bringing a mix of qualifications, 
experience, and geographies to 
their roles.  

Domino’s also committed to 
having 30% female directors. 
With our newest member 
Doreen Huber, a resident of 
Germany, serving alongside 
Lynda O’Grady and Uschi 
Schreiber, the board now has 
50% female representation 
and a wealth of experience 
from diverse professional and 
geographic backgrounds.

We look forward to continuing 
to represent our shareholders, 
confident of the significant 
opportunities that are still 
ahead for us. 

JACK COWIN
CHAIRMAN

This year has been the most 
extraordinary time of change 
that I have experienced in five 
decades in this industry. 

For the first six months of 
this year, the Board and 
Management were pleased with 
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd’s 
(Domino’s) performance; the 
company was delivering on its 
strategy, with an operational 
performance in line with 
expectations.

Soon after releasing our 
Half Year report, the world 
changed for Domino’s and 
the communities we serve. 
While Coronavirus Disease 
2019 (COVID-19) required many 
businesses to close for an 
undetermined period and to 
rethink their business model 
and strategy, Domino’s has been 
privileged to be able to continue 
to serve our customers, albeit 
with two temporary closures 
(New Zealand and France). 
The Company’s strategy – of 
delivering safe, affordable, 
high-quality meals – remains 
unchanged.  

Ensuring business stability 
throughout a time of 
uncertainty and rapid change 
was made possible by the 
people and safety focus of 
management, and the efforts 
of tens of thousands across the 
Domino’s network – franchisees, 
team members and office staff 
in nine countries.  Domino’s 
Pizza Enterprises Ltd was 
fortunate to be part of a greater 
Domino’s family during this 
time, sharing their experiences 
and improvements, for the 
safety and benefit of all. On 

behalf of the Board, I thank all 
of those involved for their hard 
work and commitment and 
commend Management for 
their leadership. 

It is this hard work, 
commitment and leadership 
that has ensured this is still 
a record year for Domino’s; 
for group sales, earnings, and 
returns to shareholders. A 
prudent approach to growth 
and investment has delivered 
an underlying return on equity 
of 40.8%, with a three-year 
average return on equity of 
41%. It is also a record year for 
charitable giving, for group-
wide recruitment initiatives,  
and for community support.  

This year has demonstrated 
that it truly is possible for us 
collectively, to do good, and to 
do well. 

I am pleased to report the 
investment community has 
supported our strategy, and 
results, with Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd delivering total 
shareholder returns of 83.79% 
this Financial Year, ranking 
2nd in the ASX100. 

Stability is possible 
while still delivering 
progress, and the 
board itself has 
demonstrated this 
with a renewal 
process that 
culminated in its 
expansion by one 
member this year. 
The board is both 
independent and 
representative, 
with members

DON MEIJ
GROUP CEO & MANAGING DIRECTOR

At our Annual General Meeting 
in October 2019, I explained the 
Purpose and Values of Domino’s 
Pizza Enterprises Ltd. 

Our Purpose is the summary 
of why we do what we do: “Our 
pizza brings people closer.” 

In a year of social distancing 
and societal restrictions, our 
pizza brought together our 
franchisees and team members 
– united in a single focus on 
safely delivering high-quality 
meals, at an affordable 

price, serving our customers, 
and wider communities. 

Our Purpose was tested in 
unexpected ways this year. I am 
pleased to report it has been  
key to us navigating through 
this pandemic. “Our pizza brings 
people closer” is also the theme 
of this year’s Annual Report. 

Our Group performance this 
year can best be assessed 
‘Before COVID-19’ and ‘During  
COVID-19’. Before COVID-19, 
Domino’s reported H1 global 
food sales increased 10.6% (4.1% 
on a Same Store Sales basis) 
with particularly strong sales 
and profitability growth in 
Europe, offsetting short-term 
domestic headwinds, including 
operating a higher than historic 
number of corporate stores in 
Australia. 

During COVID-19, societal 
restrictions affected our 
customers’ lives, and their 
ordering behaviours. In March, 
Domino’s stores closed 

temporarily in France, 
then in New Zealand. 
Our regional CEOs 
and leaders provide 
more detail of our 
response in this 
report: all of those 
involved can be 
proud of their 
people-first 
approaches. 

Throughout, our performance 
has benefited from our prudent, 
long-term investments in 
fulfilling every stage of our 
customers’ orders; Domino’s 
has been able to minimise the 
financial impact of COVID-19.  
The total estimated negative 
impact on EBITDA was $8.2 
million.  This comprised $14.1m 
in additional costs to support 
our store network, which was 
partially offset by increased 
EBITDA from royalty and other 
revenue of $2.7m and $3.2m in 
government assistance in the 
form of wages support and pay-
roll tax relief, which successfully 
prevented widespread furloughs.

For the full year, global food 
sales increased +12.8%, +5.8% 
on a Same Stores Sales basis. 
Online sales (+21.4% to $2.357 
billion – 72% of total sales) 
underpinned this performance, 
with customers accelerating 
their preference to order, and 
pay, online. Underlying EBIT of 
$228.7 million, increased +3.6%. 
We maintained a strong balance 
sheet and cashflow position 
throughout, expanding our 
network with 163 new stores. 

These figures, however, were not 
the most important measure 
of our performance this year. 
In FY20, we employed more 
than 65,000 team members, 
advertised for more than 13,000 
team members, purchased more 
than 15.5 million items of PPE 
and other safety equipment, and 
donated more than 200,000 free 
pizzas for those most affected by 
COVID-19.  

These are arguably some of the 
most important investments I 
have been involved with in more 
than 30 years in this business. 

“

DESPITE EXTRAORDINARY UPHEAVAL IN OUR COMMUNITIES, OUR TEAM MEMBERS 
HAVE MAINTAINED THEIR FOCUS ON SERVING OUR CUSTOMERS AND COMMUNITIES, 
RESPECTING EACH OTHER, AND DELIVERING EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. 
I AM PROUD TO BE A MEMBER OF THEIR TEAM. 

”

JAPAN 
Lower levels of societal 
restrictions allowed for 
significant growth in carry-out 
and delivery orders. Customers 
chose Domino’s as a safe, 
affordable, high-quality meal 
option in record numbers, and 
our local stores rose to the 
challenge with high levels of 
customer service, including 
market-leading delivery times. 

Network sales increased +38.0%* 
(+18.4% on a Same Store Sales 
basis). These record sales 
increased EBITDA +42.3% to 
$103.3m.  

The ability of our network and 
stores to service this unexpected, 
and record demand, was directly 
linked to strategic decisions 
taken in the past two years. 
These included broadening 
the menu (through our Barbell 
strategy), and fortressing 
metropolitan markets by 
opening record numbers of new 
stores – expanding the network 
by 30% in two years. 

*(Network sales growth in $AUD).

EUROPE 
European operations recorded 
material differences in 
performance, reflecting varied 
approaches from government 
and society responding to high 
levels of COVID-19 cases. The 
effect on sales performance 
ranged from France, which was 
temporarily closed in March 
for two weeks, before stores 
progressively reopened over 
the following weeks, to the 
Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, 
Luxembourg), where an increase 
in delivery initially did not offset 
a decline in carry-out orders, to 
Denmark and Germany, where 
strong delivery growth brought 
positive Same Store Sales 
Growth.

The combined contribution 
delivered EBITDA of $83.4m 
(+1.8%, on Network Sales of 
$1,234.43m, (+8.6%*, and +2.8% on 
a Same Store Sales basis). 

Netherlands and Belgium
reported important new 
milestones for the Benelux, 
opening the 300th Dutch 
store and the 100th Belgian 
store. As the Benelux network 
has expanded to become one 
of the largest quick service 
restaurant businesses in the 
market, Domino’s has invested 
in infrastructure to support 
this growth. This year local 
management was proud to 
open a new, state-of-the-art 
commissary, in Nieuwegein 
to support existing and future 
stores in the market. 

ANZ 
In Australia customer changes 
during COVID-19 affected stores 
in substantially different ways; 
initially CBD and tourist stores 
serviced fewer customers, while 
suburban stores recorded higher 
sales as these same customers 
stayed, and ordered, at home. 

New store openings were 
lower than anticipated (+10) 
due to the short-term societal 
restrictions in New Zealand, and 
existing franchisees and store 
managers choosing to purchase 
corporate stores to expand 
their businesses. Nonetheless, 
as one of the most successful 
international markets in the 
Domino’s system, the Australian 
team were proud to open the 
17,000th Domino’s in the world, 
in the western Sydney suburb of 
Bradbury. 

Local operations were rapidly 
adjusted to offer COVID-safe 
procedures, while marketing was 
tailored to regional differences 
in customer ordering patterns. 
This responsive approach to 
customer demand ensured 
network sales grew +4.1% (+5.1% 
on a Same Store Sales basis).

Domino’s invested in targeted, 
short-term support for those 
stores affected by circumstances 
beyond their control, ensuring 
they were able to service their 
customers on their return. This 
additional investment lowered 
EBITDA -5.8% to $129.4m.

The board of Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd would like to pay 
special tribute to team members 
for their dedication, innovation and 
disciplined efforts during COVID-19. 

innovation that allowed our stores 
to handle unexpected changes in 
customer ordering behaviours and 
volumes – without pause. 

More than 50,000 ‘Dominoids’ across 
nine countries have consistently 
gone above and beyond – to 
protect the health and wellbeing of 
themselves, their colleagues, and our 
customers, to donate much-needed 
meals to the frontline, and to help 
local communities stay socially 
distanced by delivering hot, fresh 
meals to their homes. 

What has stood out to me and my 
fellow Non-Executive Directors has 
been the values-driven approach 
by management, franchisees and 
team members. A people-first 
approach has been constantly on 
display, from the professionalism and 
ingenuity which saw new procedures 
invented and implemented, 
seemingly overnight, through to 
communication efforts such as 
letters informing parents of safety 
measures protecting their children. 

Some of these innovations were 
highly visible to our customers, 
such as Zero Contact Delivery (for 
which Domino’s was a leader in our 
markets). Others were less visible, but 
no less important. These included 
a tremendous supply chain effort 
with our partners to ensure our team 
members had the ingredients and 
products they needed (such as face 
masks, for the first time) and  digital 

The board and management 
recognise trading during COVID-19 
is a privilege, not a right. Unlike 
some businesses and industries, we 
have had the ongoing privilege to 
serve our communities. This meant 
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd 
has not needed to furlough large 
numbers of employees, nor has our 
network experienced any COVID-
related insolvencies – testament to 
the flexibility and robustness of our 
franchise model. Where we have 
had short-term market closures 
or stand-downs, we have done all 
we can to ensure we helped those 
team members avoid hardship, and 
welcomed them back to their roles as 
quickly as possible. 

COVID-19 will blight our community 
for the foreseeable future. We are 
confident the values of Domino’s and 
the extraordinary team effort, led by 
our Group CEO & Managing Director 
Don Meij and management in all 
countries, have ensured this business 
will continue to thrive no matter 
what challenges this pandemic 
imposes in our future. 

The board thanks every team 
member for their efforts – we are 
proud to be their colleagues.

Instore modifications during COVID-19

 
 
 
 
 
 
WHAT WE DID

We communicated 
extensively with our 
customers, employees and 
suppliers about these new 
health and safety procedures  

We introduced mandatory 
temperature testing of employees
and ensured all stores had an 
escalation procedure and points of 
contact in the event of an unwell 
employee 

We limited cash payments 
or removed cash payment 
options entirely

We modified our customer waiting 
areas and kitchens to comply 
with social distancing measures, 
including installing outward-facing 
screens for customers to wait 
outside for their orders

We increased the frequency 
of all cleaning and sanitisation 
procedures, with hourly digital 
alarm reminders  

We provided (where mandatory) 
or made available (where optional) 
face masks and non-food handling  
disposable gloves for staff 

We ran an education campaign 
highlighting the safety of our 
products, in particular, that our 
pizzas are cooked in ovens that 
exceed 240 degrees Celsius and are 
not touched again by human hands 
and we applied tamper-proof seals 
to pizza boxes  

We were privileged to hire 
more team members to serve 
communities, and to help team 
members avoid financial distress

By necessity, an overview of 
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd’s 
response to COVID-19 is an essential 
component of the Company’s Annual 
Report for the 2020 Financial Year. 
The virus has caused an ongoing 
pandemic for which (at the time 
of writing this report) there is no 
foreseeable end in the near-term. 

Other than two, short-term market 
closures, Domino’s stores have had 
the privilege to continue to serve our 
customers and communities. 

Prior to the conclusion of the 
Financial Year, the Company 
provided five updates to the 

Australian Securities Exchange. 
This included a ‘CEO Webcast 
Presentation,’ with Group CEO & 
Managing Director Don Meij and 
four other members of Domino’s 
Global Leadership Team providing an 
update on the Company’s response 
to the pandemic, and observations 
on changes to customer behaviour in 
the communities we serve. 

This section of the report outlines 
the Company’s response ‘During 
COVID-19’ and is both a report-to-
date and, because the pandemic is 
ongoing, an in-progress report.

(even where this was not essential due to low 
virus levels). This decision ensured that, when 
local conditions and corresponding health advice 
changed, Domino’s was prepared to move fast to 
respond.  

INITIAL RESPONSES 
Management determined one of the business 
risks to Domino’s operations was the potential 
to spread the virus between stores; either 
through team members and/or suppliers working 
between multiple stores, or through training 
events.  

For example, regional management decided 
to cancel or delay planned mass gatherings, 
including the ‘Rally’ for both Germany and 
Australia/New Zealand, in which team members 
from across the country gather annually to learn 
best practice and celebrate their achievements. 
This early decision to reduce the number of 
team members from different stores being in 
close proximity reduced the opportunity for any 
individual case to affect multiple stores, as was 
seen in other businesses. 

Despite scepticism from many in the community, 
Domino’s identified the need during this phase 
for changes to operational methods that had 
been developed over decades. Most visibly, 
this included moving to ‘Zero Contact Delivery’ 
(initially as an option for customers in the Benelux 
from March 10). 

Other, less visible steps included changes to 
procedures for Domino’s offices, including 
restrictions to work-travel arrangements for 
staff, new procedures for office visitors, as well 
as extensive planning to allow corporate team 
members to work from home. 

These rapid changes were made possible 
because of the already high standards of hygiene, 
food safety, and training already in place in every 
Domino’s country, and every store. Existing, well-
practised platforms to develop and communicate 
new procedures were put into action for 
COVID-19.

Domino’s has consistently focused on listening 
to our customers and during COVID-19 our 
customers’ voice – through social media 
monitoring, focus groups, and online and third-
party surveys – helped guide our response. 
Broadly, Domino’s response to customer 
expectations has been in three phases. 
PHASE 1 
The World Health Organisation declared 
COVID-19 a pandemic on 11 March 2020. Prior 
to this declaration, our regional management 
– learning from other Domino’s markets – had 
already identified and implemented changes 
to operations to protect our team members, 
customers and our business.  

This was possible because Domino’s recognised it 
was important for customers and team members 
not only to be safe, but to feel safe as well. 
This meant the Company was proactive, often 
implementing new approaches before these 
were required by local authorities. For example, 
despite a higher level of scepticism in the 
community regarding the scale and seriousness 
of the threat posed by COVID-19, Domino’s was at 
the forefront of offering Zero Contact Delivery to 
customers in all markets. 

HOW WERE THESE DECISIONS MADE? 
With multiple sources of information providing 
sometimes conflicting updates on the spread 
and risk of COVID-19, an initial decision was made 
to reaffirm that the health and safety of people 
would be at the core of Domino’s operations, and 
that advice from local health authorities would be 
prioritised.  

This meant Domino’s took early steps within our 
supply-chain, where our team worked to secure 
our staff and customers (pre-ordering sufficient 
supplies of sanitiser and personal protective 
equipment), and to secure our supply (to ensure 
stores could continue to offer a full menu at all 
times). 

These early decisions, particularly the 
prioritisation of local health authority advice, 
ensured Domino’s stores would take safe, 
appropriate action that met, or exceeded, the 
response necessary for local virus conditions 
at all times. For example, Domino’s purchased 
masks for team members in all regions. The 
wearing of masks was mandated in some regions 
in accordance with local health advice, and 
elsewhere masks were provided free of charge

PHASE 2 
Following the World Health Organisation 
pandemic declaration, community expectations 
rapidly shifted towards fear of the progress of 
COVID-19.  

One of the most visible examples of changing 
customer expectations related to the use of Zero 
Contact Delivery. Customer attitudes towards 
this innovation shifted from viewing this as an 
overreaction in Phase 1 to now being a necessity 
essential for protection of team members and 
customers. 

In mid-March, Domino’s corporate offices moved 
largely to work from home, allowing a virtually 
seamless transition in the way support for stores 
was delivered, made possible because of the 
extensive planning work and testing already 
undertaken. This included updates to IT systems 
and communications platforms to allow for a 
rapid increase in simultaneous users.  

Domino’s Global Leadership Team started 
daily video conferences, bringing in subject 
matter experts, from both across the business 
and externally; to share updates, insights and 
expertise, and to act quickly to strengthen the 
global response.

The 18th of March (France local time) was a 
key moment in Domino’s Pizza Enterprises 
Ltd’s history; Domino’s commenced a 15-day 
closure of all stores in France. While stores 
were legally permitted to trade, the decision to 
temporarily close these stores was consistent 
with the Company’s approach in responding to 
community expectations. 

During this time, with societal restrictions on 
movements increasing, and with significant 
uncertainty of the likely effect of COVID-19 – new 
store construction and plans for new stores were 
paused in many countries. 

At this point, Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd 
expanded the principles that determined its 
course of action through this pandemic. In 
addition to ensuring the safety and wellbeing 
of our people, and our customers, management 
recognised “It is a privilege, not a right, to be open 
during this time”. 

IT IS A PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT TO BE OPEN 
In the history of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd, 
the right to operate was determined by the 
company’s ability to safely provide high-quality, 
affordable meals that met the demand from 
customers, while meeting and exceeding local 
government regulations. 

In addition to requiring a legal right to operate, 
the pandemic also required a social licence to 
operate. The decision in France, sector-wide 
closures affecting other industries in all markets, 
and the five week closure of Domino’s in New 
Zealand, demonstrated this social licence 
required the ongoing support of five pillars: 
government, community, customers, franchisees 
and team members.  

This understanding continues to guide 
management’s decision-making; from providing 
one-off support to install physical barriers in store 
foyers, through to communicating directly to 
the parents of young team members regarding 
the steps taken to protect their child’s safety. 
Management recognises the importance of 
meeting the needs of all partners as a necessary 
requirement for continued trading. 

CHANGES IN CUSTOMER BEHAVIOUR 
- AND DOMINO’S RESPONSE 
Domino’s trading through Phase 2 reflected 
customers’ responses to their local virus 
conditions. As local health authorities 
recommended people stay inside and reduce 
unnecessary travel, the desire and ability for 
customers to order carry-out declined in many 
markets and the number of customers choosing 
delivered meals increased. Across every region, 
Domino’s became one of the few companies 
seeking to hire more team members, to ensure 
the growth in delivery could be appropriately 
resourced. 

