and from 
its financing activities, including deposits with financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments).

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT: RECEIVABLES & LOANS

Customer credit risk is managed by each division subject to established policies, procedures and controls relating to customer credit risk 
management. The Group trades with recognised well-established franchisees. Depending on the division, credit terms for receivables are 
generally up to 30 days from date of invoice. Loans payments are received weekly in advance. The Group’s exposure to bad debts is not 
significant and default rates have historically been very low on both receivables and loans.

Franchisee’s and customers who trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures, including an assessment of financial 
position, past experience and industry reputation. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the 
Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. In the event that a loan defaults, the Group’s policy is to purchase and operate the store as 
a corporate store.

The credit quality of trade receivables and loans neither past due nor impaired has been assessed as high based on information on counterparty 
and historical counter party default. The carrying value of the Groups trade, other receivables and loans are denominated in Australian dollars, 
NZ dollars, Japanese Yen and Euros.

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CASH DEPOSITS

Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Group in accordance with the Board-approved policy. 
Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. There is also exposure to credit risk when the Group 
provides a guarantee to another party. Details of contingent liabilities are disclosed in note 27. There are no significant concentrations of 
credit risk within the Group.

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.

A tax-consolidated group was formed with effect from 1 July 2003 and is 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 23.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES OF THE PARENT ENTITY

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. Refer to 
note 27 for further information regarding the contingent liabilities of the parent entity.

INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

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 Group’s share of the profit or 
loss and other comprehensive income of the joint venture. When the Group’s share of losses of a joint venture exceeds the Group’s interest 
in that joint venture (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the joint venture), 
the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group 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 Group’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 Group’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.

The requirements of AASB 9 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group’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 Group 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 Group retains an interest in the former joint venture and the retained interest is a financial asset, the 
Group 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 9. 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 Group 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 Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification 
adjustment) when the equity method is discontinued.

The Group 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 Group reduces its ownership interest in a joint venture but the Group continues to use the equity method, the Group 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 Group transacts with a joint venture of the group, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the joint venture are recognised 
in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the joint venture that are not related to the Group.

On 24 November 2014, the Group acquired 50% equity of a joint venture called Stuart Preston Pty Ltd as Trustee for the Preston Holdings 
Family Trust / Hot Cell Pty Ltd Partnership. On 30 March 2015, the Group acquired 50% equity of a joint venture called Triumphant Pizza Pty 
Ltd / Hot Cell Partnership.

On 4 April 2016, the Group acquired 50% equity of a joint venture called Northern Beaches Enterprises Pty Ltd as trustee for the Northern 
Beaches Trust/ Hot Cell Pty Ltd Partnership.

As per February 3, 2017 Domino’s Pizza Netherlands B.V. entered into a joint venture named Domino’s Pizza GEO B.V. with a franchisee, Mr. 
Steenks (50% each). Upon establishing this joint venture a total of three corporate stores previously owned by Domino’s and two stores owned 
by the franchisee were transferred to the legal entity.

Included above are guarantees provided to third party financial institutions in relation to franchisee loans. This is a contingent liability 
representing 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. 
Included in the above are contingent liabilities of the parent entity of $4,703 thousand.

ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

LEGAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS

The Group operates in a number of jurisdictions with different regulatory and legal requirements. Given this complexity, management is at 
times required to exercise judgement in evaluating compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

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 filed an appeal to these decisions in the Court of Appeal, which dismissed the appeal of SRP in the main claim on 25 October 2017 and the 
appeal of SRP and/or SRP franchisees in five local claims on 12 December 2018. SRP has filed an appeal from the decision in the main claim and 
in 2 local claims to the Cour de Cassation. It is not yet clear when a decision will be handed down by the Cour de Cassation in the main claim, 
but it is expected to be by the end of 2019. For the sixth local claim, the Court found in favour of DPF at first instance in September 2016, and 
SRP filed an appeal from this decision to the Court of Appeal. On 30 January 2018, the Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal of SRP in the 
sixth local claim. The two SRP franchisees have filed an appeal from that decision to the Cour de Cassation. The seventh local claim has yet 
to be heard by the Court at first instance.

DPE denies all claims made and is vigorously defending the proceedings brought against it. DPE is confident of its legal and commercial position. 
Accordingly, no provision has been recognised as at 30 June 2019.

27  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Continued)

PIZZA SPRINT

In May 2016, proceedings were brought against Fra-Ma Pizz SAS and Pizza Center France SAS, the Pizza Sprint entities, by a number of former 
and current franchisees whom allege a significant imbalance in the rights and obligations by the franchisor. The alleged practices predated 
the acquisition of Pizza Sprint by the company, accordingly during the re-measurement period the company has adjusted the purchase price 
accounting to recognise a contingent liability and asset in relation to the above matter. A number of the claims by franchisees have been 
settled on a commercial basis.