As offices closed, universities cancelled classes, 
and holiday plans for families were postponed, 
in favour of communities staying home en 
masse, some Domino’s stores in CBD, university, 
and tourism locations experienced a decline in 
foot traffic and orders, while many suburban 
stores reported increased sales from these same 
customers. Domino’s was well placed to respond 
to these changes; six decades of experience in 
food delivery in the Domino’s system meant, 

 16 // 2020 ANNUA L RE PORT D O MI N O ’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED.

rather than develop an entirely new business 
model, Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd needed to 
increase resourcing for delivery orders. The timing 
of customers’ orders changed as well – because 
the regular patterns of weekday and weekend 
life were disrupted, so too were customers’ meal 
preferences. Domino’s stores experienced an 
increase in orders during the week, and earlier in 
the day. 

indulgence and escapism – one of the few treat 
options possible during this time – with safety 
messages continued, but as a supplement rather 
than the primary message.   

Domino’s franchisees, experienced in responding 
to rapid changes in operations and community 
expectations, returned their focus to expansion, 
recommencing planning and new store 
construction. 

The short-term changes to customer ordering 
started to return to pre-COVID-19 patterns, with 
mid-week orders shifting back to weekends, and 
carry-out customers venturing out of their homes 
and returning to offices, enjoying their favourite 
pizzas and sides. Management in each Domino’s 
country was focused on welcoming back as many 
of these carry-out customers as possible. At the 
same time, stores were focused on retaining 
customers who had enjoyed delivered orders for 
the first time, or who had increased their ordering 
frequency during Phase 2. 

Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd is unable to 
forecast what form the COVID-19 pandemic will 
take next. Instead, the focus of management, 
franchisees and team members is firmly on 
serving customers whenever, and however, they 
choose to order. Domino’s strategy has been built 
to serve a growing demand globally for delivered 
food, ordered online, and the Company’s strategy 
of fortressing local markets, by opening more 
stores, closer to customers, will be critical to 
serving this demand. 

The Company anticipated the Age of Delivery was 
approaching. 

COVID-19 has accelerated the Age of Delivery for 
new and existing customers. Our hard-working 
delivery experts, in store and corporate team 
members, and customer-focused franchisees 
have met the COVID-19 challenge and are 
prepared for the next phase: Fast Forward the 
Age of Delivery. 

Customers also ordered larger meals, for the love 
of leftovers, choosing to order enough pizzas to 
cater for dinner and lunch the next day, rather 
than undertaking another visit to supermarkets 
where shortages of products were common. 
In Japan, where there were fewer restrictions 
on societal movements, but a reluctance by 
customers to dine-in at their regular restaurants, 
Domino’s stores recorded significant growth in 
both carry-out and delivery orders. 

Across all countries Domino’s marketing and 
communications were frequently updated to 
speak directly to customers’ new experiences. 
Customers made it clear they expected 
safety messages to be at the forefront of 
communications, covering everything from the 
ordering and payment process, through meal 
preparation and delivery to the customer’s door.  
Domino’s highlighted its unique ability to deliver 
customers hot, safe meals; cooked in ovens at 
more than 240°C and not touched again by 
human hands. 

PHASE 3
By the end of April, Domino’s stores in France 
and New Zealand had reopened, and stores in all 
nine countries were operating in the new reality: 
“Living with COVID-19”. 

Domino’s determination to prioritise the health 
and wellbeing of our customers, team members 
and our community, remains unwavering. Our 
customers told us they were fatigued from the 
overwhelming changes COVID-19 had brought to 
their lives. They said they expect safety-focused 
initiatives such as Zero Contact Delivery to 
continue, and for food safety to be an ongoing 
priority, but they also seek a return to normalcy, or 
as much as is possible in an ongoing pandemic. 
They have given their permission (if not their 
expectation) for businesses to be ‘fun’ again. 

Our customer approach was updated accordingly. 
Marketing was adjusted again to reflect Domino’s

“Delivering to customers who have been 
isolated for a really long time and you’re 
the first face they’re seeing - that customer 
experience really matters. It’s more than 
just doing a job. It’s actually about human 
connection. 

“I delivered to a mother who was seeing her 
son for the first time in three months and it 
was his birthday. It was really special to be part 
of that experience.”

Bent, 18
DOMINO’S ITZEHOE, GERMANY

“As a Domino’s team member - everyone pulls 
together and a really strong team helps with 
everything.

“Working was always a small ray of hope - a 
pizza delivery was a little highlight for many 
people.

“I delivered to the hospital in Itzehoe with 
store owner Sascha. It felt very good to do 
something for the people who are doing 
everything for us in these difficult times.”

“With the State of Emergency declared 
due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I thought 
because I was just a student, not a healthcare 
professional or a care worker, that there was 
nothing I could do. But that was not the case. 
I am able to make other people happy by my 
smile and care. I was able to learn that my job 
at Domino’s Pizza is to make efforts so that 
customers can feel happiness.”

Domino’s operations teams are 
constantly working to find new 
ways to maximise efficiencies for 
our stores, and at any time will have 
more than 20 trials underway. 

The usual innovation approach 
starts with a new idea and draws on 
expertise across the business to test 
solutions, analyse data, and iterate 
to confirm both; what is the best 
solution, and whether its benefits 
can be realised. As is the nature of 
innovation, not all trials will end in 
success, and the process can take 
months.  

During COVID-19, these months 
became days, with multiple rapid 
innovations required to allow stores 
to keep trading. 

Rachael Keech, Head of Operations 
Innovation, said: “If we look at 
something as ‘simple’ as Zero 
Contact carry-out – the challenge 
was ‘how can we continue to offer 
our carry-out customers choice 
while ensuring social distancing 
and preparing for a situation where 
customers may not even be allowed 
to enter our stores?’.

“With Zero Contact Carry-Out for 
Australia/New Zealand we first took 
learnings from other countries, 
including non-Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd markets. 

“We engaged a mix of franchisees 
to trial a few options in parallel – 
for example we trialled more than 

six bollard types in stores, pickup 
in store and outside, and different 
store layouts – communicating live 
with participants as they shared 
and trialled new options and took 
feedback from customers – ‘what 
was effective and worked for 
everyone?’. 

“Once we identified a safe solution 
we had to ensure every store in 
a country could execute it. We 
published new procedures and an 
online training package so all of 
our team members could deliver 
this new approach in a consistent 
way, and set a target date for 
implementation. We then confirmed 
adaptation through on-the-ground 
inspections and feedback. 

“This could typically take six weeks. 
We barely had six days and had to 
deliver while moving to work from 
home – at the same time we were 
working on a number of COVID-19 
projects including Zero Contact 
Delivery, and External Dispatch 
(where delivery drivers do not enter 
the store). 

“At any time bringing a project to 
fruition requires a team effort, but 
to bring so many to fruition in such 
a short time is testament to the 
collaboration of franchisees and 
team members (in stores and in 
offices) who have the experience and 
passion to make it happen.”

Holiday periods in Japan and Europe 
have traditionally been some of 
the busiest for Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd’s online ordering 
system, One Digital. Changing a 
key IT system to allow more team 
members to work remotely is 
typically a challenging project, 
requiring months of planning and 
execution. Similarly, implementing 
new technologies for store 
operations changes is an important 
responsibility. 

Facing any one of these business- 
critical challenges individually 
requires a capable team. Facing 
all of them simultaneously and 
successfully, as Domino’s has 
done during COVID-19, requires an 
exceptional team. 

Michael Gillespie, Group Chief 
Digital and Technology Officer, said 
COVID-19 had brought unexpected 
challenges – such as turning off, 
and then on, customer service 
options including carry-out – all new 
challenges and solutions, delivered 
at a rapid rate. Team members 
in all markets overcame these 
challenges through industry leading 
technical abilities and unmatched 
commitment.

“We couldn’t have just one priority – 
we had to juggle multiple balls in the 
air, and every challenge thrown at 
us,” Michael said. 

“During our peak periods, our 
systems were processing more than 
10 orders every second, from multiple 
countries at any one time. 

“Meanwhile, where previously we 
planned for fewer than 100 team 
members to work from home,  from 
time-to-time, now we resource more 
than 800 team members who work 
from home all at the same time. We 
added new technologies including 
video conferencing, while ensuring 
we maintain data security and 
connectivity.

“Being able to successfully 
accomplish all of these projects, and 
more, while working in a dispersed 
environment ourselves, was only 
possible because of the systems, 
teams and partnerships (internal and 
external) we have built over more 
than a decade. 

“Every day has brought a new 
challenge, an innovation to deliver, 
and a question to solve – our 
approach has always been to 
work to deliver as fast as possible, 
then to continuously innovate as 
we learn and improve. Doing so 
needs the collaboration with other 
teams, including Legal, Security, 
Communications and Marketing. 

“All of this was done while still 
delivering other projects – a great 
feature of DPE is the ability to dig 
deep and work together, while still 
ensuring we could still support stores 
and stay connected. 

“We’re now reviewing the changes 
we made at the height of COVID-19 
and use the lessons we have learnt in 
the future.”

During COVID-19 our team members 
have dealt with more change in 
six months than many could have 
anticipated in an entire career. In 
the face of new challenges and 
unexpectedly high workloads, they 
have delivered world-class results, 
and our regular surveys shows they 
are more engaged with our business 
than ever before. 

HOW? 
Chief People and Culture Officer 
David Klages said: “This is a people 
business as much as a pizza business. 

“We know that our team members 
have choices, whether to work for 
Domino’s or for another business, 
or whether to work at all. It is the 
responsibility of every manager, 
franchisee and leader, particularly 
during times of uncertainty, to 
demonstrate their workplace is safe, 
their efforts are appreciated, and 
their work has meaning – to our 
business, to customers and to our 
community. 

“With a significant investment in 
personal protective equipment and 
social distancing measures such as 
Zero Contact, we knew that our team 
members’ workplaces are safe, but 
also knew team members needed to 
feel safe. 

“We communicated constantly, to 
franchisees, team members and 
even wrote to the parents of younger 

team members to reassure them 
we would protect the most precious 
delivery in the world – their child. 

“We have consistently celebrated 
good news stories throughout our 
internal communication channels, 
inspiring a ‘mission mentality’ 
among team members, who have 
recognised their work is helping 
to feed those in need, and helping 
social distancing by keeping families 
safe at home.” 

In March, our stores in the Benelux 
decided they would donate pizzas 
to local health care workers and 
hospitals, to thank them for their 
efforts on the frontline of this 
pandemic.  

“This was a perfect example of our 
value ‘Be Generous and Provide 
Joyful Experiences’,” David said. 
“We shared these examples within 
our business and expanded this 
giving worldwide. 

“Our stores have donated more than 
220,000 pizzas, and the response has 
been gratifying. Inside our business, 
the response has arguably been 
even stronger, with team members 
in stores and in offices reporting 
their contribution during COVID-19 
has been one of the most rewarding  
professional experience of their 
career.”

foodbanks to help feed the needy. 

“Our stores were cleaned, top to 
bottom, essential maintenance was 
undertaken, and we had to work 
with our colleagues in multiple 
departments, including IT, Customer 
Feedback, and Marketing, to ensure 
we could turn off our systems and 
communicate with our customers. 

“We spent the next month preparing 
to reopen as soon as we were able 
to, working closely with franchisees 
online to strategise, to ensure they 
recruited additional staff to facilitate 
more deliveries, and to use this 
opportunity to provide additional 
training and team building – all 
virtually. 

“The result was as seamless a 
reopening as was possible during 
a pandemic, with the Mt Eden and 
Lower Hutt stores delivering our first 
‘reopening’ pizzas after midnight on 
the 28th of April. 

“This is a situation we would never 
want to see again, but I’m convinced 
our business and our people will be 
stronger for the experience, and I’m 
so pleased to have worked alongside 
them during this time.” 

Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd stores 
have faced natural disasters and 
local emergencies, but never in the 
Company’s history had it been faced 
with the need to close an entire 
market. 

During the first months of COVID-19, 
it happened twice – in France for 
15 days in consultation with local 
franchisees and team members, 
and in New Zealand, where the 
national government required most 
businesses to close their doors for 
five weeks. 

Domino’s New Zealand General 
Manager Cameron Toomey outlined 
the dynamic situation the country’s 
team members and 76 franchisees 
faced in the lead up to the closure, 
and the efforts required to reopen 
134 stores. 

“In the early stages of the pandemic 
the government outlined the 
level of societal lockdowns that 
would be required if the conditions 
deteriorated – but because the 
situation was dynamic, we had to 
plan initially to close our dine-in 
options, then carry-out, and finally 
close our doors,” Cameron said. 

“Once it became clear our business 
would need to close – initially for four 
weeks – there was a lot of work to be 
done. It became very clear you can’t 
just ‘close the doors’; we increased 
our charitable giving to donate more 
than 30,000 hot meals to healthcare 
and other frontline workers, and 
then donated excess ingredients to

“This meant, in some instances, 
identifying new supply sources, 
confirming products were 
appropriate for our requirements, 
while still delivering value for our 
franchisees. 

“Governments were closing borders 
or limiting movements, and global 
supply chains were stressed with 
blockages in key international ports. 

“Because of the strength of our 
logistics and supply partners, our 
transportations were considered 
an essential service – allowing us 
to work across national and local 
borders.  

“That meant at the height of the 
crisis, our customers could access 
their favourite products as they had 
always done and get them safely 
delivered Zero Contact. That is a 
success few businesses have been 
able to celebrate during COVID-19. 

“This was only possible because of 
the hard work of our team members 
in all countries, the relationships 
and structures that we have built. 
All of our suppliers continued to be 
under pressure, and nevertheless 
ensured supply in all our markets. 
I thank them for their continued 
partnership.”

Domino’s supply chain requires a 
global team to work with partners to 
deliver safe, high-quality products, 
including fresh ingredients, to almost 
2700 stores in nine markets on a just-
in-time basis. Every minute a supply 
truck is arriving at a Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd store, somewhere in 
the world. 

And that is in ordinary times. 

Group Chief Procurement Officer 
John Harney explained the round-
the-clock effort that ensured stores 
that continued to trade were able to 
do so with a full menu, at all times. 

“Speed, agility, and partnerships are 
a key part of our business – an agile 
front-end requires a very agile back-
end to support it, and that requires 
continuous refinement to ensure we 
are delivering for our stores,” John 
said. 

“Our first step was to secure the 
safety and hygiene of our own people 
and our customers. To put it in 
context, without sufficient cleaning 
and hygiene products in a store, we 
simply couldn’t trade.  

“In many cases we were buying 
personal protective equipment for 
the first time or existing equipment 
in quantities we’ve never previously 
ordered – including masks, gloves, 
sanitiser, even protective shields 
in stores. We had to do so in an

TIMELINE

The pace of change during COVID-19 
has surpassed anything previously 
experienced in Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd. It is a tribute to more 
than 50,000 team members who 
worked together, to be responsive 
to the latest advice from health 
and government authorities and 
customer expectations, to put team 
members’ safety first, to learn, and to 
share learnings with other Domino’s 
countries. 

Changes were implemented at a 
national, regional or store level on 
a daily basis; from designing and 

implementing Zero Contact Delivery, 
through to stores placing floor decals 
to help team members be efficient 
while maximising social distance. 

Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd has 
prepared the following timeline to 
provide a sense of the rapid and 
comprehensive changes that were 
occurring in our business, in the 
context of fast-moving societal 
changes. We thank all of those 
involved for their commitment and 
positive attitude towards adaptation 
and change during this time.

We know there are three main drivers in the 
food business; fast service, affordable prices and 
good quality. Traditional thinking says customers 
have to settle for two out of three. Our goal is to 
seamlessly deliver all three, again, and again. 

Project 3TEN is at the core of this goal: 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.  

This requires a suite of initiatives; developing 
world-first technology, increased training for 
team members, through to opening more stores 
closer to our customers. 

Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd holds the record 
for the fastest service in the Domino’s network: 
in November 2018 the Yotsuya store in Japan 
delivered a week of orders in an average of 2 
minutes and 38 seconds. 

Operational projects are underway throughout 
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd, looking at more 
ways to remove seconds and minutes from every 
aspect of a customer’s order.

ONE OF THE CORE VALUES OF DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES IS 

CRUSH CONVENTION 

EUROPE 
Domino’s France has pushed 
‘reset’ on what is possible 
for delivery times, with two 
corporate-owned stores in 
Paris (one of the world’s most 
populated cities) consistently 
leading the world with delivery. 

“We’re demonstrating Project 
3TEN lessons can achieve 
lower delivery times, increased 
customer satisfaction and higher 
sales – in a distinctly French 
way,” CEO Andrew Bradley said. 

“We’re delivering two to three 
minutes quicker than usual; 
customer satisfaction scores are 
amazing. We’re taking more care 
and people are noticing that – 
customers and franchisees – and 
now we intend to demonstrate 
this is possible for even more 
stores.” 

The effort is delivering results: 
two stores, Paris 13 BNF, and 
Paris 11 P. Auguste, were 
the fastest and third fastest 
Domino’s stores in the world 
this year, surpassing more than 
17,000 others. 

Most notably, the Paris 13 BNF 
store averaged 10 minutes, 54 
seconds, for all delivery orders 
– demonstrating the goals of 
Project 3TEN are achievable, and 
within reach. 

”

JAPAN 
One of the core values of 
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises is: 
Crush convention. 

Convention would dictate that 
a rapid and significant spike in 
delivery orders would eliminate 
any goal of safely delivering fast. 
But in Japan, that was not the 
case. 

Domino’s Japan was determined 
to deliver exceptional service 
throughout the peaks of 
COVID-19, with industry-beating 
delivery times. Stores recruited 
5,500 additional delivery experts 
on bicycles, scooters and in cars, 
to handle the rush.  

Hiroshi Kakiuchi, Executive Vice 
President, Corporate Operations, 
said the continued focus on 
Project 3TEN during COVID-19 
was important for customers 
and team members. “It’s 
important our customers know 
they can rely on hot, freshly 
prepared meals, whether we are 
delivering during rain or snow, 
during sporting events or even a 
pandemic.” 

“We were proud of our team’s 
effort during this time – at 
our absolute peak, for a week 
immediately after a nationwide 
emergency declaration, we kept 
delivery times below 27 minutes. 
We applied those lessons in May 
and, despite high volumes and 
peaks in demand, kept delivery 
times below 22 minutes 30 
seconds for all of May.” 

ANZ 
In August 2019, the Ferny Grove 
store set a new Australian 
record averaging 5 minutes, 27 
seconds for a week of orders. 
The previous record was held by 
the nearby Albany Creek store: 6 
minutes and 40 seconds, owned 
by fellow multi-unit franchisee 
Datta Bommasani. 
Ferny Grove franchisees Kushla 
and Brandon Brooking (featured 
on p64) said the record was just 
as important to other areas of 
the operations as it was for faster 
delivery. 

“We wanted to show our team 
the power of a unified goal. 
Before setting our new target, 
our average delivery was 16 
minutes and 18 seconds. Now 
our team knows they can be the 
best in the country and, while 
we are not setting records each 
week, the lessons we learned 
in utilising runners, dispatchers 
and the Future Order Screen, 
have really helped us keep our 
Estimated Delivery Times down 
even as our deliveries have 
increased.” 

Goals also challenge others to 
raise the bar – After the Ferny 
Grove store set the first sub-six 
minute delivery week, Datta 
Bommasani and his team at 
Eatons Hill regained the title 
in September with a week of 
deliveries averaging 4 minutes 
58 seconds – and a month of 
deliveries averaging 7 minutes 
48 seconds. A new record … until 
the next one.

DO THE RIGHT THING, 
BECAUSE IT’S THE RIGHT 
THING TO DO. 

Do the right thing, because it’s the right thing to 
do: This core value of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises 
Ltd captures our approach to doing good in our 
communities. 

Throughout our history we have provided 
community sponsorships, in-kind support and 
disaster relief - from our stores, from Domino’s 
Pizza Enterprises Ltd, and from our registered 
charity Give for Good. It has been a source of pride 
for our team members knowing that in times of 
disaster, Domino’s is the last kitchen to close, and 
the first to reopen. 

Throughout COVID-19, this giving has come to 
the fore, with charitable initiatives to ‘Feed the 
Frontline’ and other support efforts to help those 
most affected by this pandemic, including those 
who have lost their jobs or are otherwise isolated 
from their friends and loved ones. These meals 
have provided comfort to hundreds of thousands 
of people in our communities and inspired a 
‘mission mentality’ among our team members. 

It is our shared privilege to serve during this time. 

While COVID-19 increased the urgency of these 
initiatives, this has not lessened our focus on 
other areas of corporate and social responsibility. 

We are pleased to provide noteworthy progress 
on important initiatives where Domino’s is 
enhancing our environment, improving the 
quality of our ingredients, and protecting the 
wellbeing of our team members. 

Whether it be providing a hot meal to a health 
worker, helping a young person complete their 
education, or reducing water usage in our stores 
– each of these initiatives is important to our team 
members, our customers, and our communities. 
We are pleased to report on our progress.

OUR ENVIRONMENT 
Care for our environment is a clear example of 
Domino’s values: Do the right thing, because 
it’s the right thing to do. Finding efficiencies 
and reducing our impact on the environment 
typically have a mutual benefit for our customers, 
our stores, and our communities, through 
reducing costs and passing on efficiencies to our 
customers. 

ENERGY EFFICIENCY 
For many years, Domino’s stores and corporate 
head offices have been striving to find more 
efficiencies and reduce energy usage. Not 
only is it good for the environment, and the 
communities in which we live, but it also is good 
for business; reducing costs for franchisees, and 
allowing Domino’s to deliver greater value to our 
customers. An example of this approach can be 
found in our new Nieuwegein commissary, in 
the Netherlands – page 84, a facility designed for 
efficiency and low-environmental impact from 
the ground up. This includes initiatives to reduce 
the amount of energy required throughout the 
production process, from dough-making and 
cooling, through to heating the building. 

STORE ENERGY SAVINGS - AUSTRALIA 
Commercial energy prices are typically fixed 
based on the peak energy usage of a business. 
Which means short, sharp peaks in energy usage 
can have an outsized financial impact on a 
business, even if this does not reflect the volume 
of energy used throughout the year.
Domino’s subsidiary Construction Supply & 
Service has released Power Load Controllers, 
which monitor and adjust a store’s energy 
demands throughout the day. The controllers 
reduce peak usage without having a detrimental 
effect on store operations. For example, the 
controllers can turn off hot water systems during 
peak periods when hot water storage is at the 
required temperature, and usage is low.

Initial trials delivered savings of approximately 20 
per cent, which can be affected by store location 
and electricity provider. With more than 90 units 
now installed, Domino’s stores in Australia have 
saved more than 600,000 kilowatt hours. This 
saves more than 500 tonnes of CO2 equivalent 
– enough to supply the electricity usage of 
70 homes for an entire year, or equal to the 
emissions of 91 passenger vehicles for a year. 

ELECTRIC VEHICLES 
Electric vehicles, particularly electric bikes 
(ebikes) make perfect sense for our franchisees 
and our communities. They are quieter, can be 
more efficient in reaching our customers, and are 
environmentally friendly. 

This year we have made tangible progress on the 
implementation of electric vehicles throughout 
our business. Across Germany, more than 30% 
of all delivery vehicles are electric, with more 
than 80% of those vehicles ebikes. There is a 
concerted move to electric vehicles and ebikes 
as existing vehicles are replaced. For example, 
former Joey’s Pizza stores (acquired February 
2016) are converting their scooter fleet to electric 
vehicles as the existing fleet reaches its end of 
life. New store openings, including the new Berlin 
Hermannstraße store, are opening their doors 
with a 100% electric vehicle fleet. This year more 
than 3.5 million deliveries were carried using 
electric vehicles, an increase from 2.6 million 
electric vehicle deliveries in the prior Financial 
Year. 

In France, the goal is to have 100% of delivery 
vehicles powered by electricity by the end of 2023. 
This year, we have made meaningful progress, 
with 51% of the network now using electric bikes 
and scooters, an increase from about 35% in the 
prior year. 

In the Netherlands, where approximately 70% of 
deliveries are now delivered on ebikes, no fossil-
fuel reliant transport will be purchased from 
1 January 2021. Belgium will follow suit from 1 
January 2022, with ebikes currently comprising 
more than 65% of the delivery fleet. 

In Australia, Domino’s is working towards carrying 
out more than 2 million deliveries each year on 
ebikes. This Financial Year Domino’s Australian 
ebike fleet carried more than 1.7 million deliveries, 
an increase from 1.5 million deliveries in the prior 
financial year. 

In Japan, 25% of the delivery fleet are ebikes, with 
higher concentrations in metropolitan areas. 
In Tokyo, 37% of delivery vehicles are ebikes, 
increasing to 40% of the delivery fleet in Tokyo 
corporate stores.

CASE STUDY – NEW ZEALAND 
In our last report, Domino’s New Zealand 
advised it had entered into an agreement with 
local company, UBCO, to initially trial three of 
their electric 2x2 motorbikes for possible use 
as delivery vehicles. Shortly after, an additional  
three were purchased. Working together the 
companies refined the bike design to ensure 
maximum practicality and durability. There are 
now 25 UBCO bikes delivering piping hot pizzas 
to customers around the country with another 25 
on the way. By the end of 2020 all petrol scooters 
in the New Zealand Corporate fleet will have been 
replaced by UBCOs. 

The UBCO bikes have several advantages over 
cars when it comes to deliveries. The distinctive 
lightweight SuperX frame makes the UBCO bikes 
easy to maneuver and safer than your standard 
moped. They are more efficient through heavy 
traffic, parking isn’t an issue, they’re cheaper to 
run, quieter and more environmentally friendly. 
They are also speed limited, which means that 
team members do not need a full license to 
operate them.  

All UBCO bikes delivered in 2020 will also 
include new Telematic hardware and will be 
connected to the Fleet Portal (a cloud-based 
Vehicle Management System). This enables both 
Domino’s and UBCO to see how each vehicle 
is tracking and to deliver a more efficient and 
accurate service schedule. 

In order to make the bikes more affordable for 
franchisees UBCO have created the Vehicle 
Subscription Service model, meaning no upfront 
payment for the bikes. Stores simply pay a weekly 
subscription, which includes regular vehicle 
servicing. A no hassle, affordable way to have a 
reliable, environmentally friendly fleet of delivery 
vehicles working for the business.

Compressed Natural Gas Trucks

HEAVY VEHICLE IMPROVEMENTS 
Domino’s France operates a fleet of 12 trucks to 
carry dough and other food to more than 400 
stores throughout the country. This year the 
Company purchased the first truck powered 
by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). It is the first 
in a replacement program that will upgrade 
all of the remaining 11 diesel-powered trucks. 
CNG-powered vehicles are some of the cleanest 
operating vehicles in commercial production 
today, producing less than 10% of allowable 
emissions even according to the strictest local 
regulations. This makes them better for the 
environment, and better for the local community.  

Domino’s France’s newest truck, with a range 
of 400km, releases 95% fewer fine particles 
than diesel-powered trucks, 80% less carbon 
dioxide, and 50% less Nitrogen Oxide emissions. 
Operating costs for CNG-powered vehicles can 
be on-par or lower than diesel equivalents, while 
offering similar amounts of horsepower to the 
older vehicles. CNG also avoids the unpleasant 
smell of diesel-powered vehicles and emits no 
smoke. Combined, these improvements deliver 
significant benefits for the communities in which 
we operate, particularly in built-up urban areas. 

Other energy savings have been made by 
ensuring our delivery network is as efficient as 
possible. A project to adjust transport routes, 
using GPS to monitor and optimise transport 
routes from commissaries to stores, has delivered 
a 25% reduction in fuel usage. 

WASTE REDUCTION 
The reduction of waste in stores is a benefit for 
our communities, our environment and our stores 
themselves. 

Food wastage is very low in Domino’s stores, with 
far less food wastage per meal than the average 
household. A focus on reducing food wastage 
as much as possible also makes good business 
sense, with managers regularly coaching team 
members on the importance of carefully using 
ingredients and following standard recipes is 
supported through processes in stores that allow 
managers to identify areas for improvement.

In order to reduce wastage throughout our 
business, Domino’s Pizza Enterprises is focused 
on recycling and reducing packaging.

Recycling

CASE STUDY – JAPAN 
Domino’s stores are not intensive users of water, 
but with so many stores any reduction in the use 
of natural resources can make a significant total 
contribution. 

Domino’s is moving to ensure other food 
packaging is more sustainable; in Japan all carry-
out bags now use recyclable materials (from 
April 2020), and cups for thickshakes also use 
recyclable materials. 

In the prior financial year, Domino’s Japan tested 
new water flow valves to reduce water usage and 
found the small investment would be returned in 
a matter of months through a reduction in water 
bills. 

Japan has in place a program to separate 
and recycle waste from food preparation and 
customer areas. All European markets are 
working towards this same goal.  

The valves (three per store) were installed in 350 
corporate stores this Financial Year, and in 75 new 
stores constructed in the past 12 months. Based 
on calculations from more than 25 of the installed 
stores, Domino’s Japan estimates the annual 
savings will be in excess of 60 megalitres of water 
each year. 

STORE PACKAGING 
Our pizza boxes are our most common form of 
packaging and are the most environmentally 
friendly as they can be, while also complying with 
local government regulations. 

In Australia and New Zealand, our pizza boxes 
are made from recycled materials, and can be 
recycled after they have been used along with 
any other food packaging (subject to some local 
government policies). This means serving up a 
hot, fresh meal is just one part of an extensive 
lifecycle for these boxes. 

In Europe and Japan, local regulations require 
the material in contact with food not to be made 
from recycled material. However, the exterior 
packaging, and corrugated components of the 
pizza box (which provide its structure and help 
to keep our pizzas hot) are made from recycled 
material. After use, these boxes can be recycled 
with other food packaging, as they can be in 
Australia and New Zealand. 

Germany has already achieved 100% separation 
and recycling in stores, with the Netherlands and 
Belgium working to achieve this by the end of 
2020. France’s program is well progressed and is 
already implemented in 90% of corporate stores. 
All corporate stores in France are expected to 
separate and recycle this waste by September 
2020, with franchised stores to follow by the end 
of December 2020. 

SUPPLY CHAIN 
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd is working 
throughout our supply chain to reduce waste, 
including finding ways to reduce or eliminate 
packaging materials. 

In Europe, we are working with our largest 
suppliers to identify ways to reduce the volume of 
packaging that is needed to deliver ingredients, 
and to replace single-use packaging with 
reusable packaging. 

As one example, dough produced in our 
commissaries is already delivered to stores in 
reusable trays. Domino’s is now testing the ability 
to deliver other products from commissaries to 
stores in reusable trays. 

Our ultimate goal is to remove the need to deliver 
cardboard into our stores. Domino’s European 
operations are also targeting a 25,000kg/
year reduction in plastic usage through these 
initiatives, and has already achieved a sizeable 
reduction in the amount of cardboard in our 
system.

“

OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO REMOVE THE NEED 
TO DELIVER CARDBOARD INTO OUR STORES.

OUR COMMUNITIES 
COVID-19 CARE 
Being able to trade during a global crisis comes 
with enormous responsibility. Not just from a 
health and safety standpoint, but also a social 
and economic one. As the world began to 
unravel, our teams mobilised to support their 
local communities, including self-initiating 
tens of thousands of free pizza donations to 
frontline workers. Some 30,000 pizzas were 
donated in New Zealand alone - even as stores 
faced their own imminent closure. Employment 
recruitment drives were also launched in several 
markets amid soaring coronavirus-related job 
losses; in Japan, No Minimum Delivery was 
introduced to make a hot meal more accessible 
for people staying at home, while Australia’s Head 
Development Chef turned his culinary skills to 
preparing meals for the elderly and homeless. 
Domino’s has been privileged to, by and large, 
remain open during the most disruptive event of 
our times. It is not, and will never be, a position 
we take for granted. You can read more about 
our response to COVID-19 on page 12. 

YOUTHLINE 
Domino’s New Zealand has been supporting local 
charity Youthline with Annual Doughraisers since 
2015. Youthline engages with over 35,000 young 
people each your supporting them through 
phone and text counselling services. With the 
high number of young people working Domino’s 
stores it is an important association.

This Financial Year, our annual Doughraiser raised 
$35,880, then COVID-19 hit. When our franchisees 
learned the Youthline was facing a fundraising 
shortfall due to COVID, they all pulled together to 
hold and additional fundraiser, adding $36,265, 
for a total donation of $72,145.

Domino’s New Zealand has not only provided 
monetary support this year. Each year the team 
run Connect the Dots, a job ready training course 
for Youthline’s at risk youth. This course gives 
these young people hands on training in-store, 
food safety training as well as interview prep.

Although the majority of Youthline’s services are 
run through their phone, text and online services 
the team also run a number of youth events 
around the country each year to which Domino’s 
delivers. There’s nothing quite like sharing the 
love and joy of pizza to hundreds of young people.

GIVE FOR GOOD 
Domino’s, along with our franchisees and 
employees are committed to supporting the 
communities in which we operate throughout 
Australia.  We are proud to contribute to ethical, 
responsible and sustainable business practices 
through the Domino’s Give for Good Program. 
Launched in 2016, Give for Good Limited is 
registered as a charity with the Australian 
Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ABN 
17621450413).   Our Giving Philosophy focuses 
on four key areas where we aim to develop 
sustainable best practices, assistance and support 
to make a difference to our local communities: 
Education and Youth Initiatives, Leadership 
and Entrepreneurship, Rural Communities, and 
Disaster Relief. 

SMALL CHANGE, BIG DIFFERENCE 
In our last report, Domino’s announced the 
success of a micro donation program ‘Round up 
for Charity’, which allows 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. Customers have donated more 
than 5 million times through this program, with 
this small change making a big difference in 
supporting Give for Good’s work. 

EDUCATION AND YOUTH INITIATIVES 
Rural Communities – Tasmanian scholarships 
Give for Good is funding eight scholarships 
worth $160,000 for rural students wanting to 
study agriculture or business at the University of 
Tasmania. In partnership with the University of 
Tasmania, Give for Good funded scholarships of 
$5,000 per year, which are available to students 
who demonstrate financial need and academic 
merit. Students will be supported for up to four 
years, including an optional honours year. Highly 
skilled agricultural graduates are in strong 
demand in Tasmania. The training of Tasmania’s 
future agricultural workforce both supports 
students and helps industry to adapt to future 
challenges, such as increased climate variability. 

DISASTER RELIEF - AUSTRALIAN BUSHFIRES  
It was the most catastrophic bushfire season in 
living memory. Domino’s was able to provide 
more than $175,000 in bushfire support 
generated through ‘Dough Raisers’ at local 
Domino’s stores (50c from every pizza sold was 
donated to the Australian Red Cross’ disaster 
relief), Give for Good ($50,000 donation) and 

Round Up for Charity ($79,773). Additionally, 5645 
pizzas were donated to emergency services and 
evacuees throughout the crisis. Our proudest 
contribution belongs to our franchisees and 
team members – from those who juggled store 
duties with volunteer fire fighting to help save 
customers’ homes, to those who kept their 
kitchens open long after closing time to ensure 
the heroes on the frontline always had a hot meal. 

DISASTER RELIEF – COVID-19 
The extraordinary generosity and efforts of 
Domino’s franchisees and team members around 
the world has been outlined above and in the 
COVID-19 section of this report. Give for Good 
was instrumental in this effort, donating more 
than 22,000 hot meals to those on the frontline 
of the pandemic. In March and April, Domino’s 
Australian stores delivered meals to more than 
44,000 people, including teachers, supermarket 
teams, supply chain workers, emergency services, 
health services and police as a small token of 
appreciation for their ongoing work during 
the crisis, as well as relief meals to those most 
vulnerable in our communities, such as the 
elderly and homeless.

OUR FOOD 
FOOD SAFETY 
The safety of our food is at the heart of the trust 
our customers place in Domino’s. 
Each Domino’s country is required to have a food 
safety program that is regularly reviewed, and 
meets both local laws and the high standards 
of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd. This includes 
operational requirements such as maximum food 
storage times, cooking and storage temperatures, 
handling procedures and pest control. This 
program also includes regular, unannounced 
inspections, conducted by Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd’s operational team members in all 
countries. 

This year, in conjunction with Domino’s Pizza 
Inc, we have implemented an additional 
layer of protection, with the Domino’s Pizza 
International (DPI) Global Food Safety Program. 
This is an annual audit of every store, to DPI’s 
standards, conducted by public health and safety 
organisation NSF International.  

Our French commissaries achieved Food Safety 
System Certification (FSSC) 22000 in December. 
FSSC 22000 is an internationally accepted 
certification scheme, which was developed 
in response to customer expectations for a 
recognised, global standard, against which food 
safety management systems can be audited and 
certified.

MENU AND INGREDIENTS 
Domino’s menu provides our customers an 
indulgence, and our customers choose the 
menu item that suits their tastebuds and health 
preferences. 

We start with our dough, which is made fresh, 
and is GMO- and MSG-free. Domino’s strives to 
ensure, like our dough, 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 Japan, our menu is almost entirely free of 
artificial preservatives, flavours and colours; 
including our core menu and sides. Only 
one dessert currently features any artificial 
preservatives, flavours or colours. 

In Australia 96% of our menu is now free from 
artificial preservatives, flavours and colours, and 
in France and the Benelux, 85%. 