The French Ministry for the Economy and Finance has also brought proceedings involving the same facts against Fra-Ma Pizza SAS, Pizza Center 
France SAS and Domino’s Pizza France SAS. The claims are being defended. The franchisees have sought to have their proceedings joined to 
the proceedings brought by the Ministry, which DPF, Fra-Ma-Pizz SAS and Pizza Center France SAS have opposed. The decision handed down 
on this matter on 15 February 2018 has rejected this claim.

Hearing of the claims at the first instance has taken place on 24 June 2019 for all the Pizza Sprint proceedings (brought by the former and 
current franchisees and by the French Ministry for the Economy and Finance). Decisions will be handed down on 1 October 2019.

PRECISION TRACKING

During the current period DPE has settled its dispute with Precision Tracking Pty Ltd, Delivery Command Pty Ltd and the three directors of 
these two companies, agreeing to discontinue against each other their general respective claims. Therefore, this matter is no longer considered 
a contingent matter.

CLASS ACTION

On 25 June 2019, Riley Gall, as the representative Applicant, commenced a representative proceeding (class action) against the Company in 
the Federal Court of Australia on behalf of Australian franchisee employees who were employed as delivery drivers or in-store workers between 
24 June 2013 and 23 January 2018. The Company was formally served with the proceeding on 1 July 2019.

The statement of claim alleges, amongst other things, that Domino’s misled its franchisees by advising them to pay delivery drivers and in-
store workers under a series of industrial instruments and not the Fast Food Industry Award 2010. The statement of claim does not quantify 
the damages the claimants will seek in the proceedings for all or any part of the claim period.

The Company rejects the allegation and intends to defend the action.

At this early stage of the proceedings, the Company is unable to determine any possible obligation or financial impact of this matter.

GENERAL CONTINGENCIES

As a global business, from time to time DPE is also subject to various claims and litigation from third parties during the ordinary course of its 
business. The directors of DPE have considered such matters which are or may be subject to claims or litigation at 30 June 2019 and unless 
specific provisions have been made are of the opinion that no material contingent liability for such claims of litigation exist. The group had no 
other material contingent assets or liabilities.

28  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On 20 August 2019, the directors declared a final dividend for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 as set out in note 16.

Other than the above, there has been no further matters or circumstance occurring subsequent to the end of the financial year that has 
significantly affected, the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs.

OTHER INFORMATION

29  RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

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. Re-measurement, 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. Re-measurement 
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 Group 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 
Group’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available.

ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

DISCOUNT RATE USED TO DETERMINE THE CARRYING AMOUNT OF THE GROUP’S DEFINED BENEFIT OBLIGATION

The Group’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.

DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS - DOMINO’S PIZZA JAPAN, INC.

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

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

The plan typically exposes the Group to actuarial risks such as: interest rate risk, retention risk and salary risk which impacts the plan as follows:

• 

Interest rate risk: A decrease in the bond interest rate in Japan will increase the plan liability by reducing the discount rate;

•  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; and

•  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.

33  OTHER ITEMS

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

In the current year, the Group has applied a number of amendments to Australian accounting standards and new interpretations issued by 
the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatorily effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 02 July 
2018 and therefore relevant for the current year end.

STANDARDS AFFECTING PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE

AASB15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Group has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (AASB 15) from 02 July 2018, which supersedes AASB 118 Revenue 
(AASB 118). AASB 15 is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. See below 
the details of the impact of the Group’s revenue streams for the adoption of AASB 15.

Impact of Adoption

As the Group has adopted the modified transitional approach to implementation and the new standard has therefore been applied only to 
contracts that remain in force at 02 July 2018. A transition adjustment has been recognised in retained earnings on transition at 02 July 2018 
without adjustment to comparatives.

Impact of Adoption on Revenue Streams

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third 
parties. The Group recognises revenue from the following significant sources:

SALE OF GOODS

In the previous reporting period, revenue from the sale of good was recognised when the Group had transferred to the buyer the significant 
risk and rewards of ownership. In applying AASB 15, revenue associated with the sale of goods is recognised when the performance obligation 
of the sale has been made and control of the goods has been transferred to the customer. Therefore, the adoption of AASB 15 has not had a 
material impact on the revenue recognition in relation to the sale of goods.

SERVICE REVENUE

The Group provides services to franchisees and other third parties which are carried out under the instructions of the customer. Prior to the 
adoption of AASB 15, revenue from the provision of services was recognised when the services were rendered and based on reference to the 
stage of completion of the contract. In adoption AASB 15, no adjustments have been made to when the Group recognises revenue relating 
the rendering of services as the Group recognises revenue over the period in which the services are being rendered.