In Germany, Domino’s initial focus was on 
modifying our core menu, including changing 
the recipes for our dough and pizza sauce to 
delight our customers with a pizza menu that is 
high-quality and affordable. We are now working 
on new initiatives to remove additives from our 
core ingredients, which will be implemented in 
FY21. 

PLANT-BASED RANGE 
In September 2019, Domino’s became the first 
pizza company in Australia to launch plant-based 
pizzas. It followed nine months of development 
and testing with hundreds of flavours and 
variations before settling on a plant-based ‘beef’, 
which has a similar taste and texture to our 
existing beef, and is derived from soy protein, free 
from artificial preservatives, flavours and colours, 
and lower in saturated fat and higher in protein 
than its meat counterpart.  

Plant-based ‘ham’ (a world-first) and ‘pepperoni’ 
were also later added to the menu. The launch 
generated significant media coverage and 
endorsement from organisations such as PETA  
(People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). 
Such was the demand for these innovative new 
products that more than half of all stores in 
Australia were sold out within weeks of release.

OUR CUSTOMERS 
DATA PROTECTION 
Our goal is to deliver the best experience possible 
to each and every customer, and that starts with 
protecting the thing that’s most important – 
privacy. Whether customers prefer pineapple on 
their pizza, order every Friday night, or answer 
the door in their pyjamas, our commitment 
is customers’ pizza habits are safe with us. 
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd is aligned to the 
NIST CSF Version 1.1 (CyberSecurity Framework), 
which requires us to comply with the following 
categories: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

IDENTIFY: a cyber aware culture based on a 
quantitative risk management approach 

PREVENT: processes, controls and staff are in 
place to reduce the likelihood and harm of a 
cyber incident 

DETECT: effective, up-to-date monitoring 
technology and threat intelligence, alert and 
advice sharing 

RESPOND: clear protocols, roles, responsibilities 
and regular practice ensure efficient and 
effective action in the event of a cyber 
incident 

RECOVER: when a cyber-attack causes disruption, 
the extent, harm and duration are minimised 
and Domino’s returns rapidly to business as 
usual 

This year, Domino’s has been working with 
market leaders to ensure our controls for 
online ordering are best practice. This included 
programs to detect and mitigate mass ‘account 
takeovers’ (or attempted takeovers) of our 
customers’ accounts, due to customers using 
usernames and passwords for their Domino’s 
accounts that may have been both used on 
other companies’ systems, and subject to a data 
breach. Our work to protect customer data is 
ongoing, both internally and externally.  

Training programs and live exercises have been 
introduced to help Domino’s team members 
identify potential phishing attacks, with the 
lessons learned from each of these exercises 
shared with team members to heighten 
awareness and reduce the likelihood of a real 
attack. 

We are also ensuring our expectations around 
systems necessary to protect customer data 
are shared by vendors, and that these vendors 
are security assessed before they are given any 
access to customer data (and that this access is 
limited to the scope of work being undertaken for 
Domino’s). 

CUSTOMER COMMUNICATIONS – 
A GENUINE CONVERSATION 
Listening, and responding, to our customers 
helps to improve our business. Whether it is 
providing feedback on an individual meal, 
recommending a new product, or highlighting 
an area for improvement in our technology or 
operations, Domino’s recognises a genuine 
conversation with our customers is essential to 
our business. 

FEEDBACK 
Our ANZ customer feedback team responded 
to more than 70,000 customer enquiries, 
received via phone, email, web and social media, 
this Financial Year. While the total number of 
messages grew, the average response time 
dropped significantly – down 13 minutes on 
the prior year to an average of 18 minutes. This 
feedback is incorporated directly into operational 
and marketing strategy to ensure we are always 
delivering on being the customer’s champion. 

In FY21, Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd will start 
to roll out a new, global platform for customer 
feedback, aiming to deliver the same high 
standards of customer service in all countries, 
and to provide richer insights from customer 
feedback to enhance all areas of our business. 

COVID-19 COMMUNICATIONS 
As outlined in this report, Domino’s acted quickly 
to ensure the continued safety and trust of 
our customers as the COVID-19 pandemic took 
hold. Part of this response involved a significant 
customer education campaign, rolled out in all 
markets, highlighting the safety of our products, 
in particular, that our pizzas are cooked in 
ovens that exceed 240 degrees Celsius and are 
not touched again by human hands, and new 
procedures such as Zero Contact Delivery and 
social distancing in stores. The response to these 
measures was overwhelmingly positive, with 
a customer survey in Germany finding 93% of 
all interviewees (16,000 respondents) were very 
satisfied/satisfied.

SUPPORT FOR TEAM MEMBERS 
Through COVID-19, Domino’s Pizza Enterprises 
Ltd has taken a people-first approach. In each 
market, Domino’s management has prioritised 
the health and wellbeing of team members and 
our customers, through changes to operational 
procedures, and through the supply of personal 
protective equipment including items such as 
masks and personal sanitiser. In many cases, 
Domino’s has provided these items directly to 
team members, to help protect them at home. 

Domino’s moved early, to protect our people and 
to ensure our local operations were good citizens, 
which helped to slow the spread of COVID-19 in 
our communities. Domino’s helped to ensure 
team members were safe and supported 
wherever they work, whether in stores, working 
from home or from a temporary residence.  

Together with separate not-for-profit, the 
Domino’s Partners Foundation, Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd also provided tangible financial 
support to some team members encountering 
financial or other distress related to COVID-19. 

You can read more about our approach to 
COVID-19 on pages 12-35.

OUR PEOPLE 
COVID-19 
SUPPORT FOR FRANCHISEES 
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd has long 
recognised that localised, short-term events can 
affect diligent, customer-focused franchisees 
through no fault of their own. These events may 
include local road diversions affecting foot traffic, 
or natural disaster. 

In these cases, Domino’s preference has always 
been to provide targeted financial support to 
help these high-quality businesses trade through 
these short-term conditions, understanding this 
support can retain high-quality franchisees and 
help to build a stronger business when these 
short-term conditions subside. 

Typically, these events are hyper-local, affecting 
only a very small number of stores. COVID-19 was 
an unprecedented event that affected stores 
unevenly throughout our business, particularly 
for stores that relied on local populations that 
moved elsewhere in the early stages, such as CBD 
stores, tourist destinations, and those proximate 
to universities. 

While the scale of this pandemic was much larger 
than previous events, the principles remained the 
same, and Domino’s did not hesitate to provide 
the same type of support to those affected stores. 
As a result – no Domino’s franchisee found 
it necessary to leave the network because 
of COVID-19 – ensuring these hard-working 
franchisees can continue to build their businesses 
over the long-term.

SAFETY 
MINIMUM AGE FOR DELIVERY RIDERS  
Franchised stores in the Netherlands this year 
joined their corporate counterparts by increasing 
the minimum age of ebike riders to 16 years. The 
decision was endorsed by government and safety 
officials and brings the country in line with other 
markets, such as Australia, New Zealand, France, 
and Germany, where there are no ebike riders 
younger than 16.  

It follows numerous measures in recent years to 
best protect our riders on the roads. For example, 
delivery experts are paid per hour and not per 
ride, wearing a helmet and other personal 
protective equipment is mandatory (even in 
markets where this is not a legal requirement) 
and all team members must complete road 
safety training. 

NEW WHS PROGRAM  
A new Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) 
Program was rolled out in ANZ  as part of the 
Domino’s Good Citizen / Zero Harm Project 
and has been developed to comply with all 
applicable AU and NZ WHS Legislation, Codes 
and Standards (approx. 34 instruments), as well as 
International Standard ISO 45001. 

The Program acts as a guide on how to prevent 
work-related injuries by maintaining a safe and 
healthy workplace and provides a common-
sense approach to assist Franchisees and Store 
Managers ensure all staff Go Home Safe. 

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT 
Domino’s continues to invest in opportunities 
for team members with ongoing training and 
development programs across all areas of the 
business. 

Germany extended its successful Training 
Academy, which involved 30 coaching sessions 
and face-to-face modules for shift runners 
and store managers. This program was well 
received, with a 100% attendance rate. Eight 
Academy attendees have subsequently become 
franchisees. 

In New Zealand, an Accelerated Management 
Training Program developed and run by 
Corporate Regional Manager and Franchisee 
Trainer Alex Whale, has already seen six 
graduates become store managers. The end 
goal is to create engaged and invested team 
members, creating well run and profitable stores.  

 54 // 2020 ANNUA L R EPORT  DO MI N O’S PIZ ZA ENTERPRISES LIM ITED.

With COVID-19 restrictions on travel and 
gatherings, ANZ’s foundation training program 
for shift runners and managers, Pizza College, 
was completely re-designed to not only be 
delivered via the ‘online classroom’, but also to 
meet the modern day needs of stores. The ‘Virtual 
Pizza College’ program is split into 3 x 2hr 15min 
modules run over three consecutive weeks. 
Programs such as these help to build a strong 
foundation for future leaders, in the store and 
beyond. 

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT  
Domino’s is a people-powered business. 
Listening, and responding, to the feedback of 
our team members is important to ensure we 
continue to improve. 

Employee engagement is a key part of our value: 
“Help People Grow and Prosper.”

This year we have expanded the use of the GLINT 
Survey, which gives leaders and managers access 
to anonymised employee feedback. These results 
help Domino’s identify areas we are doing well, 
and where we can improve, with regular surveys 
designed to determine areas of progress, or those 
needing additional attention. 

Domino’s has expanded the use of the GLINT 
Survey. First used in Australia/New Zealand, 
regular surveys are now extended to Japan, 
France and Netherlands. 

The surveys have a high level of engagement, 
with an 80% response rate, and help gain 
feedback from team members, who report high 
levels of satisfaction with their leadership and 
employment prospects. The survey allows us to 
benchmark ourselves against other companies 
and internally across our markets. 

The survey is available in our team members’ 
native languages and the comments are 
particularly useful in understanding the 
sentiment of our teams.  Our most recent survey 
in ANZ showed a significant improvement in 
engagement levels with an overall engagement 
score +7% higher than global benchmarks. 

PARTNERS FOUNDATION 
Domino’s Partners Foundation is a separate not-
for-profit organisation funded by team members 
to help fellow team members in times of need. 
The Foundation is committed to helping team 
members through injury, disaster recovery, illness 
and times of hardship – every Domino’s team 
member who contributes to the Foundation can 
be proud of the good work that it achieves. 
The giving and support from the Foundation to 
team members is growing, and of vital assistance 
to team members in need of help. In the past 
Financial Year, Domino’s Partners Foundation 
has provided more than $175,000 in assistance 
(an increase from approximately $78,000 in the 
prior year), with practical examples of support 
including:

•  Covering funeral expenses for team members 
who have passed away in non-work related 
incidents. 

•  Providing financial assistance to team 
members following a death in their 
immediate family. Supporting through 
offsetting the costs of a school memorial 
service for students to honour their friend (a 
young team member who had passed away). 

•  Providing financial support to team members 

for costs associated with medical conditions, 
disabilities and non-work related injuries. 

•  Assisting team members experiencing 

financial hardship with the cost of living 
expenses. 

•  Helping a team member who was injured and 
unable to complete their studies – support 
was provided to pay for summer school fees 
to allow them to complete the course and 
move on to the next stage of their education. 

•  Covering the cost of a memorable family 
experience for a team member with a 
terminal illness.

LOOKING FORWARD 
“Domino’s intends to work with our 
communities to develop measurable 
targets in the areas important to 
them. The next step in delivering, 
starts now.”
 – Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd 

Annual Report, 2019 

In this Financial Year, Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd has made meaningful 
progress on this commitment. 

A CLOSER LOOK 
In 2019, Domino’s commenced 
consultations with investors 
and other stakeholders to best 
identify what should be the priority 
areas of focus for the company’s 
Environmental, Social and 
Governance (ESG) activities, and how 
best to report ongoing progress. 

WHAT WE FOUND 
Our consultations first identified 
that Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd 
has not traditionally published the 
principles and expectations of our 
business.  

In 2019, we addressed this by 
developing our Purpose and Values, 
released at our AGM and included in 
this report. Our Purpose and Values 
have been the bedrock of our people-
first approach during COVID-19. 

Domino’s also identified there are 
policy areas where our actions either 
meet expectations or are market 
leading but were not well known.

WHAT WE’RE DOING 
The Company will now ensure this 
information is publicly available to 
our investors and communities on 
our investor website: 
https://investors.dominos.com.au 

We will continue to review the 
metrics against which listed 
companies such as Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd are assessed, in order 
to ensure we consistently strive to be 
best practice – and will update this 
website with our progress. 

MATERIALITY ASSESSMENT 
Our consultations included a wide-
ranging review to identify areas of 
focus for our industry and peers, 
investor consultation through a 
survey and interviews, engagement 
with Domino’s leadership and 
an assessment of community 
expectations, including through 
media analysis. 

The purpose of this approach 
was to assess which of the many 
ESG priorities globally should be 
a strategic focus for Domino’s. To 
assess this, the review considered 
Domino’s Purpose and Values (and 
associated employee expectations), 
as well as the expectations of 
investors, customers and other 
community members. 

The review identified 20 topics that 
could be considered most material 
to Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd, 
classified according to the four 
ESG pillars outlined at our Annual 
General Meeting: Our Community, 
Our Environment, Our Food and Our 
People. 

The safety and wellbeing of 
customers has always been at the 
core of our business approach, 
particularly through the “Our Food” 
pillar. One of the initial findings of 
the assessment process was our 
longstanding, customer-centric 
approach should be more clearly 
stated. Therefore, from this report, 
Domino’s now includes “Our 
Customers” as a distinct pillar to 
unambiguously demonstrate this 
focus.

The 20 topics considered most material to Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd.
OUR GOALS 
Our research found that, across the fast food 
industry sector, sustainability disclosure is still 
relatively immature. This largely reflects the 
lack of quantitative metrics and targets publicly 
available in key sustainability areas. Similarly, our 
assessment identified Domino’s Pizza Enterprises 
Ltd’s reporting has predominantly focused on key 
case studies, with less reporting on metrics and 
targets.  

In the 2020-21 Financial Year we intend to 
identify those priority topics, to confirm the 
measurements we have in place (and those we 
need to build), and then to set targets using those 
measurements. 

We intend to demonstrate continuous 
improvement over time, which means the 
measurements we use will be as important 
as the targets we set. This will allow Domino’s 
Pizza Enterprises Ltd, and our stakeholders, to 
assess both the progress we are making, and the 
outcomes we achieve.

This year, our report includes quantifiable 
updates on a number of sustainability initiatives 
across our markets. We intend to prioritise 
additional quantitative metrics and targets, 
aligned with the topics we have identified above, 
to help us increase Domino’s level of reporting 
maturity. We will consider input from our 
communities and stakeholders to confirm which 
of these topics are of most significance to them, 
and our business, and which will therefore be 
prioritised. 

We look forward to continuing to provide updates 
to our shareholders and communities on our 
progress.

ordered online, with more stores 
closer to our customers, proving 
its strength during this time. 

While we remain uncertain 
about how long this pandemic 
will affect our communities, 
Domino’s Australia and New 
Zealand intend to continue 
to listen, and respond, to our 
customers’ needs, as we all 
adapt to living with COVID-19. 

Our financial results this year 
reflect a greater level of support 
for stores that were affected by 
changes in customer behaviour, 
as well as investments in safety 
materials and equipment 
to protect our staff. The true 
bottom line has been the 
protection of our people and 
our customers, the alignment 
with our franchisees during 
this crisis, and the service we 
have been able to give to the 
frontline health workers and 
those most affected by this 
pandemic. 

COVID-19 slowed our planned 
re-franchising of corporate 
stores and, in turn, some 
planned new store 
openings. However, our 
medium-term trajectory 
remains firmly in place, 
with our strategy to service 
an increasing number of 
orders for delivered food, 

Domino’s Australian and 
New Zealand operations 
demonstrated a professional, 
agile approach to an unforeseen 
crisis this year, and position us 
to serve our communities as 
long as this pandemic may last.  

Our two markets had the 
benefit of learning from other 
Domino’s countries (both within 
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises 
Ltd and from our colleagues 
in other regions) which 
experienced COVID-19 before 
Australia and New Zealand. 
We made decisions early to 
protect our business and to 
serve our customers, including 
trialling Zero Contact delivery 
when fewer than 80 cases were 
reported in Australia. 

I remain convinced the key to 
our company’s ability to adapt 
to meet changing regulatory 
and customer expectations 
has been the strength of 
the franchise model. Even 
where we were required to 
temporarily close 134 stores 
in New Zealand, the response 
from our franchisees to serve 
our communities through to 
their closing hours, and to be 
the first stores to reopen when 
able, was heartening. More than 
76 small business owners, their 
experienced store managers 
and team members, have 
worked tirelessly together with 
our corporate office, to be agile 
in the face of this crisis.

At 11:59pm on the 25th of March, the New Zealand 
government lifted their COVID-19 Alert level to the 
highest level, Level 4, moving the entire country 
into lockdown. For the first time in the history of 
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd an entire market, 
134 stores, were legally required to close. 

For five weeks, stores were unable to prepare 
meals, or open their doors for trade. But behind 
the scenes, our business was not idle: franchisees 
and team members invested their time at home 
preparing to reopen, hiring new team members 
and conducting training and business coaching 
– all online – to be ready for trade. Just after 
midnight on the 28th of April, with the move to 
COVID-19 Alert Level 3, Domino’s Mt Eden and 
Lower Hutt stores were the first Quick Service 
Restaurants in the country to recommence trade 
– with the first pizzas delivered to frontline health 
workers and delighted regular customers. 

COVID-19 has been an important factor in this 
year’s performance in Australia/New Zealand, 
discussed elsewhere in this report, but it has not 
been the only driver of another successful year.

Zealand, and received a very positive response 
from Deep Pan lovers, and new converts – 
doubling the number of pizzas being served on 
this new base. 

Since the New Yorker range was launched in 2017, 
customers have enjoyed the streamlined range, 
with the 16” Pepperoni New Yorker at its heart. 
This year Domino’s relaunched the New Yorker 
range in Australia, with a new marinara sauce, a 
thinner, crispier dough, and a new, large diameter 
American Pepperoni. Launched with a television 
advertisement that spoke to customers’ dreams 
of the Big Apple, the new New Yorker has been 
well received since it launched in May. 

Most pizza orders are served with a side offering, 
from garlic bread to desserts. This year Domino’s 
launched two successful side offerings, Cheese 
& Garlic Scrolls, and the Southern Fried Chicken 
Mega Box. 

The new scrolls were inspired by a similar, 
successful product from Domino’s stores in the 
Netherlands, but made using the existing recipe 
for dough used in Australia and New Zealand. 
The scrolls rapidly hit 
one of the three most 
on the menu. With

Chicken is a popular side offering from Domino’s, 
and the newest offering was no exception: 
the Southern Fried Chicken Mega Box quickly 
became the most successful and highest-selling 
chicken product launched at Domino’s.

FOOD INNOVATION 
Our focus continues to be on giving customers 
more of what they want – high-quality meals at 
an affordable price. This meant this year Domino’s 
Australia/New Zealand released fewer new, 
limited time menu offerings, instead launching 
new permanent additions to the menu, and 
several improvements to some of the most 
popular items on our menu. At the same time, 
Domino’s development kitchen, the LuvLab, 
worked with franchisees to consolidate the 
number of products on the menu, to allow instore 
teams to focus on consistent execution of each 
pizza and side that is served to customers. 

Last Financial Year Domino’s launched the 
first vegan pizzas with a premium plant-based 
vegan cheese. The range proved so popular the 
LuvLab scoured the world to find new plant-
based alternatives to popular meats, and found 
them here close to home in Brisbane, Australia. 
In September in Australia, and October in New 
Zealand, Domino’s launched a plant-based beef 
range, with one of the range, the Vegan Taco 
Fiesta Pizza, winning a Peta Vegan Food Award. 

Two of the most popular pizza types on the menu 
– the New Yorker, and the Deep Pan crust – were 
relaunched with new menu formulations. 

To improve the already popular Deep Pan 
crust took months of testing and 
development, which culminated in a 
crust that’s crispier on the outside 
and fluffier on the inside. The new 
Deep Pan crust was extensively 
tested to ensure it would cook correctly in more 
than 800 stores throughout Australia and New

OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE 
Hotter, fresher pizzas is at the core of Domino’s 
customer service. Project 3TEN is not one single 
project, but a suite of initiatives from new 
technology to new training, to find ways to cut 
the time taken to prepare and safely deliver a 
meal. 

Australian stores showed what is possible again 
this year, with Domino’s Eatons Hill holding 
the title of Australia’s fastest – safely delivering 
all orders for an entire week in an average of 4 
minutes 58 seconds. 

Operations 360 is a program to improve the 
quality of our store network, with improved data 
comparison, combined with business coaching 
used to identify and deliver areas for business 
improvement. One of the outcomes of Operations 
360 has been a short-term increase in the 
number of corporate stores currently owned and 
operated by Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd in 
Australia. 

The results of these corporate stores have been 
promising, with sales growth in stores that moved 
into the corporate system in the first half of this 
Financial Year, significantly outperforming their 
sales performance in the prior corresponding 
period. Management plans to invest in additional 
staff training and, where necessary, store 
refurbishments to ensure these stores are best 
practice, before refranchising them to existing 
store managers and franchisees seeking to 
expand their businesses.

DIGITAL INNOVATION 
The goal of Domino’s digital innovations 
has always been to deliver a rewarding and 
seamless customer experience. Domino’s digital 
technology function also has an important role 
in developing technology solutions that aid team 
members in providing exceptional customer 
service, and helps managers and franchisees to 
be more accurate and efficient. 

This year Domino’s delivered important progress 
on both goals. 

In September, Domino’s Australian platform was 
a launch partner for Google Food Ordering. This 
exemplifies management’s view that online food 
aggregators serve as an important, incremental 
way of reaching customers who choose to order 
food online in a way that best suits them. 

In October, Domino’s new Pizza Chef with 
Augmented Reality, won both the Omni-
Experience Innovator Award for Australia and 
NZ, and the International award at the 2019 IDC 
Digital Transformation Summit in Singapore. 

Behind the front counter, Domino’s has been 
trialling new, predictive rostering solutions in 
some Australian stores to help store leaders build 
more accurate rosters and to optimise in store 
labour to maximise customer service. 

The DOM Pizza Checker continues to improve, 
having now scanned more than 50 million pizzas 
since its launch in May 2019. The technology, 
exclusive to Domino’s, has delivered a new 
opportunity for stores to compete on order 
quality, to determine which store has the 
country’s best pizzas. Victoria has been leading 
the charge, with Domino’s Gawler recording the 
highest average DOM Pizza Checker grade for the 
past 12 months.

“We purposefully don’t choose easy goals,” Kushla

supply chain that ensured 
stores were always able to offer 
a full menu, and investments 
in digital infrastructure that 
served record peaks in online 
ordering. 

The result of these strategic 
investments and a team effort 
from franchised and corporate 
stores, and our corporate head 
office, was exceptional service 
to customers, both existing 
and new. Our challenge for the 
coming financial year will be to 
win the loyalty of our newest 
customers, and to entice 
as many of our existing 
customers as possible, 
to return as frequently 
as they have in recent 
months.   

I am proud that our 
systems and people 
are stronger from this 
year’s experience, and 
confident we are 
best positioned 
to approach 
this new 
challenge 
in the 
months 
ahead. 

Domino’s Pizza Japan stepped 
up its performance this year, 
servicing an extraordinary 
increase in both customers and 
total sales.  

Those not familiar with our 
business and the progress we 
have made over the past two 
years may consider this growth 
was a natural consequence of 
the local response to COVID-19. 
Specifically, that our stores  
simply benefited from a lower 
level of societal restriction 
combined with a choice by 
customers to choose carry-out 
and delivery over traditional 
dine-in options. 

Our stores have been privileged 
to be able to continue to trade 
throughout COVID-19. But this 
has only been possible because 
of our people-first approach 
to operations, which included 
additional investments in 
personal protective equipment 
for team members, and 
continually reinforcing to our 
team members and customers 
that their safety was our priority.  

It was also made possible  
because of the strategic  
decisions made over the past 
two years. These included our 
barbell menu strategy, that 
allowed us to provide new meal 
options for customers, more 
stores built closer to customers 
(75 this year), and our focus on 
Project 3TEN, which allowed 
market leading delivery times 
throughout. This team effort 
was supported by a robust

The 2020 Financial Year was planned to be one for 
Domino’s Pizza Japan to execute on its existing 
strategy – with the foundations put in place over 
the prior 18 months. 

COVID-19 brought forward new customers, 
and unprecedented demand. But this wasn’t 
inevitable. Domino’s Japan was only able to 
deliver this year because of menu innovations 
that appealed to new and existing customers, 
digital innovations that allowed for extraordinary 
peaks of online ordering, and operational 
excellence that allowed local stores to service this 
demand in a way that delighted customers.

 
 
 
FOOD INNOVATION 
Prior to 2019, Domino’s Japan offered customers 
a menu skewed to special occasions such as 
Christmas and birthdays, with a pricing strategy 
to match. More affordable choices for customers 
were frequently offered as ‘Buy One Get One 
Free’. For single customer households, and those 
seeking a regular meal, the so-called ‘meal as a 
task’ – Domino’s Japan’s offering did not hit the 
mark.  

In the prior Financial Year, Domino’s Japan 
launched its barbell menu strategy – retaining the 
premium, special occasion pizzas, while adding a 
value-focused offering and other pizzas and sides 
targeted at friends, families and work colleagues 
to enjoy throughout the year. 

New menu offerings have aimed to deliver 
customers more of what they love, particularly 
high-quality, Californian mozzarella. The Ultra 
cheese range, launched in January, has served 
up more than 320 tonnes of cheese, with the 
New Yorker 1 kilo Ultimate Cheese the figurehead 
of the range. The newest offering secured 
international media coverage, social media 
discussions, and a place in local pizza-lovers’ 
hearts. 

Extensive customer research, testing, and piloting 
of new pricing strategies has allowed for the 
introduction of a new 50% off carry-out approach. 
While the price per pizza is similar to the previous, 
“Buy One, Get One Free” pricing tactic, the 
new approach allows Domino’s to reach the 
single customer household, the fastest growing 
segment of the local market. Domino’s Japan 
has also launched a new ‘no minimum spend’ 
delivery offering aimed at the same customer 
segment; initial results have been very positive. 

DIGITAL INNOVATION 
The significant growth in orders was largely 
serviced through Domino’s Japan’s online 
ordering – with the country’s stores serviced by 
OneDigital, the platform used by Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd globally. 

In prior years, Domino’s Japan had invested in 
adopting customer-facing technology that had 
proven success in other markets, such as Just 
Time Cooking and the Coupon App. With the 
stability of the OneDigital platform, management 
simplified Domino’s Japan’s digital investment, 
removing legacy platforms to boost efficiency 

and reduce costs. These decisions had been 
taken before COVID-19, but paid dividends for 
customers, stores, and franchisees, during this 
time. 

In the Second Half, Domino’s Japan’s total sales 
increased to ¥9.4b, with 68.9% of these orders 
sold online. Christmas in Japan is traditionally 
one of the busiest online ordering times for 
the OneDigital platform, but during the peak 
ordering through COVID-19, Domino’s technology 
platform was servicing similar volumes for 
weeks at a time. At its highest, OneDigital was 
processing more than 1,400 orders every five 
minutes. 

OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE 
Sales growth, particularly in the Second Half, 
was driven by more orders, not just larger orders. 
This posed challenges for stores, servicing more 
customers than ever before. In any business, 
doubling orders in a short timeframe would be 
expected to have an equal and negative impact 
on customer service. But Domino’s Japan has 
been proud to live up to the Company’s value 
‘Crush Convention’. A sustained hiring program 
that advertised for 5,200 team members actually 
employed more than 8,000 people; including 
more than 4,000 delivery experts and 450 ebike 
riders. This allowed for a relentless focus on 
Project 3TEN – and Domino’s Japan purchased 
600 bikes to serve this larger delivery fleet. 

By focusing on single deliveries (where a driver 
leaves the store with one customer’s order and 
then returns for another) rather than ‘doubles’ 
or ‘triples’, delivery times stayed low throughout 
the pandemic peaks, and customer satisfaction 
scores were lifted to record levels.  

In June, Domino’s Japan set a new record for 
the market, with an average delivery time of 18 
minutes 52 seconds, across almost 670 stores for 
an entire week – outperforming all competitors in 
the country. 

Satisfied customers helped to drive record sales, 
with 186 stores in May setting a new record for 
their highest monthly sales, with a new store 
(opened that month) breaking the country’s 
monthly record, at more than ¥30.4m.

ANDRE TEN WOLDE
CEO EUROPE

I am proud to present my first 
report as the CEO of Domino’s 
Pizza Enterprises Ltd’s European 
operations. 

In previous updates to investors, 
I have made clear that the view 
of Europe as a single-minded 
entity does not capture the 
many differences in culture, 
governments, and business 
practices of the different 
countries that make up our 
operations. That has never been 
more clear than during this 
pandemic. 

From temporarily closing our 
operations in France, catering 
to new, short-term changes 
in customer ordering in the 
Benelux, through to recording 
record sales in Germany (all 
while opening new markets in 
Denmark and Luxembourg). 
Each of our markets needed a 
locally-focused approach that 
reflected the virus progression, 
government response and 
concerns of our franchisees and 
team members. 

This was a challenging year, 
and yet each of our team 
members impressed; with their 
commitment to our customers 
and communities, our team 
safely delivered more meals and 
provided more charitable giving, 
than in our history.

Despite short-term challenges, 
I am very proud that we 
continued to grow the 
foundations of our business; 
advertising for more than 

2,000 new team members, and 
opening 78 new stores. We 
reached the milestones of 400 
stores in France, 300 stores in 
the Netherlands, and 100 stores 
in Belgium. 

The most concrete example of 
our long-term growth focus was 
the commissioning of our new 
Commissary in Nieuwegein, the 
Netherlands. This state-of-the-
art facility will service not only 
the 400 stores in the Benelux, 
but also will allow for more 
expansion as we open new 
stores in these three countries. 

I was privileged to work 
alongside my friend and 
colleague Andrew Rennie 
for almost a decade, as we 
expanded our operations to 
Germany, then Luxembourg 
and Denmark. Now, with 
1161 stores in nine countries, 
Domino’s Europe is ready 
for the next phase of 
growth.  

I look forward 
to keeping 
our team 
members, 
franchisees 
and 
investors 
updated 
as we 
deliver

In February, Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd 
announced the retirement of Andrew Rennie, the 
Chief Executive Officer of its Europe operations, 
after a quarter of a century in the pizza business. 

Andrew first purchased a store as a franchisee 
with Silvio’s Dial-A-Pizza (now Domino’s) in the 
Northern Territory (Australia). Within 18 months 
his store became the number one store by 
sales in the country, winning multiple awards. 
After a decade as a franchisee, Andrew merged 
his stores with Domino’s in 2004, became a 
shareholder and joined the corporate team. He 
served in Europe twice, first from 2006 to 2010, 
then from 2013 to 2020. 

In that time, he helped to grow the brand in 
Europe from 153 stores, to more than 1,100 stores 
on his retirement from the business. 

On announcing Andrew’s retirement, Group 
CEO & Managing Director Don Meij said: “I’m 
privileged to count Andrew as both a teammate, 
trusted advisor, and friend. 

“When we entered Europe in 2006, many 
questioned whether an Australian company 
could be successful in expanding offshore – that 
is no longer in doubt, and Andrew’s leadership 
has been a key driver of this success. 

“True leaders empower others, and Andrew’s 
lasting Domino’s legacy is the team of leaders 
he has built in Europe; now we have a cohesive 
team of regional CEOs and country managers in 
every market, supported by team members and 
franchisees that will continue to innovate and 
grow.” 

The new CEO, Europe is Andre 
Ten Wolde, a 15-year veteran 
of Domino’s, whom Andrew 
appointed as Europe Chief 
Operating Officer in 2018.

With 1,161 stores, Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd’s European operations are the 
largest by store count and represent the greatest 
opportunity for future growth. These markets 
have the advantage of working together where 
there are shared benefits while still having the 
flexibility to provide an authentic local experience 
for their customers. 

MAKING CONNECTIONS 
Shared technology development and shared 
purchasing are two key areas in which Domino’s 
European operations maximise the benefits 
of scale.  

This year, Domino’s invested in a 
common customer relationship 
management (CRM) marketing platform, 
allowing all European markets to collaborate 
on CRM projects, delivering a greater return on 
marketing investments.  

Domino’s also launched website customisation in 
France, Germany and the Netherlands, which 
provides personalised homepage content to 
customers for a more engaging experience. 

Domino’s further invested in projects to progress 
Project 3TEN, including rolling-out a new version 
of Predictive Ordering in Germany, France, and 
the Netherlands (as well as in Japan), to reduce 
the time taken between a customer’s order and 
delivery.  

Domino’s European markets also worked 
closely throughout the phases of the COVID-19 
pandemic, sharing best practice techniques. 
More information on Domino’s response to 
COVID-19 is provided on page 12.  

 
 
 
FRANCE  
Domino’s operations in France best reflected 
“Before COVID-19” and “During COVID-19” this 
Financial Year. In the First Half, France opened 12 
new stores - including the country’s 400th store 
- equalling the total number of stores opened in 
the prior 12 months.  

Short-term financial support for franchisees 
was delivering results, with improved alignment 
between management and franchisees and 
improved operational execution. For the Full Year, 
Domino’s opened 21 new stores. 

On March 19, shortly after the French Government 
enacted a COVID-19 lockdown period, Domino’s 
announced it would voluntarily close stores 
in France for 15 days. The decision was made 
after consultation with franchisees and team 
members, consistent with the Company’s 
approach throughout the pandemic to be 
responsive to community expectations.  

In France, it was clear our communities preferred 
businesses to close and, in an environment where 
other quick service restaurants were closed, the 
community expected the same of Domino’s.  

Stores began reopening April 1st with Zero 
Contact Delivery immediately implemented.  

FOOD INNOVATION  
For those customers looking for even more pizza, 
Domino’s France launched new XL options for 
larger pizzas, larger Cal’z and larger chicken 
boxes. The Big One, or the biggest pizza yet, 
also made its debut, serving up to 10 people 
with three different offerings each providing four 
pizzas in one.   

A new sauce, Boursin® Garlic & herbs, 
which was used in two new recipes, Pizza 
Boursin® and Poulet Boursin® (on a Cal’z or 
Big Cal’z), was a highlight of the local menu this 
year. ITA

DIGITAL INNOVATION  
During summer, traditionally a period in 
which many customers choose to holiday 
abroad, Domino’s France launched a “Digital 
Summer” campaign, with online-only, 
value-focused offerings boosting sales by 

targeting both delivery and carry-out. The 
campaign resonated with customers, boosting 
online ordering by more than 20%, and more than 
doubling delivery orders made online.  

Customers in France can now create more 
than one million possible pizza combinations, 
using 32 ingredients, four types of dough, three 
sizes and three base sauces with the Crée ta 
pizza platform. This follows similar successful 
offerings in other countries, including the award-
winning Pizza Chef in Australia. The ability to 
have your pizza exactly how you want it has 
proven consistently popular, and a significant 
differentiator from other meal options that force 
customers to choose from a limited selection.  
With more people staying home, Domino’s 
also focused on in-home entertainment as an 
important channel to reach customers this year. 
This included a unique activation partnering with 
popular television show Casa De Papel (Money 
Heist in Australia), and a MyMovie offer, which 
provided a free film for viewing at home with 
any delivery order. To target time-conscious 
lunchtime customers, Domino’s France launched 
a 15-Minute Guarantee, which considers oven 
cooking time and current order volumes, to 
make sure an order will be ready for take-out in 15 
minutes. 

The Jeudi Fou (Crazy Thursday) promotion, a 
simple and impactful offer to build mid-week 
sales, was launched in September 2019 following 
the success of the Mardi Fou (Crazy Tuesday) 
campaign. Supported by a multi-channel 
communication campaign, this new message 
reached more than 100 million contacts, helping 
to build double digit same store sales growth for 
both days.

OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
PROJECT RESET
Domino’s France launched Project RESET this 
year to showcase best practice operations to the 
rest of the country’s store network.  

Running at two corporate stores in Paris, RESET is 
designed to show what stores must be today, and 
in the future, to be competitive; harnessing 
technology and in-store operations to improve 
efficiency and speed. 

The project is based on Domino’s Values: to 
Invest to Create Devotion, and Crush Convention, 
demonstrating it is possible to offer a high-
quality product, speed, and exceptional value at 
the same time.  

RESET demands 100% customer satisfaction, 
ensuring high-frequency repeat ordering. To 
never lose a customer, RESET aims for 
a maximum delivery time of less than 15 minutes 
(ideally less than 10 minutes, in line with Project 
3TEN), and a wait time for carry-out orders of less 
than one minute.  

Behind the scenes the RESET stores are using the 
latest technology and best practice operations 
from throughout Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd. 
This includes predictive ordering, fast bake ovens, 
and flat boxing (where the pizza box is not pre-
folded, reducing double-handling).   

To drive down delivery times, the delivery 
territories require a maximum travel time of five 
minutes, using electric bikes for deliveries and 
runners (team members who hustle orders from 
the store to the rider outside, to minimise down-
time). Managers use Tanda to optimise rosters, 
ensuring the right number of team members are 
in each role for each shift.  

The two Parisian stores in RESET; Paris 13 BNF and 
Paris 11 Auguste, are consistently setting the pace 
for Domino’s stores globally, and franchisees from 
across the country are visiting the stores to watch 
the teams’ performance in person.