FRANCHISE ROYALTIES

Franchise agreements entitle the contracted party to access the Domino’s name and associated intellectual property (the ‘franchise right’) in 
exchange for fees. The majority of this fee is based on a percentage of the applicable franchisee’s stores sales. Continuing sale-based royalties 
represent substantial majority of the consideration the Group receives under the Group’s franchise agreements. Continuing sale-based royalties 
are generally invoiced and paid on a weekly basis and were recognised as the related sale occurred. The timing and the amount of revenue 
recognised relating to continuing sales-based royalties were not impacted by the adoption of AASB 15 on the basis that the recognition of the 
sales-based royalty continues to be recognised when the related franchisee sales occur as this reasonably depicts the Group’s performance 
toward the complete satisfaction of the franchise license performance obligation to which the sales-based royalty has been allocated.

The Group’s franchise agreements also typically include certain less significant, one-off fees. These fees include initial fees paid upon executing 
a franchise agreement, renewal of the term of the franchise right and fees paid in the event the franchise agreement is transferred to another 
franchisee (collectively termed initial fees). Under AASB 118 revenue relating to initial fees were recognised when the related upfront services 
were provided. Upon adoption of AASB 15, the Group has determined that the initial fees are highly interrelated with the franchise right and are 
not individually distinct from the ongoing services provided to franchisees. As a result, upon adoption of AASB 15, initial fees are recognised 
over the term of each respective franchise agreement. Revenue from these initial franchise fees are recognised on straight-line basis, which 
is consistent with the franchisee’s right to use and benefit from the intellectual property. This resulted in an increase in revenue of $1,423 
thousand, recognition of contract liabilities of $18,696 thousand and deferred tax asset of $5,784 thousand. An opening retained earnings 
adjustment of $17 thousand was recognised by Non-Controlling Interests on adoption of AASB 15.

NATIONAL ADVERTISING FUNDS

The Group receives an additional franchise fee that is based on a percentage of gross revenue of the franchisee. The fees are to be used on 
advertising activities that will benefit the brand, franchisees and Group. With the adoption of AASB 15, the Group has determined that it is not 
a separate performance obligation from the franchise right and therefore the services are bundled as a single distinct performance obligation. 
Because the fee is also a sales-based royalty, revenue is received in relation to the advertising fund is recognised when the related franchisee 
sales occur. National advertising fund expenses are recognised as incurred. This has resulted in a gross up in the amount reported of revenue 
of $115,764 thousand, employee benefit expense of $7,746 thousand and marketing expenses of $108,018 thousand, however, the impact 
is generally expected to be an offsetting increase to both revenue and expenses such that the impact on income from operations and net 
income is not expected to be material.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

AASB 9 Financial Instruments (‘AASB 9’) replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurements (‘AASB 139’) for annual 
period beginning on or after 01 January 2018, bringing together all three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: classification and 
measurement; impairment; and hedge accounting.

IMPACT OF ADOPTION

The Group adopted AASB 9 on 02 July 2018, which resulted in changes in accounting policies. Amounts recognised in the financial statements 
as at this date did not require any material adjustments on application of the new accounting policies. The standard replaced the provisions of 
AASB 139 that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities; derecognition of financial 
instruments; impairment of financial assets; and hedge accounting.

33  OTHER ITEMS (Continued)

For transition, the Group has elected to apply the limited exemption in AASB 9 relating to the classification, measurement and impairment 
requirements for financial assets and accordingly has not restated comparative periods.

The Group applies the new forward-looking expected credit loss (ECL) model required by AASB 9, using the simplified approach for its trade 
receivables portfolio review and the general approach for all other financial assets as required by the standard. There was an insignificant 
impact on transition to AASB 9 on the Group’s opening balances as at 02 July 2018.

CLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT

On 01 July 2018, the Group assessed the classification of its financial assets on the basis of the contractual terms of their cash flows and the 
business model by which they are managed. All of the Group’s financial assets were previously classified as loans and receivables or held to 
maturity and were reclassified to held at amortised cost on transition date.

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Group’s risk management strategies and associated hedge documentation have been aligned with the requirements of AASB 9 and existing 
hedging relationships under AASB 139 have been treated as continuing hedges.

IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

The Group implemented the new forward-looking expected credit loss model which is required for certain financial instruments. The simplified 
approach was used for the trade receivables portfolio and the general approach used for franchisee loans. There was an insignificant impact 
on application of the expected credit loss model.

CLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

The Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories: those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other 
comprehensive income (FVOCI) or through profit or loss (FVPL)) and those to be held at amortised cost. Refer to note 20 regarding classification 
of financial assets. The adoption of AASB 9 did not have a material impact on classification.