After more than two decades in the pizza business, 
and as the current sales record holders of France, 
Fabrice and Carole know better than most what true 
success looks like. 

“Our greatest satisfaction is helping our managers 
to become franchisees,” Fabrice says.  “Three of our 
managers are now franchisees with 11 stores in all. 
“Being able to create, energise and motivate our 
teams comes back to the Golden Rules of Domino’s 

Pizza and the teachings of (founder) Tom Monaghan. 
Our watchwords have always been consistency, 
thoroughness, and customer satisfaction.” 

The couple have also worked hard to ensure each 
of their stores is a pillar of the neighbourhoods they 
operate in, supporting local parades, sports clubs 
and schools. “We have been loyal to our community 
partners for over 21 years and they have been good 
to us.”

BENELUX  
This was a milestone year for the Benelux, with 
new store openings pushing the store network 
past 300 in the Netherlands (May), 100 in 
Belgium (June), and debuting the first store in 
Luxembourg (December). 

With more stores contributing to advertising 
funds, Domino’s was able to expand its marketing 
presence, including the first television campaigns 
in Belgium. 

During COVID-19, Domino’s stores in the Benelux 
acted fast - including ordering additional personal 
protective equipment and thermometers - to 
protect staff and customers.   

As in other markets, sales during 
COVID-19 reflected the changing behaviour of 
customers who were staying home from work 
and university. This initially had a larger impact 
on carry-out sales, with growth in deliveries 
as new customers chose delivery for the first time 
or increased their delivery frequency.  

Where some stores were previously sceptical 
of their ability to resource a larger number of 
deliveries, COVID-19 brought forward future 
delivery demand and franchisees rapidly hired 
new team members to service this need.  

FOOD INNOVATION  
The Benelux demonstrated Domino’s ability 
to offer local flavours to local customers, with 
the launch of the Bicky Pizza, based on a 
Belgian burger famous for its sweet, sour and 
spicy bicky sauces.  

A campaign initially planned around sharing, 
coinciding with the European Football 
championships, was adjusted during COVID-19, 
with local management instead focused on 
demonstrating Domino’s industry-leading safety 
credentials, including Zero Contact Delivery.  

DIGITAL INNOVATION  
The Benelux has been a leader in recent times 
for new technology and this year continued the 
trend.  

In October, the Netherlands launched the first 
loyalty program for Domino’s Pizza Enterprises 
Ltd called Domino’s Rewards, with the program 
now being trialled in selected Australian markets.  

 82 // 2020 ANNUA L REPORT DO MI N O’S PIZZA  ENTERPRISES LIMIT ED.

In March, Domino’s Netherlands also launched 
‘Tip the Driver’ which is an optional and 
contactless way for customers to tip their 
Domino’s Delivery Expert if they wish. With most 
deliveries now ordered and paid online, the 
traditional avenues for customers to tip have 
become less frequent or accessible, particularly 
in light of COVID-19. This online solution has been 
very popular for customers and delivery experts, 
helping to support a new campaign to recruit 
more team members.  

Netherlands operators are increasingly using 
Tanda to optimise rostering, to aid with labour 
law compliance and to reduce labour costs 
without affecting customer service.  

Predictive Ordering V2, noted above, was initially 
implemented in 40 stores, with more than 95% 
accuracy, helping to provide customers with a 
faster delivery without compromising safety.   

In Luxembourg, the first store was launched 
using the OneDigital platform. This ensures 
future growth can be resourced through a world-
class online sales platform, with the availability of 
future customer-facing offerings that have been 
successful throughout Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd.

OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
The Benelux has consistently been at the 
forefront of Project 3TEN – setting the first 
sub-five minute delivery week in the world, 
and frequently performing as one of the fastest 
markets in the Domino’s global network.  

Fast, safe service is good for customers, and for 
store economics, with productivity (measured 
as ‘sales per man hour’) correlated with delivery 
times.   

In this Financial Year, the Benelux has been able 
to reduce delivery times by three minutes 
despite a higher number of orders and societal 
restrictions imposed by COVID-19.  

This Financial Year management 
were also delighted to open our new 
commissary in Nieuwegein. This is an 
environmentally friendly facility, which will allow 
for future growth in this important market.  

The Nieuwegein commissary and corporate office 
facility replaces Domino’s previous head office 
and commissary at Gorinchem, which has now 
closed after a decade of service to the business - 
a period in which Domino’s Benelux store count 
has grown from 126 stores, to 403 stores.  

This year the Benelux opened 32 new stores (+18 
in the Netherlands, +13 in Belgium, and +1 
in Luxembourg).

The Nieuwegein Supply Chain Centre represents 
both an important milestone in the history 
of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd’s European 
operations, and a platform for future growth. 
The new facility, opened June 15th, 2020, replaces 
the previous facility at Gorinchem, which was 
commissioned 11 years prior and which Domino’s 
Benelux has since grown out of. 

The original facility was built to service 250 stores, 
a capacity that Domino’s operations in Belgium, 
the Netherlands and Luxembourg quickly 
expanded beyond. The markets now operate 
more than 400 stores, and the Nieuwegein 
centre can resource 600 stores at its current 
configuration. The new centre will now be 
Domino’s Netherlands headquarters, as well as 
supplying fresh dough, fresh ingredients, and 
other store requirements, from the centrally 
located facility. Nieuwegein is a planned city, 
and the new centre is in a triangle of three major 
transport arteries, allowing efficient supply 
throughout the three countries.

 84  // 2 020 ANNUA L REPORT  DO MI N O’S PIZZA  EN TERPRISES LIMIT ED.

 
A WORLD-CLASS FACILITY 
The Nieuwegein Supply Chain Centre is more 
than twice as large as the Gorinchem facility, at 
8,000sqm (previously 3,000sqm), providing space 
for 1,800 pallets for dry storage, 800 pallets in a 
cool room, and 1,000 pallets in frozen storage. 
Scale is important, not just because of the volume 
of materials that can be stored, but also to allow 
for packing lines to be more efficiently laid out, 
and providing safer, more efficient dispatching 
and truck movements, using 24 truck loading 
docks (an increase from six). 

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS 
From its inception, the Nieuwegein Supply Chain 
Centre has been built for efficiency, which has not 
come at the expense of the environment. Indeed, 
this facility is an example where environmental 
benefits deliver business benefits. 

Solar panels to supply energy to the facility will 
be installed in the future, but for now electricity 
is supplied from the main grid which, since 2019, 
has sourced more electricity from renewable 
sources than from coal. 

Technology also makes the Nieuwegein Supply 
Chain Centre a world-class facility, allowing 
Domino’s to supply stores with fresh, high-quality 
ingredients, fast, efficiently, and with a high 
degree of accuracy. 

By using less energy to produce dough, and more 
efficient delivery routes, not only is there less 
environmental cost, but also less financial cost to 
supply Domino’s stores. 

Dough is at the centre of every Domino’s meal, 
and so it is at the centre of this new facility. It 
is the first Domino’s dough production facility 
to have a fully automatic production line, from 
mixing and making dough balls, through to 
placing these dough balls in a reusable tray ready 
for dispatch to a predetermined store. 

This means the new facility can produce three 
tonnes of pizza bases an hour (enough for 
11,000 pizzas) – each made to Domino’s exacting 
specifications; from the correct amount of flour, 
water, and yeast through to mixing duration, 
so that every customer’s pizza starts with the 
highest quality base. 

Team members use pick-to-light technology, 
making collating orders for stores faster and 
more accurate than previous systems – this 
allows for 500 work containers (containing 2,500 
packages from more than 600 product lines) to 
be dispatched each hour. From there, a fleet of 
trucks, using 22 routes (which are GPS optimised 
for efficiency and energy reduction) deliver to 
Domino’s stores across the region. 

Starting with the dough production line, a 
new style of mixer (which combines dough 
ingredients and then mixes them in a vacuum), 
reduces processing time from seven minutes 
per batch, to now just two minutes. That reduces 
energy requirements and increases throughout, 
without sacrificing quality. 

Every batch of dough needs to be cooled and 
previously this required trays of dough to be kept 
in a cool room for up to eight hours. The new 
centre uses a rotational system, where each tray 
of dough constantly moves through a cool room, 
increasing the flow of cool air around each tray, 
and reducing the cooling time to just 90 minutes 
– a significant energy saving. 

Even then, the excess heat produced from the 
facility’s cooling units is pumped through the 
office space, to save on the need to separately 
heat these areas. 

Domino’s European team are delighted with 
the new facility and look forward to its multiple 
benefits flowing through to this growing market 
in the months and years ahead.

Franchising your first Domino’s store at 21-years-old 
might seem ambitious. But six more stores later, 
the Netherlands’ youngest franchisees, Julius and 
Yannick, continue to prove that age is no barrier to 
success. 
In fact, they believe ‘growing up’ in the Domino’s 
system – starting out as Delivery Experts in their teens 
– has helped them build such a thriving business.  

“We went through every step there is to take in 

Domino’s, from riding the delivery scooter to running 
our own franchise,” Julius says. 

“We are able to identify with our staff and this is 
probably one of the key reasons why we are so 
successful and were able to open several more 
franchises. We went through the same steps and 
were driven to climb the ladder from the get-go. We 
aim to give our people the same sense of freedom 
and confidence, and that motivates them.”

GERMANY  
For the first time, following the completed 
conversion of acquired Hallo Pizza stores, the 
Domino’s Germany team is focused on a single 
brand. 

This unified focus delivered notably strong 
Same Store Sales growth in the First Half. With 
Germany a newer market for Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd, and sales already skewed towards 
delivery orders, stores recorded very strong, 
ongoing, double-digit like for like sales growth 
during COVID-19. Same Store Sales growth in May 
was a record for a mature European market for 
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd. 

Management reported close alignment between 
franchisees and corporate team members. 
For the former, this crisis demonstrated 
the benefits of joining a large, multi-national 
business with decades of experience in 
franchised operations. Examples of these 
benefits included the implementation of Zero 
Contact Delivery, including modifications to 
these procedures for German stores to allow 
for receiving cash, with lessons applied from 
Domino’s Japan operations.  

This year, Domino’s Germany opened 13 new 
stores, including eight new stores since the start  
of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

FOOD INNOVATION  
In the prior year Domino’s Germany focused 
on core ingredient improvements, including 
the recipe for dough and tomato base 
sauce. Extensive customer research this year 
has found customers are crediting Domino’s for 
delivering these improvements – the Company 
is reviewing and conducting further research to 
identify more ways to improve.  

Domino’s Germany launched a new product to 
help customers choose to have their pizza the 
way they like it: “Half & Half”, emphasising pizzas 
being made fresh to order and increasing the 
average ticket.

The Company also launched a new dessert, 
Cinnamon Bread, which proved incredibly 
popular. The new dessert went viral on TikTok, 
reaching more than 100,000 followers, with 
customers even trying to recreate this recipe at 
home, and within three months it became the 
top selling dessert on the menu.  

The popular pizza roll category added a new 
vegan offering which received positive customer 
feedback. As a result, vegan pizzas, which use 
plant-based meat, will be added to the menu in 
the first half of the next Financial Year. Domino’s 
vegan offerings have not only been popular with 
vegans and vegetarians, but also ‘flexitarians’ who 
may seek out plant-based options as part of their 
broader diet.

 88 // 2020 ANN UAL  REPORT DO MI N O’S PIZZA  ENTERPRISES LIMIT ED.

DIGITAL INNOVATION  
Domino’s Germany undertook a suite of projects 
to improve digital performance, benefiting from 
the single-brand focus. All store details are now 
available on all relevant German websites, with 
information updated automatically (for example, 
when store opening hours are modified). 

The digital strategy aims to serve customers 
wherever they choose to order, and however they 
choose to pay. This year Domino’s Germany’s 
website added additional payment options 
including Klarna (Direct Payment) and Domino’s 
own giftcards. Combined, these provide access 
for customers using the cashless payment 
options they prefer.  

As in the Netherlands, Germany is trialling a Tip 
the Driver program, to reflect customers’ latest 
payment preferences.  

Even though most of the growth is coming from 
Domino’s own online channels, management 
recognises some customers prefer to order 
through a third-party aggregator website. The 
digital technology team accelerated connections 
between the Domino’s website and third parties – 
improving the customer experience and allowing 
for faster handling in stores. These new initiatives 
lifted online sales in the First Half by more than 
40% compared to the prior corresponding period. 

OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE  
In March Germany introduced predictive order-
ing, challenging stores to adopt the new technol-
ogy with a prize for stores that achieved seven 
days with delivery times under 12 minutes.  

Franchisee duo Romi Heuser and Christian 
Schenke, (Berlin Steglitz store), managed to break 
the German record for a single delivery order; 4 
minutes and 30 seconds. 

As members of an international brand, Domino’s 
German franchisees are currently adopting the 
Company’s Operational Evaluation Report (OER) 
audits, which measure store performance and 
adherence to international standards on a five-
star scale. Germany’s performance lifted to 3 
stars (from a previous high of 2.4 stars), with the 
number of stores achieving a 5-star audit lifting 
by 40%.

The Company has also extended the use of its 
own training academy to teach best practice 
operations, with 30 coaching sessions undertaken 
this year for crew trainers, shift leaders and store 
managers. Eight of the academy attendees 
became franchisees for the first time this year.  

Combined, these initiatives delivered a record 
year for Domino’s Germany. From first surpassing 
€5 million in sales/week in October, the German 
network broke this threshold 21 times in FY20, 
including seven weeks in a row. In 11 months, 
Germany recorded double digit same-store-sales 
growth.

DENMARK  
After acquiring the rights to Denmark in April 
2019, management has been focused on 
improving the perceptions of the brand in this 
country with a simple message: “Welcome to the 
Real Domino’s”. 

Domino’s Denmark has appointed an 
experienced operations veteran from the 
Australian market to lead corporate store 
operations; training new team members to build 
capacity to open new stores – this year opening 12 
stores. 

As in other markets, Denmark is focused on high-
quality food, at an affordable price, delivered fast 
and safely, and local team members have lived up 
to this challenge. 

In February, Denmark launched the “Every-Day 
Deal” with a value-focused offering at 40 kroner 
(approximately $AU8.70), as part of a focus to 
increase customer counts.  

Using a fleet of 100% ebikes, Denmark has 
consistently performed as one of the 10 fastest 
countries in the Domino’s system. Customers will 
have more visibility of these fast delivery times 
with the transition in FY21 to the OneDigital 
platform and the inclusion of the popular Pizza 
Tracker page.

Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor are outlined in note 34 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 34 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 126 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’ 
Report), dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument amounts in the financial report are rounded off to the 
nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR OF THE NOMINATION AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE

Dear fellow Shareholders,

On behalf of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (NRC) and Board, I am pleased to present the remuneration report for FY20.

Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited (DPE) is a geographically diverse business with a long history of innovation and growth. The Board remains 
committed to ensuring the remuneration frameworks developed for Key Management Personnel (KMP) are focused and aligned with shareholder 
value creation over the long term.

COMPANY PERFORMANCE

This has been a record year for Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd; for group sales, earnings and returns to shareholders. A prudent approach to 
growth and investment has delivered a return on equity of 40.8%, with a three-year average return on equity of 41%; on an underlying basis 
and excluding the impact of AASB 16.

Our shareholders have benefited from our long-term focus, with a total shareholder returns of 83.79% this Financial Year, ranking 2nd in 
the ASX100.

The results this year reflect the hard-work of tens of thousands of team members in nine countries, and a people-first approach. This required 
significant investment in personal protective equipment and other safety measures (including changes to operational procedures) to protect 
the safety and wellbeing of team members and our customers, who credited Domino’s approach in protecting our communities.

Full Year global food sales increased 12.8% (+5.8% on a Same Store Sales basis) to $3.27 billion, with online sales now accounting for 72% of 
total sales, increasing 21.4%. Underlying EBIT of $228.7 million, increased +3.6% on the prior year, and the store network expanded with 163 
new stores opening. This growth and expansion came despite two short-term market closures, in France and in New Zealand.

The results this year, particularly Domino’s ability to trade through an ongoing pandemic while maintaining a strong balance sheet and cashflow 
position throughout, were testament to a global team effort. Domino’s demonstrated the importance of pursuing a consistent strategy of 
delivering high-quality meals for customers, delivered fast, for an affordable price.

FY2020 REMUNERATION OUTCOMES

Fixed pay increases of 2.06% on average were applied in FY20 for executives to align with our objective of rewarding for capability, experience 
and performance, and to ensure we continue to meet the market on executive remuneration.

Short-term incentive results for FY20 averaged at 27.6% of bonus opportunity, with the Group CEO/Managing Director receiving 15% of his 
bonus opportunity. Long-term incentive outcomes are detailed in the report.

APPLICATION OF DISCRETION DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC 

For financial year 2020, the Board considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company and its shareholders to determine 
whether discretion should be exercised in relation to STI outcomes for the year. Having considered all the impacts, including the business 
shut downs in Europe and New Zealand, and the less impacted business in Australia and Japan, as well as the increased costs associated with 
keeping our staff and customers safe, the Board determined that the outcomes are a fair reflection of the year as a whole, and have elected 
not to exercise discretion to adjust STI outcomes.

FY21 REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK CHANGES

During FY20 a comprehensive review of the Domino’s remuneration framework was undertaken to ensure it remains effective, fit for purpose, 
and aligned with shareholders given our continued growth and leadership in our sector. Further details on these outcomes are found in the report.

This year we have sought to improve the level of detail in our remuneration report to address feedback from our Shareholders, and trust that 
the link between pay and performance is apparent.

We thank you for your support and interest in our Company, and look forward to your attendance at our Annual General Meeting currently 
planned to be held in November 2020.

LOOKING AHEAD TO FY21

During FY20 we undertook a comprehensive review of our executive remuneration framework to ensure that it is contemporary, remains fit 
for purpose, and delivers on our objectives. We have also sought to respond to the uncertainty inherent in the COVID-19 pandemic period in 
the year ahead.

As a result of this review, we have made the following changes for FY21:

•  Recognising the difficulty in determining robust performance ranges during this uncertain time, we have introduced wider target and 
payout ranges for our STI plan, with a commitment from the Board to review the targets at the six month period and adjust if required.

•  Extended our STI deferral (33% of any STI earned) to all Executive KMP, including the Managing Director / Group CEO.

•  Moved our LTI options to net-settled options, where only the value above the exercise price is provided to participants in the form  
of shares. The same economic value as options and cost to the company, but simpler for participants and doesn’t require a cash outlay.

Further details of the changes are in section REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK CHANGES FOR FY21 and will also be communicated in our FY21 
Remuneration Report.

REMUNERATION REPORT (CONTINUED)DIRECTORS’ REPORT

USE OF INDEPENDENT REMUNERATION CONSULTANTS

During the year an independent remuneration consultant was engaged by the Remuneration Committee to provide advice and guidance in 
relation to market practice and Domino’s remuneration matters. The Company made payments totalling $154,535 (2019: $118,450) to the 
remuneration consultant in relation to the remuneration advice and guidance provided. The Committee considers the advice and forms its 
own views on all remuneration matters. No remuneration recommendation was sought from or provided by the remuneration consultant.  
The remuneration consultant is engaged directly to the Committee and is free of any undue influence by Executive KMP/ management.

OVERARCHING BOARD DISCRETION

The Board retains the discretion to alter the treatment of awards to ensure there is appropriate alignment between executive pay outcomes 
and the performance of the company. That discretionary assessment (and exercise where required) is conducted at the conclusion of each 
year when incentive outcomes are determined.

For example, where an acquisition is anticipated to have a meaningful effect on EPS growth, the board may increase LTI targets accordingly, 
to ensure these reflect the prudent use of capital.

For financial year 2020, the Board considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company and its shareholders to determine 
whether discretion should be exercised in relation to STI outcomes for the year. Having considered all the impacts, including the business 
shut downs in Europe and New Zealand, and the less impacted business in Australia and Japan, as well as the increased costs associated with 
keeping our staff and customers safe, the Board determined that the outcomes are a fair reflection of the year as a whole, and have elected 
not to exercise discretion to adjust STI outcomes.

MALUS AND CLAWBACK

The Board retains the discretion to lapse any unvested (or vested but not yet exercised) STI or LTI equity awards if, at the discretion of the Board, 
a trigger event has occurred (for example, fraud or dishonesty, breach of contractual obligations, serious misconduct or gross negligence, or 
material reputational damage to the company).

The Board also retains the discretion, in the same circumstances outlined above, to clawback equity awards that have been exercised but 
are held in escrow.

CHANGE OF CONTROL EVENTS

The Board retains the discretion to determine the treatment of awards in the event of a change of control. 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.

EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION POLICY AND STRUCTURE

The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Executive KMP including directors and their support teams. To prosper, 
the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled directors and other Executive KMP. The remuneration structure is designed to 
strike an appropriate balance between fixed and variable pay, rewarding capability and experience and providing recognition for contribution 
to the Company’s overall goals and objectives.

REMUNERATION REPORT (CONTINUED)DIRECTORS’ REPORT
CONTINUED

The Board Remuneration Policy is to ensure that Executive KMP remuneration packages properly reflect the individual’s duties and 
accountabilities and level of performance; and that remuneration is market competitive in order to attract, retain and motivate people of the 
highest quality. This Policy can be described in four key remuneration objectives outlined in the table below:

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.

OVERVIEW OF MANAGING DIRECTOR/GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE (GROUP CEO) REMUNERATION STRUCTURE FOR FY20

The following remuneration structure applied to the Managing Director / Group CEO for the year ended 28 June 2020. The table also shows 
the changes for the Managing Director / Group CEO’s remuneration structure in FY21:

FIXED REMUNERATION

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE

PERFORMANCE-LINKED REMUNERATION

$1,228,800 per annum, inclusive of base salary 
and superannuation contributions.

STI is awarded up to a maximum of 
$1,024,000, subject to the achievement of  
KPIs set annually, and approved by the Board.

This represents an increase of 2.4% from FY19, 
and was applied after the Board undertook a 
review in accordance with its annual processes.

This is an increase of 2.4% from FY19, 
commensurate with the increase in fixed 
remuneration.

Paid as 100% cash.

Options approved by shareholders at the 2017 
AGM worth $7,569,430 in total (using a Black 
Scholes option pricing model) were granted 
progressively from 2017 to 2019.

The Options vest progressively from 2020 to 
2022 subject to achievement of cumulative 
compound annual growth in Earnings Per 
Share hurdles, measured over rolling three year 
performance periods. Value is only delivered 
to the Group CEO where the Domino’s share 
price increases from grant (the exercise price) in 
addition to achieving the performance condition.

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE 

The Board set the KPIs for the Managing Director / Group CEO during the financial year ended 28 June 2020 to be in line with the plan for the 
Group. The first and largest consideration was the financial performance of the Group. This accounts for 95% of the total weighting for the 
short-term incentive bonus, based on year on year EBIT performance in Group and individual markets. The second consideration was the net 
increase in organic new stores across the Group with 5% of the total weighting for the short-term incentive. The specific measures for each KPI 
include a threshold, target and strong performance levels. These levels are not disclosed because they are commercially sensitive in nature.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE (EXECUTIVE SHARE AND OPTION PLAN)

MANAGING DIRECTOR / GROUP CEO LTI AWARDS ON-FOOT

The Long-Term incentive approved by shareholder resolution on the 8 November 2017 resulted in the granting of three tranches of options 
over a three year period. The options were granted under the terms and conditions of the Company’s Executive Share and Option Plan. The 
plan rules are available for inspection on the ASX’s announcements platform.

The Options are subject to a performance condition, including continuous employment, that must be achieved, and have an exercise price 
set at grant. The value that the Managing Director / Group CEO derives from the LTI plan is subject to the partial or whole achievement of the 
performance condition, as well as the share price following vesting. Over the exercise period, if the share price does not exceed the exercise 
price (set at grant), then the Options are “underwater” and no value is delivered to the Managing Director / Group CEO.

The number of Options granted and on-foot under each Tranche, and the relevant exercise prices, are outlined in the table below. The first 
exercise date is shown, and the exercise period is one year from the first exercise date, after which any options not exercised will lapse.

OVERVIEW OF EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK FOR FY20

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 Executive KMP;

the Executive 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.

PAY MIX

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

110 // 2 020 ANNUA L R E PORT D OMI N O’S PIZZA  EN TERPRISES LIMIT ED.

REMUNERATION REPORT (CONTINUED)DIRECTORS’ REPORT
CONTINUED

SUMMARY OF REMUNERATION ELEMENTS

The framework is illustrated in the following table:

FIXED REMUNERATION

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE (STI)

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE (LTI)

Strategic intent

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.

Domino’s approach

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

Delivery

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.

Short-term Incentives are paid for achieving 
Board approved targets, reflective of the 
Group plan.

Long-term incentives are intended to reward 
Executives for sustainable long-term growth 
aligned to shareholder value creation.

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.

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

Depending on the role, provided as cash only, 
or a combination of cash and Rights which are 
deferred and if exercised, are held in escrow 
for a period of two years from grant.

Equity in options. All equity is held subject to 
service and performance for a minimum of 
three years from grant date. The equity is at risk 
until vesting. Performance is tested once at the 
vesting date. Executives have 12 months after 
the vesting date to exercise the options. For 
Australian participants other than the Managing 
Director / Group CEO, shares received on 
exercise of the options are held in escrow for  
a further two years from the date of vest.

FIXED REMUNERATION

Remuneration levels are reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and Managing Director / 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 Executive KMP remuneration is competitive in the marketplace.

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 
Executive KMP and any changes required to meet the principles of the Remuneration Policy. All roles are benchmarked against comparable 
market data. An Executive KMPs remuneration is also reviewed on promotion.

Fixed pay increases of 2.06% on average were applied in FY20 for executives to align with our objective of rewarding for capability, experience 
and performance, and to ensure we continue to meet the market on executive remuneration.

PERFORMANCE-LINKED REMUNERATION

Performance-linked remuneration includes both short-term and long-term incentives and is designed to reward Executive 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”).

REMUNERATION REPORT (CONTINUED)DIRECTORS’ REPORT
CONTINUED

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE

Each year the Nomination and Remuneration Committee sets the key performance indicators (“KPI’s”) for the Group CEO and the Managing 
Director / Group CEO proposes the KPI’s for the other Executive KMP. The KPI’s generally include measures relating to the Group, the relevant 
segment, and the individual, and include financial and operational measures. The measures chosen directly aligned 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 the most relevant short-term performance condition, and for each KPI sets a range that reflects:

•  A threshold level of performance, below which no payment is made;

•  A target level of performance that meets the annual forecast and budget; and

DELIVERY

In the year ended 28 June 2020, delivery was in the form of cash, or a combination of cash and equity, depending on role. For those eligible to 
receive the combination of cash and equity, it was broadly split 67% and 33% respectively, with the equity deferred for a minimum of two years.

The equity is in the form of Rights. The Rights can be exercised by the participant at any time up to ten years from the date of grant. If the Rights 
are exercised within the period two years from the date of grant, they remain under escrow until the two year deferral period has concluded. 
Dividends are earned from the time at which the Right is exercised into a fully paid ordinary share.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE

The Company established the Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) to assist in the recruitment, reward, retention and motivation of the 
company’s Executive KMP (“the participants”). In accordance with the provisions of the scheme, Executive KMP are granted options for no 
consideration to purchase parcels of shares at various exercise prices, subject to the meeting of performance conditions, including Annual 
Compound Earnings Per Share (EPS) Growth for Group roles (and the Managing Director / Group CEO), or a combination of EPS Growth and 
Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) for regional roles.

The value an Executive KMP member derives from the LTI plan is subject to the partial or whole achievement of the performance condition, as 
well as the share price following vesting. If the share price does not exceed the exercise price (as set at grant), then the Options are “underwater” 
and no value is delivered to the Executive KMP member. Dividends are only payable once the options have vested and been exercised into 
an ordinary share.

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

LTI OPPORTUNITY

The LTI opportunity, as a percentage of fixed remuneration, awarded to each Executive KMP is outlined in the table below (excludes the 
Managing Director for whom the LTI award was approved at the 2017 AGM). The number of options awarded is determined by dividing the LTI 
dollar opportunity by the fair value of the relevant option series:

VESTING CONDITIONS FOR OPTIONS ISSUED DURING FY20 

Options awarded during the year ended 28 June 2020 vest subject to the achievement of performance conditions set at the time of grant. 
These performance conditions are based on a sliding scale of the Company’s cumulative annual compound earnings per share (EPS) growth 
for Group based roles, or a combination of the Company’s cumulative annual compound EPS 30% of LTI and the cumulative regional EBIT 
target 70% of LTI over the performance period for regional specific relevant roles.

Participants are not permitted, without the prior written consent of the Chairman, to enter into transactions (whether through the use of 
derivatives or otherwise) which limit the economic risk of participating in the scheme. Participants have 12 months after the vesting date in 
which to exercise their options. For Australian participants, any shares received on exercise are subject to a two-year holding lock from the 
vesting date (i.e. five years from grant).

REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK CHANGES FOR FY21

During FY20, a comprehensive review of the Domino’s remuneration framework was undertaken to ensure it remains effective, fit for purpose, 
and aligned with shareholders given our continued growth and leadership in our sector.

The outcomes of the review are outlined in the table below:

ELEMENT  
OF REWARD

SHORT-TERM 
INCENTIVES

LONG-TERM 
INCENTIVES

CHANGE FOR FY21

RATIONALE FOR CHANGE

Recognising the uncertainty inherent in the COVID-19 pandemic and the 
impact that will have on the year ahead, the Board has elected to make the 
following changes for FY21:

• 

• 

The use of wider STI targets and payout ranges, to recognise the difficulty 
in setting narrow performance ranges; and

Commitment to review the assumptions that underpinned the targets 
after six months to determine whether any adjustments need to be 
made.

In addition, all KMP who do not currently have a deferred Rights component to 
their STI will do so for FY21, with a split of 67% cash and 33% Rights deferred 
for two years. This includes the Managing Director / Group CEO, for which 
shareholder approval will be sought at the next AGM.

All STI Rights awards made from FY21 will have a malus and clawback 
component as part of the broader annual Board assessment of performance 
and application of discretion.

The weighting of organic new store openings will increase for all executives 
that have responsibility for increasing store count.

For LTI grants made in FY21, the instrument will change from options to 
net-settled options, under which the number of shares issued upon vesting 
and exercise is equivalent only to the increase in the share price above the 
exercise price. As with the Options that were previously awarded, the Group 
CEO and other executive KMP will only see economic value in the LTI if the 
share price is above the challenging exercise price set. For the Managing 
Director / Group CEO, shareholder approval will be sought for the new LTI 
award at the next AGM.

All LTI grants will continue to have a three year performance period, with 
a two year exercise and escrow period (including the Managing Director 
/ Group CEO from FY21). All Domino’s KMP are therefore required to hold 
their LTI equity for a minimum period of five years, strengthening the 
alignment of Executive KMP interests with those of our shareholders. 

The EPS Growth and EBIT hurdles will be retained (EPS for all roles, and a 
split of EPS Growth and EBIT hurdles for Regional roles). For FY21 we plan 
to increase the ratio of EPS targets for Regional Roles to 70% and reduce 
the local EBIT targets to 30% to align all roles to a greater weighting on 
Group targets.

The Board considered a wide range of hurdles in its review, including Relative 
Total Shareholder Return and return-based measures. EPS Growth and 
EBIT (for Regional roles) were confirmed as the most appropriate for the 
Domino’s business given they are how we measure our success and generate 
shareholder returns.

All LTI net-settled options awards made from FY21 will have a malus and 
clawback component as part of the broader annual Board assessment of 
performance and application of discretion.

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

The use of wider target and payout ranges allows 
us to take account of uncertainty in the year ahead, 
given the challenges in setting accurate budgets.

It will protect against unintended consequences, for 
example, where performance exceeds expectations 
due to external factors.

The shift to all KMP being rewarded in a 
combination of cash and equity is permanent 
and further aligns the whole KMP group with 
shareholders.

A higher weighting on organic new store openings 
will drive greater accountability to open new stores.

The use of net-settled options is simpler for 
participants and doesn’t require a cash outlay in 
order to exercise the options.

The net-settled options continue to incentivise 
executive KMP to grow the share price in addition to 
achieving the performance conditions.

Economically the same value as the existing options 
and retains our desire to only reward executives 
where there has been an increase in shareholder 
value over the performance period.

EPS and EBIT are our measures of success as a 
business, and represent both the profitability of 
the business and shareholder wealth generation 
over time. The reweighting of regional roles to a 
higher EPS target aligns these roles with the overall 
Group’s result.

Relative TSR was deemed to be inappropriate for 
our business given the challenge in identifying 
appropriate listed peers globally, and the significant 
differences across regions.

The Board has oversight of capital expenditure 
and can increase LTI targets to reflect the earnings 
benefit from acquisitions. As a result, the Board did 
not feel it necessary to include a return on capital 
measure in the LTI.

Knight. As a result, Allan Collins ceases to meet the definition of KMP. The remuneration reported is for the period that he is considered KMP.

As noted previously, in FY21 all Executive KMP, including the Managing Director / Group CEO will shift to a combination of cash and equity for 
future incentive payments.

No other incentives were granted during the financial year ended 28 June 2020.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
CONTINUED

(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)  From the 19 February 2020, given the announced retirement of the now previous Chief Executive Officer of Europe, the Chief Operations 

Officer of Europe is considered a KMP. The remuneration reported is for the period that he is considered KMP.

(iv)  On the 7 August 2020, Allan Collins was appointed to the role of Chief Marketing Officer ANZ and reporting directly to Nick Knight. As a 
result, Allan Collins ceases to meet the definition of KMP. The remuneration reported is for the period that he is considered KMP.

(v)  Share-based payment is calculated using the number of instruments expected to vest by the grant date fair value and amortised over 

the relevant performance and service periods.

(vi)  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 financial year ended 30 June 2019 principally being the cumulative annual compound EPS and cumulative EBIT target over 
the performance period.

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

(viii)  The expense relating to the deferred STI payable as equity or cash is recognised over a 2.9 year vesting period for accounting purposes.

(ix)  Long service leave includes the movement in the leave balance during the year. The accounting value of long service leave may be negative, 
for example where an Executive’s leave balance decreases as a result of taking more leave than they accrue during the current year.

(x)  On 18 February 2020, the Chief Executive Officer of Europe, Andrew Rennie, announced his retirement effective from 29 June 2020. 
The Chief Operations Officer of Europe, Andre Ten Wolde, will assume the Chief Executive Officer of Europe from 29 June 2020. During 
FY20 Andrew Rennie, has taken long service leave entitlements as well as leave without-pay.

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

EXECUTIVE SHARE AND OPTION PLAN (ESOP)

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

For terms, including vesting conditions, of prior year grants, please see relevant year remuneration reports. See section OVERVIEW OF 
MANAGING DIRECTOR/GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE (GROUP CEO) REMUNERATION STRUCTURE FOR FY20 for terms relating to option awards

The directors believe that the remuneration for each of the Executive 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 Executive KMP but do not prescribe how the remuneration levels are modified year to year.

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 “Entity”), and its 
subsidiaries (the “Group”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 28 
June  2020,  the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss,  the  consolidated  statement  of  other 
comprehensive  income,  the  consolidated  statement  of  changes  in  equity  and  the  consolidated 
statement of cash flows for the year then ending, and notes to the financial statements, including a 
summary of significant accounting policies, and the declaration by directors.  

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 Entity’s and Group’s financial position as at 28 June 2020 
and of their financial performance for the year then ending; 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 (including Independence Standards) (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 Entity, 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 of 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
CONTINUED

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The directors 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 
from  error,  as 
intentional  omissions, 
involve  collusion, 
fraud  may 
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, actions 
taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied 

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 101 to 125 of the Director’s Report for 
the year ended 28 June 2020.  

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited, for the year ended 
28 June 2020 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  

Responsibilities  

The  director’s  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 28 June 2020 was authorised for issue in accordance with 
a resolution of the directors on 18 August 2020. 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 24) and equity-settled share-based payments (refer to note 20). 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 01 July 2019 as listed in note 35;

•  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 27.

GOING CONCERN

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Group will continue as a going concern. The Group has a net current 
liability position of $13.3 million at 28 June 2020 (30 June 2019: net current asset position $18.8 million) which is due to the implementation of  
AASB 16 which increased the net current liability position by $51.0 million. Refer to note 35, which outlines the impact AASB 16 had on adoption 
and on the Group as at 28 June 2020.

The Directors have concluded that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the going concern basis is appropriate, and that assets are likely 
to be realised, and liabilities are likely to be discharged, at the amounts recognised in the financial statements in the ordinary course of business.

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 25.

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 8. 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOREIGN CURRENCY

The functional currency of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited is Australian dollars (‘$’), the functional currencies of overseas subsidiaries are 
listed in note 25. 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. 
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 consolidated entity has identified its operating segments on the basis of internal reports about components of the consolidated entity 
that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.

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

•  Australia / New Zealand (“ANZ”)

•  Europe

• 

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.

(i)  During the period the Group has changed the structure of the internal organisation through the introduction of a “Unallocated” segment. 
The Unallocated segment represents corporate costs associated with the management and oversight of global functions which are 
shared by all jurisdictions in which the Group operates. The Group has restated the comparative segment information.

Revenue reported above represents revenue generated from external customers and franchisees. There were no inter-segment sales during 
the period (2019: Nil).

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group’s policies described throughout the financial report. Segment 
net profit before tax represents the profit earned by each segment using the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker for the 
purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.