33  OTHER ITEMS (Continued)

Classification depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Management 
determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. Generally, the Group does not acquire financial assets for the purpose 
of selling in the short-term. When the Group enters into derivative contracts, these transactions are designed to reduce exposures relating 
to assets and liabilities, firm commitments or anticipated transactions.

AASB 2016-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Classification and Measurement 
of Share-based Payment Transactions

Amends AASB 2 Share Based Payments to clarify how to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions. The amendments 
provide requirements on the accounting for:

•  The effect of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments

•  Share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations

•  A modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash settled 

to equity settled.

AASB 2017-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Transfers of Investments Property, 
Annual Improvements 2014-2016 Cycle and Other Amendments

The amendments clarify certain requirements in:

•  AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards - deletion of exemptions for first-time adopters and addition of an exemption 

arising from AASB Interpretation 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

•  AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities - clarification of scope

•  AASB 128 Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures - measuring an associate or joint venture at fair value

•  AASB 140 Investment Property - change in use.

The adoption of these amendments did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in prior periods and will also not affect the current 
or future periods.

NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 02 July 2018 reporting periods and 
have not been early adopted by the group. The group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 Leases specifies how to recognise, measure and disclosure leases. It will result in almost all leases being recognised on the balance 
sheet, as the distinction between operating and finance leases has been removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the 
leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognised. The only exceptions are short-term and low-value leases. The accounting 
for lessors will not significantly change.

IMPACT

AASB 16 will require the recognition of a right of use asset and a lease liability based on the discounted value of committed lease payments as 
lessee. These lease payments are currently expensed within occupancy expenses, will be replaced by the straight-line depreciation expense 
of the right of use asset and will reduce the lease liability. As the lease liability will be carried at present value, an interest expense will arise over 
the duration of the lease term. The principal component of lease payments will be classified in the statement of cash flows from operating to 
financing activities. In assessing the adoption of AASB 16, the Group has made certain assumptions and judgements in relation to economic 
conditions including but not limited to borrowing rates, composition of lease portfolio and likely exercise of renewal options that may cause 
the actual output to differ from that concluded at 30 June 2019.

Domino’s occupied-operated properties

Leasehold properties occupied by the Group are primarily Group operated Domino’s branded stores, warehouse and offices. For these 
properties, the balance sheet will be adjusted to recognise a right of use asset and associated lease liability. The financial liability will be 
measured at the net present value of future payments under the lease, including optional renewal periods, where the Group assessed that 
the probability of exercising the renewal is reasonably certain.

Notes to the Financial Statements
continued

33  OTHER ITEMS (Continued)

The Group will initially apply the new standard using the modified retrospective approach, which requires no restatement of comparative 
information. On transition, the right of use asset will be measured, on a lease by lease basis, at either (a) the value of the lease liability adjusted for 
any prepaid or accrued lease payments; or (b) present value of committed lease payments since commencement of the lease, less cumulative 
straight-line depreciation and utilising 01 July 2019 discount rates for durations equivalent to the remaining lease term (this approach results 
in an adjustment to opening retained earnings).

In the income statement, net rental expense will be replaced by net interest expense and a straight-lined depreciation expense (currently 
operating leases are expensed within occupancy expenses). As the lease liability will be carried at the present value, an interest expense 
will arise over the duration of the lease term. This is expected to impact the Group’s earnings before interest and tax (‘EBIT’), which is a key 
measure used by the business. The principal component of lease payments will be reclassified in the statement of cash flows from operating 
to financing activities.

The Group will elect to use the exemptions in the standard on lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value and if the lease 
term is less than 12 months.

Subleases arrangements

The Group has a portfolio of long-term ‘back-to-back’ property leases which secure competitive store locations on behalf of franchisees. 
Cash flows under these arrangements substantially offset each other.

For back-to-back leases, the adoption of AASB 16 will result in the recognition of a financial asset and financial liability, representing the present 
value of future cash flows receivable on the sublease and payable on the head lease respectively. Both categories of financial instruments 
are expected to generate interest (income and expense, respectively), resulting from the unwinding of the discount over the lease term. The 
impact of interest income and expense, which will be presented on a gross basis (compared to a net basis for the year ended 30 June 2019), 
is expected to materially offset within the income statement.

The recoverability of the financial asset will be assessed at each reporting date.

Estimated impact from adoption of the standard

The Group has substantially completed its assessment of the impact of the adoption of the new standard; however certain technical and 
judgemental aspects remain open, including the refinement and application of lease terms for leases with renewal options. The estimated 
impact on the Group on the consolidated statement of financial performance as at 01 July 2019 is set out below allowing for these uncertainties.