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.

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 INCOME ON FRANCHISEE LOANS AND CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Interest income is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income 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). 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, 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 overtime on straight-line basis with which is determined with reference to the franchisee’s right to 
use and access and benefit from the intellectual property.

The Group has recognised the following deferred franchise fees:

of revenue related to contract liabilities. Management expects to recognise $3.0 million (2019: $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 14. The policy relating to share-based payments 
is set out in note 20.

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

Occupancy expenses relate to non-lease components of lease contracts and are recognised as an expense when they are incurred.

Prior to the adoption of AASB 16, occupancy expenses were 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 were consumed. 
Operating lease incentives were recognised as a liability when received and released to the income statement on a straight-line basis over 
the lease term.

Refer to note 35 in relation to the adoption of AASB 16.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTISATION

Refer to notes 9 and 11 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 from date 
of inception. 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.

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 $98,721 thousand (2019: $97,886 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.

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.

154 //  2020 ANNUAL  RE PORT DO MIN O’S PIZ ZA  ENTERPRISES LIMITED.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CONTINUED

8 

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.

ACQUISITION OF BUSINESSES (CONTINUED)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

LEASES 

GROUP AS A LESSEE

The Group’s accounting policies for leases under AASB 16 Leases is disclosed in note 35.

The Group has lease contracts for various properties and equipment; including trucks and car equipment which is utilised in its operations. 
Leases of properties generally have lease terms of between 2 and 21 years, while operating equipment generally have lease terms between 2 and  
7 years. The Group’s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the lease assets. The lease contracts include extension 
and termination options, which are further discussed below.

The Group also has certain leases of equipment with lease terms of 12 months or less and leases of office equipment with low value. The Group 
applies the ‘short-term lease’ and ‘lease of low value assets’ recognition exemptions for these leases. The costs associated with the lease 
exemption is disclosed in Note 5.

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amount of its right-of-use assets to determine whether there is any indication that 
those assets have suffered an impairment loss. Refer to Note 9 which outlines the Group’s accounting policy in regards to impairment assessment.

The future cash outflows relating to leases that have not yet commenced are disclosed in note 28.

The average effective interest rate contracted is approximately 0.94% per cent per annum.

The Group has not recognised any variable payments in its finance lease arrangements.

The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. These options are negotiated by management to provide 
flexibility in managing the leased-asset portfolio and align with the Group’s business needs. Management exercises significant judgement in 
determining whether these extension and termination options are reasonably certain to be exercised.

GROUP AS A LESSOR

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

These leases have terms of between 2 and 21 years. Leases include a clause to enable upward revision of the rental charge on an annual basis 
according to prevailing market conditions.

The Group’s accounting policies for leases under AASB 16 is disclosed in note 35.

Extension and termination options are included in a number of property and equipment lease agreements across the Group. These options 
provide operational flexibility in managing the lease portfolio.

The Group applies criteria to assess whether the exercise of extension options within lease contracts is reasonably certain, including 
consideration of tenure at existing location, the remaining useful life of the store, plant and equipment, remaining term of sub-franchise 
agreements (where applicable) and alignment to the assumptions used in the Group’s short to mid-term planning process. Future cash outflows 
in respect of leases may differ from leases liabilities recognised due to future decisions that may be taken by the Group that will determine 
whether the options are exercised in respect of the use of leased assets. There is no exposure to these potential additional payments in excess 
of the recognised lease liabilities until these decisions have been taken by the Group.

The majority of the Group’s property leases have option periods or are able to be extended beyond the initial lease term which is at the Group’s 
(leasee) discretion. Lease options periods are typically made for fixed terms of between 1 to 10 years.

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.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CONTINUED

11 

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES (CONTINUED)

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 2020 financial year (2019: 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 (2020: $31.7m, 
2019: $31.6m). In addition, the same treatment has been applied to the MFA and associated franchise agreements recognised on the acquisition 
of Domino’s Pizza Japan (2020: $47.1m, 2019: $46.0m). 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 24.

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.

has been adjusted for impact of AASB16, over the forecast period adjusted for any non-recurring costs.

COVID-19:

In general, COVID-19 has not had a significant adverse impact on the operations of the Group. Other than when stores have been closed, which 
occurred briefly in France and New Zealand, sales have generally remained strong through lock-down periods, with an increase in delivery sales 
largely offsetting a decrease in store pick-up sales. Certain jurisdictions, notably Japan and Germany, have seen an increase in sales during 
COVID-19. In other jurisdictions, including Australia and BENELUX, store pick-up sales were initially impacted more than delivery sales growth, 
however, have subsequently continued to improve.

The impact and responses to the global outbreak of COVID-19 continue to evolve and there are difficulties in projecting the impact and duration 
of the pandemic on the Group’s business. In setting its assumptions, the Group has considered its demonstrated capacity to respond to the 
impact of COVID-19 on the operational and financial performance of the business, including through government regulation (such as lock-
downs and financial support initiatives) and changing customer requirements.

The FR & BE CGU has been adversely impacted by discretionary franchisee support provided during 2020, with the France stores being closed 
for a brief period during the initial outbreak of COVID-19. The discretionary support is not forecast to continue over the longer term. Therefore, 
this has increased the 2020 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 relates to claims that have been brought against the company by a number of former and current Pizza Sprint 
franchisees.

ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

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

• 

• 

• 

future increases in wages and salaries;

future on-cost rates; and

experience of employee departures and period of service.

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 20.

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, 604,250 options were exercised (2019: 248,350). A total of $29,201,780 was received as consideration for 604,250 fully paid 
ordinary shares of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited on exercise of the options in the current financial year (2019: $12,616,763).

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CONTINUED

16 

EQUITY (CONTINUED)

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 28 June 2020 
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, Australian dollars, are recognised directly in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign 
currency translation reserve.

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 20 to the financial statements. The Group settled the Domino’s Pizza Enterprises 
Limited Employee Share Trust to manage the share option plan.

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.

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.

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

The weighted average exercise price at the date of the exercise of options during the 2020 financial year was $48.33 (2019: $40.81).

The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at the end of the 2020 financial year was 1.97 years (2019: 1.92 years)

FAIR VALUE OF SHARE OPTIONS GRANTED IN THE YEAR

The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the 2020 year is $11.58 (2019: $3.98). Options were valued using a Black Scholes 
option pricing model. Where relevant, the expected life used in the model has been adjusted based on management’s best estimate for the 
effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural conditions.

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.

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.

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.

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.

FINANCIAL ASSETS (CONTINUED)

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 $35.7 million (2019: $40.9 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 12). 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.

IMPAIRMENT

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 5.8% (2019: 6.7%) in Australia and New Zealand, the average interest charged in France is 5.91% (2019: 5.61%), 
in the Netherlands is 7.09% (2019: 7.79%), in Germany is 4.96% (2019:4.78%) and the average interest charged in Japan is 5.0% (2019: 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.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

FINANCIAL LIABILITY AND EQUITY INSTRUMENTS

CLASSIFICATION AS DEBT AND EQUITY

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

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 LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

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.

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.

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

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 24, 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 24.

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.

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.

MATURITY OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The following tables analyse the Group’s financial assets and liabilities, including net and gross settled financial instruments, into relevant 
maturity periods based on the remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are 
contractual undiscounted cash flows and hence will not necessarily reconcile with the amounts disclosed in the balance sheet.

Expected future interest payments on loans and borrowings exclude accruals already recognised in trade and other payables.

For foreign exchange derivatives and cross-currency interest rate swaps, the amounts disclosed are the gross contractual cash flows to be paid.

For interest rate swaps, the cash flows are the net amounts to be paid at each quarter, excluding accruals included in trade and other payables, 
and have been estimated using forward interest rates applicable at the reporting date.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

The following table details the Group’s liquidity analysis for is derivative financial instruments. The table has been drawn up based on the 
undiscounted contractual net cash inflows and outflows on derivative instruments that settle on a net basis, and the undiscounted gross 
inflows and outflows on those derivatives that require gross settlement. When the amount payable or receivable is not fixed, the amount 
disclosed has been determined by reference to the projected interest rates as illustrated by the yield curves at the end of the reporting period.

The Group’s activities expose 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; and

• 

Forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk of purchases.

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:

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

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.

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.

Profit or (loss)

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.

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.

There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

The only financial liabilities subsequently measured at fair value on Level 3 fair value measurement represent the fair value of the put option 
and market access right relating to the acquisition of Domino’s Pizza Germany and contingent consideration for previous acquisitions. 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 $87.8 million and has a closing balance at year end of $113.0 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 22 and 23 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.

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.

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 28 June 2020, 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 transaction 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 28 June 2020 is borrowings of $150,972 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.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

HEDGING RESERVES

The Group’s hedging reserves are disclosed in note 16.

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 arrears. 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 29. 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 25.

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 29 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.

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 at first instance 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 then 
filed an appeal from the decision in the main claim and in 2 local claims to the Cour de Cassation i.e. the French highest Court.

The Cour de Cassation handed down its judgement on 15 January 2020 in the main claim which found errors of law in the Court of Appeal 
decision and set aside parts of the Court of Appeal’s decision. The Cour de Cassation handed down its judgement on 7 July 2020 in one of 
the 2 local claims which found errors of law and cancelled the Court of Appeal’s decision. The current status of these 2 claims ruled on by 
the Cour de Cassation is that the first instance decisions stand and SRP is entitled to file a fresh appeal of those 2 decisions to the Court of 
Appeal. SRP has not yet filed such appeals. The Cour de Cassation has not yet rendered its decision in the other above-mentioned local claim.

For the sixth local claim, the Court found in favour of DPF at first instance on 27 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 
filed an appeal from that decision to the Cour de Cassation which dismissed the appeal on 29 January 2020.

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 position. Accordingly, 
no provision has been recognised as at 28 June 2020.

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 (Relevant Pizza Sprint Franchisees) whom allege a significant imbalance in the rights and obligations by the 
franchisor (Franchisees’ Proceedings). 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 the Relevant Pizza Sprint Franchisees have been settled on a commercial basis.

The French Ministry for the Economy and Finance (Ministry) also brought proceedings (Ministry Proceedings) involving the same facts 
against Fra-Ma Pizz SAS, Pizza Center France SAS and Domino’s Pizza France SAS (collectively, DPF Companies). The Ministry Proceedings 
are being defended by the DPF Companies. The Relevant Pizza Sprint Franchisees sought to join the Franchisees’ Proceedings to the Ministry 
Proceedings. The request was rejected by the court on 15 February 2018.

On 24 June 2019 the Franchisees’ Proceedings and Ministry Proceedings were heard separately. On 22 October 2019, a decision was made in 
relation to the Ministry Proceedings which did not result in any fine or financial charges against any of the DPF Companies. The Ministry has 
appealed the decision and the Relevant Pizza Sprint Franchisees have also filed an appeal in support.

Five decisions in the Franchisees’ Proceedings were handed down on 3 December 2019 and the remaining decisions were handed down on 
31 January 2020. Fra-Ma Pizz SAS and Domino’s Pizza France SAS were ordered to pay a total amount of €3 million to certain Relevant Pizza 
Sprint Franchisees. Various appeals have been filed by the DPF Companies, on the one hand, and separately by some of the Relevant Pizza 
Sprint Franchisees, on the other, with the Paris Court of Appeal. The need to make the payment in each case has been suspended pending 
the outcome of the appeals.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

CLASS ACTION

On 24 June 2019, Riley Gall, as the lead applicant, commenced a representative proceeding (class action) against the Company in the Federal 
Court of Australia on behalf of an alleged group comprising Australian franchisee employees who were employed as delivery drivers or in-store 
workers between 24 June 2013 and 23 January 2018.

The statement of claim alleges that the Company misled its franchisees who, in reliance on the Company’s representations and conduct, paid 
their delivery drivers and in-store workers in accordance with a number of industrial instruments rather than under the Fast Food Industry 
Award 2010.

The Company rejects the allegations and has been defending the action vigorously. A defence denying the allegations has been filed and an 
application to have the statement of claim (or parts thereof) struck out was heard on 9 June 2020. A decision on the strike out application is 
yet to be handed down.

The statement of claim does not quantify any loss by the lead applicant or the alleged group and, to date, the applicant’s solicitors have not 
indicated how many members form part of the alleged group. Accordingly, the Company remains unable to determine any potential obligation 
or financial impact arising from the alleged damages claimed in the proceeding.

FRANCHISEE LITIGATION 

As announced, on 20 December 2019, Fred White and his related franchisee companies (the Applicants) filed proceedings in the Federal 
Court of Australia against the Company, Don Meij and a former executive of the Company (the Respondents). On 18 May 2020, and before the 
Respondents filed a defence, the whole of the proceeding was discontinued against all Respondents with no order as to costs. As the matter 
was withdrawn, no contingent liability has been recognised.

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 28 June 2020 and unless 
specific provisions have been made are of the opinion that no material contingent liability for such claims of litigation exist.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On 18 August 2020, the directors declared a final dividend for the financial year ended 28 June 2020 as set out in note 18.

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.

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.

The most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out at 28 June 2020 
by Mr. K. Taniguchi, Certified Pension Actuary.

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 01 July 
2019 and therefore, relevant for the current year end.

STANDARDS AFFECTING PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE

AASB 16 LEASES 

AASB 16 Leases (‘AASB 16’) replaces AASB 117 Leases for annual periods beginning on or after 01 July 2019, resulting in almost all leases being 
recognised on the balance sheet, as the distinction between operating and finance leases has been removed in respect of lessees. 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 has not significantly changed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CONTINUED

35  OTHER ITEMS (CONTINUED)

Impact of Adoption

The Group has adopted AASB 16 from 01 July 2019.

AASB 16 introduces new or amended requirements with respect to lease accounting. The impact of the adoption of AASB 16 on the Group’s 
consolidated financial statements is described below.

The Group has applied AASB 16 using the cumulative catch-up approach which:

• 

requires the Group to recognise the cumulative effect of initially applying AASB 16 as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained 
earnings at the date of initial application; and

•  does not permit restatement of comparatives, which continue to be presented under AASB 117 and IFRIC 4.

Impact of the new definition of a lease 

The Group applies the definition of a lease and related guidance set out in AASB 16 to all lease contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 
July 2019 (whether it is a lessor or a lessee in the lease contract). In preparation for the first-time application of AASB 16, the Group has carried 
out an implementation project. The project has shown that the new definition in AASB 16 will not significantly change the scope of contracts 
that meet the definition of a lease for the Group.

Initial adoption practical expedients

In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

•  The use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases, with reasonably similar characteristics;

•  The exclusion of initial direct cost for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial applicable;

•  The use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend of terminate the lease;

•  The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities to leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months 

of the date of initial application; and

• 

For leases of low-value assets (which includes tablets and, laptops computers, small items of office furniture and telephones), the Group 
has opted to recognise a lease expense on a straight-line basis as permitted by AASB 16. This expense is presented within ‘other expenses’ 
in profit or loss.

Group’s leasing activities and how these are accounted for

The Group leases various properties, trucks and cars. Lease contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 3 to 10 years. The Group’s leases 
may have extension options as noted below. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms 
and conditions.

Domino’s Occupied-Operated Properties, Trucks and Cars

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

On transition, the right of use asset has been measured, on a lease by lease basis, at either (a) the value of lease liability adjusted for any prepaid 
or accrued lease payments; or (b) present value of committed lease payment since commencement of the lease term (this approach resulted 
in an adjustment to opening retained earnings).

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the Group’s incremental 
borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the Group would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a 
similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

In the income statement, net rental expense has been replaced by interest and straight-line depreciation expense (previously operating leases 
were an expense within occupancy costs). As the lease liability is carried at the present value, an interest expense will arise over the duration of 
the lease term. This impacts the Group’s earnings before interest and tax (‘EBIT’), which is a key measure used by the business. The principal 
component of lease payments has been reclassified in the current period in the statement of cash flows from operating to financing activities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CONTINUED

35  OTHER ITEMS (CONTINUED)

The Group has elected 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.

The right of use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term; which is inclusive of extension option periods where the 
Group is reasonably certain the lease term will be extended. The lease terms range from 1 to 7 years for equipment (trucks and cars) leases 
and 2 to 21 years for property leases.

Former finance leases

For leases that were classified as finance leases applying AASB 117, the carrying amount of the leased assets and obligations under finance 
leases measured applying AASB 117 immediately before the date of initial application is reclassified to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities 
respectively without any adjustments.

Subleases Arrangements

The Group has a portfolio of long-term (greater than one year) ‘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 has resulted in the recognition of a financial asset and financial liability, representing the 
present value of future cash flows receivable on the subleases and payable on the head lease respectively. Both categories of financial 
instruments generate interest income and expense, which materially offset within the income statement.

The financial assets recognised in relation to back-to-back leases have been recognised as “Investment in lease assets” in the Statement of 
Financial Position. The receipts from these back-to-back leases are included in “Receipts from subleases” in the Statement of Cash Flows 
within the financing activities. Lease payments are now classified within financing activities which were previously in operating cash flows.

Extension and termination options 

In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension 
option, or not to exercise a termination option. Extension options held by the Group (or periods after termination options) are only included in 
the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). Refer to note 10 for the judgement regarding the exercise 
of extension options within lease contracts is reasonably certain.

The assessment is reviewed if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs which affects this assessment and that is 
within the control of the Group.

IFRIC Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment

The Interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of AASB 12 
Income Taxes. It does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of IAS 12, nor does it specifically include requirements relating to interest 
and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments. The Interpretation specifically addresses the following:

•  Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately;

•  The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities;

•  How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates; and

•  How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances.

The Group determines whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together with one or more other uncertain tax 
treatments and uses the approach that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty.

The Group applies significant judgement in identifying uncertainties over income tax treatments. Since the Group operates in a complex 
multinational environment, it assessed whether the Interpretation had an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Upon adoption of the Interpretation, the Group considered whether it has any uncertain tax positions, particularly those relating to transfer 
pricing. The Company’s and the subsidiaries’ tax filings in different jurisdictions include deductions related to transfer pricing and the taxation 
authorities may challenge those tax treatments. The Group determined, based on its tax compliance and transfer pricing study, that it is 
probable that its tax treatments (including those for the subsidiaries) will be accepted by the taxation authorities. The Interpretation did not 
have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

The adoption of these amendments did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in prior periods. The Group is unable to assess what 
impact these amendments (if any) will have on future reporting periods.

NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 01 July 2019 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 2018-6 Amendments to AASs - Definition of a Business

The amendments to the definition of AASB 3 Business Combinations help entities determine whether an acquired set of activities and 
assets is a business or not. They clarify the minimum requirements for a business, remove the assessment of whether market participants 
are capable of replacing any missing elements, add guidance to help entities assess whether an acquired process is substantive, narrow the 
definitions of a business and of outputs, and introduce an optional fair value concentration test. New illustrative examples were provided 
along with the amendments.

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